GOOD LAND is OFTEN WASTED

Many farmers have not yet learned
+o use their land thoroughly. A con-
crete example of this is found in the
waste land that is to be seen on near
lv every farm. Sometimes a farmer
will spend much money clearing addi-
tional land when he has good land go
ing to waste on his place.
Fence corners, division fences grown
up to weeds and shrubbery, ditenes'
stumps, unnecessarily large tarm
wards, all take up valuable space.
This is an excellent time to put the
farm in order. An extra rod of good
soil will produce considerable valua-
BILE food, and will repay cleaning it up.
Let the anti-waste campaign extend
to things that might be raised as well
as to things already grown.

interest was solemnized at Woodland
church Thursday at 4:30 p. M, when
Miss Laura Myrtle Wallace became
the bride of Mr.. Joe Bond Sills. The
church was simply but beautifully dec
Grated for the occasion. The piano
was placed at the back Of the stage.
In front were four tall columns ar
ranged to resemble the entrance to a
temple. From these ribbons OF PINK
white and blue, the color scheme, were
artistically arranged and carried
across and caught together at the top
of the window under which the piano
stood. A vase of exquisite pink and
white roses occupied the center of the
piano. On either side were handsome
candelabra. Ferns and honeysuckle
were banked in the background. A
large snowy white wedding bell was
suspended in front Of the altar Fes-
toons of ribbons were carried from
the top of the bell to the front columns
On either side of the hall stood tall
candelabra filled with large and long
candles. The church was darkened
while the guests were assembling,
and when the ushers, Messrs. Fred
Sills and Alvis Dickinson came for

From the east the enemy invasion
of the center of the battle front is now
within gun range of the Tagliamento

General Cordona would turn and make
stand. The Italian commander in
chief, however, has not yet brought his
troops about to face the enemy, but is
continuing his retreat with the rear

At the hospital where Bigelow was
taken for treatment, it was said to-
night he was resting under the infiu-
ence of opiates, but that his condition
was quite serious.
Digelow's physician said he counted
forty welts on Bigelow's back made by
the horsewhip in the hands of mem
Der Of the band.
A mans voice calling on the tele-
phone at Bigelow's home today said
the speaker was one of those who were
in the kidnapping party, and that the
protestations of loyalty made by Mr..
Bigelow today are accepted at their
face value, and that Mr. Bigelow is
free to remain in this vicinity, subject
to his remaining loyal in the future" "
Attorney Edward Alexander, one Of
the counsel for Bigelow, has offered a
reward of $500 for the arrest and con-
viction Of any or all persons connected
with the Kidnapping and whipping.
Investigations are under way and
friends of the pastor of the peoples
church say the guilty person, if caught
will be prosecuted.
Bigelow, in writing Of his kidnap-
ping, said he could not recognize any
member of the band
Mr.. Bigelow's own statement, writ
ten last night at Florence, KY, bears
out the earlier story Of the abduction
and whipping He added, however,
that previous to being taken into the
woods he had been blindfolded, and
when the party alighted preparatory
to going into the woods, a bag was
thrown over his head, and he had no
idea of the location or the direction IN
which he was being led.
He also stated that oil was poured
over his head after the lashes were
administered
In a statement issued this morning
Bigelow stated that owing to the men
"wearing long white robes" ne was
unable to recognize any of his abduc-
tors. He stated that he did not know
the men who seized him in front OF tne
hall in Newport, but at the time asked
where he was to be taken and received
the answer "To headquarters"
Mr.. Bigelow, in his statement said
that he was under the impression that
he was being arrested by government
secret service men,. and that ne made
no resistance.

hogs and still more hogs as the
quickest and surest way of in
creasing the nations supply.

money!" the statement says.
He requires less labor, less equip

There is no animal which pro-

g G.. Geiger Says His Wife Suffered
With Rheumatism for Years Tanlac
Entirely Overcomes Trouble.

Tanlac has not only relieved my
wife of very severe attack Of rheu-

Is pounds since she began taking the
medicine, said Mr.. g. g. Geiger, re-
siding at 1888 East Linden Street, At
lanta, Ga, for a number of years
employed as engineer by the Georgia
railroad.
I don't believe ever saw anyone
suffer with rheumatism as much as
she did continued Mr.. Geiger in his
statement to the Tanlac represen-
tativs. Sometimes her feet would
swell 50 she couldn't get her shoes
on. The pains in her arms were so
great at times she would remark
that they felt like they were about
to drop of. She had severe head
aches and was dizzy and nervous all
the time and unable to sleep well at
night. Her appetite failed her and
she lost great deal in weight and
strength. She sometimes got SO bad
off she would have to go to bed and
stay for weeks at time. When she
wasn't in bed she felt so tired and
played out see was never able to look
after her housework.
She tried all kinds of medicine but
nothing seemed to do her much
good and when began to hear 80
much talk about Tanlac, just made
up my mind to lay all the other med
icines aside and put her on Tanlac.
She has mas now finished her
fourth bottle and she is like a diff
erent woman. The rheumatism has
been entirely relieved she doesn't
have the headache anymore is no
longer nervous like she used to be
and sleeps like baby. She has q
spleudid appetite and has been gain

and as / have already told You she
has gained twenty five pounds. She
is full of life and energy now and is
looking after the homework like she
hadn't ever been sick.

CONFERENCE ADVISES
TAKING COUNTY SUPER.
|NTENDANTS OUT Of POL
|T|CS.


At the recent meeting of the
state high school conference at
the university resolution was
passed that a committee be ap-
pointed to represent the confer
ence in the agitation for a change
in the organization of the ad-
ministrative units of education in
Mississippi, to call attention to
needed changes in the district
system which this state still has
and to cooperate with the efforts
of other educational organlza-
tions to take the Office of coun
ty superintendents out of poll
tics and place it on a profession
al basis. At the last meeting of
the Teachers Association the pre-
convention meeting of superin-
tendents, principals and teach
ers went on record as being in
favor of making a change in the
method of electing the county
superintendent, and this ques.
tion will very probably be before
the next legislature.
There is no topic of wider dis
cussion in educational circles in
Mississippi today and the report
of the committee, which was u
unanimously adopted by the con-
ference, follows:
Whereas, the development of
the public school system of Miss
issippi is greatly handicapped by
the fact that the Office of county
superintendent of educa tion is a
political rather than a profession
al position and
Whereas, the school district
system that prevails in this
state initiates against the prop
er organization and admins
tration of the public schools of
the various counties therefore be
it.
Resolved. by the high school
conference assembled at the Uni
versity Of Mississippi, That we
favor such changes as will bring
about the following results:
"First-The removal of the
county superintendent of edu-
cation from politics in so far as
possible and the establishment of
this Office on the basis cf pro-
fessional efficiency.
Second--The abolition of the
district trustee system and the
establishment of the public
schools on the basis of the coun-
ty unit system of administration.
