FARMERS FAVOR WHEAT.

The high price of flour has put
Mississippi farmers DIN the notion OF
and raising wheat, and the
chances are that more OF that great
cereal will be planted next fail than
ina any one year since before the
war between the states, when
wheat was a staple crop ON most
farms 6n this section and flour mills
were to be found in every neighbor-
hood where there was good water
power. Now there lis not one. In
one mail last week the commissioners
OF agriculture received three letters
making inqniry as to, where goodseed
wheat could be had, and these three
letters came from as many points OF
the compass, thus showing that IN

PUBLIC AND PRIVATE HANGINes

What good is accomplished by a
public hanging which lis not accom-
plished by a private hanging? For
it's effect on the negro population
there is no comparison between the
two. The negro publicly hanged is
often looked upon, by some of the
members of his race, as a martyr
and a hero. Many a negro would
be willing to be hanged if he could
have his exit from this life witness
ed by four Thousand persons. The
private hanging with its solemnity
and attendant mystery has more ter
rors for the negro mind.
A public hanging brutalizes amy
community in which it takes place.
Years ago irl England such hangings
were gala events. The day was a
big one. Persons came from miles
around and brought their dinners
with them. Dancing and other fes-
tivities were indulged i'm. Mem whet-
ted their appetites for blood and cried
aloud for more hangings. Whole
communities were demoralized and
crime became rampant. Conditions
became so bad that public hangings
were abolished and no one would ev-
er think of returning to them.
Let's have no more public hang
ings i'm Mississippi, but if we have
to have them the women and chill
dren should be kept away.-Vicks-

lege Of chewing mescal beans which

The noble red men, however, indig-

that It is q part Of the Winnebago re-

hold direct communication with the
Great Spirit.

CITY RUNS A PUBLIC BAKERY
Budapest to Have Plant Capable Of
Producing $4,000 Pounds Of
Bread Daily.

The city Of Budapest In order tc
furnish good bread to the public at a
cheap price has decided to establish a
municipal bakery capable of produc.
ing $4,000 pounds Of bread daily.
This will be q public enterprise and
10 meant by competition to compel the
general production of bread equally
good and equally cheap-prices being
based upon the actual price OF wheat
and flour-as that furnished by the
municipality.
This bakery will be a model one.
Modern machinery will be used and
all immediate contact by the workmen
with the bread will be avoided. Be-
sides this the burgomaster says, the
bakery BY the wholesale purchase of
flour and other articles of production
will tend to reduce the price.
The expense Of building this munic-
ipal bakery will be $125,00O, not in
Guiding the value of the site. The
rooms for preparing the dough, the
baking rooms and the bread maya.
zines are all spacious and we'll lighted.
Near by are two groups Of buildings,
one containing the engine house, the
electrical plant and places for storing
and preparing potatoes, the Hun
garian public being fond of bread
made Of wheat mixed with potatoes,
and the other consisting of stables
and coach houses.
The bread will be sold partly in spe-
cial shops belonging to the municipal
ity and partly by private provision
merchants at a price fixed by the
municipality.

HUMAN BODY AS TELEPHONE
German Scientist Sees Great Possible.
ties In Experiments He Has
Been Conducting.

The human telephone is at once
the newest and the oldest form of tele-
phony. Some years ago it was shown
that It was possible to charge the hui
man body with tremendously high
alternating currents of electricity. And
It is well known that the body has
been used as an electric battery for
many experiments.
It ls now suggested by one DR.. Die
der Of Steglits that by charging the
body with these rapidly alternating
impulses the drum Of the ear can be
made to respond to their action and
Vibrate 90 as to hear the current. The
ear wouldsthen become a kind Of tele-
phone disk and would be aware of
changes In the intensity Of the cur
rent. II is necessary simply to press
against the ear the outer metallic
seating Of q Leyden Jar whose inner
seating is connected with one pole of
an Induction coil and to grasp the op-
posite pole with one hand.
Rieder thinks 1t is not impossible to
perfect this arrangement so that It
win transmit speech telephonically.
It Is thought that deaf people might
be sensitive to the device. AS DR..
Rleder finds that there Is feeling of
oppression in the ear for several
hours after such experiments, the au-
ditive organs must be acted upon in
quite a different way from that Of an
ordinary telephone.
