Appeal 10 Farmers

One Of the most interestingly
arranged and instructive Of the
Mississippi Agricultural De
Darlment Bulletin series, since
the issuance eff such a pubIlca-
ton was begun, is that which
has been gotten out by Commis-
sioner Garner and staff for June,
1917. 1t is not so much the
original matter which is lncor-
porated in the Bulletin which
constitutes it's value, but the
mass of carefully selected matter
which has been brought forward
The front page is occupied by
President wilson s appeal to the
farmers of the nation to do their
part zealously and wisely in pro-
ducing food supplies and con
tributing to the plan of nome
defense. This will be sent to
some 10000 farm homes in Mis-
sissippi, and that one feature
alone, as stated by Mr.. Garner
would be sufficient justification
for the work and expense of get
ting up and mailing out the pub
| iication.
Articles by Dr.. Talt Butler,
associate editor of the Progress
s,ve Farmer, Clarence Poe OF the
same staff. Chauncery Thomas
and other students of practica
economics and conditions are als9
contained in the June Bulletin
thus using the space available
wisely and conservatively. As
a state publication. provided foI
by statute, this Mississippi Bul
! letin reaches more people an(
furnishes more real human III
terest than any other publication
the expense of which is born ou
cf the public eXchequer.

LIBERTY BONDS
/ ARE The SAFEST
Money Paid Out Is Returned
to You in Full at End OF
Stated Period
Greatest and Safest Of XII Invest.
] ments;; Be a Shrewd Money
Maker
Did you ever own a bond?

( AAO you ever own UOuu
It is the greatest and safest OF all
Investments The shrewdest money
makers are bond buyers. The most
careful investors are bond buyers.
When you buy stock, the money you
pay for it is gone forever. What you
buy is only right to share in divi-
dends. providing there should be any.
But a bond is different. The money
you pay for bond is returned to you
in full at the end of a stated period.
You know by reading the bond itself
on precisely what date you will get
back your principal. Then, instead of
wondering whether you will get inter-
est or dividends on your money, you
also know by reading your bond exact
ly what rate Of interest you will be
paid and on what dates the payments
will be made to you.
Insurance companies, colleges. trust
funds and conservative individual in
Yestors buy bonds because they are
the safest kind of investment. Bonds
issued by the United States govern
ment are the most valuable of all
bonds. Our government never fails to
pay: usually it's bonds sell above par
gold" The man or woman who holds
United States bonds is free from
worry: the money they cost will come
back in full, and every cent of interest
will be paid on the appointed days.
Liberty bonds, issued by the United
States government in order to win the
war and re-establish peace on earth,
will soon be ready for sale. You can
subscribe now. These bonds are in de-
nominations of $5C, 500, $500, $1,000,
$4,000, $4,000 and 100000. You can
buy one or several. Interest is at 31s
per cent, payable June Is and Dec. Is
every year. If at later date the gov
eminent should issue bonds at 4, AZ,
or any other higher per cent of in
terest, you can at once exchange your
3h per cent bonds for those of the
highest rate. Thus you are protect
ed as to the future. Furthermore, these
Liberty bonds are ta~ free; hence
your income from tim is net, not
subject to any deduction by the city,
county, state or nation.
Every man, woman or child who
buys Liberty bond will be given a
button to wear. That button will indi.
cate two things:
THAT its wearer believes in the
investment value of government
bonds;
2.-That the wearer has done some
thing to help the United States win
the war. That button will be badge
of honor in all the days to come.
Why not buy at least one Liberty
bond for every member of your fam
lily? Decide now. Subscriptions close

ment reserves the right to close ear

JAPAN MAY learn
IN WIRELESS Use

"A good opportunity has been given
me since my arrival to study wireless
systems here" said Engineer NJ. Saiki
of the Japanese communication de-
partment, who has been stopping in
the islands to investigate the wireless
systems on his way to the United
States and Europe. Il am well
satisfied and appreciative of what has
been done for me by the wireless au-
thorities.
r, THE differences between the Ka-
hnkur wireless station and our Funaba-
shi station in its wireless system are
great. One is the Marconi system and
other the German system. Therefore,
the arrangementsso of the plants are also
very different, but there Is no differ.
ence in efficiency Yet one thing
that particularly felt is necessity OF
ali Improvement upon our Eunabashi
station by adopting the Marconi
duplex system. 49, o.
"The duplex system of wireless Is
not used in Japan at present, though
it has been taken up lately in the
United States and some European
countries. <...--...- ..-
81 understand that ;Marconi Tele-
graph Company is intending to adopt
such system on this island soon. l
was told that the wireless station at
Koko Head is for that purpose. The
principle aim Of this duplex system is
to establish two stations, with one
station to be used only for despatching
and the other only for receiving. We
must adopt such system in our coun-
try as soon as possible. . = =
= Our Funabashi station often re.
ceiyed San Francisco messages direct
without having arelay at Kahuku sta.
ton, but 1t, is not for the public, be-
lieve, although it will soon be posi-
BILE to communicate with San Fran
cisco regularly. The wireless will be
more useful than the cable, as it is.
quicker in communication and cheap
er in rates. 81. q ).
On account OK war in Europe, and
Japan is one Of the allies, the United,
States government is very strict in ex.
animation Of messages in order to
keep strict neutrality, and we are not
allowed to use cryptograph or private
codes.
AT present there are only 20 com
rnunications per day on an average
between the kahuku and Funabashi
wireless stations, but this will increase
after the European war is over.
