UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI
MEN ENGAGED IN WAR
WORK.

The University Of Mississippi is
very DESTROYS of securing the names
of all Alumni and former students
who are now in any branch OF the
country's service-the army, the ma
Wy, the aviation corps, the engineers
division, the Y. M. G. A., the hospital
and ambulance corps, or other war
work Of whatever kind. We wish to
make a complete list of such men and
treat the same as a roll Of honor.
The University is justly proud OF
the record that her sons have made IN
other times of crisis. In the armies
of the Confederacy they rendered
most valuable and devoted service. 1t
is confidently believed that her sons
of today will be no less loyal.
Promptly, when the call to the col
ors came, they responded. Some are
already in France, many others are on
the way, and more are eager to go.
Brothers, born of a common mother,
we would write their names together
on a Scroll of Fame and treasure their
memories in our hearts.
The College Annual, cole Miss,
will be dedicated to our soldier boys.
The editorial board plans to publish
the names of all that can be obtained
and the photographs of a large num-
Der. The purpose is to make this vol
ume historic, one that will be priced
for years to come, kept in the holy of
holes Of the institutions life, a shin
ing chapter in a noble history, en-
deared to all who love the right. Its
pages will be forever sacred to the.
memory of cole Miss" men who
championed the cause of honor, home
and humanity.
Accordingly, every one entitled to
a place in the list and to whom this
request m is asked to send in his
name at once, and any relative or
friend who knows of an University
Alumnus or student who is now fol-
lowing the flag, will confer a favor
by sending in his name with his po-
sition or rank, to the undersigned.
Full and detailed information is de-
sired. The time is short, the appeal
urgent.

Several weeks ago Colonel Sam

both passenger and commercial cars
to use their cars more and more to
relieve the transportation pressure on

the country's business, not alone

RAISE MORE SHEEP.

Raise more sheep. This is the ap-
peal of the Department of Agricul-
ture. 1t is a timely warning. It is
one that should be needed. The
sheep industry has been badly neg
lected of late years and for no ap-
parent reason. The sheep is the
most useful animal that can be raised
on the farm and one of the easiest.
In the city Of Milwaukee several
months ago in the slogan was adopt
ed, "Raise More Sheep" and owners
Of waste timber lands denuded of
their lumber. wealth were called up
on to use this land for sheep rails
ing. How successful the crusade has
been it is yet too early to say, but
that it is working well is shown by
the encouraging reports that have
been made.
Figures furnished by the secre-
tary of agriculture show how very
necessary it is to promote the sheep
industry and also how it has fallen
off during the past five years.
More than the entire wool produc-
tionsof the United States will be used
in clothing and Quitting Y army.
The apparel Of one soldier clothed
according to army regulations #
properly carried out, represents the
yield Of 20 sheep, according to g
bulletin recently issued BY the de-
partment, and the logical deduction
Is "a raise more sheep.
The Tupelo journal., 1918-01-18

If we are to place 100000 men in
France by July l and each of the
1000, 600 men will require the wool
yield of 20 sheep, this mean that
10000, 900 sheep will be necessary to
clothe the army that must and will
be on foreign shores by that time.
It must also be remembered that
there will be in the course of forna-
ton at home another army of a mil
lion men and this army must be ade-
quately clothed also.
Raise more sheep. The nation de-
mands it. 1t is a rich field for you.
It means money to the farmer. The
wool will command a sure sale at adj
vanced prices. The meat will find a
ready market at prices equal
ed before. The sheep can be easily
fed. Their profit to the sheep raiser
ean millions in money.
Incidently the department also
calls attention to the fact that there
are today 100000 fewer sheep IN
the United States this year than IN
1914. The wool production of this
country has decreased steadily since
1912. It was 321,362,75 in 1910,
29O,192,00O in 1914, 289,492,0 0o
pounds in 1916 and 285,573,000 in
1917.
The amount of wool manufacturer
increased from 550,356,525 pourds
in 1914 to 49,, 679, 934 in 1915. This
year the amount to be manufactured
must necessarily be much larger.
These are facts and It il time *

DR.. w. T. Lowery, of Blue Noun
tain, preached an interesting sermon
on Ordination of Deacons at the
Baptist church Sunday morning, at
ter which two deacons were ordained;
and just after the people had gotten
home. the church was discovered to
be on fire. 1t was too late to save
ANYTHING as the fire had SO completely
filled the house on the inside. The
house being, a frame building soon
burned to the ground. The property
value was about $4,000. The date of
insurance had just expired. The
church had just gone to full time
service, with Rev. j. R. Russell as
pastor and had prayer meeting and
B. Y. P. u. services every week, also
had w. M. u, Sunbeam, e. A., n
Y. w. A. meetings, and a very inter-
ested Sunday School. OF course we
are sad over the loss of the building,
but we have put our trust in God,
for we are His and He will care for
His own. Psalms 24:1, The earth
is the Lords and the fullness thereof;
the world and they that dwell therein.
We feel very grateful indeed to n
members of the Presbyterian and
Methodist churches who so freely IN
vited the Baptist to hold services IN
their buildings. We hope 1T Will not
be lonw until we can rebuild and go
forward in His name.

practiced to the end that no wastage
shall result. It is not necessary to
assume that National economy means
curtailing the use Of automobiles.
"The natural function of the au-
tomoble, both passenger and CONNER
cial. is the transportation Of man and
merchandise for short hauls. If this
is realized, a tremendous amount OF
railroad mileage may be diverted from
short hauls to long hauls, and just
that much pressure on the railroads
transportation facilities relieved.
"National economy means read
iustments, but not necessarily cur
tailment of the markets for CONNER
cial and passenger automobiles. Nor
will it reduce the use of automobile
tires or other accessories necessary
to the efficient operation of a motor
ear.
.sThe National need calls for con-
structive economy in the operation
of automobiles, but not IN unthlnklng
curtailment.
at is my firm belief that, when
we have satisfactorily ended this war,
the automobile and kindred indus
tries will find a market for all the
goods that they can produce. Many
concerns are being called upon by
the Government for war products.
This will spur these manufacturers on
to a use of their remaining facilities
in even greater efficiency than has
ever been known before, so that dur
ing and after the war all of their ia
cilities will be required"
The Tupelo journal., 1918-01-18

The above, written by one of the
editorial writer's, appeared on the
managing editors desk in proof.
It is a good editorial, but we are
going to add another paragraph.
We will raise more sheep when We
kill more dogs. We have got to get
the dogs out of the way before we
can do much with sheep.
The sheep industry in Tennessee
has been practically ruined by the
sheep-killing dogs.
The hill country of Mississippi
ought to be a good country for rails
ing sheep. So ought West Tonnes
see, and it would be except for the
no-account dogs in this region.
The legislature of Mississippi is
soon to meet.
If some member will pass a dog
low in five years he will be more hon
ored for public service than any 9TH
er man up to date in the last 10
years has been honored for public
service.-Commercial Appeal.

TWO KINDS OF cows.

There are two kinds of COWS on
our farms today,
Just two kinds of cows and no
more, l say,
Not Jersey, or Guernsey, Ayrshire
or Holstein,
For it isn't the breed of cows that
mean.
Not the fat, or the lean, or the large,
or the small,
Nor the ones that stand in the up
to-date stall.
No, the two kinds of cows on our
farms that l mean
Are the cows that lift and the cows
that lean.
The litter is one that brings large
returns,
The leaner costs more for her keep
than she earns.
Wherever you go you will ind the
breeds masses
Are always divided in just these two
classes.
And, strangely enough, you Will Ind,
as I've seen,
There are about ten filters - en-
ty that lean
And the dairyman finds by testing
and weighing
That these noble filters do all OF the
paying.
