WHEAT TO BE REGULAR CROP.

Most every farmer in Mississippi is
planning to plant a patch of wheat
this fall, at least enough to supply
the family with flour next year.
There is no doubt that five acres or
more Of good wheat is going to be a
big asset next spring, and will make
the farmers family independent of
the high priced flour. Indeed, from
present indications it would seem
that about the only way to make sure
of having flour at all is to produce it
at home.
Forseeing a big demand for seed
with a scarcity, and high prices at
planting time, the Mississippi A. and
M. College is urging the farmers in
this state to get their seed wheat
now. In many sections of the state
good yieds of wheat are being thresh-
ed out and can be bought for reason
able prices. If not bought up for
seed within a short time, however,
much of this will find it's way to the
millers who are anxious to secure it.
Buy yours now, and tell your neigh
Dor to do likewise.

stays that he frequently drove t Il

day there happened to be a pack Of

feeting. There followed the strangest
chase that ever mortal man witnessed.
The hounds hunted the team and its

such a smash into the Ram inn yard

TEUTON OFFICERS
FEEL PINCH OF
FOOD SHORTAGE

Copenhagen. Nov 16-In conse-'
uuence of complaints that families of
German officers stationed In occupied
districts were at a special advantage
as compared with families of enlisted
men in the amount of food they were
allowed to receive from the occupied
territories. the army authorities say
that officers and soldiers are on ex-
actly the same footing, being permit
ted to send home food packages up to
% pounds in weight. but no larger.
This announcement is of interest to
America in view of the efforts to es-
tablish a food supply for Belgian re-
lief. Earlier in the war German SOL
diers were permitted in addition to
the regulation amounts or food sent
by field post. to bring with them when
furloughed as much as they could
carry. Stories of soldiers breaking
down before reaching the railroad
station under the weight Of their
packages and of the frequency Of fur
loughs taken by the officers to carry
food to their families were staple
jokes at the front. Vast amounts Oh
provisions are thus drained from the
occupied REGIONS. notwithstanding the
assurances of the government that no
food Is taken from them to Germany.

ctae at $4,000, giving the holder a
net profit of $17.60 for the use. of his
money.
Thrift Stamps costing twenty-five
cents each are from time to time as
purchased to be affixed to Thrift
Cards, which will be supplied with
out cost. Thrift Stamps will not bear
interest but a Thrift card when filed
at a cost of $500 may be exchanged
for a War-Savings Stamp bearing int
crest at 4 per cent compounded
quarterly merely by turning the card
into the postoffice, bank or other
sales agency and paying thed Inference
between $500 and the current
price of a War-Saving5 Stamp. The
Thrift Stamp feature of the plan will
afford and unparalleled opportunity
for the small investor to save in ord
er to place his or her money at int
crest with absolute safety.
TheIprivilege of surrendering a. GER
tff1cate to the Government and re-
ceiving the cost thereof plus interest
at the rate of about 8 per cent has
been provided for the convenience
of those who may have bought GER
tificates and later on find themselves
in need Of their money. 1t is hoped,
however, that this privilege will be
exercised only in cases of necessity.
Upon ten days written notice after
January list next postmasters will
pay off certificates at their cost to
purchasers plus an increase of one
cent a month on each War Savings
Stamp on the Certificate surrendered
Under this plan it will be absolutely
impossible for a certificate or the
stamps thereon to depreciate in
value, nor can there ever be any
question that it is worth the price
shown thereon.
That is the story of the system I'M
der which the sale and redemption
of War-Savings Certificates will op-
crate. There can be no technicalities
| to confuse, no chance of depreciation
in value, nor any operations which
any child who can read and count
cannot comprehend

expenses of the war. The greater
part Of these funds will be expended
