Miniature Blizzard Hits
All Atlantic Seaboard.
But MOderates at Niqht

NEW YORK, April 3.-New York and
virtually the entire Atlantic seaboard
were III the grip OF miniature bliz-
zard on this the day before Easter.
SNOW. thick, wet and sticky. driven by
a northeast gale which at times at
tained a velocity Of sixty miles an
hour, held up transatlantic sailings,
caused craft off the coast to scurry for
shelter. damaged telephone and tele-
graph wires. delayed interurban and
suburban trains and crippled trans
portation on the surface and elevated
lines. Tonight the fakes were falling
as fast as ever. but local weather
bureal officials believe the storm
viii have blown itself OUT before
morning. The condition OF the streets
tonight made remote the possibility Of
holding the usual Easter parade on 5th
avenue tomorrow.
The disturbance was general from
Maine TO Florida, with the heaviest
gales between New York and the Eir-
ginia capes, and snow falling as far
down the coast as South Carolina. The
center Of the storm was reported to
be off Cape Hatteras. where the steam
ship Prinz Maurits of the Royal
Dutch West Indian line was in dis
tress and sending wireless calls for
help. High tides banked up by the
gale inflicted considerable damage
along the New Jersey and Long Island
coasts

To Be a Hard Fight.

OF course. the democrats do not ad-
NIT the soundness of the arguments
which the republicans advance in sup
port of their expectations and con-
fidence, but that does not serve to les
sen their admission of the necessity of
girding for the battle and preparing to
lay on nightly. No democratic politi-
clan of prominence deludes himself
with the idea that the outlook for 1916
is as favorable to the democrats as the
conditions under which the campaign
Of 1912 was fought.

THIS IS THE TINE WHEN.

Ma and Pa and the kiddies
grab q bushel basket stuffed to
the brim with good things to eat
and hit the trail to the country
grove, and picnic all day long.
OF course there is much to be
said against picnicing, and not
the least of the objections are
these:
1t always rains just about time
Ma gets the dinner spread out
on the white tablecloth stretched
out on the grass.
Some stray pup always gets in
to the lunch basket and makes
away with the best piece Of the
fried chicken.
Twenty billion ants and other
intoxicating insects crawl into
the sandwiches and go to sleep
Brother Willie always gets his
sunday pants torn.
Sister Susie, gets her pretty
white dress danbed up with u
varied assortment Of jams and
jellies and such like.
But the fact remains that
there isn't any other amusement
in which the great American
public indulges that gets the
same whole-hearted glad-hand as
does this picnic idea when Ma
announces on the evening before
the day:

MISSISSIPPI WHEAT.

Mississippi wheat is beginning
to arrive in Memphis in large
quantities and buyers not only
are handling all that has been
shipped here to date, but are
contracting tor deliveries to pc
made next week.
E. r. Gardner, inspector of
the grain and hay freight traffic
bureau of the Merchants Elk
change, says the Mississippi
wheat is as good as any ever ship
ped here from the middle west
grain belt. Several tests made
to date show the wheat is No. 2
quality, the same grade that is
gwen wheat from Illinois, Mis-
souri, and other states. No. l
wheat is produced only In the
far northwest.
The Mississippi wheat, accord
ing o Mr.. Gardner, tests out
from 58 to 80 pounds to the bush
el. Considering that it is ship
ped here direct from the thresh-
er, the Mississippi wheat con-
tains only q small amount OF
moisture.
Yates & Donelson, grain buy
ers and millers, yesterday pur-
chased two cars of wheat from
Greenwood, Miss. They paid
$1.O4 per bushel delivered in
Memphis. This seems to be the
average price paid by all other
dealers.

SHOULD Co.
OPERATE WITH THEIR
COUNTY PAPERS.

The Record Advertiser, pub
lished at Houston, Va, is urging
its rural subscribers to do just
what we should like for our
farmers to do-give us the news
from their farms-to make our
paper a sort of clearing house of
ideas for farmers of this vicinity.
Farmers do not use their local
papers enough, and yet the pa
pers afford the best and quickest
ways to build up their farms and
communities. Every farmer
should tell his local paper about
his successes on the farm and
how they were achieved. We
are always glad to get a farming
story, for it enables us to spread
the news of progress in our vicin
|ity. And no one needs a flow
Of eloquence to tell of his sue
cess. The facts of farming
success are eloquent in them
selves. So write US. The edi-
tor can rearrange the wording of
il if such need be done.
No farmer should be too in
different or too engrossed in bis
own work to pass a good idea
along to his fellowmen, thus Civ
ing them the benefit of his ex-
perience. Such articles are al
ways an inspiration to others.
We well know the true and last
ing advancement of our commu-
nifty can come in no other way
than through the upbuilding
of our farms, and SO it is not po.
litical and social news we want
any more than it is news from
the farms.-Walrerboro Press

to the door of the small farmer
and the laboring man in the
country as to the well-to-do man
in the city?
Which man is willing to de-
vote heavy tax for school and
road purposesg After securing
these taxes which man has a
plan of spending the money so
that the dollar will get back to
the taxpayer and will not be cut
in two by feecharing office hold

though they may be honest do
not understand what they are

SPLENDID DAIRY PURSES
Missouri State Fair to Have
Seven Butter Contest This
Fall.

One of the interesting fea-
lures of the Missouri State Fair
at Sedalia, September 25 to De-
tober 2, will be the 7-day butter
contest to be put on under the
direction of State Dairy Com
missioner E. G.. Bennett, who
for the South Missouri Dairy
mems Association is offering a
$500 purse in this contest.
All that is necessary to enter
the contest, open for any and
all breeds, is for the exhibitor to
secure from his creamery man
a certificate that he is selling
milk products to that dairy from
the animals exhibited.
This should be one of the very
pest ana most attractive tea-
lures of the animal husbandry
department at the State Fair
this fall. Dairy Commissioner
Bennett hopes to be able to an
nounce soon a series of purses
form the Jersey Cattle Breeders
Association as well as valuable
special prizes from the dairy
supply dealers. These prizes are
virtually secured and will add a
great deal of interest to the con-
tests in the dairy classes in the
coming big exposition at Sedalia
as they will be among the most
attractive given at any state
fair this fall.
