DIDJA’ KNOW that a 1924
car which originally cost
$1,700 brought only $40 at
a recent auction — though
it was new and undriven?
DIDJA’ KNOW America’s
first auto driver’s license
was issued to Elwood
Haynes of Kokomo, Ind.. in
1893?
DIDJA’ KNOW that you
can have your car steam-
cleaned, vacuum-cleaned

of time to prevent the county’s being
overrun with this disease-spreading,
sleep-destroying pest. That same
warning applies just as forcibly to
Celina. To find out what precautions
are or will be taken here to forestall
these insects, we contacted G. C.
Sheets, chairman of the city council’s
street committee, and Grover Tate,
waterworks superintendent, to know
the status of the situation. We learn
ed that they have just been waiting
until the showers become less fre-
quent to begin the fight, as the liquid
used to kill the wiggletails is washed
away during the time ot frequent
showers and is almost a total loss.
The help of the citizenship will be
needed. Everyone who maintains a
home should see that all stagnant
water on his premises is treated and
should notify Mr. Sheets or Mr. Tate
of the presence of breeding places
on the streets. It will be necessary,
too, to keep an eye on empty tin cans.

JONES PHARMACY
It is going to take some effort to
prevent Cclina’s presenting a wild and
wooly appearance after all the rains
we have had. The head of each family
shall have to appoint himself a com-
mittee of one to see that spare time
shall be used for all that can be got-
ten out of it to cut the weeds and
grass and work the flower beds. The
rains have put vegetation on a grow
ing rampage and to cope with the
condition we shall have to work early
and late, if we are not in a position
to hire it done. Even with a yard
man, there will be a demand on the
head of the house for some work in
rounding up the corners.

Here is a little editorial packed with
truth, which we take from the “Sub
Rosa” column of the Lewisville En-
terprise:
“1 have never been able to see the
justice of a law, a local man was
heard to say yesterday, that permits
a young man with no responsibilities
and a good job to throw his money
away in self-indulgence and gambling
and then requires some man who ex
erases restraint and thrift and sell -
denial through taxes to support the
self-same young man when he b(
comes old and no longer able to work.
It. is a thing that can’t be worked out,
but that doesn't prevent its being un
just and unfair.”
* I* =n
There must be some sinister motive
behind this talk of restoring to the
governor the pardoning power. How
one who has given the matter any
study and has seen it operate as it
was operated a few years ago can de
sire the restoration of this power te
the governor is more than we can un
derstand. We all know how the pat
doning power, when vested in the
governor not so long ago, was abused.
And that's not all. No governor could
attend to the other duties of his of
fice and give to the consideration o.v
pardons the time they deserve. The
Record does not believe that any gov-
ernor who has the welfare of the
state at heart would want to Carry
the burden of the pardoning power.
