falling off was due to the boil weevil
1t is expected that Hattiesburg will
receive 1900 additional bales this sea-
son owing to the fact that the COM
press burned last season and this will
be the logical place for most of that
cotton to be compressed. F. L. Mat
thews, manager of the Hattiesburg
Compress, and I. V. Austin, a local
cotton man, went to Columbia last
week and made arrangements with the
people there to have much of their
cotton sent here. Last year they rails
ed $500 bales but it is not probable,
says Mr.. Austin, that Hattiesburg will
get all of that this year.
Il would like to impress on the
farmers" said Mr.. Hauenstein, "the
Importance of raising little or no cot
ton next year if they get reasonable
price for the present crop. If the war
continues there will be no other way
OF getting good price for this crop
and the next. 1t is possible to get a
good price for both if the farmer will
cut his acreage down to half or less"
Here is what l want you to say as
coming from me-" said Mr.. Hauen-
stein: "Curtail the cropt next year."
Mr.. Hauenstein was very earnest
when he said, tell the farmers not to
plant much cotton if any next year" II
is frequently the case, he said, that the
best way to get the farmers to plant
big crop is to tell them that all the
other farmers are going to curtail, but
it is of vital Importance to the farmers
interest to make something else his
money crop next season and plant
only a little cotton"
Mr., Hauenstein says that he will
probably attend the cotton conference
in New Orleans tomorrow and has
heard that several other bankers will
also be there to represent Hattiesburg
1t is understood that l. v. Austin and
John A. Mcleod are preparing to be
in New Orleans also for the confer
ence.

The entrance of Japan into the Teu
tonic war, means this to Germany:
If France be crushed, there remains
Russia; if Russia should be defeated
there remains Great Britain; and be
hind Great Britain is Japan. If Ger.
many should sweep two nations out OF
her way there still would exist great
err task than Russia assumed in the
orient.
1t is this prospect which might give
concern to the stoutest German heart
the interminability of the struggle.
We may assume that Great Britain
cannot be destroyed even by German
victory over its allies. It's naval SUI
premacy protects it, If Germany
were everywhere victorious on the
continent it still would face two island
empires with enormous fleets.

with compromise; but would Great
Britain, backed by Japan, consent to a
peace which brought confusion II not

Dear Patrons-The teachers are
preparing a grand May festival to
be given at the Tulane University.
OF course such an occasion signifies
work on the part of the teachers.
Necessary funds, tickets, refresh
ments, mysteries, and in fact, every
thing that goes towards making an
affair of this sort a success, must be
obtained from somewhere, and we
teachers are soliciting your aid in
this matter.
This festival is to be given for
the purpose of raising funds for the
support of those teachers who are
disabled, through physical or mental
weakness, to continue in the life
work for which they are best fitted.
In recognition of the good work
that the public school teachers have
done for you and yours, we trust that
you will be able to assist us by

Tides of the Mind.

Shakespeare tells us that there Is a
tide in the affairs Of men. Certainly
there is a tide in the minds Of men.
He must be very unobservant Of him
self who does not know that the mind
rises and falls. that it swells into full
ness and strength and then fades into
emptiness and weakness. we know not
how, we know not why. Formerly the
tides Of the sea were also a great mys-
terry. Slowly did observation disclose
that they were under the influence of
the moon and. still later. Of the sun.
So with the tides of the mind. We are
taught now that they are caused and
governed by our faith and by our love.

Isle Railway Company TO place its
entire rOadbed, tracks and bridges
in first-class condition. and to re-
place the present rails from Gretna,
La, to Alliance, La, with not less
than eigntypound steel rails" This
action is regarded as unfair by the
railway company. and the bill of COM
plant asks that the Federal court
grant an injunction restraining and
enjOining said State Railroad Com
mission of Louisiana from putting or
continuing in force and effect, or
from commanding and requiring the
New Orleans Southern and Grand Isle
Railway Company to discontinue the
carriage of freight and passengers
over its line in Louisiana. or from
investigating or considering any
phase of said railway company's
operations with a view of requiring

proceedings before or by it, for the
payment of any fines or penalties
or for any forfeiture against said
New Orleans Southern and Grand
Isle Railway Company for its failure
to comply with orders Nos. 1866 and
1404 of said commission"
II is the belief of speaker that the
enforcement of these two orders
would virtually have the effect of put
ting the road out of commission, as
the great expense attached to the
improvements suggested make them
out of the question, owing TO the
company's financial condition. In
asking for the injunction, the petit
ton states further, "and from insti-
tuting, authorizing or directing 9TH
ers to prosecute or institute any suit
or suits, action or actions, against
said New Orleans, Southern and
Grand Isle Railway Company, for the
recovery of any penalties under and
by virtue of the failure of said rail-
way company to put into effect said
orders Nos. 1866 and 1404, herein
directed, or by reason of the failure
of said railway company, or its Of
ficers and agents, to comply with
the order issued March 10, 1914. by
said Railroad Commission of Louis
lana, to New Orleans Southern and

1866 and 1904, as well as the order
issued by the Railroad Commission
to compel the road to show cause
why it should not be discontinued, be
