MISS POWELL MARKETS PRODUCTS.
Mississippi Woman Shows Chicago
Some New Wrinkles Benefits
Derived from Work.

Chicago, Ill.-What gardening
and canning are doing to the high
cost of living throughout an entire
state was shown when the surplus
canned goods of Mississippi was
marketed in Chicago by Miss Susie
V Powell. superintendent of, the
state department of educational
extension WORK of that common
wealth. The American Society for
Thrift, which co-operated with her
efforts owing to its direct bearing
on the plan of President Simon
W. Straus for school gardening, re-
ported in bulletin the Mississip-
plans success: Throughout the
entire south the lack of thrift has
been found particularly conspicuous
in the failure to grow food supplies
vegetables. fruit and meat
needed by the urban and rural
population. Therefore the State
wide progress which demands
market outlet for the surplus is a
radical step in advance; one pro-
noting the thrift, happiness and
prosperity of hundreds of thousands
of people. The Girls Tomato club,
Eorganized by counties and connect
ed with the public school system of
Mississippi. raised vegetables. to-
matoes. corn, squashes. beans and
cabbages and canned them and
labeled them with the club labels
which are a guarantee as to their
quality Delicacies appeared last
year on the farm tables unheard of
in many rural families before;
empty shelves in the pantry were
laden with vegetables and fruits
for years use The proceeds
from the surplus paid the expenses
of some girls through the agricul-
tural high school, others bought
pianos and paid for music lessons,
and one states that last fall she
was able to buy pretty trousseau
and get married and is now prepar-
ed to be a good housekeeper. The
gardening and canning is correlated
with the regular school work, the
former being carried on under the
direction of county agents appoint
ed by Miss Powell. who takes
charge of the work after the school
teachers have interested the chill
dren and organized the local clubs. !"

EXPERT SHOWS THAT DEFUNGT
BANK JUGGLED ITS BOOKS
1t Looks Like DepOsitOrs in Canton
Institution Will Lose Heavily,
from MOOre'S ReDOrt,

Jackson, Miss, April 21.-Ad-
vices from Canton state that all
propositions and counter PROPOSE
tions looking to an adjustment of
the affairs of the defunct Mississ-
ippi State Bank have been rejected
and it now seems certain that its
affairs will be wound up by receiv-
ers, and the depositors and other
creditors will receive only such
dividends as may be realized from
the assets. a good portion of which
are of doubtful character.
The report of Charles j. Moore,
expert accountant. showing how
the books of the bank were Jug
gled, and the heavy loans made to
various industrial enterprises. has
created even a greater stir among
the depositors than the closing OF
the institution several weeks ago
While it was known that the
bank had furnished financial back =
ing to a number of concerns it was
not believed that the loans were Sc
extensive as the report of the ex-
pert accountant shows. For in
stance, the assets listed show that
loans we're made to a land concern.

SUGGESTION OF ERROR
IN The SIMMONS CASE

| District Attorney Hugh Wall
filed a suggestion of error in the
j. E Simmons case on Friday.
The first time the Supreme Court
reversed the verdict upon the
grounds of admitting hearsay evi
dence: the second time upon the
sole ground of the granting of an
instruction for the State upon the
question of circumstantial evil
dence. without the qualification. as
noted in last Wednesdays issue
ITO the exclusion of every other
reasonable hypothesis"
Mr.. Wall analzyes the decisions
of the Supreme Court in a number
of cases. noting that the court
stated that the facts were so close
that the instructions constituted
reversible error, and in each case
the State relied on clrcumstantial
evidence for conviction This is
not the case in the Simmons case,
as the crime was proven by eye
witnesses and by confession in a
question to the little girl. and by
the little girls. IF you tell this
on me they will hang Papa -
Mr.. Wall then vehementIy de-
fends action of our court which is
as convincing and clear as possible
that the wording and not the mean
ing is the only thing complained of
and that he expressions beyond a
reasonable doubt" and TO the ex-
clusion. etc" are Synonymous
terms.
Mr.. Wall is defending this case
purely in the interest of justice
and has no personal or pecuniary
interest.
The Court. should by all means
consider seriously the suggestion
of error and affirm the case. Mr..
Wall offers to appear and produce
argument against the injustice
shown in the reversal of the Sim,
mons case.

SOME DEpOSITORS DO NOT
SEEM TO WANT CHECKS

The assignees of the Commercial
Bank report that there are still a
large number of checks for divi-
dends for depositors held at the
bank on account of the fact that
there are no known addresses to
which to send them
There is no doubt but that some
of the parties to whom credit is
due are dead. their relatives possi-
bly, not knowing of their deposit.
Others put In their money without
giving any address and have moved
around since that time from place
to place and unless their addresses
Iare ascertained or their checks
called for they will not get the
money that ID due them.

proved twice not to be schedule

noyance. inconvenience and expense
to the two car owners as we'll as
others involved Sunday night.
Sunday afternoon a man driving
car on his way to GuIfport passed
through the city. At about nine
O'Clock Burrel Spencer received a
long distance call from him to GO
and help him out of trouble The
party had begged up hub deep in
the Pearl river swamp near Monti-
cello and had broken pinion try
ing to get out
Mr.. Spencer summoned Bob
Storm to carry himself and a helper
out to the scene and by a. m =,
Monday morning the crippled car
had been repaired and was under
way again
After about five miles made on
the return trip something akin to
train collision as to jolt and
noise reused Spencer from a nap on
the rear seat of Storms car, and
an investigation developed that the
crank snaft had broken in two.
Spencer and his helper then walked
mile to get to a house where
they intended to secure a buggy
and horse. On inquiry here from
a negro who owned the place. it
was learned that he only had a
horse with no saddle, much less a
buggy; 'but it was only three
miles up the road to Mr.. john
sons. who he was sure would &C.
commodate the gemmen. Spen-
Ger then decided to cut across coun-
try and catch the Mississippi Gen.
tral train into Brookhaven. which
was accomplished in the ''wee sma'
hours"
Storm arrived in Brookhaven
after dark Monday night. he and
his machine being towed by two
old reliables "a pair of mules.

rather dubious and somewhat
alarmed over the matter. and being
unable to get response to his con-
tinuous knocks upon the door the
policeman called up former As
sistant Cashier. L. H. Baggett and
told him of the occurrence, inti-
mating that maybe somebody had
committed suicide in the build
ing" Mr. Baggett replied by
stating he would come down if
necessary, but to phone Auditor
Chas. ]. Moore-that it might be
possible he had been working in
the bank and had fallen asleep.
When the officer had followed
this suggestion. he found Moore
had not been working, but was
advised that the noise. no doubt,
was emanating from the lusty lungs
of his fine English bull dog, Park

short. who had been left in the
