Red Cross War Funds Needed

Noxubee County Chairman, Wyatt
Jones. Jr., Of Second Campaign, Ex-
poets Prompt and Willing Response.
Chairman Wyatt Jones, Jr., of the
Second Red Cross War Fund Campaign
is making plans to have the work done
in systematic way, and it will be
pushed from the very start, and Noxu-
bee County is expected to be one of the
very first counties IN the state to Ego
over the top" in subscribing to this
fund the small amount allotted to it.
Those interested in raising this fund
say when it is considered that this
money is needed to help care for the
splendid young men who have gone to
the front to battle for those who re-
main at home, there will probably be
very little holding back by those who
appreciate the patriotic service that
the soldiers are rendering their country.
1t is little that is asked of the people at
home compared to what the brave
young men are giving their lives, if
need be-and if the people of this
country were to give every dollar that
they make it would be giving even then
much less than the soldiers are giving
The Red Cross is doing a great work
tor the army and the campaign that
will be launched May 20 should be
hailed with pleasure, as giving another
opportunity to the people to contribute
to good cause,
All committees will be announced in

production, and proved to be one Of the

The program opened with an enjoy

daily sights around us now, but which
never fails to thrill and inspire.

EXTENSION OF TRADE.

1t is evident that the present neces-
sity for a diversion Of the European
trade of North and South America
to the markets of this hemisphere is
promoting more complete under
standing in the United States of con-
ditions in the other American repub
lies. Not only has this country been
given an opportunity to extend her
trade to the south, but South Ameri-
cans have of their own accord turned
to us-as in the action of the Argen-
tine Republic in laying before the Sec
rotary of commerce at Washington "a
plan for closer commercial relations
which contemplates that American
manufacturers shall take the place
left vacant by European industry
Extending trade in South America
has involved providing banking ia
cilities and opening branch houses of
certain manufacturers in various
South American centers 1t has in
volved a study of our naighborsi
methods, their systems of credit and
banking, the possible markets for
their goods in this country. It has
been noted that the study of Spanish
has been more popular in our univer-
stiles, especially among young men
following a commercial" course.

GONE TO THE WAR.

There are fewer practicing physic-
ians and attorneys in this country now
than ever before, due largely to the
fact that so many of them have enter
ed the military service.
However, returns from the various
educational institutions of the coun-
try indicate a marked decrease in the
number of medical and legal students,
as compared with previous years.
There is a correspondent increase in
the attendance upon the agricultural
colleges and schools that offer spec
ialized courses. For instance, it is
indicated that next year there will be
more made to-order farmers, engi-
neers, mechanical experts and teach
ers and fewer physicians, lawyers and
even ministers. The number Of theo-
logical students appears to be about
the same as in former years, but the
other two professions have fewer as
pirants.
One reason for this decline N the
number of medical and legal students
is that physicians and doctors are eff
fectively exhorting against the over
crowding of their professions. An
other is that the doctors of the country
are securing stringent legislation for
the suppression of fake colleges, and
thereby reducing the annual quota OF
diploma men The law passed by the
Georgia legislature not long ago will
have a noticeable effect in this direc-
ton. it is believed. The number OF
medical students in June this year
was 1905, a decrease of nearly 5000
below 1911 and reduction of 11,00(
in comparison with 1904 The exact
figures as to the other students are
not available yet
So many new professions are open
ing up, So many novel branches o.
the industrial and commercial fields
that young men with the means Il
pursue a higher education have {

thing else besides doctors, attorneys

Here's a report, taken from the Maui

of one of her clinics:

According to this theory, such melo-
dies as "Cuddle Up a Little Closer"
and Kiss Me, Honey, Kiss Me" ought
to be sure specifics for bachelorhood.
But as this is progressive age

MAKE 1T A FELONY.

BY the changing of few words. the
Georgia legislature may amend the
present law against carrying conceal
ed weapons so as to effectively re-
strain the pistol-toting habit
That is, make it felony, punisha-
bic by Imprisonment, to be found witt
a concealed pistol.
In Tennessee some of the newspa-
rers are waging desperate campaign
TO induce the legislature to take this
step. In Georgia such a campaign
should not be necessary. In view of
the enormous number of homicides an
nually committed in this state, the
legislature should, without urging,
tighten the screws on the pistol toter.
Many courageous judges in Georgia
have done their level best to so enforce
the present statute as to break up
the habit, and in some localities their
efforts have doubtless borne fruit
There is absolutely no excuse for an
able-bodied man to carry deadly
weapon in his hip pocket Many a
man not naturally criminal is now
in the penitentiary, or lying in dis
honored grave, because he was cow
ardly enough to carry revolver; and
many good men are dead and gone,
and there are many widows and or
phans, all on account of the murder
Gus pistol
1t is not so eaesy to limit or prevent
the manufacture or sale of the pistol,
although in New York and in a few
other states they have laws which are
designed to restrict their sale. The
best plan is to treat with the man who
carries it by putting him in the peni-
Tertiary for a year or So If the leg
islature will make pistol carrying
felony-in New York state it is even
a felony now to own a pistol-the re-
suits will be apparent in less than a
years time.
The Fowler bill, which contemplates
a felony punishment for carrying con-
cealed weapons, has been pending for
two years, and ought to be passed. It
should be one of the first matters for,
consideration at the forthcoming ses-
sion, but doubtless, as usual, it will
be relegated to an obscure place on
the calendar and later consigned to a.

Blackleg Disposal. All calves lost
by blackleg disease must be properly
disposed of. Burn or bury deeply the
carcass. Do not attempt to save the

young cattle as small pox is among
humans. Promptly report any case
where a stockman or farmer pollutes

no stockman must endanger the lives
of other cattle further down the

Vegetable Seed. Garden seed
prices seem to be continually on the ad-
vance and seeds should be grown at
home this year. Carrots, beets, on
ions, mangles, cabbage and other bien-
malls may be replanted and seed pro-

growth. Cabbage stumps replanted
often produce excellent seed. Grow
your own seed this year and produce
