From the Yazoo City Sentinel.


Two OF the five thoroughbred bulls
donated by the Illinois Central Railway
to Yazoo county have already been re-
ceived, and the others are expected il
the next week or ten days.
The two which arrived Monday are
pure-bred Herefords. They have been
assigned to Beats One and Two, and
will be assigned to some one in each
beat to be selected by the Supervisors
of these beats, to care for these ami
mails, and see that they are given the
very best attention. Both the animals
were tested for tuberculosis and other
diseases before shipment, and were in
| the pink of condition when they reach
ed, and attracted good deal of atten-
ton.
Under the terms of the agreement be-
tween the railroad and the Commercial
Club, which organization has official
charge of the matter, the Commercial
Club agrees to care for the bulls, to
give them proper feed and shelter, to
keep them in good healthful condition,
and employ the services of competent
veterinarian, when necessary. 1t is also
agreed that an accurate record be kept
of date of service, breed of COW, pure
bred and registered, or grade, and make
semi-annual report of same.
The Illinois Central Company shall
also have the right to exchange every
second yaar FOR another bull of equal
breeding to prevent in breeding. The
Commercial Club .agrees not to sell,
transfer or assign the bulls without the
consent of the |. G. Railway.
Under the contract, it will be abso-
lutely necessary to give the bulls the
very best attention, and when the ami
mails are assigned to man and he fails
to give the needed care and attention,
the bull will be removed without cere-
mony and given to some one else to look
after.
No. 1, consigned to Beat One, is Mas
sy (twin) registration No. 5t6426, calv-
ed July 20, 1915, and is therefore 16
months old. He weighs $40 pounds.
No. 2, consigned to Beat Two, is
Newcassel, registration No. 548S45, calv-
ed Sept. %, 1915, and is therefore IA
months old. He weighs $40 pounds.
H. J. Schmietert, assistant Commits
sioner OF the Industrial and Immigra-
ton Department of the 1. c., was in
Yazoo City to see that the animals were
properly unloaded and to turn them
over to the Club. He and MS. Stair, his
chief, are doing much for the develop
mcnt of the live stock business of Mis-
sissippi, land the generosity on the part
of the railroad in placing these five

season. At no time during the game
did the Aggies get within striking dis
tance of St. STAINS goal, ard most of
the time the ball remained in the for
mer's territory. The visitors put up
good game, but although there is no
doubt that the farmers are good plough
men they could not plough through the
Crimson and Blacks line at all.
"Jumbo" was one of the big stunps in
the way. The Stewarts are too numer-
GUS to mention separately so We say
that they all starred for their team.
Smith and Clark also played stellar ball
for the Aggies. For the home team
every member did his best, the line held
for the backheld every time, while,
the long gains of Cannon Mckinney
and Moore, and the liue plunging of
Manieri and Maher piled up the score
against the visitors. Judging from this
performance in football, it is predicted
that next year the Crimson and Black
will lturn out a team that play some OF
the leading universities of the South.

There are not many things of interest

before long we will have one OF the best
schedules in Dixie.
COMMENT.
s'Kid Avie," better known as Jumbo,
received severe shock from Pop largil,e
last week; one of the gentler sex of the
A. H. S. almost broke his heart.
Last weeks notes were much admir-
ed. They received the special comment
of the President. 1t was too bad the
printer forgot to append the authors
name, Joseph Hymel. Our friend, Mr..
Joe, has a brilliant reportorial future
before him.
While we are profoundly sorry for
fhe sins of "omission" committed by
the intelligent eompositor, the incident
affords the writer of the college notes
this week one paragraph or new5-note
more during a time when there is such
distressing dearth of "things of inter-
est this week." It's an i'll wind, etc.
We heartily agree with the Presiden in
his special comment, and coincide with
friend Curtis in the opinion express ed
that there is bright future for "Mr.
Joe. ."-EDIToR OF ECHO.

May Change Color of Uniforms

There continues to be discussion
among navy officers as to the uniform

much complaint OF account of the use
of white clothing. which obviously fur

spicuous color of uniform. the Wash

one question is as to the shade of
blue that should be adopted. if that
color is determined upon as the most
suited 10 service needs. In addition
to the factor of protective uniform,
it is reported that men going on shore
leave and returning after n hours lib

when white is prescribed as uniform.
There is by no means unanimity of
opinioA among officers as to the color
,of uniform to be adopted In the serv-

view on the subject is divided between
blue and khaki. with further division
in the latter instance between the
shades of olive drab and grayish

Interesting Program In Agrioul-

Given During Farmers'
Week,

Every farmer has his engineer.
ing problems. Whether he is
most interested. in, cattle, hogs, or
field crops, he. has problems in
engineering to solve and must be
more or less OF. an engineer. The
program in Agricultural En-
cheering for Farmers Week at
the University Of Missouri, jan
uary l to S, is designed especially
to answer these problems for the
farmer. Some Of the subjects to
be handled are Gas Engines and
Tractors, Farm Buildings, Tile
drainage, and the Prevention of
Soil Erosion.
Nearly every farmer uses or
will use a gasolenc engine. But
very few Of them can operate an
engine without trouble. Often
when an engine is needed the
worst it refuses to run. A better
understanding Of the operation Of
engines is needed so that man
may know what to do when
trouble occurs. Work will be
given in the operation and repair
of engines, during Farmers
Week.
The tractor question is live
one. Many farmers are asking
whether it will pay them to buy a
tractor and what kind to buy.
These questions will be taken up
and there will be two of the lat
est types of tractors to work on.

The Cabbage

A thousand bards have sung
the rose which is to a man a boon
which perfumes every breeze that
blows in sunny days of June. But
when you've seen and smelled q
rose, there s nothing more to say
Fit gratifys the eyes and nose, and
then it fades away. Its use is
small, it's day is brief, it blooms
and passes out; you do not boil
it with corn beef or make it into
kraut. The cabbage has no
scented buds; it has no gorgeous
sheen. 1t calmly grows beside
the pumpkin vines between. 1t
does not. glitter like a gem or
bloom and die away, and no one
plucks it from it's stem for but
tonhole !boquet. No poet writes a
rondeau rare about the cabbage
chaste; no lady wears it in her
hair or pins it to her waist. And
yet, mcthinks, for sterling worth
it has the roses skinned. What
though all poets bn this earth
.embalm the rose in wind? The
house wife takes a cabbage raw
and chops it in a bowl, hnd
straightway makes dish of shaw

GERMAN RAIDER CAPTURED
Craft Thought to Have Sunk
Many Freighters Taken to
Liverpool Harbor.

New York, Dee. pa myster-
ious German sea raider. which
broke through the British block
ade and destroyed a number of
ships iii English waters, has been
captured and now rides at anchor
in the Liverpool harbor, accord
ing to information brought here
today by the American liner Phil
adelphia.
The capture, it was said was
made by the converted British
cruiser Leutentac, near the spot
where the Lusitania was tor
pcdoed off the Irish coast. The
raider gave battle, but was forced
to surrender. 1t is understood
that the German ship was taken
about two weeks ago.
For many weeks before there
had been rumored in British mar
thine circles of a phantom raider,
a cruiser of high speed, in Eng
lish waters and it was suspected
that many freight ships supposed
to have been sunk by submarines
fell victim to this modern "flying
Dutchman."
Among the 429 passengers on
the Philadelphia was Mary Gar
den, the opera singer. The YES,
sci was battered by heavy gales
on the way over.
