The ethical problem is worthy of con-

this organization to exploit successfully

to investigate plans or movements look

The commercial secretary is alive to the
Importance of good roads, civic improve

necessities to do but rather he is anxious
to learn how to do. or course on the
topics of general interest he can catch in

evangel or his own vision can be broad

prophet But the end and aim of an or

should be to promote efficiency of method
and to make better, broader and more

GENERAL TRADE
Is STILL QUIET

New York, May N.-Bradstreets tomor-
row will say:
Quiet still rules in trade and many
lines of industry, while speculation, ex-
cept In grain seems in a waiting stage
pending clearer views of ultimate crop
and price outcome. Relatively most ac-
tivity in jobbing trade is centered in
meeting current demands and fall bust
ness still lacks form.
Retail trade has shown some gain at
leading western markets, but is still
ciassed as below expectations. Unseason-
able cool weather is very commonly as
signed as the cause for backward trade,
but there are still in evidence the signs
that uncertainty as to prices hold back
future commitments.
Relatively best trade reports come from
the northwest but there Is rather more
doing at some western markets though
cool, wet weather was a bar to activity
at most cities. Southern trade is on the
whole slightly better. Eastern sections
show some gains in some lines, but a
quiet market characterizes trade as a
whole. In industrials the features are the
continuance of the rather more cheerful
feeling noted last week in iron and steel
based on recognition of the effect shut
downs upon crude production and the
apparent putting INTO erect OF very SIM
liar measures In the leading textile lines.
Cotton mill curtailment promises to be
more widespread next week than at
any previous time since the present trade
reaction became evident. A full week IS

uled.

Seventy Years Of Eating

If a man of 70 years was starv-
ing, it would probably be little
comfort to him to think that he
lad consumed in the course Of
ais life ffty-three and three
quarter tons of solid food and
forty-two and three quarter tons
Of liquid, or about 1880 times
his own weight in both solids and
liquids, but it would be true.
Being a man of average appe-
tite and purse he would have
eaten fifteen tons of bread,
which wo Id have made a single
loaf containing 1000 cubic feet
and appearing about as large as
the average suburban home; and
on this bread he would have
spread one ton Of butter. If his
bacon had been cut in a single
slice, says Harper's Weekly, the
strip would have been four miles
long and his chops placed end to
end would have extended two
miles.
Twenty ordinary sized bull
locks have supplied him with
beef eighteen tons Of which he
has eaten. along with five tons
of fish and 10, 600 eggs and $50
pounds of cheese. If he hao
elected to have all his vegetables
served at once they would have
come to him in a train Of cars,
the pod containing all his peas
being over three miles long.
He has had 5000 pounds OF
sugar, 1900 pounds of salt, s
pounds of pepper and 100 cans oil
mustard. Three pints Of liquid {
day would have amounted t.
76,600 pints, or ffty-two ane
three.quarter tons. If he haC
been a smoker, he would have
burned about half a ton o.
tobacco in a pipe or if he prefer
red cigarettes would have
smoked about a quarter Of ;
million.

THE FIRST LONE STAR FLAG
That Adopted by the First Congress-
Of the Republic OF Texas Had
a Predecessor.

The lone star of Texas has for
many years afforded a snhieot irter-
esting alike TO lie IoL-aAs4c poet ard
the student Of American history, and
concerning it many conflicting state
ments have been made.
The first congress Of the republic oil
Texas met on October 8. 1886, and
during the session adopted a flag and
q national seal. which are those nov
in use by the state of Texas. The
flag is of red, white and blue, with a
single five-pointed star of white. The
seal is a star surrounded by a wreath
of laurel and oak leaves.
This was not the first "lone star
flag" that was flung to the breeze in
Texas, however. In May, 1885, Mrs.
Sarah A. Dawson of Harrisburg, Tex,
presented a very similar flag to a
company organized at that place and
commanded by Andrew Robinson, and
that banner flew in the forefront OF
many of the fiercest fights for Texan
liberty.
Many dauntless hearts in other
states heard the first Texan bugles
blowing, and Georgia in particular
hurried her sons to the war for indie
pendence. At Macon, Ga, on Novem.
Der II, 1885, a battalion was organized
under the command of William Ward,
and by the twentieth of the same
month it was at Columbus, Ga, on its
way to the front. At the latter city
tho command was presented with a
plain white silk flag bearing a single
five-pointed azure star, by Miss Trout
man of Knoxville, Ga. Ward, the gal
liant leader of this little band, persisted
at the massacre of Goliad, and the
battalion fell to the last man.

NO MOUNTEBANk WANTED
IN MCLAURIN'S vACANTSEA-

The field of eligibles for the
unexpired term of the late United
States Senator A. J. McLaurin
presents a well-pigh limitless
wealth of material.
Alexander, Sexton, Kincannon,
Scott, Percy, Longstreet, Cand-
Ter, Byrd, Bowers, Whitfield and
others that might be mentioned
are names to conjure with.
There will be no lack of
aspirants, and there will be no
lack of men who are worthy to
wear the senatorial toga.
There has never been a time
in her history when Mississippi
was unable to offer men for
membership in the greatest de-
Lucrative body in the world who
could measure fully up to the re-
quirements of the office.
Such a time has never existed
in the past, and it does not exist
in the present.
Concerning the McLaurin Va
cancy the Daily News at present
has only this to say on the sul-
ject:
THE ables. statesman in the
commonwealth should be elected

The lawmakers must put petit
Jogging, peanut politics and
partisanship wholly aside in
choosing McLaurin's successor.
Mississippi's citizenship not
only demands a capable man,
but insists that a man be named
who will adorn the Office.
