Un ted States with 167,529 depositors, is at least the price of an evening paper.
 The Comptrollew's report is the usual fat volume consisting chiefly of figures. But, at that, some of these figures are quite interesting espec ally for the banks.
 The Comptroller informs us that the volume of business in this country has increased over last year to the eXtent of millions of dollars.
 The transactions of the 151 Clear ing Houses, for the current year end- all of whom were school children. At one time there was over three million dollars on deposit in these banks but on the first of this year the gfegate deposit only amounted to $90S,4S0.47.
 But when the holidays were just over the children had withdrawn their savings to buy presents. In regard to the smaller s zed bank notes the report makes the following interesting statement:
 "The Secretary of the Treasury has approved plan for systematizing l the designs of the United States notes, coin certificates and nat onal bank notes. 1t is the purpose to makes the notes more artistic and at the same tme to give them added security in the circumvention of ounterfeiting. The number of de- signs will be reduced from 19 to 9. The change determined upon will re- | duce the number of plates necessary to print national bank notes from i 200 to 2G0 thus affecting an econ- ] cmy, not only in the pr nting of the notes but a saving to the banks in- 'terested.
 "The reduction in size of the notes Twill enable the storage capacity of the department and bank vaults to be increased about 9 per cent, and 1t is believed that with the reduction n size the folding of notes, to a certain extent will be obviated resulting in their greater longevity.
 'The length of time required to offset the changes in designs and sizes of notes is stated at about Is months.'

LOUISIANA LOU

The efforts of two pairs of young ,oyers to outwit their elders by mak- no use of the fun and g3yety of the Mardi- Gras festival form the minor ron,ance of Louisiana Lou, wh oh will be seen at the Elks tomorrow nieht. This is the first time the famous ante-Lenton carnival of the rrescent City-a carnival that takes
 +be hundreds of thousands of visitors there every year-has been put upon
 The stage.
 Ire authors of Louis an Lou" did

 color simply with view of being ,,iatura sque. Their plot is so entwln- oil with the MardiGrss m2s six TBS and fun that it will readily be seen
 vhy the Chicago critics have heaped
 Meh praise upon Louisiana Lou as
 play as we'll as in it's aspects as a | q
 show.
 Lou sa-Lou and Jack Konkarney
 have been betrothed since childhood
 as sentimental reflection Of the
 warm friendship between Jacob Lid
 offski. Lousa-Lou's fo'ster-fatheT, and Roderlck Konkarney, Jack $ dad. But the children will otherwise. She
 gtows up beautiful grl, and be- Heyes that old Lidoffski is her real
 father. Jack is a fine big fellow, hut finds himself, on the very eve of his wedding, deeply ill love with Della Fair, who is really his aunt by
 marriage, although she is a girl of r years.
 i Louisa-Lou has met in Paris, where she was at school, Nixon Holme, lacks chum and buisness partner and fallen in love with him, as Nixon wi h her. But the latter says nothing n
 the matter, believing that his pal, Jack loves Louisa-Lou. It is wllen
 all four lesrn that he game of cross
 purposes played by Fate need not be
 carried out if they be wise and active
 that the plot to outwit the parents be-
 gins Jack is chosen king of the . Mard .-Gras through the influence of
 Konkarney and Lidoffski, Who natu-
 rally expect him to make Lou his
 queen. But Jack passes the official

SCOTTISH DRINK AND CRIME
Striking Commentary on Action of
House Of Lords in Defending the
Liquor interest.

The recent publication in Great Bri-
tain of the official Report Of the Ju-
dicial Statistics of Scotland" affords a
striking commentary on the action OF
the house of lords in defending the
liquor interest against the interests OF
the public The report says: THE
100000 persons charged with drunken
ness and disorder, arising in the form
er entirely from the abuse of alcohol
and In the latter mainly SO, provide
the great bulk of the work for the
constabulary and the courts.
But it has been found that drink is
an important factor in the causes OF
more serious crimes. The bulk of
assaults is brought about by it, and 1t
Is the common explanation of $50 SEN
fences for cruelty to children. About
so per cent. of charges for murder and
culpable homicide arise from intoxica-
ton. But the influence of drink ex-
tends into other classes of crimes
which are not generally supposed to
be affected by 1t. From five different
careful Investigations made amongst
persons guilty Oh CIlluCS d6dAuOt PAOP-
erty, 1t has been found that in so per
cent of them the criminal was not
sober at the time of committing the
offence. Teetotalers in this class rare
ly exceed six or eight per cent. of the
whole"
Among other items of interest in the
report is the statement that owing to
the larger number of prosecutions for
serious offenses the average daily
number of persons in custody in the
prisons was higher than In any pre-
vious year. There were 25S children
under sixteen years Of age committed
but a large reduction vas expected
In this number under the children's
act going into force In April. 1909 I'm
der the probation Of offenders act.
passed 1907, there were 2.510 persons
who were dealt with. and the COM
plant is made that the act is not fully
taken advantage of in Scotland.

SOLDIERS HOME.
COMMITTEE TELLS OF IT'S TRIP TO
BEAUvOIR.
Says it Would Be Hare to End Better
Home or One Better
Managed

Jackson--The Senate Committee on
Pensions have prepared the following re
port of their trip to Beauvoir:
To the Senate and House of Repre-
seRtatives of the State of Mississippi
We, the undersigned joint committee
on pensions, spent January the 26th
and 27th, 1912, visiting Beauvoir, that
historic spot on Mississippi's Southern
coast. Once the home of the only presi
dent of the Confederacy, than which
there is no more lovely or beautiful spot
on American soil, it is veritabIe para
disc on earth.
Your committee visited in body
this home for our old Confederate sol
diers. We met in the assembly hall and
proceeded to organize by electing H. A.
Bradshaw chairman and j. W. Spencer
secretary.
The committee went into executive
session and the superintendent of the
home was called before the committee
to make report as to the condition of
report, to-wit: Condition of the home,
excellent; health of inmates, good, and
the truthfulness of these statements
was verified by personal investigation
by your committee afterward.
There has been some complaint in re-
gard TO the management of the home.
Your committee Investigated these COM
plants and found them to be without
good cause.
In regard to the Leonard matter.
He was never received as a regular in
mate of the home, and was dismissed
because of INSTRUMENTATION. Your COM
mittee heard the complaints of Mr..
Bullock and his wife, and the same
were not well founded.
AT present there are one hundred
and eighty-fve inmates of the home,
with room for just a few more.
Quite number of the dear old men
expressed themselves as being con-
tented and happy.
To sum up: Your committee thinks
it would be hard to find better home
of the kind or one so well managed.

DRINK HABIT IS ON DECLINE
Old Type OF HaiI-FelIow, Well Met.
Whose First Thought Was "Take
Drink" Rapidly Passing.

The most lasting advance that Ia
0eing made in temperance comes from
the economic side, the recognition by
employers, and especially those hand
ling public service corporations. that
they cannot afford to employ men who
drink liquor. The Northwestern Ele-
waited railroad OF Chicago, for example,
recently posted the following notice:
mo employe is allowed to use liquor
in any form when on duty and no en-
ploye will be allowed to work when
there is any indication that he has
used liquor In any form before coming
to work. and the smell of liquor about
him will be sufficient. Employees who
are noted as having used liquor when
on or OF duty. or who are found to fire.
quent saloons when OF duty. will be
deemed habitual users of liquor and
are subject to dismissal from the serv-
ice- Employees who go into saloons
when on duty In any capacity viii be
discharged"
This sets forth the policy that is in
force on every railroad entering Chi
cago-and everywhere else, for that
matter-while thousands OF manufac-
turing establishments and stores take
the same position In effect. either
through printed rules or the well-un-
derstood attitude of the firm or cor
poration.
What is true of Chicago applies gen.
orally throughout the business world.
The old type of hail-fellow well met
commercial traveller. whose first
thought was to take drink" is rap
idly passing. There are few of them
left capable of attracting custom, who
are tolerated because of long service.
but the young men entering on that
line of work either cut out liquor for
themselves or are compelled by their
employers to do so. One does not have
to be very old to have witnessed an
amazing revolution in this matter. 1t
is one of the marks of uplift that the
observer OF open mind can notice In
American life all along the line. The
pessimists need to look around them
and cheer up; the old world is getting
better year by year

This is the patriotic association of
business men of the entire state who
are endeavoring to advertise Missis-
sippi, and who are responsible for Mis-
sissippi's having one of the finest ex-
hibits of any of the states at the Chi
cago land show last fall. The asso-
citation has nothing to sell and is not
booming any particular section; it had
its inception in the statewide immi-
grafton convention held at Jackson
three years ago, and has been growing
I'm strength and usefulness ever since.

Jackson Blakeslee has
just received from Industrial Agent and
Commissioner J. C. Clair of the Illinois
Central, at Chicago, a list of the Missis-
sippi boys who were awarded pure bred
pigs as premiums for excellence in corn
growing last year. The list includes
the names of boys in thirty-five counties
in the state trayersed by the railway
system.
Commissioner Clair authorizes the fur
Their statement that the company which
he represents viii award prizes for the
best pair of pure bred pigs from these
males sent the Mississippi boys, these
pigs to be shown at the 1912 Mississippi
State Fair.
The prizes will be awarded as follows:
First prize, 800; second prize, $50;
third prize, $35.
Commissioner Blakeslee states that
the Illinois Central has been very liberal
in its efforts to help in the develop
ment of the agricultural, horticultural
and live stock resources of the state,
and thus aiding the people to circumvent
the Dol weevil. The announcement OF
these prizes is expected to be very
stimulating in its effect.
