OPEN CAMPAIGN
 NOW EXPECTED
Action No Surprise to Friends ; Wilson's Name Already on Primary Ballots of Several States.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-The Pres ident gave his consent formally for the first time to the use of his name as a presidential candidate at the coming election. At the same time he declared he was entirely unwilling to enter any contest" for the reromin- ation. The declaration was made in answer to 6 letter from the Ohio secretary of state who wrote that candidates from Ohio to the national conventions must signify their choices for president by Feb. 25 and that no presidential candidate can be named in that connection without their COT sent.
 In several other states where such requirements are not imposed Will sons name already has been placed on the primary ballot. Friends gen orally have taken it for granted that he would be a candidate if he became convinced there would be any popular demand. The definition of the Presi- dents attitude is in line with plans of his political associates and is ex- pected to bring into the open a cam paign being made in his favor through out the counrry.

ANARCHISTS AT BOTTOM IF POISON

Country Wide Search for Chef of Chicago University Club Uncovers Signs of Gigantic Anarchistic Plan.
ORGANIZATION IS
 GREAT IN ITS SCOPE
Widow of Assassin of King Humbert Thought Mixed Up in the Affair. Bomb Plots Traced to Clan.

CHICAGO. Feb. 1.-The wide spread search for Jean Croners has developed the existance of a gang of fifteen anarchists whose grudge lays principally against the Church. The names of most have been secured Letters found on Frank Allegrini are said to disclose the plot. extending to Rome, to destroy the churches and church property of all creeds.
 The headquarters of the society are in Rome. In the United States public buildings were to receive the atten- ton of the anarchists. It is believed by police authorities the attempt to wreck St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Cathedral in New York several months ago was part of the plot.
 Letters taken from Allegrini and found in his room were written in 1913. Most were without signatures. One was from Chicago addressed to Dear Allegrini'' Another was dated ''Salida. Colorado" and addressed to Dear Frank"
 The first letter goes into details of bomb invention by the writer. This, " says the letter, will be a fine thing to throw among a lot of religious people when they go out. dressed in their best clothes, ,on the boulevards to talk the sermon over"
 Most of the letters were not made public. Maps were also found which show evidence the plotters had de- signs on the Peoples Gas Light and Coke Building, in Chicago.

Is HIGH IN LATIN
 AMERICA
Commission or Education Say Illiteracy Runs As High As Eighty Per Cent in Some of South American Nations.

PANAMA, Feb. 14.-Illiteracy in Latin American countries reaches as high as eighty per cent of the popula- tion in some instances and in no case is less than forty per cent. according to the Report of the Commission on Education presented today to the con- gress on religious work in Latin Ameri- ca which is in session here
 Tn few nations is illiteracy so pro- nounced." the report says. In some countries, such as Ecuador. it is impos- sible to arrive at any accurate esti- mate. In such advanced countries as Brazil, some estimates reach as high as eighty per cent"
 In view of the fact that in most of the southern republics large masses of the population are Indians who have scarcely emerged from barbarism the commission sees no possibility of any material advance in education in the immediate future The great need it's points out is for some industrial or az ricultural training.
 At the same time the Commission finds there is the keenest possible in terest in the question of education in practically every section of Latin A. merica, and that any effort in that di- rection is warmly welcomed. As an example of this it instances the estab- lishment of the notable systems of successful day schools in Central Bra gil, Argentina, Chile and elsewhere by the missionary churches of the United States and Great Britain. In British Guinea there are 17,000 pupils in the parochial schools instituted by the Church of England and the Wes- leyan Evangelistical schools in Buenos Aires have $500 pupils enrolled and receive a government subsidy while nearly forty parochial schools have been established in Brazil.
 The commission report sthat plans are being worked out for the estab- lishment of union Christian college at Buenos Ayres which city is describ- ed as the Gibraltar of Latin-America from the viewpoint of missionary con quest
 The report concludes with an ur- gent plea for the cooperation of all the missionary churches in education al work in the southern republics and the raising of substantial funds in view of the enormous scope of the work.

TRAINS AS PRESENT

A plea was made in the report for the entrance into the system of moro state banks and trust companies.
 The board expressed regret that in some states suit had been instituted to test the reserve act provisions hy which it may grant fiduciary powers to National banks. announced it's in tention to have it's counsel intervene in these cases and said every effort would be made to have the uestion soon settled by the Supreme Court. It is pointed out that only state banks have been admitted to this system and that S4 others have come in by conver- sion into National banks.
 The report declared that a condition of remarkable ease was the outstand- ing feature of the country's money market during the year.
 The discount policy of the board dur ing the past year was declared to have been proper under the circumstances, but it was pointed out that ss time goes on there will be a disposition to make these rates more nearly equal in all parts of the country. The reserve banks have not been encouraged to indulge in such commercial banking operations as the law permits. the board said. because thereby the dan ger of inflstatien might have been in creased and money rates further de pressed. More active participation in such transactions by reserve banks may be expected in the future.

The Sentinel has enough paper on

by reasonable advance in adj

MARKETING SWEET POTATOES.
H. E. BLAKEsLEE.

Along with a great many other
products which we produce literally
in Mississippi soil, and for which we
have made practically no effort to
create market, is the sweet potato.
The Mississippi Candy Yam has a
very limited market today because
in this matter, as in many others,
our people have been asleep and have
made no effort whatever to popular
ize them with the consuming public.
wish 1t were possible for every
man in Mississippi to visit the state
of California, spend a short while,
and be taught the lesson of creating
marnet for what you can grow, and
get the other fellow dollar for it,
sending the product outside and
bringing in good money for distribu-
tion in our section.
The Mississippi Centennial Expo
sition offers the greatest opportunity
we have had in the past, or are likely
to have in the future, of creating a
demand and popularizing our pro-
ducts, such as sweet potatoes, etc.
1t is the intention of the manage
ment OF the Exposition to install on
the grounds thoroughly sanitary
kitchen where home made sweet DO
tato pies will be made and sold tC
| the hundreds of thousands OF north,
ern visitors, to impress upon them
that they ough to use this
particular product in their
homes. Several thousand bush.
els of sweet potatoes will likely
be used for this purpose, but by sell.
ing the pies at a normal price, suffi-
cient funds can be secured to pay a
reasonable price for the potatoes, for
labor, etc. Several black mann
mics, who ii oroughly understand
the art of making sweet potato pies,
will be secured to do the cooking,
and it goes without saying that once
our visitors have tasted a pie made
from genuine Southern yam pota-
toes, they will lose their penchan
for New England pumpkins yam DO
tatoes, thus creating an ever en-.
larging demand for our potatoes in
their home market.
| This is only one of a great numb
of opportunities the Exposition offers
the people of this state to create q
demand and market for their pro
ducts. 1t is time we are waking ul
and going after things of this kind.
If we don I do it we will never get
anything worth while,
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1916-12-08

AS one of the first move towards
getting ready for being in shape to
borrow money under the coming
opportunities OF the farmers loan bill
recently passed by congress, the
Herald would advise each and every
farmer DESTROYS of such money help
to proceed at once to have titles TO
their lands perfectly if they are not
already in that condition. A missing
link in the abstract of title will hold
you up, Mr.. Farmer, from securing
a loan until the slow process of court
can be gone through with and such
defect cured. So take old father
time by the forelock and consult
your attorney now and have him be-
gin "a title suit in chancery court to
cure your title of any possible defects
and be thus ready when the time
comes that some of that good money
will be available to be borrowed by
worthy farmers needing capital to
push their agricultural pursuits.

Jackson, Miss, Lee. 5, 1916. -
Everything indicates that all kinds
of grain feed will be exceedingly
high during the next six months.
l will therefore offer the following
suggestions;
/. Every farmer should have
enough oats planted to make up any
deficiency in his supply Of grain
feed.
2. In regard to futher sowing OF
oats this season | will say:
(D Prepare your land now, but
do not SOW the oats until the last
week or ten days of December OF
the first week or ten days of January
By so doing YOU stand much better
chance of getting your oats up and
rooted without getting them frozen
than if you had planted them during
the first half OF December.
/ will say what was stated in re.
gard to the time of planting applies
particularly to central and northern
parts of the state There is very
slight danger OF damage by freezing
10 the southern part OF the state.

Some OF the greatest lessons in
economy which can be taught are to
be learned from farm life. We mean
from a well kept farm. The chang
ing seasons, all of which have their
demands upon the forethought and
attention of the prudent and provi-
dent farmer. have lessons of invalua-

follow their life back to boyhood DAYS
and see that they enjoyed the adj
