U. S. GOVERNMENT EXHIBIT

Mississippi Centennial Exposition
when Congress passed a bill orderinl
the great exhibit in California sent t.
Mississippi and appropriated $75.OOt
for the purpose OF transporting, In
stalling and maintaining IT. BY thb
act national endorsement was givel
the project.
The people OF Mississippi might bt
interested to know that this exhibit is
the result of years of work and cost
the better part of q million dollars.
1t Is really an exposition In itself; 35,
600 square feet OF floor space will be
required to take care of It, Every
department of the federal government
will be represented.
II will be even better than the one
out west. Several departments will
be greatly improved and at least two
added. Large models of the latest war
vessels will be sent to take the place
of those now out of date. The agri.
cultural exhibit will be greatly In
creased and that of the Interior De
rartment worked over and brought up
to date.
II is contemplated to bring the ex
hibit to Gulfport by Government
barge after the closing at San Diego
and store In large building where
it can be worked over and added to
by the opening day in December next
year
Mississippians have cause to feel
grateful toward Congress for the con
sideration shown by bringing this
great exhibit here and affording to
our people an opportunity of seeing 1t
and understanding better the methods
employed by Uncle Sam in handling
the affairs OF great nation.
Faint heart never won fair lady, nor
will backwardness on the part of the
people of Mississippi ever get for
them what they deserve.

II We Would but Conserve the Waste

If every worthless dog in the
United States were a hog, the mat
ter of Germany nor Mexico, or
probably any other country would
be a small worry to us.
Had you ever figured that it
takes almost as much to feed a dog
as it does hog
Have you either on your place |?
If you are in the least concerned
make an investigation and see.
A family living near Corinth
had no dogs. The husband was a
laboring man. They had a good
sixed fami!y-an average. So
their meat bill was somsthing
enormous. They had never raised
hogs until last year, when they
decided to get two. They fed
those hogs on what was wasted at
the table during the day, until JUST
a few weeks before killing time,
when, of course, it was necessary
to buv some extra feed. Their
hogs made enough meat to last
them fully one half of the year,
and perhaps longer, averaging
something like 200 or $50 pounds
each. Ordinarily, these same
scraps would have been used in
feeding dog. and after they had
fed il one year, or even a lifetime,
may be, what would it have amount
ed to in dollars and cents to this
family. who had to take advantage
of every opportunity in order that
the income would balance with the
cost Of living f-Corinthian.

the Scholar.
Mississippi has had no dearth
of scholars-lawyers, doctors,
statesmen. preachers. At one
time this state had eight sons in
the United States Senate-a
greater number than could be
found of the native sons of any
other state. This was concentra-
ted scholarship. This was the
fruit of former systems of educa-
tion-when the scholar was the
most desireable product We had
not yet seen the vision of univer-
sal education. Neither can we
see it until we dismiss it from
scholarship.
Mississippi has suffered and is
suffering from a lack of the dis
tribution of education-of that
education which means efficiency
for the masses. When we get
that general distribution we will
of necessity have general prosper
ity. Now we are going through
the re-adjusting period. We are
getting our new adjustment on
what il means to be educated.
We are learning to emphasizc the
necessity of the great number of
boys and girls who may complete
the High School. and never go
any farther. Their needs and
their wants are our care. We are
thinking of the boys and girls
who will never get beyond the
common school so far as schools "
go, but may go far beyond so far
as education goes. We are plann-
ing for the adults who cannot read
or write. Our plans go out for
the fellow who cannot earn. And
we are to reach the man who can
earn, but not save-even it we
must reach him through his boy.
There is the one who can save but
can not invest. for further profits.
We must help him. The new

The farmers do not raise any
vegetables now because they know
they can't sell them. Because BY
the time they get to town the
vegetables will all be dried up and
OF course no one wants them. If
we had good roads the farmers
could raise nice vegetables and
bring them to town IN few min

One reason why we could have

GO0D ROADS.
By Elizabeth Mcdonald 18th Grade
President Grammar School Class.

This great question is beina
talked and argued about every
| where and is one of the greatesl
Questions that has ever been
known.
Good roads would be a great
benefit to everyone living in the
community, especially to the tarn--
ers.
The great Southern Railway
runs through our town and II we
had good roads the farmers could
bring their produce to the station
and ship it. But as it is the farm
srs cannot even cross the road TO
go and visit their neighbors with
out gettiug in mud UP to their
ankles.
Tishomingo county is the most
illiterate county in the State ano
that is one reason we have such
bad roads, for you know that no
one but an ignorant person wou d
speak against building up the COM
munity in which he lives.
Some of the farmers say, we
are not able" but if they only
knew how much they would profit
by good roads, I don't think that
they would object at all.
Oh if these people of Tisho-
mingo county could only realize
what a great benefit good roads
would mean to us they would try
and help the ones who are willing
One reason why SO many people
object to this question is because
they have never seen any good
roads and can't imagine how they
look. Besides they never care tc
see any.
1 There is no reason on earth in
having our county spoken of as
the most illiterate county in tht
State, when if everyone would helr
we could make "Old Tishomingo'
county blossom like a rose and
have it spoken of as one of the
foremost counties instead Of the
most illiterate.
If we can only get the greai
Muscle Shoals Highway" we
just can't imagine how much il
will mean to us, and we can have
it if only we help, but everyone
has got to do his part.
Just think of the poor childier
that have to walk tosschool through
this deep mud. Why when they
reach school they are completely
exhausted and can't concentrate
their minds on their books fol
thinking of the mud they have tt
go through going home. Now. j
we had good roads these childrei
could come tn school in one-thire
of the time they now come in am
could study and think about th
the pleasant walk to go home.

PRODIGAIS.

The sky blue and crimson glowed ihe forest,
The goldenrod a flaming flower burned
The harvest from the fields well-nigh garnercd;
When home the weary prodiga returned.
And all the love that had for years been holden
Went to greet the careless hayward boy
Forgiveness and feast spread before him,
The wine of welcome filled the cup of joy
They kissed the prodigal, their waYward boy.
The winter sky dark, aud clouds of ashen
Went hurrying through the cold and st ,rmy night,
When past the snowdrifts deep and chilly barrier
The wayward girl returned in direst plight
And from her wan aud ggard face they turned them
And closed the homestead door upon her shame
To persing wind they left her 10 to cover,
Beneath the eaden sky to bear the blame
They spurned the wayward girl with cries of Shame

State Agent and Assistant Direc
tor of Extension Work in Missis-
lippi.
To improve the livestock crop
of the state, "a jacks. IS pure bred
stations, and l67 brood mares
were imported in 1916 as result
of the advice of county agents.
Following the advice of Il e
county demonstrators, the far.
mers of the state imported last
year 80 pure bred bulls and 2l7
cows and heifers for the improve
ment of their dairy herds.
Wheat is beginning to take a
prominent part in diversification
in Mississippi, 50 farmers having
grown S35 acres under the direc-
ton of county agents, with yield
of about 21 bushels to the acre
last summer.
Mississippi made an excellent
beginning in the beef cattle indus.
try last year, by importing 45l
bulls and 689 cows and heifers Of
the standard breeds, and liza
grade cows as the foundation Of
1872 new herds.
That 222 farmers cooperating
with county agents raised 6,265
acres of oats with an average
yield of -32.5 bushels per acr,
shows that this crop is coming
into its own not only as forage
crop, but cash crop substitute
for cotton.
Red clover is coming into popu-
lar favor among the farmers Of
Mississippi, statistics from Is
farms showing ,139 acres planted
this winter, as compared wits.
1854 acres, last winter. The 1916
crop yielded an average of Is
tons an acre, with a grazing value
Of Si1.24 a ton.
Fourteen. thousand nine hum
dred acres Of lespedeza were
planted on 162 Mississippi farms
under the direction of county
agents last ping. This was an
increase of almost 800 per cent
over the 1915 crcp, which amount
led to 5.092 acres. The average
yield was LII tons to the acre,
valued at S2o.41 ton.
1t is fact worthy of note that
on the farms cooperating with the
| county agents the yield of corn
and cotton were practically double
the average for the state. the corn
yield being 37.41 bushels an acre,
against sn average of less than
20 bushels an acre for the state,
and the yield of seed cotton being
1885 pounds to the acre against
an average of about 800 pounds
for the state.
In cooperation with the state
livestock sanitary board and the
u S Bureau of Animal Industry,
the demonstrators in the various
counties last year inoculated So
500 head of cattle for blackleg,
1888 for anthrax, tested 420 for
tuberculosis, and superintended
the dipping of 56,1o7 for ticks.
During the same time they inocu-
lated and treated an aggregate OF
over $50, 900 hogs for hog cholc a,
worms, lice, mango, and~digestive
troubles. and over $4,000 horses
for charbon, distemper. accidental
injuries, and digestive troubles.
