Maynard died in Florida last week,
and, according to the petition of Mrs
Nellie A. Rowe, who was his landlady
in Washington, he left $4,000 in cash
in two local banks, but no known heirs
at law. She and Susie Rowe field the
petition, claiming to be creditors.

AUTO BUILDERS
Plan CIRCUIT
FOR Big RACES
Ney Union Associated Press.)

Nhicago, Feb. members of the
'"dnuiacturers' Contest Association
are III chicago in attendance at the
'u'olhoolle show and will hold during
'ne week series of sessions to de-
'iue upon national motor racing cir
cult The objects of the circuit are
10 insure better racing and more of
1t lor the manufacturers, with less
propofuonate expense by the adoption
ol regular schedule which will OBJ
'late long jumps. 1t is also desired
10 attain recognized records through
accurate timing by competent officials
at all of the meets.
Nearly fifty applications for dates
are in the hands of the association
oihclals, but it is likely that only
about twenty will be accepted for the
national circuit. IL is probable that
the circuit will begin in Florida and
work westward to Louisiana and Texas
and thence to California, turning east
ward again to Indianapolis. The cir
cult will also have charge of certain
track, beach and road races and a few
NIL climbs. No endurance events will
be scheduled, according to the best in
formation.
1t is estimated that with the circuit
well established the cost of racing to
the manufacturers will be almost cut
in half. The avoidance of erractic
jumps and the subsequent doubling
back over the same territory to attend
other meets will alone effect an i'm
mense saving.

TRUCK OUTLOOK
VERY FAVORABLE

Crystal Springs, Miss. Feb. &c.
M. Huber, the well known truck grow
er and shipper, reports to the Chicago
Produce News trucking conditions in
the state as very favorable. He says:
Farmers have been very busily en-
gagged throughout the month hauling
fertilizers, planting and otherwise
preparing their lands for planting. A
large part of the pea crop has been
planted and some of the earliest plant
ings are now up and growing nicely.
The acreage in peas will be as large
as any we have ever had.
Cabbage plants are doing nicely and
have recovered from the injury done
them by the severe cold and few of
them have been transplanted to the
field but nearly all of them are small
and will be held in cold frames till
next month which is the usual time for
setting plants in the field.
Tomato seeds have been planted to
an extent not heretofore exceeded and
the indications are that the acreage in
tomatoes will be large as we have ever
had here and somewhat larger than
the normal acreage. The seed has
terminated nicely and plants are in
splendid condition at this time.
On the whole the outlook is for an
unusual large acreage in every kind Of
vegetable ordinarily grown here for
market, except cabbage, in which the
acreage will be only moderate. The
season starts under most favorable
conditions, nature smiling on the veg
etable industry.

LOST HIS CASE
Then gets fine
FOR CONTEMPT
May Have to do Time
on Farm.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 2.-Ras Neeley,
of Plain, Rankin county, has rather an
unusual case in the Supreme Court,
one in which several fine points of law
are involved, but on the face of the
evidence it looks as though Ras was
in for an unpleasant experience on the
Rankin farm.
Ras, some time ago, was convicted
of unlawful retailing before Judge G.
L. Dobbs in the Rankin Circuit Court,
and was fined $500 with county farm
sentence attached. Ras attempted to
conduct his own case in court, but
made dismal failure of it.
About two weeks later Ras engaged
Lamar Easterling of Jackson and w.
L. Thompson, of Brandon, to apply for
new trial.. on the ground that Ras
was drunk at the time of his former
trial, and did not know what he was
doing. AS evidence of this an afr
davit signed by Medley was attached.
Neeley declared he was drunk, and,
taking his affidavit as evidence of that
fact, Judge Dobbs fined him $50 for
contempt of court.
This was starter for the defense,
as it took Ras completely off his feet,
as it were, and as the new trial was
refused, attorneys for Medley appealed
to the Supreme Court in both cases.
LIT was their intention, If Judge Dobbs
refused a new trial for unlawful re-
failing, to take an appeal, but when
he fined Neeley for contempt Of court
an appeal was taken in both cases.
Mr.. Easterling, in presenting his
case to the Supreme Court declared
that Judge Dobbs had both ends Of
the proposition, and was not leaving
room for the attorneys for the defense
to catch on.

The common house-fiy has
been known the world over as
a filthy nuisance. Recently It
has been convicted of carving
all manner of filth disease. Ii
has been rechristened the "ty.

since it breeds in filth, feeds on

with filth everything it touches.
Doctor Stiles, of hookworm
fame, has also renamed it ap.
propriately the "filth- Nv"
Now comes the problem: How

Our attempts hitherto to solve

the climax of stupidity we pro
vide the enemy free breeding

give them all the food they
need at our kitchen doors.
Aside from disease caused by
flies, the most expensive and
disagreeable element of the
present situation is the fly

annually Mt least ten million
