'sPORKLESS DAYS WELL
 OBSERVED"- JOHNSON

The News has just received word from Alex A. Johnson, food administrator of Coconino county that porkless Tues days and Saturdays have been we'll observed in Arizona. In this state it has not as yet, been found necessary to make the order mandatory, as the mere statement that the government desired these days to be pork less, has resulted in the merch- ants in. most towns in the state coming to an agreement to re- frain from selling pork on these days. In California and many other states the order has been made mandatory, with the penalty, of revoking the licen- ses of licensed markets and cutting off the supply from small markets not having licen- ses, attached as punishment that will be administered in case of violation of the ruling.
 MT. Johnson states that while the order has not been made mandatory in Arizona, it is the desire of the food admin istration that it shall be rigidly observed. In Flagstaff the mer- chants have voluntarily come to an agreement not to sell pork on either Tuesdays or Satur- days, until after six o'clock. The assumption is that any pork sold after six o'clock would be for use on the follow ing day. This would apply par ticularly on Saturday nights and would permit the purchase of pork on that night for Sun- day use.
 While MT. Johnson has not yet been able to take up the matter of the observance of the porkless days with the merch- ants, in Williams, he is pleased to learn that many of the mer- chants here have voluntarily observed these days, and he hopes that an agreement may be reached whereby all will conform to some such ruling as that observed in Flagstaff. He stated further that incase these days did not come to be univer- sally observed turnout the state the order would pro bly, be made mandatory in Arizona as in other states.

MEETING 0F FARMERS, FEB. 23

VI 1IuIuI6ssOy @0s AO
 Tn Williams farmers were an enthusiastic crowd on Sat urday afternoon, Feb. 23d. A large attendance insured agood working basis. Business was pushed so as to get through be- fore night.
 County Agent Nichols read reports on the prices of pota- toes. The farmers were not much encouraged with the pros poets for marketing their pota- toes so most of them have de- cided to increase their acreage of grain this season and cut the acreage of potatoes down. They will order large quantities of seed oats, wheat, barley, speltz, and sudan grass. By thus ordering large quantities the farmers make their first saving through the organiza- ton. The farmer who orders 100 pounds of seed gets them at the same price as the farmer who orders a ton. Hence the farmer of small means reaps the greatest benefit from the organization.
 The organization has the following seeds on hand that it will dispose of to those who want them: potatoes, peach blows, early six weeks, white pearl and mammoth pearl !; beans, pink and pinto and mill let, german.
 MT. Harry Boulin- reports that a number of new home steaders were trying to locate in this vicinity. He reported that it is difficult to get home steads now because the officers in charge of the public lands don't turn loose of agricultural land as readily as they used to. It is to be regretted that a homesteader must take his case to Washington to get favorable action when the farmers who know from experience what land is agricultural, certify that it is agricultural land.
 The permanent Sales-buying committee is composed of V. H. Melick, l.. w. Cureton, and Ed Hunter. This committee has charge of all financial affairs of the organization. All buying and selling by the organization will be through this committee
 The organization voted that the wives of the members be considered members of the or ganization, and Mrs. G. W. Mitchell was appointed to look after the women's side of the organization. This should re- suit in helping the ladies in pre- serving farm products, as they can compare and exchange methods, recipes, etc.
 Action was taken to fight the prairie dog pest. The farmers will cooperate with MT. Gil christ in this work.
 The follwing new members were voted into the organiza- tion: w. F. Thomasson, Ed Roup, c. c. Carpenter, M. D. Boyett, Patric Johnston, Vim McGee, and w. O. Basham.

In almost any community there is
grandma who knows Mothers Friend:
Not only is she reminiscent of her own
experience. but it was through her
recommendation that so many expect
ant mothers derived the comfort and
blessing of this famous remedy.
Mothers Friend is an external ap-
plication prepared especial for expect
ant mothers after the formula of a
noted family physician. 1t certainly
has a wonderful effect in relieving
tension brought about by expanding
muscles, and is a most grateful en-
couragement to the woman awaiting
motherhood
The action of Mothers Friend makes
the muscles free, plant and respon-
sive. When baby arrives they expand
easily, and pain and danger at the
crisis is naturally less.
Strain upon the nerves and liga-
ments is lessened and in place of a
period Of discomfort and consequent
dread. it is a season of calm repose and
happy anticipation.
Mothers Friend enables the mother
to preserve her health and natural
grace and she remains pretty mother
by having avoided the pain and suffer
ing which more often than otherwise
accompanies such an occasion when
nature is unaided.
Write the Bradfield Regulator Co.. X
eos Lamar Bldg, Atlanta, Ga, for their
Motherhood Book so valuable to eX-
pectant mothers, and in the meantime
do not by any chance fail to purchase
a bottle of Mothers Friends from the
druggist and thus fortify yourself
against pain and discomfort. Mothers
Friend should be applied night and
morning with the utmost regularity

Dear Mrs. Thompson: | am girl

he was going with me all the time and
was very happy because ] like him
and l have never gone with boy
before. The last night we went to-
gether he was just as friendly as ever,
but it has been three weeks now and
| haven't heard word from him.
What do you think is the matter? Do
YOU think some one has told him
some untruths about me or do you
think he is just tired Of me?
WORRIED.
The boy probably likes you just as
we'll as ever and one Of these days
he will seek your company again
Don't wonder about it. Just be con-
tented and do not look for him. Sure
ly no one has said anything unkind
about you. Don't worry. because it
is only natural that he should have
other things to do and might not think
of taking girl out so soon unless
there was something very special go
ing on.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am twenty
years old. and mother thinks l will
have to go to France when they take
the next draft. AS her birthday is

a present to remember me-something
not very expensive?

me TO go TO Valentine party with
him that he is going to have at his
home. Do you think / am fair to
him if / go?
DOUBTFUL DOTTY.
1t is all right for you to go to the
party. Evidently he Graves compan-
ionship. and you. might az we'll be
the one to go with him as anyone
else. DO not act or talk as if you
love him. Simply be true friend in
platonic way.
In reply to Just Sixteen. 1) AS
long as you have a free conscience
and know that you and your cousin
did nothing wrong, you should not
fear your husbands opinion. Be more
independent and not so fearful that he
will misjudge you. In the future, how
ever, it will be tactful not to go with
your cousin since your husband objects
and it causes hard feelings.

one year to receive the attentions OF
men. She should not go with them
too much, however.

FAT THAT SHOWS
SOON DISAPPEARS

Prominent fat that comes and stays
where it is not needed is a burden: a
Endurance to activity, a curb upon
pleasure. You can take off the fat
where it shows by taking after each
meal and at bedtime, one Marmola
Prescription Tablet. These little tab
lets are as effective and harmless as
the famous prescription from which
they take their name. Buy and try a
case today. Your druggist sells them
at 10 cents or if you prefer you may
write direct to the Marmola Co, S64
Woodward Ave, Detroit, Mich. You
can thus say goodbye TO dieting, ex-
ercise and fat.-Adv.

METHODS OF LEFLORE PLANTERS
ENDORSED BY GREAT FARM. PAPER

The current issue Of The Country
Gentleman carries an illustrated arti-
Gle that pays high tribute, justly due,
to two of Leflore County's most sub
stantial planters - Messrs. Oscar
Bledsoe, Jr., of Shellmound and Lor-
aine Craig, of Greenwood. The writ
er Of the article uses the pen name
of "John Roland
The theme of the article is "Cotton
Hands that Stay" and is the second
of series under the heading. The
first, which appeared week ago, fea-
tured DR.. Arterbury of Washington
County and Sheriff Dean of Bolivar.
Speaking of these two men of Le-
fore the writer says in part:
Humane and Honest Treatment.
Humane and honest treatment of
the negro plantation worker gets re-
suits, especially when coupled with
efficient plantation management. This
is illustrated by both the Dean and the
Atterbury methods. The older sys-
tenn has been in operation more than
forty years; the other nearly thirty.
1t is significant that younger men in
another community forty or fifty
miles away from the Washington-Bol-
war territory have found that the ap-
plication of like principles gets like
results. These men are Oscar Bled-
soc, of Shellmound, and W. L. Craig,
of Greenwood, both residents of Le-
fore County-the last delta county
due east of the river communities
previously visited.
1t is seventeen years since MIR. Bled-
soc took over the family plantation.
Then there were 1900 acres in culti-
walton. Now there are 5000.
Cotton is my business" he ex-
planned, when describing his methods.
Feed your hands well; see that
they clear money every year; don't
try to trade all the money out of
them; give them plenty to do when
they are not in their crops and pay
them cash for it; work them hard,
but see that they are comfortable, and
they'll stay with you" That is the
substance of the Bledsoe system.
A keen business man, Oscar Bled-
soc is regarded by older planters with
The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1918-01-02

the respect that is always accorded to
the man who meets the ,ommunity
test of success. In the delta that test
is cotton planting. Although Mr..
Bledsoe emphasizes the fact that his
labor policy is merely part of his
carefully developed management sys-
TEN, his humorous friendliness and
his keen enjoyment of the negro
character doubtless play an important
part in holding his labor.
An Instance of His Success.
That he is successful in attaining
the two-fold object of labor manage
ment, in that he keeps the laboror
hopeful and wins the confidence Of the
negro, is strikingly showpshy q recent
Loan was being seeurxtess.ir. Bled-
Loan was benig secured. Mr.. Bled-
soc was the committeeman for the
Shellmound district of Leflore Coun-
ty. He set the example for his neigh
bors and for his own tenants by un-
derwriting the sale Of $4,000 worth
of bonds. Then he called his tenants
together at the church, told them what
he had done, explained what good
investment the bonds were and asked
them to think it over, adding that if
they wanted to buy bonds to come to
him later in the week. At this point
one negro rose and said:
eve doesn't have to wait to make
up our minds. The time to do thing
is now. wants to take bond"
That started the ball rolling and in
a few moments $4,000 had been sub
scribed.
II planned to sell them only $4,000
worth of bonds" Mr.. Bledsoe told me.
"But before the week was out the
negroes had over-s subscribed that
amount. Vver hundred of my ten
ants took bonds, and one Of my neigh
bors sold bond to every tenant he
had.'
Another illustration Of success in
labor management is to be found on
the plantation of W. L. Craig located
just outside the Greenwood city limits.
Nearness to such thriving commun-
ity as this county seat introduces GER
tain difficulties; but these Mr.. Craig
has overcome. For example, recently
