Mrs. Maggie Hammond carries a
huge cash across her forehead. Both

A blow from the fist of a soldier
bIackened her eyes and blinded her.
She was dazed and doesn't remember
how she got away from that crowd
of terrified, struggling women, upon
whom these men in uniforms were
raining blows with their fists and
beating with their guns.
When she did get away, across her
forehead was a huge cash. 1t looked,

Visitin6 Rural Nurse.

In order to give q practical test
to the value of a visiting nurse in
rural communities, representatives
of the rural organization service
of the department helped the peo.
pie of Chiffon County, Ala, to
organize for the purpose of ap-
pointing a visiting trained nurse
and meeting her salary and ex-
penses. For this purpose the sum
of 81, 500 was raised, of which the
county board appropriated $500,
the school board $500 and private
individuals $500. The services of
a visiting nurse, certified by the
National Red Cross Society, were
secured at q salary of 1850 per
year and actual expenses. In the
expenses were included the pur-
chase Of a horse and buggy and
stabling and feed for the horse.
In order to enable the county to
appoint the nurse as q county Off
Ger, the nurse applied for and OBJ.
tained a third grade teachers Ger.

appointed as assistant county su-
perintendent of schools. To di-
rect her work and disburse the
money raised and appropriated,
the following committee was ap-
pointed: The county health off.

schools, county schools, county

The nurse has been actually en-.
gagged in her work now for more
than one month. Her work has
been as follows:

A special from Hattiesburg to

\ No bank in the country has
4 gained a higher reputation for
usefulness to its section than has
the First National Bank of Com
merce of this CITY. In the nine
1 teen years that Frank Foote has
been it's guiding genius, that
bank, organized first as a ste
bank and afterwards national
ized. has grown in capital and
surplus from $25. 900 to $3.50, 900;
\ in deposits from $40. 600 to over

batch Of dividend checks to it's
stockholders.
Despite the fact that his friends
believe he will win, they are
wasting no time in spreading
throughout this federal district
his reputation for ability, honesty
and energy.
It was Mr.. Foote who initiated
the fight Of the country banker

RurGl Credits and Farm Loans.
Tupslo Review.

Tupeio Review.
No doubt many a man, and es-
pecially many a farmer, has of
ten wondered why it was that
farm land was in many ways
such poor security for q loan.
Farm land is an asset that can
not be stolen or made away with
or hidden from creditors; 1t
fiuctuates little in value, and its
value, unlike that of stock in
many corporations, does not de-
pend largely on its management.
It's income and profits may de-
pend largely on management. Its
income and profits may depend
largely on management, but its
real value is independent.
The merchant and manufac-
turer can borrow money more
easily at as small or smaller rate
of interest and obtain a loan
greater in proportion to the value
of his security than the farmer
can On his land. When the
Warmer borrows money he has to
take pretty much what he can
get and on whatever terms the
lender chooses to lay down.
We believe that Hon Hardin
Brooks, in his speech here re-
Gently, hit the nail on the head
when he said the fault lay not in
the farm or the farmers and not
in our loan laws, but in our bank.
ing rules and regulations and the
law end custom of finance and
trade. Commercial paper-'bank-
able paper as it is called-does
not comprise farm loans. These
loans are not considered LIQUID
securities. Mr.. Brooks solution
of the difficulty is to have q sys-
tenn of National Farm Land
Banks analogous to our National
Banks. which are to be under
similar supervision, but to loan
only on farm lands and for agri-
cultural purposes. To cut out
land spectators, loans are to be |
made only on farm lands, and
then only to buy, improve, equip |
or pay off encumbrances on such |
'5fnds.
serhese banks, are to he author |
IN ID to receive deposits and loan,
hlem and their capital stock as
above indicated. They can then
deposit their farm mortgages,
which have already been ap-
proved bv the government, with
the national government and be
all )wed to issue and sell long
time bonds to an amount equal
70 the value of the mortgages so
deposited. The proceeds of these
oonds they can reloan to farmers
IN farm lands.
This system is a modified mod
81 of similar systems in operation
n England and on the continent
If Europe and is designed to
give to the farmers the financial
advantages long enjoyed by men
n other occupations and trades.
There is nothing radical or Wild
,at about this system. On the
contrary, it is conservative and
and long been sue
'essfully operated in other coun-
;ries.
Mississippi is ripe for such a
system. Her laws in regard to
he foreclosure of mortgages are
wise and conservative and the
lct passed by the last legislature
putting into effect the Torrens
'ystem of land transfers, which
an be used to practically guar
'ntee our titles, puts Mississippi
n a position to take every ad-
,antage of such a system of
arm land bands. There is moth
ng on the political and economic
lorizon that promises so much
benefit to the farmers
Iud to the entire country as this
system of farm land

that II was decidedly worth while TO
take the trouble. says the New York

ter is pure. II. on the other hand. the
liquid is cloudy some source OF con

The second test is TO drop few
grains OF permanganate OF potash into

stand for an hour. IL the water is
still Of the bright rosy color 10 which

TWO GULF STREAMS.
The One Of Air Is What Creates the
Deserts Of the East.

The gulf stream. as every one knows.
is n broad river OF warm water which
starts in the gulf Of Mexico. wanders
across the cold Atlantic ocean and
bumps into the British isles. giving
them a warm climate and no end Of fog
and rain. But few people know that In
the atmosphere above there is a second
Eulfstream OF warm, moist air.
This slow. damp breeze strikes the
British isles and does not carom or
like the gulf stream. but continues over
Europe As Il passes over Sweden. Fin
land and northern Russia these cold
lands chill the wind and cause Il 20
drop its moisture IN the form Of rain.
The lakes and rivers ~ these northern
countries are all supplied by the mols-
ture taken UP from the gulf stream.
The rotation Of the earth makes this
wind veer gradually TO the souihward
about the time IL has given up the last
Of its moisture and warmth. As a
mighty draft of dry. cold air. the gulf
! stream wind moves on across the plains
Of Russia As it approaches the equa-
Tor the wind warns again. but becomes
ever drier.

stan. Sahara and Arabia Fortunately
this devastating wind now leaves the
continent. becomes the trade winds and
returns to its starting point at the gulf

Several somewhat visionary schemes
have been suggested for altering the
course Of the gulf stream. One Of the
immediate results of any such change
would be the shifting of the present
deserts TO other parts of the world

MOLECULAR ATTRACTION,
That Is What Permits a Needle to

A steel needle laid carefully ON

the weight OF steel or iron is greater
than that Of an equal volume OF water.

Attraction OF molecules is force
that cxerts great influence IN nature
Thus this force draws particles of wa.
