HOME GARDENING
CUTS DOWN BILLS
Planted Through Season,
Says Hastings.

Atlanta, Ga. (SpeciaD "The
greatest obstacle to permanent farm
prosperity in the south is the store
bilr made for food and grain that
could and should be grown on every
southern farm" says H. G. Hastings,
president Of the Southeastern Fair
Association and Of the Georgia Cham
ber of Commerce, in an interview on
agricultural conditions in this terri
tory.
"a real garden" says Mr.. Hastings.
properly prepared and planted, and
kept planted throughout the season,
will help more to decrease store bills
than anything else the farmer can do.
There are lots of what l term one
planting: gardens made, gardens with
a few struggling rows of beans, a few
dozen cabbages and tomato plants,
with some watermelon Off to one cor
ner, but that's not real gardening any
more than a youngsters first drawing
Of cat or dog on his slate. is fine
art Our southern folks generally
don't take the sarden seriously, when
as q matter Of ta0t the right kind of
a garden, containing full line Of
vegetables and Kept busy all season,
is reasonably sure of furnishing at
least half the living Of the family.
81 have never seen 'one crop sec
ton, regardless of what particular one
crop was grown, that did not have a
poverty-stricken look, with poor school
buildings, churches and homes.
81 have never seen a diversified
section that did not have the signs of
prosperity sticking out all over it.
"And on practically every farm in
these prosperous diversified sections
the home garden has an honored
place. -.
81 haven't a thing In the world
against the supply and general me--
chants, but if all of our people would
take the home garden seriously, half
of them would have TO go out of bust
ness for lack of trade. Give your gar
den a square deal in 1917.

Tyson, are at some point in the

fession was not thought mnch of
at first, but on being taken to the

Pardons Considered

jackson, Miss, Jan. 4.-The e
state board of pardons have been
in session during the week, with
a large number of men and
some women, who are vitality
interested in cases pending for
consideration, on hand to present
their claims to clemency. The
most noted case before the board
is that of J. e. Regan, from
Claiborne, who is serving a life
sentence for murder, after an
original sentence to hang. Whilst
he was confined in Port Gibson
Jail, directly after being senten-
ced. Regan made his escape and
stayed hid through the Varda-
man, Noel and Brewer adminis-
trations, and a few months ago,
voluntarily discovered himself to
the state authorities.
This case was before the par
don board at the October meet
ing, and was passed up to this
meeting and gave the members
of the board occasion for much
thought and study.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY

How many people in the state OF
Mississippi have had the chance to see
a wireless telegraph station and pc
shown how it works? Very Few lnoeee,
although practically all have Feao
something of this great Invention ana
nlarveled at its accomplishment Nls'
itors to the Exposition will have op-
portunity Of seeing one, built ana eFsF-
ated by our home folks.
Chancellor.J N. Powers OF the xr&te
University stated at the educstlenal
conference IN Gulfport recently thar
the University would install wireless
station on the Exposition grounds ana
operate 1t during the Centennial IL
will be erected and operated ey stu
dents of that great state INSTITUTION,
"Grown In Mississippi" boys.
The station will have a capa CITY OF
receiving messages sent from Similar
stations a thousand miles away. TfzHs
will be received each day from ths
government station at Arlington. vas
in the suburbs of Washington, approx
imately a thousand miles IN an an
line. Communication will Also be had
with Key West, Fla, Galveston, Tex
and other points.
This progressive move on the part
of the University will be douhly ap-
preciated by the people Of MisasstnR
as we'll as our guests from otner
states. Few were aware that such ad-
vanced methods were in use by our
home institutions and this will bring
that fact to the attention of many who
otherwise would be a long time In
learning of it.

THE CONFLICT is ON

Even though the nation is entering
into the war there is no need of hys-
terra Two things there are to avoid.
One is violent hatred, bitterness and
vain Boosting. and the other is sloth,
cowardice and vain regret.
This country will be called on to do
more than most people now imagine.
The other nations in the strife are
harder pushed than they admit and
all the pressure they can bring will
be exerted to induce the United
States to take the burden under which
they are staggering.
Unless the land forces of the allies
can crush Germany between now and
the next harvest they cannot do it
except at the end of struggle of
years duration, and the United States
will have to furnish the soldiers to
complete the work. For this reason
this country should soon have in
an oil vi Ut itooN wv AiAi
lion men. They will not be needed at
once, but in war preparation should
be made for furture needs.
There is reasonable hope. however,
that with the cooperation of the
American navy Germany can be
brought to submission before she can
harvest another crop. For this rea-
son every effort should be strained to
make the navy effective.
This country is able to do the job
shoulders, but it viii be no holiday
parade IT. is no time for weak and
foolish fear. We are putting our
hands to the plough and after war is
once declared we cannot turn back.
We must be prepared to sacrifice
hundreds of thousands of young
American lives on the battlefields OF
Europe if necessary TO complete the
victory. Even if not q single regi-
ment is landed on the other side of
the ocean we must expect to contri-
butte billions in taxes and pile up
a gigantic debt for the future to pay.
America, however, has both the
men and the money and If worst
comes to worst can defeat Germany
single handed
President Wilson has taken this
step only after long hesitation and
earnest thought. All the people can
do new is to back him to the limit.
The dogs of war are unleashed. For
the first time in fifty years the United
States is engaged in real war
