sires in foreign port and ship them
from that port without violating any
of the laws of neutrality. A vessel
engaged in such traffic must take all
the risks of capture on the high seas,
but unless it can be shown that the
vessel has been regularly armed as a
cruiser and carries a military expedi-
tion, there is no valid ground on the
part of the United States government
for molesting her or delaying her de-
parture.
While it is true that the administra
ton at Washington has so far refused
to recognize the Madriz government.
it is being rather severely criticized
for its course, as others of the great
powers have already accorded recogni-
tion, and there can be no doubt what
ever that the Madriz administration
is the de facto government without
regard to it's title to be considered the
de jure government as well-Picay-

The annual meeting of the CONNER
cial Club is called for next Tuesday
night. The club has done as much
work and accomplished as much as
could reasonably have been asked of
them with the very limited funds at
their command. But Hattiesburg
needs a Commercial Club that is a
Commercial Club right. The town
needs-actually needs the services
all day and part of the night services,
of live, wide-awake, energetic man
who knows how and docs things"
And of course-just bear this in mind,
please, such man is not begging for
job; he is not idle; he is worth
good money, and to get him and all
his time, Hattiesburg will have to pay
good money. But remember at the
same time, please, that "what is worth
doing at all, is worth doing well;
and if a Commercial Club is worth
having at all, it is worthy the best
management and the best officers that
money can buy. The meeting Tues
day night being the annual meeting,
when the election of new officers will
be the order of business, it is impof-
tant that between now and then some
thought be given to the que ,tion of
what are We going tn do?" What
arrangements are we going to make :?
Who will We put at the helm? How
much money are we willing to spend?
Because it is entirely a matter of will
lirgness. The land owners and bust
ness interests have the money; the
only question is, have they the heart
to part with it? Can they be made
to see that it is to their interest to
do so?

takers of 1910, disappointing as this
census is going to be.
Now then, if it is generally agreed
that something ought to be done, must
in self defense be done, why not go
ahead and do it? Why not organize
and do it? Why not raise the money
and do it?

and plant roots. We have an abundant
covering of snow; in Ontario they have
but little.

sible to produce such fruits as are
grown on the shores of Lake Ontario,
although Portage is no further north.
The reason for the production of fruits
in the Ontario district is the proximity
of Lake Ontario, and our season, APP

9th. In the Ontario district we find

What an enormous profit could be made

main conditions that one must investigate
in any fruit country to determine its pos

with those of fruit district already tested
