The Commonwealth is pleased
to publish below the brief but in.
tensely interesting speech of Hon
James N. Dyson. at our Get
Acquainted and Good Roads Bar
becue on the 18th inst. Mr.. Dyson
is the capable President of the
Economic Power and Products
Company, of Philadelphia, Pa,
and one of the principal owners
of the big million dollar Paper
Pulp Factory to be built in Green
wood this summer.
The contract for the construc-
ton of the buildings for the ex-
tensive plant of this great indus
try will be awarded within the
next week or two, and the facto-
ry will be in readiness for busi-
ness as soon as the stalks from
the present cotton crop are ready
for use.
President Dyson was accom-
panied to Greenwood on this
great occasion by Vice-President
Mark w. Marsden and Treasurer
VIM. D. Miller, whose extensive
Company manufactures paper
pulp and by-products from cotton
stalks. They were each delighted
with our people and the large
number of guests present from
the adjacent counties to partici-
pate in the gala celebration on
that day, and President Dyson re-
quested The Commonwealth to
extend their thanks to one and
all for the many courtesies ex-
tended to his business associates
and himself while in Greenwood.
MR.. DYSON'S SPEECH:
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
It is with much pleasure look into
the faces of such splendid throng of
the representative people of Leflore
County.
As one Of the representatives of the
Economic Power and Products Co.
come to say that the work of the Com
pany is being pushed forward as rapid
ly as possible.
In aGs1ition to the fge, car loads o.
machinery now on the Company's site,
there are about twenty-five cars more
ready to be loaded and shipped.
We have given to a local architect,
through Mr.. Baird, the blue prints of
the buildings to be erected, and for
two of them the specifications are be-
ing prepared and will be sent to US for
approval. As soon as this is done, bids
will be asked for from your local
builders, and contract let, and the erec-
ton of the buildings pushed forward to
completion at the earliest date possi-
BILE. Work on the other buildings will
follow at once and they will be COM
pleted as quickly as is consistent with
the heavy work to be done in connec-
ton with concrete foundations and the
permanent character Of buildings need
ed in which to install heavy machinery.

ADDRESS Of HON. JAMES n. DYSON,

this planet He created the human spe-
cies and animals and fish, fowl and
reptile, insects and creeping things

macerated it into ''pulp," and spread
it out layer upon layer and thus they
builded their home.
On this nest 1 have a card which
reads-"A specimen of the work of the
original paper makers"
And so we continue one of the Oldest
known manufacturing industries, the
making of paper pulp from vegetable
fibre. This pulp to be used in the great
paper making industry.
Our work of preparing pulp from the
cotton stalk extended through years
and is not theoretical, nor simply labra-
tory experiments.
To our Vice-President and General
Manager, Mr.. M. w. Marsden, belongs
the credit for the arduous and pains
taking research that led up to the dis
covery of the wonderful possibilities
of the cotton stalk as commercially
valuable material.
We have had car loads of cotton
stalks sent to the northern mills and
have there under regular, but not very
favorable conditions, reduced the
stalks to pulp and made this pulp into
paper in commercial way. Our Sec
retary and Treasurer, Mr.. VIM. D.
Miller, who is one of our party, has
with him, and will be glad to exhibit at
the Business League rooms samples of
some of the papers we have made, and
other very interesting products from
the cotton stalk. After the fibre is
separated from the stalk we have q
residuum which contains chemicals
from which by products of great value
are made. The story of the by-pro-
ducts is too long to tell at this time
but it is very interesting and not less
surprising.
A natural question for you to ask is.
what will the establishing of our cot
ton stalk pulp plant mean to Green
wood?
will tell you something Of this. 1t
will mean a new and, permanent indus
try, t.iat will give steady employment
to large number of your people. 1t
will mean the advertising of Green
wood over the world as the pioneer
town in the manufacture of cotton
stalk pulp.
1t will bring the town and community
into a prominence that will be COM
mercially helpful in large way.
1t will bring to the planter and to
the cotton farmer a new source of rev.
enue from the sale of the cotton stalk
that should mean at least half mil
lion dollars distributed annually in cash.
Do You Get That?
In conclusion let me say: what We
come to ask of you Is simply your
hearty co operation in the supplying at
fair price what has hitherto been
looked upon as practically a waste
product.
We are with you've are one OF you
let US work together.

The Use of Soap
Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very spar
ingly, if at all, il you want to
keep your hair looking its best.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp. makes the
hair brittle, and ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use
is Just ordinary mulsified cocoa
nut oil (Which is pure and grease
less), and is better than soap or
anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub 1t in. 1t
makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out
easily, removing every particle of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves the scalp
soft, and the hair fine and silky,
bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and a few ounces will sup
ply every member of the family
for months. Advertisement.

What Dyspeptics
Should Eat

Indigestion and practically all
forms -of stomach trouble are,
nine times out of ten, due to acid
;ty; therefore stomach sufferers
should, whenever possible, avoid
eating food that is acid In its na-
tire, or which ly chemical action
in the stomach develops acidity.
Those sufferers who have been
obliged to exclude from their diet
all starchy. sweet or fatty food,
and are trying to keep up a miser-
able existence on gluten products.
should try meal of any food or
foods in moderate amount, taking
Immediately afterwards tea
spoonful of bisurated magnesia in
a little hot or cold water. This
Will neutralize any acid which
may be present, or which may be
formed, and instead of the usual
feeling of uneasiness and full
ness. you will find that your food
agrees with you perfectly. BIZ
surated magnesia is doubtless the
best food corrective and anti-acid
known. 1t has direct action on
the stomach: but by neutralizing
the acidity of the food contents,
and thus removing the source of
the acid irritation which inflames
the delicate stomach lining, 1t
does more than could possibly be
done by any drug or medicine.
Do not dose an inflamed and ir-
ritated stomach with drugs but
get rid of the acid-the cause of
all the trouble. Get a little BIZ
surated magnesia from your
druggist, eat what you want at
your next meal, take some OF the
bisurated magnesia as directed
above, and note remarkable re-
suits.

HOW FISH LIVE IN WATER.

Editor The Times Will you please explain to
me why a fish does not drown in water the same
as human being?-Willie Henderson.
1t seems that nature decided that fishes should
live in water and human beings should live on
land, and therefore fishes provided with gills
and human beings are provided with lungs
through which to breathe Now the great differ
ence between gills and lungs is that gills can
breathe the oxygen found in water and they can
not breathe the oxygen which is found in air.
WITHOUT OXYGEN NEITHER MAN NOR
BEAST NOR FISH CAN LIVE. So the fish
with his gills formed by nature to take from
water the life-giving gas oxygen, can live under
water Creatures who breathe through lungs
human beings and the lower animals can live
only on land where their lungs get plenty of the
oxygen which is one of the many gases that
make up air.

on a newly married girl
friend of ours. We went to
see her and as she was not at
home, we decided to stack"
her house.
After piling everything we
found in front of the back
door, we went inside and
moved a few thing around.
One thing we did was to pull
the sewing machine (Which
was not hers) into the mid
die of the floor. It had a
cover on 1t, SO we put a
chair on 1t, being careful not
to scratch it.
Thinking II a nice big
joke, we hid around the
house to hear what they
would say.
We were on our way over
to confess, when we met
both Mrs. S. and her hus-
band. Mrs. s. told us quiet
ly that the machine was
scratched, but Mr.. S. actual
ly raved. He swore and al

could have scratched the

was searched, 1t was done
