Why Not Send the Liberty Bell?

What the objections to taking this prizcd relic (thc Liberty Bel) to San Francisco? The chief is that the bell is cracked and that transporta ton great distance would cndangtr the condition of the metal, causing the crack To grow larger But, after all, what harm come from such damage It is expected that the bell will ring again.

It is that this bell is secluded in Philadelphia, where even the people of that city seldom it. Philadelphia is not mecca for travellers, not for the casual native tourists of our own country. Why shouldn't this bell be taken where the people can see it? It belongs to them quite much to the citizens of Philadelphia Better thousand times that it should continue to arouse patriotism in the hearts of the American people than that should be buried in the seclusion of a place often visited

He feared he'd more than his full share Hence his resolve that he would be In Hope his fellow mans Trustee.

Ordinary Coal Oil Runs Boil weesiI.

Jackson. Miss, Aug. 25.-That
ordinary coal oil is practical and
effective remedy in the extermina-
tion of boil weevils is learned from
a series of experiments made on
the Delta plantations of DR.. R. ".
Powers, of this city. A good crop
will be made on the plantations OF
DR.. Powers, where during the 1912
season the cotton yield was almost
total failure.
The method of applying kerosene
is simple, and the cost does NOT
exceed 10 cents per acre. DIR.
Powers received a letter this morn.
ing from one of his plantation
managers, stating that the fight
against the boil weeViI has beer
practically won as the result of the
use of coal oil.
The method used is to have a roo
extending latterly from the plow
beam, on the end of which is a sack
saturated with coal oil. The sack
brushes lightly over the plant,
slightly staining the leaves, and
within a short time the weevils are
conspicuous by their absence.
This is the only practical meth.
cd of exterminating the pest vel
devised, says DIR. Powers. ut il
working successfully on my places,
and ! earnestly recommend it to all
other farmers.

Blind Girl is a Genius.

One of the graduates Of the Miss
issippi Institution for the Blind
last June was Miss Zelda Myers, a
young lady who had been at the in
stitution several years and who had
become very proficient in all the
arts and trades that are taught to
the blind. She was born and part
ly raised in Lowndes county, COM
ing to the institution when a mere
child and proving one of its bright
est pupils.
But the State makes no provision
for caring for the blind graduates
of this great school, and when they
complete the course they are prac-
tically turned out in the cold. y
However, Miss Myers has made
many good friends in jackson. and
they are seeing to it that she is
cared for. They "chippe1 in and
purchased her a hand-loom fol
making carpets and rugs. and she
has been at work some time. The
rugs are made in any color desired,
and the work could not be done
better by person with good eyes.
She has created demand for these
rugs and they sell readily at about
So each, according to size. Some
of them were on exhibition at the
Capitol today and attracted a great
deal of attention when it became
known they were made by a blind
|girI.

Home; Found Near Magnolia.

Fernwood, Miss, Aug. %. Last
evening this little village was
thrown into excitement when Mrs.
l.. H. Dantzler reported that her
son was lost. Monroe, 6 years old,
was sent to look for the COW about
6 p. m. and lost his way. The cit
izens responded promptly and soon
a search of the pastures was on.
Along the roads the child's bare
footprints were visible. About
$50 in response to telephone mes
sage, the child was located below
Magnolia, having lost his bearings
and instead Of going north to Fern
wood was going in the opposite
direction. Monroe was conveyed
back to his home in the auto of z.
B. Fielder, by Messrs. Stamps and
May, and at about 10:30 p. M, was
placed in the arms of his rejoicing
parents.

A Sword Of 1872.

The Department of Archives and
History has been presented with a
sword that has a history, having
been carried through the war of
1872 and having seen active service
in the battle of New Orleans. II
was carried by the grandfather Of
a prominent Mississippi family
and. after preserving it more than
|one hundred years. they present it
to the State, so that it will be
taken care Of for all time to come.
This old sword is cumbersome
blade, seemingly handmade and
enclosed In an iron scabbard. It is
half-crescent shaped, instead of
straight. as the swords of today ap-
pear, and its weight is sufficient to
bother men who are not giants.
Accompanying the sword was the

$4,000 ARISTOCRATIC COWS.
SOME FARMER MAY HAVE BETTER

/ have read of your $40, 900 Hol-
stein beauty and her forty-four-
pound butter record. Have also
read of other $4,000 mixers. /
have before me a price list of ped
igreed milk stock valued at $500
each and upward with an eighteen
pound butter record. Why are
such cattle so expensive?
1t is not so much because of
their record of performances as it
is due to lines of breeding. The
papers make them valuable, writes
an Arkansas correspondent.
Now we have here in our COM
munity a grade Jersey, just COM
mon milk COW, whose authentic
test was IL per cent, and yet she
brought only $3.50. Such a COW, if
registered by the American Jersey
Cattle Club, would have sold easily
for $4,000. As her ancestry was
not registered neither could she be.
j must say that our cattle breed
ers. especially IN dairy cattle lines,
are going mad over pedigrees. 1t
is therefore necessary that the
American Grade Dairy Cattle
! Breeders Association of which
am Secretary, spread out further
at this time, and take in a few
thousands of the 100000 grade
dairy cattle owners. There are
but a half million registered dairy
cattle in America, while the feder-
al census shows rs, 600, 900 milk
cows.
If the robber cows in each herd
were killed off and it is said there
are 100000 milk cows annually
not paying for their keep. and the
remainder fed and cared for and
less attention paid by mixers of
cows to pedigrees and more to the
individual and her feeding and

crease.

Lectures Are SuCCessfuI--Edgar Green
Off on Tour.

Lexington, Miss, Aug. 22.-The
series of farmers institutes held
by K. H. Pate and Edgar Green. of
the A. and M. College under
auspices of the agricultural high
school at Goodman, are proving a
pronounced success. The meetings
began at Harmony Monday and
will close with grand rally at
Lexington Saturday. The crowds
that are greeting the speakers are
estimated at from $50 to 200 each
day. More interest is being taken
in the series of institutes By the
farmers than has ever been mani
tested before.
Everywhere the spirit of the
progressive farmer is abroad in the
land. Where the old-time preju-
dice lurked and the 81 know it
all ;" there has arisen a desire to
appropriate knowledge; and a fell
lowship has sprung up among farm
ers that inspires emulation and
helpfulness the one from the other.
Especially are the efforts of those
who are out on the field during the
work of agricultural educators ap-
preciated more than formerly. The
Press has helped much to bring this
admirable spirit to the forefront.
Lincoln county, just now, might
consider a series of lectures to its
advantage, especially if Prof.
Green could be induced to tarry
around Jerusalem instead Of mis-
sionizing in the fields beyond,
where he seems always in demand.

One Of the Mysteries : Why win
Farmers Oppose Good Roads?

A mystery Of the countryside is
why 50 many farmers oppose good
roads.
Uncle Sans recent countrywide
inquiry into the economic effect Of
road Improvement revealed posi-
lively what had long been believed
by many. that each dollar prudent
ly spent in making the highways
better roadways for farm haulage
added at least dollar in every in
stance. and IN most instances more
than a dollar to adjoining farm
values.
This was an almost immediate
addition. But il you regard each
