Extra Session.

One of the matters the law max
ers will be called upon while in ex-
ira session to care for will be the
formation of a new National Guard
to act as home guard until after
the present emergency when the reg
ular guardsmen return. As a mat
ter of course it is going to be neces-
sary for the State to establish an
internal police and this body. start
ing as militia will be organized and
trained in arms so as to be able to
handle any internal smer gency
that may arise.
1t is also planned to take steps to
reorganize the State Council of De-
Tense and give it official recognition.
This has been done in other states.
The Council of Defense was organic
ed in Jackson some weeks ago and
has for its object the conservation
of the food supply, the production
of more crops. handling of the trans
portation problem, etc.
1t is also deemed probable that
the governor will propose a statute
that will make it possible for the
Mississippi soldiers to vote while in
France OF elsewhere on duty.
Meantime just what may happen
in the matter of raising tax assess
ments is unknown. In the month
of August the supervisors of the
various counties set to eQualize as
sessmonts, and for some time the
State Tax Commission has been
preaching the doctrine of 100 pei
cent. assessment, declaring that such
an assessment will not work q hard
ship on any one and will materially
increase the revenues of the various
counties and will operate to allow
State and counties to lower the as
L
sessments. The boards will all meet
next Monday and it is thought that
in most of the counties 100 per cent.
assessments will be made. 1t is
not known just what attitude the
legislature is going to take on the
matter, and while the 100 per cent.
plan is being urged to a large ex-
tent. it is said that a good deal OF
opposition to it has already devel-
oped.
OF the above reasons for calling
the legislature in extra session, we
cannot see in any of them or all OF
them the pressing necessity. We
do not believe the interests of the
State will suffer to let these matters
go over to January when the legis-
lature will conyene in regular ses-
sion and thus save the expense OF
an extra session.-Winona Times.
The Aberdeen weekly. [volume] (Aberdeen, Miss.) 1878-1933, 1917-08-10

for these ratiOns, as we'll as much OF
the money spent by the soldiers per-
sonally, will go right straight into
the pockets of the Southern people.
The building of the cantonments
alone is a big item of profit for the
Southern supply market. Each sep
arate cantonment calls for 26 600. 900
feet lumber, $4,000 squares roofing,
one car load roofing nails, twenty
car loads other nails and hardware,
twenty car loads plumbing. 1872 car
loads tanks. heaters; stoves, refrig-
orators, ranges, piping. electrical
material, railway material for five
miles of track, thirty car loads ties,
twenty car loads spikes, rails and
fishplates, LA car loads ballast, ten
car loads electric light poles. wires
and insulators, seventy car loads
cement, $50 car loads stone, 175
car loads sand.
Southern farmers and truckers
are straining to produce a bumper
crop this year-or, to be more cor
rect, series of crops They are do
ing it largely from motives of pride
and patriotism. They are striving
not only to feed themselves and
their soldier boy guests" but also
help feed the world.
At the same time the actual prof
fit will be theirs. Everything they
produce they will sell at good prices,
prices far beyond their fOndest
dreams of few years ago.
Thousands of Southern acres are
producing this year that never felt
the tickle of the plow before. Fruits
and vegetables that in previous years
were allowed to lie on the ground
and rot are being canned and pre-
served. The words of Herbert Hoov-
er, Americans new food commits
sioner. Save the waste and win the
war; is the Southern slogan.
The result of this extraordinary
activity in Dixieland and the pres
ence in few days of so many SOL
diers as table boarders" at Uncle
Sans expense, will have a marked
effect upon the South. 1t will make
money flow like water! Even now
the South is well off, and has been
for years. Her people have money
to burn Prosperity is rampant.
"One of the strongest proofs OF
that condition ts shown in the re-
cent discontinuance of magazine
advertising that has been done for a
number of years by a we'll known

AUTO OVERTURNED.
Driver in Hospital and His Companion
Arrested.

Burlington, June 26.--James Mccarthy
of SO Lafountain street is at the Mary
Fletcher hospital with severe injuries to
his head, and Harry R. Brown of rs Mon
roe street is under $50 bail, as the result
of an automobile episode yesterday aft
ernoon, which resulted in the Ford de-
livery truck of the city electric light de-
partment being towed back to Buriing-
ton from the Malletts Bay road in bad
ly damaged condition. Both men are
electricians in the employ of the city
lectric light department.
Mccarthy had been sent out by SUI
perintendent Walter Belding of the
light department with the Ford truck
about 4 o'clock. Brown had been sent
out earlier in the afternoon to do some
work and had not reported back at the
Office. just where the men met is not
known, but they both appeared at
Browns home shortly after o'clock and
and told Mrs. Brown that they were
not yet through for the day.
The accident occurred on the Malletts
Bay road near the sehoolhouse. Accord
ing to Brown, he was asleep on the floor
of the truck, and was only awakened
when it turned turtle. flinging him out.

SINGING on CARPET.

Standing upon carpet has tendency
to mufie the voice, since a layer of
inelastic and nonconducting material
is then interposed between the seat OF
voice production and the floor, which,
when 1t is not covered, acts as sound
board, taking up the vibrations and
giving increased effect and distinctness
to them. This can be illustrated by
placing a timepiece first upon rug or
carpet and then upon the bare floor.
In the latter position the ticking is
much louder, because the vibrations of
the clock are then much more forcibly
communicated TO the floor and so to
the air Of the room and finally to the
ear by actual contact between the
clock and the floor. A carpet damps
or kills these vibrations because it is a
bad conductor of sound. The differ
ence, which is so audible In this case.
is in some degree to be detected when
the voice is heard under similar con-
ditionA.

COST TO BRITAIN.
Daily Expenditure Is Increasing Quite
Rapidly.

London, June 26.-The total national
expenditure for the nine weeks from De-
| tober to December last was on a
daily average of 6,6l5,000 pounds, says
statement in detail prepared by An
drew Bonar Law, the chancellor of the
exchequer, for the House OF Commons.
For the five weeks from April | to
May s. 1917, the statement shows the
daily average of expenditure was 7,91l,-
600 pounds, while for the five weeks from
Nav g TO June 0 it was ,532 900 pounds.
For the ten weeks from April to
June the expenditure is shown TO have
averaged 7,752,000 pounds.
For the respective periods set forth
the actual war expenditure daily, the
chancellor states, was 5,7l4,000 pounds,
7.457 900 pounds, 5,9S9,000 pounds and
6,723,O0O pounds.
The increase in expenditure for army,
service says the statement, is in part
attributed to payments and advances
which are ultimately recoverable. The
expenditure for munitions was affected
by temporary causes, such as more rap
id delivery made ON the termination of
certain orders, but notwithstanding this
the chancellor fears there will be some
excess. under the heads of army and mu
nitions, over the figures of the budget
estimate.
Regarding loans to the allies, contin-
ues the statement. the government was
still liable during the opening weeks of
the current year to fulfill commitments [
before the entry of America into the war.
The advantage of Americas entrance, he !
explained, was now being felt.
The growth of the miscellaneous ex-
the statement adds, was due I
among other things to charges for land
and sea transport. including the purchase
Of ships and food supplies and 20 the
charges for war pensions, which are now
$3.50. 600 600 weekly and which are con-
tinuing to expand.

Varieties Of Bananas.

To most persons in the temperate
zones banana is a banana. But the
truth Is that there are over sixty
known varieties Of the fruit, with as
great or greater variation In character
as the different kinds of apples. Ha-
wall Is said to have something over
forty distinct varieties Of the fruit,
most Of which have been introduced by
the whites. Some Of these are of ex-
tremely delicate and delicious favor,
while other kinds are used, If at all,
only when cooked In various ways.
There Is scarcely a city house lot or
country ''kulcana" or homestead which
does not have a clump or two OF ba-
nanas, which grow with practically no
care, new plants or suckers shooting
out to replace the ones which have
fruited and been removed.

confined to the house as the result of
serious accident in which she was Sc
verely injured recently. The accident
occurred Thursday, but Mrs. Mclean is
still unable to move about freely, and
some time may elapse before she makes
any material progress. The woman was
a guest of Mrs. A. NJ. Morrison at her
home on South Main street. Hostess and
guest were seated on the veranda, when
Mrs. Mclean entered the hallway of the
house to get package. Unwittingly she
opened the door leading to the basement
instead of the dining room and without
warning was precipitated to the base of
the stairs. She did not lose conscious
ness, but the suddenness of her plunge
into the dark cellar had somewhat par
alyzing effect. DIR. w. E. Lazell was
called, and his treatment included the
taking of ten stitches in the woman's |
head. One of Mrs. McLean's arms was
badly wrenched, and the fall caused a
number of flesh bruises.
