CLUB BOYS VISIT
A. & M. COLLEGE

County Demonstration Agent, G..
C. Mingee, County Superintendent of
Education, T. M. Milan, and Super
intendent of the Tupelo City Schools,
J. C. Windham got the cooperation
of some of the car owners of Lee
county and cars were furnished for
carrying the boys through the coun-
try to the A. and M. College last
Friday. The sightseeing boys, num-
bering 81 with twenty old men along
also, left Tupelo Thursday morning
and arrived at the College that af-
ternoon. After getting dinner at
the college the boys were started on
sightseeing trip and went through
the Manual Training Department,
seeing the forge, foundry, and wood
shop and exhibit hall, then through
the Agricultural Engineering Depart
ment, ice plant, creamery and laun-
dry after which large number made
tour of the Experiment Station
Farm.
After making the above round the
boys were given supper in the Mess
Hall, after which a large number of
the boys went to Starkville to the
movies. Those who did not go to
town strolled around the Campus,
played games at the Y. M. c.. A.
building where they were served
with punch by Mr.. P. H.Sanders, the
State Pig Club Agent.
The night spent at the College
was one to be remembered by the
majority of the boys because it was
the first night some of the boys ever
spent in dormitory. The boys were
ready for finishing their sightseeing
the next morning and went to see
the dairy cattle, were taken through
the poultry yards by Prof. E. P.
Clayton, who gave them some of the
fundamental principles of poultry
farming. They then visited the hog
barn where they saw how the sows
and pigs are handled; then were car
ried to see the cattle and while at
the cattle barns they saw corn being
cut into silage. 1t was now time for
dinner, and after it was finished pic
lures were made of the boys and the
homeward journey commenced.
Some of the cars got back to Tupe-
10 about 5: P. NJ while some that
experienced some trouble did not get
in until around 500 P. NJ The trip
was thoroughly enjoyed by all and
some are ready to go again.

METHODS FOR MAKING A No. l

l-When to begin making.
1t is thought the best time to be-
gin making is when the seed are i'll
the dough stage as the cane will
yield more juice and make a better
grade of SYRUP
preparation of cane
Strip cane stalks Of all blades and
cut off the heads. Never grind cane
blades at all as the sap in the blades
destroys the quality of syrup, be-
sides the blades and heads are too
valuable for feed.
3-Filtration of juice and syrup.
Be sure to filter or strain your
juice well before cooking, and keep
your pan well skinned at all times
while cooking; and cook syrup to a
good heavy body Testing 81 degrees
before taking off your pan which in
sures 40 degree density when cold)
which is the required density for a
No. / syrup.
4-Grades.
No. l sorghum should be of good
heavy body Testing 40 degrees with
the hydrometer, cold) free from

40 degrees and not below 81 degrees,
tested with the hydrometer, cold
(b) or if dark and dreggy or if of
bad flavor. Sorghum packed in sec

dition to be reshipped will be grad
ed as No. 2. The price for No.

gallon less than for No. /. All 9TH

EXEMPTION BOARDS
URGED TO HURRY

The work of getting the first quota
OF the drafted men off to the train
ing camps is being delayed in many
instances by the failure of the local
and district boards in certifying the
names of those who have been called
to answer first. Adjutant General
Crowder has issued telegram in
which he is urging the boards to hur-
ry with their work so that there may
be no delay in the program which
has been advertised. General Crow
der says:
''You are hereby authorized to
employ and send out inspectors as
you may deem necessary to any and
all boards in which you think there
IS chance of delay in furnishing the
necessary contingents on Sept 10
and Oct. 3. These inspectors should
inquire into the state Of business
from such boards and make reports
to you in order that you may fix
responsibility and take the necessary
action. There is ample time for
these boards to accomplish the tasks
set for them by the dates named,
and delay can only be ascribed to
such delireliction of duty as de-
mands vigorous and prompt action,
in order that the total interest of
the nation may not suffer-"
Governor Bilbo calling attention to
the telegram of Gen. Crowder has
this to say in urging the local boards
to get busy and send in their lists:
Now, want to impress upon all
local and district boards the impera-
tive necessity of speeding up, if you
have not done so, the certifying lists
to the district boards, and to the dis
trict boards the Importance of ex-
| pending as much as possible the GER
tifying to the adjutant general and
local boards of the lists. Forty per
| cent of the states quota are to en-
train on Sept. 10 and 40 per cent on
| Oct. 3. In order that this percent
| age can be properly notified and be
| ready, urge that the local boards
send to the district boards the lists,
I as rapidly as possible, and to the ad-
I Jutant general, as required by the
regulations. | am anxious that Mis-
sissippi do not fall behind in this
matter and would dislike very much
to be called upon to investigate any
failure of boards to carry out the
regulations or to have the quota
ready.
81 also desire to say that those
local boards where the lists have
not been certified back to them by
the district boards by the 5th inst
so that they can entrain for Camp
Pike the five per cent can be sent
either on the 9Th, 7th, Sth or 9th,
if the lists are certified back to
them by that time"

Fifty-three years after it's capture
by Union soldiers, and after many
years effort to recover possession of
it, bullet-torn and battle-scared
Confederate flag has been returned
to the Second Tennessee cavalry, C.
S. A.
The flag was. received yesterday
morning by Col Harry Rene Lee of
210 Fall street, foreman of the
Baird Ward Printing Company, by
express from Frank S. Dickson, adj
jutant-general of the state of Illi-
nois
Presented to the Second Tennessee
cavalry, which was a part of For
rests command, by the ladies of Tu-
pelo, Miss, the flag is highly treas
ured as historic relic. 1t was
captured by an Illinois regiment on
Aug. 20, 1864, when the Second
Tennessee regiment charged the
State Female college at Memphis,
occupied by the union forces, and
was repulsed by deadly fire which
struck down Color Sergeant H. c..
Odom Many of the regiment were
killed and wounded in gallant but
futile effort to recover the fallen
colors. Following the retreat, the
flag was picked up by Corporal
Lockwood of the Illinois regiment and
has since reposed in the Memorial
hall at Springfield, Ill.
The flag is tattered and torn by
shot and shell and easily shows the
wear of age, and so far as known, is
the only Confederate flag in exist
ence which has only twelve stars.
Col. Lee says he supposes that it was
the state of Missouri that was left
out in the omission of the thir-
teenth star The old flag will remain
in the possession of Col. Lee until
the reunion at Fayetteville in Oc-
tober. when it will be turned over to
Major aneral Evander Shepard,
commanding Tennessee division U.
C. " and by him presented to Gov.
Tom G Rye, who will hold it in trust
pending the erection of the Sumner
Cur ingham memorial, where all
Confederate relics will finally rest.
History of Flag and Fight to Re-
cover it.
Fifty-three years ago today, Aug

losing AZ men, the union troops oc-
cupying the second and third stories
poured deadly fire upon the at
tackers. The regiment colors, pre-
sented by the ladies of Tupelo, Miss,
carried slightly to the front, be-
coming prominent target. Lieut.
enant Turrey and Private Jorn Har-
rell, in endeavoring to reach the
colors, were wounded and Private
John Pryor and John Darben kill

flag was left on the ground, being
picked up by Corporal Lockwood Of
the Illinoisians. It has since been
on exhibition in Memorial hall,

DRAINAGE SURE COMING
Petition for Admission to District
Ready for Board of commissioners

The petition for the admission of
the Town of La lara into San Luis
Valley Drainage Dist. No is practi-
cclly completed. and will be present.
ed to the district board at its meet
ing next Monday, we are informed.
There is not much question, if any,
as to what action the board will take
on the request for admission.
Getting a sufficient number of
signcrs has been rather tedious pro-
cess because so many real estate
owners of the town have moved
away and are living in other parts
OF the country. AS soon as the nee
essary legal forms can be observed
an election to vote bonds will be
called and while every forward move
requires time it now seems probable
that next summer will see the bitches
opened and the surplus water carried
away. Then will dawn a new era of
prosperity for La lara and the sur
rounding country
