GREEN dies TO Save
NAME OF HIS Wife
(By Union Associated Press.)

Albany, N. Y, June 26.-Because he
has refused to sign a petition asking
for a communication of his sentence,
Charles L. Green will be electrocuted
at Clinton prison today. Mrs. Green
has made an affidavit confessing that
her husband shot her, at the same
time killing her daughter, because he
had discovered that she was unfaith-
full to him. She swears that he will
not permit her to testify to anything
that will help him, because it would
hurt her name, so he welcomes death
rather than have the people say a
word against her or her character. It
is believed Green could be saved if he
made an attempt to help those who
would help him. He has had one re
spite against his will and says he is
ready and willing to die.

as and the reclamation Of swamp lands
in Louisiana, which is just beginning.
are demonstrating to the country at
large the agricultural possibilities of
the long-neglected South. Rice grow
ing is an irrigation industry, but with
the South as a whole development is
not, of course, matter of irrigation,
as Dixie has been granted the blessing
of plenty of rainfall
THE South does need the help of
Uncle Sam just as the West needed
1t. We want the government to take
our water away instead of putting 1t
on the soil This is a simpler under
taking and a million dollars spent by
the government could accomplish the
reclamation of an area Of swamp lands
sufficient for the establishment Of
thousands of homes and for the pro-
duction of crops worth each year sew
eral times the amount invested.
"If the National Irrigation Congress
can accomplish this, and know the
entire South join with the organiza-
ton In its efforts to do so, the South
especially, the nation as a whole, and,
I might add, the entire world to a more
or less extent, will again be bene-
fitted by the deserving work Of the con-
gress The time rapidly Is approach
ing when every available acre OF
ground In this country will be needed
for agricultural purposes so I believe
that this year the South is offered a
means of gaining help Of infinite value
through the Irrigation Congress, and
that the chance of cooperation with
the congress should eagerly be taken
advantage Of Depend upon me to dc
my share"

DIRTY POLITICS..
Neglected Grave Of Senator Blbo's
First Wife is Photographed.

Carriere, Miss. June 26.-Something
OF a stir has been created in political
circles in this county by a report that
a political enemy of Senator Theodore
G. Bilbo, candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor. went twenty miles into the
country and photographed the grave
where Senator Bilbo's first wife is
buried, for the purpose of showing It's
alleged neglected condition. The
photograph, it is reported, is to be
used in the campaign for political pur-
poses against Bilbo.
The incident has created much feel
ing and resentment among the sup
porters of Bilbo. Bllbo's friends claim
that he had made arrangements to
move the body of his first wife to a
cemetery closer to his present home
some time ago. and that he purchased
a monument to be erected over the
new grave after the bedy is moved

editor Arrested;
LIBEL IS CHARGED

Corinth, Miss, June 26.-The editor
of the Daily Corinthian was arrested
here Saturday on a warrant charging
libel, said to have been sworn out by
Private" John M. Allen of Tupelo.
The cause of the alleged accusations
by Mr.. Allen, it appears, was an edi-
torial in the Corinthian, which appear
ed in the issue of June 10, in which
it was charged that some twenty-one
years ago, on June 10, 1880, Mr. Allen
forfeited $40 on an arrest for pricing
open a door at Stroatan's Mill and ex-
tracing therefrom a jug of whisky.
Editor Bonney gave bond at once
for his appearance at Tupelo today. II
is rumored that one or two other edi
tors in the neishboring towns will be
arrested on the same charges.
1t is alleged by friends of Mr.. Allen
that another person whose name has
been withheld, was with Mr.. Allen at
the time the liquor was taken, and
that Mr.. Allen was under the impress
sion that the liquor was the property
of this man, who accompanied lin tc
the mill.

Houston, Tex, June 26.-Produce
dealers are beginning to feel some ap.
prehension in regard to the potato sit
uation, since potato Iamine in this
market appears to be a certainty The
price has been steadily advancing, ris-
ing from 60 and 20 cents at the begin

$1.25 per bushel, with another jump
this week to $1.50 and SLIGO per bushel

point Buyers from Northern markets
have invaded the producing sections
and are buying up eevrything they can
lay their hands on at these prices and
shipping them North, and local buy
ers are having to hustle to get enough
to supply the demands of this market.
Predictions are being freely made that
this market will see potatoes at $500
per bushel and that very soon. There
is always a strong demand for pota-
toes and they must be had at any
price.
California potatoes are coming In
now. Before the Western crop began
to move California buyers were in the
territory buying at much lower figures
than are now prevailing. Now Cali.
fornia growers are holding their prices
firm at $500 per bushel. The shortage
in the potato crop in the North last
year caused the supply to be exhaust
ed from that source earlier this year

Let WHEY Stay in Bed, Take Her

Chicago, June 26.-The spoon that
stirs the soup Is the symbol of domes-

learn to use 1t as well as the wife,

who, unable to cook, had forced his
wife to arise at $3.50 a. m. to get
breakfast. The judge is a good chef
himself and is proud of it,

think Of getting married." said Judge
Goodnow. HE is a pitiable object.
Let the June bride beware of her hus-
band if he cannot toss the piping flap
jack or coax the flavor from the carrot
to the soup.
The engaged girl usually does not
consider in her beautiful dream of
things as they should be the drowss

husbands business of cooking comes
in.
Let him jump cheerfully from bed,
tell the wife to snuggle comfortably
In the blankets and then let him go

and wind up by carrying her cup
of chocolate before he hikes for the

LIBRARY NOTES.


Jane Adams has for years been a
prime mover in the slum work of the
city Of Chicago and her book "The
Spirit Of Youth and the City Street" is
book which no one who cares Sc
rlously about the subject can afford
to miss. 1t is most Interestingly writ
ten and the theme developed is this.
that in this age of achievement our
modern cities have gradually dispens-
ed with the responsibility Of provid-
ing wholesome places tf amusement
whereby our many millions OF child
laborers may obtain some of the
pleasures which by right of nature is
granted them. Conditions as they now
exist present to us a question of ma
tional Importance.
Thrown as they are upon the world
at an age when the shaping of their
lives depends wholly upon the sur
rounding conditions, it can clearly be
seen that many are the temptations
thrust before them, also making it
clear that protective measures must
be taken whereby they may find rec
reation and at the same time gain a
DNebci anu u ueT hHOWIeuSe OF the
outside world.
The spirit of youth cannot be de-
MED and the thirst for righteousness
and desire for adventure must be in
some way met with, and is not some
compensation due them in return for
the daily labor which their young souls
so strongly rebel against?
Let us then provide parks, gymna-
Sums, athletic fields and like forms
Of entertainment, where after the
strenuous work of the day, they may
meet and mingle. giving vent to their
youthful toyousness."

NO RAT ED|CT
EXTENDS TO ALL

AS a sequel to the edict issued by
the upper class girls or the high
school against the using of artificial
beautifiers by the freshmen, a meet
ing Of the entire coed student body
was held yesterday afternoon to dis
cuss the situation. The outcome was
the adoption of an agreement which
affects senior maid and freshman
lassie equally. Its intent is to bring
feminine adornment down to a sane
and sanitary basis and to prevent any
girl student from rendering herself
conspicuous by an ostentatious use of
paint, powder, rats, curls or puffs.
AS a consequence, number of the
girls went to school this morning
with their hair hanging down their
backs in braids or curls, which sim
plicity of headdress stands out in
bold contrast to the great piles and
stacks which have surmounted many
of the young lady's heads for some
time past. The relief is said to be as
welcome to the girls as to the boys,
