It will be a serious and a sad mistake if we dicker with the slate highway commission too long and lose the east and west concrete road. What will the average newspaper do for a proof reader if Russia and China go to war. Most of us can't spell or pronounce the names when lieve they arc in deepe.it earnestness in their efforts. Three or tour weeks ago a weed cutting campaign was put on and its about time tor I to be repeated. Why not do it before the officials order it done, thus helping the appearance of the property Hid assisting th i street commissioner and others in their job which is dlfficul enough at best? The Decatur high school and grades nine to twelve inclusive have been designated as h«!t>g entitled to a first class commission by tile state board of education, highest rank for efficiency that can be bestowed. This is a worth while honor and those in charge with Mr. Worthman have a right to feel very proud indeed.

After today It will be quite necessary that you have a license or a receipt for same from some person etntled to issue same unless you prefer to take a chance of being arrested and denied a license. It may be a silly and needless law and require some red tape but its the law and those who disobey It should not rave if they are hauled into court. A North Carolina editor espousing the custom of as little clothing as possible during the hot months walked down street in Ids pajamas, was arrested and then lauded by the judge. He has receivi il so much publicity that now !i • is advocating It as a national custom. Why fool around with pajamas? I sea one-piece bath ing suit Most folks would look rather foolish in nighties. George Baker, New York multimillionaire, rati a n something over three hundred million, and eighty years old or more, is said to have gotten quite a thrill a few days ago when he cleaned up eleven million dollars in one session, but it probably didn't compare with the thrill he got when he earned and saved his first hundred dollars. -

The Chinese ambassador and his wife who were caught smuggling a million dollars worth of opium into this country recently are doing everything they can to he tried hare instead of in their own country. You catn't blame them. Here the nenalty will probably he a year or two in a comfortable prison while over in Pekin the dose will be that they lose their heads.

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Borger, Tex., —(UP) — Rooming quarters are so scarce In the oil bodm town of Pampa, Gray County that two men recently were forced to spend the night sleeping In the cemetery. the parades, the old settlers day, every thing will be well worth your time. Every effort will be made to keep the fair elcan and wholesome and so good every way that you will want to come back next year. The outlook for an unusually large crop of grapes was never better in the middle west it la claimed. That means a lot of jelly and thats good for every one. It is asserted by good authority that more jelly Is being consumed in this country than ever before and thousands who thought grapes good only for wine have found that there is really more pleasure in a cupboard full of jelly. The children like it and so do the rest of the family; the baker says it means that more bread will be consumed and that pleases the flour merchant, all in all its very satisfactory. Some idea of how we have speeded up is shown by a glance at the endurance records of airplanes. In 1904. just twenty-five years ago, Wilbur Weigh startled the world by keeping his ship up five minutes while this week Jackson and O'Brine have sailed around the three hundred hour mark and their record will probably be shattered before tho year is out. The achievement came along slowly until this year when the engines seem to have been greatly improved so far as continuous running is concerned. In 1905 tho record was thirtyeight minutes and that stood until 1908 when it was two hours and twenty minutes. In 1923 it was only twenty-three hours, in 1925 it was forty-five hours and last year 65 hours and thirty-one minutes. This year the record was "busted" several times and now has exceeded the fondest dreams of the engine builders.

This is especially so in visiting the sick. One really has to be real sick once to realize what it means to be over-visited. Many patients are in a state of exhaustion after even thirty minutes visit. And with patients not very sick, a long visit in tho evening prevents them from olcopng that night, with all the dire consequences. Tn the hospital, a patient’s day begins early with bathing, medicines, etc., and it is necessary, therefore, that he get prepared fcr a night’s rest early in tho evening. Many patients, due to pain or norvousn mast have sedative drugs one-half to one hour before going to sleep. Tn order for these drugs to act correctly, the patient must not be disturbed after taking them or otherwise the effect is lost and ths rest .Jest. Also, in a hospital, there are always very s’ck folks, who are mu :h disturbed by visitors staying too long in nearby rooms. In cone case a sow hours rest is a matter of life and death. It is suggested that, for the patients’ benefit, it is much better to visit him' in the afternoon hours, than at night., But if i is only possible at night, to go early and stay only a very shCft. | time.

nous number of even short visits. That is worse tjian one long one. When one is siek, everything should be done for his welfare, and I am sure that many patients will be grateful if we refrain from exhausting them with visits. With a little thought, we can help them to get well and then they will enjoy a real visit with a big dinner.
