MISSISSIPPI IS
NOW GETTING HERS
Heat Wave Is Central Today over
Mississippi and Louisiana and Is
Travelling Southwark.

NEW ORLEANS, August 19.-With
a path of death in its wake the heat
wave which has been sweeping south
ward across the country during the
last few days is today central over
the lower Mississippi VALLEY. The high
temperatures which prevailed yester
day throughout this section now ap-
pear to have been but the forerunners
of a hot blast which today prostrated
hundreds of people in the gulf states
and worked untold damSgS in many
other ways While towns and cities
in Northern Louisiana and Arkansas
report a drop in the temperature, there
has been a corresponding rise in those
sections lying to the southwest Of the
country which experienced such in
tense heat twenty-four hours ago. At
Baton Rouge the heat wave has run
the mercury up to 40 degrees mark
and work on the mammoth Standard
Oil plant under construction at that
place has been interfered with by
prostrations among the laborers. In
Southern Mississippi man.p towns re
port temperatures RANGING from 100
to 10 degrees and here and there
saw mill towns and other centers have
been paralyzed by the hot weather
Scattered showers today proved OF
great relief in many Of the interior
towns and breezes from the gulf off,
set the heat wave somewhat along tho
coast.

SECRET ORDERS
IN HA1TNSBURG

Very few, if any, of the cities of our
state are better represented in the Sc
cret order world than Hatiesburg
There was a time when in all the
country there was very serious ob
lection to any secret order; that day
has passed in Hattiesburg at least Tor
every lodge reports continual
growth.
Hattiesburg Lodge 1877 of the Inde-
pendent Order of Odd Fellows has a
membership of over two hundred, and
is initiating members every night that
they have a meeting and is one Of the
best attended lodges of this order in
the state.
The Rebebah lodge, better known as
the woman's branch of odd Fellows
has a membership of at least seventy
five, and the members are so enthus.
iastic over the work of this branch
that in the near future they intend
to organize a degree team.
The Encampment Degree Of this or
der has a membership of about 100,
and is gaining strength every day.
The attendance is considered the
best Of any lodge in the state.
The Canton and highest degree 10
which any Odd Fellow may attain has
lately been organized here with
membership of about twenty-five, ana
by the end of the year the member
ship is hoped to reach at least 100.
The w. o. w. have two lodges Yere,
both in a flourishing condition, No.
% has a membership of 430 and is
growing all the time. During tho last
month they have initiated about 70 or
IA. The average attendance is fine
No. 449 Of the same order, while not
quite so strong is in a flourishing con.
dition. From a membership of GO at
it's organization it has grown to over
100 and has not had a death claim to
pay since it's organization.
The Woodmen of the World are OH
the upward move in our near BY towns,
from the accounts that come to us
from these places. The work for the
most part is being done by Deputy Or
ganizer w. B. Russell.
On the night of the 18th he orEanize1
a lodge of thirty members at Cots
wood, and only few days later went
out to Sumrall and initiated a class
of twenty-five for that lodge.
The Knights of Pythias have been
on the upward move for tho past few
months and every night somo one is
into the mysteries of this
order. They have a membership over
a hundred strong and fine attend
ance at every meeting.

precating the growing expenditures
which the United States is ineurring
in connection with the maintenance of
the army and navy and declaring that
the grain and cotton fields of the Mis-
sissippi valley and the West are
stronger military defenses than war

executive committee of the Chicago,

pany, delivered an address here yes
terday before the Farmers Union Of
Oklahoma. EE TNr
Mr. Yoakum's subject was "The
Farmer and the Railroad"
He strongly advocated good roads
as a means of bringing the carrier and
the producer closer together. -
Mr. Yoakum said:
The farmers and the railroads are
natural partners The first thing IN
quired about by an investor in new
railroad securities is the character of
the country which the road will serve.
If it can be shown that the territory
to be served by the new railroad is a
good farming country, the greatest
trouble in finding the money to build
has been overcome. On the other
hand the first question a farmer seek
ing a location in a new country asks
is, What are its railroad facilities?'
The farmer must have the railroad
and the railroad must have the farm
et
Should Get Together.
The things most needed by the
farmer and the railroad, but which
are neglected 10 the detriment of
both, are a better acquaintance and
loser working relations. These NUT
lal benefits can be attained through
lie officers of the Farmers Union,
the producers, and the
'fficers Of The railroads, representing
he carriers. dealing directly with each
lthef.

My way 10 accomplish good results.
his is a nation of organized interests,
nd under proper management the

When your products leave you, they
re taken by the railroads, which are
rganized. They then go to the manu-
lcturers, who are organized, and
hen they reach you again as a fin
she'd product they come from mer-
antile organizations. The producers

BUSINESS FOR
The BOY
Poultry raising is easy and profitable
if painstaking care is exercised.

! The best business of all for a boy
with small capital is the poultry bust
ness, for on most farms the poultry
business is not developed to its full
capacity and parents will generally
gladly give over the care and profits
to the boys.
Purchase about six good hens. all
of one breed, and then buy fine
rooster of the same breed, and then
build them a house and yard and go
into business.
For a house a piano box will do
very well the first year and can be
made to accommodate six hens and a
rooster very comfortably after the
cold weather is over.
After you get your poultry plant
established, keep close watch of your
hens Find which ones lay the most
eggs and from those hens save eggs
for setting purposes. Then if none Of
the hens are broody buy one and
move her in the night to some nest in
a box or a barrel, and after she has
become puited down place the eggs
under her and get her started to set
ting
In selecting the eggs to place under
her discard all those that are not nice
ly shaped and all that are more than
week old or that may have become
chilled.
When you set a hen it is best to fix
the box or barrel so that she can leave
the nest only when you let her out to
eat She should he let out once a day
and be allowed to dust herself, pick
mp a little crit and gravel and have
a good feeding of heat-producing food /

There was a very interesting meet
ing Of the Commercial Club at the Aud
itorium last night, forsthe purpose Of
discussing railway rates. The first
matter considered was the proposed
reduction in cotton rates which the
state commission will consider on Sep
tember Z. Mr.. r. d. Reeves, of the
Mississippi Central, was present and
explained the effect the rates would
have on the revenues of their road
and he also showed the injury that
he thought it would do to Hattiesburg,
After a discussion of the question, it
was on motion, referred to the direc-
tors of the club to take such action
as might be deemed necessary before
the commission at its meeting on the
7th of September. The general opin-
ion seemed to be that while the Hat
tiesburg Commercial Club is opposed
to any disturbance of rates at the
present time and is especially anxious
to encourage capital, and give sta
bility to vested interests, the present
situation is one to call for discretion,
as it would seem that the roads have
a remedy at law if the rates should he
unjust or confiscatory The improve
ment of Leaf river was next consld-
cred and the necessity of providing
facts and figures to show what saving
would result to Hattiesburg and the
adjacent territory, in case the river
can be made navigable for practical
purposes. On motion President Jack
son appointed a committee Of three TO
collect the statistics and to arrange
for them. The committee is " NJ
Seaman, NJ. c. Field and NJ. L. Blk
ler
Mr.. Herman Katz, reported to the
club from the Merchants Association
saying that they were ready to CO.
operate with the Commercial Club IN
any organized effort it might make to
secure just rates for Hatiesburg and
if necessary they would agree to
route every pound Of freight over one
road. He also asked the club to CO.
operate with the association to aDol'
ish the "Grab Car of the Northeast
ern railway, which was depriving the
merchants who patronized that road
of business to which they were en-
titled. In other words the Merchants
Association thinks that the railroads
should stick to the transportation DuS-
mess and let the merchants have
chance to make living out of their
business.
One of the most important incl
dents of the meeting was an address
bv Mr.. V. NJ. Scan1an, on the subject
of Building a City" Mr.. Scanlan has
been chairman of the freight rate
committee for a number of years ana
is qualified to talk about the import
ance of freight rates, in the building
of a city and his address when we
publish in full, illustrates the handi-
caps under which we labor and points
out the necessity of unity OF action
on the part of the whole business
forces of the city to bring about an ao-
iustment Of rates that will put Hatties-
burg on a parity with other cities IN
the state of like Importance On mo-
tion Mr.. Scanlan was thanked for MS
address and it was ordered published.
