Unfortunately there are those among us who show by Their &C
tions that they do not believe the educated and trained man is the
most useful man in every calling, this applies alone alone to farm
ing. And the worst of all, the sentiment responsible for this comes
from the farmer himself. Farming is the only calling or business
that has stood guard, as it were, to discourage aud keep out those
who have made a scientific study of farming This is a tact and we
had Just as well look it squarely in the face. There is an independ-
ence about the farm and farm life that has tended to make the
farmer dependent. His very independence has caused him to re
sent the thought of change Il can hardly be denied either that
from the farmer as a class has come more kicks and grouohes as 10
what other oalHngs were doing 10 him than from any other class
The farmer in his solitude and independence has imagined
many vain things, but happily these things are fading away like
mists before the rising sun. The farmers are lending their ears to
the voice OF those who have made a study of farm business. The
work Of the Agricultural Department at Washington and of the
many agricultural colleges over the country are bearing fruit. The
faTne1 today holds a vantage ground that he has not held for years
and tbe trained stock man and the trained agrculturists are due the
credit for il. Not many years back there was no Agricultural De
partment at Washington. 1t was during the administration of
officer placed at its head and from that time forward the business Of
the farmer has been looking upward.
We know that there are mishts and failures who ire working as
agricultural experts Just as there are mishts and failures in the mer-
reason why all these callngs should be discontinued or ignored
The chaff must be separated from the wheat in all things
The reading man knows that Germany independence today
comes OF the fact that trained agriculturists have directed the farm
work of that country Germany has been practically shut off from
amply fed Germany has an area OF 100000 square miles, or a little
more than four times that OF the State of Mississippi, yet it IS sup
times that Of this State. How IS this done? BY the farms of that
nation. a condition made possible only by intensified farming and
many can do so can the State of Mississippi, 50 can every State in
this great Union do No country in the world equals the United
multiplication Of resources Nature has dealt so lavishly with Us
that w have shown an ineNcusable proiigacy. Our farmers-the
going onto reason. The methods used by the average farmer nj
teen, twenty or thirty years ago Will not do to meet conditions as
they are today There can be no doubt about the fact that passing
days will emphasize more and more the lesson that the best edu-
Gated, the best trained, if you please, man and woman are going to
as 10 any other business or calling. We therefore urge upon the
farmers Of Grenada county, every one OF them, that they wake up TO
cts make the campaign soon 20 be had IN this Countyt the beginning

MUST RETURN ON AMERICAN VESSEL.

We heard Congressman Sisson state only recently that If d cu-
zen of the United States were at any OF this country's island posses
sions, he was eNpected to return on d vessel flying the flag OF the
United States. regardless Of how urgent his desire might be to re
turn home and OF how long he might have 20 wait for an American
vessel. As an illustration of this Nj. Sisson stated that not long
since Congressman Webb Of North Carolina. in company with sew
eral other members OF Congress who had been sent as a committee
70 the Hawaiian Islands, received a telegram while there that his
father was very i'll. Naturally Mr. Webb wanted 10 return at once.
He went to the wharf and found that a certain English vessel was to
sail within a few hours for San Francisco but the captain Informed
Mr.. Webb that # he brought him he would subject himself to a pen
atty of not les. han $1,000, and possibly as much as s. 1000, with a
probable jail sentence; and this too in the face of the fact that Mr..
Webb would have to wait several days for an American vessel. At
ter much mdneuverng and pareying, Mr. Webb made through one
OF the banks OF Honolulu an indemnltyng bond for the Captain of
The English vessel and went aboard but when he reached San Fran
cisco the Captain was sure enough hauled before the Marine court
and fined $1,000 III difficult to believe that such a thing is pos
sible in liberty loving, free America.
The law responsible tor this state OF facts was enacted no doubt
under the guse Of protecting American labor but IN reality the
American shipping interests. The public will bear in mind that tm.
same shipping interests was opposed to the repeal of the Panama
canal free tolls act and that this selt-same "shipping interests
opposed President Wilson'S Ship Purchase bill. The public is asked
to also bear in mind that none but American built vessels can engage
IN coastwise trade and that "coastwise" shipping freight rates are
usually much higher than tans-oceanic rates. This is a part Of The
legacy left the country by the Republican party by its system Of
protection

The delayed Custer suit against the mayor of Memphis, tht
VICE mayor, the chief Of police and the sheriff no doubt came as
surprise to these oneeyed officials. If these officers have tried t
enforce the prohibition law in Memphis, and now come into court
and say so, then they make a confession of impotency and neon
petency that should disqualify them for official service. The Custer
law was passed by the last Democratic legislature of Tennessee be

the prohibition law the Republicans would come back into power

The latest of which is the introduc-

woman to create false impression by
using cosmetics, false hair or jewels

Secretary of the treasury, VIM. Nc
Adoo in his speech before the COM
mercial club at Chicago last month
ON Merchant Marine, showed con-
clusively the pressing want of a u.
s. Merchant Marine. The shipping
capital, with few favored Ameri-
cans, control the carrying trade Of
the oceans, and since the European
war began have raised transporta-
tion rates three and four hundred
per cent. He showed by facts and
figures that in July last, just prior
ITO the outbreak of foreign war, the
rate on grain from N. Y. to English
ports was from four to five cents per
bushel. In December it was from
sixteen to seventeen cents per bush
el, or an increase of about 800 per
cent The rate on cotton from n.
Y. to Liverpool in July was 20 cents
per hundred pounds, and in Dec. 1t
was rs cents per hundred or an in
crease of 275To, and to Rotterdam
1000. In July last, tie rates on cot
ton to Bremen was one dollar per
bale, in Dec. it was Is dollars per
bale, or three cents per pound on
the raw cotton. When President
Wilson and a Democratic congress
endeavored to remedy this evil by
introducing and passing a bill estab-
fishing an American Merchant Mar
Inc, the Republican members in the
U. S. Senate, led by Senator Reed
Smoot of Utah, seek to filibuster
and resort to all parliamentary tao
tics known to defeat the bill, not
withstanding the Republican party
for the last twenty years have in
corporated merchant marine
clause IN their National platforms.
The fact, that U. S. senator's are
turning heaven and earth to thwart
law they have pretended to favor
for the last twenty years, prove
their insincerity and should be a
warning to the people. never to
trust them with power again.

A PRESIDENT UNAFRAID

President Wilson has passed twenty
two months of strenuous endeavor,
accomplishing tasks which few of his
predecessors in that length of time
even attempted. His has been rec.
ord of phenomenal success.
The Indianapolis address is the
first of what may be a series of ad-
dresses by President Wilson. 1t may
be taken, perhaps, to indicate the
kind of report the Chief Executive
proposes to make to his constituents
here and there.
We have here the picture and
promise of a President firm in the
conviction that the best judgment
OF the country is back of him; that
the people will indorse the admins
tration according to the measure of
their understanding Of its acts. We
have a President unafraid, filled with
the optimism that comes of honest
conviction, inspired by Democratic
faith, steeled to alertness by an I'M
commonly vigorous mind and a. physi
cal strength equal to the task.
! The people of the United States
never had greater faith in Woodrow
Wilson than at the present moment.
This new contact between them
ought to give the one greater conf
dence and the other greater courage
for the common work at hand

According to late government sta
tistics, the year 1914 has been the
most prosperous year for the mining
of radium, uranium and vanadium
ores known in the history Of the met
ais. There was produced during the
year 81 tons of uranium oxide as
against Al tons in 1913 and produced
22.4 grams of radium. Tie greater
part of this ore was mined in Colo

The longer the European war lasts
the harder 1t becomes for the Uni

coming short in many articles that

of necessity be supplied to keep them
from famine. We're we to supply
Germany with portion Of our over
plus. England looks upon us with n
jealous eye and insists upon search
ing our ships for contraband of war.
II We attempt to supply England with
excess products. Germany threatens
10 mine tie waters Of the English
coast and blow up our vessels. Under
these circumstances this country
Should use caution and even though
we may at times believe we are be-
Ing imposed upon, 1t Is better than
engaging in war TO file our claims
u any there might be. and await the
end of the strife before demanding
reparation. This is a war brought
about by monarchial government and
should not interest a republic to the
extent Of engaging therein.

Anxiety In Washinqton

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26-Early re- ports from Nogales today, indicating that Mexican forces might have begun 9 general attack upon the American border patrol, caused much anxiety here and it was with evident relief that officials heard that the Mexicans had been driven off after an exchange of shots.
 The state department received the first advices which were transmitted promptly to President Wilson. Major General Funston, commanding the toOps on the border, had not reported on the affair to the war department to- night and officials learned of 1t only through press dispatches.
 Colonel Sage, in command at No gales. acted within his instructions in having his soldiers promptly return the fire from across the border. He has orders to repeal any deliberate attatk on American territory and if necessary to use artillery.
