A Fine Peanut Crop.

Wallace Atkinson, president of
the mercantile firm of G. Atkinson

as much of a success at farming as
he is in buying cotton-and that is
admitting great deal'-furnishes

crop Of peanuts this year.
He planted eighteen acres of
ordinary land to peanuts, and re-
Gently gathered 1850 bushels of
fine nuts and eighteen tons of
prime hay from the land. leaving
from 5 to Z per cent in the ground
that will help fatten hogs AT the
prevailing price of peanuts. 65 cta

The hay is worth at least Sl4 per
ton, OF totsI of $252. making a
grand total Of 1884 SO as the result
of the crop.
MIR. Atkinson kept strict
charge account against the crop

THE NEED OF JUVENILE REFORMATORY

Necessity for place to send ju-
venile incofrigi ibles becomes very
apparent to anyone who will spend
an hour at the police or justice
courts in Gulfpsrt or Biloxi. 1t is
very often the case that bad
youngsters are brought into court
on some charge involving infrac-
tions of the law, but what can a
Judge with a heart in him, do but
deliver lecture and turn the kids
loose to go and do the same or
worse act again! OF course they
can do no work of any consequence
and will doubtless be up before
that Justice or another one quite
soon again It is a shame that
Mississippi has no juvenile reform
atory, for if there are no more
than dozen children put there in
twelve months and they are made
men of the school will have do1e
great good.-Guifpport Booster
,GreenviIle could have sent half
of the dozen to the reformatory
within the pest several months,
had the reformatory existed. The
Democrat has been fighting for a
juvenile reformatory in Mississippi
for a quarter of century. and
while there is apparently no real
oppositlol to such an institution
somehow one legislature after an
other has failed to agree on the
kind Of refcrmatory that should be
established and the result is to
date no reformatory at all
Let US hupe that the next Isgis-
Iature will be able to agree on a
bill that will provide a place for
the bad boys of the state, a place
where they may be developed into
good citizens. -Natchel Democrat

PHILADELPHIA, Pa-Willie E. Da-

to national tennis circles. Because of
his previous obscurity, both East and

CUSTOM, especially since his recent tri-
urlph over Wallace johnson, whom he
recently defeated in three-set match.
Every California player who has left
a marked impression on tennis circles

previous to his arrival a reputation
for ability on the Pacific coast Their
prowess can be traced from scholastic
to collegiate triumphs.
Nearly all Californians have the can

impressed with the similarity of his
style as compared with the prominent
players from the Sunset state There
is a general Pacific coast atmosphere

court. When he throws the ball into
the air on his service and makes the
sharp contact over the upper portion

Nerve in Business World
Let us get away from the field of

nerve in business will do. The Giants
played 2 game in Toledo. O., on an
on day for the benefit of the employees
OF big automobile company. The
owner of this organization has rolled
a shoestring into millions through
nerve. On this day he was giving his
thousands of employees an outing at

Ability and Luck.
The ordinary run Of ball players will
tell you that the great stars are born

where they are. But they don't stop
to figure the fact that when a man
has a certain unusual amount of abiI.
ity it gives him this luck they talk
about. II Ty Cobb comes to the bat
and hits one to an infielder and he
fumbles, the players declare that Cobb
is lucky. But they don't stop to fig

he must hurry it to make the play

Nerve is the supreme asset In any
sport-and business, too. for that mat
ter. Nerve is the ability TO show your
best under the most critical circum-
stances-to be a good money player,
as the big Lacquer puts it. There are
hundreds of men in the bushes OF
both business and sport who have the
stun to be big leaguers, but who lack
the nerve.
When Jerome Travers teed up his
ball for the last hole. he had to make
a four to win the open championship.
The test of nerves was supreme, This
is the time when the busher flops and
the big Lacquer shows his stuff. Trav-
ers kissed that ball of the tee over
all sorts of hazards for about 240
yards. He displayed what is known
as class and a lions heart. The four
was easy for him. would wager
there are hundreds of golfers in the
United States who could do the same
thing If nothing depended on the four.

duplicate Travers' performance against
the SINE hazards, those Of the course
and the mental one.
Stroud Shows Class.
Ralph Stroud came up to the Giants
this year. He hasn't a world of stuff,
this fellow-not world of stuff II you
measure him beside Johnson or Alex
ander or some of those pitchers. But
he has a heart. He went into the
box facing crisis and won an extra

showing nerve in the pencil.
