afternoon daily papers delivered
direct by the mail messengers to
the news stand.
The same rule will apply to
holidays, the first of which will
be MONDAY, September 4, which
will be Labor Day.
Do not forget the new rules.

to get your mail on Sundays and
holidays more than once, rent a
box.
Get the hours fixed in your
minds, so you will not be disap-
pointed.

Our Dollar Is Boss

Max Hoschiller, a financial
authority, in an article in the
Temps, declared that the Ameri-
can dollar is boss of the financial
world, and proceeds to prove it.
As an indication of how the
United States has pushed herself
to the front financially, the writer
says before the war the United
States was sending to Europe from
5000, ,O0O,OOO to 100000, 900
yearly in interest on it's borrow.
ings, $3.50, 900, 900 to 5000, 900, 900
spent by tourists, 800, 900, 600 to
$3.50, 100000 to expatriates and
$50, 100000 to S40,0OO,000 in
ocean freights.
Since the war, the United
States has imported s73O,OOo, 900
in gold and has paid back a con.
siderable amount of its previous
borrowings, increased its foreign
trade by 81, $50, 100000 yearly
and loaned to foreign countries
81, ,47o,0 900, so that the dollar
now has replaced to consider,
BILE extent the old sovereignty of
the English pound abroad.
Whether the United States will
retain, with her deficient tinan.
cial organization, the position re.
Gently won, will depend upon
American financial policies. The
arrival in France of an American
commercial mission is an indica
ton that Americans are realizing
they must follow the law in ex-
changes.
Nor is that all; the United
States has found out that many
things it once considered necessi
ties were only luxuries. and that
it was quite possible to get along
without them, 1t has also

Scarcity of Cotton Seed for
Planting Purposes

Good, early, planting cotton
seed promises to be scarce next
spring, especially in the large ter
ritory where the weevils got in
their worst work this season. The
mill price being high, and cotton
scarce, not enough seed is being
held in many localities to plant
the next crop, The Cleveland big
boil seed is especially going to be
in demand. This variety has
shown up we'll for several years
and this year has given especially
good results as cotton to plant
under boil weevil conditions. The
State Experiment Station places
it in the first rank as an early
variety. On Mississippi prison
farms it made larger yields than
any other variety this season. 1t
has shown up we'll among grow
ers in nearly every part of the
state. We would suggest that
all people having this variety
where it mas produced well, save
it carefully and if they will re-
port to us the quantity they have
we will be able to put them in
connection with those who wish
to buy. There are some inquiries
now, but there will be little trade
before the beginning of the year.
Some varieties, as Triumph, Mil
Ter Big Boil, and Cooks Improved
class up very well, and in view
of the promised scarcity we would
suggest saving some planting seed
from your crop regardless of name,
as they may be needed. F. Nc

Charging that "the outrageous
high price of 50, 900 for eight
acres of land on which to put the
Mississippi Centennial Exposition
at Gulfport smells loudly of
graft" the Kosciusko Herald
says: "It is time for someone con.
nected with the state government
to investigate these charges, or at
least to get an explanation of them
from those to whom was delegated
the authority to make the pur,
chase. At any rate the charge
has been made and goes unchal-
lenged, so far as we are informed,
and this fact Is liable to react up
on the Centennial Exposition.
State money should be judiciously
spent as individual money" The
Vicksburg Herald expressed a
somewhat similar view when what
seems an ''outrageously high
salary was voted the exposition
Director, in connection with an
alleged political dicker. Being
a paper in good political standing
with the Mississippi powers that
be, the Kosciusko Herald's kick
ought to attract attention, which
this paper did not.-Vicksburg
Herald.
