said that the American people played
no small part in the achievement of
the Huns defeat and Democracy's
unprecedented worlds victory. The
American people, with their food pro-
duction in response to calls made for
food, had as much to do with the de-
feat of the Hun as any other thing.
But there is more glory and achiev-
ment awaiting the American people.
That glory will be attained when we
have produced food for the many
hungry millions now in Europe. If
America will produce the food now,
while the millions are crying for food
it will be great and glorious achiev-
ment. The work of the soldier may
soon be over, but the task of the CIV
ilian is still on. Suffering humanity
is calling upon the loyal American
civilian for food. If Americans wish
to again exemplify their claims for
suffering humanity, let them now
rise up as one man and produce hte
needed food that will annihilate the
miserable sufferings in Europe.
Mississippi has made great strides
in food production.She has increased
her wheat acreage 200 or 300 per
cent. She hasgreatly multiplied her
live stock production. It is now es-
timated that the world is short about
5000, 900, 900 pounds in meat and dali
ry products, and will Mississippi
maintain her reputation by respond
ing to another call for increased pro-
duction? She will.
Noxubee county shares in the hon
or of Mississippi's loyal responses to
calls for more food. Your conuty
agents are grateful to you for your
responses in the past. We are now
depending on you to do your part as
loyal people in helping to produce
part of the enormous meat shortage.
We want Noxubee to respond with
ten cars of hogs in April and May of
1919, taking pigs that now weigh
about 40 or so pounds and prepare
them for market at that time. Let
this mean increased production over
your normal production. You, then,
will be responding to the call.
The great Liberty Pig Club is be-
ing organized throughout Mississ-
ippi as means of stimulating inter-
est IN this work. December 9th il
the day for al girls and boys to reg
lister for this work. Farmers are
asked to join also-both white and
colored. Line up Noxubeeans for the
great and noble work. Your pig or
pigs will relieve the sufferings of
some poor European family and pay
you profit for your trouble. Let
everybody resolve to help reduce the
great meat shortage.

The Loud Cries for Hoover"

Among the more grimly amusing
phases Of the hypocritical play made
by the German leaders for the SYM
pathy of the American people is their
loud cry for an expert like Mr.. Hoov-
er to come over into Germany and
manage their food affairs. The va
rious emotions raised by this plea
beggar description. In the first
place, one wonders what has become
of the PROFESSIONAL and scientific eff
ficiency which spell "Kultur" and
which is to be forced on all the world
since it was blandly claimed the in
efficiency of the rest of the world
made it necessary for Germany to
take it in hand. Apparently effici-
ency has evaporated from "Kultur"
and nothing is left but the shell and
the smell. So there are loud cries
for Hoover, who represents Ameri-
can efficiency, very different kind
of thing from that decreed for all
the world by the dynasty which has
disappeared.
In the second place the call for
Hoover possesses a dramatic as we'll
as a grotesque aspect which only the
blind stupidity and wooden-headed-
ness of the Germans prevent them
from seeing. For of all the men
in the service, Mr.. Hoover, as the
first administrator of relief work in
Belgium, knows better than anybody
else the sheer and unadultreated vile
ness of the German when he was on
top. For is it not related in the ira
gic annals of those days in Belgium
that Mr.. Hoover, when asked if he
would allow any pro-German Amer
leans to join the Belgian relief work
them join, but my experience is htat
one bays acquaintance with German
methods turn the most pronounced
prof. German into a rabid anti-Ger-
man" Yet this is the man that the
Germans turn to call for aid, which
suggests that they still think that a
man like Hoover, and Americans in
general, can be fooled with lying
appeal to mauldin sentimentality.-

A number Of minor transactions as
J fruit trees, cholera serum, pigs, etc.,
have been handled, hough not noted,
and about $1,000 is pending which
will be closed by December 1st.
There has been some objectiona-
n bic features to this part of the work
4 Some farmers are inclined to think
that no obligation is assumed in a
cooperative deal. There are farm
ers who have not learned to figure
on market fluctuations and have,
therefore, been dissatisfied.
y The banks Of the county have all
been kind enough to handle this mon
Iey as directd ~ we are not eqnpped
vith office facilities. Our books
ave been neglected for this reason
bnd personal losses have been sus-
Gained in more than one instance.
This feature of the work will neces-
sarily be curtailed unless office con-
yeniences are provided. This phase
pf the work is growing rapidly. Our
policy, however, is that the business
pf the county should continue in the
provided channels so long as these
pre- adequate, and that the agents
pancial transactions should be regu-
atory only.
Demonstration Work.
It is the part of the demonstration
york that we are most interested in,
bat the county needs most, and
rows slowest. We have been in
Inference with great many pros
settlers in the South. The
au fiversal comment is honestly, the
- 18th is land of opportunity, but
Vile advantage has ben taken of that
III ortunity. Farming operations are
3ude. It has been found, however,
that farming operations useful in 9th
sef sections will not always apply
here. But the science of farming is
the same the world over if it's pro-
sper applications can be determined.
I So far we have started a few de-
nonstrations in crops and methods
known to be valuable on Southern
6arms. These fall crops are wheat,
rye, rye and vetch,oats and vetch,
(Yith lime and phosphate on worn
soils. We are proposing demonstra-
Eions to follow in the spring with
more legumes and fertilizers. Our
prpblem is to get these demonstra-
ions located in all communities of
he county, and to get our farmers
tention directed to these demonstra-
ons, so they will get the gist of the
pject of the demonstration. All
is work has the object usually for
ID production and increased soil

Destructive Fires.

OcSIuCtlNe FIreS.
The time of year is approaching
when large damages often result
from carelessness in using fire. The
careless use of fire-as running rab-
bits rto the open-is a practice that
hazards thousands of dollars in dead
grass, hay ricks, buildings ad fences.
We understand there are laws cover
ing the use of fire in the open, and
every citizen should be alert for any
violations of the misuse of fires when
leaves and grass are dead.

JINGoIsM VERSUS CRAFTSMANSHIP.

THE responsible spokemen OF our allies have ndorsed
every word President Wilson has said in his replies to
the three peace notes addressed to him by Germany The
press Of the allied nations almost without exception have
appraised those replies the acme OF diplomatic states
manshp Those facts should be kept in mind in view OF the
irresponsible ucrances Of some OF citizens whose
official positions past present give consequence to their
statements.
The object Of President Wilson'S diplomacy is very ap-
parent He trying depose the kaiser He hopes to ac-
compsh this through the agency of the German people
he succeeds the Of Germany ceases. The over
throw of the kaiser by popular revolt will mean the over
throw of kaisersm. 1t will mean the end OF German
militarsm 1t will that Germany will be absoyed
of her crimes or that the she to the world will
be marked paid But it will that the world will not
have to continue be armed camp in order to protect
itself from German aggression A Germany governed
by the people will make it possible for the world to begin
the task Of rcadusting itself to a peace basis.
Many persons are being msed by Colonel Rooseyets
npoism that peace cannot be made by typewriter chat
that it must be made by Fochs guns The talk OF de
mandng Unconditional surrender, of giving Germany the
privilege Of choosing between that and annhaton, IS to
be dcplorcd II it is necessary to destroy the German
armies it will he done Of course, but intelligent man
can contemplate that price without shudderng The cost
and enomity OF such annhilaton cannot be conceived
But we can get dim idea of it when we reflect that
no army has been anhated in this Iindenburg and
Mackcnsen with their fresh thoroughly equipped forces,
we're unable destroy the Russian armies OF the Grand
Duke Nicholas in that long heart-breakng retreat 1t
they took something like million prisoners, but
the grand duke at the end OF the withdrawal had his
armies intact their morale unmpaircd despite the reachery
and betrayal OF Petrograd.
The physical destruction Of the German armies under
Ludendof could only be accomplished at the cost OF mil
lions Of men Civilization will pay that fearful price II
need be- but such slaughter must be avoided it possible
Il can he avoided If civilian Germany revos, renounces
the kaiser and militarism and demands peace.
