HOW VANILLA
IS GROWN

The best variety Of vanilla comes
from vanilla planifolia, which requires
a mucky, porous soil. The plant
thrives up to a height of about 1900
feet above sea level, and as it's f1eshy
roots do not penetrate deep into the
soil it requires only a proportionately
thin layer of soil. The plant bears
merchantable fruit In the third year.

s'PLEASURES OF
COMPARLSOM."

How very much richer the city
of Brownsville will be in Is years
under municipal ownership OF
water-works and electric lights,
than it would have been if the
plants had been built under the
franchise plan last spring!
The city will have fifty fire
hydrants. At the rate charged by
the St. Louis Company under the
franchise granted last spring, of
$4S yer year each, in rs years the
city would have paid 500, 10000.
There will be installed so are
lights under the present plan. At
che rates charged by the St. Louis
company, under the franchise. the
city would have paid $84 each per
year for them. in IS years amount
5ng to sos, 100000.
Total for the two, S123, 900.
Figuring the domestic consump-
tion of water by the people of the
city at an average for the rs years
at 100000 gallons per day, at 80
cents per 1000 gallons under the
franchise price would amount in
IS years to $4,000.
Under municipal ownership, the
city will be able to make rate of
cnly Is cents per 1000 gallons,
thus saving to consumers fully
one-half of the cost under the
plan, amounting to $780,
coo.
Thus by municipal ownership, |
the city will save to itself and the
p eop1e in 25-years, the i'm
uense aggregate of $393,OOO, or
to pay for the plant times
over.

What is a Horse Power.

While the power of one horse is
greater or less than the power of
another yet, in mechanics. the
term horse power" has a defn-
tie meaning. A horse power is de-
dned as $1,000 foot pounds per
minute or $50 foot pounds per
second. This means that if $4,000
pounds is raised 10 feet in one
minute that the work performed
amounts to one horse power.
Likewise, if $50 pounds are raised
one foot IN one second or SIS
pounds are raised 10 feet in one
second it amonts to one horse
power. With this definition it is
easy to calculate the theoretical
horse power" of waterfall, for
since the raising of $50 pounds one
foot in one second amouts to one
horse power it follows that if
$50 pounds of water fall one foot
in one second It's theoretical power
is one horse power. Also, if SIS
pounds af water fall 10 feet in one
second, or if II pounds fall so feet
each second it amounts to one
horse power because IS times 10 or
of IL times so amounts 20 $50. and
$50 foot pounds Cor pounds TIRES
feet) is one horse power. The
horse power of water wheels, Ell
gines and dynamos is based ap-
proximately on the figures given.
1t must be borne in mind, howe
yer, that in estimating the power
of a stream of water that the fig
ures here given represent only the
theoretical power or the power
that the water could exert if it
could be applied without friction
and the full head utilized, neither
of which. things is true in actual
practice -Ex

WHO CAN VOTE?
Attorney General Defines a Qualified
Voter in TomOrOw's
Election.

Are you qualified to vote in to-
morrow's election? A good many
seem to be in doubt as to who has
the right to vote on the bond issue
for waterworks and electric lights.
City Attorney Kibbe, to settle the
matter definitely, wrote to Attorney
General Davidson for instructions
on this point, and received fhe fol-
lowing reply;
In a bond election any voter
who is otherwise qualified to vote,
can vote in such election, if he
owns any kind of property, real,
personal or mixed, subject to taxa
ton in the city.
1t is not necessary that such
persons named appear on the tax
tax roll in order for himto be emit
tied to vote, provided he has prop
erty subject to taxation in the city.
It makes no difference whether
the person owes taxes to the State
or not, if he is a property taxpay-
er, if he has property subject to
taxation, he IS entitled to vote
whether he has paid his taxes or
not.
"a person who owns stock in

What Hattiesburg needs most ls
precisely the want Of every American
municipality which is not yet full
grown The. answer is advertising.
Whatever may be thought Of the
publicity remedy as panacea for po-
litical and Industrial abuses there Is
no doubt that as trade-builder it Is
the absolutely essential thing after
getting store and putting in stock
of goods.
The modern way is to extend the
idea, the use of which has brought
prosperity to the private merchant, and
advertise the city for the benefit Of all
who live in it and do business in it.
| A city that is growing needs to in
crease its growth population,
more money and more enterprises.
These are more readily obtained by
the direct means of asking for them
and making the advantages Of the city
known, far and wide. as merchant
does with mis- bargains.
Hattiesburg is already the best ad-
vertised city in the State Of Missis-
sippi. 1t is the marvel Of all who
have seen fit to enter its gates within
recent years, but the outside world
regards Hattiesburg as the little town
Of 1000 population mentioned in the
last Government census, instead OF
the splendid city Of $4,000 population
into which it has recently oeen deyel
oped
Energy and enterprise, audacity in
advertising push and publicity are
what build up a city in this present
age. The time of competition in which
we still live in spite OF the great
trusts, demands that we do not hide
our light under a bushel.
The growth and progress of Hatties'
burg must not be allowed to lag.

Editor Daily News:
The people in some parts of Hat
tiesburg have already begun to enjoy
some good reading matter through
Young Peoples Home Mission Society
and have thereby been induced to
study the Bible more by having the
right kind of literature. This is en-
couraging and suggests that we need
more books. One cheap book that
costs 80 cents, was read by several
people before it was condemned and
worn out. and while many others say
they have been benefited by it, two
have accepted Christ as their per-
sonal Savior.
1t has already been stated through
the Daily News we have no fight to
make on any denomination. The So
ciety is non-denominational and will
serve as an auxiliary to the various
churches. 1t is willing to cooperate
with anybody that will fight the devil
in the right way.
Today man will call on you for
help to get more books and will en-
deavor to see all citizens, until every
man in town shall have been called
upon.
Your contribution will be thankfully
received and win be used to the very
best advantage.
