That reform can be carried too
far has been demonstrated in Lau-
rel. Last Sunday wholesale arrests
were made and the ones arrested
were doing what is terms necessary
work. They included: Delivering
papers, Engineer at the electric light
plant, emergency repairing, and de-
livering ice.
While we are in favor of reform
we are of the opinion that when it
reaches the stage it has in Laurel
that it is not reform but a nuis-
ance. Not an arrest was made ex-
cept, a negro bootblack, that-was at
all necessary to reform and what
wasn't necessary to the comfort of
the citizens.
What man, be he minister or what
not, that doesn't like to read his
Sunday paper' The engineer at
the electric light plant was arrested
and we Judge from that the city
was in darkness that night.
Reform is needed almost every
where but not in that way. Why
not reform that law 90 that the citi-
zens can have little comfort on
the Sabbath!

What the Port of Pasoagoula
needs most of all is a first-class
hotel on the beach. We have the
finest beach on the gulf coast but
no accommodation for the visitors and
until we can be fitted up to enter
tain the visitors we can't conscient-
ously ask them to come. Some of our
monied men, or men who have
something at stake, would do well TO
form a stock company for the build
ing and operation of first-class
hotel. There are a number of peo-
pie who had rather come here than
90 anywhere else to spend the sum-

they can't get the right kind of ac-
comodation. Think it over and if
we can be of any help to you let US

Can VS. Can't.

we Clip the IOllOWlllg lIoil tilC
Mobile Register and think that the
people of the Port Of Pascagoula
would do well to follow the example
of Memphis instead of Randolph.
Get busy and boost. Reach out
after the railroads, we need them
and they need us, but as there are
number of towns, more towns
than railroads we will have to reach
out and get them. Offer them sui
ficient inducements to come to US.
We have the deep water, the dock
ing facilities, and wharf room. All
we need is the railroad.
There is tradition that is accepted
along the Mississippi that Randolph,
in Upton county, Tennessee, was
once as big a city as Memphis, in
Shelby county, same state. Ran
dolph was every bit as well located
as Memphis, Just above the second
Chicasaw bluffs, amply protected
against high water and overflow,
and with a rich country behind it.
To-day, Randolph hardly is a port
of call for steamboats,, has but one
store and livery stable, and some
cottages on the hill, while Memphis
is one of the largest and llvest cities
of the South, and has population
of over 10000.
Taken together, and in comparl-
son, Randolph and Memphis offer
convincing proof that the people
make the cities.
Geographical location has much
influence, but it will not unaided
make city, whereas men have
made cities where every possible
natural obstacle eXisted-on the
mud islands of the Adriatic Sea, for
example.
Upton people trusted to the river,
which had been and was the main
avenue of commerce in the Western
world. Memphis people reached
out and got railroad. That was
the difference. Memphis trusted to
the river as faithfully as Randolph,
but did not put all its eggs in one
basket. The railroads ate up the
river commerce; and Randolph
dwindled and died.
1t is the people who build cities;
and the method employed is Enter
prise: the finding and developing OF
some thing new; in short-PuSh!
There is no city that can dispense
with push. Some places may be
50 situated as to live and make a
certain progress, despite of absence
of enterprise; but the full faculty OF
A community cannot have play un-
less there is vigorous spirit OF
enterprise, a desire and willingness
to 90 ahead, and to be not simply |
up to the average but ahead of the
date, leader, a pathfinder.
Memphis is growing to-day by |
caps and bounds. Everybody is
talking of Memphis, 1t is the peo-
pie up there. They are very much
alive. and are dniuu thinpS

BIG 'TATER SUPPLY.
indications Are for Large Yields of
Spuds Over Extensive Area. B

All of the headlines over reports re-
ferring to potatoes in the current issue
Of The Packer indicated big crops of
potatoes in different parts of the coun-
try and If abundance means ow prices,
as 1t most assuredly does with the in
evitable rule of supply and demand,
then, potato growers in the Red river
valley should act accordingly and here
with The Forum gives the substance
of what the reports say:
In California the crop of potatoes
has been SO abundant that many
have been unable to dispose
Of their stocks. Near Los Angeles
hundreds of sacks which were spelling
on the fields were distribution free to
the needy by one institution.
A wire from Stockton, Cal, under
date Aug. 16 says it is estimated that
the Islands alone will produce 5000, 900
sacks of potatoes this year. As the
Weld cannot be used in the state, the
railroads will be asked to give an
emergency rate to other points. 1t Is
thought the surplus will be marketed
in Texas.
Growers at Spencerport, N. Y, re-
port a big crop of potatoes and that
the acreage is Is to 20 per cent larger
than last year. Shipping will begin
about Oct. 1.
Last week the New York potato mar
ket opened very weak, $50 to So for
Jersey Giants and 1920 to s2.35 per
barrel for CobOlers with best fancy
large stock at $40 to $3.50. However,
there is practically non which will
command these figures. Receipts were
heavy and Tuesday the market showed
further weakness with Giants selling
from $1.85 to $3.50, and Cobblers un-
changed at 1920 to $2.35. The supply
has been heavy and apparently ex-
ceeded the demand, the result being
| shown by the weakness of the market.
Norfolks sold at SITE and Eastern
Shores. which are coming green, 81 to
1925 barrel.
The British potato crop this year

Cobblers. The homegrown potatoes
brought here in wagons by nearby
growers are in active demand and the
market rules firm. These potatoes are
bringing from SIS to rs cents a bushel
in wagon loads.
At Chicago prices dropped to So to 68
cents per busliel on Early Ohios, and
shove signs of going lower gradually
as the season advances Eastern Cob
biers sold at SO to 80 cents and home
grown 8%O-pound sacks brought rs to 80
cents, depending on quality. The re-
auction in prices came as the result OF
q fair accumulation on track. De-
company of educated horses, Miss

enough to creat much excitement.
Thursday the market was weaker, Min

at IS to SO cents. Receipts were thirty
cars.
1t is said that the famous American
Bottoms potato section in Illinois is
giving up potato culture and big grow
ers say that a few years more will see
the passing of the Bottoms as a COM
mercial potato growing section.
