 .'rhere are Irish, Italian and Por- tuguese that present the same race problem to that part of the country that the negroes do to the Souh.
 Of President Eliot, Miss Conway said today. Tt Is not such type of man who promotes peace and good will schemes for betterment, educational and otherwise. are not to be accepted without close scrutiny

those present promised to cultivate several acres upon the plan.
 That the farmers of Dallas County were interested in the Williamson method of corn-raising was evident by the large number who thronged the court room. In the section of the court room reserved for the white peo- pie there was hardly vacant seat. and in the section for the negro farm CTS, there were a great number of these present. There was also a large number of business men in attend ance.
 The farmers as well as the business men. agree with MT. Williamson that the farmers of the South should raise more corn. In his address Mir. Will Hanson quoted statistics which showed the large number of bushels of corn which was brought to the South every year from the West, and which amount could be greatly lessened by those who titled the soil If they successfully raised corn. and he said that if more corn was raised in the South, he had no doubt that the cotton raised would command a better price.

longest whiskers on Jan. ! next will
be given sword by y. X. Ployd
Thirteen soldiers have entered the
contest. and. as they have been in bat
ties which have been won by hairs
breadth. they are not ayerse to a whls-
ker growing race which may not be
won by close shave.
The contest. it appears. grew out OF
remarks made at a meeting Of the post.
One veteran who had nair on his head
and none on his face called another
who had hair on his face and none on
his head baldheaded The veteran
with the hair on his face coDtended
that his whiskers contained more hair
than the other veteran had on his
head. Then all the veterans who were
either baldheaded or ''baldfaced.' as It
were, took sides in an argument on
whiskers. 1t was then that comrade
Pioyd, to stir the ambitions of the
beardIess ones, came out with his prop
osition.
