In Alaska we get very little beef, pork
or mutton, but feast on reindeer till it be-
comes a pretty monotonous item on the
daily menu.
Reindeer isn't bad eating as an occa-
sional dish, but met with too frequently it

hope for preferment as a reward for conscientious
service. That man who holds a position above only
one other man in a business organization must expect
that man below him to nurse a certain amount OF

The game is competitive all along the line. Bust

Along the Right Lines.

An enormous amount of good work
is being done by individual citizens from
various portions of Mississippi, looking
to improved methods of farming. This
is largely a labor of love on their part,
although increased prosperity will
necessarily benefit them directly or in
directly. The number thus interested
is growing larger year by year, and will
continue to increase. They are public
spirited citizens, who are not afraid to
invest a few dollars in a good cause
that Will come back to them in later
years many fold.
Numbers of these instances are being
made public in the State press, and
especially in the way of offering prizes
for excellence in growing crops and live
stock. Not long since a number of en-
terprising citizens of Laurel got to-
gether and made public an offer of one
thousand dollars ($1,OOO) in prizes for
corn and hay growers Ellisville, in
the same county, is also making liberal
offers. Meridian is making handsome
Inducements, and a dozen other places
might be mentioned. A hardware firm
in Aberdeen offers a $75 buggy to the
Monroe farmer who raises the most corn
on fifteen acres, and one hundred rods
of fence to the man who kills for his
own use the five largest hogs not over
two years old.
The Farmers Union is especially ac-
tive in the encouragement of better
farming, and many locals, as well as
county unions, are stimulating this sem
timent by offering substantial prizes
for growing crops. The results for the
past year nave been most satisfactory,
and the movement will take a wider
scope this year. The enthusiasm for
better methods is highly infectious, and
is spreading to every portion of the
State.
This means much for our State in the
future. Our people will prosper despite
the invasion of pests by taking advan-
tage of diversification and living at
home. The men who are pioneers in
this movement are deserving of great
credit and commentator at the hands
of the people.
InuIcations at present are that Missis-
sippi is to undergo the most strenuous
and exciting campaign in its political
history uuIInS IHe HeAC C"elNc AIOfhCho'
This is to be sincerely regretted by
every one who would see the State con
tinue to prosper and advance along
material lines. Ours has been free
from such conditions heretofore, but
like many of the other States, it has
come at last, and will greatly interfere
with this splendid work OF development
that was progressing so nicely. The
man with a little farm and a living at
home will feel the effect of it much less
than others, and Mississippi, being {
State of small farmers, will undoubt
eddy be less affected han others hay'
been.

The Kansas agricultural experiment.
station, as reported in bulletin 90 and
press bulletin No. 141, has tested sew
eral times the feeding value with hogs
of soy bean meal with corn, in the
proportion of four-fifths of corn to one
fifth soy beans, as against corn alone,
and found that larger gains, ranging
from ID to 81 per cent, were made in
every case on mixed ~rations, as against
corn alone. 1t is not economy to feed
corn alone or soy bean meal alone.
One of the best methods of harvesting a
soy bean crop on land that is thin and
more or less run down, is to turn the
hogs on when the first beans are about
ripe and allow them to get all that is
available, and then urn the balance
under for q winter cereal OF oats OF
wheat.
soil and Climatic Adoption.
Soy beans are decidedly drouth-resist-
ant, much more so than COW peas. They
will stand a great deal more moisture
than either corn or COW peas, and are
at their best on fairly fertile loans OF
clay.
We would suggest that every man
reading this paper who has not grown
soy beans as yet to try an acre or so
this coming season. 1t is necessary to
give the soil thorough preparation in
order to be successful with this crop.
Your first trial may not be as satisfac-
tory as you might wish, owing to poor
preparation of the seed bed, and pos
sibly the need of soil of incubation.
But as a rule, the soils of the South
are already inculcated sufficiently for
soy beans, and if you do not get 20
bushels per acre this coming season,
with the mammoth yellow variety, try
it again on the same piece of land, and
larger returns will be the result.
Get your seed at once from the near
est seed house for either the mammoth
yellow, Ito San, HolbroOk or Acme
varieties. Any of the seed advertisers
in our paper have these, and you will
probably find them advertised in this
issue of the paper. The mammoth yell
low should be planted any time be-
tween the middle of April to the middle
of June for hay or grain purposes, while
the other varieties are earlier and may
be planted accordingly throughout the
South. Further instructions OH how to
handle the soy bean crop will be given
in these columns.

FATAL COLLISION
 ON GRAND TRUNK
Fast Passenger Train Crashed Into Rear of Another Passenger, Killing Eight Outright and Iniuring Sev- eral-Fire Prevented Rescue
 of Several.

Durand, Mich., Aug. 25.-In a rear end collision between passenger trains Nos. and 14, both eastbound, two miles east of Durand, late last night, eight persons are known to have been killed, three probably fat ally injured, and five were seriously hurt.
 It is reported early today that four other passengers are missing. Train No. 14 stopped to repair defective brake, when No. crashed into the rear sleeper of the standing train The engine on No. ploughed half way through the sleeper, crushing some of the sleeping passengers.
 The wreckage of the sleeper caught fire and others of the passengers were burned or scalded. It is said there were IS passengers on the ill., fated car. M S
 The dead bodies recovered during the night are two unidentified women, one about 50 years old, and the other about 60, and six persons whose bodies are so badly scalded and burned as to render identification impossible.
 The probably fatally injured are ;, Clinton Davis, 27, of Montreal, scald- ed and cut about the head and body; Geo. Nelson, Battle Creek, fireman on train Mo- 4, scalded and cut, and Bert Mitchell of Port Huron, engineer on train No. IA, who was injured about the head.
 Only the splintered Pullman wa. thrown from the rails. The occupant: , Of other coaches escaped with noth- ing more serious than severe shak- ing up.
 Injured passengers, half clad, en- deavoring to rescue those in the sleeper, were driven back again and again by the heat of the flames and by escaping steam, and were able tC do little toward recovering the bod ies of the dead.
 Eight Bodies Recovered. Durand, Mich., Aug. 25.-Eight bod lies are reported recovered from the wreckage of eastbound Grand Trunk Trains Nos 4 and 14, which were ir a rear-end collision three miles east of here last night. None of the rdead has been identified. It is not yet known how many are injured.

West are prosperous, and many of them are buying automobiles. There
 are now about 10000 motor cars in Kansas, according to assessment fig urges. In Nebraska, also, farmers are purchasing motor cars, but with out impairing their credit, mortgaging their homes or causing the bankers to indulge in head-shaking. There are bankers in the states named who have never heard even of a chattel mortgage on a farmers auto. The majority of the bankers say without hesitation that their farmer custo- CTS pay cash for cars-and for ev- erything else besides.
 Thus are cock and bull stories of
 wild extravagance'' assigned to !their proper limbo, and the actual 1 facts made to emphasize the remark
 able but simple truth as to the wealth
 and soundness of the West.
 If the laborer is worthy of his hire
 the farmer is entitled to his auto. 1n-
 cidentally he promotes great in-
 dustry, pays wages of thousands of
 mechanics, and increase the pur- chasing power of urban communities.

Former Governor of the Philippines and Former Secretary of War Drives Golf Ball Against Head of Former
 New York District Attorney.

New York, Aug. 25.-Delancey Ni- coll, formerly district attorney of New York county and prominent criminal lawyer, was knocked out in recent game of golf by wild swing of the driver held by Gen. Luke E. Wright, former governor general of the Philippines. The news only came out when Mr. Nicoll returned from Shinnock Hills, l.. I. where the game was played yester- day.
 The club struck MT Nicoll on the side of the head and made an ugly wound. There were fears for time that his skull had been fractured but he took it lightly.
 Wright can't put me out of the game that way he laughed, when he recovered consciousness, and to- day he was boasting that he beat Mr Wright Tuesday,

Spokane, Wash, Aug 25-The mys- tery of the bodies found in St. Joe country will probably be cleared up today when the Milwaukee runs it's first passenger train to Avery One hundred tnd six men living in St. Joe Valley are said to be missing.
 TWenty-tWo bodies, supposed to be of settlers, were found yesterday. Several days ago twenty bodies were discovered scattered over an area of over mlle, and it was assumed that they were forest rangers.
 Supervisor Weigle included them in his list of dead employees. Las: night, how ever, he declared they were not rangers.
 Add to the number of the seventy four dead rangers the forty-four bod ies found near Avery, ten Japanes~ who perished near Avery and various known dead in Washington, Idaho, Montana, and the total is 142.

 Fully 5000 persons gretted Roose- welt when his special train arrived at Erie at 9.20 a. m. The colonel spoke briefly, chiefly along lines or his earlier speech made at Buffalo.
 Hello, Teddy was heard from the sea of humanity that lined the station platform when the train pull ed into Erie, and it was some mln- utes before the colonels voice could be heard. In an undertone to Con- gressman Bates, who was on the rear platform, the African hunter said:

Miners Claim He Told Don- aghey T. N. Davis Was ... a Republican.
MAY CALL COMMITTEE
If Charges are Proven it May Mean Removal of Hogan as Fed
 eratiOn Head.

Fort Smith, Aug. 25.-Before the close of this week it is understood that a call will be sent out for a meeting of the executive committee of the Arkansas Federation of Labor for the purpose of investigating the charges to be preferred against President E. w. Hogan, of the federa- tion, which if proven to be true, may subject him to removal from office.
 The coal miners of the state are taking this advance step in an ef- fort to depose Hogan on account Of the alleged action he took in the matter of the appointment of state caused by the death of James Doug lass. Following the death of Doug lass the miners voted on the name to be recommended to the governor to fill the vacancy T. N. Davis of Greenwood was selected, but the gov ernor failed to appoint him.
 According to statement sent out from the district headquarters of the United Mine Workers of America, District No. 21, Hogan interfered. The letter, in part, is as follows:
 We waited on the governor on August ,. He informed us he had two reasons for not appointing Day. 1 is. The first was that Mr. Freeze who was a member of our organiza- tion, presented a petition of 1,4S0 names of members of our organiza- ton, while the Davis and Hogan com- bined vote was only 1,427.
 His second was that he had re- ceived a letter from Ed Hogan stat ; ing that Davis was a Republican and had refused to vote for Donaghey that he, Hogan, had the endorsement of several good, influential Democrats from his county, showing that he always had been true Democrat and asked that he, the governor, still consider his application for the ap. pointment over that of Davis.
 Brother Winters and myself read Brother Hogan's letter to the gover- nor. To say the least, it is very un becoming of him to take this method of preventing the appointment o1 Brother Davis because he himself die not get the endorsement from tht miners of Arkansas. He, Hogan, as president of the State Federation o Labor, in making this protest, let the governor to believe that there was fight on between the miners order and state federation and he be- leved that the appointment of Davi: would involve him in the fight witl the state federation.

Buffalo, Aug. 25.-Theodore Roose- welt pledged himself to the men of Buffalo today to help them and all sincere citizens to fight crookedness wherever it is found.
 I'll help you just as I did in the past he said, speaking to the Elli- colt Club, whose guest he was at breakfast an hour after sunrise. He made a plea for the punishment of crooked and grating public officials and the election of honest men in their places, and a process of grad ual, but permanently raising, of the morals of political and business life, and said he thought it his duty to hunt out crooks, and especially crooks in his own party.
 Nearly 400 members of the Ellicott Club and other citizens, representing the leading professions, awaited MT.

FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE.

The Angel of Crimea' is dead In all reverence it may be said that the highest earthly need of praise is to be called an "angel'' while still alize, and Florence Nightingale's title to immortality is the fact that for evangel of sympathy and gent e min istration to the dead and suffering in time of war. Hers was vastly more than the service of the trained and intelligent nurse. for there have been thousands such, who have given to the soldiers of their countries the same devotion which Florence Night ingale gave to those engaged in that deadly struggle in the Crimean peninsula. It was she who caused the hospitals of the English to cease to be shambles whence more than 50 per cent of the wounded were car ried out to their graves. Her sur passing executive ability, the incisive keenness with which she perceived the weakness of the system, the mar vicious "savor faire' which gave po- tency to her recommendations counted for far more than even the unremitting ardor with which, she threw herself into the work in hand or the tireless devotion with which sbe ministered to those who looked upon her as a woman and called her an angel.
 War is all that sherman said it was, but Miss Nightingale was one of the very first to rob it of some of it's more 'grisly terrors. Fighting and slaying fellowmen is ever a brutal and wolfish work and it requires some of the spirit which animates
 
 those who may rightly be called sup erhuman to keep the glamor from rubbing off even the most patriotic of such struggles. The charge of the Light Brigade was called by a brilliant Frenchman magnificent but hn rnrly of on Nightingale may rightly be called both war-like and magnificent. Ii could be performed nowhere but on the field of battle and in the wards of pain and suffering. It does not belong to the fields of peace, but without it war would be even more than Sherman's designation.
 Florence Nightingale fittingly de. clined the honors and rewards which were heaped upon her. Nothing that kings or nations could do would ex- alt the splendor of her achievements nor could all the gold that might have been laid at her feet pay the debt that humanity owed to her and not only to her but to all the other gentle, heroic women-wht have followed or preceded her.
