The Belgian and French artillery

LIVE WITHIN YOUR INCOME.

Credit is dead. Bad pay killed it. Live
within your income and credit will live. Good,
pay vii keep it alive. says an exchange.
It seems hard to live within q limited i'm
yet people do il. They exist on the bare
necessities. They realize that poverty IS q cheer
less companion. Yet they live within their in
come. The monthly bills are paid. They look
the world in the face, fearlessly.
The temptation to spend is great. They can
spend because credit is always easily obtained
even by the most unworthy. But credits, in the
long run, a nemesis of worry, the destroyer of
peace and happiness. Debt is a tyrant, relentless
and obdurate.
Pay as you go and you will be happy. 1t
may seem impossible. Try it.
Debt is the secret foe of thrift. The debt
habit is the twin brother of poverty.
The first step in debt, said a wise philoso-
pher is like the first step in falsehood, involving
the necessity of going on in the same course,
debt following debt, as lie follows lie.
A man who yves a little can discharge his
obligation in a short time, if he applies himself,
and if he is prudent and sensible this is what he
will do. The man who by long negligence yves
a great deal despairs of ever being able to pay
up, and therefore never looks into his accounts at
all and never cares.
In this day of high cost of living it seems
reckless advice to offer to live within your in
come, but do it if you can, for the sake of your
future and for the sake of your self-respect and
peace of mind.
The recent story from Brooklyn of a woman
who kept a family of four in comfort on her hus-
bands income of ten dollars a week and looks
bravely toward the future, in spite of the recent
arrival of twins in the household, making six to
feed, clothe and house, should be pondered by
the administrator of public budgets. This woman
has lived within her income. She counted every
penny in advance in a manner that precluded
miscalculation. No deficits appeared at the end
of the year. 1t is a lesson for heads of house.
holds and a lesson. also, to public officers who
in spite of the generous appropriations placed al
their disposal, are continually appealing for ad'
ditional revenues.
Thank Providence the Brooklyn family is
not typical of the average. Few able-bodied men
earn as little as ten dollars a week, but there are
many families in every community that can keep
within their income if they exercise strict
economy

JEWISH NEW YEAR OBSERVED.

Rosh Hashanah, Jewish New Year,
was duly observed in Greenwood by our
IsraeIite friends, and throughout the
world by the people of that faith. APP
propriate services were held Wednesday
night and the New Year period was sol
EMMY carried out-the stores of the Jews
all being closed from 6 pm. Wednesday
until 6 pm. Thursday.
The celebration of the Jewish New
Year, from long years of tradition a seri-
Gus season of fasting and prayer, when
the Jew is supposed to devote himself to
introspection and reconsecration to God,
is rendered even more significant this year
by the suffering that the world war has
brought upon so many Jews in Europe and
Asia.
There were special prayers and appeals
made for the success of the relief work.
that is now going on in this country.
According to the Jewish calendar,
Wednesday was the beginning of the year
SOTO. Time is reckoned from the crea-
ton, which Jewish tradition sets at about
3760 years before the birth of Christ.
The Jewish festival of Succoth or
Feast of the T~abernacles will be cele-
brated this year throughout the world,
from Wednesday, September Is, at sun
down, to Thursday, September %, at the
same time.
The Feast of the Tabernacles was
celebrated by the Jews when they lived in
Palestine as an agricultural festival, mark
ing the close IF the harvest and the be-
ginning of the blowing and rainy season.
Many Jews throughout the world still OBJ
serve the Biblical command to make a
pilgrimage t. Jerusalem at this time and
offer sacrifice. in the temple.

DODGING JURY SERVICE.

Active. industrious, successful men are
ant to dislike Jury service. Others of a
more indolent type enjoy hanging around
court rooms. They like the fattery from
eloquent attorneys, and the position OF brief
authority. 1t is difficult to get representa-
tive juries.
during the debate in the New York consti-
tutional convention right recently. Yet a
section that would have checked the evasion
of Jury duty was quickly put to sleep in that
convention.
In some courts and states, there is a
tacit understanding by which practically all
the leading business and professional men
escape this function. Through friendship
with some official, their name is kept out OF
the panel.
jury service should be rather pleasant,
if one looked at it Alright. The juror sees
MANY interesting sides Of human nature.
The battle of wits and Of legal principles
has it's dramatic elements. The debate
arising over questions of human conduct
must interest anyone with an alert mind and
human sympathies.
The excuse is that it takes time away
from business. This shows o poorly most
business men prepare themselves for the ex-
igencies of life. Every man should have
his understudy, who could DO his work IN
case of his illness, and who could carry 1t
along while he is taking needed vacations.
This would enable a man to perform his
duty to his State.
If every man we'll qualified for jury
service would stop efforts at this evasion,
the turn at this necessary function OF good
citizenship would come around but rarely,
would be short when it did come, and ought
to burden no one.

PLANT MORE WHEAT THIS FALL.

More wheat was raised in Mississippi last
winter than at my other time since the war, with
possibly one exception, the 1915 crop being esti-
sand bushels l,ss than that in one other year
since 1865, says the Meridian Star.
The yearpreceding the outbreak of hostil-
tiles between the States, in 1860, Mississippi is
said to have nised 100000 bushels of wheat.
Since 1856 the wheat yield in this State has
been as low Is 5000 bushels per year and never
higher than IS, 600 bushels, the yield seldom 60
ing above 1900 bushels.
WhenMississippi was growing above 2OO,-
600 bushel of wheat annually flour mills dotted
all section of the State. Since wheat growing
almost cssed in Mississippi, flour mills have al
most disappeared.
Win the increased wheat acreage Of the
past seaon. flour mills have again begun to ap-
pear, OR being recently equipped in Greenwood
from witch wheat grown in Leflore county has
been mde into good flour.
w hope to see our farmers especially raise
more weat the coming season than ever before,
being cnfident that if such a course be followed,
flour Milling will grow into an important industry
in the ounty.
1t as been demonstrated that wheat can be
grown ! Mississippi.
1t as also been demonstrated that flour
mills wi follow the growing of wheat in Missis-
sippi.
Til combination offers Mississippi opportu-
mites tat she cannot afford to overlook.
Pint more wheat this fall and bring more
flour mis- next year.

LIFE is NOT A LOTTERY.

Life is not a lottery, nor success a
gamble.
No statement in the Bible is truer than
that man shall reap what he ows
The figs Of preferment are not gathered
from the tree Of folly, nor the golden fruit
of prosperity from the poisonous vine OF
dissipation.
It is vain to protest against immutable
laws, and cowardly to whine because they
test the fibre of the men. However deslr-
able it might be to receive a good character
ready made, natures canons are against it.
They pay a heavier price for fortune who
accept it unearned.
There is a career within the reach Of
every man, a position of honor he may COM
mand if he will.
But the way to the career is the road OF
self-development.. The steps to the position
of honor are problems that must be solved.
Every man must build his own charac-
ter and upon that his own career. There is
no chance about it. The human life. like
all the rest of the great universe. is subject
to immutable laws, and success is achieved
through conforming to them.

THE BUZZARD.

The crusade against the buzz
card, alleged conveyor of animal
diseases, such as hog cholera,
anthrax, foot and mouth disease
and other animal ills laid at the
door, has aroused the Vicksburg
Herald to a defense of this dirty
bird, basing its defense entirely
upon that chilly assertion that the
buzzard is natures chief scav.
enger."
The buzzard may be all that
has been claimed for it, and it
may be responsible for the things
it is said to be responsible for;
nevertheless, this bird is not, in
our opinion worthy of the protec-
ton accorded it in the past and it
ought to be put out of the way,
much the same as open privy
vaults and other unsanitary things
have been cast aside for better
things.
This country is in a sorry
plight indeed. if it must depend
upon the buzzard to do its scav-
enger work; there are other and
better methods known and easily
obtainable for that purpose.
We do not need the buzzard
in Mississippi for scavenger work
in these enlightened days, and
while we may admit without vio-
htion Of conscience that nature
has supplied the bHzzard to do
this work, We do not admit that
nature cannot b. improved upon

MISSISSIPPI OATS, WHEAT, HAY.

The correspondents reports indicate
that Mississippiis destined to become 1.-THE
home Of the South" as to the production OF
oats, wheat and hay. crops. One farmer has
recently harvested 900 bushels Of oats from
% acres of land. He has saved just nine
hundred times 60 cents, if he were to buy
oats for stock feed this winter. Another
farmer harvested recently 400 bushels Of
perfectly good wheat from 16 acres. The
wheat is being milled into flour and dis
tributed among the residents Of this section.
Many different localities in the State are
producing enough wheat to feed scores Of
families. Another instance that Mississip-
plans are bent on Giving at home is the
TACT that many grist mills are busy now
grinding out new cornmeal for home use in
stead Of going to market and purchasing
the Western article. This sort of intelligent
working will attract attention of desirable
new settlers. The State is already me Of
the leading alfalfa-producing States Of the
South, that produced in Noxubee, Clay,
Lowndes, Monroe and other counties not be
ing surpassed by any from Kansas or else
where; livestock are being fed with it in
stead Of selling to the trade. Of course
there are plenty of good things we could say
about Mississippi, but we will not include
everything in the same issue, says the cap
able editor Of the New Orleans Item Farmer.

THE AUTO AND GOOD ROADS.

Never perhaps has there been so much
interest taken in road building as is being
taken now. This is caused largely by the
automobile. Just in proportion as the num-
Der of automobiles increases the interest in
road building increases.
Until he becomes the owner of an auto
mobile the farmer is apt to be mighty con-
servative on the question of roads. Often
he objects on the ground that making good
roads increases his taxes and only affords a
pleasure way for the automobile joy riders.
AS soon, however, as he becomes the owner
Of an automobile, he becomes a good roads
booster and has little patience with the mar
who talks against good roads.
We are however, learning a lot about
building roads and still have a good deal to
learn. It looks now as if the concrete road
MIGHT, he the last word in road building and
prove in the long run to be the cheapest
road that can be built. Finally, however, II
is quite possible that the flying machines
will be as common as automobiles are nov
and the need for roads for pleasure riding
will be greatly lessened.

CHIEF EVIL OF FEE SYSTEM.

- LE 49, #H&NE
One OF the most fruitful sources
Of hard lines in Mississippi at
this time, is the heavy tribute lev
led upon the people in the way Of
high salaries, as q result Of the
fee system, together with q num-
Der Of useless Offices. Alabama
eliminated quite q number of USE
less offices = few months ago. II
is now time for Mississippi to
eliminate these excessive fees.
The people have shouldered this
burden long enough. Retrenchment
and reform should be the watch
word.-Kosciusko Star-Ledger.
Sentiment in favor of the aboli-
ton of the fee system has become
so general that members of the
next Legislature will doubtless. be
found falling over each other in
the rush to introduce bills to
bring it about. It is to be hoped
that zeal to discontinue extrava-
CANT compensation will not lead
lawmakers to such an extreme
that they will provide q compen-
sation so small that public office
will have no attraction for compe-
tent men.-Madison Herald.
While imposing a heavy and
needful burthen on the tax-pay-
ers, this. is not the worst Of the
fee system as applied to certain
county officials. That is signified
in the following from the card of
a defeated candidate for sheriff.
published in the Cleveland Enter
'lprise: THE one impression that

} In the class of larger counties.
of which Bolivar is one, the fact
stated is a plain matter of cause

to succeed himself, can, under Dr.

wire. Hence comes the CHIEF
vice of the system of paying fees
to sheriffs, and clerks of the
courts of the counties. especially
in those of greater territory, pop.
ulation and property.
