Our Grand Free Tour.

In this issue The Aberdeen Weekly
announces the Inauguration OF tour
campaign. in conjunction with The
Memphis News Scimitar, which is
destined to eclipse anything of its
kind ever before attempted by
newspaper in this territory.
One young lady from Aberdeen
or the surrounding territory will be
guest of The News Scimitar's
Travef Club, on two weeks yaca-
tlOn tour, with all expenses paid.
The Scimitar's party will travel in
luxurious steel Pullman Sleepers,
chartered for the occasion. The itin-
erary of the tour includes visits to
Washington, New York. Chicago.
Detroit, Buffalo, Cleveland. Mack
mac Island, Niagara Falls, Norfolk
and Cincinnati, besides a cruise on
the great lakes, daylight boat trip
on the Hudson river, steamship
voyage on the Atlantic ocean with a
party of cOngenial companions un-
der capable chaperonage.
While competition for this tour
is only to be among those who are
candidates through The Aberdeen
Weekly. The News Scimitar is con-
ducting similar joint campaigns with
other papers in the adjacent terri
tory, and should our successful can
didate have more votes than candi-
dates entered elsewhere, she will be
allowed to choose lady companion
to accompany her on the tour with
out expense to either. This feature
really makes it possible for young
lady of our territory to secure two
trips.

or single, over IA years of age, who

The following Jackson news item
promises legislative fight upon the
so-called tax equalization act the leg
islature passed in the 1916 session.
War without quarter on the Stat
ute creating the State Board Of Tax
Equalization has been declared by
State Senator H. H. Casteel. of
Holmes county. Despite the fact
that he has hitherto been regarded
as one of the administrator leaders
in the Senate. Mr.. Casteel ID unal.
terably opposed to the tax eQualisa-
ton plan that the State board. Great
ed at the last legislative session, is
seeking to carry out. Furthermore.
he announces his determination to
make fight for the repeal of the
measure at the next legislative ses-
sion, and is collecting data which
we believe will show gross Unequal
tiles in the basis OF assessment
adopted by the board and carried
into effect next year.
The Legislature could not do q
better piece of work than strike from
the statutes the law creating. or
miscreating, the miscalled Tax
Equalization Board. Probably half
the states have passed acts similar
in title if not in provision. All have
caused intense dissatisfaction, and
nearly all have been repealed. But
this record does not argue an easy
repeal of the Mississippi law. At
its worst, if not on account of it's
worst, it will serve the underlying
purpose of those who have sought
to place such a cog in the revenue
wheel for years. Thus, however
vicions the law, it is not probable
there will be repeal until the design
has been tested and its evil proved.
That it will so demonstrate it's quail
ity under trial we haye no doubt.
But it will take time.-Vicksburg

THRIFT AND THE EDUCATED HEN.
Once a teacher asked a class in
arithmetic. what is an average?"
One boy very promptly replied,
something hen lays on" When
asked for his authority he very easily
found the page in his arithmetic in
which it said, the common hen lays
on an average eighty eggs a year."
But it is not the common hen" we
now have. I suppose the average
now of the modern. educated hen
would be fully twice this number of
eggs a year. This makes it quite
easy to show a clear profit OF $1.5O
year from the average hen. In
casting about now to teach the young
of Mississippi the value of live stock
the hen offers.us a solution. She
may be kept on small areas Of ground.
She is easily supervised. She sleeps
we'll at night, Very little attention
keeps her in health. She sings as
sweet as she can. II we take ad-
vantage of Der ability. her energy.

rewarded for our attention. Our Sis
ter state of Tennessee ships each
year more than twenty million dol
lars worth Of poultry products. One
single town ships almost three mil
lions of this. l wish that parents
and teachers everywhere in this state
would begin to teach the children
how to become thrifty by way of the
hen. To begin with she is a fine
example of Thrift. l recall
