Stop this Horseplay for Duration -
Starting some fantastic rumor as s practical joke i*
___ that might well be dispensed with in wartime. Some
fellow who has a turn for horse-play tells a friend a cock-and-
bull gtory just to have fun at that friend’s expense. If the
joker sees that his yarn is about to cause serious results, he
can tell that friend the truth and no serious harm done. But
what about all the folks that your friend has repeated the
yarn to In the meantime T Neither you, nor he - nor anyone
cJf can stop a false report once it has been started, and end-
tees harm may result.

Rather Believe Rumor Than Truth
(hi the other hand, we should be slow to believe senaa-
tlonal reports that come ,in a round-about way and even more
cautious in repeating them. There is a disposition on the part
at loo many people to believe idle talk more readily'than a
direct statement of the facts by a person in authority or in a
position to know* first-hand.
We have seen many instances in Stamford recently’of
false rumors being started and repeated from person to per-
son as the truth. In fact the staff of this newspaper spends a
good bit of time checking up on more or less sensational
rumors. Most of them we find to be either totally false or
grossly exaggerated. A lot of people would do well to read
ilwir newspapers more and listen to rumor less.

the idea was to have grounds, hospitals and whatnot listed

-------A recent-rumor that refused to be downed was that the
schools would be short a large number of teachers at the
opening. Even after the superintendent announced the week
before the opening that a full corps of teachers had been
employed, some people read the statement and continued to

This Kind More Serious
-------Atsother'type of rumor frequentlynrtrctiTBtwI. 'ind one
that is more serious than the kind just mentioned, is that
concerning men in the armed service. Frequently there are
reports that this or that man has been torn limb from limb
when he probably has not received even a scratch. On the
milder side, a wound in one leg usually develops into a report

that both legs have been shot off. Slight burns are expanded
to complete disfigurement. A sprained ankle easily becomes a
serious battle wound.
People who really enjoy calamity will of course continue
to believe Dame Rumor. Those who prefer peace of mind will
do well to ignore round-about reports and listen only to the
facta. The truth will be bad enough.
Evoa a- Traa Doctor-Rocofaisoa Culture -
A tree doctor came along and noticed that our shade
trees were rather anemic. He diagnosed the case and took
chaqge of the patients. The hackberries, being in the front
yard and of the upper-crust, so to speak, were afflicted with
haters and termites. They required surgery in addition to
awdiral treatment, and a check-up every year for three
years. The doctor bill for the four of them was $12.
The lowly mesquites in the back yard Were afflicted with
open sores. They required gas treatment to kill the infection
sad stop the bleeding. The doctor's fee for four mesquites
was only $3. What price culture-!

the trees died we would have the comfort of knowing that we
had done all that treeological science could do to save them.
However, our own peace of mind has not been entirely res tor

a case of prolonged thirst in July and August that made those
hackberries shed their leaves.
