EARLY ACTION ON
MILITIA PAY
BILL
PASSAGE BY CONGRESS IS coNFI-
IDENTIFY ExPEcTED-w WOULD
MEAN $4,000 FOR MISS.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 1S.-"I think the
prospects are very favorable for the
early passage of the militia pay bill in
the national Congress, and If it be-
comes law it will mean that the Mis-
sissippi National Guard will get about
$4,000 year, in addition to what
1t is now receiving" remarked Adju-
tant General Arthur Fridge this morn
ing
While on a recent trip to Washing
ton in connection with a meeting of
the adjutant generals of the various
states to consider ways and means
Of inducing Congress to take early &C
ton on the measure that is pending.
General Fridge was appointed a mem
Der of a delegation to go before the
Fouse committee on rules. In speak
ing of the matter he said:
eve got together and decided to
tEy to get vote on the Dil. There
were two ways, one a suspension Of
the rules of the house to get it called
up, and the other the securing of a
special rule from the House rules com
mittee
"A suspension of the rules required
a two-thirds vote of the House, but
If the rules committee reports a spe-
cial rule the majority would pass the
bill. The bill already has been ia
vorably reported, but has not been
voted on in its present form.
81 think a majority of the members
of the House already are pledged to
support the bill when it comes up for
a vote We are not at all uneasy
about its fate in the Senate.
when we went before the House
committee on rules, and explained the
matter to the representatives, they
showed considerable interest, and
while we cannot say what they will
do. it looks as if they will act favor
ably upon our request.
81 don't know any measure of its
kind in which the representatives are
more interested than in the militia
pay bill, now that they understand Just
what it means If 1t is passed its pro-

And EXPENSES.
OF VETERANS
COL. MONTGOMERY APPEALS TO
CITIZENS FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
THE PROPOSED FUND.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 1S.-Colonel w.
A. Montgomery of Edwards, former
major-general commanding the Missis.
sippi division, United Confederate Vet
Grams, has issued an earnest appeal 10
the patriotic citizens of the state for
contributions to a fund he proposes
to raise to be used in paying the rail
road fare and expenses of Confeder-
ate veterans to the Blue and Gray re-
union to be held on the battlefield at
Gettysburg on July !, >, and 3.
Every state in the Union except
Mississippi has arranged for the trans
portaton of her soldiers to this great
event" says Colonel Montgomery,
and it would lie a shame and eternal
disgrace if our state fails to make
similar provisions.
There will be many Mississippi vet
Grams who fought on the battlefield at
Gettysburg who would like to attend
this reunion, yet are financially I'M
able to do. So and now is the time
for the patriotism of our people to
assert itself.
"The Legislature at its last session
neglected to make an appropriation
for this purpose and, as commissions
er for Mississippi, wrote a letter to
our governor, asking him to address a
letter to the members of the legisla-
ture seeking permission to borrow ST.
500 for the cause. The governor has
declined to do so, and my only re-
course, therefore, is to appeal to the
patriotic people of the state.
Thirty thousand of our comrades
fell on the field at Gettysburg and
our state has done nothing to perpe-
tuate their heroism. 1t is little enough
to ask that their comrades who sur
vived, many of them manned and
wounded, be allowed, in their declin-
ing days, the privilege of visiting the
field where their valor was displayed.
l earnestly urge all newspapers in Mis-
sissippi, and all who feel friendly
interest in this movement, to aid me
in the work of raising funds. Con
can be sent direct to me at
Miss, or given to the COM
of the local camp of United
Veterans"

ed. the companionship of his favorite
son, called him home. Since then
young Hutton had nothing to do and
being of an active disposition, the feel
ing dependent upon his IA
ther had highly depressing influence
upon him. In his morose condition
the young man began to worry over
religious matters and to attend church
and Sunday school exercises. He at
tended a meeting of the Y. M. G. A.
at Tarrytown and heard a sermon by
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., the sancti-
monious son of the Oil King. Hut
toms mind being in an abnormal con-
dition made him receptive for all the
cheap claptrap of the sermon. So deep
ly did the young man become impress
ed with Mr.. Rockefeller's words that
he went home and hanged himself.
The fact that he took the sermon Sc
riously is considered proof of the abb
normal condition of the young mans
mind.

Fads and Fashions

By FLORENCE FAIRBANKS

New York, Jan. 1S.-The recent cold
snap has had decidedly invigorating
effect upon the fur market and has
brought out an incredibly large mum.
Der of fur garments and accessories
of every description. 1t is quite safe
to say that not for many years have furs
been so much in vogue as they are
this season and it is equally safe to
make the assertion that the prices of
furs of every kind have never been
so high as they are now. And this
does not apply merely to the rarer
kinds of pelts. Fur-bearing animals
are becoming exceedingly scarce and
some of them, once quite plentiful,
have become almost extinct. Their
skins are almost worth their weight
in gold and only the very wealthiest
of women are in a position to afford
them.
But the rapidly increased scarcity of
fur-bearing animals has long ago led
to the utilization of the furs of ami
mails which, fifteen or twenty years
ago, no fur dealer would have dared
to put in the market and which would
have found no sale even If they had
been offered at that time. 1t was sheer
necessity which led to the extensive
use of the skins of rats, cats, moles,
squirrels and other small animals
which formerly were not hunted for
heir skins, at least not to any great
extent. It is true that the skins of
squirrels and moles have been used
or trimming purposes and for small |
ur neckpieces, ETC., for a great man7 |
ears, but not until in comparatively |
ecent years did anybody ever think
f fashioning entire full-length cloaks
nd coats from these small skins.
There is a great deal said and writ
en- about the high cost of living, but
is remarkable fact that notwith-
landing the tremendous increase in
ne cost of furs, even of the common
st kinds, furs are used by women of
re present day more than ever be-
re in the history of fashion The /
rice paid for full length coat of good s
iality sealskin twenty-five years ago
ould not buy short jacket of skunk 7
the present time. Yet one may see $
r coats of every length, size. descrip- i

ton and pelt everywhere, even on
women who do not impress one as be-
ing particularly blessed with the riches
of the world.
Many women, who wish to follow
fashion to a reasonable extent, but
are wise enough to realize their finan-
cial limitations, make a compromise
with fashion by wearing coats or
cloaks of some rough and heavy ma
terial for protection against the cold
and to crafty their desire to be in the
swim, trim their protecting garments
with any one of the handsome furs
which may be had in the form of strips
for that specific purpose. This eco
nomic use of furs materially reduces
the cost of outer garments and yet
permits them to be quite handsome
and attractive and in keeping with
the dictates of fashion.
For outdoor use especially where
good service is required long coats
of heavily corded English corduroy or
some of the heavy blanket materials
are excellent and if trimmed with
some rough kind of fur, they are quite
handsome. For more dressy occa-
sions such coats may be of velvet, vel
our or the finer grades of corduroy
and trimmed with more dressy furs
and passementerie.
OF course, women who need not to
be economical in buying their winter
outfits, have large variety of the
most beautiful furs to choose from
For long coats they do well to select
some Of the lighter furs, like mole
skin, while for short coats, the weigh
of which need not be considered. some
of the heavier pelts may be used
The tendency of extravaganza which
Is so clearly manifested in the exten.
sive use of costly furs, also manifests
Itself this season in the materials used |
or gowns and suits, in the trimmings |
and the accessories required |
o complete stylish outfit. Some of
he new materials are extremely beau
iful and, many of them at least. quite
erviceable.
One of the new materials, which
great vogue during the
pring season is silk ratine. 1t is seen
a an endless variety of colors and

FARM Improvement
Assn. Will BE
ORGANIZED
CALL FOR MASS MEETING NEXT
SATURDAY FOR PURPOSE OF
FORMING ORGANIZATION.

A call has been issued for a county
mass meeting at the court house in
Hattiesburg at 1880 p. M, Saturday,
Jan. 20, for the purpose of organizing
a Farm Improvement Association. The
county will be circularized, calling at
tention to the meeting, and it is hoped
that as many farmers and business
men as possible will be in attendance
The National Farm Improvement AS
ISOLATION of Chicago recently an
nounced that it had 800, 1000 to be
donated to the first 100 counties in the
United States qualifying to participate
in the distribution of the fund. by or
ganizing local association. The board
of supervisors of Forrest county and
others interested in agricultural devel-
opment and the improvement of farm
ir~ Methods and conditions were at
once interested in the offer, which re-
quires that a county to qualify must
meet the gift of $1,OO by pledging a
like amount, the total to be expended
in two years. Approaching the offer
the board of supervisors pledged $500 |
for each Of the two years and individ-
uals have pledged the 5000 balance. |
Now all that remains for Forrest coun-
ty to qualify is the perfecting of an
organization as assurances have been
received from the Chicago association
that Forrest county will be one of the
100 counties to participate in the dis
tribution provided the offer is taken
advantage of promptly.
The committee that is arranging for
the meeting next Saturday is composed
Of J. A. Quick, Alex Conn, F. L. Math-

STRAY TOPICS FROM
LITTLE OLD NEW YORK.


New York, Jan. 1S.-The New York
ers, or at least a great many of them,
evidently are not satisfied with the
safe and sane celebrations which the
municipality provides on special occa-
sions like the Fourth of July, Christ
mas and New Years Day. They do
not object to the entertainment pro-
vided, but they want in addition to it
as much of the old unsafe and insane
ways of celebrating as they can pos
sibly get. The New Years eve cele-
brations in New York, especially dur
ing recent years, were a disgrace to
the city. 1t seemed as if all the pent
up rowdyism of the multitude, all the
hysterical craving for noise and ex-
citement sought an outlet and gratifi-
cation on that night and all night pan
daemonium reigned supreme along
Broadway and practically all the
streets of the Bowery and the Tender
loin districts. 1t was with the hope
of putting an end to the senseless
noise and the display of rowdyism on
New Years eve that the city author
tiles, supported by the better elements
among the citizens tried the expert
ment of arranging public celebrations
with music and other features of en-
tertainment. But the rowdyism would
not be downed so easily and there
was enough of it throughout the city
to satisfy the toughest hoodlum.
To make things a little livelier the
striking walters made an attack with
bricks and paving blocks upon the Ho-
tel Astor which was filled with merry
making crowds, The police reserves
! had to be called out to subdue and
dispense the strikers. Some of them
were captured and order was finally
restored. 1t is safe to say that the
striking walters did not win much SYM
pathy from the decent element among
the citizens by their violence.

PLENTY OF MuNEY
is AVAILABLE
FOR LOANS
WITHDRAWAL FROM STATE OF
LOAN ASSOCIATION HAS NOT
DIMINISHED VOLUME.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. S.-The with
drawal of foreign building and loan
corporations from Mississippi on the
LIST of January, on which date the new
statute lowering the legal rate of in
terest from 10 to per cent, has ap-
parently not diminished the volume
of money available for loans, and thus
far there have been no complaints of
the scarcity of money when reason
able security is offered.
On the contrary, the companion stat
ute exempting from taxation all money
loaned lat per cent or less has SEEM
ingly brought into activity large vol
ume of money, and loans are not diff
ficult to obtain, either upon city or
farm property.
A striking instance of the benefit
Gent effect of the new interest rates
is furnished by Captain ]. G. Purnell
wealthy banker and capitalist of Wi
mona, who proposes to loan 100000
to the farmers of the adjacent terri
tory, who desire to improve their
farms In that county, the only proviso
being that not more than $1,000 be
loaned to any one person.
Other bankers and banking institu-
tions over the state are announcing
that they have per cent money avail
able for loans, when same is to be used
for improvement or development pur-
poses, and they seem to be especially
anxious to help the small borrower.
