JACKSON, Miss, September IL
President G. R. Hightower, of the
Mississippi division of the Farmers
Union, has issued an address to the
membership setting forth plans for
the cotton holding movement, and
urging cooperation among members
to make the plan complete success.
In part he says:
Our members in each county
should talk to the business men and
show them the advantages of selling
cotton through the Farmers Ware
house Company. 1t is for the good
of the farmer, it is for the good Of
the business man. OF course, the
handling of their business will help
our business.

Dandruff is caused by germs, fact
accepted by all physicians.
Dandruff is the root of all hair
evils. If it were not for the little
destructive germs working with per-
sistency worthy of a better cause,
there would be no badness.
Partisan Sage will kill the dandruff
germs and remove dandruff in two

Hays & Field guarantee it. It will

make the hair grow thick and abund-

QUARANTINE STATION

The fire tests of various building
materials conducted by the U. s.
Geological Survey corroborate those
conducted by the Survey some years
ago. These tests show that the only
competitor concrete has in the way of
a firs-resisting material is brick, and
even bricks efficiency as applied to
building construction must depend up
on sound Portland cement mortar
says Cement Age. In other words, a
brick, considered as a clay unit, is
not prone to disintegrate under eX-
IRENE heat, but even with that fact es-
tablished, or admitting for arguments
sake that brick IS infinitely superior
to concrete, there would still be no
occasion to fear serious competition
on that score. Concrete lends itself
to fireproof construction in many
ways that make it more desirable than
brick from both mechanical and eco
nomical standpoints, as, for example,
in the construction of columns,
beams, floors, etc. In an ordinary fire
of conflagration concrete offers super
Tor advantages from the standpoint of
slow heat penetration and protection
to the vital parts of structure.
When it comes to the matter of cheap
repairs no material compares with

The Tradesman this week states

Is coming into this section from its
agricultural interests than had been
anticipated. In the farming districts
there is a decided movement toward
securing the best modern implements,
especially such as will save labor and
at the same time expedite operations
in planting and cultivating and har-
vesting. The Southern farmers are
better able to make such investments
than they ever were before, and the
trade is reaping the benefits of these
improved conditions. In cane and cot
ton harvesting machinery it is es
pecially noticeable that there is great
improvement in the methods of hand
ling the crops, and manufacturers
are finding that nothing they offer is
any too good for the modern agri-
culturist in the South. But it must
be effective and practical in order to
meet with the approval of the farmers
who, through their various organiza-
tons are esnecial1y we'll euuiDned IN
select the best in their line. The gen.
eral hardware trade is brisk, and it is
felt that there is lively season ahead
until after the holidays, at least.

The Shin subsidy Bill.

During January thirty-nine vessels
were built in the United States. Their
total tonnage of 1874 tons must be
credited more than one-half to one
craft. so the shipbuilding industry may
be said to have reached the rock bot
tom of depression.
There is some doubt whether the en-
tire output during the fiscal year which
will end July /, 1909, will see 10000
tons added to our merchant navy.
When the tariff is under consideration
this should be carefully gone into, be-
cause high protective duties are to
blame for the destruction of this once
great industry.
The British shipbuilder, with raw
material at rational prices. can build
ships for so much less cost than they
can be built here, that it does not pay
to build American ships. Our vast ex-
port and import trade is carried in for
eign bottoms. The sums we pay in
freight fill the pockets of foreign ship
owners, and the American merchant
marine is disappearing from the sea.
The ship subsidy scheme is an at
tempt to mulct the taxpayers of the
United States for the encouragement Of
an industry that has been destroyed
to pile up PROFITS for our steel kings,
and should not be tolerated.
The proper remedy is in abolition Of
tariffs which shut out cheap raw ma
terial. close the gates Of our ship yards
and throw thousands of our ship
wrights out of work. Action must be
taken at once or a few more years
without shipbuilding win find the coun-
try without shipbuilders.

bitive duties, anything and everything
that can be made in this country by

They have made a spectacular show
of changing the old law here and there,
but in nearly every essential item the
return always is to Dingley. In re-
spouse to a great outcry against the
Payne increase of the tax on such ne
cessities as gloves and hosiery, the Sen
ate graciously proposes to. retain the
highly protective Dingley rates. Payne
kept the Dingley rates on wines and
liquors The Senate appeals to a pop
ular sentiment by raising them. The
proposed increase from IS a dozen on
champaign to $3.50 will certainly cause
no grumBling among the champagne
makers of New York State.
We might get little more revenue
out Of the proposed Senate tax of 30
per cent on foreign-built yachts and of
% per cent on bologna sausage, but ex-
eept in trifies of this sort there is moth
ing in either the Payne bill or in the
proposed Senate amendments that
would supply the needed revenue or
tighten the tariff burden upon the peo-
