Dipping Watts Are Dynamited.

Leading citizens of the state were
deeply stirred over report reaching
the office of the attorney general and
that of the commissioner Of agricult-
ure that two or three of the recently
completed concrete dipping watts in
Simpson county have been destroyed
by dynamite. DR.. Chadwick, chief in
spector for the live stock sanitary
board, has gone to the scene of the
trouble.
Simpson is one of those counties
caught in the dragnet of the statewide
dipping law, and it is understood that
there has been considerable opposi-
ton manifested On the part of good
many citizens of the county. 1t was
not supposed, however, that this oppo-
sition would develop into such law
lessness. There are men now in the
penitentiary because of their activi-
ties along this line, and a good many
others have been heavily fined for
dynamiting dipping watts. Both the
state of Mississippi and the United
States government is behind this dpi-
ping vat proposition. and prosecution
will be vigorous.

CT the ancient pile they are repairing.
The structure was not built for per-

PrickIy Pear Makes Fodder.

The utilization of the prickly pear in
the production of feeding cakes for
cattle is reported by the British and
gaging the attention of South African
agriculturists. For this purpose it is
said to have food values of high quail
ity. It's value was demonstrated dur
ing a recent drought, when only by its
use were the farmers able to keep
their cattle, sheep, goats and ostriches
alive. The result is that many are
now actually planting what they for
merly tried to eXterminate.

Land Commission Is Busy.

Demands for abstracts of title on
farms in this state, brought about by
the establishment of farm loan asso-
Citations, has caused the force Of the
state land office to be overtaxed with
work the last few weeks. State Land
Commissioners M. A. Brown has hired
extra help. but the burden is still too
great for his force.
The burning of many county court
houses in the state, with the destruc-
ton of records, has made the state
land office, in many instances, the
only available place for procuring val
liable information. It's records are
supposed to- be kept open, but Com
missioner Brown says he has in many
cases answered requests for records
on scores of tracts of property, the in
formation for which required great
deal of work to obtain.

CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me a small bottle of freezone.' y
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet OF
corns was introduced by Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries In
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
