CLEAN UP CAMPAIGN
Bringing RESULTS

Mr. Buckner, of the committee ap-
pointed by the Commercial Club to
cooperate with the city authorities in
cleaning up the streets and alleys of
the city before the meeting Of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Fires, has
been making the rounds of the bust
ness section in company with Mr..
Inerarity. the sanitary officer, and al
ready good results are noted. It is
suggested that people having consid-
erable waste matter to be hauled off
by the street wagon, have the boxes
on which the trash is placed made
with covers. This will make the clean
up work easier and prevent the trash
from being scattered about the streets
and alleys.

COTTON SEED ONCE
CONSIDERED USELESS

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 16.-Advertis-
ing for cotton seed at so much per
bushel, custom now in vogue, is
causing comment among old-timers in
Mississippi who remember when the
seed was considered of no value and
often dumped upon the creek banks as
a useless and valueless article.
For years, even when seed was
scarce, a price per ton has been the
rule when the mills appealed to the
farmers for their surplus cotton seed,
but it almost gives the manufacturer a
chill to see competitors these days
advertising for the precious product
at the rate of forty-two cents per
bushel or thereabouts.
