OF Interest to the Public.

The Postal Service is making exten.
sive and effective preparations to han
die the large volume of mail, especial
ly Parcel Post, expected during the
coming Christmas Holidays. Addition
al clerks and facilities will be provided
in order to prevent any congestion and
resultant delay and damage to mail
The general public can materially as
sist the Post Office Department in dis
charging its duty by mailing their
Christmas packages as early as prac-
ticable, which will insure their safe
handling and prompt delivery. Such
action will also rebound to the general
benefit of the public.
Parcels may bear the words, 'fNot
to be opened until Christmas" or SINH
lar inscription, and this. together with
early shipment, insures the timeliness
of Christmas gifts. whereas the prac-
tice of mailing packages late in the
hope that they will reach their destina-
tion on Christmas day is likely to de-
feat its own object through unavoidable
delay due to the congestion Of the mail.
This is campaign of Prepared
ness" in which are readers are urged
to assist.

NOTICE TO TAX PAYERS.

To the Tax Payers of Noxubee County:J
My term of Office will expire on jan

ed but very few taxes. l take this
method of kindly asking you to pay
your taxes before l 60 out so l can get
the benefit Of the commission. It be-
longs to me! If it did not would not
ask you for it. The sheriff is like a
farmer, he never gets his salary until
fall. What he gets during the summer
and fall months doesn't pay the expen-
ses of the office, and if go out with
out collecting the taxes | will get moth
ing for the years work. After the
18th of December l could put men in
each beat and collect by distress and
charge damages, but will not resort
to such harsh means. If l can't COL
lect it withou: this / will have to do
without it.
| have been exceedingly kind and
lenient with you in the past, so treat
me right and come and pay your taxes.

that Noxubee does not have these clubs
He urged that corn clubs, poultry
clubs, pig clubs and canning clubs b,
organized. Then he used the chart t,
give instruction in gardening, in poult
ry and pig raising, and promised t
send literature and charts to the schoo
to use further in this instruction. He
showed what Mississippi girls are do
ing in canning clubs. Referring agar
to the growing of food for our own use,
he said, IA youngster in one of your
nelghboring counties got it right the
other day when he said that he had nv
speech and 1t was "Raise all you can,
eat all you can, and what you can't you
can.
After the speech at the High School
DR.. Farr visited the negro schsol and
spoke along the same lines.
Talks on "More Profitable Farming"
was made Monday afternoon at the
court house to fair size audience, by
Messrs. Fuller, connected with the
Southern Railway with headquarters in
some city in North Alabama, and Hatch
OF Illinois, who is not only a successful
farmer and one who has reached an
eminent 1egree of success. but is a
most forceful and entertaining speaker.
carries conviction with every state
ment he makes.
Mr.. Fuller was the first to speak and
his talk was on clovers their worth ss
cover crop as well IS pasture. He
stated that in getting ready for the
boil weevil his section had sowed a
large acrarge in clover and on the red
lands along the Tennessee river much
benefi. had been derived from it as a
soil builder. Mr.. Fnller's appearance
was that of a school boy and what he
knew q agriculturers seemed to be
gained more from text books and alb
servatEn than from actual experience.
Mr.. Hatch's appearance, manner and
speech was exactly the opposite. He
is one of the largest alfalfa growers Of
the West, and he has made his success
by buying wornout farms at a.
cheap price and building them up until
their value was two-times their origin
al cost.
He said that had the cinch bugs and
rust destroyed the cotton crops of
the South as it did the wheat crop Of
the Wc- tstsstY years az J ard tie
West continued with the one crop idea
that the South would be feeding the
West instead Of the West feeding the
South as it now does.
II was making talk to an Arkansas /,
audience not long ago" said the speak
er, when long whiskered old fellow
on front seat took exception to some |
OF my remarks and said, II don't be-
lieve you can tell me anything about
farming. l have owned three farms
and have worn them out and | mont
think you can tell me anything about
farming l don't know. -"
Mr.. Hatch stated that it made him
swell up worst than pouter pigeon
and he told the old fellow that the DIFF
ference between them was that he had
quilt up three wornout farms, while
