Making the Little
Farm Pay
By c. c. BOwsFIELD

General progress toward more sat
isfactory condition of commercial
farming Is noted. Small farms and a
higher rate OF production are the order
Of the day. Perhaps there Is Il greater
advancement In the development of
money making vegetable crops than in
any other line of agriculture How
ever, IL is n time of progress in ali
branches OF agriculture. and If the
gardeners who supply the urgent
wants of city market keep pace with
the larger farmers they will have
something to boast of.
1t is little enough to claim that many
owners of small tracts Of land have in
the last two or three years learned
much that is to their advantage. They
have not only found out how to pro
duce larger crops, but they have learn.
ed to raise those products for which
there Is the steadiest demand at profit
able rates. There is ample encourage
ment for farmers in the rapid growth
of towns, the incessant demand for
household supplies and the high level
Of prices reached, which seems to be
permanent.
II is only within a very few years
that conditions have become so favor
able to truck growers. 1t not only
takes a fair range of prices to make
commercial gardening pay, but there
must be q steady market demand

cHANcELLoRS AND JUDGES
SWORN IN

On Monday the chancellors and
Judges elected in November were
sworn in by the clerks of the
courts as they opened. In a
number of instances the terms
for which the chancellors and
judges were appointed had not
expired and the act placing in
effect the constitutional amend
ment set out of office those hold
ing unexpired terms. In this
district, Judge Claude CLAYTON,
Judge of the first circuit court
district, was elected to succeed
himself and was sworn IN Monday
at Iuka, where he was holding
court. Chancellor 7. l.. Lamb,
who was appointed to succeed
Chancellor Robins, failed of cleo
ton in November and is sue
ceeded by A. j. Mcintyre. of
Bonneville, the successful con-
testant, who was also sworn IN.
Reports from Jackson have
indicated that a contest would be
made for the purpose of testing
the validity of the change from
an appointive to an elective sys-
tenn. This matter, however, has
already in certain phases, been
thrashed out in the courts and
the proposed litigation will doubt
less fail to materialize.
The state now occupies the
anomalous position of having a
judiciary that is both elected and
appointed. The supreme court
justices hold by virtue OF ap-
pointment, two of them with
commissions from Gov. Brewer,
and one, Chief Justice Smith,
with a commission from Governor
Noel.
The amendment which sought
to change the supreme court to
an elective system was carried
by a majority in the November
election, but the change cannot
be made until another Legislature
is elected and passes a bill en-
grating the new amendment into
the constitution and providing
for the election of members Of
the supreme court.

prehensive knowledge of parlia-
mentary law and famillarized
himself with the workings of
legislative bodies. His votes
were cast for those measures
which he believed were for the
best interest of the people of the
county and state and against
those measures which, in his
opinion, would work to the Diet
riment of the people. He is pro.
gressive in his ideas and support
ed the measures looking to pub
lie Improvement. He introduced
a good roads bill which became a
law and under which some of
the good roads in this county are
now being constructed.
Should he again be sent to
represent the people he promises
to conscientiously guard their
every interest.

uSJ, mas landed IN IamplcO, mexico,
on his way to Juarez to do battle with
Jess Willard, challenger for the
heavyweight championship. Possibly
you can get a thrill out of this news.
We can't.
The promoters of this battle would
never have arranged the mill if there
had been any, doubt of Johnson
reaching the scene. Keeping him un-
der cover so long has been only an
other step in the campaign to mush-
room artificial interest in a scrap that
doesn't look any too good as a sport
ing proposition.
The average fan knows that John
son, in condition, could lick quar-
tet of WiIlards in the same ring in
one evening. The Johnson out of
condition could be whipped by a good
middleweight. And that viii not make
a victory for Willard a very impress
siVe performance,
All kinds of stratagems have been
resorted to in order to stir up the apa-
thetic public over this ight-so-
called by courtesy. Eugene CORR,
the great English referee, was at one
time going to be the third man in
the ring. Then the promoters an
nounced that CORR wanted too much |
money. Ridiculous on the face Of it,
for CORR is wealthy and is connected |
with boxing only for the sport of it. |
johnson has billed to arrive in
Mexico in all sorts Of conveyances.
The best yarn was that he would drop |
into Juarez in an airship, the promot-
ers furnishing the air.
From the gate receipts the promot-
ers are not going to grow wealthy,
after paying Johnson's guarantee and
salving Gen. Villa. Their only chance
to, clean up is on the motion pictures.
And viii the pictures be a bonanza if
the smoke wins? Not at all. What's
the answer. We think so, too.

side of the road, halted a second and
then turned turtle.
Before the car had turned over,
