GRAND JURY REPORT.
To the Honorable J. D. Carr,
Judge of the Eighth Circuit Dis
trict of Mississippi:
We, the Grand Jury, at the
January, 1918 term of the circuit
court, do hereby beg to make
this our final report.
We have been in session five
days and have examined IS wit
nesses, and voted and returned
II indictments.
We have made diligent inquiry
as to violations of the law, but
have not returned an Indictment
except where in we believe that
the evidence is sufficient to sus-
tain the charge.
We have investigated the case
of the State against Roger Kin
caid, who is under bond to ap-
pear at this term of the court on
a charge of murder: we failed to
return an Indictment in this case
and mention this fact so as to
give his bondsmen notice that
they are hereby released from
his bond.
We find remarkable improve
ment in the condition Of the high
ways of our county, and we trust
that our supervisors will carry
the good work on, and that fin
ally Rankin County's highways
will come up to any within our
state.
We have examined the pau
per's home and find that the pau
pers are comfortable clothed,
and from appearances, we be-
lieve that the home is we'll kept.
We have not made an audit of
the books of our county officers
as we do not feel equal to the
task, however, the county audi
tor has reported to us that all
public funds have been paid into
their properS channels and that
the books arp regular and well
kept.
We have received uniform cour-
tesy on the s3art of all officers
having duties connected with oul
work.
We now beg to be finally dis.
charged. 3. II. Corley,

Rankin County cooperating with
the United States Government
have placed a County Agent al
the disposal of the people OF
Rankin County. There is a two
fold purpose in this move: first,
to assist the people in producing
more Of the things necessary fol
home consumption and for
foreign markets; second, to assist
them in marketing their surplus
products for shipment so they
will reach the consumer in the
best possible condition.
The above aims can be accom-
plished only with the consent of
the people and their cooperation
with the county agent. Allow me
to ask you to turn your influence
and efforts to more diversified
system of farming, and a more
profitable method of marketing,
for these are the means by which
your bank account and happiness
are increased. It takes a mental
as we'll as a physical effort to
make any enterprise a success, so
we must get together, exchange
ideas, offer suggestions and lend
a helping hand in every other
way possible. If you are a 'past
master" and know all you want
to know then give the other. fell
ow the advantage of your expert
ence and information. Perhaps
you have put into practice and
made profitable an idea that is
entirly new to your neighbor.
1t is my purpose and desire to
help put Rankin County in the
lead from an agricultural stand
point. The few days that | have
been here have brought me in
contact with many Rankin Coun-
ty citizens, and | must say that
I never .had the privilege of mix
ing with more intelligent and
enthusiastic men. [ already see
sure possibilities for this county
becoming a representative sec
ton of the South in live stock and
agricultural products. It is not
my intention to dictate to you
how to run your business or to
interfere with your plans in any
way. want to offer, at your
request, suggestions that will
perhaps bring you more profit,
and to give you the advantage of
ex perience and information that
possibly you have not had the
opportunity of getting. You will
not find me to be an orthodox
theorist and scientist; | only ad-
wise and advocate a science that
is practical and within the power
of every person | am to serve.
I was raised on the farm, and
educated at an agricultural coll
ege. My information came
through experience and practice,
and I'm sure that / can be of
service to you in many ways.
If we are to have prosperous
farms, better institutions and
happier homes, then we must all,
farmers, editors, merchants, doc
tors, lawyers. preachers, teach
ers and bankers, assemble our
efforts and push for the common
good of all. We must realize our
state of interdependence and de-
termine to better our own condit-
ion and at the same time help
our neighbor.
I will be in the court house at
Brandon every Saturday. Come
to see me, and let's start some
thing that will be profitable to
you. My time is yours, SO don't
fail to use me.
Information Of a more detailed
nature will appear in this paper
next week. Hoping for us all a
pleasant and profitable year to-
gether. / am,

Stores TO Sell stann.

To make War Savings and Thrift
Stamps more accessible to the people
than postage stamps is the plan of
the Kansas War Savings organiza-
ton. Stores, Offices, factories and
public places in every part of the
state are asked to arrange with the
banks for supplies of stamps. A regu-
lation sign, "War Savings Stamps for
Sale Here" is being supplied these
stations through the city and county
chairmen- It is the purpose of the
Kansas Committee to have one sales
station for every 100 persons in the
state.
The War Savings and Thrift Cam
paign is going fine in Kansas, so re-
ports P. W. Goebel, State Director of
Kansas City, Kansas. With the most
thorough and efficient organization
ever formed in the state for any great
cause the sales of War Savings and
Thrift Stamps are mounting high.
But it is going to require perisis-
tent work to carry the savings and
thrift idea into every home in Kan
sas, and to show the people the neces-
sity of saving and lending money to
Uncle Samuel to win the war, as well
as to convince them of the permanent
benefits thatare to come tothemselves

ing savers instead of spenders

We Showed Germany the Way

IF Secretary Redfield were more
familiar with the commercial history
of America and Germany he probab-
" would not have included the fol-
owing sentence in bulletin which he
recently issued to the press:
Secretary Redfied eounsels not
imitation of, but familiarity with, the
German theories of foreign trade and
the artfui and formidable organiza-
every turn, has been built up in Ger
many during the last twenty years to
dominate the worlds markets"
When it comes to a matter of imi-
tation. Mr. Redfeld might with profit
look back to 1873, when the German
chancellor. Pisnler rex, addressing the
reiehtag, said:
''I am convinced that the unex-
ampled prosperity of the United
States is largely due to its Protec-
tive Tariff system. md 7 think that
ths-time has now arrived when Ger
many should initiate that system in
order to more fully develop its ma
tura1 resources and to more proftab1y
employ its labor"
+ And upon that suggestion, Ger
many did initiate the American Pro-
tective Tariff system. As a eonse-
working in harmony Herewith, she
reached the stage of commercial de-
velopment to which Mr.. Redfeld al
ludes is dominating the worlds mar
kets.
There is no need for America to
initiate German policies Germany
had the good sense to initiate Amer
lean policies, and what is chiefly
necessary is for America to reinstate
those policies which Mr.. Redfield's
party forced America to abandon in
1913. With those policies reinstated
and with men of the constructive
tyne of craftsmanship restored to the
control of Congress and the admins
trative branch Of the government,
we shall be able to work out our own
policies without initiating any other
nation on the face Of the globe

by great nation at war. They wear
