The causative germ may enter the body through a cut or abrasion in the skin, thus getting into the blood stream and internal organs. A severe ulcer may form at the wound ;o matter how slight in size.

The day was started off each morning by a devotional in which a different minister of a different church talked to them and admonished admon-ished them to live their lives fully and with dignity. Utah is the only state which has devotional periods at their Girl's State and it certainly adds to the fine feeling there. From there the girls went to meetings where they elected their leaders at a city, county, and state level and were taught how to function in these capacities. There were 10 cities with approximately approx-imately 25 girls per city. From these a mayor, two commissioners, a city auditor and a city judge were elected to keep the affairs of the city in order. Having once been elected to one office, no girl could run for anther an-ther one. The voting was done on a partisan basis with two parties, the Nationalists and the Federalists, Federal-ists, each trying to get their representatives rep-resentatives in office. Some very vigorous campaigning Glenda Snow was done with snake dances, posters, post-ers, songs, and even sk;ns 20 feet long strung in the budding unl'l the officers wore elected. At nights it was a madhouse trying to get everything done before be-fore the lights went out. "-There was a lot ofwoik to Girl's State, but there was also a lot of fun to it, too. Each night the different cities took turns putting on a talent show which was usually very entertaining and humorous. All the girls enjoyed participating in these. It was a ru'v at Girl's State that you had to stand while the Girl's State son"; was being sung, and the favorite time to sing it was at meals. You averaged standing up at meals anywhere from 5 to 15 times to sing the song while your dinner got cold. MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE Delta.
