The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1914-07-22

The city Of Hattiesburg today in
augurates a general clean up campaign.
The campaign was started by E. B.
Caperton, commissioner of sanitation
and the public health, and it is backed
by the entire municipal orgaLisatIon.
1t is the decree OF the city commission
that weeds and trash, stagnant water
and anything else that il . menace
to the public health must go.
The city will begin the reform at
home by cleaning up the streets and
alleys and the public domain in gen.
eral. The city asks for the co-opera-
tion of its citizens and offers to those
who are unable to purchase it for them
selves, crude oil with which to treat
damp places which can not be drained
and might become the breeding places
for insects.
The city officials. for those ,delin-
quents who fail to haed the warning
and obstinately refuse to regard the
public health, call attention to city
ordinances which require that all prem
ises be kept in sanitary condition.
Will Preserve Good Health Record.
Mr.. Caperton, the author of the move
ment, says: The health of the city OF
Hattiesburg, I am told by physicians.

summer 1t has been far better than

vention is worth pound of cure, and

mer can be prevented II the proper
measures are taken and applied now
The city is planning to use large
quantities of crude oil on such places
as can be drained. These however
are not many. Mr.. Caperton says that
individual property owners can ust
kerosene about their premises. 1t is /
little more expensive, but it is ais,
more effective.

Wheat-the Staff of Kansas.

The Kansas secretary of agricul-
ture estimates that this year his state
raised enough wheat to make forty
million, two hundred and five thou
sand five hundred and forty barrels of
flour. "Were this flour converted in
to bread" he says, at would make
eight and one-half billion loaves,
enough to meet our nations need for
bread, for year. The value of this
record-smashing crop, if apportioned
equally among the states inhabitants
would give each more than ninety
dollars"
Naturally, there is no talk of hard
times in Kansas. Besides PRODUCING,
approximately one-ffth of Americas s
greatest wheat crop, its farmers have
raised variety of other food supplies.
They are well prepared to live at
home. The proceeds of their money
crop can be put in the bank or invest
ed in farm improvements. The peo-
pie as a whole are prosperous. Sound
agriculture means thriving business.
Plenteous food crops mean economic
independence and cheer.-Southern
Cultivator.

still exist those unfortunate souls who.

"Christmas humbug!' one is moved

LOCKHART JUNCTION

Lockhart Junction, Dec. 22.-Rain,
rain and mud is common these days
and some say that dry summer will
make wet winter, so we will see
what we will see. The old year will
son be numbered with the past and
by the time this letter will be seer in
print it will be Christmas. Now old
Santa will be so poor this year he
won't be able to tote many presents,
but should not every one give accord
ing to his means and ability. How
many of us are thinking of the char
liable ones, those who are in actual
need of something to eat. | heard a
fellow say he saw boy the other day
barefooted and crying for pair of
shoes. Is not that the kind to give to.
So much is thrown away in fireworks
and other things that are no good. Do
we think of Christ as we ought :?
Some take their part out of the Jug
or bottle and so much is thrown away
foolishly.
/ met Roland Coleman from Ports
mouth, Ohio. He was verv glad to
see me and told me a great deal of his
country. He lives in town of thirty
thousand inhabitants. He says Ohio
is good farming country, can raise
everything but cotton; can make from
one to two hundred bushels of Irish
atoes on one acre and sometimes
more than that The roads are good
out there and one can ride for miles
on motorcycle three hundred miles
on roads as good as the streets of
Union or any other town and hardly
bad place. 1t is a great manu-
featuring country. He is looking for
his wife to come here for visit. He
expects to stay here some time.

Some farmers did not get through
scraping up their cotton and may be
little corn yet; the farmers did not
get done sowing grain, so they will
have to finish in 1915. Roads are i'm
bad condition and after Christmas
they will be much worse. There will
be so much moving about, that is
about all the pleasures many will
have.

We heartily favor helping the Bel
gians. They are starving. Thou
sands of babies are starving, and hu-
manitarian principles demand that we
render aid.
At the same time, if there is a
way to cut off help from the nations
at war it would hasten the coming of
peace. If all the, nations at peace
could cease trading with, or lending
money to the warning nations there
would soon be condition that would
