1t Looked That Way.

friends at an afternoon gathering
recently: william came home
the other night with just a little
more of something or other than

when he stood beside the bed

him what was the matter. Moth

We have been surprised a few
times to find $4,000 lying on the
side of the road in one of our
promident business farmers field
and more so to find that it had
lain there since July of last
year unmolested and beginning
to look a little the worse from the
exposure. The money was in the
shape of two cultivators and a
hay rake that will have to be re-
placed by new ones before many
wears unless cared for better than
that.

The Dripping Watts the Trick
To Eradicate the Cattle Tick i.

The Tupelo Journal desires to
submit to the farmers of Lee
county some statistics on tick
eradication as furnished by the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture. from the Bureau of An
imal Industry.
First. Tue approximate annual
loss of cattle from tick fever in
Lee county from 1900 to 1909, In
elusive, was Is per cent, with a
loss annually in value in Mlssls-
sippi of 50, 1872. 900.
Second. Since the government
has endorsed the eradication of
ticks from the state, the loss has
been reduced from Is per cent to
l Ito per cent.
Third. The increase in value
of three-year-old steers by the
eradication shows SIS per cent,
with an average increase of
10 per cent. .
Fourth. The state had an an
nual loss of III, 600 head of cattle
from tick fever, which has been
reduced to 10000, with a saving
in value to the state of So, 238,
900 a year, and has increased the
value of the cattle in hand, by
virtue of the gain in weight and
price, $4,000, 900.
The farmers should be awake
to the new conditions, and begin
to know more about this import
ant question, for certainly with a
saving of about two and a quar-
ter millions of dollars to the peo-
ple of this state from the loss
they are now sustaining, the SUBJ
ject deserves thorough study and
intelligent action.
You can inform yourselves by
addressing the Bureau of Animal
Industry of the Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. c.,
or the A. & M. College, Starf-
vile, Miss, both of which will
send full information.
The work which has been done
by the United States and by our
state cannot be minimized in its
Importance, and should be con-
tinued with increased vigor, with
a view of giving every intelli-
gent farmer in Mississippi thor
>augh information upon the sub
ject.
1t is to be regretted that our
present legislature has seen fit to
reduce the appropriations from
5000 to $4,000 for the prose-
cution of this work in this state,
for if there is any class of people

CHURCH SERVICES
 HELD YESTERDAY
Stirring Sermons at the conare- gational Church Sum-
 day

The audiences we'll filled the Congregational church both morning and evening yesterday. The pastor, Rev. Johnson, preach ed at both services. His morn ing subject was, "A Comforting EXhortatiOn," and was based on the words: Fear not, little flOck," etc.--Luke xii:32. He re- marked that the Christian life was not an easy one. There had to be confronted trial, temptations and difficulties. Any weakling could do wrong and live to gratify his own senses and desires, but it required great determination and faith to live for Christ today as or old. To do so there must be no giving way to fear, which was slarish anal invited defeat. Fear not, but trust, for (hc great and good Father had assumed the certainty of His kingdom"
 At night the pastor gave a stir ring sermon from the words: His heart was moved within Him when He seen the city given wholly to ldolatry. ."--Act xvii:16. He de- scrihcd St. paul's zeal and un- dauntcd courage after his cOnvrr- sion. The violent opposition and persecution he met; driven from country tO country, from city To i city, yet preaching the gospel ev- crywhcrc, winning converts and establishing churches. He ably described his flight to Athens, the capital of Greece. His distress of heart as he saw the great city of culture and philosophy wholly given to idOlatry. It was evident that education did not nccessar- lily imply evangelism; that was self-evident today. What were the moral and spiritual conditions of our great modern cities--indred, what was the moral condition of your own town, Valdez?
 Rev. Johnson deprecated the condition of the place. The low tone, the tolerance apparrnily given to the most loathsome vices, the appalling dissertation of the Sabbath day; the universal in- difference to vital Christianity and the drplorablc influence this all had upon the young and rising generation.
 The service was rnIiyrnrd by the orchestra and choir. Mrs. kinSman Swcctly sang lrh solo, "It Is We'll With My Soul"

 0F LEAP YEAR
Report That Young Men WilI Let Ladies Buy the Tickets
 to the Ball

There is rumOr that the young men are going to avail themselves of their leap year privilege and insist that the ladies buy the tickets to the Eagles ball on Wednesday evening next.
 They are evidently figuring on going the limit in supporting their favOrites in the Belle of the Ball voting contest or are saving up tO capture some of the handsome and useful prizes which will be rallied off at midnight at the dance.
 The ladies are busy preparing fancy costumes about which great secrecy is preserved and not few of the men have been seen with suspicious looking parcels. The contests for the prizes will be keen and the judges are sure to have difficulty in making their decisions.
 Two new names have been add ed tO the contest and there is a rum0r that others are being held back until the last day. Miss Studler is again in the lead but several others are pressing her score hard. Much will depend on the votes cast the last day of the contest. Following is the stand ing of the favOriics this morn ing:

COOPERATIVE CREDIT FOR FARMERS.

@AUR government has never done anything to promote the
wv social welfare of the agricultural class and help farmers
to solve some of their economic problems. The state de
partment is now receiving through its diplomatic service reports
from Europe relative to the operation of the system of farmers
cooperative credit In the different countries. 1t is a fact that,
while our government has paid no attention whatever to this
system, it is well established even in Russia and in such remote
provinces as Siberia and Turkestan. The Russian government
now has about $4,000 900 invested in the system, and is extend
ing it. There are in Russia ten thousand farmers cooperative
societies, with a membership averaging 500 each. The conditions
in Russia are different from our own, and the general features
of the Russian system would have no application in the United
States, but it's principle can be adopted in ways to meet the needs
Of American farmers. That the cooperative credit system will
be established in the United States, now that it's merits are
understood, is inevitable. But strange that we should go to Rus
STA to take such a lesson in economics!

YOUNG MEN AT SUMMER RESORTS.

oa HE dearth of young men at the summer resorts, while they
are crowded with the fair sex, is a familiar complaint,
which has been heard for years, and no remedy has been
suggested. A hotelkeeper on the California coast has now
evolved an idea. He advertises board at one1ffth the regular
rates to presentable young men who will do cavalier duty at his
hotel. The originator of this scheme reasons that young men
are kept away from the resorts by the hotel charges, which, as
ii rule. is not true. The average man does not relish summer
resort iding for weeks, away from his business and the attrac
tions of the city. He finds life insipid at the summer resorts
and is well enough content with an experience of it over Sunday.
Nor would the classes of young men to be attracted by board at
oneffth the usual rates be of a kind to grace a hotel or edify
its female guests.

MEAT TRUST "DLSSOLVED."

ea HE announcement that the meat barons have "dissolved'
I'll their trust and will hereafter do business on the plan of
reorganization of the Standard Oil and tobacco trusts will
not bring much cheer to the consumer. 1t should rather fill
him with some anxiety when he recalls the fact that "dissoiu-
ton in the case of Standard Oil resulted in a big boost in oil
and gasoline prices and the sudden enrichment of Standard Oil
by about 5000. 10000 AS a "dissolved" and reorganiZed combi-
nation the meat trust will be in perfect harmony with the anti
trust law as interpreted by the Supreme Court and by Attorney
General Wickersham. So it will be exempt from prosecution. 1t
is the form of organization and not the robbery of the people
that this Interpretation contemplates. The Standard Oil Com
pany,s monopoly methods have not changed one iot and it's
exactions have increased, the tobacco trust is doing business in
the same way at the old stand, and meat will continue to be an
expensive luxury, and probably even more expensive, since the
robbery is legahzed.

FIFTY CENTS MORE FOR SHOES.

m n advance in the price of shoes next fall of fifty cents is
an promised, the manufacturers generally being responsible
for this increase. The present prices for shoes are reason
able, and, as a rule, the cheaper grades of shoes are well made
and durable. AS far as footwear is concerned, there has been
no outcry about high prices. A good pair of shoes is within
reach of the humblest purse. But a jump of fifty cents in shoe
prices will be severely felt and will be resented. To the wage
Garner it practically means a taking away of part of his wage.
To people of small incomes it will be a deprivation. coming on
top of other sacrifices they are compelled to make. And will not
that fifty cents increase in the cost of footwear have its effect
in the national election?
