Governor BREWER
SUED FOR 100000
ENGINEER SHACKELFORD FILES
PAPERS IN MEMPHIS.
Suits Seem to Be Coming Brewers Way
but He Don't Seem Worried-Com.
nents Upon the Action of
Chief Engineer.

Jackson.-A call for 800, 900 against
Gov. Brewer was brought in Memphis
by Engineer Shackelford, chief engineer
OF the Mississippi board of levee COM
missioners.
Asked about it, the governor said that
he had been told by a friend that such
a suit had been entered against him, and
gave out the following statement:
81 don't know why Mr.. Shackelford
went to Tennessee to sue me, as we both
live in Mississippi, but he will find out
that no amount of suits against me, or
other intimidations will deter me from
the discharge of my official duty"
The governor had not been made ac-
quainted with the exact allegations in
the engineers suit, but said that he sup
posed it was based upon a statement
he had made after the recent break in
the levee at Beulah occurred to the eff
feet that it was the result of gros;
carelessness or neglect of duty.

HABIT OF EXCHANGING EGGS
Little Money and No Satisfaction In
Praetlee-Best to Sell Direct
to the Consumer.

There is no satisfaction, and but
very little money In exchanging eggs
for groceries or grain. BY being care
full in gathering eggs. 80 that they
won't become chilled in winter and SO
the hens won't sit on them overnight
and using a little care in sizing and
selecting, quite an advance over the
common prices may be obtained.
When possible. sell your eggs direct
to the II not possible, get
a market in your nearest city with
some grocer who deals In strictly
fancy groceries and provisions. Agree
to furnish him only strictly fresh
eggs, and then, for your W sake.
live up to your agreement. Carefully
clean all the eggs; don't send any
small, misshapen or large ones. Stamp
each egg with a rubber stamp, using
your initials or the name OF your
farm, and in a short time you will
have created a demand for your eggs
and when you have created such a de
mand your eggs will bring the highest
prices, considerably more than your
st%orekeeper would pay.
Several neighbors could send theil
eggs together, paying a cent or two
per dozen to one Of their number TO
doing the business, and In this wa!
all would gain a little.

State News Notes
CATTLE SUPPLY IS DEPLETED
FARMERS OF STATE HAVE BEEN
ACTING FOOLISHLY,
High Prices Have Induced Many to Sell
Oft Their Herds, and There Will
Be Little Grazing on Spring
Ranges.

Jackson.-That the stockmen of Mis-
sissippi have been killing the goose des.
tined to lay the golden egg is the az.
sertion by those familiar with the status
OF the cattle industry in this state.
For the past there months there has
been an unprecedented demand for Mis-.
sissippi cattl" OH the st. Louis market,
buyers of commission firms have secured
the state in search of desirable herds,
and, instead OF Mississippi having the
live stock industry well launched, the
supply OF cattle for pasturage during
the approaching spring and summer il
smaller than for many years.
High prices have been paid at st.
Louis, even for poor cattle, and this
has induced many farmers to sell of
their herds almost without reservation,
Especially does this apply to the ordi
nary grades of cattle.
The supply of beef cattle in Missis
sippi is SO short that butchers are en-
countering much trouble in getting Ma
tive cattle for slaughter, and some o
the meat dealers in the larger towns
are having cattle shipped in from Texa'
for ~slaughtering purposes.

Extreme


II has long been noted that many
~precocioun children die young. and
that extreme ~precocity being in the
nature of disease, should be a subject
of the gravest care. Medical authori-
ties hold that in a highly ~precocious
child the exercise Of the intellect,
whether in lessons Or otherwise,
should be controlled, not, as is too
often the case, unduly stimulated il
there is any desire that the child live
to maturity. The annals of %precocity
present no more remarkable instance
than the brief career of Christian
Heinecker, born at Lubbock, February
6, 1921. At 10 months he could repeat
every word said to him; at ~ months
he knew by heart all the principal
events told in the five books of Moses.
In his second year he learned the
greater part of the history in both the
Old and New Testaments. In his third
year he learned to speak Latin and
French. In his fourth year he made a
study of religion and vas able not only
to repeat all he had read, but to ex'
press his own judgment upon 1t. He
was taken to the court at Copen
hagen and proclaimed a wonder. He
then learned to write, but his consti
tuition being weak he fell i'll and dice
on June q, 1925, when little more
than 4 years old, which should be g
warning to parents not to push theil
p~recocious youngsters too hard.

steel Trust Is Stubborn.

The steel trust has no notion OF
surrendering. It will not dissolve vol
UNFAIRLY, and there will be no decree
of dissolution in case its able lawyers
can prevent 1t. And unless the com
bination can be resolved into its con
stituent companies 1t is not certain
that any useful purpose would be
served by a dissolution. The dissolu'
ton Of the oil trust effected nothing
because It left the ownership Of all
the properties just where 1t was be
fore. The dissolution OF the tobacco
trust may have been somewhat more
real, but there is dispute about that.

Governor Wilson Is strengthening
himself in public opinion by demon
strating that he has a constructive
mind. The trouble in the past has
been that everybody realized that con
ditions ought to be remedied, but no
one has undertaken to attack the
problem with definite recommended
ton. Even Mr.. Roosevelt, with all
his mental activity. lacks the power
to grasp details which Mr.. Wilson has
displayed. Whether the latter's sug
gestions are the true solution, and
whether they can be embodied into
a practical and effective law, is 6
question which can only be deter
mined by experience. In the mean
time, the country will commend the
new president for the zeal as we'll a:

and which is an earnest hat he will
bring to the discharge OF his duties

thing toward solving the most coD

TRYING A TARIFF LAW
TIME FOR TESTING IT is NOT
MAIN REQUISITE.
Measure to 30 Constructed by Demo-
Gratis Must Have General Party
Approval Before II 10
Given to Country.

A prominent Democrat expresses
the hope that Mr.. Wilson will call
congress together as early as March
Is. Let u.s. says he. get the new
tariff law on the books and In opera
ton by August 1. and that will give
the country fifteen months In which
to appraise 1t before passing on It at
the polls" A very good point. but
not all Of the case.
The country voted on the Mckinley
Law when 1t was only about a month
old, and condemned It. Mr.. Mckinley
always insisted that a trial Of twelve
months would have saved the meas
ure, insured the election Of a Repub-
llcan house in 1890. and the re-elec.
ton of General Harrison in 1892. AS
he believed, the verdict was formed
more under the influence of the bitter
debate which had marked the meas
ure's passage through the house than
from a knowledge of what the law
actually contained.
The Gorman-Wilson law came up
for judgment at the polls within less
than ninety days after its passage.
But 1t would have been condemned
had the time beer a year Time
would nave been no help in such a
} case. The Measure carried from the
: day of its birth the displeasure OF the
1 party responsible for 1t.
: The Dingley law had a trial of more
5 than a year, and was approved. But
! approval would have come at the end
/; of a month. Business, indeed, began
/; to pick up while the measure was TAX
= ing shape. The bare promise OF s
p revision of the tariff on lines frankly
e protective after a period of deep de
preston had set the wheels Of in
} dustry to turning again; and the arm,
of the unemployed trooped back t.
Is work. The White House and con
1t gress were In full agreement.

COST OF LEvEE SYSTEM.
What the Lower District Spent in Six
Months.

Jackson.-Some idea of the cost of
maintaining levees in the lower Missis-
sippi district, where many thousands OF
acres are now inundated from the Beu-
lah crevasse, may be obtained from the
report of the board of levee commission
ers, which has just been received at the
governors office from Secretary L. Pink
Smith.
The report covers a period OF six
months of last year, from July to De-
csmber, inclusive, and shows that re-
ceipts were S354,217.O3, and disburse-
ments $24O,115.27, leaving a balance OF
s114,1O1.76. A good portion OF this
balance is to cover the cost of contracts
already awarded.
Although the lower levee district EN-
braces only three counties, the board
provides for the maintenance OF more
than $50 miles of l%evees, and there
seems to be little prospect of a reduc
ton in the tax levy for this purpose.
The upper levee district has its leve'
lines in first-class shape, and there VII
be a considerable reduction OF the ta'
levy during the current year.

Gov. Brewer was loath to believe that

~cold-stor,oe Tests.

Tests of cold storage. as made by
one of the experts Of the department
Of agriculture led to the conclusion
that poultry keeps better when not
drawn than 1t does when drawn. The
reason is that the process of drawing
causes bruises which invite the lodg-
ment of germs. Birds that were dry
picked kept much better than those
which had been scalded. The experts
summed up the requirements as
prompt storage. dry picking and dry
chilling. These essentials have all
been favorable to the co~ld-storage
trade. but seem never to be com
pretended by the host Of agitators
which every year try to secure alb
surd cold-storage laws.
