Shaw Gives Address

"When good men and great par
ties, for political expediency refuse
to commit themselves to great cause
vital to the happiness and success OF
the people, they should be set aside, -
declared William Shaw, prohibition

chusetts in 1915, in an address this
morning at the convention.

co. Il INSPECTION. CAPTAIN
STORM WILL ENFORCE LAW

Capt. ]. L. Storm, OF Co. II,
Brookhaven's state military organ
ization, has received notice from
Adiutant General Eric c. Scales
that the annual federal army in
spection and muster of the COM
pany will take place March Oath at
the company's armory here.
The state militia organizations
are now very strict, being under
the provisions of Section IA of the
act passed by congress a few years
back, attendance being compul-
sorry, and report of the companies
visited by the inspection officer is
on the number of men present at
such inspection, rather than on the
reported strength of any organiza
ton.
Capt. Storm has given notice
that he will enforce the section OF
the Mississippi code with reference
to failure to attend the inspection
and medical examination which is
also held on the same date, this
section providing a fine of not less
than SIS and Imprisonment for not
more than ten days on conviction
of such offense, several members
of the Brookhaven company in the
past having had to pay the penalty
for their failure to obey orders.

VARDAMAN ASSERTS
COUNTRY PREPARED
Rebukes Other Senators, Saying Il
Had Only 10000 Men in Army
for War Of 1S47.

Washington, March 13.-Sena-
tors who today asserted that the
United States is so unprepared as
to be in no position to attempt an
invasion of Mexico, drew rebuke
from Senator Vardaman, of Missis-
sippi, who accused them of mis-
representing facts in order to stim-
ulate preparedness agitation. He
called attention to the fact that the
United States went to. war with
| Mexico in 1847, when its regular
army numbered only 10000 men.
At that time, he said, Mexico was
united and was enjoying an era of
great prosperity. Now, the Unit
ed States has a standing army of
los, 900 men, while Mexico has al
most bled to death during five
years of civil strife and moreover
is divided into factions, some of
which are certain to approve the
present course of the United States.
Carrying his point further, Sen
ator Vardaman quoted War De-
partment figures, showing that the
regular army of the United States
at the outbreak of the Civil war
numbered $1,000 men. When war
was declared against Spain, the
standing army numbered Is, 900.
The navy at that time was weaker,
by half, than it is at present.
Speaking of present preparedness,
Senator Vardaman declared that in
addition to the los, COO men in the
standing army, there are 13O, 600
young men who can shoot and ride
and who are not bad soldiers at
this very minute. They can be
made into the finished product
easily and quickly. He contended
that there are $4,000 veterans OF
the Spanish American war, who
would respond to the call for
troops.
Senator Vardaman disparaged
such statements as were made on
the floor of the Senate indicating
that the United States is impotent
even in the face of an enemy no
stronger than is Mexico and assert
ed that Spain had been enticed into
war with the United States by be-
lieving just such statements pre-
vious to the declaration of that
War.
1t is Senator Vardaman's belief
that military strength of the Unit
ed States lies in the loyalty of
their private citizens, who on the.
slightest need would be willing
to undertake strenuous training
and soon would be able to fight as
skilfully as the regular soldier.

THE INCIDENT At RUTH.

To DR.. o. &c. Brewer, of the
Ruth neighborhood, The Leader
is indebted for a pleasant call on
yesterday. DIR. Brewer is one of
the representative citizens of the
county, jealous of the reputation
of our people as a whole as well as
individually.
He took pleasure in stating that
there was not a yestige of truth in
the insinuation made by a reporter
to The Leader that an estimable
and honorable young man of Ruth
was involved in the recent attempt
robbery Of the Clark Bros. store.
After the evidence given by more
than one of the residents of Ruth
The Leader is convinced that the
statement was erroneous; and the
paper is as ready to say this as its
informant, who is not a resident Of
Ruth, would be, did he know the
facts that have developed through
the incident referred to and the arti-

ALL WILL HAVE TO DIP.
House Votes to Make Dipping Com
pulsory in Order to Aid Tick
determination.

Jackson, Miss. by vote OF 63
to 26 the house of representatives,
just before adjournment yesterday
afternoon, passed the compulsory
cattle dipping bill in the interest
of tick eradication in Mississippi
which, its friends claim, will do
more to help the cattle industry In
the state than any legislation ever
enacted in this state.
The bill was considered for
about an hour, during which
strong opposition was shown by
several members, especially Repre-
sentative Mann, of Tishomingo,
county, who said that his people
did not want the law.
Mr.. Weems, of Scott county,
spoke in favor of the bill, declar-
ing that in the adjoining county
of Smith people refused to dip
their cattle, while in Scott county
the cattle raisers favored the law,
and dipped, but their work was in
terfered with by reason of the fact
that ticks from Smith county drift
ed into Scott, hence it was hard to
keep the cattle clear of the pests.
Messrs. Cotton and Holton favor
ed the measure, which will go into
effect on the first of next January
if it passes the senate and is sign
ed by the governor.
The bill will take the place of
the law now giving the various
counties privileges of voting as to
whether or not they will enforce
cattle dipping laws. This meas
ure will take the place of that now
making dipping optional with the
counties.
The measure provides that the
State Live Stock Sanitary board ap-
point an agent in each county
with power to appoint assistants,
to carry out tick eradication work.
Mr.. Holton succeeded in having an
amendment adopted providing that
the inspectors be paid out of the
state treasury. The bill makes 1t
compulsory for owners of cattle to
have them dipped at the demand
of the inspectors, the counties to
provide the dipping vats and chem
icals.

SUGGESTIONS ON SAFE FARMING.
The South is Primarily a Cotton COun-
try, and Cotton the Money Crop
Other Matters.

First-Produce a home garden
for every family on the farm, and
can sufficient of the surplus vege-
tables, that cannot be raised in the
winter for your and their family
use. Sell your surplus canned
stuff to your neighbors, who appre-
ciate quality. You cannot expect
to compete in the open market
with the large canneries. Let
each family produce sufficient Irish
and Sweet Potatoes, as well as Mo-
lasses.
Second-Produce corn necessary
to support all of the people on
your place.. and the livestock.
Make sure of your corn supply by
planting oats. After oats are cut
a crop of something else can be
produced. Contrary to past belief
wheat planted in the, South yields
and grinds as well as that OF other
sections. Try an acre for your
own use.
Third-produce hay and forage
sufficient to supply all of the live
stock on the farm. Use legumes
as clover, cowpeas, velvet beans,
soy beans and alfalfa where prac-
tical, as they enrich and build up
the soil with nitrogen and humus.
Remember, too, that naturally
strong or built up lands respond
better to Commercial Fertilizers
than poor lands do, prairie lands
excepted. Keep your lands built
up by use of Commercial Fertiliz-
ers to raise the crops with.
Fourth-Produce the meat nee
essary to supply your people.
Make your waste lands productive
by gradually building up your herd
and breed of cattle. 1t is cheaper
to raise a good bred animal than a
scrub, and if you haven't a high
grade male, there is doubtless one
in your neighborhood. If not, get
together with your neighbors and
buy one, and locate him convent
ent to all. Every family should
raise poultry. Cotton Seed Meal
with other feeds is the finest and
cheapest of all known feeds for
hogs, cattle, horses, mules and
poultry. Cotton seed meal, cotton
seed hulls, silage and native hays
cannot be surpassed as balanced
ration for cattle. Formulas can be
obtained from A. & NJ. College,
Agricultural College, Miss, or
from the Secretary of the Associa-
tion.
Fifth-Gradually build up to in
tensive farming. It is cheaper to
produce same amount of stuff on
ten acres than it is on twenty.
This can be done by putting humus
| in the ground, proper preparation
of the land, proper cultivation, use
Of Commercial Fertilizers, and con-
stant work.
