secured the past week.
In a few days the formal petition
for the establishment of the temple

Imperial Prince, who will issue a
proclamation formally naming CO.

paraphernalia and regalia arrives ar
rangements will then be made for
the formal Installation Of the tenn

The Columbus temple will be the
second Dokey temple in Mississippi.

other temple in the State at present.

are allowed in one State and this
means that Columbus and Jackson
will be the centers of Dokeyism in
Mississippi.

and in advocacy Of the measures
which he favored.
Mr.. Russell reviewed his private life
at home and at college, and his train
ing in the legal profession. He stated
that he was a native Mississippian,
and had lived in the state all of his
life He gave an account of his
stewardship in public office, and re-
ferred to the handsome vote he had
received in his home county and over
the State in previous campaigns.

as an effective and practical plan for
the development and extension Of the

inseparable, and possessed of the
same political ideals and ambitions
Mr. Russell went exhaustiveIy into
the State Tax Commission law and
plan of assessment which ne Is de-
Tending as the most constructive piece
of Legislation Mississippi has ever en-
acted upon her statute books De
showed that as a result Of the work
of the commission So counties in the
state were paying less into the state
treasury now than formerly and shzt
the other sixteen counties, whicz bad
been paying a mere bagatele INTO the
treasury, are now bearing their just
share of the State tax burden. and
paying their share Of the SAMeis
taxes.
He cited figures and statistics in
support of the State Tax Commission
and refuted the argument Of his op-
ponent that the Commission lad
ceased to function and was poweriess.
His refutation was the reading Of
the decision Of the Supreme Court
which recognizes the legality Of the
Commission. He declared that she
Commission had just as much author
ity to enforce the provisions OF the
law under which it is operating as
the sheriff or any court in the State
had to enforce the laws ana its or

GERMANY SIGNS
PEACE TREATY
GERMAN DELEGATES RE-
PORTED TO HAVE SIGNED
YESTERDAY.
COMES TO END
Wilson to Come Home at Once.
Whole World Rejoicing
Over Peace.

The German Peace Plenipotentiaries
DR.. Hermann Mueller and DIR. Bell,
signed the Peace Treaty at Versailles
yesterday afternoon.
Thus comes to an end the most
momentous war which has ever
stained the annals of history.
Thus comes to a final end Ger
many's dream of world conquest and
power and the dismemberment of her
once formidable empire.
The drastic terms imposed upon
Germany have caused two or three
forms of government to topple over
in trying to meet the demands of the
allies as well as to satisfy the people
at home. Two cabinets at least have
changed and many officials charged
with the responsibility of signing
Germany's doom have side-stepped the
fateful task. The German people
have insisted upon peace, however,
and her delegates have at last af-
hxed their signatures.
While the war is over with Germany
peace with Austria is still to come.
Then there are grave and complicated
problems of worldwide Importance
still to be worked out, affecting the
destiny Of nations. But the thing that
the whole world has waited for for
four years has come at last and all
nations are thankful.
PARIS, June 2S.-Everything is in
readiness for the signing this after
noon by the Germans of the peace
treaty framed by the entente and as
sociated powers.
DIR. Hermann Mueller, foreign min
lister in the new German cabinet, and
Dr. Bell, chief of the<eelonial office,
designated as Gerrnany's signatories
to the momentous document, arrived
in Versailles late Friday night in Or
der to carry out the promise in the
cabinet and the national assembly to
seal the compact.
That the Germans still are dissat-
isfed with the terms of the treaty is
indicated by reports that DIR. Mueller
and DIR. Bell left Berlin for Versailles
secretly, fearing attempts on their
lives.
An eleventh hour discordant note
has been struck by the Chinese dele
gates, who announce that they will
not affxtheir signatures to the treaty
because China will not be allowed to
make reservations concerning the prov
ince Of Shantung.
President Wilson is expected to san
homeward on the steamer George
Washington from Brest Sunday after
noon. Shortly after his arrival in
the United States, it is said, the presi-
dent viii make a tour of the country
on behalf of the peace treaty and the
league Of nations covenant. Secre-
tary of State Lansing will take the
presidents place in the peace council.
Thus the treaty with Austria win be
completed without the aid Of Presi-
dent Wilson.
Some anxiety has been aroused in
Paris by news of further German
aggressions against Poland The i'm
portant city of Czenstochowa. $50
miles southwest of Warsaw. is re-
ported as being under heavy attack
by artillery. At some points the
Germans are declared TO be within
20 miles Of the city.
Vienna advices say that Austrian,
German and Italian Communists have
decided to attempt to raise the red
flag of revolution in Italy about
Is.

FAMOUS GOODNIGHT RANCH
SELLS TO TEXAS OIL MAN

COL. Chas Goodnlrh, has sold he

chasers retain Col Goodnight 81

lie 10 continue his scientific research
In cross breeding q, live stock. As y
well known. Col Goodnight has very
successfully crossed the buffalo with
the black Poll Angus COW and has
very fine animal, which he has nam
ed "cattalo." This cattalo Is a very
fine type Of beef, grown COW weigh
ing fifteen and sixteen hundred
hounds. The dressed robe from one
Of these cows will sell from $3.50 to
$500.
Col Goodnight is also cross breed
ing the Karakule sheep and red Jer-
sey hogs. He has n number OF these
cross bred hogs and thinks he will
develop a hog type that will produce
a larger amount Of meat and a grade
of lard that will not be so greasy,
having in it a percentage Of tallow
that will reduce its greasy effects,
which so often is offensive TO deli
cate constitution.
On account Of this splendid pro-
gress of cross breeding and the desire
for perpetuating the herd of buffalo
on the Goodnight ranch. proposition
was before the Texas Legislature last
winter to buy the ranch and buffalo
and establish there breeding and
feeding station under the supervision
of the A. a VI. College. The proper
~ was offered to the State for a con
sideration of Sl2O,000 and had the
session of the Legislature been pro-
longed three weeks we believe the
deal would have been consumd. Since
the regular session, however, the
ranch lands have been leased for OIL
development and a test well is now
being put down on the ranch. THIS
has had tendency to increase the
demand for the land and the sale con-
summated few days ago was for a
consideration Of $3.50 Panhan-
