Under this caption. the Washington Evening Star
has this to say about the young man in Mississippi
politics:
a new man has appeared in Mississippi politics
new in the sense that his latest achievement is point
ed to by his friends oreteIlng great influence ia
that state. and maybe throughout the south in the
near future
This is Theodore G. BHbo. less than forty years
old. For so a young man. he has seen a good deal
Of politics, and likes the game.
Mississippi is hospita0le toward young men in
politics. John Sharp Williams, now the most dis
tnguished citizen Of the state won his spurs at an
early age. He is not an old man now but has been
in Congress so long. and so CONSPICUOUS there. he is
rated veteran. 4 lawyer by education. planter
by choice. ne is politician by nature: and after
entering politics he liked the field so well he has re-
NAMED. When the time comes ne will be candidate
to succeed himself in the Senate
The rise Of James X. Vardaman began when he
was young and has been rapid. A lawyer by edu-
cation, journalist ny choice. ne too is politician by
nature and reached the Senate through the govern
ershp Of Mississippi He, too, likes politics: and
being in the game. is likely to remain In the Senate
he has surprised the east. where until then he had
been rated as only fluent fre-eatsr But he is a
strong and ready debater. courageous in the exures
sion Of opinions: and a student of government and
everyday affairs. In the ship purchase controversy
last winter ne was one of the foremost participants
and helped defeat the measure.
This is an era Of great opportunity in politics for
southern men. When peace in the world is restored
and the Panama canal begins to get in its work the
south should benefit greatly by the prosperity ap-
parently awaiting this country She is a very rict
section, with her resources largely undeveloped
The right national policies supported by her public
servants should increase her wealth and her imuor

The Eagle is one of The oldest papers in The

there are few young girls more active, she is grow

Il will be our aim to perpetuate the name and

stood for these many years. The friends of The
Eagle number among the very best people of OK
ford and Lafayette county and they are many in
number, and sincerely trust that this friendship
will not relinquish, but that new friends will be
added to its list.
As in the past The Eagle will ever remain

Cash In Aduance.
GEORGE W. PRICE

There are many newspapers in the state that
will not accept credit subscriber and when the
time of a cash subscriber expires, unless ne renews
his subscription at once, hls name is removed from
the list This Is good rule and one which We
have decided to adopt. This cannot be done at
once, we have decided to give all our old SUBJ
seribers TO both The Press and The Eagle, who
have not paid up, chance. We will not accept
any more credit subscribers, and after November
To- 1915, all old subscribers who are in arrears for
either The Press or The Eagle, will have TO pay
up, or their names will be removed from our maif-
ing list.
This rule we viii adhere to with all alike. and
we trust that every of our subseribersfwil pay
up by Nov. 10, and pay year in advance. so that
We win not have to remove single name from our

HANDLE ALL KINDS OF CROPS
Farmers Institutes Form Part Of
0iversification Movement Started
In Southern States.

Il look for great results from the
farmers institutes that are being held
In the several sections of the county,"
said Prof. Charles R. West the other
day to Birmingham Age-Herald rep
resentative, 'as the advantage of
having scientific farming explained
orally by government experts can
readily be seen.
These institutes form a part of
the crop diversification movement that
has been started throughout Alabama.
They teach practical and intelligent
methods in handling all kinds Of
crops.
"A distinct feature is that relating
to the animal industry and as 1t is
explained by the government expert it
seems almost criminal that the farm
ers Of our state give so little attention
to this branch of farming. Mrs.
Mathis certainly made a scathing ar
rafgnment Of the farmers in the state
when she said their corncribs and
smokehouses are in Illinois and Iowa.
But with the activity displayed by
the government and the cooperation
Of the city and county authorities
in furthering the Investigation
movement l believe the time is not far
distant when the present conditions
will be entirely charged and that but
little foodstuff will be imported into
this country or state"

PROPER REARING OF CHICKS
Problem Of Supplying Range and
Green Feed for Fowls Not Given
Sufficient Attention.

By F. c. HARE. South Carolina Expert
ment Station.)
The problem of supplying a range
or green feed for chicks does not re-
ceive sufficient attention. This is an
important side of the proper rearing
of poultry and the farmer who has
sour skim milk or buttermilk to spare
and good green range has more
than half his chick problem solved.
For temporary feeding. one can
soak oats overnight in water. wash
them thoroughly next morning and
spread them in half-inch layers in
boxes or trays. Place these trays Il
the shade outdoors and sprinkle with
water twice daily. In from three to
six days the oats will be ready for
feeding. For baby chicks feed wher
the sprouts are one-half inch long,
giving once daily what the chicks will
eat in about ten minutes.
Rape may be sown and, when
grown, cut up and fed to chicks Cab
bage. lettuce. mangels, beets and tur-
nips can also be cut for green feed.

IMPROVE CREDIT OF FARMER
Two Methods Described by Bulletin 10.
sued by Department Of Agriculture
How to Organize.

The new Office of markets and rural
organizations has contributed to the
department Of agriculture a bulletin
on How farmers may improve their
personal credit"
The two general methods considered
are: That Of temporary agreements
with existing loan agencies, agree
ments terminating with the payment
OF loans. and that of permanent ar.
ticles of agreement among the farmers
themselves, Oh cooperative credit as
sociations."
Under the first method, the bulletin
presents in detail three different plans
and gives in full the legal forms to
be used in their development A spe-
cific example is given applying these
plans to the improvement of the dairy
herd and suggesting how they can be
used in cattle breeding, hog raising
and the purchase of better farm equip
ment.
The second method takes I'D the
cooperative credit association" II
is well known that many farmers are
industrious and progressive, but lack
the money to carry out their ideas
These men as individuals cannot OBJ
tain the credit that they could IL or.
into permanent associations.
This pamphlet tells how to organize
how the association is managed and
how the association helps its members.

There is no longer any doubt that pei
lagra can be cured Don't delay until it
is too late. 1t is your duty to consult the
resourceful Baughn.
The symptoms-hands red like sunburn,
skin peeling off. sore mouth, the lips,
throat and tongue a flaming red, with
much mucus and choking; indigestion and
nausea, either diarrhoea or constipation.
There is hope; get Baughn's big Free

A real live farmer cannot stand

The movable grain bin solves the
problem of farm storage in a cheap
and satisfactory way.
Cooperation is based upon conf
dence, and where confidence is lacking
cooperation must fail.
True economy consists in getting all
one can use profitably. and in using
probably all one gets.
If man is troubled with indiges
ton II is a waste Of words to try to
convince him that the world is grow
ing better.
Sometimes a man fails to accom-
plish anything worth while because
he is too busy criticizing some other
fellows work.
The man who has so much money
he doesn't know what to do with it,
would know just what to do with it, if
he didn't have it.
Ninety millions of dollars lost to the
animal industry of this country in one
year because Of the cattle tick. Too
much tick in any line of business is
improbable.
Life on the farm should be Just
what the city man imagines it is
one OF real contentment and pleasure,
one Of blissful repose, where energy
and pluck count.
Work and study to make things easy
for the women folks on the farm. And,
sister. while the men folks try to save
you mental and physical work, save
yourself all you can.
Lavor-saving machinery is doing
away with most of the outdoor and
indoor drudgery on the farm, as the
up-to-date farmer is supplied with a
reasonable amount of both kinds.

EXCELLENT POINTS OF sILo
Does Not Pay Farmer to Mix Corn
and Sorghum Crops, Says Elk.
pert Of Kansas College.

Mixing crops in silo does not pay,
according to J. B. Fitch, assistant
in dairy husbandry in the Kansas
State Agriculture college. He SAYS
that many farmers mix corn and sor.
ghum crops, but that this does not
increase the value of either feed. and
generally means more work, in that
material must be hauled from two
fields. The sorghums, Mr.. Fitch points
out. are generally not mature enough
to go into the silo until some time
after the corn crop has been cut.
This is one of the POINTS taken I'D
in a circular issued by the dairy de-
partment Of the college for farmers.
The time to cut the silage crop. the
size of cutter, the manner of cutting,
the packing of silage. the gas in silos.
and the time to feed silage are among
the other matters in the circular.
