JOHANNA
(ONCE MORE)

Johanna had read the
Apocalypse and thought that
pretty wonderful. But the
soldiers drums and bugles
beat the Apocalypse for Jo-
hanna when she came to
know them.
The sight and polite atten-
ton of the soldiers made JO-
hanna learn to wash her face
and hands twice a day, and
even think about taking a
milk bath, recommended by
French actresses. The Apoe-
alypse had never produced
this effect on Johanna.
In this picture on the right
you see Johanna with an or
binary private soldier pro-
tecting her from wrong.

penalizing active men and
active business.

IN MEMORY

Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Savell
was born the 4th day of April,
1916, the daughter of John and
Elener Smith.
She spent almost her entire
life in Neshoba County, Miss,
and in 1867 she was married to
Hillen Savell, who preceded her
to the grave some IA years.
In her early life, some fifty
years ago she joined :he Good
Hope Missionary Baptist church
and remained devoted and con.
secrated member of that faith
until her death on Dec. %, 1915.
For many years prior to her
death, she was a faithful mem
ber of Pearl Valley church in
Beat 5, of Neshoba County, and
on Sunday December %, 1916, in
the presence of large concourse
of loving friends and relatives
she was laid to rest by the side
of her husband in Pearl Valley
cemetery, a spot she loved so
we'll and one sacred to her on
account of the many incidents in
her life enacted there.
1t was indeed sad to her loved
ones to have to give her up at a
time when the whole world was
filled with spirit of Joy and
gladness, but a beautiful thought
took away part of the sting when
we realized that on the day of
the celebration of our Blessed
Savior that she could lay hor tri-
butte in person at His feet around
the Great White Throne.
Mrs. Savell left surviving her
nine children, Pliny Savell, Hen
ry Savell, Mrs. Rebecca Smith,
Sim Savell, Mrs. Pinkie Hill,
Charlie Savell, DR.. jeff Savell
besides a large number of other
relatives in this county, who
mourn her absence but who real.
ize that our loss is her eternal
gain.

OHIO WANTS NO NEGRO
MIGRATION.

Geo. z. Miles, member of the
Ohio industrial commission has
written letter to Commissioners
Of Agriculture Garner which is
quoted:
The superintendent Of our
free employment Offices through
out the state are in receipt of
numerous complaints from work
men who state that they have
been induced to come North up
on a promise of good wages and
cheap lodging by unscrupulous
private employment agencies,
We find that when they arrive,
many are without funds and find
that there is no work for them
together with having to become
Injured to climate conditions all
together, which is q very unde
sirable state of affairs with which
our state is compelled to cope,
am writing to ask your COZ .oper.
alton In this matter, by trying tc
: prohibit the migration of these
men by giving this matter great
publicity through your papers
and by watching the employment
agencies closely and notifying
the workmen that before coming
north they should first write q
letter of inquiry concerning EN-.
ployment and be sure that they
have a job to go to before coming
here.

STOP THE LEAKE IN
FARM BUSINESS.

An inventory taken once a
year will show the net worth
of the farm. BY comparing
these inventories from year to
year the exact progress of the
business can be found. Many
times farmer feels discouraged
at the end of the year because
his cash is short when an inven-
tory taking in growing stock
crops, and unsold products would
show that he had made a nice
profit for the year.
In taking inventory the farmer
must go over all of his property
at least once a year. In this
way his attention is called to the
condition of his stock, machinery
or supplies, to needed repairs
and to missing tools that have
been borrowed and not returned.
Anytime before the rush of work
starts is d good time to go over
the farm property and make
this list. The next step in stop
ping the leaks in the farm bust.
ness is to keep a record Of re,
ceipts and expenses of the farm
throughout the year. From
these and the inventory the farm
er can figure not only his net
worth but the profits and losses
as we'll.

THE TORRENS SYSTEM
IS NOT AN EXPERIMENT.

Don't get the idea that the
Torrens system of land title regis
tration is an experiment. 1t is
not. 1t is a thoroughly tested
and established system. 1t has
been adopted in one form OF
another by fourteen states, is In
force in Porto Rico, Hawaii and
the PHILIPPINES, in Australia,
New Zealand and Tasmania, in
parts of Canada and in a modi.
fed form in England. 1t has
been upheld by the courts OF
every state in which it has been
questioned.
There is nothing visionary,
impractical or risky about it II
is simply an uptodate business
like method of recording and
transferring land titles. The
only people who can reasonably
oppose it are the ones who profit
by uncertainties of title and
land litigation and that class OF
ultra-conservatives OF whom it
has been said that "they are
afraid to sweep down the cob.
webs lest the roof should fall. -
