FOR LARGER NAVAL BASE.
Treaty Signed by Representatives of
United States and Cuba.

A treaty providing for the enlargement
of the United States naval base at
Guantanamo, Cuba, was signed at Ha-
vana to-day by United States Minister
Beaupre and Secretary of State Sanguillv.
By the terms of the treaty. the United
States sHrrenders its rights to establish
a naval station at Bahia Honda, on the
north coast of Cuba. in exchange for the
added territory at Guantanamo. In adj
dition. the annual fee which the United
states pays to Cuba for the use of the
Guantanamo Bay site is increased from
5000 to 5000.
The chief purpose of the United States
in seeking the enlargement of the
Guantanamo station was to acquire a
good water supply. This is accomplished
by the treaty signed to-day, which ex-
tends the boundaries of the station to
include a small river to the eastward
of Guantanamo Bay.

The Southern Farm Home is the
name of new agricultural paper pub
lished at Jackson, Miss, finding its
way to our exchange table, with our
esteemed friend, Ed Blakeslee, down
as it's editor. 1t seems to be a lineal
descendant of the Bulletin, Jackson,
and the Southern Farm Gazette.
Starksville, the former of while b
sleeps the sleep that knows no awak-
ening, while the latter has removed
to another state and more nurturing
cline. That Blakeslee can get up a
splendid paper of most any kind he
turns his trained talents to, goes
without saying. and we must assert
that this new child of his is a peach
in its line. It's addressing itself
to a task much needed and seems to
be meeting the requirements all O.
X. May it survive and its work do
much for the agricultural interests of
this great State of ours.

After such downpours OF rains,
which seem to be letting up, and the
sun seeding down his bright rays IN
favor Of the farmer, which brings
about great delight TO The tiller Of
the soil, we should be very thankful
to our heavenly Father. yet we are

Comments Wilson to MIssIssippIans.

Meridian Daily Dispatch.
On May z, the white democrats of
Lauderdaie county will be given a
chance at each voting precinct in the
county to express their choice for
president of the United States, be-
cause it is believed that the demo
cratic nominee is going to be elected
this year. The choice of the people
should be, and The Dispatch believes
will be, Gov. Woodrow Wilson, Of
New Jersey.
The politicians of the state of both
factions have lined up for Congress
man Oscar w. Underwood. of Alaba-
ma, who stands no more chance Of
nomination than man does who is
rot a candidate, for 6here is not a sin
gle northern, eastern, western state
that has spoken for HMM fact Ala
bama is the only state for him SO far.
The fact that only the names OF Har-
mon or Clark are being used in states
where the one or the other is suppos-
ed to be stronger than Wilson shows
that a combination has been made to
defeat the choice Of the people.
Wilson is one of the most accom-
plished and scholarly statesmen in
the Whole country. He is with the
masses, and one of the first things
he did in New Jersey after becoming
governor was to break up the Smith
political machine He is vide awake
aud progressive and his nomination
means success at the polls.
1t is argued that Underwood is a
Southern man. So is Wilson; more
so than Underwood. for the latter was
born IN Kentucky and Wilson was
born IN Virginia and lived his boy
hood days ia Georgia. He married
a Georgia lady. He is more South
ern than Under wood. He is q patri-
OF, the choice of the people eyerx~
where, but is opposed BY political
rings and combines. Lauderdale
county should vote for Wilson.

More Farmers Are Badly Needed.

Wavnosboro News Beacon.
When one considers the high price
of all that man eats and wears, it is
natural conclusion to wonder where
it will all end. It was alright for
everybody when the products Of the
soil or the labor of a mans hand or
bis brain, were high, and employment
was plentiful, but the day is dawning
when these good old things are pass
ing and everything looks like a sea-
son of anything but prosperous times
for the man who lives out of the
grocers yellow paper bags.
When everything that man ate
or put on his back, was cheap it did
not matter much if a man was unem-
ployed for a brief period, because he
could live cheaply and q little reserve
fund went a long ways, but today it
is different. When man is out of a
job now, it does not take long to put
his reserve fund to the bad.
This IS used to show the indepen-
dence Of the farmer and the necessi-
ty of more men engaging in farming

the ticket for delegates at-large, aud
only the names of Oscar Underwood
and Woodrow Wilson will be voted
on for President. From this district
Leroy Percy. w Gardner, ]. T..
Haley, and Walton Shields are can
didates for delegates, and there may
be other aspirants for the honor
The indications are that the vote will
be the smallest ever cast in Missis-
sippi. owing to the fact that everv-
body will be too busy with their
crops on the date of the primary to
turn out to the polls and vote, 1t is
important, however, that all who can
should vote in this election and send
our ablest and best men to the Ma

Why Not Call it Mississippi Syrup?

Southern Farm Home, Jackson.
1t has become a common practice
to label syrup made in Mississippi
from sugar cane, Louisiana syrup. I
This has been generally done to dis
tinguish the syrup made from sugar
care. Sorghum is extensively grown
and is commonly called sorghum. T"
The suggestion is now, that syrup
made FROM sugar cane be called and
labeled, Mississippi Syrup That
the excellence Of our product will es-
tablish for it a market that will be
better than if it were the regular
Louisiana quality. Ours is d pure
syrup, with nothing in the way of
sugar extracted, while the Louisiana
product from the large mills is minus
the greater portion of the sugar.

The Swat the Fly" Slogan Good One
Woodville Republican.

Woodville Republican,
Now that winter is gone, are you
ready for summer? How about the
screens and other precautions against
against the fly? Somehow it seems
to us that the average man does not
appreciate fully the tremendous i'm
portance OF fly determination. The
fly is d creature of filth, born and
bred, : He carries disease and death
always on his person, 1t is said that
one fly can carry and deposit six mil
lions of bacteria. He is the arch en-
envy of health, the emissary of dis
ease. During this summer of poll
tics, when every stump will ring
with political slogans, why not join
that determined body of patriots
whose creed is not elect me to Office
and save the people, but. rather,
Swat the fly. In so doing, more
can be done toward conserving this
nation than will ever be accomplished
by political slogans or "Houn dawg'
songs.
