For the 40 years preceding 1911, the
name mississippi" has represented a
section of our great country that, from
an agricultural viewpoint, was regard
ed as completely chained to it's tradi-
tons and it's destiny so inseDarably In
terwoven with the production or cot
ton that the advent Of the Mexican
boil weevil was regarded as calamity
30 overwhelming in its effect that the
regeneration of the state seemed for a
while to be a hopeless task; but this
seeming calamity has been the cause
of an agricultural awakening which
has been fostered and aided by the ag-
rtcultural departments Of the federal
government and state, by state 1nstftu-
tions, railroads and other large busl-
ness interests operating within the
state until now this state is forging
ahead by leaps and bounds and is pro-
crossing along new agricultural lines
faster than any other state In the
Union.
Corn Yield Increasing.
In three years, the production OF corn
IN the state has increased from 28,0OO,-
900 to 66,OOO,OO0 bushels and from II
to 20 bushels per acre; more pure bred
bulls and hogs, and also more common
cattle for stocking purposes have gone
into Mississippi within the last two
years than into any other state; the
newest and most up-to-date farming
implements are to be seen in use and
for sale everywhere and daylight
ride on any railroad in the state will
show that oats, clovers and hay crops
are fast becoming staple and old King
Cotton would not now recognize his
once most devoted realm or subjects.
Out Of these changed and changing
conditions better things have come
and are still coming.
New Idea VIII Help State.
This new idea will eventually do for
mississippi what it has done for Iowa
and possibly other states-afford a
home market for many products that
are purchased elsewhere, which will
result in keeping at home the money
heretofore sent aboard. This will
make Mississippi and her people pros
porous and Independent.

The Reward of Courtesy.

From little sprouts big trees
will often grow.
We trample upon the sprouts
Of today and gaze with admira-
ton upon the giants that were
sprouts of former generation.
And it is much the same in NUM-
cipal affairs. We think too
much of the ending and not
enough of the beginning. We
overlook the little things Of to-
day which have in them the max
ing of the big ones Of tomorrow.
This tendency of human nature
is strikinglv illustrated in the
case of a gentleman who had oc-
casion to spend a week in coun-
try town, and was remarkably
impressed by the Uniform cour-
tesy shown him by the citizens
of the place.
IF he was interested in a pub
lie building. or a park, or
manufacturing enterprise, a dozen
men were ready with information
and explanations, pointing out
the various advantages, and with
ever good word for the people.
They made him welcome.
A few weeks later while travel
ing in another state he met a
manufacturer who was in search
of a change of location for his
plant. He mentioned the place
he had recently left, and spoke
in glowing terms of the people,
their characteristics, and especi-
ally of their courtesy to the
stranger within their gates.
The manufacturer was much
and a few days later
visited the place. He is there
NOW, with his factory and his
$50 employees.
Truly, a mans tongue has
wonderful influence upon the
future of his own town.
Is there a lesson in it for US!

Wrongs Perpetrated.

In their Issue Of September 12
1914, the Vicksburg Herald calls
attention editorially to a tragic
phase Of the evil wrought by
excessive verdlcts IN damage
suits.
1t seems that last December a
little girl, whose name Is given,
was struck by a locomotive at a
town IN ali adjacant State. The
injuries were not considered ser
ious. but the child dled very sud
denly two days afterward. Ac-
cording to the statement Of the
child's mother several days be-
fore the cc-dent she had discov
cred bottle of strychnlne in a
trunk Of the step-father of the
child. The child, she said, had
several Commissions before death,
and after it's death she looked in
to the trunk for the stry chime
and found it gone. She caused
the arrest of the step father;
who was, however, discharged
after d preliminary hearing, up
on the evidence Of a chemist
holding that there was no
sirychulne in the stomach.
The two parents then filed
suit against he railroad COMPANY
for S45, 100000 damages alleging
that the chlld'S death was due to
the railroad accident. The rail-
road company procured an order
for the exhumation OF the child .
BODY and had It's vital organs eX-
amIned by the state chemist,
who reported as result of his
ANALYSIS, that the child died OF
strychnne poisoning.
The report Of the result of the
analysis was flied in the court,
out no steps were taken for ali
Indictment or re-arrest Of the
step. father upon the preliminary
hearing.
AS to the matter Of guilt or in
nOcence we intimate no opinion
bur if a suit Of his kind is worth
46 600 90 what. a terrible temp
,atlon TO the mother not to dellv-
er the >tep-father up to justice
out to JOIN with him IN extort'nE
Il great sum Of money from the
railroad company; what a terri
able temptation TO the attorney
70 aid IN cefeating the ends OF
instice in order TO bring n dam
age suit afterward; and what a
terrible temptation to jury to
take all mmense sum Of money
from the railroad company's
treasury and give it to the par
ents, out of sympathy for the
death of little child.
Some years ago sensatlon
was created in this state by a
series of murders alleged to have
been committed for the sake OF
insurance money. Damage suits
now offer a more profitable held
for crime. 1t is piLiful TO think
however, that little children may
lose their lives in order thai a
huge sum Of money may be got
ten IN this way.

Wheatley, Ark, Nov, 20, 1913. Dear Doctor
 I am very much interested in the great work the State Board of Health is doing. The boys and girls of today are the men and women of tomorrow, and believing that it is impossible for sound mind to exist in an unsound body, I see the great importance of having all rural school children exam ined for hookworm disease. The teacher can be of invaluable assistance to the doctors by urging directors to install sanitary closets, that not only the hookworm disease, but other dis eases may not be spread.
 Yours truly,

MALARIAL DISEASES,
How to Avoid Them and the Se- rious Consequences of Neg Iect.

"Fix me up something to knock the malaria, doctor,' remarked sallow- faced, sick1y looking man, entering a prominent physicians office the other day,
 The doctor stepped to his medicine case, took down couple of bottles, mixed a preparation which he handed to the patient with the customary advice to shake well and follow directions and resumed his seat.
 /, "Such cases are frequent, ,"rep1ied the doctor in answer to a question. "The warm days and damp, chilly nights are certain malaria breeders and are most serious i'll those who have neglected to keep their stomach, liver and bowels in good condition. Such persons are full of the impurities on which the malarial germ thrives, and it is from this class that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright's Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim most of their victims whenever these dis eases are prevalent.
 The proper way to guard against the 1nalaria1 germ and the serious diseases which follow it is to get into good condi- ton by taking a reliable remedy that will keep the bowels clear and the liver healthy, and to continue with it at ire lquent intervals during the sickly season. l A dose of Prick1y Ash Bitters three or four times week will do all of this, be- sides stimulating the digestion, improv- ing the appetite and keeping the bodily energy at the highest pitch.
 Prickly Ash Bitters is known every where as a system tonic and bowel regu- 1ator. It not only removes all traces of rnalarial poison from the system, but tones up the vital organs, gives new strength and vigor, makes the body strong and the brain active.
 'Prckly Ash Bitters is the best all-around medicine for the family ever used. During the past ten years have always kept 1t in my house. Whenever any of my family show signs of mala- sia, kidney trouble, indigestion or constipation few doses is all that is needed to make then well and hearty again.-W. H. McWILLIANg Pickering, La.
