LiahtnIpu Rods,

There were norlightning rods in an- cient times. The first one that the world ever saw was set up by our own illustrious countryman Benjamin Franklin shortly after the year 1762. He had just had his celebrated experi- ment with the kite, in which he dem onstrated the identity of lightning with electricity, and was therefore prepared for the construction of the rods for which the world had waited so long. It Is not generally known that Franklin was as distinguished in science as he was in statesmanship and dipl0macy.-E Exchange.

cow SHOULD NET HER
/ OWNER $44. 70 A YEAR

G. p. Lewis, manager of the Sum
IRAN Creamery, in way tnat is inter
Iesting to the farmers, has worked out
a table by which d farmer can judge
his dairy COWS.
( Mr.. Lewis estimates that two gal
lon dairy COW should in ten months
time net the farmer $44.7O. This means
that the farmers gets pay in cash for
every bit of feed he gives to old
bossy" and besides, ne realizes s44.7O
for an ordinary COW. A two gallon COW
is not considered an exceptional COW.
In fact, farmer need not consider
Idairying unless his herd will average
two gallons per day. Most cows will
Pgive four gallons Of milk.
The mathematics of this estimate
is this: II pounds of milk per day is
$40 pounds of milk per month, or 500
pounds of milk in ten months time.
Four per cent of the average milk is
butter fat, and in that 5100 pounds
OF milk, there are 204 pounds of butter
fat Butterfat at the present market
(which is ascending) would bring in
$6120. This is the amount of money
the farmer should realize. The farmer
of course, has had to go to some ex-
pense to keep this COW and feed her
and this cost must be deducted. but
the gain that is realized from old
bossy's calf each year must also be
reckoned.
The cost to feed that COW in ten
months was $S5. Her calf at the end
of ten months will bring $40, and the
cost of raising the calf was $4 The
gain on the calf was Sc. The COW pro
duced five tons of manure in ten
months time which is worth to the
farmer $3.50. This six dollars and
s12.5O is addsd to the $61.2O while the
maintenance cost ($35) is deducted.
he result is $44.70 net profit Besides,
the farmer had the use Of the skinned
milk from the COW for ten months, and
he has cash money for the farm pro-
duce which he feeds her.
Worked out in tabloid fern, the ex-

In 1905, the Ssmrall Bank was
founded with Mr. Foote Of Hatties

fected. The Lamar County Bank was

The High School of Sumrall, with

auditorium, and the interest Of the
town is naturally much centered upon
the school and its activities. The
students work energetically to make
possible a lyceum course during each
winter season, and they themselves
present yarioud kinds of entertain
Iments. Included in these this winter
will be debating contests between de-
batting clubs of this and other high
schools in South Mississippi. The
school has music clubs, boys scout
and girls campfire clubs, and enter
tainments of various other kinds.
The big event in the social calen-
dar Of the school year is of course,
commencement, and two fine speakers
are brought to Sumrall each year for
this occasion. The commencement
week exercises consist of at least
the class day events, and the bacca-
laureate address. Other events in the
school year are athletic contests with
the other high schools Of this vicin-
ity.
Girls as well as boys basketball
teams, coached by Miss Harrell and

Mystery Magnifed in

cabinet, and seeing an automobile tire

distributors of Miller Geared-to -to-the-
Road tires, any evening between the
hours of seven and nine, for the next

thanksgiving Day contest will un-
doubtedly furnish one of the most in

entries secured to. date by Neil Whal-
en-, director of contests, being of a
high caliber. 4 number of the cars
and drivers that competed in the
recent record-breaking race at Sleeps
head Bay have already been entered
for the main event of the Uniontown
meet.
The Uniontown speedway is of the
board type of construction, similar in
principle to the courses at New York
and Chicago upon which all worlds
speedway records have ben shattered.
1t is g l Is mile oval designed to per-
nit the racing of cars at maximum
speed with minimum of danger.
Jack Prince, known throughout the
country as a builder of speed bowls
and constructor of more SpeedwayS
than any other man in the country. is
supervising the building of the Union
town track and now has an army of
artisans at work rushing the board
course to completion. An idea of the
task represented in this work will be
gained when it is known that in the
construction of the track alone more
than 2,500,000 feet of lumber will be
used.
The Uniontown speedway is the re-

way is now being doomed as a

ton of the track which will place
Western Pennsylvania more conspicu-
ously on the motor map.
While the entries do not close until
midnight November 25, Neil Whalen,
the racing driver, who is acting as di-
rector of contests, has already secured
representative list of entries and has
prospects of lining up many other
racing stars in the limited field of fif-
teen starters.
The main event of the Uniontown
program will be a race for nonstock
cars of 800 cubic inches piston dis
placement or under over distance
of 112h miles, or 100 lays of the
course, with prizes aggregating s3,0
being split between the first five driv-
ers to finish. The race for cars en-
tered by the dealers will be 81 miles
and will be for $3.50 in prizes. OF
this money S100 will be awarded to
the driver leading at the end of the
sixteenth and thirty-second laps in the
dealers races. In addition to to these
races there will be a special exhibition
time trial for the purpose of setting
new American speedway records for
l, D, and 10 miles
