MAKE HAY WHILE THE
SUN SHINES.

Forestall the big feed bills and
lean cattle this winter by cutting
all available grass plots about the
farm for hay. Indications are
that meal and hulls will be out of
sight this fall" says J, R. Kicks,
of the Mississippi A. & NJ, Col
lege experiment station. Even
a poor quality Of hay" continues
this authority, has as much
feeding value as cotton seed bulls,
and COWS will readily eat it in the
winter MONTHS To those farm
ers who have not planted their
oat stubble lands in cowpeas or
soy beans, Mr.. Kicks suggests
that now is a good time to make
these loafng acres give good re-
turns by cutting off the crab
grass, water grass, or other vol
unteer grass crop, saving it for
winter forage. Where Johnson
grass grows we'll there is sure to
be good hay crop, and many ma
tive grasses make excellent hay,
which may be saved at a mini
mum cost just now, when the
field crops do not need the atten-
ton of the farmer. Leaving the
value of the hay out of consider
alton it is worth while to cut the
grass and weeds off the soil be-
cause this leaves it in better
shape for planting small grains
and clovers next fall.

THE DEATH OF DIR. r. H.
HUDNALL.


The following from the State
Baptist Record of this week will
be of interest to our readers in
Brandon, where DR.. Hudnall was
born and reared:
The announcement of DR.. r. H. Hud-
nails death will be read with deep re-
gret and sorrow by all his schoolmates
and alumni. DR.. Hudnall was one of
the true friends of Mississippi College.
He had kept in close touch with his
alma mater throughout all these years
since his graduation. | remember
him we'll as a student. He was grad
uated the first year / taught in the col
Iege, and | never had a more genial
spirit in my classes. He was conscien-
tious and accurate in his work, and at
that early stage in his literary career,
he displayed the real student and think
er. The following clipping is taken
from the Religious Herald:
/ On Sunday night, June 18th, DR.. R.
H. Hudnall, for eighteen years pro-
fessor of English in Virginia Polytech-
mic Institute, departed this life. He
had been a patient sufferer for many
wears, but did all of his work as usual
up to the last week before his death.
Even during these last few days. with
great suffering, he graded all OF his pa
pers and finished all OF his work. Then,
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him. and lies down to pleasant dreams.
so he rested from all his labors. The
funeral service was held ION Tuesday
morning on the lawn in front of his
late residence on the campus. The
service was in charge of DR.. Jackson,
of Alexandria, former pastor of the
Blacksburg Baptist church, and for
MANY years warm friend of DR.. Hud-
nails. After the service the body was
taken to Lynchburg for burial, accom-
panied by representatives OF the church
and faculty.
DR.. Hudnall was man of scholarly
attachments, having won his A. B. de-
gree from Mississippi College in 1890,
his M. A. degree from the University
of Virginia in 1894, and his Phi. D. from
Leipsic, Germany, in 1898. Ever since
coming to the v. P. l., in 1899, he has
taken a very active part in educational
affairs and in the work of the Baptist
church. His informing articles and
stirring addresses have made him well
known throughout the state and the
south. But few laymen have taken a
more active part in the affairs OF our
denomination than he did. He was
deeply interested in every phase OF the
work, but the cause which lay most
closely to his heart was Christian edu-
cation, and especially the work OF our
secondary schools. He gave much OF
his time and means to this noble cause,

court.
Douglass Briggs, a white man
residing near Goshen Springs,
was brought to Brandon Monday
by Constable Rufus Baker and
placed in Jail. Briggs was con-
victed in Justice Stewards court
of lifting roasting ears from a
negro's corn field, and was given
a sentence of ninety days on the
county farm. Briggs lived near
Brandon several years ago, and
/ bore the reputation Of being
color blind and having sticky
fingers. He and work had a fall
ing out years ago, and the good
people of Goshen Springs neigh
borhood tried to bring about a
reconciliation, but all efforts
failed, as Briggs hatred for
work seemed to increase with
time. For the next ninety days,
however, he will be forced to in
timately associate with his old
time enemy, and it may be that
after his release from prison his
enmity will not be so great.

Again l looked at Waite, trying
to make this judgment coincide
with what | saw before me, fol-
not a hint of this was shown in
his countenance or bearing.
When jurymen were sc.
lected, Waite rose to his feet
jauntily, buttOned his dOu-
ble-breasted coat as though
it were an instructive action
with him, and with his arms
behind him looked straight
into the jurymen's eyes, as
requested by the judge,
seemingly with no more
feeling or nervous reaction
than would a dog expecting
a pat on the back.
Waite's brown eyes are rather
small, his brown hair grows
back from his forehead, which
one would say was intellectual
and his cheeks are lean.
The only weak thing about his
face that l could find, and l have
studied him closely, is his under
lip which turns out and over like
a child's.
His upper lip he never moves
as he speaks. 1t is drawn tight
ly over his teeth.
1t is one of the greatest char
acteristics in his face of lack OF
soul.
Can he love?
Yes, as animals love and leave
to starve and die or torture and
kill when they tire of the chase
He showed physical fear, as
time and again he looked up al
the face of Justice Shearn behind
the judges bench.

Do You Know the Real
Value of Your Money?

fed States money I received $1,000
In Colombian money!
In all the South American coun-
tries the dollar Cor peso as 1t is
called) Is different in value from
ours.
The dollar of Uruguay is worth
"A cents in our money, and the
Brazilian dollar normally worth
33 cents of our money is now
worth only 2 7cents.
In 1898 the Colombian dollar
was worth 30 cents; but the next
year bad revolution broke out
and the government began print
ing money in large quantities.
Gradually the value of each
dollar declined until exchange
finally reached $4,000. per cent,
and a dollar was worth only one
quarter of one cent!
Since then conditions have i'm
proved.
A legal rate OF exchange has
now been established at 10000
and a great quantity of this
cheap money has been destroyed.
This story of Colombian money
Is especially interesting Just now
on account of what the nations Of
Europe are doing. They are now
putting out new paper money with
which to pay the soldiers. But do
they. by doing this, help things?
No! The more money they is
sue, the less valuable is the rest
of the money, and the more money
1t takes to buy food and cloth
ing.
II Is impossible to make some
thing out of nothing!
Nations and individuals can
prosper In the long run only by
producing more and wasting less!
When people try to get more
money by issuing more bills or
even by increasing wages through
labor unions, they simply increase
prices accordingly.
