You Don't Haze to
Wet the Sidewalks
at Every Sweeping
INTENT OF THE LAW AND ITS
READING ARE DIFFERENT,
THE MAYOR RULES.

One swallow does not make sum-
mer, but little sprinkling goes long
way, according to the Interpretation
of the City ordinance regarding the
wetting of sidewalks in the business
sections of Hattiesburg before sweep
ing, as made today by Mayor Batson.
i. oliver, piano man on West
Pine street, was hailed into Police
Court by Patrolman Tom Moore,
charged with sweeping the walk in
front of his place of business before
sprinkling. Mr.. oliver was arrested
by the policeman at 1920 o'clock this
morning, after a heated argument,
during which the patrolman, accord
ing to his explanation to the Mayor,
was forced to slap him." Officer
Moore brought charges against Mr..
oliver for violating the ordinance,
while the latter charged the police
man with assault and battery.
Moore, one of the best and most
efficient police officers on the force,
plead guilty to his charge, and was
fined $3.50 Mr. oliver decided to
fight his case, and he won.
He told the court that the sidewalk
had been sprinkled few minutes
before the policeman arrived, and
that it was not in a dry state. AttOr
ney Dan Currie, representing the de-
fendant, read to the Mayor the ordi-
nance covering the sweeping of side
walks, and Mayor BatsOn, while stat
ing that the intent of the law had been
violated by Mr. oliver, said he was

DRUG STORES MUST
PUT UP SCREENS
STATE BOARD. OF ..HEALTH'
ADOPTS NEW SANITARY
REGULATIONS.

Hattiesburg drug stores, as well as
those of every other city and town in
Mississippi, which operate soda foun-
tains as a side line, will have TO be
screened, just the same as if they
were cafes or lunchrooms in the flu.
ture.
Also, the teeny, tiny little ham,
olive, cheese, and pickle sandwiches
which some of the drug stores serve
to you when you saunter in to their
premises these warm days with a
slight hunger which does not in real
ity constitute an appetite. have result
ed in these stores being placed in the
same category with regular eating
places. They will have to be screen
ed in the future, as if they were cafes
exclusively.
The state board of health. which
has been revolutionizing things over
in Jackson this week, has reached
this decision, and Hattiesburg drug
gists were unofficially notified of their
action today.
The regulation was suggested by
DR.. Willis VALLEY, late sanitary inspec-
tor. 1t reads as follows:
ANY person, firm or corporation
producing milk. or by-products for
public consumption in any public
place, such as soda fountains, restau
rants or hotels, shall conform to al
the rules and regulations of the state
board of health pertaining to dairies
This regulation applies to every per
son or corporation who sells milk, ir
respective of the number Of COWS
MIXED. All regulations conflicting
with this regulation are hereby re
scinded."
In addition to adopting the above
regulation the board adopted the fol
lowing, suggestion my DIR. E. H. Gal
| loway, the live wire secretary of the
| board:
"All straws at soda fountains shall
| be protected from flies and dust b!
| being kept in proper containers"
DR.. VALLEY, in short statement is
sued today, said:
| 'Inasmuch as the state board o
health by regulation has said that an,
drug store serving lunches or sellini
other foodstuff must comply with th
regulations of the board as a restau
rant it is our purpose to enforce thi
regulation and this is to warn al
drug stores now engaged in the sal
of lunches or sandwiches that the,
must be thoroughly screened"

URGE FARMERS TO
SAVE POTATO SEED
TRUCKERS ASSOCIATION GIVES
SUGGESTIONS AS TO HOW
TO GAVE MONEY.

Farmers and truckers of Forrest
county toGay were given a warning
by officials of the Truckers Associa-
ton regarding the sale and consump
ton of all their this years crop of
Irish potatoes, and were requested, as
an economical step for themselves. to
lay away a sufficient supply for plant
ing purposes next year.
Save your Irish potato seed" was
the suggestion made by w. E. Bobo,
secretary of the Association, today.
Continuing, Mr.. Bobo said:
Now that the season for market
ing the spring Irish potato crop is
here the growers should remember
when selling at seventy-five cents to
dollar a bushel just what they paid
for their seed potatoes in January.
You paid all the way from $1.10 to
l$1.50 per bushel. There is no reason
why you should do this. You can
save your own seed and get better
results.
"The buyers of table stock do not
want the small potatoes and these are
the ones to keep for seed. Simply let
them stay in the ground until ripe,
dig in the usual way and scatter on a
| floor where the air can circulate all
around them and sprinkle with lime,
They will keep this way until time
for planting the fall crop. This should
| be done not later than middle of Au
gust. 1t is possible to carry stock
from one spring until the next, but
better results are obtained from seed
grown in the fall.
When ready to plant your fall croI
be sure to pre-sprout your seed be
fore planting. This can be done by
spreading the potatoes on the GROUND
or a floor in a cool place and covering
with old sacks or cloth of any kint
tand dampened every day for four o.
five days. Open your furrow and drol
potatoes in before the furrow is dry
Also keep potatoies covered will
same damp cloth between your house
and the field. Plant deep.

PU[MOTOR FAILS TO
SAVE CH|LD'S LIFE
10-YEAR-OlD GIRL STAYS UNDER
WATER TOO LONG FoRITTo

For the first time in several months
the pulmotor of the Hattiesburg Trac-
ton Company was brought into use
today, when ten-year-olG negro girl
fell into the big pond at Austins S
gravel pit, mile and a half south of
the city, and was drowned. The pull
motor reached the child too late to
bring back life.
The girl was in boat used in the
gravel operations when she lost her
footing and fell into the water. about
eight feet deep.
The girls brother, who was in the
boat with her, Immediately set up a
cry for help and Burl Massey, the
only white man on the grounds,
jumped into the water. He located the
body the first time he dived and the
second time he brought it up.
Several minutes were required to
reach the nearest telephone and many
more minutes elapsed before DR.. H.
l.. Mckinnon and two Traction com
pany men could rush the oulmptor to
the scene. The instrument was kept
in operation for nearly thirty minutes
before it was decided that all efforts
were hopeless.
