Why Some Merchants Lose Farm
er'S Business.

When a merchant does little or
no advertising, he should have
no complaint to make when peo-
pie of the town and county who
might be his customers, order
goods from a distant city. And
they have a good defense for
doing so, an illustration of which
is shown in the following extract
from a recent issue of the
Natchez Democrat:
Recently a merchant of Nat
chez happened to see a farmer
receive a box at the depot and
noticed that it was from a mail
order house. He also noticed
that the goods were right in his
line and the same as he carried
for years. He Immediately ap-
preached the farmer and said
Il could have sold you the
goods you have here for less
money than the Chicago house
and saved you the freight.
"Then why did't you do so %
said the farmer. Il have taken
the local paper for year. and
have not seen a line about your
selling these or any other goods.
This mail order house sends adj
vertising matter to me asking for
my trade, and it gets it. If you
have any bargains, why didn't
you put them in the paper so we
can see what they are %

Prepare for a Rainy Day.

When the pale rays Of the har-
vest moon look down like mist
of silver over the ungarnered
crops we are reminded of the full
fruition of Natures promise.
We see spread out before US in
golden plenty the results of the
spring and summer work.
In the early days of April the
farmer begins to prepare for the
days of winter.
There is lesson in this that
we might all take to heart. We
should begin at once, if we have
not done so already, to prepare
for rainy day.
Discreet parents will teach
their children to prepare for the
future.
The art of saving is a gift.
Sometimes it is born in man,
but more often it is acquired
and acquired after most strenu-
GUS effort.
A nickel burns in a small boys
pocket until it is disposed of.
The desire to spend is natural
with most of us. 1t is all right
to keep money in circulation.
To spend money affords pleasure
to every one, but at the same
time it is not wise to spend all
that we make, but to put aside
each week something for rainy
day, for none of us can tell what
the future will bring forth.
An interesting side light on the
problem of saving out of a small
income is afforded by the case of
New York couple. The wife
died the other day, and to the
surprise of her husband, a sim
pie carpenter by trade, she left
him several thousand dollars,
the exis .ence Of which he had no
idea nor even suspected. The
money represented the accumu-
lated total of small sums sur
reptitiously put aside by the wife
during their welded life.
Here is an example Of thrift.
The income of the couple was un-
doubtedly small and the husband
usually turned over his weekly
salary to his wife. They lived
comfortably and enjoyed most of
the simple pleasures of life.

Tick Law Must Be Obeyed.

The injunction proceedings
against w. A. Anderson ct AL,
of North Rankin, heard at the
September term of the chancery
court, resulted in a permanent
injunction restraining such par
ties from allowing their cattle to
run at large, be driven upon or
across the public roads unless
they are dipped on regular dip
ping days, under the supervision
of the county Inspector. and a
permit is received from an in
spector granting removal from
any area quarantined by a duly
authorized inspector. It was
further noted that the judge
made it very plain that the law,
rules and regulations of the Live
Stock Sanitary Board, governing
tick eradication must be obeyed,
and should any further disobey-
ance be reported by a duly au-
thorized inspector against them,
they would be summoned before
a special term of court and sum-
marily dealt with for contempt
of court. 1t was further made
plain by the judge that unless
the laws, rules and regulations
of the State Live Stock Sanitary
Board governing tick eradication
were upheld and obeyed by the
stock owners and dealers. the
federal government would un-
doubtedly place Rankin county
again under federal quarantine,
working a hardship and heavy
loss upon the people. for there
will be no market for our cattle,
except to specific centers for i'm
mediate slaughter, amounting to
about $500 loss per car.

and unafraid that his children

and unafraid that his children

We don't propose to discuss
the merits or dement's of the
crime here. On it's face it seems
brutal, almost beyond realization.
Rodgers at the city Jail seemed
dazed, a physician said he was
doped and it is said he drank a
bottle of Peruna which caused
his Temporary ALTERATION.
We know nothing of that, he
may be insane and irresponsible
or he may be feigning- those
things are for the courts to dis
cuss and determine and we would
not say one word here to preju-
dice this unfortunate man in the
eyes of a jury.
Did we say unfortunate, yes
that's what we mean.
Whether base murderer or
hopeless imbecile we doubt if
man can punish Joe Rogers as
much as he has been and must
be punished before deaths kind
ly hand shall intervene.
After he had killed his wife

in her face.
Looked into the fast dimming
eyes of the wife of his bosom.
saw her faint struggles as the
spirit passed into the Unknown
and Unknowable, saw ner well
tering in her life's blood, her
breast a moment before so warm
and white, fast turning stony
cold.
What thoughts came to him as
he looked ?
AS he reflected that he in his
passion had not needed her
shrieks for pity, but had fired
the fatal shots that had deprived
her of her life.
What thoughts must have
swept his mind as his little girl
upbraided him. "You have killed
my mamma !"
Great Godl how could he ans
wer his Maker calling for Cain.
Rather than flee before the
scourge of an angered and
evenging God throughout the
rest of his life's journey, Rodg-
ers would have done we'll to have
hanged a stone about his neck
and sought concealment even IN
death in the dark and turbid
waters of the Pearl that no man
might know his grave or his chill
dren point to a dishOnored tomb.
Rodgers deed was awful, but
his punishment will be worse.
Even if he is crazy and spends
his life in an asylum there will
come lucid moments when he
will remember the home that
once was his; remember that
bloody scene when his mind
awoke to the realization of his
fiendish work and the dying gasp
of the woman he killed must ever
ring in his ears-ever must he
hear her agonized voice Shrek
ing for mercy.
He will know that the children,
the flesh of his flesh and bone of
his bone, born of this woman
cannot feel for him anything but
scorn, possibly pity, but
"Pity, pity scorned of devils,
This is truth, the poet sings,
That sorrows browning sorrows
Is in remembering happier things"
The woman who sleeps in Cedar
Lawn is infinitely better off than
the poor wretch in Jail. For him
the easiest fate that can come is
death.
AS much as we condemn the
crime he has committed, we can
not help but feel a certain sor-
row for this weak, Misguided
human. Monday Morning Lead

Willard Carpenter Fight,
By the International View. Service.

(By the International News serviee.)
New York, Dec. miss Anne Morgan
and numerous other prominent and
wealthy women OF America are said to
be actively interested in the project to
bring Georges Carpenter, ring champion
of France, to this country. He will fight
Jess Willard for the heavyweight cham
pionship.
The interest of the social leaders lies
chiefly in the fact that a large part OF
Carpenters share of the purse is to be
donated to the French war charities. A
story from Chicago tonight has Miss Nor
gan herself figuring in an actual con-
tract with the French government for
Carpenters services.
Carpenter. fistic pride OF the French
republic. and idol Of the Partisan boule-
wards, is now serving his country in the
big war. He enlisted at the outbreak
Of the war as an ambulance driver. He
is now attached to the aviation corps.
At the present time he is on a three
months furlough. 1t will be necessary
to get the consent of the French govern
ment for him to leave the country for any
purpose. and according to the Chicag
story. Miss Morgan has closed a contract
with the government under which she is
TO put up a bond of $4,000 to guarantee
Carpenters return to France.

CBy the International News servIee.)
St Joseph, Mo. Dec. 5.-Arthur Nc
Daniel, prosecutor of buchanan County,
tonight was acquitted of the murder of
his wife by a jury after celebrating one
hour and fifteen minutes.
Mcdaniel was charged with having
murdered his wife, Harriet Moss Nc
Daniel. an the night of July IA.
Because Of the prominence Of Mcdaniel
and his previous record as a fearless
prosecutor. the case attracted widespread
attention.
Another almost unprecedented feature
OF the case Is the fact that Mcdaniel.
while still under Indictment for murder
by a grand jury, was a candidate for
reelection to the office of prosecuting
attorney for Buchanan County. and after
a strenuous campaign was defeated at
the polls on November z.
At 1s:20 O'Clock on the morning of July
Is, Mcdaniel telephoned the police Of
st. Joseph that his wife had been terribly
beaten In their home at 1906 South
Twentieth street, st. Joseph. He said
he had found her moaning and uncon-
scious on the floor of her bedroom, with
a deep cash in her head
The coroner's autopsy later found the
wound was inches long and had been
inflicted by a blunt instrument.
Mrs Mcdaniel. accompanied by her
husband, was taken to the Ellsworth Hos
pital, where she died.

Further sensational demonstrations will

While President Wilson was addressing

Few IL any of the Senators and Congress-
men were aware that anything not on
the program had occurred, and attend
ants on the floor of the House quickly
pulled the banner down almost as soon
as it appeared.
What the next step on the part of suf-
it is intimated that yesterdays incident
is but the first of a series of militant
tactics to bring attention in a graphic
manner to the cause for which the Con-
gressional Union Is working.
