IF

If You can keep your head when all about YOU
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you:
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you.
But make allowance for their doubling. too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies.
Or, being hated, don't give away to hating,
And you don't look too good or talk too wise:
II you can dream and not make dreams your master:
If you can think and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster.
And treat those two impOsters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you have spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools
Or watch the thing you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build it up with WORKOUT tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings,
And risk it on one turn of pitch and toss,
And lose and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone.
And 50 hold on when there is nothing in you,
Except the will that says to them, Hole ont,
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings, nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt YOU,

If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds worth of distance run.

GEO, D. classify CHARGED
WITH PERJURY.

Greenwood last wednesday aftef-
noon when it became known that
the United States Marshal,
W. S. Vardaman, had arrested
Geo. D. Classify on a charge
of perjury in connection with the
bankruptcy proceedings recently
filed by Mr.. Classify.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Classify listed his liabilities at about
$4,000 and his assets at about
$4,000, claiming considerable in
debtednesS to relatives for Dor
rowed money.
Since the closing of Mr.. Cas-
sity's store the suspicion OF
several of the attorneys for the
large number Of creditors were
aroused as to the correctness OF
the liabilities listed, and when MIR
NJ. L. Robertson of ltta Bena was
appointed trustee, he began tC
make investigations, and when the
bankrupt made a Is per cent
composition offer to creditors, adj
vised the creditors by mail not tC
accept, and the offer will not be
accepted by them.
Tuesday afternoon Trustee Rob
ertSOn SWOre out a search war
rant and when the process WaS
served on C. S. Kunkel, a clerk 0,
G. D. Classify, who conducted
store for him a few doors west 0

bred dollars worth of merchan
| disc, and 1922 in cash, was founC
| seCretcd in KunkelS room over
Cassity's main store, and also al
the books formerly kept b!
Classify.
At the hearing before Referee
Magruder Of this city on Feb. lltf
Classify stated that he did no
keep any books; that he oWet
Kunkel So, $50, and some rel
atives about $500, as was LISTED
in his scheduled liabilities, anC
that he only had "a cents in cash
on hand at the closing Of his Eusi
ness. When KunkclS room
was searched, he made a clear
breast Of the affair, saying tina
the notes listed in the bankrupt!
schedule as owing by bankrup
to Kunkel, aggregatlng $3.50
were fictitious and were not ow
ing to him; that Mr.. Classify CAV
him $l750.00 in cash before thu
petition in bankruptcy was filed
which Mr.. Kunkel turned over t
Trustee Robertson; that he knew
Mr.. Classify did not owe his rela
tives any money, and that THU
bankruptcy proceedings had beer
contemplated for over a year, an(
tn he and Mr.. Classify were t(
divide the $l75O.00 in cash, ant
the dividends paid Kunkel from
the listed notes in the schedul,
alleged to be owing to Kunkel b,
Classify.
Testimony was taken in full a
the hearing before Referee Ma
gruder in this city, at which Nh
Classify made statements in cor
r%oboration Of the liabilities a.
listed in his schedule with origi
nal voluntary petition, which vii
be filed with the proceeding
when Mr.. Classify is arraigne(
for trial in Federal Court.
Mr., Classify was taken to Clarks
dale Wednesday evening, wher,
Commissioner W. G. Lander.
granted him bond for appearance
! at the Federal Court, on July 26
in the sum of 100000.
Trustee Robertson is deter
mined to get the creditors dolIa,
for dollar on their claims, if pos
sIbIe, and can be depended upol
to do his full duty in looking at
ter their interests.
No charge has as yet been pre-,
ferred against Mr.. Kunkel.

J. R. KICKS ADVISES PLANTING
PLENTY CORN.

On account of the scarcity and fl.
high price of corn, every farmer shouH
plant enough to supply his needs ana
some to sell, since corn at rs cents .
bushel is a profitable crop. On so;l.
producing from 40 to so bushels ma,
acre we have been growing corn a,
the Station at an expense Of Is cent,
per bushel. Every operation in ,hs
making of the crop from the rent ON
the land to the putting of it into thu
crib was charged to it just as if thu
land had been rented and all the wott
hired done.
PREPARATION OF THE SOIL Bette,
results are obtained when the land |.
broken deeply in the fall or winter and
| the seed bed made with a disc harrow
in the spring, Should it be necessarv
to pIow the land again in the spring N
order to destroy grass or weeds thu
blowing should be shallow. The seed
bed should be fiat on all the well
drained soils. On poorly drained sols
it is better to plant on ridges or beds
except when the corn is planted late IN
May or June, then fiat preparation II
better.
TINE TO PLANT. The last of March
and the first of April paintings will
give better yields than later planting, |
An average of our results shows that
March planted corn yields about one.
third more than June planting. How.
ever, on poorly drained soils it is better
to plant the crop in June.
VARIETY To PLANT.-The prolific
varieties, such as Cookies, Mosby and
Hastings are among the best yielder
at the Station. Tennessee Red Cob /
the best yielding one land variety We
have tested.
CULTIVATION. Systematic and thor.
ough cultivation is very essential in the
making of a good corn crop. Weed,
and grass must be kept from coming
up and the soil must not be allowed to
become crusted, but the mulch should
be maintained. For early planted CON
the first two civilizations should Be
done with a cultivator having con
shovels on it that will go fairly deep
At this time the roots are not lOna |
enough to be injured to any extent By
a deep cultivation, and those that ap
injured will not materially effect ,ts
growth of the young plant inasmuch a
there is plenty Of moisture in the soil
in the spring. On later paintings thea
deep civilizations should not be made
since moisture conditions might be sud-
that the plants would be injured. Afti
the corr from any date of planting /
10 or y inches high the cultivation
should be shallow, just deep enough u
keep down the weeds and grass and u
keep a good mulch. All cultivation
should leave the land as level as LOST
Bile.
LAYING BY TINE. Our RESULT
show that the best time to ''lay by
when the corn is punching to tasssl
This cultivation should be done with
small cultivator and should be shallow
The Planet Junior Cultivator is a good
implement for this purpose. Ths
laying by" should leave the land q
level as is possible to do so.
Every row Of corn should have pea
planted in it at laying by time. Thea
may be put in the mindless with
one-horse Cole drill, or may be put b
with an ordinary corn planter by using
the pea plate, or if seed peas are plel.
tiful they may be broadcasted by hand
the cultivation given with the sinai
c~ultivator will cover them.
