"THE PERILs OF PAULINE
4 Strong Cast to be Presented at the
Opera House Saturday, Dec. 5.

The sixth episode Of "The Perils Of
Pauline" will be presented at the
Opera House tomorrow, Dec. 9Th. One
Of these episodes have been given ev-
cry two weeks, and have been among
the most popular Of the movies.
The following is the story Of the
sixth episode;
The last attempt to 5ecure Pauline's
fortune having failed the Two villains
are desperate. Harry is exerting Ill
bis influence 70 haze Pauline mary
him at once and they see their oppor-
tunities slipping fast. When looking
around they see that there is going TO
be- a balloon ascension and they de-
eide to get Pauline to the grounds
trusting TO be able TO do something
there TO cause an accident. Pauline,
much to the chaRrin Of the conspira-
tors asks Harry to go along. When
they arrive the balloon is about to 20
up. Harry unconsciously helps them -
asking Pauline to see what sitting in
a balloon basket feels like. just as
she enters the basket a wild horse runs
away and in dashing through the
crowd knocks over the men who are
holding the ropes. Pauline is carried
up alone in the balloon. She is carried
some distance and then the anchor
catches in some rocks. There is only
one way down. She is forced to slide
down the rope. Harry has been follow
ing the course Of the balloon in his
car and arrives in time to see Pauline
land on a ledge about half way down
a cliff. The sides Of the cliff are 50
steep that there is no way either up
or down. He gets rope and proceeds
to slide down to her. Just then the
conspirators arrive on the scene and
cut the rope. Both Harry and Pauline
are caught in the trap. A good idea
comes to Harry and he climbs up the
rope to the balloon and pulls the
cutting rope, The balloon falls and
they have rope to the ground. Hicks
and Owen, however, are on the job,
and as they land they are attacked.
Harry is knocked senseless and Paul
inc is carried away and locked up in
an old house She at last is in the pow
err Of the two people interested in her
disappearance and Harry has been left
unconscious far behind.

Dear Sovereign;
Noticed in the Herald that either
you or Tom Mrnage, or both, had
married, Knew that you were particu-
lar friends, but never thought you
would marry each other. Guess you
were just afraid to say no when Turn
age asked you and just had to marry
him.
Mrs. Neal has bought her a bicycle
and will start to Mississippi on 1t in
few days.
have been informed that times are
pretty hard with some over there, but
the thing that bothers me is where to
put my money. Am making it so fast
that l have to hire a man to count it.
Hope his will find you and yours en-
Joying good health.
Yours very truly,

REV. N. B. HARMON
Will Preach His Last Sermon of This
Conference Year Next Sunday.

VIII ANoNh tflS Last sotfWOu VI 4 MS
Conference Year Next Sunday.
The annual conference Of the Metho-
dist Church will convene at Columbus
next Wednesday, and Rev. Mr.. Har-
mon expects to leave Tuesday to be in
attendance. He has served the Metho-
dist congregation in this city for two
years, and while he will preach his
last sermon for this conference year
on next Sunday, yet his people expect
him back to serve them for at least
two more years. He is one Of the best
preachers and most lovable men in
the conference, and is always in de-
mand by the best churches, and Yazoo
City was fortunate indeed, in getting
him for pastor.
The Methodist Church has prosper
ed during the past year, III members
having been added to the roll, and
while many have been lost by death
and removal, yet this leaves a sub
stantial increase. Besides the regular
conference collections and amount for
the support Of the church, something
over $4,000 has been raised for the
debt on the church and interest.
1t is the universal desire of the
Methodist congregation, and we be-
1ieve this desire is shared by all the
people of the city, that Mr.. Harmon
and his excellent family be returned
to Yazoo City for the coming year.

j. w. McRaven, formerly manager Of
the Newton oil mill, but who is now
manager of the Producers Oil com
pany, at Yazoo City, was on the stand
all Of yesterday afternoon. He was
not questioned regarding any facts
connected with alleged attempts TO fix
the prices Of cotton seed, merely iden-
tifying documents handed TO him by
the attorney general. Many Of these
documents and letters referred to seed
prices and agreements, being very
similar in tone and purport to those
already described, and which were in
trodueed when +. Calm was on the
stand in Meridian and NJ X. Hall in
Laurel. Mr.. McRaven admitted that
he was a member Of the "Sons of
Plato. "-Jackson Daily News.
But Mr.. Raven joined the Sons Of
Plato because in one sense he had to
do so for self-preservation. He and
the mills similar to the one which he
superintendent were squeezed by the
"man higher up" 1t is the system,
and not simply the Sons Of Plato, who
were to blame. A few Wall Street
magnates forced the smaller oil mills
TO sell their oil at low prices, and the
oil mills in turn squeezed the farmer
to get even. The ones who ought to
be prosecuted are the Wall Street
men.

Co-0perative Farming

In this age of cooperation. in which manufacturing and eommer- cial interests have attained won derful development and success by merging their resources, 1t is not to be wondered al that co-opera- tion has slowly but inevitably wen ded way into rural life. The old method of individualism Is gradually giving away to the CO operative spirit and the result is a greatly reduced cost of living and lessened expense of farming.
 Arkansasas farmers are leading the cooperative movement and it is gradually being extended into every feature of community life.

Imported Draft Horses No Longer Necessary.

With the exception of a very lim- tied number from EnglAnd, imper- tation into the United States of pure bred draft horses for breeding purposes has been practical y stopped by the outbreak of the Flu ropean war. For several years previous, from 2.5OO to 4,OOC stallions and mares have been brought annually into this country. In the opinion of experts in u e United States Department of Agri- culture, however, the standard of draft horses in America will not suffer from the interruption of these importations. There is, it is said. sufficiently large amount of pure blood already in this country to answer all requirements and the American draft horse will now have an opportunity to demonstrate it's own qualities.

Will Be A Great Help.

The Profitable Farming cam paign is going to be of trenend- uous help to the people in solving their financial problems. It is go- ing to mean money for the farmer, and for all the business interests of the state.
 Raising a sixty-tWo million dol lar cotton crop in Arkansas and then sending sixty-three million dollars to other states for the ne- cessities of life is not money making business and never will be. Cotton has it's place in the South, and nearly every farmer will have his cotton patch for years to come. but depending upon cottop for his money or even large part of it will not bring wealth or higher priced lands.
 The only truly prosperous farm ing sections in the United States are those in which there are a di- versity of crops and plenty of live stock and poultry. In Iowa land has advanced from $5 and $1O per acre to $l5o and $2OO per acre. because of diversified farming and the raising of chickens, hogs dairy COWS and beef cattle.
 Arkansas can do the same thing that Iowa has done and do 1t better because the soil in this state is just as good and the climate is far su- perior We can cut five ops of alfalfa year in Arkansas, where as the people of Iowa can cut only three. We can raise more corn to the acre than Iowa can. We can get more from the land, and we can get just as good prices for our products by feeding them to live stock.
 We haven't got the markets that Iowa has, but we will have just as soon as diversified farming and livestock raising are generally practiced throughout the state

 A whole lot of married men re- gard home as place where you change your clothes.
 Our idea of a glutton is grown man who can eat as much as lO- year-old boy.
 The popular idea of economy is to go without a lot of little things we need so we can get one big thing that we don't need.
 Most self-made men are satis- fled with the job, but a self-made woman never gets through putting on the finishing touches.
 A man will stand around and brag that no woman can boss him, and then the fathead will go and get married.

Arkansas Largest Producer of Aluminium Ore

Arkansas is first among the states in the production of two minerals s-bauxite and novaculte- the former being the ore of alumi- nun and the latter the source of the larger part of the oilstones produced in the United States.
