In Memory of Katie Summers
Purvis.

Earth was robbed Of one of it's
fairest flowers and Heaven was
made richer by priceless jewel,
when on January 2, 1919, Katie
Summers Purvis, the young wife
of Raymond Purvis passed away.
Besides this broken hearted hus-
band are left her father, two Sis
tiers and host Of friends and rel
atives to mourn her absence here.
But Oh! Saddest of all, an infant
son, only two weeks old, is left.
May he live to be a blessing to all,
and may his mothers sweet influ-
ence hover near him as a guar
dian Angel even though he can
never know mothers tender love
and care.
Just one year ago our dear one
was happy bride. Only a year a
wife! Yet in that short time
she gave to her friends, a bright
example, of sweet devoted wife
and home-maker.
At school, Katie was general
favorite with all, for her sweet
face and gentle ways won friends
easily for her, and her forgiving
disposition made her a friend
worth the while. To know her
was indeed to love her and her
schoolmates have sweet men,
hearts, always.
Yes, we shall miss sweet Kati :,
at home and elsewhere, but let us
not grieve for she has gone from
this world of heart-aches and
suffering, never to return, and we
can meet her again in the sweet
bye and bye, and there shall be
no more good-byes for we shall
dwell with her in that land where
no pain nor sorrow ever comes.
There may come singing
thought that we were not as
thoughtful of her as we should
have been, but we can profit by
this, by being more thoughtful
of our friends and loved ones
spared to us, and dear Katie
looking down from above will
smile and understand.
May the dear Lord comfort us
all, as he alone can do.
One who loved her as a dear
cousin.

Famous Confederate Nurses
Death Brings Sorrow to
Southland.

Washington, Jan. 21.-The
death of Mrs. Ella K. Newsome
Trader, known as "Dixie's Flor
ence Nightingale" because Of her
activities as Confederate nurse
during the war between the states
brought sorrow to many South
erners today.
Mrs. Trader died yesterday at
the home Of her daughter here.
Funeral services, at which repre-
sentatives of Southern and Con-
federate societies will take part,
will be held Thursday.
Mrs. Trader was native Of
Brandon, Miss, and the daughter
Baptist clergyman. She was mar
ried twice.
Just before the war she was
married to DR.. Frank Newsome,
Of Tennessee, but was left wild
ow soon there after with a fortune
Of about $4,000. She was at
Winchester, Tenn, when the war
began, and her father having
gone to Arkapsas, she enlisted
her services in the hospital corps
Of the Confederacy, and at her
own expense collected carload
Of hospital supplies and went to
Bowling Green, Ky.
During the war, the greater
part Of her time was spent in hos
pital work in Bowling Green,
Nashville, Memphis, Chattanooga
Corinth and Atlanta, and her he
roic and unseliish devotionto the
ia and suffering soldiers, both
Union and Confederate, was de-
scribed - making one Of The
most beautiful paees u TIE his-

Another Liberty Loan

The necessity for another Lib
erty Loan is being emphasized by
L. B. Franklin, of Washington,
Director Of War Loan Organiza-
ton, in conferences with Liberty
Loan officials in Federal Reserve
Districts throughout the country.
Mr.. Franklin is now in the South
having visited Atlanta and New
Orleans. He expects to hold con-
ference in every district within
the next few weeks.
It is explained by Mr.. Franklin
that the government must meet
the enormous outstanding obliga-
tons for war contracts. Produc-
ton of ships, munitions of war,
and material of all kinds had
reached the desired stage when
the armistice was signed. The
expenses incurred must be met al
though fighting has ceased. Rev
enues from taxes and other sourc-
es will not be sufficient to cover
the Indebtedness, therefore the
Treasury Department will ask for
another loan, said Mr.. Franklin.
The banks Of the country can
not be expected to undertake this
bond issue. With the restoration
of peace and return Of normal
trade conditions, banks will need
all available money for CONNER
cial purposes. To burden them
with the obligation of absorbing
an issue Of several billion dollars
would stifie business and inter-
fere with trade. The Fifth Loan
must be floated out Of the earn
ings and savings Of the people.
The amount Of the issue and in
terest the bonds will bear will be
determined by the Treasury De-
partment early in the spring. The
date Of the Loan has not been de-
cided upon, but it is believed that
the Treasury Department will se-
lect some date in April for the
beginning. In the meantime,
plans are being made to float an
issue as large as the Fourth Lib
erty Loan Six Billion Dollars.

Mississippi's Contribution of


The figures are reported as
showing that approximately TO-
600 men have gone out from Miss
issippi during the war, and of this
total, 60 per cent, or some $4,000.
were negroes, who were mainly
used in the engineer and pioneer
regiments as laborers. When
these men get back the labor stu
alton will be considerably reliev-
ed in all lines. It has been almost
an impossibility in many sections
of the state to obtain domestic
help and this is attributable to
the fact that many colored women
were obtaining the allotments of
SIS from their husbands-actual
or common law-to which the gov
erment added $15, making $50
per month, with an allowance in
addition of SIS per month for each
child up to three. The average
colored family with say $45 per
month coming in, is not particu-
larly inclined toward industry
and this is said to account for the
scarcity Of help.
A great many colored people
have emigrated from Mississippi,
lured by the high wages paid by
munitions and other lines of in
dustry. Now that there will be a
return to former lines Of endeav-
or and normal competition it is
expected that many of these will
return. That they have been per-
mitted to work alongside of the
white men in the North has been
due to the fact that there was
work enough for all, and more.
Immediately the colored man
comes into competition with the
white man in the North there is
trouble-of which the riots of
the East St. Louis Of last year
are indicated. Only in the South
is the colored man given his full
need of opportunity and endeavor.
Our nothern friends are somewhat
insistent upon his welfare, but in
an entirely abstract way, and
usually for southern administra-
ton. Whatever there may be of
difference of opinion regarding
the treatment of the negro in the
North and South, there is yet no
record of where the negro was
mobbed in the South for wanting
to work, as has several times oc-
Cured north of the line
AS for the $4,000 fine young
white men who left the state at
their country's call, they are fit
erlng back, and return, better
citizens, better patriots, better
men, with broader viewpoint and
much of the insularity brushed
Off them. Each one will be a
distinct influence in his commune
ty, and the body of our citizenry
will have been leavened most ben
eficially by the injection of the
men who have followed the flag
Meridian Dispatch.

The principal element in cotton
seed meal is Ammonia, and to figure
the amount of nitrogen in a
100pound sack of meal, multiply
the per cent of Amonia by.823 and
the product will be the pounds Of
nitrogen. The best meal contains
8per cent amonia and this amount
multiplied by 1928 gives 6.5
pounds of nitrogen to the sack of
100 pounds. Of course, we should
use pct instead of pounds but in
order to make it palmer l use
pounds.
We buy 16 percent Acid Phos-
plate which means that there are
16 pounds Phosphoric Acid per
hundred pounds, and to get the
actual amount of Phosphorus in
this, divide by 90.
Take the tag off every ferti-
lizer sack you buy and figure the
actual pounds or pct Of nitrogen,
potash or PHOSPHORUS you get,
and then figure what it cost you
per pound. A 1872 fertilizer
means that in the 100 pound sack
there are 2 pounds of nitrogen
and II pounds of available phos-
phorous. The other Sc pounds Of
fill contains nothing of value to
you as fertilizer. A 1922 fer
tilizer means that the 100 pound
PHOSPHORUS, 2 pct nitrogen and
2 pct potash,
The plant food elements that
are deficient in most of the soil
in Rankin county are Nitrogen
and PHOSPHORUS. The best and
cheapest form of nitrogen is Nj
trate Of Soda which contains
from Is per cent to Is per cent
Cotton seed meal is the next best
which contains from 3 percent to
&c percent. Acid Phosphate is
the best form in which to buy
Phosphorus.
Remember that the corn stalks
and broomsedge should not be
burned for it all contains valuable
Nitrogen. The South destroys an
nually by burning enough nitro
gen to buy:
10000 horses at $500 a piece.
10000 cows at $50 apiece.
100000 chickens at so piece.
10000 sheep at $500 apiece.
This is based on the assumption
that there are only three tons
burned on each farm every year.
Why not begin this year to save
some OF this valuable fertilizer.
The three cars of hogs ship
ped last week brought good prices,
the 200 pound corn fed netting
Sl5.25 per hundred, 165 pound
and up $14.50. There were 8
head belonging to w. H. Pat
rick and J. T. Knight, Jr. which
classed as primes and netted SIG
per hundred. There were 20 hogs
IN one car which brought net
price of $4,000. Let's grow
more and better hogs for market
and home use this year.
