At the last meeting of the directors
of the Better Farming Association of
Parke county, Ind, it was decided
that a Farmers Exchange should be
established and maintained by the as.
sociation for the purpose of making a
clearing house" for the things the
farmers may have to sell or exchange.
There are countless times that the
farmer may want to dispose of a few
bushels of seed corn or a machine or
a few pigs and there are many farm.
ers who would like to know where
they might find those very things. It
was therefore decided that all mem.
bers of the association could report
anything that they want to sell or
exchange to Mr.. Reeds Office and it
would be recorded and anyone want.
ing such material as has been listed
will be given the address of party
having same.
We will keep a Labor Bureau so
that anyone desiring to work on the
farm can be brought into communi.
cation with those who want to employ
labor.
This exchange will be maintained
by the Better Farming Association
for its members and no fee will be
charged them for it's services. The
Labor Bureau will be free to every.
body.
Send in list and description of
what you wish to dispose of and it
will be recorded and posted.

Senator Fletcher has introduced and
secured the passage Of the following
bill TO establish a fish cultural station
In Florida:

house of representatives Of the United
States of America in congress assem-
bled, that the sum OF $4,000, or so
much thereof as may be necessary. be

Tor the establishment of q fish cultural
station In the state of Florida, includ-
ing purchase OF sites. construction Of
buildings and ponds. and equipment, at
some suitable point to be selected by
the secretary Of commerce.: Provided,
that before any final steps shall have
been taken for the construction of
fish cultural station in accordance with
this act, the state OF Florida, through
appropriate legislative action shaH &C
cord to the United States commission

fering from the itch which he con-
tracted in Jackson the Maddox family
having been residents Of Jackson six
years. It is true that the mother and
daughter were sent to Meridian. and
it is also true that they didn't like
their environments in Jackson and
that they have secured work in this
city. When asked few days ago by
a Jackson lady if they didn't want to
"go back home" they to promptly said
no-that Jackson was to close to Me-
ridian to ever amount to anything.
If very poor people, who haven't
any furniture leave Meridian and seek
Jackson as a home, it is because they
find it more congenial there-a case of
like seeking like, misery loving COM
pany and birds Of a feather hocking
together etc.
There is no use talking. those Mis-
sissippi people certainly do know how
to talk to one another Reminds us of

My, My! Just Listen

Some time ago The Journal had oc-

ments which the newspapers of New
York and St Louis were handing each
other about their respective cities, but
they were tame compared with the
nice things which Meridian and Jack
son, Miss, are now saying about each

It seems that some one in Meridian
criticised the action of the Jackson au-
thorities in furnishing transportation
for a destitute family from Jackson
to Meridian. whereupon the Jackson
News says:
The family in question consisted
of Mrs. e. o. Maddox and her six
year-old daughter, who applied to
Mayor Taylor for transportation. say

Maddox was implicated with a boot
logging gang in this city last summer,
and ordered to leave Jackson for
Jaclxson's good
We fail to see wherein jackson has
offended the Associated Charities of
Meridian by this action. or how it can
justify the charge that We are dump
ing our poor and needy on that COM
munity.
Certain It is, Meridian is about the
last place on earth the poor and needy
of this universe ought to seek, judging
from the number OF poverty-s stricken
families who have moved out Of that
town within the past year.
Mayor Taylor doubtless deplored the

jackson to the so-called Queen City.
but, as their minds were fully made
up on that point, he not only gave
them railroad tickets, but also paid
the freight on their furniture ship

Most OF the folks who move from
Meridian to Jackson don't even have
any furniture, so the Associated Char
tiles cannot contend that Mrs. Maddox
and daughter were absolutely desti-

on their eastward journey
Also, while they resided in this city.

they have evidently been unable to do
in Meridian, as they have applied to
the Associated Charities for aid.
To all of which the Meridian Dis

retort:
Since jackson is not in Merchants

otherwise. the petty jealousies Of the
village on the muddy Pearl are usual

News is so far off concerning the
facts in this case that it needs to be
