DROVE HUSBAND OFF?
Mrs. Charles Helwig Brings Unusual
Suit Against Insurance Co.

Mrs. Charles r. Helwig, of 1915
West Sixteenth street, has filed suit
in the district court against the Ma
tional Industrial Insurance company
and Frank s. Thomas, an officer, for
$4,000 damages, alleging that the in
surance company is responsible for
the disappearance of her husband.
Helwig, she says, disappeared July
II, 1912, and since that time she has
been compelled to take in washings
to support herself.
In her position Mrs. Helwig states
that Helwig was general agent for the
insurance company, stationed at Kan
saS City, Mo, and that for three years
the company did business in that
state without a license. After find
ing that the company was liable to
prosecution, she says, its officers ad-
Vised Helwig to leave for parts I'M
known in order to shut off a source
of evidence. Helwig, she indicates,

has not seen him since. She asks for
total of $4,000. Frank Thomas,

Hazlehurst and Crystal Springs
have passed rigid laws regarding au-
tomobiles. One town in the State
has raised all street crossings SIX
inches in order to prevent fast riding.
These precautions are becoming so
necessary that in few years the
public highways will be built to pre-
vent speeding. The automobile
drivers are responsible for these re-
strictions: not all of them are reck-
less, but enough TO endanger life To
such an extent that measures Will
have to be taken to prevent accident.
The public has been long suffering;
juries acquit those who carelessly
kill or MAIN pedestrians, and the
recklessness continues, says the Port
Gibson Revelle. We believe an as
ISOLATION of auto owners, which en-
deavor to bring to justice every reck-
less driver, would do much to stem
the growing determination to pro-
tect the public even to the extent, II
necessary, of destroying the useful
ness of this great machine .-Green-

Printed Letter Heads.

w. F. Massey discourses sensibly
in the following communication to
The Progressive Farmer:
"When I get letter from q farmer
written in ink on printed letter head
l assume at once that here is q read
ing man and an intelligent farmer,
and much the contrary is the impress
sion when / get a letter scrawled in
pale pencil on dark poor paper which
makes it hard for old eyes to read.
Then another advantage in the print
ed letter head, especially when the
letter is from business man. Is that
many of these businesses make their
ner, and but for the printed name at
top could hardly know to whom to
send the reply. One can guess at
good deal in any ones letter. but can
not guess at a signature that is I'M
readable"
The Progressive Former adds i'm
portance to this subject in the fol-
lowing words:
Suppose you are wanting hogs or
chickens of some particular breed.
You look over the ads, and write two
parties who have what you need. ask
ing for prices, etc. One answer comes
written in lead pencil. on plain cheap
paper; the other man writes you on
neatly printed letter head, which
gives the name of his farm, shows cuts
of the kind of stock he keeps and
looks business like. Which letter APP
peals to you most? Which man do
you Immediately feel most inclined to
deal with?
"Others will judge your letters, why
not be up-tO-date, have suitable
name for your farm, neatly printed
letter paper and envelopes and get
busineSs?'
The business world demands that
business people attend to business
according to business standards and
not in the old way, in which chaos
and not system ruled. Every far
mer who has any dealings with the
public ought to read what Mr.. Mas
sey has said and equip himself with
up-to-date correspondence accessor-
les. In this way only can he COM
mand the attention of business peO-
pie. Printed stationery costs little
more than the imprinted, and in
some cases less.
The Weekly office would be glad
to quote prices to the farmers on
printed stationery.

ton and send us an order or enquiry

The United States Supreme
Court has sustained the Web
Kenyon law. This means that
liquor shipments into dry states
will be restricted or actually pro-
hibited accordingly as the stat
utes of the dry states prescribe. =
Probably every dry state will
speedily enact laws prohibiting
liquor shipments into them from
wet territory. Some of these
states already have such laws.

No Extra Session Needed.

1t is currently w h Spere d
throughout the State that Gov.
Bilbo seriously cOntemplates con-
vening the legislature in extraor-
binary session within the next
ninety days.
The legislation desired TO be
enacted is to amend the present
whiskey laws of Mississippi SO as
to prohibit the bringing OF any
spirituous liqnors into the State.
Such legislation would become
operative under tine recent deCiS
ion of the United States Supreme
Court which has just sustained a
provision of that kind in the or
gaic law of West Virginia.
Without commenting on the
merits of absolute prohibitive
shipping of intOXiCants into this
State, The Weekly desires to pro-
test against the assembling of the
legislature in extra session this
year. Whatever benefits might
result from enactment of such a
law, could in feeble wise measure
up to the expense of cOnvenlng
the legislature in extraordinary
session, which would, possibly
cost the people of the State more
than $4,000.
At no time in the history of the
State have the people been less
prepared to have this unneCeS
sary expense forced upon them.
The legislature meets in regu-
lar session in less than a year. Ii
such legislation is to be enacted,
it could be done then. We have
restricting whiskey laws in force
now which keep most of the peO-
pie sober. If they are to be de-
MED even the smell of whiskey''
let them approach that condition
gently. If the assembling of the
legislature is to be play to the
prohibition sentiment of the PEG.
pie of Mississippi, it will fail to
deceive anyone as it ought to.

The Memphis Commercial APP
peal very sensibly and truly says:

Admittedly the newspaper is the
best medium of advertising. 1t
reaches more people than can pos
sibly be reached by the bill board.
1t concentrates the possibilities of
bringing before prospective buyers
the things they want and the best
methods and means of getting them.
Besides this, if the newspapers
used as the medium has the pat
ronage of the public. it also has
its confidence and this adds
weight to the advertisement aside
from the publicity given.
