would ask what's the matter with
Van DorstOn as a go-between candi-
date for labor and capital. There
isn't money enough in Chicago to buy
his vote or the principles he advO-
Gates. He is an able and cOnstrUc-
tive man, impartial and unbiased to-
ward all, a man who would command
the respect of rich and poor alike.
He is a man of problems, a man of
strength of character and foresight,
a man in the labor world and yet
stands without a peer in law, or in
the mechanical world, a man whose

man who condemns all women and
a woman who condemns all men are
both extremely unreasonable. A

MATRIMONY. - Why don't more
young people wed and live decent
married lives to their hearts con-
tent?
There are two answers. In the first
place, most of them expect too much
from each other, and when they
marry with such feeling they always
reap discomfort. In the second place,
very few men find employment that
is steady and high-saIaried enough to
support even a common and most
useful wife satisfactorily.

thoughts of religion and civilization

Ground Hog Day

Tuesday the End, Ground Hog
Day. was bleak and the clouds
hurg threatening overhead with
strong indication Of snow.
Our local weather prognostica-
tor, Noah Thomas, was on hand
promptly at the noon hour to
watch the ground hogs coming
and reports that the little ami
NAL failed to see his shadow and
spent the remainder Of the day
in regular hog fashion in looking
up something to appease an ap-
petite that had grown sharp
through months Of alternating.
Noah says that we may look
for an early spring. That as the
first day of the year and the first
day Of the month came in on Fri
day we could not reasonably have
expected anything but bad
weather in January. He states
that January also had two full
moons and that February will
not have any and March will
show up also with two full
moons. He predicts for Feb
ruary milder weather than we
had in January, but says there
will be considerable wind in
March. He says there will be
danger of frost about the End or
3rd Of April and after that time
beans and tomato plants will be
safe in the ground. Cotton can
be planted ten days earlier than
last year.

peg o. My Heart"

When a real human interest, a
play that appeals to the masses
as we'll as the classes. is sched-
uled for presentation in this city
it is a pleasure to announce its
coming and encourage our thea
tre-goers to patronize it. In this
instance the commendation goes
for the engagement of Oliver
Morosco's play Of charm, Peg
o. My Heart" which comes to
the Comus Theatre Feb. 6, one
night.
Probably no play on the Amer
ican stage in the past decade has
created so much favorable dis
cussion from people in all walks
of life as the Manners interesting
comedy. This has been empha-
sized most conclusively by the
glowing tributes in the press re-
views.
The action of the play which
takes place in England, tells of
little carelessly raised Irish
girl, who, when she is trans
planted into an aristocratic home
of unknown re atives, meets with
chilly reception. She is un-
welcome and tolerated simply for
the income they derive through
her, a legacy left her by the will
Of a wealthy uncle She finally
overcomes their dislike and wins
for herself a titled husband.
Oliver Morosco wishes to as
sure theatre-goers he is sending
to this city the same brilliant
. production as seen in the larger
Bcities of the south this season.
with Raa Martin as Peg" and
the same distinguished cast. The
distinct theatrical event OF the
season is promised.

Truck Growers Meeting

Members of the truck growers
association assembled at the
court house Saturday morning
for the purpose of discussing the
outlook for trucking in this vi
cinity this spring.
Mr.. E. H. Adair. an expert
enced and successful trucker of
Bonneville, was here and gave
the members of the association
valuable information as to how
and when to plant and where to
market any crops that might be
raised here. Mr.. Adair stated
that those engaged in trucking
at Bonneville found it profitable
to grow snap beans, English
peas, sweet and Irish potatoes.
He did not advise extensive plant
ing of Irish potatoes in the spring
for the market. The Bonneville
potato growers have found it
more profitable to plant in July
for the fall crop, which can be
sold at better prices or carried
through the winter for seed. He
advised the planting of the Tri-
umph sweet potato, which should
be ready for market by August.
Mr.. Adair's talk was altogether
practical and was enjoyed by ev-
eryone present.
A canvass Of the members
present resulted in practically all
agreeing to plant both sweet and
Irish potatoes in sufficient guam
titles as to enable the association
to ship in car lots. There will be
40 or so acres of both sweet and
Irish potatoes planted.

State Board of Health Issues
Circular Letter

or the state board of health, has
issued circular letter to all
health officers calling attention
to the prevalence in many places
of dogs suffering with rabies.
The county health officers are
urged to ask the board of super
visors for authority to have all
dogs muzzled in communities
where rabies appear until all
danger is past. The secretary's
letter follows:
''Rabid animals are very prev
alent in the state of Mississippi
at this time. Our knowledge of
/ this condition was obtained from
| persons that have been bitten by
/ these animals. Laboratory ex-
aminations of the animals have
shown that they were suffering
from rabies.
80 far as known at present,
this infection covers large area
of the state. 1t extends from
Lefore county in the north to
Pike county in the south and
from Copiah county in the west
to Newton in the eastern part of
the state. This means that this
infection is known at this time
to cover an area of about 20,
square miles. If something is
not done at once it will likely
spread over the entire state.
'At the October meeting of
the state board of health the
secretary was instructed to ar
range with the laboratory of the
United States public service to
furnish Mississippi with the Pas
teur treatment. This arrange
ment was made.
"A short time ago the first
patient reported for treatment.
Since that time patients have
been coming daily and asking for
this treatment. At the present
time DR.. C.. r. Stingily, director
of the laboratory, has been daily
treating cases. At this time 16
cases are under treatment. Most
of them are adults. but among
the number are four children.
By being able to arrange for this
treatment, it will mean a great
saving to the people of Missis-
sippi, IS heretofore such cases
went to New Orleans, where they
were treated at $50 per case.
The cases are treated absolutely
free by the state board of health
at Jackson, the only expense be-
ing their board and lodging.
Twenty-one days are required to
give the treatment.
The number of cases being
treated or having finished treat
ment are from the following
counties: Attala. /; Holmes, L;
Lefore. A; Madison, /; Copiah, l.;
Pike, 4 Coyington, 4.
This matter has reached a
critical stage, and you should
urge your board of county super
visors to take some action such
as requiring all dogs to be muz-
zled. And all dogs that are not
muzzled and running at large
should be killed. This would ap-
ply to all counties that border on
the infected area. /.
Kindly let me know what
action is taken in your county to
prevent the spread of this dis
ease. Very truly yours,
e. H. Galloway, M. d..
