Defeat for Game Law.

Returns from over the state re-
celved up to II O'Clock Wednesday
show conclusively thas the unpopular
Richardson game law was very de-
c%isiyely defeated at the referendum
election on Tuesday.
The county vote against this much
discussed measure was almost solid.
and in many of the towns a majority
was returned against it.
The game law was the only feature
of interest in the Mississippi election,
and vas chiefly responsible for the
large vote polled, The total vote of
the state will be between rs, GOO and
50, 600.
10 many of the counties the vote
against the game law was easily > to /.
1t IS doubtful if the measure was up.
held by a majority vote in a single
county in the state,
Lawrence county, out Of a total of
zoo Votes polled, gave 500 votes against
the game law.
The count was slow. owing to the
large ballot used, and many of the
election officers did not finish their
work until after midnight.
The voters did not have an opportu-
nifty to express an opinion on the two
liquor laws, sowing to the Intervention
of the Supreme court. 1t is a fact
generally recognized, even by some of
the prohibition leaders, that these two
laws would have also been ~repudiated

Anchor Your Farm BY Biowin6
II Up

The Federal Geological Suryc,
is authority for the statcmcu
that an average of % tons of sol
and loose rock are washed into Tn,
ocean every year from every
square mile of territory in III,
United States. The Stupcndou
amount of land washed away ma,
be realized when it is taken into
consideration that there are ovcr
5000, 600 square miles Of land H.
this country. This loss to The
American farmer is gigantic, a.
1t is Obvious that the soil carried
away is top soil the richest in
plant food and humus.
Is the best part of your farm
being gradually washed away
year by year! DO you allow the
washes to develop into gullics to
facilitate further the robniug Of
your soil! Have you failed to
realize that The muddy creek flow
ing through your section is carry
ing n part of yours and your
neighbours farm away,
The question of checking This
flow of farm land to the ocean is
one that should be- uppcrmost
with every farmer. This loss can
not bc stopped abruptly, but if
every one would put his shoulder
TO the wheel and do his part, the
great movement of farm land
occanward would, in a large meas
urc, cease.
One of the best ways TO pcrmon
entity "anchor' your farm and
stop the washing away of yom
land is 10y the use Of dynamjtc
The idea is to deepen the soil
reservoir and also to provide ycr
teal drainage SO that the waite,
instead of running orr will
''run In
This is easily accomplished NV
blasting the SubSoil.
In blasting the subsoil the
hardpans are shattered, the sue
soil is opened up to Il depth Of
several feet, and the impcryious
SubSoll broken, providing AIDE
quate drainage, BY this means
the water, instead of running or
and carrying the farm with it, is
held in the soil and conserved for
the farmers use - Scientific Amer

Free Thanksgiving Car for Or

To Run on the Mobile G Ohio Railroad

To Run on the Mobile & Ohio Railroad
We are planning to run a car for the
Methodist and Baptist Orphanages
from Columbus to Meridian, Miss,
Nov. 81, 1916, and we are anxious to
make a success of it, both for the sake
of the railroads who have so kindly
granted it. and for the sake of our
children, who will be greatly bene-
fitted by it. May we depend upon you
to take the matter up in your commu-
nifty and interest. with you, such others
as will push the work, and will you,
with them, see all the people in your
community and give them a chance to
contribute literally to this car?
The car plan is a great success
where it is well worked. On account
of the boil weevil and other conditions
in certain sections of our state, the
contributions will necessarily be cut
off, 80 we shall need to make an extra
effort for contributions in money and
provisions for our orphan chi dren.
In the two orphanages we have
more than 450 children to be fed,
clothed and warmed. Besides what
money you can give, they can use
anything to eat or wear, for girls /,
or boys from 2 to 16 years old. Get
your people to send molasses, corn,
flour, sugar, grits, cured meats, lard,
all kinds of canned goods. all kinds of
dishes, and boxes of clothing, shoes,
hats, hose, elastic, soap, pins, needles.
thread, buttons, pencils, tablets, quilts,
blankets, sheets, pilIow-cases and
towels.
The railroads are better pleased when
we fill the cars well, and 80 are our
orphan children. Appoint a soliciting
committee, get them to secure contri-
buttons of goods, then arrange with
some one to carry them to the depot in
due time, and the car will pick it up
and carry it to Jackson. Mark every
package plainly-either to the Method
list or Baptist Orphanage. Please see
to that.

PIC LODGED IN TREE

No one will ever know how cy-

ten feet from the ground hung a lO0'
pound hog, which had been blown In
to the air and lodged securely among
the limbs. The hog was released
and It went away perfectly happy

WHY THE FARMER
SHOULD ORGANIZE
Every Neighborhood Should
Have A Farmers Club Or
Community Club.

IF you are to help the people OF
your communities, in the most ef-
fective way, you must help them to
organize for neiehborhood improve
ment as we'll as to make money
This was the advice given by j. II.
Miller, dean of the University Of
Arkansas Agricultural Extension
Department, in his address to the
county agricultural agents Of the
South Arkansas District, who met
at Fordyce recently,
The highest kind Of progress can
not be made by our continual pour
ing in of valuable information, but
rather by helping people to work
out their own problems through Or
ganized effort with our assistance.
The farmers must learn to think
more of his work and Of himself.
One Of the best ways for farmers TO
reach this appreciation Of themselves
Is through organized activities, and
through neighborhood associations
for community service, for helping
others rather than merely helping
themselves,
"A farmers club or community
club should be organized In every
neiehborhood where there may be
found the spirit Of cooperation and
local leadership. Such an organi-
cation should be formed for COM
munity betterment, for discussion
of local needs and for education,
When 'neighbors. are not ready to
organize on the general plan they
may be organized for particular
purpose, such as buying pure bred
stock, farm implements, building q
dipping vat, control OF hoe cholera,
or for cooperative sale Of fruit or
