WHY NOT A MONUMENT?

While the spirit of Memorial day
is yet upon us, why not start a cru
SADIE to help along the Grand Army's
desire to erect in the Bemidji ceme-
terry a monument in honor of the de-
parted soldiers?
1t would seem a small enough
sacrifice for the citizens of this city
and the surrounding country to will
lingly unite in contributing funds
for such shaft. saa.
It isn't right that the old soldiers
and their devoted wives and widows
of old soldiers should be compelled
as David Warfeld in "A Grand Army
Man" says, to Greece up with ice

nit the public to participate in so
commendable anundertaking that by
next Memorial day an appropriate
and enduring monument will have
been erected.

THE UNWASHED CUP.

If by some mysterious power the
human eye were given the power
of microscope to see the teeming
millions of life-destroying germs
which infest the ordinary drinking
cup, there would be prompt and
complete reform in the manner in
which thirst is quenched.
The Minnesota Association for
Prevention and the Relief of Tuber-
culosis is attempting to warn the
public of the unwashed cup and in
a bulletin just issued has this to say:
"The unwashed cup-Do you use
it? Do members of your family use
it at home or elsewhere?
ssIf you do it is up to you to wake
up and realize that you are not only
behind the times, but so far as this
practice is concerned still in the
stone age of civilization.

all the centuries is away from the
gregariousness of the primitive man
and toward the privacy and In

to loot the treasure carried in sacks.

PROMINENT FARMER ESTABLISH
DIPPING VAT CLOSE TO
HATTIESBURG.
AN EXAMPLE WORTH FOLLOWING
Cattle Industry of County Could be
Made Great With Only q Small Ex-
penditure for determination of the
Cattle Tick.

John B. Burkett, who is extensively
engaged in farming operations and
cattle raising on his farm south east
of Hattiesburg, has set the farmers of
Forrest county a splendid example
by putting in a dipping vat on his
place. This is the first effective step
so far taken in this county for the
eradication of the cattle tick. which
has been the cause OF great loss to
the stock raiaers for many years, both
in actual loss Of life "a.H@ he cat
tie and the depreciation in value for
which the pest is responsible.
The farmers of Forrest county are
awakening to a realization of the fact
that for this section to become the
cattle raising country it should and is
expected to become the cattle tick
will have to be eradicated, and this
can only be done by a concerted eff
fort on the part of the citizens inter
ested. Other counties Of the state
have within the short space of two
years and at an insignificantly small
cost, proportionately, succeeded in
eradicating the cattle tick. and there.
by removed the quarantine against
those counties.
Mr.. Burkett states that the total
cost of this dipping vat will not ex-
ceed $4,000. Farmers who are large
raisers or owners of cattle, could
follow his example and by a little
work and small expenditure of money,
in a very short time, enhance the
value of their stock by many times
the cost of establishing the watts. And
until all the cattle Of the county have
been freed of the ticks by the dip
ping process the eradication will not
be effective or permanent. Mr.. Bur
kett dipped 1870 head of cattle last
Friday and has a number yet to dip.
some of which had become greatly
weakened from the work of the ticks.
Mr.. Burkett says he has lost seven
head of cattle in the last few weeks.
for which the ticks alone were re-
sponsible, and he believes he would
have lost many more had he not TAX
en- the initiative and put in his own
dipping vat. The cattle were put on
new pasturage, after being dipped,
and will very probably not be infested
with the ticks again before spring,
when they can be dipped at regular
intervals for few weeks until they
have been entirely freed of ticks.

AND BURGLAR
WALKS OUT OF JAIL.

for Charles Brantley, a notorious
bootlegger, who was recently convict
ed and sentenced to serve a term of
six months on the county farm, and
who is also wanted for burglary.
Brantley, until Monday morning, was
safely behind the bars of the city
jail, but by a clever ruse he fooled
Jailer George Williams and simply
walked away.
Brantley is a celever swindler and
frequently pulled off some raw stunts
aside from his business presiding

convicted last Thursday for compiled

elated over the prospect of having
put him away where he would give

ODD FELLOWS ARE
here in FORCE
Hattlesburg Lodge Entertains South
Mississippi Brothers De-
lishtfully.

One of the most interesting and
thoroughly enjoyable meetings of odd
Fellows ever held in Hattiesburg was
the district meeting here yesterday
afternoon and last night. Seventy
five delegates, representing twenty
five lodges Of South Mississippi were
in attendance, the guests of Hatties-
burg Lodge No. 127. In the afternoon
the School of instruction, in charge
Of Grand Secretary w. S. P. Doty, was
the feature and was largely attended
by delegates and members of the To-
cal lodge
1T night in the Odd Fellows Hall
the most i'm. ortant exercises Of the
day took place. The attendance was
over 200, and Grand Master Herman
Katz, of Hattiesburg, WIS master of
ceremonies. The exemplification of
the Initiatory Degree was an itnerest-
ins feature and was followed by an
eloquent address of Welcome by Luth-
or A. Smith, ESQ OF Hattiesburg.
This was followed by informal talks
and humorous illustration by Rev.
R. J.. Campbell of Hattiesburg, Ed
Self Of Meridian. W. S. P. Doty. the
Grand Secretary, Rev. Chambers and
r. F. Fridge of Ellisville, R. E. and
y. N. Cutterbach, of Howe.
Hon. w. S. Pierce of Hattiesburg
then presented in behalf of the local
lodge two Grand collars to Lewis
Caplan and Dr. VIM. Busby of Hat
tiesburg for faithful service to the
lodge during the past year. 1t is a
custom of the local lodge to present
each year certain regalia to the two
most faithful workers during the pre-
vious twelve months and the tokens
were well-deserved by Mr.. Caplan
and DR.. Busby.
The Rebeccas then took charge and
served one of the most appetizing and
delightful suppers it has been the
pleasure of the Odd Fellows to have
before them in a long while.
