The Place Where You Write Your Own Deal MALARIA STILL KILLS THE FARMERS in the North can aardly believe that malaria still kills, for today only sporadio cases of malaria remind them of the days when they suffered badly from this disease. The old people there can still tell you the story of these periodically returning chills and fevers and also how they conquered the disease by taking quinine regularly.

The quinine bottle sacred object to their. homes and tarms, for without quinine health and wealth would have been lost. To these people the word malaria conjures up world of great and prolonged misery which today leaves them unharmed. Their young sters hardly know anything about IL. In the Southern States, however, the people are in the very midst of this dreadful misery, for here mai laria is still their most deadly TO VOTE ON WHEAT QUOTA ON MAY 31 Although farmers in Pemiscot county produce little wheat in comparison with the rest of the state, they, with all others, will be given the opportunity to vote on the wheat marketing quota under the government AAA program on Saturday, May 31.

To into 14,014 struct this large body of young people 278 white and 58 colored teachers were employed this year. One reason for the increase in, attendance is the provision of facilities for rural pupils by establishing bus routes, this particularly aiding high school attendlance, the speaker said. Another contributing factor is the furnishing of hot lunches in schools in recent years, and he estimated that in the county during the present school year 5,000 or more pupils were fed noonday lunches regularly through the schools' participation in the WIPA and NYA programs.

Other contributing factors adding to interest in school work has been the broadening of curricular programs, such as the addition of vocational courses, music courses, both vocal and instrumental, industrial arts training and so on. These naturally have added to the cost of the educational program, but the people have demanded them, along with' transportation facilities, and the considered the educational field much better covered by reason of having them. Speaking of the lunch program, Mr. Jones said that there now is (around 79 acres of gardens being cultivated for food supplies for the schools and that practically every school, outside the small rural ones, has its facilities for OBSERVE DECORATION DAY AT MT.

1 common enemy. There probably la 50 more Important problem in the Southern States than the malaria problem, because malaria does not only destroy their healtt but it also HiMa them. Malaria la one of the most wide spread and destructive diseases, and statisticians have Agured out that annually between 70 and $0 million people are infected by this Illness all over the world. The number of deaths caused by malaria figured at about million per year. But the people of the South do not need the help of a statistician to know what malaria means, for in their States malaria today constitutes a grave danger.

They know too well that malaria still kills. The officers of the U. 8. Public Health Service, the physicians, nurses and engineers are unrelenting in their attempt to drive this disease out of the Southern States. In their courageous struggle against maiaria, quinine still la their main and most trustworthy weapon.

Nothing illustrates this better than the state ment of a doctor who works in one of the most seriously stricken re cons. He said: "I could not be doctor tor one minute longer 11 1 did not have the aid of my bast As sistanti come of wheat farmers, Claude L.
