fences if possible. He found that the people of Mississippi had no sympathy with his course in the Senate in opposi- tion to the policy of President Wilson, and got news from every direction of mass meetings at which he was roundly censured, or else the President was heartily indorsed for his course in deal ing with the great crisis that was before his country. Ordinarily, when Senator Vardaman has visited Jackson and takes stroll down the principal streets, he Is accompanied by a number of admirers, and when he stops on a corner he is sur rounded by friends who stop to shake hands and congratulate shim on his good looks if nothing else. But this time there was nothing of the kind. He walked down the streets un>>tended, nobody pay ing any attention to him. He called on one of the most ooutspoken pro- Germans in town for few minutes, and then went his way, a sadder but wiser man, no doubt
 BILBO WILL OPPOSE
 The presence of Senator vardaman aroused good deal of interest in the next primary election for the Senate, and it is generally conceded that Governor iollbO VIII De d lHOSl pOWeTIul opponent The governor has never stated positively whether or not he will oppose Senator Vardanan, but it is confidently peneved that he will, and if he does there will be one of the liveliest scrambles ever seen in the state. Bilbo would get, provided there are but two men in the race. the vote of the old anti-Vardaman and anti Bilbo factions, to say nothing about his fair share of members of his own faction. If he did, Vardamarr, would be showed under world without end. In the event there should be three candidates for the Senate one of them being anti -vardaman and anti-Bilbo, there would perhaps be a second primary, and Bilbo would be the winner in the end. The governor is saying nothing one way or the other, but there is no doubt he is Saving wood'' all the time, and it is the consensus of opinion that he will oppose Vardaman when the time comes, urging his undemocratic course in Congress against him, knowing Mississippi is spending almost solidly be- hind MT. Wilson.
 INTEREST IN OTHER RACE
 The visit of Senator Vardaman has also aroused interest in Che gubernatorfal race, it being known that one will influ- ence the other. The governor cannot suc- ceed himself but he may exercise pow erful influence in the choice or his suc- cessor, and it is known that Governor Bilbo would like to see Lee Russell the present lieutenant governor, made gov- ernor, having much in common. It is also known that Ross Collins, attorney general of the state, wants to be the next governor. and that his bitterest enemy is Governor Bilbo. Both have a strong following, and it remains to be seen what General Collins will do when Governor Bilbo. as candidate for the Senate, gets down to helping Russell out for the gover As a matter of course, that would mean scrap right and would be the cause of lineup between Collins and Vardaman on the one hand, and Bill bo, Russo Il and the -Vardaman con- tinsent on the other.
 Bilbo and Collins have been close per- sonal and political friends for years, but they came to the parting of the ways

CHEAP SEED POTATOES.

Don't plant the whole potato," says the United States Department of Agri- culture. Instead of cutting the potato up into several pieces, it is possible to get as good results, say the specialists, of that department, if cone shaped piece of potato is cut out with each eye using only from one fifth to e-third of the potato in these cones. The "sets" or pieces of potato when selected this way will range from one.fifth to one- seventh of an ounce in weight, while under the old method the sets weigh from three-fourths to two ounces in weight. The remainder of the potato can then be cooked and used on the table.
 The department, however, empha- sizes the fact that under this plan the seed must have especial care or the plan will fail. As soon as the eyes are cut from the potato, if the planting is not done immediately, the cuts should be set on piece of paper and placed in a cool room and allowed to remain there until the cut surface has become dry. They recommend then that the cones be put away in a shallow box where it is quite cold, in fact the nearer they get to frost without freezing, the better.
 The planting of such seed requires a seed bed very we'll prepared. The soil must be thoroughly pulverized and moisture conditions must be normal. This small seed placed in soil which is lumpy or which is dry has little chance to live, and less chance of growing into a sturdy plant. It is recommended that in planting such seeds that they be

MILK PRODUCERS ASSOCIATION

The milk producers of New England are $3, 900, 900 ahead.
 This amount represents the sum they will receive for their product this sum. mer over and above what was paid them during the six months of 1916, from April to October. That is the actual cash gain due to the energetic efforts of the New England Milk Pro, ducers' Association. Besides this the concessions granted on butter fat, barn scores and transportation zones, and the acceptance of the general principle of representative dealing, means a fur. ther substantial financial return to the dairymen of the section. It is not going far astray to claim that, while the farmers will receive $3,00O, 900 more in cash this year than last. event. ually the concessions received by them will be actually worth another $1, ,000,- 900.
 Distributed over the period of six months the net cash increase means the receipt of $500. .00O every 30 days over what was allowed a year ago. This increase, divided among 20,000 producers calls for $25 more each month, or an additional sum of $150 for six. What this additional income means in 10000 farm homes in New England may be left to the imagina. tion.
 These figures are based on conserva- tive estimates of the additional amounts which will be paid by the distributors of Boston and the principle milk cen. ters of New England. the former repre- senting an increase of about $1, 500, 900 and the other cities about as much more.
 Collective bargaining has proved it's availability and value in selling the product of New England dairymen and it is anticipated that it's importance and financial benefit in purchasing will have an opportunity for demonstration at an early date, as soon as plans now being developed for cooperative buying by the N. E. M. P. A. are perfected. The plans will be announced at an early date.

Madison, Wis.-Three centuries ago
dainty Priscilla Mullines became the
bride Of John Alden, and rode on a
white OK to the log house he had built
in the Massachusetts wilderness. The
course of true love had not run smooth
in Priscilla's case.
Miles Standish, the doughty warrior
who had saved the Plymouth Colony
from the Indians, had wanted her to
take the place of his lovely Rose"
who had died soon after the Pilgrims
landed. He was warrior among
men, but afraid of maiden's eyes,"
and he had sent John Alden, his fried,
to do his proposing for him.
Longfellow describes it in his poem,
"The Courtship of Miles Standish."
Priscilla waited in maidenly modesty
until Alden had sung the praises of
his friend, and then whispered why
don't you speak for yourself, John?"
Evidently, John did, because Stand
ish, who had been reported killed by
the Indians, appeared just in time to
attend the wedding.
