NEW YORK, April 22.-From
statements recently made by Charles
NJ. Schwab, president of the Bethle-
hem Steel Corporation, it is inferred
his negotiatins with China for the
building of new navy was success
full. Mr.. Schwab said China would
begin the construction of a new navy
as soon as her internal affairs were
more settled, and most of the ships
will be built in the United States.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-The
House naval committee agreed to
report favorably a bill authorizing
the expenditure of a million dollars

timer has succumbed to the rigors
and trials of this Northland. Benja-
min Muenscher is the latest victim.
During part of January last he was
employed to carry the mail over a
portion of the Copper River &
Northwestern Railway, at the time
when the snow rotaries were out Of
commission and the trains could not
run through because of the accumu-
Iation of snow on the track. By rea-
son of the exposure Muenscher was
partially frozen. He has been wor-
ried over this fact and feared that
he would lose his eyesight. On last
Wednesday his mind seemed to give
way and he wandered from the town.
Searching parties were sent out and
the dead body of the unfortunate
man was found on the beach west of
Swanitzville, yesterday. There was
every evidence that he had commit
ted suicide by shooting himself.
There is much sympathy for him in
the town, as he was a hard working
man and fayorably known.
A coroner's jury held an inquest
over the body of Muenscher and
this morning rendered a verdict that
the deceased had committed suicide
while he was temporarily insane.

that was of most importance to this
section of the state, and for the settle
ment of which Mr.. Minor is to be given
almost entire credit, was the putting an
end to the clamor for a constitutional
convention by satisfying South Mississ-
ippi with her apportionment of repre-.
sentation. The holding of a constitu-
tional convention could be done only at
great expense to the state, and the
real purpose, should it be called would
be the reduction of our proportion of
the school fund. as. we'll as our. repre-
sentation in the legislature.
Besides what has been stated. through
out the whole session Mr.. Minor has
been one of the hardest worked men,
bers of the House, and, knowing his
ability and willingness, it is needless
to say his work was we'll done.
Mr.. Minor has made the people a
model representative and one they ought
to be proud of, and he has shown be-
yond question that when given The op-
psrtunity he will fully perform every
honorable duty imposed upon him by
his constituents.

AS TO CORN MAKING.

Prominent trade journals call a t.
tention to the fact that the Argen.
tine Republic is short nearly 145,
600, 600 bushels of corn for home
needs, and that there is positive
evidence of general world shortage
before the next harvest. The warn
ing to all to not only plant corn
but give it the attention that as
sures corn, is too loud and plain
to be misunderstood. We have
reached the point in scientific and
practical agriculture where the
making ola corn crop is considered
practicable under any circumstan-
ces, unless thwarted by floods,
hail storms or other phenomenal
causes, and the time is not far dis
tant when the farmer who fails to
make his home supplies will find it
impossible to obtain a loan under
conditions that will admit of his
continuing in the business. -Aber-
deem Examiner.

That the voters of Noxubee county

denced almost every day by the reports
of the proceedings printed in the daily

ted by the Code Commissioners to index
the Code. and in doing that work he

bis ability became known. In organic
ing the present legislature. Speaker

mittee on Local and Private Legislation
and ranking member on Constitution.
His minority report on Judiciary bill,

of the committee to put the number of
districts in the state back where it was
four years ago, opened the eyes of the
people throughout the whole state, as
we'll as the other members of the legis-
lature, to the extent that the bill was
reconsidered and, after a hard fought
battle. was killed. This alone should
cause the people of Noxubee county to

Hints for Mosquito determination.

l. Drain or fill in all pools
where possible. Mosqnitos must
have water to breed in, and,
therefore, by destroying the
breeding-places you will prevent
mosquitoes breeding.
2. Wrigglers frequently come
to the surface to breathe. if kero-
sene is spread over the surface,
the air supply is shut off and they
die of suffocation. Therefore, in
the North from April LIST, to Oct.
l. Qonger South.)
Treat with oil all standing wa
ter which cannot be drained,
screened or filled, once in three
weeks Zone ounce of oil will cover
fifteen square feet of surface.
1t must be so sprinkled or sprayed
as to entirely cover the surface
with a thin but unbroken film of
the oil. The oil does not affect
the water for use, if the water is
drawn from below by a spigot
from a barrel or pipe from a
pond.
8. In using oil for small areas,
pour it on the water, or use a
hand syringe; for large unrippled
areas, use sprayer. Grass and
rubbish in water prevents oil
spreading and should be first re-
moved.
4. Empty the water from all
tubs, buckets, cans, flower-pots,
vases, watering troughs, fountain
basins, etc., once week. Bury
all old cans and rubbish, or fix
them so that they cannot hold
water. Change regularly every
week all water needed in chicken
coops, kennels. etc. Such receipt
acles must be washed out clean.
5. Fill in or drain not only
all pools, but also bitches and
various excavations, as post
holes, Minneapolis, cow-tracks
in wet pasture, etc.---(A. C. A.

In an interview favoring the
nomination of Oscar Underwood
as the Democratic candidate for
President, Maj. Vardaman declares
that the paramount issue before
the people is the tariff question.
The major also goes on record as
favoring the initiative, referendum
and recall, especially the recall of
judges, and thinks that while
these proposed reforms will hardly
figure as issues in the coming cam
paign it might be advisable to
have q plank in the issues in the
National platform declaring for
them. All this is very interest
ing, but what the large body of
Mississippi voters who supported
him in his two last campaigns
would like to know is, what about
that prominently paramount issue
trsnscending and overshadowing
all other issues, the repeal of the
18th amendmentf In the campaign
against John Sharp Williams the
major worked himself into such Q
state of frenzy in discussing that
issue that he promised never to
make aspeech in Senate, if elected,
without demanding the repeal Of
that amendment. Now in an in
terview he not only does not all
Jude TO it as the paramount issue
but does not even seem to see the
need of having the party platform
declare in favor Of its repeal. Yet
conditions are just the same in
Mississippi now Major Vardaman,
as when you were q candidate for
Office.
