The history of the valley shows

they are willing to pay moro for

can then proceed to fleece them as
they did before the associations
were formed.
Mr. g. B. Thoman, manager Of
the Lamar association, makes some
good points along this line i'll last
weeks Sparks. His article is in
reply to the argument of an inde-
pendent shipper who signed him
self "a Grower" and should re
carefully read BY every cantaloupe
grower. Following is a portion of
his argument on behalf Of the as
sociations:
"A wise man has sprung up in
our midst who knows how to
apply good business methods to
the cantaloupe growing business.
He would discard all organization,
eliminate all commission men, ship
his goods and deliver them direct
" to tho consumer. How he ex-
poets to do this is not as vet ap-
parent, but doubtless "a Grower"
has the matter arranged.

we are waiting to load now. Our
goods are standing out there in
the sun and are being damaged, :"
The agent asks him who will be

SUMMARY OF CROP CONDITION
As Furnished by the United States
Branch Agricultural Depart
ment at Vicksburg

The mean temperature averaged
about five degrees below normal.
Killing frosts were general. On the
25th the minimum temperature was
90 degrees at Port Gibson, &c at Lake
and 81 at Greenwood No rainfall
occurred druiDg the week.
In portions Of the delta and IN
some northern counties many young
cotton bolls have been destroyed by
the killing frosts, but over the great
er portion of the state the crop was
far too far advanced to be m terially
injured; picking continues to make
rapid progress and with favorable
weather conditions will be completed
over the southern half of the state by
November 10th with yield consider
ably below the average; in the delta
and northren counties picking is we'll
advanced with yields below the aver
age.
The gathring of corn and minor
crops il generally in full progress.
Fall crops are almost a failure.
Springs and wells are failing in many
counties, and stock water continues
scarce.

MEASURES TO Be PROPOSED
AT Next Meeting of Legislature
Now Occupying Attention of
Press and Public.
Special to the Daily Progress.


Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Oct g. The press and
the public in Mississippi are occupy ing
its leisure moments discussing the
measures that are likely to be broug
before the legislature at the January
session, and by the time the legisla-
ture assemblies their constituents will
have a fairly good idea of the scope
and extent of many of the proposed
laws.
Even at this early date it is assured
that the session will be a lengthy one,
and there ia no likelihood of an adj
journment before the latter part OF
March il all the measures suggested
are given careful consideration. Fol-
lowing are some of the most impor-
tant bills that have been suggested:
Division of the school funds be-
tween the races.
Uniform school book system.
Establishment of soldiers home.
Bureau of vital statistics and bac-
THEOLOGICAL labratory under supervis-
ion of rhe stateborad Of health.
Division of the primary election
law.
Bureau of agriculture and immigra-
ton.
Erection of new institutions for the
deaf and dumb.
Revision of the prison laws and
establishment Of prison commits zion.
Elective judiciary system.
Disposal Of old state house property.
Increased salaries for several state
officers.
Amendments to the state insurance
laws proposed by Insurance Commits
sioner Cole.
New circuit court district for War.
rem county.
Revision of the road laws.
Constitutional amendment for pro-
hibition and temporary statutory pro-
hibition act.
Many minor measures have also
been suggested. and there are very
few OF the newly elected members
who have not some bill either in pre-
paration or contemplation.
At the last session of the legislature
140 bills were enacted into law, and
perhans four times this number were
introduced IN the two bodies.
Committee work will be greatly
facilitated at the coming session on
aecount of the commodious quarters
for those working bodies in the new
capitol. Heretofore many committees
were compelled to defer their meet
ings until after they could obtain
vacant room in which to meet.

Life Is But a slender Thread.

Yet some men make plans for many
years in the future, not realizing that it
may be their turn next. Other men
stint themselves and their families, de-
priving them of many comforts and
pleasures merely to add few more
dollars to their already we'll filled bank
accounts. Some go through life we'll
able to enjoy every comfort and hap
piness, yet deny themselves all but
the bare, necessities. Be generous and
happy and have those about you en-
JOY life: at the same time you can be
saving and may provide not only for
those dependent upon you, but for your
own old age. The best way to accom-
plish this is to take an adequate amount
of life insurance in the Massachusetts,
Mutual Life Insurance Company Or
ganized 1851. It's policies are plainly
written, easily understood contracts
that provide for paid-up values, cash
surrender values and extended insur-
ance values for every year after the
third. In addition to these it pays
handsome dividends which go a long
way towards reducing the cost every
year, or may be applied to increase the
insurance. There are many features
about Massachusetts Mutual policy
Which it would be well for you to be
informed on before taking your insur-
ance. Full information and interesting
literature sent on application. Write
