.ROBE MARQuARD TO BE 26 YEARS OF
 AGE TOMORROW

Although the Germans are very prevalent in Americas national pas tirne and a club of picked Teutons could probably put up a mighty good argument against the best that the Irish, English, French and other all lies could get together. the supporters of the Triple Entente can still find more or less consolation in the pos session of M. Richard de Marquis, known in our set as Rube Marquard- Richard is of French descent. The elongated Rube will be twenty-six years old tomorrow having been born In Cleveland on the twenty-second of April 1889.
 And now permit us to lift the cur. tain from deep and dark consptr- acy Richard de Marquis first ap- pearea in inc box score of a profes- sionaI game back in 1907, when. at the tender age of f@eighteen, he. donped the uniform of the Cantor, Ohio, Gen. tra1 league club.

In Canton the lengthy lad did so well that he was taken over by the Ipdfan- apolfs American Association club in 1sos- It is there that the conspiracy begins.
 The Hoosfer capital had among its inmates a large percentage of Ger! U1axlE1 and one or these was the pdSS- ball reporter on a local paper.

Showing Pride in Premises.

"One of the most encouraging
signs of the times" says the Me-
ridian Dispatch, lis the fact that
more attention is now being paid
by people who live in the country
to the appearance of their homes
and the general improvements on
their farms. Heretofore people
have, to a great extent, lived on
lheir farms like they expected to
give it up next year by the fore
closure of a deed of trust or by
moving to Texsa or some other
state. They have not felt that de-
gree of permanency that is essen
tial to the highest degree of sue
cess. They have not painted or re-
painted their houses in a way to
preserve them and add to their at
tractiVeness. A little paint, used
judiciousIy about the farm every
year, will add greatly to appear
ances. It is in the homes of the
country. owned by those who dwell
on them, and kept in first class re-
pair that the future greatness of
the country depends, for the homes
are the source of the greatest in
spiration toward patriotism and
right living.

Woman to Make Speech.

Jackson, Miss. Mrs Margaret
Kinkead Thompson of Yazoo
county, candidate for state librari-
an, has been awarded the unique
distinction of being the first wo-
man ever asked to deliver politi-
cal speech in Mississippi. Mrs
Thompson has been requested to de-
liver an address at the Woodmen
Springs picnic in Amite county.
July %.
The promoters of the picnic
plan to make the July gathering a
notable political event and are ex-
erting every effort to have candi-
dates of note present on that occa-
sion to make an address. That
Mrs. Thompson has been invited is
a source of much pleasure to her
friends who regard it as an omen
of success.
Mrs Thompson is one Of the
most progressive women of the
state. She served the last legisla-
ture of Mississippi as postmistress
of the House of Representatives
and has several times beer sent as
a delegate from Yazoo county to
commercial gatherings of statewide
interest.

Seamstresses Victimized.

The Postoffice department has
made public the details of scheme
by which seamstresses all over the
country have been victimized. A
Kansas City company offered home
work to sewing women but submit
ted a clever pretext for an advance
of twenty-five cents. Later, an ex-
cuse was made for the advancement
Of nineteen cents more. When
these requirements had been COM
piled with the conditions under
which the work was to be obtained
were such as to discourage practi-
calIy all applicants.
Special attention is called to the
case as it indicated to what depths
unscrupulous persons will descend
in their efforts to obtain money
fraudulentIy by the use Of the
mails. In this case. large sums
had been obtained from one Of the
most needy classes of the popula-
tion AS the campaign had teen
conducted on a national basis. 1t is
to be presumed that many cities
contributed their quota Of victims

WHO ARE YOU FOR?

1t is not too late yet to sit
alone with your conscience" and see
who you really and truly want in
the Offices.
You must vote, August 3. for
every elective Office of our State
from Governor to constable, with
the exception of judges, Ghancel-
Iors and Congressman who were
elected last year It will be a
white Democratic primary.
So, in order to vote intelligently,
study the State ticket all the way
down or you Will be sure to make
mistake when you enter the booth
to mark your votes
And remember that the reason
our government is not satisfactory
is because we have been led off by
irrelevant things and have not vot-
ed for competent business men who
know how.
Note the qualifications cf your
"favorite candidate" Are you
fayoring him because he will hon.
estly serve the people. or because
you like him?"
The popular man" is not. gen.
orally, a leader. Remember to
vote for the competent man regard

Doesn't Pay to PatrOnize Agents.

Think of debt as you would of a
pestiIence and most of all avoid
'time prices If you must go
into debt try to borrow money at
6 to 8 per cent, put 1t in a bank
and pay the actual cash for what
you need. Better pay at the rate
of 10 per cent a year in interest
than at the rate of 80 to 70 per
cent year in time prices. And if
there is any thing else quite as bad
for keeping you in debt as time
prices, it is usually the prices ask
ed by travelling agents. The slick
tongued agent has made millions of
us pay two prices for things we
didn't half need It's a safe rule
to never buy anything from an
agent till you have had week to
think it over The Progressive
