NEED BETTER EXCUSE.


a.
Claiborne county citizens can't
use the hook worm as an excuse
for laziness, when they find them
selves afflicted with that uncon'
querabie desire to spend the busy
days OF spring upon the banks OF
. neighboring brock angling for
the finny tribe. So far Claiborne
has lighter injection than any
county vet tested. Out OF q total
of 7a6 children examined in the
lower portion of the county, only
four we're found to be suffering
from hookworms. DR.. Dedwylder
considers this remarkable, and is
very much surprised at the result
of his inspection. However, ne
thinks it all the more important
that everybody be examined SO
that the few cases here may not
be allowed to infect the whole
county. He is soon to begin work
in the upper portion of the county.

gist, is spending a day or two at

been to Carrollton to inspect the

the premises of John Mabry, ia
farmer, ten miles north of that
little city. He found something
the matter all right, aud is at a
loss to explain the phenomenon.
Where there was well many
years AGO and which was filled up
because the water was not good,
the earth has been raised by some
internal power and from fssure

municipal rIconOmy.

Sumter, S. c., is leading the
world in municipal economy, be-
cause she has projected her city
government upon a strictly BUSH
ness basis, something after the
manner Of the more progressive of
the German cities. Sumter is in a
position where she can experiment.
With population of 10, she
can do what larger cities would be
afraid to undertake. She has
elected three commissioners, at
nominal salaries, who are to de-
vote part of their time 10 the at
fairs of the city, and these commits
sioners have employed what is
called the city manager, just as
they would employ manager for
a department store or for any other
business, and heis to conduct the
affairs of the city, with their advice
from time to time. If this mana
ger does not make good be can be
dismissed by the commissioners
without further ado, and someone
else employed in his place.
+
Economy in government is being
considered not only by towns and
cities, but by states as well. Gov.
Hodges, of Kansas, in special
message to the legislature of that
state, proposed to that body that
it should eliminate itself by amend
ing the constitution, and providing
for a commission to act in the
place of the two houses Of the leg
islature. Strange to say the prop
ositicn has been received in a
matter. of-fact way, even by the
ultra conservative communities. 1t
is realized that the time has come
when economy and efficiency in
government are most necessary
and desirable. Five or seven men
selected for ability and character
can do more in the matter of wise
Legislation than can be done by a
mob OF from IT'S to 400 raw re-
cruits, who know nothing about
the business or the wants of the
state, and who go to the state leg
islature to get what they can out
Of it by doing what they are told.

preserve Old Capitol Of Mlssls-
slppl.


Mississippi Division United
Daughters of the Confederacy
serves notice that the hght will be
renewed at the next legislative ses-
sion for the preservation of the
Old Capitol building in Jackson;
that the u. D. c. will oppose any
and all plans to have the site sold,
the structure demolished, or any
other scheme that will take title to
the property away from the State.
The U. D. c. has had the preser
vation OF this historic building as a
special object of work for many
years, and have been steadily at
work trying to create . sentiment
in favor OF restoring this old land
mark.
1t is most fitting that this organ
ization should hold this work close
to heart, for this building was SO
closely connected with the birth of
Mississippi as a Confederate state,
for within those walls was held the
Secession Convention which passed
the Ordinance of Secession which
severed Mississippi from the
Union.
The February number of sour
Heritage," the official organ of the
Miss. Div. U. D. c., published at
West Point, Miss, was called the
"Old Capitol" number, and it con-
tanned many valuable articles, Civ
ing strong reasons why this his
toric building should be preserved,
and making an earnest plea to the
people of Mississippi TO give sup
port to this movement, and to
our lawmakers to make an appro
priation at the next meeting of the
Legislature, that will insure the
restoration of the "Old Capitol. I"
The u. D. c., in common with all
the patriotic organizations OF the
State, desire the preservation OF
this building, which is part OF the
States history. BY resolution a.
dopted at the U. D. c. Convention
at Natchez, 1919, the "Daughters''
viii renew their work Tor the Old
ICapitoI during 1913 with increased
earnestness,
Mrs. S. E. F. Rose, President
of the Miss. Div. u. D. c., is
Heading the organization in this
great movement, and the Division
has a strong committee which is
actively at work along well defined
plans, and the u. D. c. have the
support of the Confederate Veter
ans of Mississippi according to q
resolution adopted by them al
their State Reunion at Jackson las
October.

Problems OF the Farmer.

has adopted the following sugges-
tions relative to prizes
1--WE suggest that the production
and marketing Of farm products is
the largest and most intricate bus
iness problem that civilization has
ever confronted, and we deplore
the tendency of friendly agencies
to conhne their Efforts to produc-
ton. side of our problems which is
the most easily mastered and is
already overdone.
1--WE have carefully reviewed
from the standpoint of practical
farming the result of prize farming
as carried on in the state during
the past few years, and consider it
in every instance inadequate and,
as a whole, damaging to the farm
ing industry. Its educational value
is too limited to be of any practi-
cal use; it turns the mind of the
child from practical to fancy farm
ing; its effect is immoral where the
cost Of growing prize crop ex.
ceeds the value of products and
gives the occupation of farming a
chiidlike appearance and acknowl-
edges the farmers as delinquent,
feeble and incompetent. We con
slider the assembling of The best
products OF the farm in commune
|ity for study and comparison OF
educational value, and small prizes
offered after the crop is grown, not
so Objectionable, but the offering
of large prizes before the crop is
planted, we think damaging to ag-
riculture for the reasons above
stated.
sit is prices, not prizes, we
want. Only one farmer can be
benefited by prize, but a hall
million profit by increase in prices.
"Production is not a problem
that we submit to the business in
terests for solution. 1t is caring
for the surplus products that deep
lly concern US and one in which we
TASK the cooperation of strong men
with wide experience and world
vision in business.
"The important material assist
ance that business men can render
is in increasing the value of ou'
products while in the hands of the
producer through more intelli
gent and systematic method o
marketing and thereby making oul
securities more stable.
s'Financial paper issued upon
bale of cotton for a reasonable
amount is as good security as
government bond, yet it may bea
little or no recognition upon th
s market, although it may bea
2 double the intetest rate. The valu
. of our staple crops can be in
$ creased at least 40 per cent withou
I increasing the cost to the consume
by a more business like method j
marketing.
1--WE are anxious to counsel wit
bankers ia perfecting our secur
ties, and in studying marketin
problems with business men, bs
! production is wholly : farmer
problem and is much better unde
. stood than marketing and rur
credits.
= awe want TO own and impro'
: our homes; give our children bett
educational advantages; posse

more attractive. but these al
!. many other problems can be solv'
only after we have made the bul

tive"
