Good Books.

With the approaching Christ
mas, there is no subject that cal
be considered with so much sin
ccrity as the choosing of books as
gifts. While they have always
been one of the main items in ouI
catalog of gifts, the choosing has
been too careless; we have looked
at the binding, and appearance Of
the book, more than at the title
and subject matter; and they often
find a place in the library seldom
to be read and in many cases it
were better so.
There is no gift more acceptable
than a Good Book; there is no
gift more valuable and lasting than
a Good Book. On the contrary.
there is no gift so detrimental, es-
pecially to the young, than trashy
and oftentimes vicious books.
The greatest need of the present
is to inculcate in our young minds,
a desire for good reading, as it has
more to do with the future wei.
fare of people than anything else;
it often shapes the destiny and
character of the person, and de-
termines, in a large measure, the
worth OF detriment OF the indivi.
dual to society, and his resultant
happiness or misery.
The dime noval is rapidly dis
appearing; but, bewarel These
authors finding their circulation
curtailed, have begun to issue the
same matter in the shape of bound
books, and are thus the much more
formidable, for the careless choos-
er is more liable to select these. as
cheap books meet the popular
purse.
We should not, however, abate
our custom in making books one
of the principal items of our gift
list, but on the other hand, let
caution direct us in the choosing.

DaiyiHg Pays in Noxub Coagty.

"That distant hills are green, " and
that a prophet is not without honor,
save in his own countryP are adsged
as t ue as they are old. Weoften over
rate the success of those who live at a
distance, and do not appreciate the
abilities of our own neighbors.
Noxubee county has a man who has
made a distinct success at dairying.
That man is Mr.. NJ. E. Coffman who
lives north Of Macon on the Columbus
road. He has owned his place six years
and has operated a dairy for five years
during which time he has received an
average annual sun of 81, 600 as his in
come as manager of his farm. This
sum must be considered as a net in
come, all living expenses having first
been paid. Besides this average an
nual income, Mr.. Coffman can figure
a good profit in the increased value of
the land in six years.
Mr.. Coffman's farm consists of 256
acres of the black prairie land, which
is characteristic Of this section. He
has the necessary equipment to con-
duct a dairy, and that equipment in
cludes a silo. He has evidently been a
good judge Of the dairy COW, and has
been a good manager. He has 'kept
books" IN his farm and has the salts
faction of knowing what he has done.
These figures compare we'll with
those from dairies in the state of Wis
%consin, the state where dairying has
reached its greatest development in
this country. Prof. D. Fl. Otis, of the
Wine nsin College of Agriculture, in
vestigated $50 Wisconsin farms in 1918
to ascertain the net incomes of farms
in that state. In a recent number of
'Hoard's Dairyman," Prof. Otis gives
the results of his Investigations. We
learn that of the $50 far ms inyestigat-
ed, the average" farm, consisting of
ITO acres and valued at $125. 90 per acre,
yielded a net income of ST., 300. 90. A
careful study of the "Hoard's Dairy
man. article leads US to believe that it
altogether possible to duplicate here
in Noxubee county the best results
which Wisconsin dairyman produce.
What we need is the man of experience
and capital; the county can furnish the
natural conditions,

Peace at Home.

The members of a family should
endeavor to cooperate to make
their home the dearest place on
earth. 1t should be for them an
abode of peace, of rest, of mutual
consideration, and of affection.
They should be reluctant to leave
it in the morning and eager to re.
turn to it at night.
But in too many homes there is
everlasting nagging, fussing, snarl.
ing, scolding, rudeness, falt. find.
ing, incivility and dislike. There
is offensive talk. There are un.
kind actions. The meetings at
table are not used for CHEEKY con.
versation. for laughter, for the ex.
ercise of good manners; but for the
telling of unpleasant things, for
chickering's, and for displays ofim.
p~oliteness.
Such homes are, in this matter,

CAPITAL
IN

At the recent elections the cit.
liens of Arizona voted on the
question whether or not to abol.
ish the death penalty for crime.
The vote resulted in Yes 18, 49,
and No 10, 1929. So capital pun
ishment remains in force in that
state. Fourteen men are there
awaiting execution.
"As December 10 has been
designated as the execution
date for eleven of them. so
there will be eleven hangings
in Florence penitentiary on
that date" says Governor
Hunt. 81 do not have the
power to commute senten-
ences, because | put the ques-
ton up to the people. and
they have given the verdict"
1t does not follow that because
the people refused to abolish the
death penalty so that no criminal
however, guilty could be so pun
ished, that they would not want
the governor. in any case, on a
proper showing, to exercise his
authority to commute the sem
tence of any man convicted of
murder.
