BEARING GOOD FRUIT.

Mr.. Blakeslees corn club expert

are ample justification for the trouble

1t has inspired new and very
healthy activity in the useful art Of
corn growing, especially among the
young farmers of the state. Some Of
its results may be seen in the recent
distribution of prizes in Yazoo county,
in which the first premium was
awarded to Leo Martin for a yield Of

positive that Mississippi. or Yazoo

WezVS From the Z17b0d
BASkIN FOR GOVERNOR.

The Meridian Dispatch came out in
strong editorial endorsing Hon. w
E. Baskin as its choice for the next
governor of Mississippi. The Dispatch
could not have found, among the many
eminent men of the state, one more
worthy and better qualified to occupy
this exalted position than Mr.. Baskin.
A profound lawyer, a progressive citi.
zen, christian gentleman, he meas
ures up to the full standard and the
people of Mississippi would honor
themselves by making Mr.. Baskin
their chief executive.
Mr. Baskin is the senior member of
one of the leading law firms of the
state and would have to make a very
great financial sacrifice should he en-
ter the race. Should he do so. how
ever, he will have a strong following.

THAT TAX LEVY.

The day after tomorrow the citi-
zens of Hattiesburg will decide. bv
the method of free ballot, whether or
not they will take upon themselves
an extra three-quarters of a mill tax
to be devoted to the equipment and
maintenance of a public park which
cost them nothing to get in the be-
ginning; whether or not they will vote
an extra half mill for the support,
maintenance and improvement of their
system of public schools; whether or
not they will vote an extra quarter
OF mill for paying interest on
outstanding city bonds and keep I'D
the city's credit; and whether of not
they will vote an extra half mill for
the benefit of the general fund, which
fell several hundred dollars short dur
ing the past fiscal year.
This is the proposition in a nut
Shell. 1t is just a plain, clean-cut,
business proposition. into the consid-
Grafton of which there should not be
lugged any extraneous matters, such
as politics. personalities or traction
companies.
1t is not a question of whether the
tax payers of Hattiesburg can stand
an extra two mills levy or not. three
quarters Of one mill of which is for
one year only. Hattiesburg can stand
whatever Laurel. or Gulfport or Nat.
chez, or any other city in Mississippi
can, but she is not asked to do even
this.
VIII this extra levy be the best
thing for Hattiesburg?" is the only
question that should enter into the
consideration of the voter.
When you have eliminated from
your mind all extraneous matters, and
have thought this question out along
the line named, then go to the polls
and cast your ballot as your consci-
ence dictates.
If the vote can only be got out
Thursday, The News thinks there is
little fear the new tax levy will not
carry by substantial majority.

COURSE OF BIBLE STUDY
Plans for Work of New Organization
in Pasadena Mature
Rapidly

PASADENA, April 25.-Plans for the
work to be undertaken by the recently
organized Young Women's Christian
association of Pasadena are rapidly
maturing, although those at the head
of the organization are taking enough
time to insure the complete success OF
their arrangements before putting their
plans into operation. For gym
nasium the association, through the
kindness of the Classical School for
Girls, will have the use of the gym at
tached to that institution.
A course of Bible study which will
deal with the women of the Bible is
planned, and educational classes will
be started under the direction of Miss
Ellen Parker of the high school and
Mrs. Leroy Ely, wife of one of the in
structors in the same institution. Until
October l the association will remain
at the old location of the Young Wom-
ems league, which has sunk itself in
the new organization in South Marengo
avenue.
Miss Derby is acting as secretary for
the present, but it is believed that Miss
McLemore, formerly general secretary
at Long Beach, will accept the offer
rendered her by the Pasadena associa-
ton and remove to this city.

AUTOISTS WANT USE OF
ROAD TO MOUNTAIN TOPS
Will Petition Board of Supervisors to
Open Arrowhead Highway to
Machines

SAN BERNARDINO, April pa
petition from automobile owners or
Southern California, the assessment on
whose machines aggregates $1,OOO,OOO,
will be presented to the board OF SUI
pervisors tomorrow asking that the
Arrowhead road to the summit of the
San Bernardino mountains be thrown
open to the use of automobiles Satur-
DAYS and Sundays and for three hours
Monday morning.
At present, owing to an act of the
board of supervisors, automobiles are
not allowed on this road on account
of their frightening teams, which on a
steep grade makes it hazardous for
teamsters hauling lumber from the
mills to this city.
The matter will probably be present.
ed to the board by DR.. j. N. Baylis, the
owner of Crestline, who will have back
of him the automobile clubs and own
ers of Southern California. Legally the
board has no right to close the noun
tain road to automobiles, but the pc
titioners do not intend to resort to law
to secure the privilege of that thor
oughfare to the summit of the range
but intend to work in conjunction with
the supervisors to secure access to the
mountains during certain days and
hours of the week.
Should the petition be granted. which
is generally believed will be the case,
it will no doubt result in the building
of numerous turnouts all the way from
the foot to the summit of the range
on the road.
