 'Watchfui Waiting"
 FL PASO. June 2S.-Watchful wait ing among the Mexican and American officials characterizes the situation here. Supporters of Huerta, Carranza and Villa continued watching each other The United States maintains close surveillance to prevent infraction of American neutrality.
 In spite of the detention of Huerta under a federal bond events pointed to continued activity /among the support CTS of the new revolutionary movement across the Rio Grande. Doubt was ex- pressed by close observers as to wheth CT Huerta would make an effort to cross the boundary should he be re- leased at the hearing on July 1. Huerta declared as soon as released that he will continue his interrupted journey to San Francisco. Well informed per sons declared the revolutionary agents are active and estimated an average of loo men are crossing the boundary nightly. They don't believe the Huerta incident will retard the revolutionary movement.
 It is predicted an important devel- opment will occur at JuareZ soon. Pre- sumably the men crossing the border are to be mobiized at some secluded point in northern Mexico The arrival of J. l.. Camp. United States attorney Tor the west Texas district is expected to bring developments in the legal phase of the Mexican situation. While special agents of the department of justice are silent 1t is expected the per sons suspected of connection with the revolutionary movement are under sur veillance and their arrest is under con sderation.

Coliseum
ll:30 D. m.

The Photo Girl' arrived in town last night and prover popular enough to make the audience at the Coli scum wish she would remain all week instead of only for four days.
 As the proprietors of the Photo graph gallery Messrs House and All ard were seen in new line of work and brought forth delighted shouts of laughter from a packed house. The patrons of the Coliseum should cer- tainly gain in weight if laughter IS really an aid to obesity, for laughter is a ady diet at that house.
 More song hits and dance special ties were crowded into the few min utes allotted to the various prin- cipaIs than is usually the case even in this rapid fire company. Every body had chance and everybody made good. There were lots of hits but no errors.

 As the frivolous young husband and bogus Mason, he makes the best of the many amusing incidents in his own humorous style of character val. with the breathless quick ness that the traditions of the part demand.

MISS. HISTORICAL SOCIETY
BY DIR. J. Z. WINSTON,

The charge has sometimes been
brought against Us in the South,
that while our section has done
its part in the making of history
we have been neglected. in the
preservation OF our historical re-
cords. To a certain extent this
is true; though the activity and
devotion of individuals here and
there and OF local institutional
societies, have done much in the
past few years towards relieving
US of the imputation of indiffer-
ence and neglect in striving to
preserve important historical ma
terials.
The men of the South have
been too much absorbed in re-
constructing its civilization upon
a new basis, and in obtaining a
means of livelihood, to be able to
devote much thought or attention
to collecting and preserving the
historical remains of former gen.
erations. At the same time il
cannot be denied that we have
been all too prone to be content
with lauding the virtues of our
heroes and with extolling the
glories OF the Old South, and have
been Indifferent to the task, -often
burdensome, and far from snowy
of putting in enduring form and
of collecting in accessible places
those materials, without which it
is impossible to write an adequate
history of any state or nation.
For nearly fifteen years the
Historical Society of Mississippi
has been doing a splendid work
in exploiting the local history OF
Mississippi. Its publications rank
generally among the best of their
kind. The farmer secretary and
treasurer of the Society, Pro-
lessor Franklin l.. Riley. has
the State q conspicuous
service in the energy and devotion
which he has brought to this
work. IL should be matter Of
pride to all those who feel an
interest in preserving the history
IF their state to see that this work
$ worthiIy maintained in the
'uture. The Historical Society of
Mississippi deserves the hearty |
Iupport and encouragement Of
very pubic spirited citizen.

"One million acre increase,
in the acre planted to corn in Mis-
sissippi is the slogan of the Mis-
sissippi A. & NJ. College Exten-
sion Department and its workers.
Il viii take this much increase
for the state to produce the esti-
mated home consumption for
food, meal, chops and mixed
feeds. This increased acreage in
in our state over last season
would give us twenty million
bushels more, which is an APP
Proclamation Of our states needs.
To distribute this from points to
points where needed and also
through the season means that
some preparation must be made.
A campaign is being made by
this Department for more home
shelters and shelters attached to
gins and mill, and for ware
house to handle the surplus out
of business centers. The cities
of Jackson, Hattiesbarg. Green
vile and Greenwood announce
that they will have elevators to
put this product in a merchant
able shape and have it prepared
especially for Wholesale trade.
And the farmers must, on their
part, be able to carry part of the
product themselves for distribu-
ton in their own locality.
The idea that our home grown
corn is not as good a product as
that of the corn sections of the
north is a fallacy. Analysis
made by the State Chemist at
the A. & NJ. College gives no APP
preciable difference either in corn
from different sections or in diff
ferent varieties. Tue southern
product is entirely dried because
of a longer season to make and
and il must be dried out
either before or after Smelling to /

Medium ear. prolific, does not ,
how so well in bulk as the ear is
but it often turns out a

There is no indication that
prices will be materially less than
those at present current and
farmers should not hesitate in
making decision as to what to
do with at least a good part of the
area that is not going to be used
for cotton.
II might be advisable for those
who like to grow the larger one
cared native types or especially
the red cob, to plant these old
solid type as they are not as SUBJ
ject to weevils and a certain kind
OF custom desires this character
of corn. 1t would also be well
for some yellow corn to be grown
where seed could be obtained
from southern sources, as there
is some trade that especially want:
the yellow varieties and will take
no other when yellow can be ob-
tanned; in fact a premium has
been paid in the state of about ;
cents per bushel for good native
yellow corn.
