them good, and this brings us to the
conclusion of the whole matter, name
ly, can the southern farmer be per-
suaded to change his viewpoint? In
stead of seeing through a glass darkly.
can he be made to see clearly. face to
face? Perhaps the whole business Of
the southern agriculture must be redi-
rected, and | am sure the southern
farmer must change his ideas and his
ideals. Just as long as the farmer
thinks that land must wear out, 1t will
wear out. Just as long as the farmer
does not think of humus there will be
no humus in the cultivated land. Only
the farmerl who thinks of nitrogen nod
ules will rotate his crop. The farmer
who does not realize that the soil Is
full of life and life activities will not
drain his land. The farmer who plows
to kill weeds will never control soil
moisture by tillage. The farmer who
laughs at scientific agriculture will
continue to sell his birthright for a
mess of pottage.
The practical farmer must become a
scientific farmer. Now, when you have
a serious waste, the thing to do is to
stop it. And this brings us to the
point as to who is going to stop the
depletion of soil fertility and give the
south good land for all crops. Is the
state going to do it? If so, it may be
done, for what the state undertakes to
do 1t may do. Is the national govern
ment going to do 1t? II SO, 1t may be

Howard Mitchell Kills Young
Jim Body

Howard Mitchell, a young and
industrious farmer living near
here, shot and killed jim Body,
a young man about g years of
age, at Mt, Zion church in Missis-
sippi, about six miles from here.
About 500 people were assembled
at an all-day singing at that
place, and most all heard the
shot that killed the young man
The killing took place about 100
yards from the church. The ex-
act cause of the tragedy was
hard to learn Your correspon-
dent was present and heard the
shot and saw the dead man, also

Body did not live long enough to
make a statement of the affair.
AS stated by Marion Mason, one
of the first to arrive on the
scene. there was found an open
knife near the dead man. When
asked to make a statement about
the killing, Mitchell said that he
was forced to do what he did.
He said that Body was approach
ing him with an open knife, and
making threats to cut his throat
from ear to ear. Furthermore
he sGid he kept walking back
wards, telling Body not to ap-
|proach him. and that he did not
hold any malice against him.

The members of the late Norton
Comedy Company never seem to keep
out of trouble. Yesterday two of them
had formal requests from Jack Kellett
to return unto Caesar those things
that belonged to Caesar, Caesar in
this case being Norton, late head of

Harry Cumming was the principal
comedian in the troup, and he and
Master Mechanician Pinkham called
on Norton at his little bungalow and
made formal demand for money for
services that would have been render
ed had the company continued. Norton
vainly protested, and said as a final
argument that he had none to give.
This argument seemed so conclusive
that Cumming and Pinkham consider
ed it unnecessary to linger.
Cumming being the funny man, act
ed up to his profession and cook a wig
as an earnest that he needed money.
! Pinkham has no humorous streak,
but his business ability came to his
was a handsome gold fourteen jewel
watch, as the advertisement would say.
| Accordingly, he took this along with
him, and accompanied Cumming on a
triumphal march back to their respec-
tive rooms. Other members of the
company waited with GREATNESS inter-
est. When the pair hove in sight
there was a chorus of What did you
draw" and the two held the wig and
a watch Cumming, for the life of him
could not account for the peculiar
taste that he had displayed in picking
up the wig. His own hair, NE says, is
so designed as to make a wig un
necessary.
Pinkham about this time discovered
that the advertisement would have
lied, because the watch was not a gold
one by any means. All It had tc
recommend it, he says, were it's bulk
mess and the excellent willow pattern
stamped on the case. Norton, while
lie allowed the erring members of his
late company to take these things
from him, soon recovered from his
sorrow at having become connected
with people who were so ungratefu

GREATER ACCOMMODATIONS.

Owing to the demand for accommo-
dations at Haleiwa the old billiard
hall under the cocoanut trees has
been rebuilt into apartments with
baths for the accommodation of the
guests who consider this the most de-
lightful place on the islands for a
weeks stay. Being so convenient to
the city, many tourists run down for
the weekend, and there have been
nights when the applications for
rooms could not be filled. Hence
the addition.
The billiard table has been moved
to the lanai at the back of the house
so that those who wish may indulge
as usual.

IDENTIFICATION AS A BUSINESS
ASSET.

A business man went to visit Mem
phis not long ago to see what advan-
tages that city offered as place to
establish a branch of his factory. The
first thing he said to the two Memphis
citizens who met him at the train was;
Nov, let us hop into machine and
go out and see how you are fixed for

buildings

you mean to say that you are such a

thing"

trip to Honolulu. Accordingly he
called on Jack Kellett, who in turn
called on Cumming and PinRham. The
comedian and the carpenter returned
the wig and the watch to tne owner.
Both Of them said that they did not
want to keep them anyway. Cumming
had no use for the wig, and Pinkham
said that the watch was no good.
In the meantime, Norton is awaiting
developments, and has prophesied that
there will be a small riot if things
set any worse, and that he will beat
some of them up into wishing that
they had never trihed with his per-
sonal property.
Now, Norton, when the members re-
ferred to are not around, tells his
regret at knowing them, and the other
two call Norton names that are not
conducive to good fellowship if they
are overheard by the late head man.
In sight of each other all act as though
they were utter strangers living in
different planes of life.
