The board of supervisors of
Holmes county has appropriated
$4,000 tor an exhibit at the Mis-
sissippi Centennial, and Kinds

the same purpose. Gradually
the counties all over the state

the varied resources Of Mississ-

When You
Need (,a|OInOI
-:s:-----
Spell 1t Backward and Try
LemoHac.

You will be agreeably surprised
and will never run the risk of
taking dangerous, unpleasant
calomel again. Lemolac acts on
the liver like calomel except that
its actions is more gentle. Lemo-
lac removes the bile, cleanses the
stomach and the intestines; but
it does not grippe, sicken and
weaken and cause you to lose
time from your work. You will
find Lenolac very pleasant to
take and as it is purely vegetable
it cannot salivate or soften your
bones. Calomel is a mineral
made from mercury, therefore
an unnatural re nedy and should
be avoided; however, it is good
name to remember Lemolac BY
as Lemolac is calomel spelled
backward. Try q SOC bottle at
our risk. Sold by A. G. THORN
TON, Brandon, Mississippi, and

GET READY. FOR A COMMUNE
TY FAIR NEXT FALL.

To some readers it may seem
very early to to begin talking
about community fair next fall,
but it's really none too soon.
Just as soon in the year as posi-
BILE the list of prizes should be
announced, and Mr.. Farmer and
Mrs. Farmer, and the farm boy
and girl, should begin laying
plans to walk away with this or
that particular prize next fall.
And every neighborhood
ought to have community fair.
Here is a letter right now from
one of our friends that shows
what almost any neighborhood
may do:
1--WE had 600 enthusiastic peo-
pie at Thicketty Mountain School
house for our community fair
Thanksgiving Day men, Woin-
en- children and babies from six
neighboring school districts, In
the live stock EXHIBIT the mules,
cows, hogs and chickens were all
of the best. Fancy work, canned
product and other articles of the
home were exhibited by the ladies
and girls and were most credi-
table. The agricultural products
were a treat to look upon. Nine
teen babies were in the baby
show.
Then we had Thanksgiving
exercises, three excellent brief
addresses, a spelling match, a
cake walk athletic stunts and a
dinner unriyaled in quantity and
quality.
Before the day was over, the
people voted to make the Thanks
giving community fair an an
nual event. Macedonia school
was quick to offer for the meet,
ing place, and so all the school
and communities present are to
join her in holding the next one
at Macedonia schoolhouse.
In making up a prize list for
your community fair, don't for
get to ask town merchants,
bankers, ETC., to contribute also.

The out ook is encouraging ex-
cept for an excited tendency to
plant all Gotten.
Plant cotton if you will, but
also plant some other things.
If you don't plant other things
we may not be able to grow
enough bottom, even with a good
crop at present prices, to pay the
food prices that will be asked
this fall.
Food prices may drop, but cot
ton will also drop.
Cotton may drop lower than
food prices
If we have both we will strike
the average, and that average

year we may be in the same way
we were in the fall of 1914.
If shipping is cut down and the
war continues the allies will buy
those things first that they can
eat.
Soldiers have to eat in order to
fight.
Germany is fighting, having
food and no cotton.
The ships will haul food first.
If peace comes there will still
be an enormous demand for
food.
People can use their clothes
for two or three years; they
can't do without food for over
II hours.
Mr.. Knapp read some figures
that were startling as to relative
prices.
Before 1914 cotton was aver
aging $50 bale.
Before the slump, because of
our war scare and the embargo,
cotton was worth about 800 a
bale.
In order for a bale of cotton to
buy as much flour as bale of
cotton did in 1914, before the
war, cotton would have to sell at
"a cents a pound.
In order for a bale of cotton
now to buy as many Irish pota-
toes as a bale of cotton would in
1914, cotton would have to aver
age 20 cents pound.
In order to buy as much bacon
for a bale of cotton now as bale
of cotton would buy in 1912, cot
ton ought to bring 10 cents a
pound.
So cotton then, relative to
other things, is not high.
And yet we grew a short crop.
If we had grown a large crop
of cotton and had sold that cot
ton around Is cents, the profit of
the south, unless the south were
growing something to eat itself,
would have been absorbed a d
the south would have been in
debt.
If we plunge entirely in cotton
this year we will be in most
dangerous position.
We ought to plant cotton; If
we would be safe we must plant
other things.
We must grow corn, because
it is now averaging around $1.2
a bushel.
We must grow hay, because
hay is at an enormous price.
We must grow meat, and we
ought to grow a good garden.
If we diversity this year we
will do more for ourselves and
for the south than we could have
