POINCARE Will
Spend SALARY
FRENCH PRESIDENT EXPECTS TO
SAVE NOTHING DURING SEW
EN-YEAR TERM.
(By Associated Press.)


Paris, March 22.-President Poin-
care has made up his mind to spend,
as fast as he receives 1t, every penny
of his presidential income of s24O,OOO
a year. Then, at the end Of his seven
year term he will return without saw
ings to. earn 5bis liying as a. lawyer.
A total income during the term Of Of
flee of nearly $1,7o0,000 has given op-
portunity to previous French Presi'
dents to lay aside snug sum against
the time when they retire to private
life, but even, this commendable thrift
does not enter into the plans of the
new President of the French republic
M. Poincare expressed this deter
mination to be- lavish in his expendi
lures to a lawyer friend a few days
ago. His friend thought this was rath
er unwise, and pointed out to the
President that his private means were
not large.
What will you do, If you don
save anything, when you are no long
er President" he asked.
"Do?" answered M. Poincare, "why
work, of course. Mr.. Taft is going t.
become a professor at Yale when h
leaves the White House; why shoul
not | put on my advocates cow
again?"

URGED.
TO COOPERATE
JOHN F. MCKAY GIVES VALUABLE
ADVICE IN LECTURE AT AGRl-
CULTURAL HIGH SCHOOL.

There was a good attendance of
farmers at the meeting held at the
Forrest County High school yesterday
for the purpose of hearing John F..
Mckay discuss the problem of mar
keting crops.
Mr.. Mckay urged the farmers to
consider that in the sale of farm prod
ucts they must realize that no large
business can be done unless the pro-
ducer is willing to accept the market
price. He said that what a bushel OF
potatoes or a gallon of syrup may
bring when sold to housewife in the
city is, no criterion for market.
The thing for the farmers to do is
raise in sufficient quantities to make
it possible for wholesalers to handle
their produce and then be willing to
learn what the market price is an6
accent that. Cooperation betweer
farmers in assembling their product
in car lots is essential where the in
| dividual is unable to offer car lots.
Mr.. Mckay urged the students o
the Agricultural High school to do al
possible to raise strawberries an
Irish potatoes. This he said, woul
lessen their expense at school an
would also enable them to supply Ha
tiesburg with a part of its needs l

Mr.. Paisley has his suspicion as to
the occasion of the attempted raids
on his house and is convinced that
there are two parties conspiring to-
gether to rob his premises. He ex
presses a regret that no dogs were
available for use in pursuing the night
