vTV WO of the prettiest of many wide
brimmed hats are pictured here.
One is a pressed shape of hemp
faced with cnangeable silk and
bound with velvet. The crown is fin
ished with a fold OF velvet at the base.
Two long uncurled single ostrich
plumes repeat the two colors which
are blended in the silk. 1t is the
management of color that gives char
acter and beauty to this simple and
graceful shape. The shape of deep
lavender hemp is of the right shade
to harmonize with the facing of silk
which is gray, blue and rose woven
together. The feathers in blue-gray
and rose-gray combinations seem to
have been made expressly for this par
ticular hat. The narrow binding OF
velvet is in deep lavender.

model with much style. There is a
graceful variation in the width of the

am not springing any surprise or
speaking into startled ears, when | say
that serious fact confronts us in
Kansas and confronts you likewise in
Oklahoma; the fact established be-
yond peradventure OF doubt by long
astrous experience, that you cannot
grow Indian corn successfully and
probably upon a large proportion OF
our uplands. IL is inevitable, as |
believe, that the corn of the Red man
must disappear from your uplaEds in
Oklahoma as II has already disap-
peared from large acreas OF uplands in
many parts of Kansas, and in some
parts in particular.
The story Of Butler County, Kansas.
To get at my subject and illuminate
Il with the light OF actual experience, |
want to tell you the story OF Butler
county. Kansas. where | was born and
always lived and where | would like
TO live always, Notwithstanding the
celestial Inducements that are some
times held up before me- II took us
20 years TO find out In Butler county
that we could not raise Indian corn
on our prairies. From 1870 until 1890
our farmers tried in vain to grow In
dian corn on the uplands, hoping year
after year for good crop, but II only
came two or three times In the 20
years, Notwithstanding this long train
OF almost uninterrupted failures, many
of them still clung to the good old
corn OF their fathers, and IL is only
in the past few years that II has al
most completely disappeared from the
uplands. Farm after farm was prac-
tlcally abandoned. becoming only the
temporary abiding place Of some tran
silent tenant mortgage after mortgage
was foreclosed and land deprecated
tremendously.

with which this country has been
blessed for a decade and a half, but
you will observe that land In most
places has increased in no such ratio
as from SO to $50 or So to $50 per
acre. Our purely pasture land Is worth
$50 per acre. 1t will pay fair rate
of interest on that investment for
grazing purposes, and every dollar
above $50 per acre that has been
added to the value OF our uplands has
been put there by kafir corn.
Bank Deposits Increase.
In FL Dorado, the county seat. with
$500 people, the four banks had on
deposit at the close of the year 1911
the princely aggregate of $1,42S,433 and
all the banks In Butler county, with
$4,000 people, had aggregate deposits
at this time amounting to $2.726.-
S41.32. When | first entered the bank
ing business in El Dorado in 1896, at
time when the city had 500 more
people than at present, owing to the
removal of the Missouri Pacific shops
W NiShi'e % iS" SS"iS iNau' INC
total bank deposits of the town were
1867 100000 In round numbers. | do
not mean to say that all this increase
OF a million dollars is attributable to
kafir corn alone, as Butler county is
the first cattle county in KFpsas and
only third in alfalfa, and had last year
115,000 acres of Indian corn as against
100000 acres OF kafir corn. but what
| do mean to say is that without kafir
corn no such an increase or anything
like it would have been within the
range OF possibility.

AS intimated in an editorial in our
last issue on the judicial appointment
for this Circuit Court district, the
Herald rather expected a Favorite
Son from Greene to pop out in the
race and such has now materlalized.
Last Monday Mr. j. E. Alderman,
one of our able local lawyers, decided
definitely to contend for the appoint
ment and began securing home en-
dorsements. As soon as released
next week from professional duties
at Chancery Court, he will go into
the Upper part of the district seek
ing support. We wish him success.
Aspiring to the bench is worthy
ambition in any lawyer of promise.

Vital Statistics Legislation Needed.

Jackson Clarion Ledger.
During the present winter, Legis-
latures meet ia the States of Ken
lucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massa-
chusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey,
New York, Rhode Island, South Car
Dina and Virginia. In this list are
six States that can be classed as
Southern, and in four of these
Louisiana. Mississippi, South Caro-
lima and Virginia-there are no laws
bearing on the gathering of vital
statistics, and consequently no cor
rect way of ascertaining the exact
proportion of morality None of
these States have any provision for
the registration of births and deaths,
except in a few of the cities. and
these are enforced in a most unsat-
isfactory way.
| The Journal of the American Med
ical Association, In commenting on
the absence of such laws in these
States, says all four Of them are
| States, where on account of former
epldemIcs, reputation for good
health conditions should constitute a
most valuable asset.

The Boys Showing The Farmers.

Few of the older farmers of the
state realized what could be done on
one acre of ground until the bows
corn clubs we're organized and began
to produce results. Yields Of cotton
that were simply marvellous haEe
been reported from various parts OF
the state. Where fifteen or twenty
bushels grew before two hundred and
more have been grown. These big
Yields have been vouched for by re-
sponsible men who saw and measar-
ed the core. O course there are
fellows from Missouri, as the saying
goes, who will have to be shown be-
fore they will believe that two hun
dred bushels and better can be grown
on one acre. There are probably
others who would refuse to believe it
if they saw the ground and corn
measured, reminding one of the fa-
miliar story of the man who, going
to the circus for the first time, saw
giraffe, and after gazing intently at
the beast, turned away with the re-
mark, They amt 40 such animal.

Every man in Clarke county, who
is lover of law and order, will be
pleased to learn that a tidal wave of
petitions have gone and are still go
ing mp to the newly elected governor
asking for Judge Buckeyes reap
pointment.
These endors9ments are going
from ali over hiSaistrict and are as
strong as words can make them.
All who liye in the territory over
which Judge Buckley has jurisdic-
ton feel that no better selection
could be made.
He has proven himself terror to
evil-doers and he rarely eyer holds a
court that the fines do not more
than pay the expense of the terms.
In some of the counties presided
over by him crime has been placed
at a minimum and in the rest it has
been so IeSsened as to require but a.
bout bali the time to wipe up the
dockets.
Judge Buckley. upon his record
and merits, more than deserves an
other term and the Tribune hopes
that it will be an easy task and
pleasant duty for Coy. Brewer to
reappoint him.

man can marry in Pearl River coun-

a pair of razor backs and a $4,000
COW, and do wonders. He can raise
ten white-headed children, own an
automobile and control politics in his
beat. II that's enough to satisfy the
average Mississippian, we advise him
to go and join the Mexican army and
get shot. We've got no use for him

Leakesville has produced several
men who have gone out into the
world and acquired distinction. We
mention in this connection Pat Har-
rison as Congressman; r. E. Sheehy
as Chancellor of a neighboring dis
trict. And why not now a Circuit
Judge in the person of Hon. J. E.
Alderman of our devoted city who
worthily aspires to that honor and
tells us that it would be one Of the
GROWING ambitions of his life to sit
in that seat over the Court especially
in Greene the county of his adoption,
and Landerdale the county next bor-
dering his native county of Neshoba
and which has in it the Metropolitan

an. So we say go it J. E. for the

After mature consideration. our
townsman, Mr.. J e. Alderman has
decided to enter the lists for the ju-

Jno T.. Buckley, whose term expires
next August. Where the home man
has the capabilities aid his character

any chance we are always loyal in
our support that way. So in this
case we espouse the cause of Mr.. AL
derman SO long as he stays in the
race, and IN the event he should drop
out, our good wishes will return to
Judge Buckley, who has made a rec
ord for judicial administration the
district over which is hard to get
round. But usually the old political
axiom TO the Victor belongs the

true that such distrustful characters

revealed clearer truth to the hui

life and make it worth living and re-

them, not forgetting also to put in
ticks to that end. This people are a
happy people, comfortably fed and
housed and with a little extra energy
with the resourceful soil and favor

to lay aside the spare dollar and
build bank accounts. A cheerful

work wonders along this line.

ly true that the increase in worldly
