MUST RAISE MORE STOCK


L |rNIH|V
Jackson.-The news that thf Natchez
packing plant was being forced to go to
st. Louis and other markets. for live
stock and to Kentucky and Tennessee
for hogs, has had the effect of stirring up
the hog raisers and students of the sit
uatioh, and it is gathered from their
communications and statements that
this condition will not obtain after this
year, and would not now be the fact
but for the reason thar 90 many farmers
are interested in raising hogs, they will
not depletc their supply Of brood stock
at present, and do not propose to sci. UNI
til their droves become larger, and that
il the chief reason that the state shows
. scarcity of hogs for the market at
present. This is very likely the case,
and by next fall there will be hundreds
of thousands of hogs, and of good W.
~rieties, in the state. .
The Illinois Central and Yazoo and
Mississippi Valley railroads will have
contributed 20 blooded bears, as they
will give to the winner Of the Boys
Corn Club contest in each county a reg
istered boar from any breeder in the
United States the contest winner desires
to get his hog from, and this will be a
considerable impetus to the breeding OF
better hogs, to say nothing of the hun
dreds of farmers who are buying breed

NOEL MAKES PROCLAMATION
November II Set Aside For Educational
Institutions to Observe 1t and Spread
Information ON That Date.

Information on That Date.
Jackson.-At the suggestion Of the
Interstate School Improvement League,
l, Edmund F. Noel, governor of the State
of Mississippi, call upon all schools, col
leges and other educational institutions,
and public institutions of every kind,
and the public generally, to join in the
observance Of Friday, the 18th day Of
November, 1911, al . special public
health day, devoting a part of that day
to improvement of sanitary conditions
of buildings and surroundings, and at
least one hour to a program devoted to
consideration Of matters pertaining to
improved public health conditions.
During the present generation, i'm
mense progress has been made, not only
in surgery, largely through improved
knowledge and aseptic treatment OF
wounds, but also through . more per-
feet understanding of the causes, reme'
dies and methods of prevention Of the
various ~preventable diseases which have
done so much in the past to bring ex-
pense, suffering and death to mankind.
Yellow fever, smallpox and other
plaques, by skillful preventive measures,
are met and routed in communities adopt.
ing and enforcing proper hygienic regu-
~lations. Typhoid fever, diphtheria and
most other maladies are preventable
when proper care and skill are exer-
cised.
The State and Federal government,
aided by public spirited and %philnnthrop-
ic individuals and organizations, are do
ing more and better work in Mississippi
now, and have been for several years
past, than ever before in its history. I'm
proved health conditions means longer
life, happier life, buster life, less suffer-
ing, more fruitful labor and greater and
more prolonged happiness and prosper
ity to the individual and to the state.
Every good citizen should contribute to
the onward march of the public health
movement by studying, encouraging 9th
ers to study, observing and enforcing
those rules and practices that prevent
and remedy evil conditions which result
in human misery and death, from pre-
ventable causes. Wherever such work
has been done wisely, thoroughly and
persistently public health has improved,
the working capacity has advanced, suf-
fering has been diminished and the aver
age of human life has been extended,
both in cities and in the country.
In testimony whereof, I have here
unto subscribed my name and caused the
great seal of the State of Mississippi tt
be affixed at jackson, this the 23rd day
of October, A. d. 1911.

A ENGLE TO R
Interesting Complication Develops At
Natchez,

Natchez.
Jackson.-The extra session of the leg
islature by Gov. Noel has brought forth
several very interesting complications in
connection with vacant seats in that
body.
Down in Adams county a very in
sistent constituency is demanding that
Hon. Charles F. Engle withdraw his
resignation, rendered to Gov. Noel at the
close of the 1910 session, and Mr.. Engle
is equally insistent that, having re-
signed, he intends to stay resigned, and
will have nothing whatever to do with
Mississippi's lawmaking body.
Gov. Noel holds that Mr.. Engle is still
eligible to his seat in the senate because
the resignation was not accepted. Mr..
Engle says that he don't care whether
it was accepted or not, that he intends
to stay in Natchex during the extra SEES
sion, and nothing short of a sergeant
alarms sent with authority to place
him under arrest can compel him to com
