method, so-called from the originator,
w. w. Pope, of Tylertown, who has a
patent on his idea. At the chairman's
request, it was explained by DR.. H. G..
Hathorn, of Columbia, very clearly. He
declared it needs no experience, no
technical knowledge, as with dyna-
mite, etc, but the man of little means
can use II as there is no buying of ex-
pensive machines necessary. AS an
example of how effective it is, DR.. Ha-
thorn declared the Fernwood Lbr. Co.
is now using this Pope burning method
to the exclusion of all other methods.
c. A. Cobb Eloquent.
c. A. Cobb, of the A. & M. College,
agent in charge of the Corn Club
Boys Demonstration work, gave an
eloquent appeal for the cooperation OF
the farmers and agents with the corn
club work of the boys, saying he
talked to boys and girls from to &C.
that is, any one in earnest in the work
He told how the boys corn clubs play
their part in educating the people; oil
how few years ago, people here who
thought they couldn't grow corn, are
now doing so successfully. Out Of
100 boys from states on the honor
roll at Washington, 33 boys are from
Mississippi and the record shows 1915
bushels of corn to the acre; surely
Mississippi should be proud OF that
said the speaker, and surely Others
can do what these boys have done, and
raise at least so bushels to the acre.
Mr.. Cobb said corn clubs reach thu
| families of the boys and girls ant
make them read, thus keeping up will
what other people are doing.
Address Of w. e. Young.
w. E. Young, of Smithdale, followed
with short talk on "Terracing." Mr.
Young gave several helpful sugges
lions on this subject, which is really
hill draining.

AN ORGANIZED
SEARCH FOR OIL
Search for Oil in the Territory Around
Port of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Opinion.

Pascagoula, Miss, Feb. IA con-
certed and organized effort is being
made to develop the promising oil and
gas fields believed to be existent in
the territory of the Port of Pascagou-
la. Many of the morst prominent men
of the port have banded themselves
together in a company, the details of
the perfection of the organization of
which have not yet been made public,
and drilling activities are predicted
to begin within thirty. days.
For many years the entire gulfcoast
territory has been avoided and neg
lected by seekers after oil, and not
until the great Louisiana and south
| eastern Texas fields were brought in
some years ago and did the experts
turn seriously to this part of the coun-
try. Following these astounding
demonstrations in the oil development
business, countless thousands of dol
lars have been invested in various
places in an endeavor to coax from
mother earth the oil riches. Texas,
Louisiana and other states west OF
the Mississippi river have been and
are being thoroughly exploited.
A few short months ago these seek
ers after wealth crossed the Missis
sippi river and have been Industrious
ly at work in various sections. The
lower end of Baldwin county, Alabama
gave up strong indications of the pres
ence OF both gas and oil, and some Of
the eastern counties Of Mississippi are
being exploited as a gas field, That
section of Louisiana east OF the Mis-
sissippi river is rapidly coming to the
front as an oil producing territory
also. That oil and gas both exist il
this particular territory was shown il

tons made in 1856, the colored chart!
. of that time being plainly and clearly
marked for both oil and gas far dowr

both George and Jackson counties
Experts passing over this particular
territory in recent years have givei
out statements that the physical sur
face indications are very strong TO
the abundant presence of gas, and tn
fact that gas is shown to exist i
proof that somewhere. in the same vi
cinity oil is to be found.
An Expert Opinion.
Many years ago expert survey wa
made of wide expanse of territor
for the purpose of locating prospective
future gas and oil fields. This SUI

of getting landscape gardener here

We have no parks and in ten or twenty
years from now we cannot buy suit

FRUIT BUSINESS SOLD.

This morning Jos. West became the
owner of the property and business of
the Thomas Produce company in this
city. The deal was consumated Sat
urday of last week.
This milling and fruit business has
been in Merrill for many years. 1t
was established sixteen years ago by
W. r. Bryan, late of Wausau. A year
and one-half ago Mr.. Bryan disposed
of the plant to the Thomas Produce
company, of Green Bay. Recently
the building was partially destroyed
by fire. 1t has been rebuilt by the
Thomas Produce company. and new
machinery for milling purposes has
been installed. Thus the equipment
and building is practically new.
Joe. West, the new owner, is keen
business man, and is thorough and
competent man in that line of BUSH
ness. Mr.. West came TO Merrill
number of years ago, and assumed
the management of the business for
the W. r. Bryan company, and later
held the same position for the Thomas
Produce company. For the past year
he has been affiliated with the Lincoln
Milling & Elevator company.
Mr.. West will conduct the business
under the name of the Merrill Eieva-
tor company.-Merrill Herald.

Counties Want Power.

Madison, Wis, March-Five counties
in the state are awaiting the action
of the legislature relative to oheir
right to erect sanatoria for the care
of tuberculosis patients. At present
there is no law giving them the au-
thority to erect and maintain such
institutions.
The Youlnans bill, 693 A, now be-
fore the legislature, gives this neces-
sary authority and also makes pro-
vision for the payment by the state
to counties of 50 per week per patient,
with limit of $4,000 per year.
Winnebago, Lacrosse, Marathon,
Eau Claire and Kenosha- counties are
contemplating the erection of such
institutions but have been unable to
take the first steps. Lacrosse county
appropriated IS, 900, Marathon county
board favorably considered the matter,
as have the boards OF Eau Claire and
Winnebago counties. Kenosha and
Racine counties are contemplating
joining III the erection of such an in
sti6utien.
While there has been no open oppo-
sition TO the bill at Madison, it is
necessary to have more general sup
port to obtain the passage of the bill
Throughout the state those who are
interested in the white plague tight
are writing to their senators and
assemblymen, urging its passage.
1t is pointed out to the legislators
that there is no place in the state to
which advanced cases may be sent;
that it is useless to attempt to care
for incipient cases when advanced
cases are continually spreading the
disease and making patients faster
than the state sanatorium for incip-
tents at Wales can, with its limited
accommodations, care for durable
cases.

THE PASSION PLAY.
Lecture by C. C.. ParIin at the High
School March 27.
fCommunicated.)

tCOmIuullCalco-1
The Passion Play of 1910 win be
portrayal in an illustrated lecture
given by Prof. Charles c. Parlin under
the auspices of the Ladies Literary
club, at the high school auditorium
Monday evening, March q, at 5 p. N.
The lecture will be illustrated by
more than one hundred lantern slides.
most of them finely colored imported
ones. OF these forty are especially
fine official views of scenes and tab
leaux that have been purchased at
cost OF over S10c-S2. so a piece besides
the duty. These are much superior
to those generally being used in this
country, which are made from photo
graphs and colored in America by
guess. The otfici2i slides were taken
directly from the scenes themselves
and colored by artists who make a
special study of color effects, and who
use samples of the cloth worn by the
actors in matching shadeS-a neceS-
sary thing if one is to get an adequate
idea of the Passion Play, as one of its
great charms is in its carefully ar
ranged color effects. These official
views cannot be rented or bought in
America because they are sold only
under contract, which provides a
penalty for renting or selling or loan
ing or giving away or reproducing the
slides.
In addition to these there are some
views taken by Prof. Parlin's party
last summer and some free hand
drawings of life scenes that the vii
layers will not allow to be photo
graphed. 81
But the Passion Play of 1910 viii be
more than a picture show. Prof.
Parlin has given much thought dur
ing the winter to the preparation of a
lecture that shall in the first place
furnish a historical background that
will give wider significance to the
great religious drama, and second
shall make vivid the life of the vii
layers and of the play itself.
