When our boys reach the panks or the
 Rhine"
 That is the slogan suggested by Mrs. John A. Gravlee in anticipation of the day when the cables flash the news that the American soldiers and the soldiers of the allies have reached the Rhine in their march on Berlin.
 ''Why not begin making preparations now for that glorious svent?' asks Mrs. Gravlee. Here in Birmingham that his- tory making epoch should be fittingly eel- ebrated, for was it not our own Alabama boys who made the magnificent start at Chateau Thierry which finally rolled the Germans back to the Hindenburg line and is now showing them across the Ger man border?

SOUTH MISSISSIPPI | FARMERS REALIZE
 NEARLY ] MILLION
Live Stock, Fruit and Vege' tables Bring Enormous Amount of Cash for
 First Half of Year

Jackson, Miss, September A.-(Specia) Some very interesting statistics on sales of live stock, fruits and vegetables in the southern district of Mississippi, have been compiled by J. Ed Ruff. district agent in farm demonstration work, and his assistant. H. L. Harper These sta tistics show only what has been shipped out in car lots, no notice being taken of local sales. The figures have been furnished by the railroad companies to county extension agents, and while not complete, in that they do not show all shipments from all stations, are shffi- ciently full to give a good idea of what the South Mississippi farmers and truck CTS have been doing to help win the war and themselves, The data covers the first six months of 1918, as follows:
 2i0 cars cattle, valued at...,.....s 420.09o t2l cars hogs, valued at...,-....- PIP, coo 20 cars sheep, valued at.,........ 2G.000 2S7 cars Irish potatoes, valued at 143,000 q1 1875 cars tomatoes, valued at...... 2,S70, 600 A cars strawberries, valued at. 21,000 99S cars cabbage. radishes,
 beans, etc, valued at.......... 9S9, ,250 < 50 cars cowpeas, valued at.... 62.5o0
 cars velvet beans valued at. 1890 Dairy products, valued at........ 369, ,S42
 - i Total ......................... .s4, ,5Ss, ,S92 ! This does not take into consideration any fall crops, such as cotton, corn, peanuts, molasses, rice, sweet potatoes, chickens eggs etc, and makes mighty good showing from section of coun- try where such crops were never heard of as money crops until quite recently, and where the live stock interest is still in It's swadd1ing clothes.
