The Business Mems Club of Memphis is Joining in pushing the
crop Investigation, an intensive farm movement of the South. This
organization has announced that it expects to arrange to send lee
turers into A countie, in Niss~lppi and into about As many coun-
ties IN Tennessee and in Arkansas. The counties which desire this
farm educational work will be expected to provide hotels Tor the
lecturers while in the county and to furnish automobiles, or other
conyeyances, to carry them to appointments. The movement is d
good one and should be encouraged by the farmers and other bust
ness interests of the country. 1t Is hoped that Grenada County will
avail itself OF the opportunity to utilize d plan which leads 70 farm
independence and to d better business understanding among our
people. Somebody has said you can talk or write anything Cd or
Gown " If this be true. and experience and observance shows US
hat 1t very largely is, then the farmers O. the South havr an oppor-
tunty laid at their doors that they never had before. Every class
and evcr -4tHng seems to be trying t. talk and write the business
IF the farmer up, and as an evidence of the success in this line. one
only needs to refer to the prices the farmer, are realizing for their
products now d, compared to what. they received some fifteen and
twenty years ago The farmer OF the country are in better condi-
uon today han ever before, and this comes about largely IN spite of
the farmers themselves. The intensive farm and crop divtr-iAcation
movement being turthered by the federal government started the
business OF the farmer upward, and the government is still pushing
j. upward, notwithstanding many farmers seem to prefer the old,
them by the government.
We repeat that we hope that steps will be taken in Grenada
county to get the benefit OF the educational farm work being done
BY the Memphis Bushes. Mems Club.

Isl possible that the Democratic majority in Congress will
again show that it can be depended upon ito act the fool at the
right time, TO insure the success of the Republican party, in the
matter OF standing behind President Wilson on his preparedness
program: He should receive the united and active aid of every
loyal member OF his party. The program for better war prepared
ness, as outlined by the President, which be will urge upon Con
gress, Is conservative. 1t seems to be d happy medium between the
easy going, peace at-any-price and ultra war element of the country.
Up to the outbreak Of the European war, it was our opinion that we
had army and navy enough. We thought people had reached that
point OF intelligence that they knew better than to have wars but
we realize that we were mistaken. If other nations ae equipping
themselves with all possible war supplies and armed preparations
for conflict, then it is foolish for the United States to seat itself upon
its launches and wait until we are hit before we get ready. If ma
tons are out tor wal for the most they can acquire by conquest and
tor booty, then the riches of this country furnish the most inviting
field in the world. We can whip the world if. they will come over
here but we would have a "deevl' of a time OF it with our army and
navy of the present, 1t would take Us now years perhaps to repel
an invasion, but with a sufficient army and navy and other due pre-
paredness, we could accomplish within a few months, thereby saving
the lives OF millions Of our people, what it would take as many
years 70 do.
President Wilson is on the right track. If Claud Kitchens, who
Is said to be slated for majority leader in the lower house of con-
Igress, Is is going to buck the Presidents game, then little Claudy
should not be placed where he couAl make a n ass OF himself and
again exhibit the incompetence of he Democratic party.

WHY BUY IN

Why buy IN Grenada: Our answer. in the first place. IS that it
Is to our interest to DO so. 1t is our moral obligation 10 do so. We
help ourselves bV dong 80 OF course no one would denv that anv
and everybody has a legal right 10 spend his OF her money wherever
he n she elects. but there are obligations or rights that ar more
binding ohentimes than legal ones. If We want Grenada 20 grow,
we must not expect somebody Use 10 help il do the growing. If
NC want d bigger and better Grenada, We must contribute our
part toward, that end. There Is a feeling among the world gener.
eraly that there IS something away from home better than at home
IN other words. "a prophet is not without honor save in his own
country" Grenada merchants can buy, and do buy. Just as good
-four a, those of any other town. Grenada merchants can buy. and
do buy, Just as good gents ready made clothing as those Of anv
o.hsr town. Grenada merchants buy their ladies tailored suits
from the same places that those of Memphis and other cities buy
them: this being true, does 1t not stand to reeson that a Grenada
merchant can afford to sell, and does sell, such articles che auer than
the Memphis merchant for the reason that the Grenada merchant
DAVIS less rent and less taxes and therefore does not add as much to
the purchase price Of his goods as the Memphis man? Whether
neople have thought of this or not, it is true. Our merchants tell us
that they never duplicate suits. They buy to please the trade lust
as any other set of merchants do. We ask our people, who often 90
elsewhere to buy, to think. We often walk over pearls watching
for bubbles
1t is to the interest Of each and all of IS to trade at home. If

PARDONs.

Gov. Brewer has been severely criticised for pardoning con.
vets In some instances the criticism may be deserved; but Gov
brewer i human and IN exercising the pardoning power made some
lst as every other governor and every pardoning board
has done IN the past, and as they will do in the future. The light
IN winch the granting of a pardon is viewed is largely through per
ieeHnS 1t It's d TREND who receive, it. We feel The yrantor
actuated by the most humane and honest motives; if on the
hand, 1t IS extended 10 one who inflicted Pc sonal injury or
to a relative or TREND, then we feel that justice has been out
ragged and M decree OF The courts set at naught. If it is granted
TO one whom t know not nor have any interest in, then it IS a mat
Ter Of peItect m1lHerenCe 50 we may expect criticism of Gov.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION
PLANNED IN RUSSIA.
Sweeping Reform Will Be Decreed at
End of War.

Word was received In this country
from an officer of the cars household
that the second wide sweeping reform
to be effected in Russia will be COM
pulsory education The letter states
that NJ. Kasso. minister of instruction
and religion, is formulating decree to
be issued on the termination Of the
present hostilitles and to be In full eff
feet throughout the empire after pc
Rod of five years. The matter is being
discussed by the ministers of the cars
cabinet 1t is generally believed that
the zemstvos. or local government
bodies. will heartily welcome the new
move in education and give it fnan-
cial support.
Prior TO the revolution of 1905 little
progress had been made in Russia as
regards education. and since then, in
spite of the serious consideration of
the matter by successive dumas. no con
siderable or permanent reforms have
been effected The autocracy's distrust
of the dissemination OF western ideas
of government through free schools
baffied attempts al Improvement in
public instruction during the nineteenth
century While the standard Of uni
versity instruction is high in Russia,
the state of the secondary and primary
schools leaves much to be desired.
Most of the primary education is I'M
der the direction of the ministry of
public instruction and the Holy Synod
The one good feature of the Russian
primary school system is the practical
instruction given in gardening, bee
keeping and manual training.
The total expenditure on primary
schools in 1900 was S25.O00OOO. paid
by the zemstvos. villages and private
persons. The total grants from the
state for education of all grades in
1906 was S40.O00.O00 In 1897 the illit-
crates in the rural districts averaged
66 per cent and in the cities 20 per
cent. The education of women has
well in Russia
