paign. which began on April sth, closed
on May 4th with a lgreat victory for
Noxubee county.
The county has made q record Of
which It may Ibe justly proud. The
quota assigned rs by the central CON-
mittee Of the Liberty Loan organiza-
ton for the Eighth Federal Reserve
district was $127, 7,050. All Of Us thought
this would be hard 10 get.
For thus undertaking our county we
make most humble:apology. We under.
estimated by far; the patriotic. fervor
of our people, 40 the results show. for
instead Of reporting to the Reserve
bank the subscriptions for only our
county's quota, we have reported more
than 500, 900 over the quota. The Lib
erty Loan organization for Noxubee
county reported subscriptions to the
amount of 1927, 600.
The banks of the county did their full
duty and gave the finest cooperation In
the most efficient manner, displaying
the highest quality of patriotic zeal.

at has been suggested that our re-

excessive slaughtering. If it does, we
are in a position to control the trans
port of meat, and we are taking steps
to license the slaughter house. A con-
dition of the license will be that no
more than a certain number of cattle
are slaughtered per week. We also
propose to control the sales through
the auctions, and we can limit the
quantity there. In the course of a
month or two we hope to be able to
determine approximately what guam
tity of meat ought to go to each indus
trial area and to limit the quantity II
necessary. Maximum wholesale meat
prices for the whole kingdom have
been fixed independently of the cost OF
transport, but we hope to meet the
danger that producing areas, because
of this, might get more than their fair
share of supplies by fixing fiat rail-
way rate.

WINTER RULES.

Protect your animals from the
cold. This will make them more
comfortable, and will save you
feed.
Stop the holes in your barn.
Board in your tie-up.
An old horse, especially, like
an old man, feels the cold.
Blanket your horses on frosty
nights in the fall, when their
coats are short.
Give your horses and cattle a
good bed. Bedding is cheap.
Water your horses at least
three times q day. The stomach
of the horse is very small.
Pulctuality in feeding and wa
tering the stock is very impOr-
tant. They viii worry and lose
flesh if kept waiting beyond the
regular time.
A good grooming costs no
J money, and is equal to two
quarts of oats.
A horse cannot thrive on hay
alone. He needs oats or corn for
strength; and grass, bran or Do
tatoes to keep his bowels right.
Keep your horses feet soft,
and have him shOd often. More
feet are ruined in the stable than
on the road.
Do not degrade your family by
using lame horse.
Kill the WORKOUT or incurably
lame horse, If you sell him, the
money that you receive is blood

There has been no more battling

said Secretary Daniels in his annual
report, referring to the disappearance
of the vessel.
Probably not until the sea gives up

to md the vessel or learn her fate.
They awaited nothing. -
Unlike most OF the vessels that the
sea has swallowed and left no trace
of, the Cyclops was a modern steam
ship OF 10000 tons. equipped with
wireless and every device known to
safeguard a ship and those on board.
She was well officered and had a crew
OF 2l3. There were also % passengers.
Not one has been heard from since
the Cyclops steamed out OF Barbados
