Mccandless Regulars, off
for St. Louis Ready for
a Fight

l. L. McCandless, head of the Nc

Jarrett was asked for a comment on
the forthcoming fight, but said only
that he has been rightfully elected as
committeeman to succeed Johnny
Wilson and will make a hard contest
before the national committee or the
convention itself.

MORALS OF THE MILITIA,

Whenever large bodies of men congregate
immortality is supposed to flourish. We say sup
posed to flourish" because the double standard has
apparently led the public to an acceptance of the
vices of men.
The editor Of a church paper has investi-
gated conditions among our militiamen on the
border. He discovered that when the soldiers
were ordered to Mexico all forms of evil proceed
ed to camp on their trail. Chief among them
were saloons and houses of prostitution, which
presumed that men away from home must degen-
crate and it must be admitted that in some in
stances they we're right.
In places these agencies have had a measure of
success, but some of the commanders have for
hidden the use of liquor or the patronizing of i'm
moral resorts. The best Of it is that the men
obeyed the orders, for the most part, because
they played the game like soldiers and ''orders is
orders"
Order and health has improved in the camps
in which the orders went into effect and the OBJ
~servation is made that where soldiers are kept
away from liquor and bad women they live heal
thy and clean lives" This much is a victory
greater than the capture of Villa. The winners of
future battles will be sober men and clean.

MORE THAN MURDER.

When a man walks up to a man on the street
and shoots him down in cold blood he is charged
with murder in the first degree and upon convic
ton is hung. If a man is hung for killing
man, what ought to be done to a person, either
man or woman, who wilfully kills an innocent,
helpless infant?
Death is too good for a person who could stoop
to such a crime whether that person be white
or black, man or woman.
The body of a white babe was found yesterday
afternoon under the bridge across the bayou in
the eastern part of the city. The body was that
of a white child, and evidently had been allowed
to live for only a few hours. The body was
thrown, apparently while the little one was alive,
from the bridge. Instead of falling into the wat
er, where it was intended to fall, the body struck
in the mud on the bank close to the water.
The person who threw the body over the
bridge committed more than murder. The wom-
an who gave birth to the child and permitted it
to be killed is more than a murderer. Every one
connected with the crime in any capacity what
soevers should be run to earth and dealt with
to the full extent of the law.
Every human being in Greenwood should make
it their business to see that the perpetrators
Of this crime come to justice. Every man wonl-
an and child in Greenwood should feel that such
a crime committed in their midst reflects dishonor
not only upon the town but upon them as well,
and help locate and punish those guilty.

POULTRY PROFITS

Many Mississippi farm women are
making their household expenses and
adding to the farm income by giving
attention to marketing their poultry
products. What is being done by
some of the members of the Coop
erative' egg and poultry associations
maintained at the Mississippi A. and
M. College by the farmers of the
community a be duplicated any
where in the state. E. P. Clayton
head of the poultry department and
secretary Of the association, gives the
following figures from the record of
Mrs. j. P. Castles president of the as
ISOLATION.
During eight months ending Sept.
l Mrs. Castles sold $122.01 worth Of
eggs at market price from 80 hens,
and during the same time sold breed
ing stock to the value of $19.65 and
breeding eggs to the value Of $76.66,
making a total gross income Of $685.

home grown feed, as this was more

In this same period Miss Eudora
Carpenter, another member Of the as
ISOLATION, made a net profit of $155.o5
from 65 hens, cost of feed and labor
considered. In both cases the feed
used was corn, wheat, cottonseed meal
and oates, 'supplanted by green feeds
and skimmilk. Wheat bran, corn meal
and cottonseed meal were fed in the

of each. No account was taken in Ell

BACK TO hi FARM.

It is gratifying to learn from real estate mer
in different sections of the country that there
is at last a pronounced movement back to the
farm" They report large numbers of city mer
of moderate means purchasing farms and moving
their families to them to escape the burdens OF
the present high cost of living.
This is commendable and all right as far as
it goes, but the movement is not general enough.
And then it is not owners that are needed on the
farms, but workers.
For several decades past now there has been a
rapid exodus from the farm, until in many Sec
tons of the country it is almost impossible to
secure farm help at any price. This has had the
inevitable result of curtailing the output of the
farms, high prices naturally resulting.
VIZ have seen a table of statistics of the per
cent. of urban population as compared to rural, at
the present time and fifty years ago. It showed
startling growth of the cities and towns, with
not nearly an equal growth of rural population.
But, you say, those workers who have de-
serted the farms for the city are engaged in man.
ufactures. Why, then, are not manufactured
articles cheaper in price instead of being up along
side of food stuffs?
The answer is simple, and will have to be TAX
en- into consideration in any scheme to lessen the
cost of living. The farm is the barometer of the
national life. Touch the farm and you touch the
national pulse. 1t matters very little the scar
city or plenty manufactured products, if the farm
is over productive the prices fall; if the farm
fails, all prices rise in sympathy.
We know this is not all acceptable to the
politician, who would have US believe that party
nolicies are raSnOnsihle-al1 of which is the veripat
rot, as the American people are fast finding out.
When we as a people attack the farm problem
in a sensible way; when we devise some plan to
restore the farms of this country the valuable
human Drawn that they have lost-then and not
till then will we be in the way of reducing the cost
of living again to the normal.
Perhaps the movement reported is the begin
ming, and indicates that the pendulum is at last
started on its backward swing. Let us devoutly
hope that such is the case.

PRINT PAPER

Print paper is a thin frail sub.
stance or which newspapers are
printed when they car get it. 1t useo
to be as common an article as the
celluloid collar, but it is now harder
to obtain than the non-stuttering
spark plug.
Print paper is made in this coun.
try with aid of the German empire,
which furnices several important in
gradients for which there is no sub
stitute except raising the subscrip-
ton price of swallowing some strugg-
ling competitor. This has caused a
shortage in the visible supply of print
paper which is causing thousands of
harassed publishers to figure on
opening a truck garden or learning
the horseshoeing trade.
The scarcity of print paper, how
ever is having some beneficial ef-
fects. There will not be so many new
papers established with a sockful of
type and the aid Of the local can
didate for congress. Any mar who
figures on putting q third paper in
. town just large enough for a four
page weekly with a generous collec-
ton of patent insides should take a
look at the print paper market and
then subside in q noisless and
thorough manner. If the paper
shortage doesn't lengthen out within
the next six months, the crop of
jackleg lawyers, hopeful school teach
ers and reform clergymen who desire
to perch upon the editorial tripod,
will be harder to find than a bone
collar button in a feather bed.
If as . result Of the paper famine
some publications which have been
threatening to do 50 for several years
would pass peacefully away, after try
ing to fill a hole in the community
with a total vacuum, there would be
more contented readers and satisfied
advertisers. With a ton of print pa
per worth more than q cluster of
.corn-fed steers, the newspapers best
friend will be the old subscriber
who pays in advance with a smile and
declares It ID worth the money. The
old subscriber will not kick if the
paper IL short . page or two, but will
be thankful to get the news in tab
loid form, II necessary. Hence, we
say, God bless the old subscriber and
al Of his family, yea, down to the
fourth generation Of those that come
after.-By Howard L. Ram. ,
