Toall Candidates fer Public Office
and Their Friends:

1t look like the young men in the mil
itary service of the United States and
their parents are not aroused in the
matter of their taking advantage of the
provision of the law allowing them to
vote in the coming senatorial and con-
gressional election. The candidates
themselves and their friends should
have some interest; so | am again urg-
ing everybody interested to send the
proper address of all young men in the
military or naval service of the United
States to ]. j. Scott at Macon, Miss.
Mr.. Scott will send these boys blanks
for them to fill out so that they can
vote. If you haye any interest in this
matter at all please attend toi at once.
Everybody interested in any candi-
date should send the address of all boys
in his community. In this way most Of
them will be reached. Up to this time
only eight boys out of more than 100
have voted.

To the Labor Committees in Nox-

This was the week for the Labor
Census. but since the government is to
take some kind of labor census We
have communicated with them so as to
see if both could not be done at the
same time and find out exactly what
the government proposes.
There is also another matter. We
will have to have several thousand
cards printed. and there are'scme other
expenses. The committees were to
take up small collection from employ
ers toibe used in this work. and we
have not heard from them. We do not
know whether to go to this expense or
not until l hear from the committees
in this matter. The collection ask edlis
small and / hope the committees will
attend to this and send in the amounts
at once so that we can make the neces-
ary preparations for the labor cam

value Of Drying Fruits.

Under.the direction and encour-
agement of the county, econom-
ic agent, large quantities of veg
etables and fruits have been can
ned and dried in the past two
years, and not only has sale from
the stores been greatly decreased
but the canning club girls of this
county have, through Mrs. Tyn-
dall's efforts, sold quite a guam
tity. The following, taken from
the Mobile Register, shows that
other sections are just awaken
ing to the importance of this mat
ter:
The drying. evaporating or des-
sication, as the process is vari-
ously called, of fruits and vege-
tables has been much neglected
in this country, because, through
our abundance of every good
thing to eat, we have been able
to get along without it. But with
new times come new practices.
The war has reduced our food
surplus and raised the price of
necessities. Drying and other
wise preserving the products of
our gardens and orchards serve
the double role of adding to our
food supply and reducing living
expenses, either of which should
be a sufficient inducement to the
practice. In other countries the
drying of vegetables is quite a
widespread custom and is one
made necessary by their peculiar
economic conditions. The food
products thus prepared have a
wide range and are vf remarka-
BILE palatability. That the people
of this section should give this
question earnes consideration is
apparent.

III War and the Farmer

4 - W ~ oNo sH9 r 0EHg9E
When war was declared the govern
ment took stock of its four great indus
tries-mining. manufacturing, trans
portatiOn and farming. In less than
years time we have seen the partial
failure Of three OF these, and only one
has arisen to the occasion, Coal was
not deliveredlfrom mines. causingisuffer-
ing and the abandonment of manufac-
turing for a week. The railroads had
to be taken over by the government
and only recently did the government
save the building of transports BY the
most rigid supervision. But in spite of
his isolation, taunts for being unpatri-
otiC, misunderstood and Disseminated
against. the farmer has rallied. equal
to the test, with bumper corn and wheat
crops, and larger droves of hogs. cattle
and sheep are now going to the mark
cts. This and last spring our city folks
made a fuss about ''war gardens"
most of which were later abandoned to
weeds and drought. These folks have
been very much to the alert in giving
the farmer advise, but all are now
agreed that his little backyard "war
garden was failure, and he turned to
the hard fisted farmer for his fall vege-
tables and winter bacon. The farmer
not only has fed his city friends, but the
people of France. Britain, their and our
armies, and is furnishing food to neu-
trails as we'll.

Food for Oar Enen,ies


Prof. Duggar of Alabama suggests
that new use Of food may soon ap-
pear to help end the war. We know
the rank and file Of the Austrian, Hun
garian and German populace is hungry,
and the time may soon come when we
could say to them: "We have food and
to spare; we have food for you when
you guarantee.us the rights of liberty. "
1t is not at the appearance of posi-
BILE turn of military events that our
farmers should feel from the struggle.
We may have to conquer our enemies by
offering them food. At any rate It will
take two years to withdraw our army
to our own shores.
Corn Market Dali
The corn market IS off considerably.
We had prices of 81. .65 on board Macon,
and helped to get 81. IS for car shelled
corn for Messrs. Dinsmore and Cavett.
We are being informed that weevil is
being found now in some corn.
To Cfub Msmbsrs
Thursday, August l, will be visitors
day at our short course. In the after
noon the club members will arrest a
stalk of corn and try it for seed. The
idea is to bring out the good and bad
qualities of one stalk for seed in the
form of trial. Visitors will be well
come.

port at my Office in Mscsn at IL O'Clock

Giddings. Texas, July 16.
II noticed in the BEACON some
suggestion had been offered for
Mexican help to relieve the labor
situation, and | want to tell you
some things that | know about
them after living among them
for five years. The Mexican is
the poorest excuse for farm labor
| know ef-in fact there are very
few of them that will work on a
farm. The lower class, and it is
that class that | know, are a de-
graded race of people. They are
thieves by nature and are treach-
erous besides and cannot be de-
pended upon for anything. They
have but little energy and hate
the white people. They expect
the same privilege that is accord
ed American, andl resent it if it
is not given. They do fairly well
as section hands on the railroad
as no one ever seems to hurry
them. They will not try to learn
our language, which would be a
hindrance as laborers.
| would certainly hate to see
Noxubee county infested with
such pests, and am sure if you
ever geta bunch of them you will
always be sorry of it. | just
thought | would tell you this, as
| see that you are on the commit
tee to look into this phase of the
question of labor shortage. |
hope the question of getting
these people your county will be
dropped where it is.
We spent the day Sunday in
Austin, going through the coun-
try. The roads are very rough,
caused principally by so much dry
weather. They have the poorest
cotton crop l have ever seen on
that road, which goes thaough
some of the best land in the state.

Have you ever thought seriously of how you were
going to fare when your ability to livelihood has
been impaired to the point where you were no longer
capable of earning enough to keep yourself and family?
It's very important to you especially you are ayoung
man. Many an old couple have been saved the disgrace
OF having to depend upon their friends by preparing for
their older days by making investments in municipal
bonds that yield a good income 81 and 8 per cent
There is nothing that is so sound as good municipal
bonds such as the that being sold by d. H. Pigg
who represents the Security Municipal Bond Co, 18|
North Park Place. Municipal bonds from $50 up
