VINO is Guilty Of Profiteer.ng ?


The trade commission says the
packers and millers have been pro-
fiteering. The packers deny it. Well
somebody has been getting it and
we'd like to know who, If only from
curiosity. In this connection let us
tell OF a little transaction, says the
editor of the Waverly Republican.
On July l, 1918, we paid $1.0O
for about 20 pounds of cracked corn
that is what it was called, but It
was a mixture of cracked corn,
shriyeled wheat, weed seed and plain
dirt. The same day we also bought of
a farmer 100 pounds of ear corn
at least 95 per cent sound-for
which we paid $3.50. At the same
price that amount of ear corn would
make $500 worth of cracked corn.
We know at least one fellow who
did not ''profiteer" in that deal!

MANY WILL PLANT WHEAT

The Jackson Board of Trade is mal
 ing a live campaign for a greater wheat crop in the counties adjacent to Jackson, and are greatly encouraged to believe that every farmer in this section will plant a patch of at least three acres for every family on his place. At called meeting of the board this week J. N. Lpscomb. demonstra- ton agent for Hinds county, gave it a S his opinion he would have 10000 acres. Harry Parker. agent for Holmes coun- ty, stated he had the promise of 1000 acres. There were no reports from Madison or Rankin, but it is known the farmers thereof are going to do their duty by themselves and their country ana raise all the wheat they can
 STATE TAX COMMISSION
 For several weeks the state tax con- mission has been at work figuring out averages on various forms of personal property in the several counties These nave been sent to the boards of super visors and are now being acted on. It IS presumed the supervisors will accept the valuations as suggested by the tax commission. but in the event they do not there is a way of making them accept them--the supreme court having decided year or more against those few coun- ties that refused to fix values as made by the state commission. There is a very great difference in these valuations and all of them are increases over last year An example is found in the case of live stock-mules 'n Coahoma county being as sessed at s150 while thore in Wilkinson are put down at S75. In the majority of counties mules are valued at from $SO to $100 Horses are valued much lower. and in only eight counties are they placed at as much as $S5. The average value on cattle is $20 per head and in

SAIL SOON FOR ITALY

Carrying a gospel of mercy and good cheer. 10 sisters of the order of St. vincent and St. Paul, better known as Sisters of Charity, will sail soon TOT Italy, where, as Red Cross nurses. they will pursue the mission for which the order was founded, that of comfort ing and caring for the sick and wounded
 The sisters, who are from base hos pital lO2. Birmingham, are a part of unit to be known as the Loyola unit. which IS financed by Mrs. John Dibert of New Orleans. They went to New fork with 90 other nurses belonging to the unit. It was at the suggestion of Dr. J. A. Danna of New Orleans who is to be in charge of the unit that Mrs Dibert donated s100,O00 to the Red Cross to be used in finanicng inc entire expedition. Sister Chrysostom IS to be the chief nurse of the unit
 When the unit arrives in Italy. it will be divided into groups of 10. each group to be in charge of one of the sis ters as chief nurse. Speaking for the sisters, Sister Chrysostom said: We are all registered nurses, and are anx- lous to go across and get to work.,' When asked if they weer volunteers. she replied: All sisters of charity are anxlous to go, so it was necessary to select us. We will have charge of the operating rooms and hope to do our full duty in bringing our American ooys back to health and happiness.'
 War nursing is not new to Sister Chrysostom, as she was a Red Cross nure during the Spanish American war having served at the naval hospital. portsmouth, Va, and at the army hos pital. Fort Thomas, Ky What was a new experience for these harbingers or good was having their pictures taken. They only consented because they thought it was patriotic sacri- flee and that they might serve as an example for others to follow. .sIt will be the happiest moment of our llves when we are ministering to the wounded and sick in Italy" said Sister Chrysostom, 'sthe sisterhood feels keenly the desire to be of the most utmost service in caring for the soldiers of Italy and any other of the allies of America"
 War makes it's demand upon the woman power of America as we'll as upon her man power, and all who can do so, no matter what the sacrifice should serve the interest of Americas s part in the war.
 There is no more important task be-. lore the country at this time than the building up of a nursing service large enough to care for the sick and wound ed American and allied fighting men. and it is the duty of all trained nurses to enlist for this service through the American Red Cross"

gives out statement to the effect that he will be nominated on the first primary by majority of 30,000 votes. The Harrison committee chairman is- sues a rejoinder claiming a victory for his chief by 25,000 on the first round-in either of which event, as matter of course, there will be no sec ond primary two weeks later.
 It is confidently believed here at Jackson that the Vardaman contingent is whistling just to keep up their spir- its and encourage its one-t time friends to stand to the rack. Everything points to the defeat of Vardaman and he and his campaign managers are badly scared--so badly demoralixed since the appearance of the letter from Presi- dent Wilson that it is impossible to get one of them to bet even money on results any more, and they are said to be demanding odds at two to one.

BAYyIEW UNIT

The Bay View unit has wonderful re- port of faithful work accomplished. Or ganized last September. with 25 members, the unit has met regularly on Mondays and Fridays at the schoolhouse, where they have sewing room fitted with every convenience for the work.
 Mrs. w. H. Ellis is chairman, and has divided the unit into two divisions, with Mrs Phillips and Mrs Burgin as cap tains. healthy rivalry exists between them, resulting in many completed hospi- tai garments. and finely knitted socks and sweaters. A French orphan has been adopted by the unit which has also given $11Q to the Red Cross.
 A colored unit of F members has re- gently been organized. Lunches are served by these women from which has been cleared $100, which is to be given to the Red Cross
 The Bayview unit is the same which recently purchased and auctioned to the highest bidder goat, which has proved itself nuisance to good society. but which went far toward redeeming it's character by the sum realized for the Red Cross.

WANT THEIR STATUS FIXED

At a meeting of the executive com mittee of the state council for national defense few days since the war de- partment was appealed to in a series of resolutions to fix the military sta tus' of about 100 men employed in Mississippi in farm extension work. as county demonstrators, etc, so that they may know for certain whether or not they are to be called on for military duty. This petition shows what Missis- sippi farmers produced in 1909 and in 1917, to prove that they were helping to win the war. and under direction. of these extension forces. The corn crop in 1909 was 28,492O 900 bushels, in 1917 it was 84,000,000. Wheat increased from 11,000 to 210,000 bushels: oats. 2,4oo,o00 to 5,7oo,0o0; potatoes, 7S3,o90 to 1,092,000; sweet potatoes from 5.390.- 900 to 5,525,000; velvet beans, Is, 900 to 12,000,000; soy beans, 5000 to 1,20O, ,00C: milk cattle, 330,000 head to 50S,O0o; other cattle 577,000 to 644.O00 head hogs. 1,290,OoO to 1,e2O oO0 It is feared that in the event these farm demon- strators are sent to the war the farm CTS of Mississippi will fall back into their old all-cotton ruts. thus endan- gering larger food production
