NAWPROGRAM.
OFU.S.DEPENDS
ON NlINBERO Of.
BRITISH SHIPS.
BY CARL D. GROAT.

Americas army and navy pro-
grams will depend largely upon
President Wilson's success or fail
ure to put across his plan Of non
militarism while abroad.
What he wants, as already gener-
ally outlined, is to have England
abandon her idea Of unbridled sea
supremacy. He wants her to pool
her naval strength in an Interna-
donal navy. And, he opposes any
idea Of an Americana British navy.
At the same time, he wants the armed
camp spirit removed from the world
with respect to army power.
If: England refuses to hearken to
his program as 10 navy armament,
this Government will go ahead with
a program destined to make the
United States the equal-and per-
haps superior-of England on the
seas. II England does agree to
President Wilson's proposals, it is
likely that this Government will re-
lax somewhat its plans for the future:

These are the plain facts, on ex-

American seapower. But, stripped of
their verbiage, his proposals mean
that the administration intends the
United States to be England's equal
on the seas. The sole thing to alter

The prize winners in the Pig
Club and the Cor nClub will be
announced next week. The work
done in these clubs by the boys
and girls of Rankin county is a
credit to any state. Twelve of the
best pigs were visited by judges
last week and pronounced as good
individuals as they ever judged.
There is a good bit Of education
in growing a pig or an acre of
corn, and the boy who does not
join the club and get in line is
losing an opportunity worth
while. In the Corn Club several
boys made over 70 bushels per
acre. This is very good crop
considering the drouth which
came during the growing season.
Now for the LIBERTY PIG
CLUB" which every boy in Ran
kin county should join at once.
This is not to be put on like the
previous Club contests, but is for
the distinct purpose of getting
more good hogs ready to market
for pork. The plan is to have
each member select a good pork
hog and put it on feed for 60 or
80 days then make cooperative
shipment to st. Louis or some 9TH
er market. A record is to be kept
of the entire cost of all feed, etc.,
and the members feeding the
heaviest and cheapest hogs will
be awarded attractive prizes. A
drive will be made in the near -fu-
ture through the schools for the
purpose of enlisting members, and
l certainly hope every boy who
possibly can will enlist in this
work. It is a good business prop
osition, and any boy can earn sew
eral dollars clear money by Sc
curing hog and feeding it in
this contest. Be ready to join
when your teacher announces it
to you. Remember that the boys
Of the state are to register on De-
cember the 9th for work in the
Reserve, so THE LIBERTY PIG
CLUB will afford you an oppor-
tunity to get busy Immediately.
Let me ask that parents encour-
age the boys by giving them a
pork hog to feed in this contest.
Are you ready to complete that
HOME ORCHARD during the
next two months? If you have
the true. home spirit, you will not
put this matter off any longer. 1
will be glad to help you select
your trees and make a plan for
your orchard. Don't hesitate to
call on me if ! can be of assist
ance to you. Take my advice one
time and let the strange fruit
tree agent alone for the present
at least. Get catalog from a re-
liable nursery and select the va
rieties that you wish. You will
Save money and time by doing
this.

Richard Barrett who has been
visiting Mr.. and Mrs. G. G. Ander-

sherifs Of Dickinson county and
among the interesting stories OF the
early days is one he tells Of arresting
Wnd BIZ. after he had shot a cou-
Me 81 men and mixed things up
generally
wild Biz was well known for his
efficiency as gunman and for his
code Of catching thief by killing
him. The prospect OF taking him to
iail was not a pleasant one, but when
sheriff Barrett started a thing ne
finished It, and so It was that once
al least wild Bill met his equal.
There was some trouble getting him,
but after he was caught he knew
better than TO risk escape at the
point of gun.
