Ways and means to prosecute the
thirty-two Washington ice cream deal
ers charged by the Health Depart
ment with selling impure ice cream,
are to be considered in conference
between Acting Secretary OF Agricul-
ture Hayes and L. F. Kebler, acting
chief Of the Bureau of Chemistry.
Officers of the Department OF Agrl-
culture are disposed at present to be-
lieve that the thirty-two samples OF
ice cream collected and analyzed by
the health officer of the district, and
offered by him as evidence for the
prosecution of the dealers, were not
obtained according to the regulations
of the pure food law, and that here
fore prior to a prosecution by the
department new samples will have 70

a prosecution can be based on the ev-
idence collected by the health officer,
The issue will be submitted to the
Attorney General of the United States

The Marriage Annulled.

Paris.-The marriage Of Prince Rob

the divorced wife of Sydney B. Veit,
which occurred at Chicago last sum-
mer was annulled by the French court.
The court also forbade 'Mme Alex.
ander" to use the name of De Bro

The suit for the annullment of the
marriage was brought by the father
of Prince Robert. Prince Amadee de
Broglie. At the hearing counsel for
the defense admitted that the Chicago
marriage was in contravention to the
French law, and asked for immediate
Judgment in order that the couple
might be legally united in marriage

Needs of the Army.

"There is something wrong with the
army" said Gen. Bell, chief of staff
in Western speech recently, and
that statement is being echoed in va
rious bureaus Of the War Depart
ment. There are different explana-
tions advanced for that disquiet-
ing criticism, but the weight of opin
ion at the War Department is that
Secretary Taft summed up the case
when he remarked that the trouble
with the army was that there was not
enough Of it. The general staff has
been compiling some tables that bear
out this statement, and these will be
made the basis for strong presenta-
tion of the needs Of the army to Con-
gress at the next session.
For instance, here is company of
coast artillery by regulations required
to number los men, which, accord,
ing to the last return to the depart
ment, muster Just eight enlisted pri-
Yates in its ranks. OF course, com
pany drill with such a skeleton organ
ization is impossible. And this IS
only one Of number Of such organi-
cations.
According to the statement the men
will not re-enlist at he expiration Of
the first term Of their service. Wages
outside the army are so much high
er that they attract the most ener-
getic soldiers in private life. Never
before have the recruiting officers
found their work so hard and unprof-
table.
A special reason for the refusal Of
the work.
A coast artillerymen to re-enlist is
that they are obliged to do large
amount of mechanical work in caring
for the complicated Notifications,
dressed only in working overalls or
jumpers and getting few opportunities
to wear their soldiers uniforms,
which is one source Of pride with
them a factor in attracting them
into the army.
The staff is trying hard to find
corrective measures, but some meas
ures will require legislation to make
them effective.

Japan viii Rule Corea.

When the Japanese government
last year took over the direction OF
the foreign relations of Corea, officials
notice of that fact to the Washing
ton government was followed by the
immediate withdrawal from this capl-
tai Of the Corean Legation. The &C.
casion was rather pathetic when thu
retiring Charge called upon Secretary
Root, at the State Department, and
notified him that he had been di-
rected to turn over the conduct of the
business of his legation to the ia
panese Embassy here.
1t was realized then that this was
probably the beginning of the end
Of the Corean independence and thas
the control by the japanese of the
foreign relations of Corea would, in
the not distant future, broaden into
complete domination of the hermit
kingdom. With the closing of that
Legation disappeared all place OF
resident Coreans of the official class
in Washington. The japanese Embas-
sy is not very we'll informed as !n'
what is taking place at home in re.
gard to Corea, so that altogether
there is lack of official information as
to these recent and sudden devel-
opments.
The understanding here that the
Corean Premier, in demanding the
abdication of the Emperor, was, OF
course, acting under pressure from
Japan and that Japan in turn found
legal warrant for such action in the
fact that through the dispatch of tho
Corean delegation to The Hague Con-
ference the Emperor of Corea had
violated that part of the agreement
entered into by his Ministers, unde,
which Japan was too absolutely con'
troll the international relations.

selling railroad tickets at rate in
excess of that provided by the. re-

He directed that the execution be IS

the payment of the fine imposed and
thatt the papers be placed in the
hands of the sheriff for execution.

Several hundred angry Italians sur
rounded the Monetelon house and a
guard of twenty policemen fail
ed to quell the crowd. The Monetc-

on and taken to a nearby police sta
ton. During the excitement Peter La

Hon. Walter Clarke, president Of
the Mississippi Division Of the South
ern Cotton Association has just re-
turned from a two months stay in
Europe where he has been making i
thorough investigation of the cotton
industry with special relation to the
needs of the planters in preparing it
for shipment and better methods in
general. Mr.. Clarke nnds that there
is strong sentiment against Ameri-
can cotton from the fact that it is
poorly baled and usually arrives at
It's foreign destination in a bad con-
dition. That the laborers who handle
it over there do so in a rough manner
and give as their reason that the
people over here do not care anything
for it and why should they. The Unit
ed States government has published
a great deal along this score and urg-
ed our planters to adopt better meth
DDS, but seemingly with but little
effect. The advance in price paid
would no doubt more than balance
the additional cost of baling for ex-
port. Mr.. Clarke will make a tour
of Mississippi in behalf Of move
ment for better baling and it is to be
hoped that he will meet with a hear
ty reception and that plans for i'm
provement will be evolved. 1t is an
important matter deserving tie care

terested in the south's great money

1t is refreshing to receive n letter
endorsing this department and the
work that is being attempted and al
the same time something of interest
and value to the thousands who read
it each week. 7. w. Barron of Alon-

his mite in the way of experience,
Mr.. Barron says that he bought 40
cents worth of tomato seed in the
spring and set one-fourth of an acre
with the plants, numbering about one
thousand. From this piece of ground
forty two crates were sold that
brought $4493. After taking off the
tomatoes the ground was planted in
potatoes and it is anticipated that
good crop of these will be gathered
This is valuable experience from
q man who has actually performed
this feat during the year is worth
much more than a theory would be.

as Mr.. Barron has done and let it be

and how it was done.

Crop respects are still very poor il
Mississippi despite the recent week;
of favorable weather. True it is, that
cotton is doing finely, but the prin
cipal trouble lies in the fact that i!
is thirty days late and an unusually
late fall will be necessary to make
anything like a medium crop. The
report from the State Department Of
Agriculture was only 63 per cent. as
to condition on July 1st as against
81 per cent of the United States De-
partment. This report was made by
the supervisors in regular meeting
and was undoubtedly approximately
correct. The crop is necessarily short
and the price that it will command
should be unusually good.

The number Of horses as reported
in Mississippi on the 1st of January
last year was 254,748, mules, 326, 6,4O5
sheep, 192,926. 1t is believed that
these figures, which are largely esti-
mates, are too low and that when the
statistics being collected for this year
are made public, the number will be
largely exceeded.
The Kemper herald. (Scooba, Miss.) 1875-1908, 1907-07-25

Gradually the stock raising inter
est of Mississippi is increasing, but
then not nearly so fast as it should.
Conditions are especially favorable
for stock raising as has been proven
on many occasions. AS an example,
the Examiner at Aberdeen says that
Hon. Walter Heard at West Point,
has not bought horse in the past
twenty years and always has plenty
of good stock on hand. Moreover, dur
ing this time he has sold considera-
BILE number of horses to his less for
tunate neighbors and always keeps
what he needs at home. 1t is also
stated that he does not feed grain,
but keeps his stock fat on alfalfa
and other hay crops. At any rate, this
is another evidence that Mississippi
can and should raise horses and also
mules, not only enough for home COR
sumption, but surplus for her less
fortunate neighbors.
