CORN GROWING PAYS.

Walden, Miss, Feb. 12-There have
been shipped from this place within
he past two weeks three cars of ear
corn and two cars OF baled hay. The
,hree previous years Of hard-foughl
battle against the cotton boil weevil
and .he practical loss Of so many cot
ton crops, has caused many of the most
thoughtful and progressive farmers t.
realize the necessity of retrenching
against this little pestiferious enemy of
king cotton. And large percentage
4i the farmers of this vicinity planted
more corn last year and laid out larger
meadows Cor hay and gave more at.
taution TO live stock than for many
previous years. These changes in
their former system is not an expert
meqt with them, but is demonstratinS
tevond 2 doubt of a question that in
p, South and that even down here ir
al7 Mississippi there is money in other
-ons than cotton. We see in the st.
.ris Daily Live Stock Reporter of
February s. that even under Quaran-
tine conditions that Mississippi stands
.hird in the column in cattle receipts
q that point in the year Of 1914.

portant position of chief of the bureau
of vital statistics, Bureau of the Cen
sus at Washington, has been of .ele ed
to DR.. w. S. Leathers, dean of the
Medical Department of the University
of Mississippi and director of public
health of the State of Mississippi. DR..
Leathers has the position at his option,
and has been given some time in which
to decide. He has been indorsed for
the high honor by Congressman Steph-
ems of this district and in fact by both
senators and the other congressman
from Mississippi. --
DR.. Leathers is one of Mississippi's
truly great men, and his absence from
the state will be sorely felt, as he is
most alive to the best interests of
! the state, both from a standpoint of
education and from that great and too
often overlooked point of public health.
He has organized a working system
VAIN NiiNi W carry Oul lue proper
methods of sanitation, and his efforts
are today being favorably felt over
the entire state and the peopl of Mis-
sissippi feel that they simply can't
give him up to another phase of work
at all, and especially just at this par
| tcrlar time. He has received a num-
Der of letters from practically every
section of the state expressing keen
desire that he not accept the position
In Washington. Just what the doctor
is going to do in the matter is not
known, as he has not given out any
official statement.
The university is very desirous that
he not accept the position as chief OF
the Bureau of Census, as there is
doubtless not another man in Missis
sIppi who could so ably fill the impor
t2nt position as dean of the Medica
department.. He means great dea
to the university in vastly more ways
than one, and he is being urged OF
every hand to retain his present posi-
ton.

PROBE is SUSPENDED.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 1.-THE Sons
of Plato probe will be dark the re-
mainder of the week but will be re-
sumed Monday, instead of Tuesday.
The cause of the suspension is the seri-
GUS and continued illness of ATTORNEY

the death there yesterday of Nose
Landau, of brother of one of the men,
bers of the firm of Hirsch, Dent &
Landau, engaged in the probe.
The recess of the probe brings some
relaxation to States attorneys and

INVESTING In RAILROAD
AND OTHER HOME ISSUES
Merchants Look Forward to Busy
WinterlEittle Demand Here for
Financial Aid to Allies.
Nv GEORGE O, WATSON,
President Of the Anacostia Bank.

A slight falling off in the buying
of stocks was noticed in financial CEN
tiers during the week. While people
are investing largely in stocks, they
are mostly railroad issues, rather
than speculation in businesses incl
dent to the war. There is a greater
demand, however, for bonds.
Money for investment purposes is
plentiful and is to be had at reason
able rate of interest. Deposits are
increasing.
Retail trade in Washington is good
and is improving. Merchants look
forward to a busy winter.
We have not felt, to any extent, a
demand for investing money in the
loan to the allies, arranged some
weeks ago by the English-French
financial commission. People seem
rather inclined to favor investments
