Don't open till Christmas" and rush it to Uncle
Sans postal station.
Then on Christmas eve you won't have such
big load in your sleigh, and you can make faster
time getting round 10 those you overlooked in
your earlier trips.
And, dear Santa, please put first on your list,
and make sure that they-NOT A ONE! are for
gotten-those boys of ours who have gone over
seas to win'No Mans Land from the Huns
And, then be sure to write down the name OF
every boy who left his home for duty in training
And, then, put down the names Of all OF the
kiddies in all the worid-and don't forget the Bel
gian babies and the French babies!
And then if there still are gifts left, and you
still have time without clogging up our war ma
chinery, please remember each Of us grownups.
But whatever you do do it now. Do it as
quickly as you can. We don't want to miss this
Christmas, and that will be the fate of millions of
us if you delay in shopping and mailing.
Speed up Santa,

MODERATE MR.. LANCER.
L. s. A., Today.

The socialist press bureau declares that Attor-
ney General LANCER has not set aside the bone dry
law or any of it's provisions, and Mr.. LANCER him
self declares that he has merely held 'that whis-
key and brandy may be considered medicines, and
can be brought into the state for their treatment
(of influenza, etc. in the manner prescribed by
law, during the period of the epidemic only
The self-restraint Of Mr.. LANCER in refraining
from cancelling this law and making another at
his pleasure is remarkable. One wonders how he
did it.
But, unless Mr.. LANCER is making the laws to
suit himself, it is not clear on what authority he
'permits liquor to be imported into the state for
the treatment of influenza and refuses like per-
mission in other diseases for which physician
may prescribe these stimuants. The law seems
to say nothing about influenza. It prescribes con-
ditions under which liquor may or may not be i'm
ported into the state. Just how or why Mr.. LANCER
applies this to influenza and not to some other dis
ease is mystery. ~ -..s....-~.-. ..--.-t
There is still some curiosity as to why the So
calist press refrains from mentioning the opinion
of Justice Robnson-eected by their own votes
to the effect that this law is unconstitutional

AN OPEN LETTER TO SANTA CLAUS.
r, G, A


This is to let you know that our Christmas hour
has struck Earlier this year than ever before,
but this is an extraordinary year. one the like Of
which has never come before, and may never
return. It is year of war, Santa Claus, and it is
most important year. 1t is year in which we
have put aside many things we had considered
necessary to our happiness and comfort. 1t is
year in which we lay the foundation for the great
est victory we have achieved, winning the worlds
freedom from the foe of liberty.
We have given ourselves over to fighting this
war. Beside it all things are incidental. Even so
we are now regarding your avocation, that of MAX
ing the world merry. It is more needful that the
world be made free, and that liberty be assured
all humanity, than that each Of give and receive
Christmas cheer. But we do not ban Christmas
gifts. We do not bar Christmas cheer. We do
not ask you to discontinue your highly pleasing
habit of visiting us on Christmas eve. We want
you to come.
But we want you to come early!
That's the point we wish to make in this letter,
dear Santa Cluas. Come, but come early. 1t may
have been permissible in other years for you to
loaf all year in your North Pole home (or wherever
it is that you live) and hitch up your reindeers
about supper time on Christmas eve for hurry
up trip to chimney tops round bout here, but not
this Christmas!
It might, once, have been all right for you and
good old Mrs Santa Claus to postpone your Christ
mas shopping until the snow flies, and do your
Christmas mailing in md-December and complete
your Christmasing the last minute
But not this Christmas, dear Santa!
This is going to be different Christmas.
We are fighting war the biggest war of all
time, and we must not allow your dilatory ways to
interfere. You must adopt our wartime program:
Speed! Full Steam Ahead! Keep Going!
You haven't minute to lose, dear Santa. if you
want to keep pace with us this year. If you want
to make our Christmas merry, you must get busy
right away You can't put off until tomorrow, or
next week, what you ought to be doing this hour.
Do it now, Santa!
Do your shopping now. Carry home your own
parcels. Do your packing o soon IS you get home

KULTUR TO CULTURE.

There has been much speculation regarding the
proximity of day when, war will be impossible.
Already science has collection of weird con-
trivances for which their inventors claim any
thing up to complete annihilation of entire
armies.
Many believe that instruments will be conceived
which, if used, might blight humankind from the
earth.
Interest of this nature has grown rife during
the present strife Some of the chimerical schemes
and death-making machines have been fancifully
portrayed in more or less technical periodicals.
In this country, delverance from wars horror
is most widely anticipated as an outcome Of prog
ress in the electrical field.
Imaginative intelects have already dreamed Of
hurting thunderbolts, substituting ingenious
things of cogs and wire for the sinews of Thor's
mighty arm.
In Germany, the idea seems to have been to
make Mars powerless in behalf of any nation other
than Hunland
Science there chooses for it's weapon deadly
germs. Their arsenals are laboratories, their
thunderbolts cultures of coccus, microbes and
bacilli
They find fiendish pleasure in the possession of
power to loose plague upon the world if it be
their wish.
Fortunately there is the menace Of the boomer
ang to limit the possibilities of such develishness
Once the germs are liberated there is no means
whereby their toll can be confined to certain peo-
pies and places. ...s...
In some cases, perhaps the perpetrators have
also the only sure antidote for the disease they
spread. But it is likely that in most instances,
zeal will out-dstance caution Man has ever
found it easier to destroy than to create or offset
his work of destruction.
To end war, to terminate the slaughter of bat
tlefleds, there is a means more effective, more
certain, more practical than either Of the above.
Education! Universal enlightenment! The pass
ing Of the brute in humankind, a step toward
Utopia and the Brotherhood Of Man, Nations and
Races. E'
1t means purging of the beast passions, de-
velopment of the finer qualities; subservience Of
the physical to the mental; broadening of indiv-
idual outlook upon life's problems less sefshness,
greater consideration for others as We journey
life's way together. Idealistic? Maybe so, but
Ideals beckon onward and we must move ahead.

hog feeding it is well to empha-
size the value of the soy bean.
Many people who are not famiI-
lar with it confuse it with the
velvet bean. While the velvet
bean runs on the corn and does
damage to a certain extent, the
soy bean grows up straight like
cotton and, like cotton. sends
down a tap root into the subsoil.
Here it takes its nourishment
from the stratas that the corn
roots never reach. 1t crowds

derived nitragen with the corn
growing along with it. These
are some of the facts and rea-
sons that support the claim that
soy beans do not damage corn
one bushel.
| have seen numbers of fields
where this was the case. On
the other hand it is possible to
raise from ten to twenty bushels
along with the corn. A good
average produced by the farm
ers around Wren, in Monroe
county, is Is bushels. At $500
a bushel this is $45.00, or as
much as the corn is worth. Two
men can easily gather 30 BUSH
els a day. The gathering is the
only eltra expense outside of the
seed. In this time when we
need money so bad the man who
overlooks this chance to pick up
some extra money is throwing
away his opportunity.

ing a total of S95.75 for feed.
When sold the hogs weighed
1875 and brought the top of the
market here or 16 cents. His
called for $316, 90. subtract;ng
from this the total cost. it will be
found that he had STOPS for his
labor. He estimated that his
total time consumed in feeding
and watering was not over Il
hours for the entire six weeks.
In other words. for two days
labor he $ot STOPS. a little over
$50. 00:a day. Ionly hope the day
will come when the Demonstra-
ton agents can earn as much.
The thing | want to call your
attention to is the fact that an
average of the three different
feeding tests shows that the
hogs paid over three dollars a
bushel for the corn if the cost of
labor is left out of consideration.
The only thing you have to do to
make money is to get more good
hogs. You can afford to buy
corn and pay $1.75 bushel for
it. That is what the big hog
ranch down at Aberdeen is do
ing. They are buying both hogs
and corn and putting them to-
gether and walking off with the
profits. Why don't you do it
right on your own firm. People
have been unloading so many
good healthy unfinished hogs on
the Okolona market that Col.
Edens has gone into the feeding
business on a large scale. He
has put about $50 hogs on his
alfalfa field north of town where
they are making splendid gains
on corn and alfalfa.
Col. Edens says the punches
of self fed hogs that he has
bought have all been extra good.
| think Okolona is destined to
become one of the leading hog
producing centers of Mississippi.
There were over $5000.00 worth
of hogs marketed here a couple
of Saturdays ago and about
$4O00.0O worth the Saturday
before that.

For the benefit of those who
may want to try the self feeder,
| will tell my experience with
them. In the latter part of jan
uary, Mr.. Lee Henderson built
me a self feeder on the pattern
of those at the M. C F. Bank
and later | put up IL shotes and
and began to feed them cotton
seed meal and corn.
The II shotes weighed 98l
pounds. Hogs of this size were
selling at 10 cents the week ! be-
gun feeding. At Is cents they
would have brought S127.5 So.
fed them 80 bushels of corn
and So. rs worth of cotton seed
meal. At $1.75 for the corn my
feed cost me $55.25. When |
sold the hogs they weighed 144O
pounds and brought me $3.50. 40.
The increase due to feeding
was $102.93. To after deduct
ing the cost and selling them my
feed at a good market price, |
had $47.75 for my trouble.
think the self feeder is the
best way to feed fattening hogs
that | have ever tried.
E. M. Sullivan.
The good results obtained by
the self feeder continue to come
in.
Last Saturday | rode to Arte-
STA with Mr.. N. E. Cook, of the
Chalk Bluff neighborhood, and
he gave me the results of the
feeding experiment which he put
on for me some time back.
He started feeding his couple
of weeks later than his bother
Carl and fed six weeks instead
of four, and he used the self
feeder for the whole period.
His pigs when he put them up
weighed 1900 pounds and he
said they would have brought
12a cents that week, as some of
. the same were sold by one of his
neighbors for that price. He
fed them So bushels of corn and
