Timely Suggestions for
Preserving Highways.

With the coming of the winter
months when people will be trans
porting agricultural products to the
market, II is thought well that the
people in general be cautioned about
the weight of load that should be
hauled over macadam and gravel
roads in order that the roads may
not be badly damaged.
For wagons having tires 2 inches
and less in width not more than A.
900 pounds including weight of wag-
on should be hauled:
For wagon having tires 2 u inches
in width not more than 4,S0O pounds
including weight of wagon should be
hauled.
For wagons having tires inches
in width a load of 5000 pounds
may be hauled.
For wagons having 4 inch tires
1900 pounds may be hauled.
The following may be used to cal
culate the amount that should be
hauled on any wagon, cart, automo-
bile truck or any other vehicle. The
load should be so limited that the

bearing of the load on each wheel
including the weight of the vehicle
all of which is transmitted through
the axle, shall not exceed SOC
pounds per inch of tire for tires
inches in width or less and for tires
in excess of 2 inches in width the
limit shall not exceed 500 pounds
per inch width of tire for inches
of width plus 400 pounds for each
additional inch of width.
There is no penalty attached to
the weight of the load that may be
hauled over the roads, but people
should be public spirited enough not
to want to damage the roads and
should not haul more than the limit
when it is known fact that such
acton on their part is rapidly tear
ing up the roads
The various counties have gone to
considerable expense to put the
roads in proper condition for winter
traffic and all county authorities
will deeply appreciate cooperation
on the part of the public using the
roads.

COURTROOM IS SCENE
Of FATAL SHOOTING
Crazed Man, Armed With Four
RevoIvers and a Sword,
Wounds Three.

Hammond, Ind, Dec. GA crazy
! man, armed with four revolvers and
sword and his body padded with
steel plates, ran into the courtroom
of the Superior Court at Hammond
and shot three men, including the
Judge. One of the victims may die.
The mans name is Mike Ink, of
Whiting, a Polish laborer.
The victims:
Judge Charles Greenwald, wound
ed in the arm.
Lou DeBow, shot three times
through the body.
George Robinson, Juror, shot in
the face.
Ink was arrested. Chief of Po-
lice Peter Austen, of Hammond, ex-
planned that the man acted queerly
for some time.
There was little reason for the
shooting" said Chief Austen. "a
few years ago Ink was awarded ST.
500 in a personal injury suit against
the Standard Oil Company. He was
never satisfied with the amount, and
frequently came to Court and de-
manded a new trial.
To-day he ran shouting into the
courtroom brandishing his pistols
and yelling that he had been wrong
ed. He was seized, but before he
could be tied had fired his Shots"
All three men were rushed to the
hospital Doctors say DeBow may
die Of his wounds.

ARRANGE TO
ORGANIZE UN0ER
Requirements of the Farm Loan
Act to Secure Low Rates
and Other Benefits.

Chicago, Dec. 6.-Farmers were
urged to organize at once a National
Farm Loan Association by James b.
Norman, of the Federal Farm Loan
! Bureau, Washington, at a recent
session of the National Conference
en- Marketing and Farm Credits.
Mr.. Norman faced farm experts
who wanted to know how farmers
could get the greatest benefit from
the new farm loan act, designed to
furnish working capital at low inter-
est to actual farm settlers.
He explained that loans can be
made at first only through national
loan associations.
These associations may be form
cd by 10 men in any rural commun-
ity, who are farm owners, or about
to become farm owners" he said.
Replying to another question he
said:
THE farm loan association and
the Federal land banks which CO.
operate with them are run by farm
ers, and the dividends which may
arise from the borrowings of these
farmers all come back to them as
stockholders in the Federal land
bank through their associations. But
with Joint stock land banks. the div
idends go to the stockholders who
are not farmers but money lenders.
In the first case the banks are run
in the interest of borrowers; and in
the second case they are run in the
interest of lenders"
William r. Camp, superintendent
of Credit Unions and Rural Organi-
cations, Division of Markets, North
Carolina Agricultural Experiment
Station and Extension Service said
in part:
1.-THE organization of national
farm loan associations, authorized
by the Federal farm loan act, by the
division of markets and rural organ
izations, has been relatively much
faster than that of credit unions. As
soon as the Federal law was passed

Not Be Produced

time with ample room for the estao'
lishment Of other like enterprises.
Among the many agencies actively
engaged in this campaign of live stock
education, and by far one of the most
potent factors. has been an intelligent
and energetic citizenship which has
eagerly seized upon and made the
most of its opportunities. A lions
share Of the credit for the remarkable
forwardness shown In such lines must
truthfully be accorded to the various
State and cou lty fairs which have been
held throughout the State. With pc.
tential aim they have brought all the
States best possibilities and lined
them up in full force where the wise
man might see and grasp the benefits
and where even the lightest skeptic
must give way to the powerful argu-
ment of his own vision.
This campaign is only in its infancy.
There Is still much to be done. The
Mississippi Centennial Exposition Of
fers at the present time the best
means of continuing the work and
bringing it to the climax to be most de-
sired. Here the progress of the cen
fury can be shown and the doubter
given an inspiration that will urge him
to an effort to at least equal what has
been accomplished by his more enter
prlsing neighbor. Here in sight of the
very best is every department, where
merit meets with merit and excellence
is to be found on every side; the very
pride of statehood must fire q man to
competitive effort, and it does not
seem that in all Mississippi there
would be a man with soul SO close to
earth that he would not feel a sacred
daty TO give his own best effort TO
add fresh honors to this century-old
commonwealth which has crowned
with glory herself and him!
An invitation is cordially extended

unparalleled benefits that will come
