The baseball followers of Poly should
turn out generously to cheer their team

helping to win a league pennant.

Los Angeles high school athletes are
regularly attending the swimming
classes which are being held at Bimini

Is a half squeeze play, and is only

The situation comes up frequently in
baseball and McGraw has been trying
to solve a way out of the difficulty
without taking the chance OF having
the side retired on long flies and no
runs scored. At a given signal from
the coaching line the man starts from
second as If to steal third. The batter
then hits the ball light blow, SO as to
turn it into half bunt which rolls
directly between short and third. The
third baseman naturally runs to cover
the bag on the steal, and the ball, nine
times out of ten, will go through the
hole that he has left.

TO BE SUBMITTED

The national house of repre-
senatives on Monday passed the
senate joint resolution submitting
to the state the question OF
amending the constitution so as
to permit the taxing of incomes.
The resolution was passed by the
decisive vote of 317 votes in fav-
or of the resolution to IA against
it. The solid democratic vote
was cast for the resolution.
The passage of the measure is
a triumph for the democracy, the
Party in three successive nation
al conventions having inserted a
plank in favor of taxing incomes.
The question will now be submit
ted to the state for ratification
or rejection, two thirds being
necessary to carry, 1t has al
ways been a hard problem to
get at the boarded money of the
rich to place upon 1t its just pro-
portion of taxation. Men of
great wealth make their invest
ments to escape taxation and u.s.
ually select exempted bonds and
other investments that cannot be
located by the tax assessor. The
purpose of the resolution is to
give the state an opportunity
through their representatives to
pass on the measure, and say
whether the income5 thus dariv
ed shall be taxed or not. If the
vote in the congress can be TAX
en- as an index to the sentiment
of the country at large the meas
ure will receive the necessary
two thirds vote when submitted.

APPALLING FACTS.

The health authorities of Wash
ington, d. C. are making a fierce
fglt on the so.called harmless
flea, 1t has been brought to light
that the common rat heas COM
mon in England and America
are distributors of the death
germ, known in many lands as
the black death. The disease has
spread in foreign countries, and
has at last crossed to this side,
and if not prevented in time,
may be the cause Of thousands
of deaths. 1t will be remember
ed that several years ago the
death plague was on in India
where thousands of inhabitants
were literally swept from the
earth. England at one time lost
nearly half her population from
it. and now America is threaten
ed by the appearance on this side
of the little pest.
While the flea in itself is very
harmless, they live upon the
blood Of rats, which have in their
system the poison which is car
ried to man Unless they get at
least one full meal of blood a
week they will die. After a flea
has sucked the blood Of a rat it
crawls into a hole or crevice and
awaits the coming of some other
animal, and if it should be a man
he promptly takes up his abode
upon his person regardless of his
wishes.
While it would be a useless
task to try and kill out the feas,
there are means Of getting rid of
the greater part of them by go
ing at it in the proper method.
A flea has been tested with the

IN it every morning until the last
aea had died, which was about
twenty days.on the fifth day new

placed over the jar, the fleas
could bite the rat through it cas-

was dead. It seems now that
the only means to get about the

to kill the rats, as the f1eas are
harmless unless having fed on an

A STATE

Senator James r. Mcdowell, of
Kinds county, will introduce at
the next session Of the MisSiS-
sippi legislature a bill to estab-
lish a state reformatory for boys.
Senator Mcdowell is a young
man of energy and pers;stenty
and if the bill can be pushed
through he will secure it's pas
sage. Bills proposing the estab-
lishment of a reformatory for
boys have been introduced in the
legislature before, but so far
have met defeat. A reformatory
bill should be enacted, and if
carefully drawn we believe the
next legislature will give such a
bill favorable consideration. =
Greenville Democrat.
The state undoubtedly needs
such an institution. Unless they
mend their ways very much
Brookhaven will be ready to con-
tribute several inmates to a state
reformatory as soon as it opens
for business. -Brookhaven Lead
er.
We suppose every town could
furnish a few boys for a reform
atory school who would be better
off there than tt ey would be at
home. This l. the fault Of the
parents and not the boys. We
have some in Tupelo who are not
controlled and will get worse as
they grow older. If they land
in a roformatory it will be the
fault Of the parent and not the
boy, This is the case in ninety
nine cases out Of every one hum
bred.
But the boys and young men Of
this town, and we can include
Lee county generally, are a civil
set and demean themselves as
young gentlemen should. It is
very rare indeed that you find
them infracting the law, and
each year the court records show
