Let Us Read.

We are facing a perilous con-
dition with perfect confidence,
and to the heart of man nothing
is so appealing as this twenty
third Psalm, so let us read:
1. The Lord is my shepherd;
shall not want.
2. He maketh me to lie down
in green pastures; He leadeth
me beside the still waters.
3. He restoreth my soul; He
leadeth me in the paths of right
eousness for his names sake.
4. Yea, though | walk through
the valley of the shadow of
death, l will fear no evil; for
thou art with me; thy rod and
thy staff they comfort me.
5. Thou preparest a table be-
fore me in the presence of mine
enemies; thou anointest my head
with oil; my cup runneth over.
6. Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me all the days of
my life; and | will dwell in the
house of the Lord forever.

Special Notice to the Colored
People of Rankin County.

Some few months ago | wrote
an article in the Brandon News
telling the colored people that
south was the best place for the
negro, and that the white man
of the south was the negro's best
friend. | still feel that l am
right about it.
Hon. J. w. Young, who has
charge of the colored station of
enlistment, asks me to announce
to my race that a recruiting
office for colored soldiers would
be opened on Mill or Parrish
street on April Goth, 1917.
Now friends, we as a race
don't know any country but
America. We have the right Of
enjoying the good things of
this country and we should 10y
ally stand by the flag. and will
ingly lay down our lives if need
be-for our country. If a coun.
try is worth living in it is worth
supporting. Our flag has been
bitterly insulted and we as race
must rally to this great call.
Mr.. Editor, every well think
ing and reasonable minded ne
gro is ready to answer the call of
his country. Let each farmer
plant food stuff. Those who
grow food for the soldiers will
do the country as much good as
the man who shoulders his gun
and goes to the front. Plant
corn, peas, beans and potatoes.
All kinds of food stuff will find a
ready sale at a good price. |
cannot get to make a speech at
each colored church is why am
writing this to the paper. | am
ready to go and defend America.
Very respectfully,
HENRY WALTER WOOD.

Suggestions
to Mothers

Mothers should be very care
full to keep their baby's bowels
we'll regulated, and should not
use calomel and other strong
purgatives in doing so. A baby,
little child or even grown people
are much less liable to contract
contagious diseases if their livers
are in d healthy condition. Lem
olac, which is made from lemons
and other fruit and herb juices,
is the best medicine you can
give your baby and children, as
it acts gently but surely on their
livers and is very pleasant to
take.
AS some doctors, who have
tried Lemolac, have stated, it is
the best known substitute for
calomel, besides being a very re-
liable and palatable preparation.
Do not hesitate in giving Lem
lac a trial and it will afterwards
be a household remedy with you,
as it is made to suit all men,
bers of your family. Lemolac
is sold by A. G.. Thornton, Bran
don, Mississippi. and Kings Drug
Co.; Pelahatchie, Mississippi,
and all live druggists who please
their customers.
P. S. If you forget the name
spell calomel backward.

Food Preparedness Program.

There are in the eleven cotton
states 6, 100000 horsesand mules.
If each of these were fed 2 lbs.
of cotton seed, meal per day, it
would release 4 lbs. of corn
each per day-and 200 days of
such feeding to all horses and
mules would release 100000, 600
bushels of corn for human food
and the mules would be bene-
flied BY the change.
a lbs. of corn at S1.55 per
bushel cost IL cents.
2 lbs. of cotton seed meal at
$40 per ton cost 4 cents.
The feeder would thus save Z
cents per day or $l4 on each
head of stock.
We suggest such feeding now
and the planting of soy or velvet
beans or peas in all corn as an
economic and patriotic duty.

This writer adopted an expert
ment this spring to expedite his
gardening in spite of moist soil
too moist to plant seeds-dur-
ing so many showers at the time
garden seed should be planted.
The experiment is new demon
strating a success in the growing
of plants. The beds had been
thrown up early in the winter,
awaiting the time to plant the
seeds. | could not wait for the
surface to drain off for the soil
to get dry enough to open drills
for the seed. So | took a hand
axe and dragged it, edge down,
along the middle, or center, of
the ridge, cutting a half inch or
an inch deep, thus making a
crack in the ridge. Into this
crack l dropped the seeds from a
small spoon and scratched over
the crack with a rake, not caring
whether any dirt fell in or not;
for | knew a shower would soon
follow and cover the seed for me.
This crack" plan is best adapt
ed to the small seeds. Hereafter
shall plant my small seed in
this way when time arrives for
the seed to be in the ground
wet or dry, just so the ridges
are there. Try it, somebody.
