An EdItOr q al Ambassador.

There are some people who, when
an editor gathers In an important
Office. feel that Il Is not the most
substantial and dIgni6ed choice.
Some may thus criticize the choice
of Walter H. Page as ambassador
to England. Nevertheless, journ.
alism does give a man a unique
training.
An editor has a pretty good OPP
portunity to judge public senti-
ment. For years he has watched
the turning of that inscrutable
weathercock. public opinion. Men
whose business lies In other fields
will stake success or failure on
propositions that are absolutely
contrary to prevailing modes of
thought.
Of course an editor who really
edits Is never afraid to speak bis
mind, even though he knows him
self In the minority. But be does
not cast away much of his life.
blood In the futllity of forlorn
hopes. He waits until he sees the
fruit begin to ripen before be be.
gins to pick 1t. Most of the shams
of life have to take off their masks
before they reach the editors chair.
Which must be highly valuable ID
diplomacy.
Mr.. Page, magazine producer.
has never known the halr-searIng
of evening editions. nor Of the day
the weekly goes to press. But his
great success as an editor has come
because he introduced newspaper
methods into the formerlY-secIuded
peace of magazine work.
Mr.. Page has had sense for hu-
man interest that any newspaper
thriller might envy. Instead of
learned papers about the decora.
tIons of Cardinal Richelien's snuff.
box or the miniature OF Madam de
Maintenon, he printed articles
about the waterways. and better
farming. and social settlements.
Those articles had to be little

Those are lessons that the would.

three years to the winning team in
this annual meet. This is the Sc
cond year C.-H. A. has won the

manent property of the institution.
The victory this year was even
more decisive than that of last
year. In 1914 our boys scored 28
points while the nearest competitor
scored Il. In 1913, though Grip
pied by sickness among the mem
bers OF the team, coach Dukes's
clan walked off with a score of 60
points, while the closest competitor
Canton High School-could
gather only rs. The remaining ~
points were divided among the
eight or ten other schools from all
over the state.
CHI. AS points were scored
by the following men, first place
in each event counting for S. points,
second place,3, and third place, /:
Williams, BIS points on the
100 yard dash; 3 On the low hur-
dies; on the 2ao yard dash.
Tigert-5 points on the low hur-
dies.
McLellan-S point on the pole
vault.
Ferguson, P.-s points on the
mile run; 3 on the high jump.
Tillery-I point on the high
jump; I on the 22o yard dash.
In addition to these points, the
relay team composed of Ferguson,
Tillery, Williams and Tigert, won
S points for first place. The win
ner of first place in each event was
presented with a gold medal. and
she winaer OF second place, sill
yer medal. A gold medal was
given also to each the members of
the winning relay team. 1t will
be seen, thens that our boYs
brought back eight gold medals
and three silver ones. The in
dividual star Of the whole meet was
Williams, who won three gold
medals and a silver one. Mcclellan
distinguished himself by setting a
new state record for the pole vault,
at 9 feet 9 inches. The fastest
race of the meet was the relay,

The Future Of Cattle Growing.

The Future OF Cattle Growing.
A great deal is being said and
something is being done, to induce
an increase in cattle raising in Mis-.
sissippi. The following tabuIated
statement by the Department ol
Commerce, shows that too much
cannot be said for promotion oi
this industry; that it will be years
before the disparity between sup.
ply and demand, that has been
created by the conversion of graz.
ing into farming lands, can be
filled up:
The table which follows shows,
for the years 1907 and 1879, the
number and value of cattle on
farms in the United States, the
number and value of those import

value of fresh beef exported, the
