Fight and Fight Hard

To talk of hitting a wrist blow
in this war is silly. America
has stood nearly three years of
insult and contumely from Ger
many. We have waited patient
ly while Germany violated inter-
national law in Belgium, while
she killed our women and chill
dren, murdered our seamen,
tried to paralyze our commerce
and insuIted our flag. Now that
we have decided to fight, we
must fight hard.
We must 90 where our men
and money and munitions will
cost Germany most dearly. If
that means fighting in Flanders
there we must go. If it means
fighting on the high seas there
must fight.
We cannot afford to restrict the
character of our military and
naval operations. War is war.
We must not try to make it any,
thing else. And having gone in
to the fight we must wage it so
that the world will know that our
entrance has counted.
This war may be made the
last war, if Prussia is crushed
and the HohenzoIlern dynasty is
wrecked. We can wage a war
for lasting peace if we wage it
vigorously. But we cannot make
our force count for righteous
ness by mushy blows. We must
hit and hit hard, and hit as
quickly as we can. We must
join the allies and help them, or
in the end suffer the danger of
isolation. Traditions should not
count against the logic of the
situation. That logic is inexor-
able, and it demands that we
hall stay in this war until the
mad kings of the Central Empire
ire dethroned, and the German
republic joins the French and
\merican and Russian republics
md the democratic government
If England to enforce a perman-
mt world peace.
Let us make ourselves the
champions of republican govern
nent in the beginning of the
worlds republic.

The Dear Departing

Ten years ago, when a widow
was left a chunk Of insurance
money, generally it was used to
free a mortgaged home from in
cumbrance. or to add a bathroom
or a needed addition to a home
which was free from debt, says
an exchange. Usually part of
the money left over was put into
the bank as a reserve fund
against emergencies. All this
was ten years ago.
In the years of grace 1916 and
1917, when a widow receives a
small bunch of insurance money,
most Of it goes for an automo-
bile. The rest of it goes for a
garage for an automobile. But
it may be that an automobile
with garage to put it in has a
greater power of attraction than
a house with a new. bathroom, or
a kitchen-sleeping porch annex.
Watch the next bunch of insur-
ance money that lights in your
neighborhood, 1t may not buy
a bathroom, and it may not buy
an automobile, but generally
there is a laugh concealed ir
what it does buy. Watching in.
surance money fit is becoming
one of our most popular indoor
pastimes.

Appreciation Worthily Bestowed.

A testimonial which the people of
Noxubee county will agree was fittingly
bestowed and thoroughly deserved. was
that presented last Saturday to Cashier
Eliot Yates by the stockholders Of the
Merchants and Farmers bank. The tes-
timoniai was beautiful silver service,
and in worth and substance is in keep
ing with the things it purposed to com
memmorate.
Mr.. Yates began his connection with
the Merchants and Farmers bank when
both were young and both just well be-
ginning their careers. His career and
it's have been closelp:ali0ned ever since
He has given it his best service, his
best intelligence and judgment, and
that he has served it well and ably the
banks record and present position and
condition is indsputable evidence. Abil-
ity that in a wider and greater field
would have brought greater and wider
reputation and vastly larger personal
SUCCESS to its possessor has been unre-
mittingly exercised for the success Of
the Merchants and Farmers bank. and
placed it in the front rank of the fnan-
cial institutions of Mississippi, Consid-
ering its environment, it is doubtful if
any bank in the state can show greater
success attained Without any unfair
ness to Mr.. Yates associates and co-ad-
tutors in the conduct of the bank in the
twenty-five years he has been connected
with it, and they were sound and capa-
bile men who have been associated with
him, he has had the laboring oar, and
he has been the guiding spirit of the
institution for many years He wei
deserves the expression, engraved On
the tablet on the cabinet of solid silver
-"As Indication of Their Esteem,
Confidence and Admiration"
The justness and generosity of tn,
stockholders of the bank in giving Mr.
Yates this testimonial of their appre
citation of his long, able and faithful
service will be endorsed by all who are
acquainted with the banks history ant
who love to see merit acknowledged
and rewarded.

A Meltinq Pot.

The settlement of the railroad
strike by the Supreme Court deci
sion has a number of pleasant side
lights-side lights through which
we may look at a somewhat larger
world than some of us live id too
much. For instance, it must not
be forgotten that twelve hours be.
fore the Supreme Court decision
was made public, the railroad
managers gave in under the stress
of a great national danger. They,
who are too often regarded as mere
selfesh representatives of Grass
money interests, bowed to an in
terest greater than money: The
welfare of our Republic.
Alsa in placing credit where it
belongs for the Supreme Court de-
cision, let us not forget that with
out two Catholics and a jew the
Supreme Court would not have
had a majority for the railroad
men. The Catholics and the Jews
often are regarded by certain ele'
ments of our people as clannish
and dangerous elements in society.
Yet here they rose fine and brave
aud wise, and one Catholic at least
Chief Justice White was edu.
Gated a Jesuit.
Broad generalizations ofmen by
reason of their creeds or property
holdings or positions are unfair.

one blood. In the melting pot Of

Getting q Stand of Cotton

With cotton seed scarce and
high priced, it is hi5hly import
ant that every effort be made to
secure good stands. Poor ger
mination means delay in getting
the crop under way and conse-
quently a late start, which is
dangerous unoer boil weevil con-
ditions,
A we'll prepared, well firmed
seed bed, next to sound seed,
probably is of first Importance in
getting stands. To get such a
seed bed, it is necessary that
breaking be done far enough in
advance of planting to allow one
or two good rains to settle and
firm the soil, and that the har-
row be used literally to pulver-
ize all clods. Then, too, the har-
row over the beds just ahead of
the planter does excellent work
in removing trash, clods or other
distractions and in freshening
the ground for the seed.
Don't plant too early. If a
good, firm seed bed has not been
made it will pay to make it,
though doing so may possibly
delay planting a week or ten
days. This delay will be more
than made up by the increased
vigor that the plants will have.
Putting the seed too deep is an
other danger that must be
guarded against. and this is espe-
cially true if the soil be freshly
prepared and loose. Where the
ground is moist, a half inch of
soil on the seed will be ample.
Finally, if beating rains come
after the seed are planted, it will
be necessary to break the crust
with one or two good harrow
ings. For doing this work the
section harrow is an excellent
implement, not only breaking
the crust but killing young grass
and giving the crop a cultivation
as well.
Don't forget that a crop wei
started is half made, and dt
everything possible to get thu
young plants under way yigor

JACKSON, MISS April 2, 1917.
he Farmers Of Mississinpi,


To the Farmers Of Mississippi:
Americas rights have been invaded;
her liberty has been threatened; and
our nations prestige and honor are at
stake.
President Wilson, through the Secre-
tary of Agriculture, Hon. D. F. Hous-
ton, is appealing to the farmers to do
their duty.
Mississippians have never been lag
CARDS when duty called; and feel sure
that my contemporaries will prove no
exception to the rule.
1t would seem that the patriotic
duty of the Mississippi farmers is to
plant abundantly Of food and feed
crops, so that there may be no scarcity.
Let those in the fields armed with
the plow and hoe be an unconquerable
ally to those on the fields OF battle.
