JNFLI1ENZA RUNS RIOT

The Spanish influenza has broken I'D all the schools and colleges of Mis- sissippi at least temporarily, The A and M. college at Starkville has been hit hard. there being 100 cases of pneumonia reported one day this week. with 15 deaths to that time. Two or three extra physicians have been sent to the scene by the state board or health, and they have had their hands full all the time. The several other colleges have not suffered to the same extent In fact, there have been no deaths anywhere but at the A. and M Some of the biggest colleges in the state report that they have not had a single case of the disease, and no others report any deaths, Dr. Leath- CTS, executive officer of the state board of health, is the busiest man in Mis- sissippi He is kept at the telephone all the time. but has not lost his pa tience. His advice to all citizens IS that they keep coor' and obey the orders of the health authorities/ Pu- pills are not permitted to leave the in. stitutions-all of which have been quarantined, so as to require students and teachers to remain on their own grounds rather than be running home. It is believed here that the worst is over.

week at his office in Jackson. After the legislature adjourned last spring he went down into the Sixth district as a candidate for Congress, made hundreds of speeches and was defeat ed It was predicted that he was DO litically dead on that account. but he says not, and that he will continue to play a prominent part in Mississippi politics there is every reason to be- lieve. His record as governor is in many respects good He has done a great deal in the way of constructive legislation. most of which was in the interest of the people of the Sixth district but his efforts were not ap- preciated. Those people were opposed to the tick law, and the governor was held up by his willy opponent as the responsible agent when the fact of the business was he had nothing to do with the passage of the statewide tick eradication law except to sign his name to it. The law was worth millions to the state, but the COW own- CTS of the gulf coast district did not think so, and voted against the gov ernor very largely on that account. The governor declares he is not dead politically or otherwise. and that he will get even before he quits

TICK ERADfCAToRs MEET

Fifty or 60 tick eradicators assem- bled at Jackson this week in response to call from pr. J. A. Barger, agent here in charge of the work in this state and representing tho United States government. Reports were made by all of the agents, showing just what has been done and what is to be done in this direction hereafter. It was found that the cattle ticks have been wiped out of the majority of the counties of the state, but that there are some districts in which they are as yet quite numerous In all these in-
 fected counties dipping is still re-
 quired and thousands of cattle are
 still permitted to run at large, and
 right there is where opposition de-
 velops. The owners of tick infested cattle insist that they have just as
 much right on open range as have the cattle of their neighbors, but they are
 not permitted to enjoy any such priv ilege. The quarantine has been lifted all over the state but still hundreds of dippers are satisfied there will not be a tick in the state by next spring, and that then cattle will be worth s15 to $25 per head more on the market of the country than now.

HOW OTHERS MAY BENEFIT FROM A GENEROUS GIFT.

These statements may seem strange to some folks, because nearly all suffer CTS have all along been led to believe in the old Uric Acid" humbug. It took MT. Ashelman fifty years to find. out this truth. He learned how to get rid of the true cause of his rheumatism. other disorders and recover his strength from "The Inner Mysteries" remarkable book that is now being distributed free by an authority who devoted over twen- ty years to the scientific study of this trouble. If any reader of The .Age-Her- ald wishes a copy of this book that re- veals startling facts overlooked by doc tors and scientists for centuries pasE simply send a postcard or letter. to H. P.

NEGROES TO MAKE EXHIBIT

The directors of the Mississippi State Fair are going to give the negroes of the state an opportunity to show what tkey have been doing along agricultural lines al the fair next week, and have set aside the upper story of the Agricultural building for their show.

THE FEDERAL CLERKsHIp

It has been pretty generally admitted that Ed Holmes. prominent young lawyer of Yazoo City, and son-in-law of Senator John Sharp Williams, will succeed Henry c. Niles Of Kosciusko. lately deceased. as judge of the federal court of Mississippi, and now specula- fion is rife as to who will be named as clerk of his court. There are a num- Der of applicants for the place. mighty good one. and for life or good behavior. but it is believed here that the plum will Tall to Jack Thompson. Jackson law yer. It so happens that Holmes and Thompson roomed together at. the State university good many years ago, and were the very best of friends. That friendship has been maintained since they quit college. and they are just as good friends today as when they quit college with their sheepskins under their arms Mir Thompson Is one of the most brilliant young lawyers at the Jackson bar, and his many friends would be re- joiced in the event he is made clerk of the court over which MT. Holmes seems destined to preside.

This Bird Can Sew

From the Peoples Home Journal.
 The tailor bird" of India is an ex- cellent seamstress. When this bird de- cides to build a nest it chooses a/1eaf that suits it's purpose and perforates the edges with it beak. Then it takes long piece of grass fiber and sews the edges together, making a pocket. If the leaf is not large enough it is pieced out with another leaf. At the within the pocket. The end of aret end of the seab the bird makes knot in the thread to prevent unraveling. This pocket is not the birds homo. however. but only the beginning of it. The end of slender branch is always selected, and as the leaf retains it's natural color the home of the bird is concealed very effectively from animals and other enemies of birds.

Commanding Generals Commend Y. ". C. A.

Local Y. W. c. A. workers are much pleased over concentrations of the Hostess houses received from various generals in the United States army
 Mrs. James Bowron, who is state chair man of the education committee of the Y. w. c. A, has gathered statistics on the subject of these Soldiers Second Homes," and while there are 1SS in op- eration, or in process of building, con stant telegrams are received from camp commandants asking the Y. W. c. A. war work council to build more Hostess houses.
 On October II the following letter was received from the general in command at Camp Gordon:
 Mrs Edgar Poe McBurney, Chairman of the Women's Division of the United War Work Campaign for the Southeast ern Department, Atlanta, Ga.-My Dear Mrs. McBurney: The work your asso- citation is doing is excellent. I refer es- buildings on the state fair grounds at Jackson In some respects these fairs

 WANT MORE COMMUNITY FAIRS Oklahoma has many of what are known as community fairs and it is MT. Ruffs idea to see them multipliei in this state There every county has it's fair, the exhibits being made up or beat or community fairs. These small neighborhood fairs have just begun to take hold in Mississippi, but it is con fidently believed that in another year they will be numerous. This year more than 40 counties will have county fairs on the state fair grounds, ano these county fairs will have been maae up from community fairs Liberal premiums have been offered for the best county fair exhibits and the coh- petition will be fierce, While in Oklahoma Messrs. Rur1 ana Cobb visited the A. and M. college at Muskogee They found it doing great work, but not on so broad ana liberal a scale as is the A. and M, cor, lege at Starkville, Miss, now claimed to be the foremost in the united States
 These distinguished farm demon strators are confident that great deal depends on the community far, and will urge them in every part or Mississippi before fair time comes again in this state.

HOW IT HAPPENED.

Mr. Ashelman Is only one of thousands who suffered for years owing to the gen. Uric Acid'' causes rheumatism. This err roneous belief induced him and legions of unfortunate men and women to take wrong treatments. You might just as as to try and get rid of your rheumatism, neuritis and like complaints, by taking treatment supposed to drive Uric Acid out of your blood and body. Many physicia s and scientists now know that Uric Acid never did, never can and never will cause rheumatism; that it is natural and nec- essary constituent of the blood; that it that without 1t we could not livei

TEXAS PRACTICALLY DRY.

By calling the extra session of the Texas Legislature Governor Hobby has practically made Texas bone dry. The governor s recom- mendatfon which was submitted to the body for the ten mile dry zone around army en- campments was sufficient in itself to make the state practically dry. This measure has been enacted and will become effective April 18th. This measure puts booze out of every wet city in the state The home town of the governor, Beaumont, which is e>of the wetest towns in the Lone Star State will have to close its thirst parlors, for there the government ship building works are located. This is true in Orange and Port Arthur, the latter being the town which John W. Gates put on the map. At Port Arthur there are ship building, and there also is located the immense works of the Texas Oil company, whose. products are sup piled to the government in large quantities. Even Fl Paso is not exempt, which has been noted for its dampness since the town was first laid out.
 The cities which this law will affect are Galveston, Fort Worth San Antonio, Houston, Wichita Falls, Orange, Beaumont, Eagle Pass, Del Rio, Brownsville, Laredo and other smaller places where minor detachments of troops are stationed.
 But the prohibitonists are in the saddle in Texas, and are riding to the whip of public opinion. Not content with the ten mile zone : law the legislature has just passed a statutory prohibition bill, which, if it escapes the gover- nor's veto ax will become effective June 27th It provides that all beverages containing one half of one percent alcohol shall be classed as intoxcants. The penalty for violating this law is felony, and carries fine of $1 ,000 to $5,O9OOO

JUDGE MCFARLAND
 GOES TO DOUGLAS
Forms Partnership With Former As sociate, Judge Sames, for the Prac- tice of Law in Douglas.

The Douglas International has the following to say of the new law firm just formed, of which Judge w. C.. Mcfarland formerly of Clifton, is one of the principals. Judge Mcfarland will move to Douglas:
 Judge w. c. Mcfarland, who has been resident Of Graham and Green lee counties since 1895, engaged in the practice of law and Judge Albert M. Sames, of this city. have formed a law partnership and Judge McFar- land will move from Clifton and make his home here in the future.
 "A coincidence in connection with this partnership is the fact that Judge Sames came to Arizona from Los Angeles during the nineties and en- tered the office of Edwards & Mo Farland at Solomonville, then the county seat of Graham county. In

1901 Sames decided to cast his lot with Douglas and came here as assist ant manager of the Douglas Improve ment company, Owner of the Douglas townsite.
 Judge Mcfarland, after the death of Judge E. J. Edwards, remained at Solomonville until Greenlee county was created and then moved to Cliff ton, then the county seat. Before go- ing to Clifton he had been offered and accepted the position of general at torney for the Arizona Copper com pany which he held until year ago. Since then he has been travelling through the northwest and in Canada Hawaii for the benefit of his health which had been somewhat impaired. He has returned to Arizona now again in excellent health and has decided to locate in Douglas, a place for which he has always had admiration and confidence in it's future."

"A BOY AND AMERICANISM."

The Bisbee Review of last Thursday, car ries as a leader editorial, very pretty story which contains lesson in patriotism, in which the little son of Greenlee' s Sheriff plays the leading role. The Copper Era reproduces the editorial, the patriotic sentiment, aside from the interesting incident, is worth repro ducing.
 ''What the United States needs is more citizens like the four-y -year-old son of Sheriff A. H. Slaughter of Greenee county. With them this country would be an unpleasant path for the German sympathizer, the Teuton spy And, with them there would be less criti- eism, less pessimism and more constructive active work toward victory. The story of this feur-year-old is masterpiece of Americanism and patriotic spirit.
 ''The Sheriff little son spends much of his time about his fathers office in Clifton. With his questions and his overflow of acti- vity he frequently flinders the workers and at such times, one or another of several methods is used to rid the office of his wrigging, noisy personality.
 >''The four -year-old had been more than usually active afternoon. His father pick

ed him up, opened the door to the jail and placed him down on the inside.
 "What. are you locking me up for?' the four-year-old inquired.
 You're a bootlegger, said the sheriff father.
 '.The youngster turned his attention to four men, prisoners with him. Three of them he asked separately why they were in jail. Each gave joking, laughing answer Finally the four-year- old turned to the fourth with the same question: The alien enemy, detained for the government.
 ''I'm German spy, he told the four year-old.
 F'The boy studied the man for moment before he replied Then looking him, squarely in the eyes, he shouted:
 ''You damned scoundrel, you ought to be hung
 ''The sheriff didn't reprove the four-year- old for the language he had used Instead he convened court in his office tried and acquit- ted the boy, gave him the military metal-a bag of candy.'' ,-

1s CLIFTON A THRIFT STACKER.

The thrift security movement is being in anourated all over the land. Is Clifton Thrift stacker, or will she get into the drive and contribute her bit towrads this movement that will furnish the means to win. the war;
 Every week the Copper Era, in common with every patriotic newspaper, contributes Its space to the furtherance of the Thrift security sales as we'll as to do it's bit to push the sale of all securities which the government offers the people. Comes now the banks of the Clifton Morenei- -Metcalf district and buys a page of this papers, advertising space to encourage the sale of these thrift security sales which are placed on the market by the government in such denominations that all may invest, event the wee tot, as none are too young or too poor to take small amount of these securities which are offered to the people for the pur- pose of raising the money to win the war for democracy. The matter for this advertise ment was prepared and is authorized by the agents of this branch of the government ser vice. The Copper Era has secured quite an assortment of these authorized advertisements, which will be submitted to the business men for use in their advertisements in this paper. To make the thrift stamp movement worth the while in Clifton and Greenlee county, requires the united effort of the newspapers and busi- ness men, If every merchant will follow the lead of the bankers and use these cuts in their advertising space, the result will be percepti- ble right away
 Now is no time to hoard your money. h. vest every dollar you can spare in war securi- ties. If your government does not exist your money is worthless. Bear this in mind when you place your earnings in hiding, thinking it will better serve if buried than invested in the securities the government is offering for sale.
 The Thrift securities stands for exactly what its name implies-thrift Thrift means the husbanding of ones resources, and to buy thrift securities means saving your earnings for that time after the war when opportunities will be manifold for thrift in business.
 Perhaps one of the most remarkable drives ever known in town of its size is the Thrift campaign now under way in the patriotic lit tie city of ,Morenci That campaign is pa triotic and financial success, for the reason there was purpose in its conception and sys- tenn in its execution. This Thrift drive was or ganized with definite end as its goal which was backed by the true patriotic spirit. They placed their mark high-$25, ,oo.oo, but indica- tions now are that the campaign will be largely over-subscribed, as the $18,OOOO mark has al ready been passed.
 Will Clifton be less patriotic than Mo renci? To equal that town in patriotism quires organization and concerted action. Will you do it, or shall Clifton content herself with being a thrift stacker?
