THE WAY TO WIN.

A young man from the country on go
ing to a great city asked a noted editor how
he could win fame and fortune and received
the following excellent reply:
"First, get rid of all excelsior non
sense, stay down below and let the glaciers
and mountain peaks take care OF themselves.
"Second, do you work well, no matter
what it is. Study your business. Make
and heart into it. If it is bookkeeping,
then keep books in such a fashion that the
Angel Gabriel will want to lend you his
crown as a token Of approval. If you are a
mechanic, artesian, or farmer, be proud Of
Yourself and the rest of the world will soon
be proud of you. Nothing is needed so
much in this generation as a man with
skilled fingers. You may have a long pull,
but the clock will strike an unexpected hour
and the opportunity-which comes to every
body in turn, but which most people miss
will present itself. Study the bulldog and
when you get your teeth in a big thing let
them stay there.
''Third, save money. The coward u n
in debt, the brave man has a five dollar sur
plus in his pocket. The world may laugh at
YOU because you can't have a four-in-hand
necktie. All right, let it laugh. You are
YOUR own world and the people who sheer
are simply outside barbarians. When they
see that five dollar bill growing bigger they
will all want to shake hands with you and
send YOU to congress. Keep we'll within
your income and you will save yourself from
skulking around the corner like a kicked dog
when the dun is on your track. The handi-
est thing on the planet is the penny laid up
for a rainy day.

A MERCHANT MARINE.

The meeting just closed Of the Cotton
States Merchants association put itself on
nc uncertain terms as indorsing President
Wilson and his plan for a government-owned
merchant marine, says the Memphis Scim-
itar. The necessity for more shipping facil-
tiles is being felt by all the country, and es-
pecially by the South. England has assumed
authority to tell us what we may and may
not ship, and as we have nc ships of our
Wilson had been allowed to have his way
during the last session of congress, and if
five Democratic senators had not proven
traitors to their-party and torpedoed the
ship purchasing bill, this country would not
now be suffering such expensive embarrass-
ment. The people should remember those
senators when they offer again for ~re-elec-
ton, and it is well for them that the law
provides no recall at the present time.

WHERE DOES THE SOUTH STAND?

Are the business men of the South in favor
of standing by President Wilson and leaving him
unhampered in the trying position in which he
is placed?
Are they in favor of calling a halt on the
pernicious activity of some politicians in the
effort that is being made to embarrass Woodrow
Wilson, upon whom rests a weightier RESPONSE
biity for human veal and for civilization itself
than ever before rested upon any President of
this country?
Are the people of the South willing to per-
NIT themselves to be posed before the world as
whining critics OF the President elected from
their section and by their votes, and who has
gathered around him in his cabinet and in high
official position men from all parts of the South,
and who has made a Southern man ambassador
to Great Britain and a Southern man ambassador
to Italy, thus giving to this section at home and
abroad every possible advantage of representa-
ton by its own peoplee
The South is being placed in a false position
before the world. 1t is being posed as more in
terested in cotton than in honor.
We invite from our readers throughout the
South an expression of their opinion against the
present agitation, which is largely designed to
the President in his international
negotiations. Now is the time for the South to
speak out, and to speak with vigor.-Manufac-
Record.

SET IN MISSISSIPPI.

q million acres in fall sown oats for
Mlsslsslppl was the outstanding goal set be-
Tore the county and State agricultural
agents at their annual meeting which closed
at the Mississippi A. & NJ. College on the
10Th inst after a four-day session.
In many respects, the closing day was
the most important and most instructive
from apractlcal application standpoint and
the manifest enthusiasm for a greater agri-
cultural Mississippi exhibited by the agents
from every part Of the State bespeaks a
coming year OF upbuilding in every depart
ment OF the work which includes drainage,
building construction, surveying, terracing,
winter crops, livestock, veterinary
medicine, horticulture, corn and pig club
work, horticulture and dairying.
fridays program was opened by Prof.
+. K. Lloyd under whose supervision all
agricultural extension work in the State
will be done. Prof. Lloyd talked upon the
growing Of beef cattle, reviewing in detail
some experiments which. he had conducted
at the college. His experiments showed the
following results:
Cottonseed meal fed with corn silage
gave the best results in feeding out steers
with a net profit OF $$35 per steer; c~ottonseed
a net profit Of $333;; ~cottonseed meal fed with
johnson grass and pea vine silage netted
near $28 per ton; cottonseed meal and bulls
was fourth in profit with meal and corn
slower coming in last.
Prof. G.. A. Cobb, in charge of the boys
corn club work in Mississippi, was second on
the program with a discussion of seed corn
selection. He outlined in detail the marvel
Gus progress in corn yields in Mississippi
from %, 600, 900 bushels in 1900 to an est
mated yield in 1915 Of 68, 600, 900 bushels.
He further describes the process of going
into the field and locating there the desira-
BILE stalks of corn and conspicuously mark
ing them for separate harvesting.
Prof. e. B. Ferris, director of the Nc
Neil, Mississippi, experiment station, came
in with a thorough discussion of fertilizers
for Mississippi soils, with particular refer
|ence to South Mississippi conditions, where
he has done most of his work.
In the afternoon, Prof. Frank Farley,
OF the college extension force, lead the dis
cussion Of beef cattle industry. He advo-
Gated the use of pure bred sire or native
cows to bring up large herds in rapid order.
He deplored the use Of dual purpose cattle
at any time, showing how only one purpose
could be uppermost with the cow and either
she should be a good milk cow or a good
beef COW rather than a medium for both.

.UR|CK RULES ON
REVOLVING DOORS
SAYS THAT THEIR ACTION IS
AGAINST STATE REQUIRE
MENTs FOR EXITS.

Des Moines, Dec. 2. - A. l. Urick,
state labor commissioner ruled that a
revolving door does not comply with
the state law which requires that all
entrances and exit doors open out
ward
The decision may be blow to own
ers of office buildings, stores and 9TH
er buildings which are not equipped
with the revolving doors. The ruling
was given at the request OF Norval
Enger, state hotel inspector It will
be enforced Immediately on hotels.
It is expected that case will be filed
in the district court to test the COM
missioner's ruling. The commissioner
says:
"The exit way of revolving doors
opens out while the entrance way OF
such doors opens inward. In my opin-
ion such door is not in compliance
with the law which provides that en-
trance and exit doors shall open out
ward.
Recognizing the great purpose OF
revolving doors to be that of prevent
ing drafts of cold air from entering
the establishment, am of the opinion
that where they are permitted they
should be of easy collapsible installa-
ton. and there should be constructed
at the side of such revolving doors, an
emergency door swinging outward, in
this way preventing risks from panic
of people in the building during hre
or other catastrophe

lowA,s CORN CROP.

Ivan Whitfield, publicity agent for
the Iowa department of agriculture,
declares that the governments esti-
mate Of the Iowa corn crop does the
state great injustice. The Iowa de-
partment puts the yield at 60 per cent
Of normal crop while the report sent
out from Washington is that the state
has only Is per cent Of a crop. Mr..
Whitfield adds that reports show that
fifty-nine counties have an abundance
Of good seed corn, and it is believed
that if the reports were complete from
the remainder OF the counties it would
be found that the state is pretty well
provided against any seed corn or
crop shortage. Mr.. Whitfield finds, af-
ter reviewing the situation, that "the
farmers will continue to buy automo-
biles and farm machinery and the
state should enjoy prosperity regard
less of conditions in other states"
