WOULD PROHIBIT A
| 1916 COTTON CROP
SENATOR CASTEEL HAS A BILL
HE WILL INTRODUCE IN
LEGISLATURE.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 1.-THE grow
ing of cotton in Mississippi during
1916 will be forbidden by law if bill
now being drawn by Senator H. H.
Casteel, of Holmes county is adopted
by the next Mississippi legislature.
Asked if he thought such measure
would be constitutional, Senator Cas-
teel said, Some of the best lawyers
of the state hold that under the po-
lice power of the state such law will
meet the test of the constitution"
1t will be remembered that former
Governor E. F. Noel endeavored more
than a year ago at the last session
of the legislature to have the legis-
I'lature pass a law curtailing the out
put Of cotton.
Some months ago Senator Casteel
went to the Texas legislature as an
emissary of the cotton growers of
this state to ascertain if that body
would be willing to adopt a law for
bidding the planting for one year if
Mississippi would do likewise. How
ever he found the sentiment of the
Texas legislature unfavorable to the
proposition. Senator Casteel now
says that he has information that the
Texas law makers changed their
minds and would pass a law to that
effect if Mississippi would take the
lead.
Senator Casteel says that in the
event his proposed bill is adopted the
farmers of Mississippi will hold the
! 1915 crop and that the money for the
cotton will go in the pockets of the
| farmer instead of the dealers.

first time Betty, sheltered little con

feminine trepidation will be spotted in
a minute by any hotel and apartment

timid, lone ladies to whom the sound

sugar only In soaps that had little
value. BY the new method. 1t is
claimed. the soap produced 10. not
only fine and delicate. but It acts as
efficiently in salt water as in fresh
fact that may make the soap valu-
able for the navy.
Articles that formerly had to be
sent to chemical laundries can now be
washed with the new kind Of soap.
The finest kinds Of silks. 1t 10 alleged.
