CARPIO MAN DIED.

Joseph Seger, father of N. B. Davis.
was found dead in bed Thursday morn
ing, having died from old age. The
deceased was Sc years old last Novem-
Der. He has not been feeling we'll all
winter and though the end did not
come unexpected, yet at the old gentle
mans ability to be up and around, it
was thought the end was not so near.
He went to bed in apparent good
health, talking cheerfully with his
grandchildren and son. On Thursday
when one of the family went to his
room to see how he was, he was found
in eternal sleep. The funeral will be
held Saturday and interment made in
the local cemetery.-Carpio News.

Good roads is always live subject
with farmers and the public generally,
and will be until over the whole land
good roads are the rule and not the ex-
ception. Everybody is familiar with
the stock arguments for good high
ways, and though nobody can dispute
those arguments there is such an OBJ
truseness that lots of people who trav-
ell the roads day in and day out the
whole year seem to be quite content to
wallow thru the mud in rainy weather
and be enveloped in clouds Of dust in
dry weather. Perhaps the unusually
bad roads that have prevailed this win
ter and spring may work change in
the minds of some. It is to be hoped
so for many a reason. Strange, isn't
it, that farmers and others 50 progress
sive on many things should be content
to drive over the worst roads in
Christendom. One main trouble is
that such lot of folks do not see that
a wise and generous expenditure now
to put roads in good order would mean
money in the pockets in all the future.

The Denver servant girls have form
ed a union and now demand SIP per
week, board and washing, with Sun
days "off," shorter hours, and more po-
like treatment from their employers.
In order to secure their demands, they
will not order general strike, but will
adopt a system of sabotage all their
own, which, it is expected will wreck
the "missus' nerves, for each maid
will serve meals late, smile at the mas
ter and leave her situation" before a
week ends. Between "situations," she
will live in house provided by the
union. A list of practically every
"lady of the house" in Denver has
been made, describing their character
istics without mincing words. AS the
president of the union has red hair,
the girls will probably be successful.

Carranza has asked the United
States to withdraw her troops from
Mexico, giving his excuse that their
presence makes it harder for him to
deal with the natives. The govern
ment has not complied with his re-
quest and probably will not do so until
Villa has been captured or until sat
isfactory proof has been received of
the Bandits death. Mexican reports
have it that Villa died from wounds
and was buried at San Francisco
Borja, nearly three weeks ago. To
substantiate these claims, they de-
clare that the body has been exhumed
and is on it's way to Chihuahua City.
This report is not given great deal
of credence by the United States, as it
is believed that it was sent out by Vii
la himself to confuse our troops. We
cannot afford to pull out of Mexico
until our punitive expedition has ac-
complished it's purpose. This country
has already been too weakened IN
its Mexican policy and if we are to
avert serious trouble in the future, we
must gain the respect of the natives Of
that country by display of arms.

Oh every husband is just average

that the husband is ignorant, that he

schools of instructions in which he will
become enlightened on many subjects,
including the price of his wife's
dresses, with charming young women
for instructors.

The author of "Peck's Bad Boy"
former Governor George w. Peck of
Wisconsin, is dead. What boy, who
lived in the early eighties, has not
read "Peck's Bad Boy" the humorous
tale of mischievous American boy?
Most mothers considered the book I'M
fit for their young hopefuls to peruse,
fearing that it would put ideas into
their fertile brains that might make
them unruly. The writer got hold of
the book in some precarious manner
and stole away to the garnet where he
whiled away many pleasant hours
amid stolen pleasures. To the reading
of "Peck's Bad Boy" may be attribut-
ed so much of the deviltry that has
manifested itself in the grown-ups of
today.

It is devoutly to be wished that the
threatened strike of 100000 railroad
men in the east may be obviated. In
dustrial war is second only to mill
tary warfare, for even if no lives are
lost, there is lots Of discomfort and
misery and usually also property is
endangered. In the present case there
is good reason to believe that a con-
ciliatory spirit will prevail. Railroad
men are distinguished for their intelli-
gence and reasonableness, and the Of
icials seem to be willing to talk the
matter over with the men. A calm
and rational discussion, in which each
side seeks to understand the others
point of view, would likely settle the
difficulty to the satisfaction of all.

Last year Standard Oil paid divi-
dend of over fifty per cent. No Won
der the price of gasoline went up by
leaps and bounds. The public can con-
sole itself with the knowledge that
in paying such exhorbitant prices it
was helping to give great lifts to
churches and hospitals. To be sure,
Mr.. Rockefeller will get the credit
and men will extol his generosity, but
all the same the public foots the bill.
Is it possible that neither congress
nor courts can prevent these extor-
lions on the part Of Standard Oil and
other similar, institutions?

MANY FARMERS ATTEND A. & M
DEMONSTRATIONS.

When farmers become so eager to
learn scientific agriculture that
great groups of them 60 to their A.
and NJ. College to take the short
courses, the rapid development of
the farms of the state is assured.
The many Mississippifarmers who
are taking advantage OF the farmers
excursion trains to their A. and M.
College are getting new ideas that
will be worth much to them in the
future management Of their farms.
Among the practical things taught
and demonstrated are how to imocu-
late crimson clover seed; to prune
and spray orchards; to develop good
money making calves and lambs by
crossing pure bred bulls and rams
with native cattle and sheep; to In
oculate hogs against cholera; to in
crease corn yields by the proper Sc
lection of seed in the fields; and to
judge the best type Of stock for
breeding purposes.
Farmers excursion trains have al
ready been run from Northeast Mis-
sissippi and from the Southern part
Of the State. The next train will
bring the farmer from north and
northewest Mississippi for a two day
short course. August II and IL. In
addition to the regular lectures
demonstrations and trips over the
farm, a sale Of Angus and Shorthorn
cattle will be held at the college by
the Angus and Shothorn Breeders
Associations.

10000 FARMERS TO PUT IN
WATER WORKS.

Are you one Of the ten thousand
Mississippi farmers who are going to
put running water in their homes
this year?
This pointed question was put to
the farmers gwho recently visited the
A. and NJ. College on the farmers
excursion, by Daniel Scoates, head Of
the department Of agricultural engi-
neering Running water in the
farm home" explains Mr.. Scoatos,
"means better health and more rest
for the women folks, means that the
boys and girls will stay on the farm,
means that the farmers will enjoy
life more fully.
Running awter can be put into
farm homes at a cost never before
thought possible A pitcher pump
In the kitchen, with sink and drain
pipe will cost about eighteen dollars;
force pump at the we'll with Il
tank above the kitchen with the
water on tap at the sink viii cost
about thirty five dollars. A system
giving both hot and cold water in
the kitchen can be installed for fifty
dollars, while for about one hundred
and thirty dollars complete system,
with all fixtures can be installed,
which will supply hot and cold water
to both kitchen and bath room. All
of these systems are so designed that
they can be added to as enlargements
as are necessary. A gas engine to do
the pumping need not cost over fifty
dollars.
Everything necessary for install
ing any Of these systems can be
bought from your local hardware
dealer.
To any farmer who wants to ell
inmate the drudgery Of the farm,
plans and specifications for several
types of water works will be sent on
application to the Agricultural En-
gineer. Agricultural College. Miss. +"

will not begin his real vacation till
later in the season. He expects to
spend several days in Minneapolis late

ember when he will be interested in

All the rest of the teachers left as
soon as school closed and are now en-
joying themselves gathering health
and freckles as they undoubtedly
swing in some hammock beneath some
friendly lakeside oak. All of them
are expected back when school opens

ings Sunday until the rain came to
spoil picnic gaieties. The trip to the
picnic grounds was made in carry
all drawn by four horses. The band
left here early but it was two o'clock
in the afternoon before they arrived
at Artichoke, the driver losing the
road. After many stops to inquire
directions the boys finally arrived on
the scene hungry as bears. Then the
music started up and all went fine as
a fiddle till the rain interfered. Prof.
Harvey was obliged to leave at two
O'Clock in the morning and arrived
here after breakfast to proceed by
automobile to Cyrus where he led the
band in the Old Settlers picnic. Four
miles of his trip from the picnic
grounds were made by boat and from
there he hired a farmer to take him
to Alberta. The rest of the boys ar
rived here about noon weary with
the ride and unanimous in their senti-
ment never again to play at an
Artichoke picnic.
