The farm boy has a tremendous ad-
vantage in the world. Early he is

has a sound body. He is eminently
fitted to do the greatest things done in
the world. He recognizes that the
farm lie the best place in the world in
which to live. Ten chances to one he
would prefer to stay on his fathers

Egyptians Had 12-Hour DAYS.

The early Egyptians divided day
and night each into IL hours, a Gus
tom adopted by the Jews or Greeks
probably from the Babylonians. The
day is said to have been divided into
hours from 293 B. c., when L. Papirius
Cursor erected a sundial in the tenn
pie OF Quicinus at Rome. Before
water clocks were invented in 1853
B. c., time was called at Rome by
public criers. In England the meas

uncertain; n expedient was by wax
candles, three inches burning an hour,
and six wax candles burning "a hours

PARCHMAN FARM
PROBE IS BEGUN
sUNFLOWER GRAND JURY GOES
INTO GRAFT CHARGES.
Judge Everett Tells Jury to Silt Accu-
sations Against Both State En-
ployes and Outside Parties-Co-
caine Selling Denounced.

misunderstanding the attention of
the grand jury to the charges of graft in
connection with the Parchman state pen
i~tentiary farm, which is located in this
lSunflower1 county, Judge Frank +. Ev-
erett at the opening of the fall term
of the circuit court here instructed the
inquisitorial body to make a thorough
and complete investigation of all of the
mmors and reports of alleged wrong
doing and to bring in indictments in ev-
ery case where the facts warranted the
presentment of true bills.
The court house was filled with a
large crowd when circuit court convened
in anticipation of important develop
ments in the p~enitentiary scandal.
This is the first regular term of the
circuit court that has been held since the
graft charges Were made about the
Parchman farm last spring, and 1t is the
first opportunity that the state has had
to have a grand jury investigation. Judge
Everett was recently appointed to the
bench by Gov. Brewer to succeed Judge
Monroe McClurg, who resigned. Indian
ola is the home of Judge Everett and
many friends and n%eighbors were present
at the opening of the first term OF court
TO extend him congratulations.
Judge Everett also went after the VEN
doris of cocaine in his charge to the
grand jury. THE sale of cocaine with
out the prescription of a physician is il

told that cocaine is being peddled about
over the county and sold to negroes. This
should be stopped, and you can help stop
it by bringing in indictments against the
guilty parties. There is no doubt that
much crime is the result of the indiscrim
mate sale of cocaine. The affair at Har,
yiston a few days ago, in which IL per
sons were killed and over 20 were in

traffic in cocaine. Two cocaine-crazed
negroes started the trouble at Harris

What One Sparrow Did.

What is perhaps the most remark
able accident that ever occurred was

according to Leslie's Magazine.
large touring car was travelling at fair
speed along a boulevard lined with
trees Large focks Of sparrows were
in the trees and several boys were
taking chances of being arrested by
the police by shooting at the birds
with sling shots. One pebble, part1cu-
larly we'll aimed. struck sparrow on
the upper wing and sent him gliding
through the air directly toward the
driver of the car; the bird struck him
full in the face, and In the next in
slant things began to happen. Tho
driver clutched at his eyes, the car
lurched into the ditch, knocking down
a telegraph pole. vaulted to a plowed
field on the other side Of the ditch
and went full force into q huge hay
stack Despite this wild swerve no
one was even scratched except the
driver, whose eyesight was damaged
by the claws Of the sparrow. The
whole incident had taken far less time
than needed to relate 1t.
