BETTER DAIRYING-BETTER BARNS.

Dairying in Mississippi is making a wonder
full growth. Thirteen successful creameries are
in operation and others will soon be constructed.
When near markets the whole milk business is
proving profitable. Farms distant from cream
cries or whole milk markets are finding ready
sale for high quality butter.
Where boil weevil has made cotton hazard.
GUS enterprise, the dairy offers a sure and con.
slant income. Some farmers who are running
small diaries as side lines to their regular farm
ing find themselves on a cash basis, the dairying
taking care Of running expenses, leaving the in
come from crops to be used for permanent i'm
provements and ~luxuries. The future for the
dairyman is bright.
To put Mississippi in it's right place in this
business, however, it must be we'll planned and
on a firm basis. To properly conduct a dairy
business better barns are necessary than for or.
binary live stock. Not necessarily expensive
barns, but barns arranged for light, ventilation
and sanitation.
The people who buy dairy products are de-
manding that the milk and butter come for clean,
sanitary barns and healthy COWS. In order that
every Mississippi farmer can get the latest in
formation on barn construction, L. A. Higgins
and Daniel Scoates, of the Mississippi A. & M.
College, have just published a bulletin on this
subject. While the supply lasts this bulletin will
be sent free to any resident of Mississippi who
will write to E. R. Lloyd, Director of Extension,
Agricultural College, Miss.

RELIEF FOR THE SUFFERING ARMENlANs
AND SYRlAhS.

Saturday and Sunday next az to De two days
set ap.ft as relief days for Armenian aud Syrian
sufferers because of the European war. Frocla-
nations by executives OF nation and states to this
effect have been issued.
The members of both races on this side OF the
Atlantic will respond nobly to the cause. Many
Armanians have already announced that they Will
20 without food for wv days in order to devote
their savings from this denial to their suffering
kinsmen. Syrians likewise have proven no less
self-sacrifcing in the work.
It seems to US that Americans should be i'm
pressed by such self-sacrifce as Armenians and
Syrians are making to the cause of so worthy a
relief campaign, and themselves make liberal con-
tributions to aid in relieving suffering among the
two races.
There are members Of both the Armenian and
Syrian races living in Greenwood. They have
proven themselves to be good citizens; they have
frequently responded to calls for aid for needy
causes when appealed to. 1t would, therefore, be
a nice thing now by those not members Of either
race to show appreciation and to reciprocate by
contributing to the relief fund being raised for
their kinsmen across the Atlantic who are, per-
haps, more greatly oppressed than any other peo-
pie, not participating therein, suffering from eff
fects Of the war.
Let us not forget that one good turn deserves
another and show that We have not forgotten it
by being as liberal as possible to aid the Armeni-
ans and Syrians in their distress.

WOMEN GAMBLER PUZZLE NEW
YORK POLICE.

New York, Oct. 2O.-(By Union AS
sociated Press.)-The New York po-
lice are today facing one of the most
delicate gambling problems in their
history, all due to the fact that they
are pitted against women in their ef-
forts to crush out the vice. A highly
successful gambling scheme has lately
become prevalent in the h~igh-class
apartment houses in the uptown dis
tricts. The proprietor of each is a wo-
man and the players are for the most
part respectable married women, with
homes and families. The process is
for some quiet-looking woman to- take
an apartment and furnish it in the
best home, sweet home stlye. Ac-
quaintance is made with the women Of
the neighborhood, They are invited
in for luncheon and a little bridge.
Before the visitors realize what has
happened, the game. is running full
blast. Each Of the players is obliged
to "feed the kitty" That is where the
hostess gets her rake-off. Refresh
ments follow. One of two things
eventually happens. The gambling
wife gets in so deep that she pawns
everything, her perfidy is discovered
by the husband, and there is a grand
blow-up, or some afternoon a patrol
wagon backs up to the door and the

HE DOESN'T PAY HIS DEBTS.

Sometimes men, through no fault of their own,
cannot meet their obligations. Sometimes through
illness or catastrophes careful business men and
their calculations all 60 awry and the obligations
they had hoped to meet without trouble cannot
be met at all when due. But, the man who makes
obligations simply because he can secure credit
and without a serious thought as to how the obi
CATION is to be discharged, or the man who could,
by proper effort pay his debts, and just won't,
Walt Mason's poetry should impress, because it
strikes them right between the eye when it says:
what sort of man is Henry Hank" I asked
the cashier at the bank; he sighed as with re-
grets, and sadly shook his weary head, and swat
ted seven flies and said: "He doesn't pay his
debts" Thus finally the cashier spake no expla-
nation did he make-there was no more to say no
Use arguing about-for that announcement let
Hank out, the man who doesn't pay. A mans
forgiven many things, as through this busy life
lie swings, and sWears and sWats and sWeats; a
thousand faults we lightly scan, but there's no
oardon for the man who doesn't pay his debts.
If | had seven silly sons, I'd hand them counsel
;ons on tons to help them on their way; the bur-
len of my spiel would be: my batty boys, on
and or sea, be prompt your bills to pay. You may
nave stacks Of sterling worth and seem too good
or this cheap earth, but if you dodge your bills,
the world will strike your balance sheet, and set
you down as chronic beats, which reputation kills.
60 forth my beamish boys, I'd say, "and always
be as prompt to pay, as you are prompt to buy;
and you will flourish then and thrive, and men
will boost you while alive and praise you when
you die"

TO AID WOUNDED SOLDIERS.

Toxic, Oct. 5.-(Cor. The. Associat-
ed Press. )-Empress Sadako has de-
cided to supply artificial limbs and
eyes to the Japanese and Germans
who were wounded in the campaign
at Kiao-Chow.
The estate belonging to the Imperi-
al Hou1 ehold is estimated to reach
about 500 1000, 600 yen or $250,O00, 900.
Besides railway and bank securities
and various public bonds and deben-
lures held by the household, which are
valued approximately 1870, 000, 900 yen
or 500, 000, 900, the imperial holdings
include extensive forests and rice
lands in addition to the land of the
Imperial palace grounds and the I'm
perial detached palaces and villas.
The value of the Imperial property is
reported to be increasing at the rate
of twenty per cent per annum.
The money disbursed from the privy
purse is said to reach an enormous
figure. The most serious demands are
due to the various court ceremonies
and functions Of state, the mainten-
ance of intercourse with the Imperial
households or rulers of the friendly

Agricultural extension workers suggest that
you spend a day with a sack in your corn field
