A. & M HAS EDGE ON
MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE
CLINTON LADS HARDLY EXPECT
TO WIN, BUT WILL MAKE
HARD SCRAP SATURDAY.
BY S. E. Travis, Jr,

Special to The Neios.
Clinton, Miss, Sept. 29.-The whole
student body is looking forward to the
game with A. & M. in Jackson on next
Saturday. While everybody gives the
Aggies the credit for having a better
team than Mississippi College, the
Baptists will be there "hot and
heavy" and with lots of pep"
A. & NJ has nearly all of her last
years team back and they are better
than ever, according to all newspaper
dope. Mississippi has only one of last
years regulars back and two of last
tyear's substitutes.
Captain Anderson has not forgotten
the A. & M. game of 1918 when he
made one of the longest runs that has
ever been made for a touchdown, 90
yards, through tackle. He says that
he feels that every man on the team
is going to work his hardest so that,
even if the game does not result in
victory for the Yellow and Blue, the
farmers will have to acknowledge that
they have played football game such
as they have not played fvr some time.
The Mississippi squad is being put
through some hard practice. They
have got to get up and run five miles
before breakfast and must be on the
field ready for snappy signal prac-
tice and hard scrimmage with the
scrubs at o'clock.
The probable lineup for the game
will be:
Weathersby and Hardin, ends; Nc
Daniel and Simmons, tackles; Hall
and Dunlap, guards; Hartman, cen
ter; Hale, quarter; Anderson and
Shepherd or Mccoy, halves; Tate or
Rouse, full.

shipped when fully ripe by electric
lines, trucks, and other conveyances.
The different tomato-growng local..
ties endeavor to raise their crop so as
not to be in competition with each
other, and every effort is made to rush
the crop to market before the local
tomatoes come in The last of the
southern crop is frequently wasted be-
cause it cannot sell in competition
with northern tomatoes.

CITIZENS CLEAN UP
BAD PLACES IN BOND
MAYOR HEADS DELEGATION AND
VISITS OBJECTIONABLE PLACES;
WARNINGS TO LEAVE TOWN.
Special to The Nei0s.

Special to The NetCS.
Bond, Miss, Sept. 29.-Bond has
been hit by a moral-reform and gen
eral cleanup wave. Headed by the
Mayor, DR.. B. S. Hood, about thirty
five of the leading citizens Monday
night raided the entire blind tiger
district and in connection with the
blind tiger visits, called on three white
families who are said to have been a
menace to the morals of the communi-
ty for some time. These families were
warned to be out of town within sew
enty-two hours, and never to return
again. Then the raiders visited the
negro districts and issued the same
order to ten negro families.
Mayor Hood says that after determ-
lining to put stop to the blind tiger
and criminal industry of Bond, he
thought he could do so more effective
ly by appealing to the general citizen
ship for support. More than thirty
five men answered the call and the
results were more than satisfactory.

HERE'S WHERE THEY
GET THE TOMATOES
THEY STAY ON THE MARKET
LONGER THAN ANY OTHER
PERISHABLE VEGETABLE,

Washington, D. c., Sept. 27.-.Begin
ming early in the year and continuing
until late in the fall, tomatoes are
shipped commercially from over hall
of the states of the Union. There is
probably no other perishable vegetable
commonly grown out of doors in the
United States which appears on the
market through longer season than
does the tomato.
Florida, of course, with its loca-
tion and climate, stands as the pre-
mier tomato state and starts the to-
mato movement each year in January.
The northern states, such as New
York and Ohio, finish out the season in
October: and by the time the move
ment is over, approximately twelve
thousand cars are moved for table
consumption, according to a recent
survey made by the Department of
Agriculture and published in Bulletin
No. 290, Rail Shipments and Distribu-
tion of Fresh Tomatoes in 1914"
Florida ships about half the toma.

sippi, New Jersey, and Texas hand.
ling approximately 1900 cars apiece.
The other states grow tomatoes in
smaller quantities, but in certain dis.
tricts such as West Tennessee, the
crop is of great local importance.
The bulletin presents figures show
ing that a total of twelve thousand
cars we're moved; but this by no
means represents the entire tomato
crop, since an effort was made to ex.
clude those going to canneries and
catsup factories. When demand for
tomatoes in the markets is heavy, it
is more profitable to ship the tomatoes
which were originally intended for the
but if the market is weak
larger quantities are offered for can
ming.
There are certain localities where
i is more profitable to raise tomatoes
Tor canning than for table use. New
York, Delaware, and Ohio put the bulk
Of their production into the can, so
hat the total used for this purpose is
more than that shipped for table use.
Most of the table tomatoes are
picked when green and wrapped in
PAPER to ripen on the way to market
n ventilated cars. Texas for num-
,er of years has preferred to send its
'rop to market picked when ripe and
shipped in iced cars. Near many

WOMEN HEED CRY Of
KANSAS BACHELORS
MANY WRITE THE GOVERNOR
THEY WANT HUSBANDS WHO
DO NOT DRINK.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 29.-That many
young women want to get married and
are not afraid to say so is evidenced
by the numerous letters received at
the governors office in answer to the
call of Sitka, Kan, bachelors for
wives.
Two notable features characterize
the letters. One is that they came
mostly from women east of the Mis-
sissippi river; the other is that most
of the women, as badly as they want
husbands, insist that the bachelors
must not drink liquor. The sentiment
against drinking runs as strong in the
letters from the New York city girls
as from those of other sections of the
country.
Some of the letters are amusing,
some pathetic. In nearly every case
the woman describes herself, 81 am
considered very good looking" Most
of them also confess that they are
good house-keepers and expert cooks.
Also they are very fond of outdoor
life, and would be satisfied with low
ing husband and a farm. One New
York girl, however, was more partic-
ular than the rest. Her letter reads:
''Wanted-A farmer with $1,000 900
cash. No other need apply" She is
liable to want for some time as all
millionaire farmers in Kansas are al.

Another New York woman writes

Clubs. Indebtedness Reduced.
While the Jackson Highway discus
sion was the most important part Of
the meeting, the directors received an
Encouraging report from the steering
committee, who are fast rounding the
clubs finances into shape.
The committee reported that the in.
debtedness of the club has been re-
duced from about $1,000 to about $40O
and that they believe all the old debt
will be wiped away within the next
thirty days, certainly within the next
sixty days.
No Fair This Fall.
The directors decided that no coun
ty fair will be attempted this fall. The
temporary lack of organization of the
club and the lateness in getting start
ed, they thought, would be handicaps
hard to overcome, and while it is ex-
pected that after this year the fair
will be a regular annual event, it was
thought best not to attempt it this
year.

|NEAR-PAN|C NOW IN
| NORWAY AND SWEDEN
A S TO NDING ADVANCES IN
PRICES OF SIMPLE FOODS
CAUSES INCONVENIENCE,

Christiana, Norway, Sept. 20
Something very close to a panic is
spreading over both Norway and
Sweden, as a result of the alarming
scarcity of provisions and the unpre-
cedented prices which are demanded
for the simplest kind of food. Norway
is now on the point of following
Sweden's lead in prohibiting export
of all provisions OF which there is a
present shortage, in order that prices
may be brought down within reach of
the poorer classes.
The advance in prices in Norway
is approximately the same as in
Sweden, but in some cases it has been
even more marked. Herring which Is
one of the main articles of diet among
the peasant population, have ris,u
from two cents to four and half and
! five cents apiece, and the present
price of oatmeal is 25O per cent higher
than it was before the war.
The meat shortage was temporarily
Erelieved some time ago, as it was in
Sweden, by the slaughter of large
number of cattle, which there was
not enough grain to feed, but prices
have now advanced again, reaching
the highest level ever known in Nor.
way. 1t is curious paradox, how
ever, that as nation, Norway eco
nomic and financial condition is bet.
ter than before the war. Norways
| tremendous exports, at the same time
that they have drained the country
of its necessary provisions for home
consumption and carried masses of
the people to the verge of starvation,
have brought tremendous amount OF
money into the country, enabled the
country to pay for all it's imports, and
left a large surplus to be used for
industrial purposes and public loans.
The Bank of Norway-the govern
ments bank-had a year ago twenty
million dollars of gold in its vaults.
Today it has forty million. A year
ago it had issued paper money to the
extent of five and a half million be-
yond it's deposits, while today with
the same amount of paper currency
in circulation, it has a reserve of three
million dollars.
Deposits in private banks are at
present thirty million dollars greater
than a year ago on the same date.
These banks had to their credit in for
eign banks 100000 last year. This
year they have ten millions. The war
has thus brought Norway a flood tide
of prosperity, and if government ac.
tion is taken to reduce present prices
and provide the poorer people with
food, Norway will have little to lose
and a great deal to gain from long
war.
Norway's friendship for England and
the fact that she has had less to COM
plain of in the restriction of imports
than Sweden, have made her trade
question a much less serious one than
in her sister country. Her chief griev-
ance again England remains the
English censorship of her mail and
cablegrams to America and other neu.
trail countries. Norway is still trying
to devise a more direct and speedier
with America.
