Wheat.-Prices developed pronounced
buoyancy, closing 2l4c to 4c higher.
There was quite general buying. with
evidences of Wall Street operations
suggesting that confidence in values
had been restored For some time
past the trade at large, while taking
a bullish view of the supply and de-
mand situation, has been showing
hesitation about taking an aggressive
stand on the buying side. due 10 the
unsettled political situation and the
fears that U-boat operations would
curtail exports. But as losses to the
shipping trade as result OF subma-
rnes during the last few days have
fallen off materially, the impression
seems to be gaining ground that the
Allies have the situation well IN hand.
Additional tonnage has been secured
through the charterlng of neutral yes
sells for the transportation OF wheat
to Europe. and a large movement IS
anticipated. At the same time sup
plies Of wheat here are steadily dwln-
ding. B. W. Snow issued report
Yesterday. in which he placed the farm
reserves at only 98,000.000 bushels of
wheat. compared with last years gov
eminent figures of 24l,717,000 bushels.
This. he figured, will leave only 49,
600 900 bushels available to meet eX-
port requirements for the next four
months and for the carry-over at the
end of the present session. A promi-
nent Chicago firm placed the condition
of winter wheat at S0.2 per cent, or a
loss of per cent from last December.

the wool auction sales to-day amounted
TO 400 bales. There was a strong
demand, and the auctions closed firm

mos were often 10 per cent up. Fears
of a shortage Of future supplies caused
the keen demand during the sales, and
practically all the available quantity

held over.

$4,000 For a Farm Plan.

It is easy to plan an ideal farm
if lots of capital is counted on, yet
by making such plans of their own
farms some Mississippi farm fam
lilies will win $4,000 in cash this
year.
In farming as in other businesses
borrowed money can be used to
increase profits. On the other
hand, no money should be borrow
ed until clear cut plans have been
made for using it.
To stimulate wide, safe use of
the credit that will be made avail
able by the Federal Farm Loan
Law, Mr.. George r. James, of
Memphis, is offering through the
Farm Management Extension Div
ision of the Mississippi A. andM. I.
College, two hundred dollars for
the best plan for using the money
that the farmer can borrow under
this new Law. The first prize will
be $4,000; the second, $4,000 +;
third $50. 90; fourth $1,000. These
prizes do not go to the men alone.
Both the women and children may
come in for a share.
Complete information will be
given by the Farm Management
Department, Agricultural College,
Mississippi.

EDITED BY W. S. BROWN.

Everybody wants Good Roads
but cannot stand small tax. Now
the men that pay the tax usually
are for roads or for improvements
that are permanent. The men
who use the roads most are for
good roads. The man who has no
care for roads usually has nothing
to care for. We arc ready for
roads. Ten or fifteen years ago
we could find fault, but today we
need better roads. We are sell
ing everything that can be raised
on the farm. The Railroads are
overrun and it's up to us to build
roads to be used. We can make
things hum in this county if we
get roads We need an all year
round road. We need all the good
things that come with good roads.
We have lost the best men we had
in this county for no other reason
than that the county did not i'm
prove with the times. All the
men that went from here to Texas,
Arkansas and to other places come
back and say they like here but
they like their roads and improved
farms much better. We are go
ing to still lose the most enter
prising men if we don't build our
county up with other counties.
We need more people in this coun
ty, but you can't get them here,
unless it's after dark, and then,
when daylight comes, they are
ready to go. We need something
in the county to point to with
pride and say we are on the road
to progress. It's good business to
build up, it's good sense to keep
building up. You can't stand still.
You either go forward or back
ward. You cannot get on the
fence-it's one side or the other.
Let's get on the building up side
and stay there. And let's do it
now.

The Patriotism of the American
Press.

The service rendered to the Gov
ernment of the United States in
the sale of the Liberty Loan Bonds
of 1917 by the press Of the coun-
| try is record evidence of the gen.
erous patriotism Of the newspaper
men of America. 1t is recorded
in the pages of thousands of Amer
lean newspapers many of them
printed in foreign anguages, from
the largest daily to the smallest
country weekly. The newspapers
ofthe country scame across with
liberal donations of space in news,
editorial and advertising columns.
| Newspaper men have observed
with deep and peculiar pleasure
the whole-hearted activity of the
men of their fraternity in the
country In promoting the sale of
Liberty Loan Boaas. The infli-
ence and assistance of all publi-
ications in making the loan sue
coss are simply incalculable. Their
efforts greatly contributed to max
ing it double success in that it
was not only largely oversub
scribed but the Liberty Loan
Bonds we're placed in every COM
munity in the United States, in
cities and in remote country dis
tricts, in mining towns and manu-
featuring centers, among farmers
and country merchants as we'll as
city bankers and large commercial
and manufacturing houses.
| 1t was great educational cam
paign. Readers of their county
paper in their country homes, and
new American citizens from pa
lpers printed in their old language,
and others just learning our lam
lguage, who in the evening spelled
out the news in the great daily
papers, were informed of the pur-
poses and objects of the Liberty
Loan and instructed in the nature,
value and terms of Government
Bonds, especially the Liberty Loan
Bonds of 1917. The whole Nation
has made long stride forward in
financial education through the
Liberty Loan campaign of 1917 as
conducted through the press of the
country.
: The country press which with
out compensation gave literally o.
its limited space is equally deserv
ing of praise with the larger pa
pers. In their respective sphere
d all classes of pub ications in tn,

d Loan as great public service
