Gifts to OkOlOna

Large gifts were announced
yesterday at the thirteenth an
nual meeting here of the trus-
tees of the Okolona, Miss, In
dustrial School. From the
trustees themselves $3159 was
received and President Battle of
the school announced that a
$50, 900 legacy would be avail
able next fall. The meeting
was presided over by A. T.
Stovall of Okolona, president of
the board, and Southerner of
a large influence. After calling
attention to some of the larger
needs of the school, Mr.. Stovall
concluded "The ultimate pur-
pose of Okolona Industrial
School is its influence on the life
and work of the negroes in Mis-
sissippi and the South, and in
this regard the results are pay
ing ten-fold for all the untiring
efforts Of the trustees, president
and teachers.
PRESIDENT Battles annual re-
port was received with enthusi-
asm. The school is now thor
oughly equipped through its
central power plant with water,
light and heat. The school
farm of $50 acres is in high
state of cultivation, portions of
which will produce this year 100
bushels of corn per acre, but the
farm is greatly in need of more
stock. The deficitin the schools
bills -(part of which was brought
over from the previous fiscal
year, is only $4,000. 1t was
then stated that Moorfeld Storey
has given $1,000, and that other
members of the Board have con-
tributed $2150 to the school.
They now appeal to the public
for immediate aid to cancel the
balance.
A vote of appreciationwas ten

which, with great care, has
been investigating and revising
the management of Negro in

other pursuits, this fact may be
accepted as further reason
why the farmer, when COM
PEELED to borrow, should be en-
titled to most favorable terms
as to payment as we'll as to con-
cession in rates of interest. For
it is a rule we'll established the

Rural Credits
By J. T. Thomas

time at low interest rates-ar
invariably brought into all dis
sions of the subject of Farm and
Life, Rural Improvements, Di-
versifcation or any other sub
ject pertaining to the pursuit of
agriculture. Oftentimes, cheap
money on easy terms of pay
ment, is offered as a panacea for
many of the attendant ills of
rural life. Indeed it seems that
many of our politicians would
have us believe it were possible
for the poor wn-trodden
farmer" to obtain money on
easy terms and at low rates,
that his burden would roll away,
as easily as did the sins of the
transgressors so graphically de-
picted in the "Pilgrim's Prog
aess" the bag full.
Certainly money is essential
to the success of every business.
Banks secure needful funds in
the way of deposits, upon which
to operate, from the people
of the vicinity in which they are
located, or else some of them
must borrow in the money CEN
ters to supply their require
ments. Ninety per cent of
merchants, manufacturers and
traders borrow and almost every
business, at times, finds it nee
essary to issue notes of hand, or
promises to pay, to satisfy or
supply some pressing need or
demand. The pursuit of farm
ing being one of business, moth
ing more, nor less, certainly the
farmer, when compelled to bor-
row, should be entitled to most
favorable terms of payment with
every advantage in interest
notes. Indeed since the farm,
in the broadest sense, is the
greatest source of wealth of our
country, and as the farmer is
the bed Rock" as it were, up
on which the finances of our
country rest, then certainly he
is deserving of the highest con-
sideration and entitled to every
favor which would tend to faci-
late his business as we'll as to
assist him to ultimate indepen-
dence. 1t is, no doubt, true
that three out of five loans made
to the farmers of our country
would be more helpful if stipula-
tions for payment would allow a
time of five or more years, eth
er in annual installments, or in
terest annually and principle in
one amount as might best suit
the individual case.
| have heard it suggested,
over and over again, that COM
panies or corporations organized
upon a plan somewhat along the
lines of farm loan companies,
now in operation in the coun-
tries of Europe, more particular
ly France, Italy and Germany,
would be the very thing" To
adopt such a plan would neces-
state the organization of loan
societies, banks or companies,
under authority of state or ma
tional government; or to put it
another way, charter under fed
eral or state laws from loan
banks, to be operated upon
mutual basis for the purpose of
making loans to farmers or loans
secured by farm property, some
thing after the plan of building
and loan associations, if you
please, where the borrower con-
tributes to and at the time
shares in the profits and thus
derives a benefit from liability,
if the paradox be possible in the
plan of finance. 4
To mention the details of oper-
alton of such organizations
would consume more time than
necessary, since those who de-

CAL0MEL TODAY,
 SICK TOMORROW
Dose of nasty calcmel makes you sick
 and you lose d days work.

Calcmel salivates! It's mercury. Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug glish liver. When calomel comes into contact. with sour bile it crashes into it, causing cramping and nausea.
 If you feel bilious, ,headachy, con- stipated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a 50 cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without mak- ing you sick, you just go back anc get your money.
 If you take calomel today you'll be sick and nause ated tomorrow, be- sides, it may salivate you, while fl you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great, full ot ambition and ready for work or play It's harmless, pleasant and safe tC give to children; they like 1t.

"PEACE AT ANY PRICE,"

We hear much at the present mo ment af ths term, Peace at any price"
 Who advocates such peculiar doc Urine is not quite clear. William Jen- nngs Bryan states explicitly that he is not a eace-at-any-price man and Bryan, of all others, has been deemed at the head of this cult.
 Firemen are ready and equipped for a fire without wishing for one. That should be the position of our country. Bryan himself has publicly stated himself as favoring this principle. He cannot, then, be a peace at-anyprice man.
 What the nation is inflicted with, unfortunately, are war at any price men. One does not need micro scope to find them.

THE FLY CAMPAIGN IN DETROIT

The injunction to "sWat the fly" has become general all over the coun- tly. To this in the last few years has been added the additional injunc- ticn to swat him early. Spring fly campaigns are now feature of the rublic health work in many of our cities.
 An especially effe ctive popular movement in this direction is now being carried on in Detroit, under the direction of the local board of health. Taking advantage of the human fond- ness for rivalry and competition, the boys of the different wards and sec liens of the city are being organized under one chief junior sanitary In spector and 24 junior sanitary inspec- tors. Under each inspector are from five to seven captains. Under each captain are from two to seven lieu tenants. This furnishes a force of 24 inspectors, 125 captains and 600 lieu tenants. Each lieutenant has as many patrolmen as he can enlist. In all, over 1000 boys are enrolled Ill this movement. Each of these young health workers is provided with q suitable and imposing badge. Each lieutenant is provided with map ot his district which he returns. show ing all manure piles, uncovered gar hage receptacles, breeding places TOT Ties and other insanitary conditions in his district
 Restaurants, meat markets, milk depots, bakeries, etc., are visited al intervals, and report is made on all tho flies which can be counted Ill certain number of minutes. The re- ucrts are all tabulated on large man at head-uuarters, so that com parison is always possible between different districts.
 The conduct of the work and Me discipline of the junior force are aS far as possible left in the hands o'

Man for man and woman for wo- man, New York evidently is very poor sore of a place. A statisticiar claims that there are only l49,Ool people there whose incomes are $2, 800 a year or more. Considering the comparative lOwness of those figures, it is rather astounding. The tl ouble with New York is that the class of folks represented by the cast side and the slums is too fal removed from the sort inhabitin$ Riverside drive.
