HUGH LAFAYETTE RODGERS

The subject of this sketch depart
ed this life at his home in Saltillo,
Miss, on Jan. 10, 1918, and his body
was laid to rest in the Saltillo GEM
etery Jan. II, 1918, to await the res
direction morn.
For about a year he had suffered
greatly with Brights' disease and all
during that time he was faithfully
and tenderly cared for by his wife,
who was Miss Sallie Kennedy before
her marriage to Mr.. Rodgers in May,
1912.
Mr.. Rodgers made a deep study
of the Bible and took a great interest
in Sunday School and church work.
Triumphantly, joyfully his spirit
went to be with God and the loved
ones that had gone on before, and
when for us "the last battle is fought,
and the last victory won" we shall
expect from him a glorious welcome
to the Fathers house land there we
will join with him in singing praise
to Father, Son and ever blessed Spir-
it in that world that shall never end.
A Friend.

LETTER FROM SERGEANT
PRIDDY

Camp Beauregard, La, Jan. 10
Dear Mother:--I will write you a few
lines just to let you know how ! am
getting along. ! feel fine today.
feel ertra well now, as we got pay
today. When they blew the bugle
for the "ghost to walk you just
ought to have heard the soldier boys
hollow. 1t is the first pay day we
have had in two months, and you can
just guess how we appreciated it.
Mama, / took out $4,000 worth of
insurance and made it to you. 1t
will cost me $3.45 a month, but |
think it is the cheapest insurance go
ing, and it is a very good way for
me to spend my money and to show
my appreciation of a mother. / guess
you will get the policy soon. Now
YOU see if / go across the slough and
don't come back you will get some
thing for your old, mean boy, and
another thing about it is that if |
was to get disabled for life | would
draw $25 a month the balance of my
life; so YOU see that it is the best in
surance that is going and that Uncle
Sam is going to take care of his boys.
But if I go across the slough you can
just look for me back home some day,
for l am coming. | don't believe that
those Germans can hit me, but you
know, mama, that it pays to be on
the safe side, so I thought | would
take the insurance, for it will be
good if l get out of the army without
going to France.
i. Well, mama, | will close as the
lieutenant wants the typewriter.
With a heart full of love for all, |
am the same old boy that would like
to see you all. Answer soon. Your
loving son,
Sergt. John K. Priddy.

70. t1ays are bringing from $1,000
to $4,000 per ton. Even shucks are
finding a ready sale, bringing from
$500 up. Cob meal is selling from
$1,000 up. Dat. straw is bringing
$4,000.
Every part of the corn plant has a
ready demand, corn, cobmeal, shuck
and slower.
But the point is that there are
practically none of these commodi-
ties for sale, and it seems that we are
face to face with the most acute feed
shortage in the history of the state,
and we must get ready for 1918. In
certain of our largest distributing
centers, shelled corn can not be had
at any price.
All lands that can be gotten in
proper shape ought to be planted to
corr in March. The best seed ought
to be used and not too sparingly.
And fertilizers ought to be used more
literally than usual, and must be
laid in at an early date if they are
to be had in time to use in growing
the 1918 crop.
1t is up to us all to see to it that
the several. counties plant their al
lotted quotas. It is good business
and a patriotic duty. We can't afford
to go to our neighbors to borrow.
They are supplying the boys in
France and our Allies. Many of our
Allies are suffering for food.

All corn that has been for sale ov-
er the state has brought a fair price,
approximately $3.50 per bushel, as
we estimated at the beginning of the
selling season. In certain localities
the average price has not been so
good, due in most cases to the fact
that these localities were without the
service of a government county
agent. In all localities, however,
there has been a ready sale and there
is a well established market for corn
throughout the state. When we Were
calling for a larger acreage IN 1917
there was some apprehension as 20
whether or not corr could be salts
factorily marketed. This feeling does
not now exist, and could not in view
of the satisfactory results the county
agents have gotten.

of January was the smallest in years,

Decorative Wall Paper

During Seventeenth Century

Among many other and useful beau

to the Chinese, wall paper is mot the

Dispatch. This decorative paper for
walls seems 20 have first appeared In
Europe toward the end of the seven
tenth century. II was brought to
France by overseas traders. and the
French Immediately perceived the pos
abilities thus offered. The paper did
not come in rolls. as we have 1t today,
but in sheets about three and one-half
feet wide by ten feet In length. Some
OF the finest grades were printed BY
hand and the cheaper grades from
woodenDblocks. The patterns represent.
ed animals. temples. warriors and all
the other familiar figures Of Chinese
art. The French called these new wall
coverings 'pagoda papers," and It soon
became the fashion to have at least
one or two rooms in every home of any
pretensions finished with "paEoda pa

Throughout the eighteenth century
the custom gradually spread. Both In
