PRIZE FOOD
PaIatabIe, Economical, Nourishing.

A Nebr. woman has outlined the
prize food in a few words, and that
from personal experience. She writes:
"After our long experience with
Grape-Nuts, I cannot say enough in its
favor. We have used this food almost
continually for years.
"We sometimes tried other adver
tised breakfast foods but we invariably
returned to Grape-Nuts as the most pal.

NEW RECORDS FOR SAILING
None Other to Compare with Achieve
ment of Our Fleet.

CINCE the tabled cruise of the Ar
- gonauts of old there have been
many famous cruises in history, but
lone that can compare, either in mag
nitude of vessels or in length Of miles,
to the great world cruise just finished
by our fleet.
When Admiral Rojestvensky took
his doomed ships from the Baltic to
the Sea of Japan, this was heralded
to all the world as the greatest armed
cruise In history, and so it was up
to that time. Yet apart from the sim
gular fact that these Russian fighting
ships were foredoomed to disaster,
what a miserable achievement it was
as compared to the magnificent, resist
less, onward sweep Of our own fight.

Russian fleet was attended by mis-

Appointment May Come Soon.

While no official information has been
given out from the executive office. there
is a general impression around the cap
itol that Gov. Noel will announce next
week the appointment of a Supreme
Court justice for the mime years term
beginning on May 10, when Justice Cal
houn's term would have expired, this un-
expired term now being filed by Justice
r. v. Fletcher since the death of Judge
Calhoun.

asailormen selected from the division.
The cruise has been q practice trip
throughout, but 1t remained for the
final lap to institute the maneuvers
and tests planned. The intention was
to give the vessels the severest trials
at the finish of their long journey, in
order that any defects in them might
be demonstrated.
In addition to the 16 battleships that
composed the fleet, there were : the
Yankton and Panther, two storeships,
and two Golfers. These were started
ahead from Gibraltar. Before they
had negotiated much of the distance
westward across the Atlantic they
were met by the welcoming fleet sent
out from the United States. This
consisted of the battleships Maine,
New Hampshire, Idaho and Missis-
;sippi, the armored cruisers Montana
and North Carolina, and the scout
cruisers Salem, Birmingham and Ches-
ter. When they joined the others it
made a fleet Of 20 battleships, five
powerful cruisers and two smaller
fighting craft. AS o as the war
ships were assembled the real work
OF the homeward cruise was under
taken. Admiral Sperry had framed
an elaborate program, in which all the
vessels took part.
While TIE feet, or the main body Of
1t, logged along at a pace that brought
st into Hampton Roads February %,
the individual ships were put through
speed trials and endurance tests.
Ships of similar class raced to deter
mine individual excellency. while bat
tleships of different designs were test
ed one against the other to determine
the superiority Of style.
There were also races between
squadrons, and battle maneuvers, in
which squadrons and divisions partfci-

| should start for it's practice cruise
to the Pacific from Hampton roads, all
the European naval experts on the
continent permitted themselves to
doubt whether Jul ships could ever be
got ready in time, and whether the
long cruise could ever be accom-
plished without serious disasters. But
every English speaking sailorman
knew in his heart that the great feet
would be all ready and would start
exactly on time, to the minute, as it did.
Had Confidence In Fleet.
What is more, we all knew that the
great fleet would swing around the
world, looking in at the Hawaiian is
lands, the Philippines, into China and
Japan, and back again without the
slightest shade of doubt in the soul
of any American that the feet would
always acquit itself well and achieve
what 1t set out to do.
This, indeed, Is the great thing that
has been accomplished by the feet.
For the first time in history the Pa
cifc ocean has been put into commits
sion. This is q great fact, a great
achievement, the results of which can
never be changed or lost. Henceforth
in the worlds history the Pacific
ocean, which first came into interna-
tional prominence only with Dewey's
great victory In Manila bay and the
Japanese victories in their OWE wa
ters, will loom up in historical impor-
lance as did the Mediterranean before
Columbus great cruise opened up the
Atlantic"
A better result even than this en-
viable achievement during the fleets
world cruise, perhaps, is the moral i'm
preston made upon the world at
large by the majestic appearance and
efficiency of our ships while under the
eyes Of foreign observers.

Who Made the Change?

At the ensuing term of the Circuit
Court for Kinds County, the matter Of
the change in a certain statute relative
to privilege taxes on insurance com
panies for levee district purposes, made
evidently with fraudulent intent by som
one interested, will be committed to the
grand jury by Judge Potter. The men
who can be relied o N to give testimony
in this case will be duly subpoenaed,
though it is understood that two of
these, Secretary of State Power and
Representative Adair of Sunfower Coun.
ty, will attend, and without the for.
mality of a subpoena. The matter has
been referred to District Attorney Nc
Neill by Gov. Noel, and all the papers
and documents bearing on the subject
will be entrusted to him, with the re-
quest that the transaction be thoroughly
investigated.

Many Oil Mills Close.

Eighty per cent. of the cotton oil mills
in Mississippi have closed down for the
season and the remainder will finish their
runs by the middle of March. The crush
ing season of 10000 has been an un-
usually short one, but when the figures
are all in it will doubtless show that
it has been the most profitable season in
several years. The success Of the crush
ing season has been largely due to the
splendid quality of seed, enabling all
mills to manufacture prime oil. The
market, generally speaking, has held up
well.

One afternoon l overheard my two

Dick, who was much smaller than
Margaret, believed all she said about

"The time has come when we should
boast less Of our liberties and think more
of our laws; when we should talk less
of uur rights and ponder more u duties.
Our legislators have made for us wise
laws in the effort to protect and preserve
our people from the crimes that debauch
manhood or %impoverish and destroy our
homes. 1t remains to be seen if the peo-
pie have the courage and determination
to see that their laws are not defed and
trampled upon with %impunity." This is
a significant passage in the open address
prepared by the Hon. C. H. Alexander
for the committee appointed by ex-Gov.
Longino as the opening wedge to the
organization of a statewide law enforce
ment league, and which was submitted
to and approved by a public meeting

all kinds. Even after the Russian
ships had at last got out into the open
sea after their ludicrous battle with
the British trawlers on the Dogger
banks they had to put into every neu.
trail port along the way for coal and
provisions, only to be humored OF or
dered out again, according to the good
will Of the various port authorities.
Then nearly six months had to be
spent at Madagascar in reitting, yet
during all that time, so Admiral Ro-
jestvensky's second in command has
testified, none of the crews Of any of
the Russian war ships was drilled in
target practice.
In short, nothing could be more DIFF
ferent than this sad record Of the Rus
sian feet commanders while steaming
around Africa and up. into the China
seas and our own proud record while
our 16 battleships, two cruisers, six
torpedo boats and an auxiliary fleet
of supply ships and GOLFERS steamed
around the world.
Significant Historical Fact.
To the historian it cannot but ap-
pear as a significant thing that all
other previous great cruises in his
tory, with the exception OF those I'm.
dertaken by English-speaking sailors,
have only resulted in disaster and
shame. There was the great cruise
of the Spanish armada, for instance,
launched against England by Philip II
Of Spain, which ended in such utter
rout and disaster.
About the same time In the far east
the Japanese conqueror, Hideyeshi, UNI
dertook to subjugate Korea and China
with a formidable fleet Of some $50
war junks, many Of them armed with
brass cannon, yet his feet, too, vas
overcome in fair fight by the COM
bined war fleets Of China and Korea.

"that the great majority of our farmers

Corn Clubs to Exhibit.

There is no doubt that at the 1909
state fair the management will be put
to it in order to make room for all the
exhibits from the corn clubs. On the
.supposition that of the forty counties
now organized so per cent. will be repre-
scented at the state fair, it is easy to
figure out that the space necessary will
be larger than that devoted to any one
line outside of machinery and live stock.
The department. of agriculture is endeav-
oring to get the names and addresses of
the corn club boys and the culture club
girls, in order that literature that will be
interesting and helpful may be sent to
them.

More Blacks than Whites.

More Blacks than Whites.
A compilation of the polls assessed in
1908 shows some interesting and sug-
g~estive figures. The figures show that
there are forty-three counties. in which
the white polls are in excess, to thirty
five Of those in which the blacks pre-
dominate, though the preponderance of
blacks is all of the delta and the west
ern part of the state and in the counties
in which the larger municipalities and
the industrial plants are located is rather
greater in ratio than that of the whites
in the white sections. In the total num-
Der of polls assessed, Kinds leads with
14,304, while Pearl River brings up the
tail end with a total Of 1860, and al
though small as the number is, the
whites just doubling the blacks, with
three to spare. The same coincidence of
juxtaposition in figures occurs in regard
to the poll figures for the counties of
Issaquena and Itawamba, the white polls
in the little delta county numbering
172, while the blacks number 1881, the
proportion of excess being 1885 per cent.
Itawamba, on the other hand, has a
white poll assessment of 1896, to 1874
of the blacks, or a ratio of 1903 per
cent. The county having the highest
number of black polls is Washington,
with its excess of 9,45S, while Prentiss
has the largest white excess, or 4,022,
the ratio of blacks to the whites in
Washington is 5.12 per cent, while that
of whites to blacks in Prentiss is $50
per cent. in excess.

Demands Pay for Dirt.
A very unique feature of the cele-
brated sixteenth section litigation is in
volved in the claim recently filed by

turer at Hattiesburg. Mr.. Crymes, it
appears, is the lessee of a portion of a
sixteenth section tract located about a
mile and a half from Hattiesburg, and
the revenue agent seeks to recover from
him damages in the sum of $4,000 for
dirt removed from the tract and used in
the manufacture of brick. The revenue
agent believes that the removal of dirt
from a sixteenth section tract is also
prohibited; that, in fact, it is worse han

contended that the removal of the dirt
