ABOUT THE MORTGAGE
For One Thing, as a TireIess Worker
It May Be Said to Hold the
Record.

A mortgage makes a nan rustic
and 1t keeps him poor. 1t is a strong
incentive to action, and a wholesale
reminder of the fleeting months and
years. 1t is fully as symbolical in its
meaning as the hour-glass and scythe
that mean death.
A mortgage represents industry, he
cause 1t is never idle, night or day.
II Is like a bosom friend, because the
greater the adversely the closer it
sticks to a fellow. 1t is like a brave
soldier, for it never hesitates at
charges, nor fears to close in on the
enemy. 1t Is like the sandbag of the
thug-silent in application, but dead
ly in effect. It IL like the hand of
providence-it spreads all over crea.
ton, and its influence is everywhere
visible. 1t Is like the grasp of the
devil-fish-the longer 1t holds the
greater its strength. It will exercise
feeble energies and lend activity to
a sluggish brain, bit no matter how
debtors work the mortgage works
harder still. A mortgage is a good
thing to have in a family-provided,
always, it is in somebody else's fam.

Crop Summary Given.

S'NSt
Mr.. c. NJ. Huber, the Crystal
Springs truck farming expert, has Is
sued the following summary Of the
vegetable outlook in Mississippi for
the week just closed;
Weather conditions since our last
report, eight days ago. have been very
favorable to all classes of vegetation.
Practically all tomato plants have
now been set out In the fields. Should
weather conditions continue favorable
shipments may begin June / or a few
days earlier. Early estimates Of an
increase In acreage still hold good.
Peas are making splendid progress.
A few may be ready for shipment IN
the near future.
Cabbage is now growing nicely, but
plants are much smaller than usual
at this date. Car lots will not begin
until the first week in May.
Acreage in beans not quite as large
as usual. This crop is very late, just
getting started good.
Beets and carrots are now growing
rapidly, but are much later than other
seasons.
Strawberries have been moving in
limited quantities, three to six cars
daily. from the Louisiana berry dis.
trict. The main crop is not started
to ripen as yet. and much will de.
pend upon how soon that section Is
visited by a rain.
