best grade for first grade seed,

it gathered seperately so I could

Missislppi's Need.

Tunica Times:
The taxing system OF the
state is so miserably mixed
up that we absolutely don't
know heads from tails. The
taxes are unequal; in many
cases they are unjust. What
is needed, badly needed, is a
Legislature-a body who will
have time to lay aside poll
tical jack-pots, secret alllanc-
es, bribery proposals, and
attend to. the business,
which the people expect
them to, and which consid
GRAFTON they are entitled to.
We need a thorough legisla-
tive body at Jackson. Ii W
continue as we have, it
would be better that the
thing be abolished. In GER
tain quarters OF the state
legislative candidates are
popping up, explaining that
they are for so-and-so for
governor. Better leave this
kind at home, and send men
who attend to duty, and al
low the governor time to at
tend to his. Familiarity
in this respect, in the past
few years, has breeded too
much nausea, and soiled
linen.

FREIGHT SERVICE VIA THE RIVER
Pennington Woman Accidentally As
phyxiated at Home Of Son in Des
Moines. Ex-Gov. Shaw's Daugh
ter Wins $4,000 Suit.

Burlington, March 29.-Burlington
is TO enjoy the unprecedented privil-
ege Of building public bridge across
the Mississippi river without thus far
having received franchise from the
government,
A bill was introduced at Washing
ton several months ago for this
bridge and it had the approval OF
government engineering authorities
along the upper river. There appeared
to be no question as to its passage by
both houses. The house adopted 1t UNI
animously, but before the senate got
to the point of considering it the
amount of work had piled up so that
it, as well as great many other inn
portant bills were buried and so con-
gress adjourned without having pass
ed the measure.
Meanwhile Burlington people went
ahead and subscribed for the expens-
es OF the bridge and it has been de-
cided to go ahead with the prelimi-
nary work and even start the building
of the structure before the franchise
is granted Legal advice Is that this
can be done and that no doubt con-
gress will pass the bill during the
next session.
1t is the first time in the history of
Burlington that the people have really
awakened to the necessity of bridge
and have taken hold with determin-
alton to build one. For thirty years
Burlington has projected such bridge
and in each case franchise has been
granted only to fail because the plans
We're not sufficient to carry out the
project.

4 These are the ships which would
bear the brunt of the onslaught If we
engaged in first-class naval power.
A big gun can fire twice in three min
utes. The Atlantic feet could throw
Z $40 shells at an enemy In the first
three minutes of action. Their total
weight could be 227 200 pounds and it
is to be remembered that they are
filed with high explosives. "#F
In the Second Line. ,'sF
The second line consists of the pre-
dreadnaughts Connecticut, Louisiana,
Kansas. Vermont, Minnesota, New
Hampshire, Georgia, Virginia, New
Jersey, Rhode Island and Nebraska. ."
In reserve are IL older battleships,
now far behind the times. These old
err vessels are being reftted and kept
ready for action on two days notice.
This fact is considered significant
here. ... y 20
There is also great activity in 1.-THE
navy yards, despite the fleets absence
in Cuba. All are running with regu-
lar or increased forces. Much work
is being done on small craft, which
European conflict Is showing to have
great usefulness In certain cases. Sew
eral vessels now being put in fighting
trim have suffered from minor neglect
because of the pressing needs Of larger
ships. s'' '%.lf '>.'' g. 49,. ." IL

yard, overhauled and fitted with real

Navy men just now are interested
in the plans for the war game at New
York. This game will serve to show
the American people what their feet
can do and at the same time serve as
a drill. The plan coRtemplates q
massed attack upon the port by a
score or more of dreadnaughts and bat
tTeships, representing hostile force
and a defense of the harbor by the
coast artillery corps of the army, by
submarines and destroyers, and per
haps by the battleships in reserve
manned for the occasion by the naval
militia. Aeroplanes, hydro-aeroplanes
dummy mines and other apparatus Of
modern war would be utilized. The
fiiersh would practice detecting sub
merged undersea boats, and would
throw dummy bombs. .s aCt
There would be some additional ex
pense connected with this game. II
would cost something to commission
the reserve feet and man it with the
naval militia, but the present scarcity
of personnel for the navy makes this
only a slight drawback and one over
balanced by the advantages offered.
About one hundred and twenty-five
vessels would take part in the game
At least twenty submarines would bt
detailed, besides six to eight division:
of destroyers. "
This war game, if it takes place
| will create popular interest in the nav!
and should bring many visitors toNev
York Y
