NO MORE TRIBUTE
GIVING In CHINA

Peking--The practice of tribute
/ giving Isl to be abolished forever in
4 China, according to memorandum
made by President Ii to the ministry
(, OF the interior and the board of Mon
golian and Tibetan Affairs. Under
preceding regimes it has been Gus
tomary for the Monaghan and Tibet
an princes and mobiles to offer tributes
! to the head Of state at certain festl-
!, walls during the, year. President Ii
/ Yuan-hung insists, however, that ne
!; 10 president of a republic, whose sta
!; tus is quite different from that OF the
/ imperial regimes Of bygone days, and
! further makes the Following state
ment:
81 s.In ancient times those of our rul-
ers who were worthy and honest al
ways preferred a simple life to one OF
1 luxury and ostentation. Presents
/ from officials and vassals we're not IA
svored. Hence that emperor or the
elbow dynasty and the prince of Lu
! warned posterity against accepting
presents when they we're respectively
offered q Tbetan mastiff and a val
liable tripod cauldron. Our annals
TEEN with records of this kind: and
It is related how fur gowns and a
fine horse, presented as gifts to GER
tain emperors Of the Han and Using
tdynasties were either burnt or re-
turned, showing the moral rectitude
of these ancient rulers. The custom
of offering presents and tributes to
the rulers is calculated to give rise
to the practices OF bribery among the
officials Of different grades. Besides
under the pretext of offering tributes
to the ruler, those who do SO always
| have a chance to exact as much as
i they can from their people with a
view to capture the favor Of their rul-
ers. It is q corrupt, practice, and
ought to be prohibited forever. Here
after. no tribute shall be permitted
to be offered; and this order Of pro-
hibition shall hold good forever"

a1srs to the Exposition will have op-
portunity of seeing one, built ana opef-
ated by our home folks.
Chancellor ]. N. Powers of the state
University stated at the educational
conference in Gulfport recently that
the University would install a wireless
station on the Exposition grounds ana
operate it during the Centennial 1t
will be erected and operated by stu
dents of that great state institution,
4 SCrown in Mississippi" boys.
I The station will have a capacity OF
Freceiving messages sent from similar
stations thousand miles away. Time
will be received each day from the
government station at Arlington, Va,
IN the suburbs Of Washington, approx
fmately thousand miles in an air
line. Communication will also be had
With Key West, Fla, Galveston, Texp
and other points.
This progressive move on the part
os the University will be doubly ap-
nreciated by the people Of Mississippi

THE LIVE STOCK BOARD

A state constituted board that has
performed most valuable service for
the farmers and live stock men dur
ing the eight years since its creation
is the Live Stock Sanitary Board,
charged with the duty OF preventing
and controlling diseases Of live stock.
No body of men has worked with
greater interest or under more diff.
cult conditions than this one.
In the way of actual accomplish
ment, not one can show more. While
the major portion of this comes un-
der the head of tick eradication,
there is a great deal more for which
the Live Stock Board deserves credit.
No state in the Union has shown a
healthier improvement In live stock
production and the work of this
Board is entitled to a considerable
portion of the credit
Every opportunity for advancing
the work and creating favorable in
terest has been taken advantage OF.
There is to be no tagging in this ag'
gressive campaign as evidenced by
the fact that the Live Stock Sanitary
Board is planning an educational ex'
hibit for the Centennial Exposition
and has provided means for its exc
cution.
DR.. E. M. Ranck, state veterinarian,
is already making plans for an ex-
hibit that will clearly explain to the
100000 Mississippians that will at
tend the Exposition why it is impor-
tant that they should acquaint them
selves for the causes OF disease in
stock and the remedies necessary to
correct or remove the trouble.
More people can be reached at the
Exposition and given demonstrations
concerning live stock matters than a
dozen lecturers could meet and talk
to in several years. Then with the
means for forcibly bringing to their
attention and interest the methods
used by the Board in preventing and
curing disease, results that are wide
spread and lasting can be brought

Good Advice From Mr.. Cottrell

Below we quote some valuable
advice from Mr.. H. M. Cottrell,
of Memphis. Mr.. Cottrell is
Agriculturist, Bureau of Farm
Development. of the Business
Mems Club of Memphis, and de-
votes his entire time to studying
farming and giving expert ad-
vice to the people of the Mem
phis territory. We feel that
those following his advice will
be thankful that such a man is
employed to assist them.
Farmers can get hay early in
the summer at a cost of SIS to Sc
a ton by sowing oats as early in
January or February as the
ground becomes dry enough to
work.
"Cut the oats as soon as the
grain is in the milk, plant the
land Immediately to COW peas OF
soy beans, or, the middle OF
June, to June corn. Spring oats
do not pay as a grain crop but
do pay as a hay crop when
followed by another crop the
same season.
Sow Red Rust Proof or Burt,
q to 8 bushels seed to an acre.
Sincerely yours,
H. M. Cottrell.
