CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION A
STRONG EDUCATIONAL FACTOR

One of the strongest drawing cards
for any large exposition is always its
educational possibilities. With the
Mississippi Centennial these POSSIBLE
tiles have doubled in value since it is
the means by which Mississippians
will be placed for the first time in full
touch with the limitless promises of
their own State, while outsiders will
stand amazed as at sight of a new
world.
Here in every department will be
found the highest perfection yet at
tanned in Observation-Disclosures, me-
chanical, artistic, domestic, ingenui-
ties, stock, poultry, everything worth
while. The best manufacturers, from
all the world over will bring their fin
est products here to be admired and
emulated.
For the young people and many OF
the old there will be a liberal educa-
ton in the sight of countless things
before undreamed Of. Electrical and
mechanical c~ontrivances and new farm
implements will be inspiration for
newer and better inventions.

plant in the State is kept running full

Among the many agencies actively
engaged in this campaign of live stock
education, and by far n of the most
potent factors, has been an intelligent
and energetic citizenship which has
eagerly seized upon and made the
most of it's opportunities. A lions
share of the credit for the remarkable
forwardness shown in such lines must
truthfully be accorded to the various
State and county fairs which have been
held throughout the State. With po-
tential aim they have brought all the

them up in full force where the wise

and where even the lightest skeptic

The winning OF a championship for
Mississippi is matter of pride for all
Mississippians and there are probably
few persons within the border of our
State who were not proud to know
that the grand champion Here
ford bull, which was the marvel of
the international Live Stock Show
held at Chicago in 1913, was a Missis-
sippi product.
The bull Point Comfort the Four
teenth, was raised in Kinds County,
Mississippi, belonging to LaVernett
Stock Farm, and is a living example
of what might be done in every coun-
ty in the State by scientific breeding.
This animal at the great International
Show came in competition with the
very best specimens of beef stock
from all sections of the New World.
He was a distinct surprise to the
Northern exhibitors by whom Missis-
sippi had never been looked to for pos
sible competition, but after the judges
had carefully examined the merits of
each animal there was nothing left for
them to do but award the champion
ship Of the Western Hemisphere to
Point Comfort" who wore his blue
ribbon with prideful mien as though
aware Of the fact that he was adding
unguessed laurels to his native State.
Gained with this championship was
official recognition of the fact that
Mississippi and the South a produce
the best beef animals to be found in
the world, despite a mistaken impress
sion long existant and widely spread.
that their country is not adapted to
the production of the heavy beef
breeds. This award, heralded to all
parts of the earth by the wide-awake
press, has been worth millions of DOB
lars to the people of the South by way
OF exploding a false impression and
exploiting one of the most profitable
resources of this section. BY it the at
tention of live stock men everywhere
has been called to the fact that Mis-
sissippi offers unequaled advantages
for the production of the very best
stock.
An unawakening also to our own
people, many of whom thus became
alive for the first time to the undis-
cry advantage for the development of
the live stock industry along broad
and liberal lines, and that a sensible
diversification of our products will
necessarily be based upon live stock
as a foundation. What nj man had
done may well be done by others who
possess sufficient initiative to seize
their opportunity. While every man
might not be able to produce a grand
champion, certain it is that the small
est farmer may grow as good a beef
animal as the world produces and
may command as high a price for this
product as if it had been raised on a
ten thousand acre ranch.
A campaign which has been per-
sistently and consistently carried on
throughout this State during the past
ten years has resulted not only in
many Mississippi winners being shown
in the prize ring, but has developed
at a wonderful rate the industry of
helping to furnish animal food to
supply the teeming millions of human
beings throughout the world. Where
but a few years ago only an occasion
al car of live stock was shipped from
this State, it is a noteworthy fact that
several train loads of cattle and hogs
are now sem to outside markets each
week, while the one large packing

England is Anxious.

London, Feb. 26, 1;52 D. m.-Ihe only word concerning the German claim to takirb the armored fortress or Douaumont, outside of Verd jn, comes through German sources Fur ther information is awaited anxiousiy, owing to the recognized strategic i'm Rortance of this fort, which is the base of solid field works on a line of hills, 1000 feet high, about six miles northeast of Verdun.
 The last detailed information show ed the French holding lines two and one-haf miles beyond Douaumont, with this powerful fortress and it's field works giving steady support.
 The Pall Mall Gazette says the French are sustaining an assault equalling in intensity the hottest e1l- agreements of the entire war.
 The Westminster Gazette expresses confidence that the main fortress is impregnable. It predicts that the principal result of the German attack will be tremendous losses which will cripple the effectiveness of the Ger mans in subsequent operations.

Some Would Prefer Breach.

Amsterdam, Holland, Feb. 26, via London, 3:32 D. m.-The Frankfurter Zeitung publishes an interview on submarine warfare credited to a high naval official whose views, in sub stance, follow:
 "A majority of German naval off cerS believe that a complete breach between Germany and America would
 be conducive to a far earlier victor lous termination of the war but only if Germany derived all the results logically arising out of such a breach. As soon as Germany was in such a position that she need have no more consideration for America she could declare all Great Britain blockaded and announce that every ship of what ever flag, which attempted to enter British port, would be rega rded as a blockade runner and destroyed with out warning.
 This policy would lead to the star Vation of Britain, and thus to her submission, and then automa matically the submission of Russia and France. America would then be isolated and would have to submit because Cor many, having obtained all the en- tente battleShiDS and submarines, would be far stronger on the sea than America.
 America when defeated would have to surrender all German mer- chant ships which she had seized and also pay all war costs of the Central Powers and their allies"
