NATURE PROVIDES
 THE INGREDIENTS
Argo-Phosphate, the New Herbal Remedy, Now Endorsed by Local
 People

If the digestive organs are not properly performing the work which nature has assigned to them, then nutrition, which is absolutely essen tial to the recovery of other dis eased parts, will be lacking and there can be no permanent relief. When bodily nutrition is normal, the stom- ach digests the food, the blood ab- sorbs and carries the nourishment. to the different parts of the body, caus- ing the various organs to properly perform their functions.
 Nature has provided a remedy in the ingredients of Argo-Phosphate, the new herbal stomach remedy, which is now being introduced here. It is purely vegetable and it's vitaliz- ing, corrective and reconstructive qualities are so pronounced that beneficial results are noticed" from the first day.. That this is, true, it is only necessary to listen to the state ments made daiyl by local people who have given Argo-Phosphate g fair trial and have been benefited

JUSTICE OR INJUSTICE

We read in a Hartford paper a few days ago of an aged trapper in the central part of the state who was arrested for violating the game laws. This old man had made, a living for years by trapping fur-bearing ami malls, using the odd fashioned dead fall, and had trapped on land with cut permission of the owner, though the owners didn't object.
 Arrested by the game warden he was brought before a justice, found guilty and fined, thereby automati- sally forfeiting his license for one year. Thus was an old man whose remaining years of life are at best But very few deprived of his one means of a livelihood by an over zelous warden and an equally over zelous justice.
 That the law should be enforced we do not question, but that there was an actual or intentional viola ton is something different still. Law IS nothing more or less than common sense and justice, and apparently both were sadly lacking in this case

FARM LEGISLATION

Among the general recommends Eions in President Wilson's message to congress to bring the country to a stabile and peace time basis, is one of particular interest to the farmer. That the president appreciates what the farmers have done during the war by making every effort to in crease the production of their land Ks apparent from the following para graph taken from his message:
 During the war the farmer per formed vital and willing service to the nation. By materially increasing she production of his land, he SUD- piled America and the allies with the increased amount of food necessary to keep their immense armies i:l tLe feld. He indispensably helped to win the war. But there is now scarcely less need of increasing the production in food and the neces- saries of life. I ask the Congress to consider means of encouraging effort along these lines. The importance of doing everything possible to promote production along economical lines, to improve marketing and to make rural life more attractive and health full is obvious. I would urge approv- al of the plans already proposed to the Congress by the secretary of ag- riculture to secure the essential facts required for the proper study of this question through the proposed enlarged programs for farm manage ment studies and crop estimates"
 The president asks Congress to consider means of encouraging pro- duction, but gives no intimation as to what course should be pursued in this regard.
 Few farmers will seek to increase production unless labor can be had XII such numbers as will insure their crops of being harvested at a price that will give them fair profit Financial backing and longtime loans are two other questions that must be solved if production is to be increased. In this regard the Feeder. al Land bank goes only part way and does not reach the many farmers to whom financial assistance of g liberal nature would mean not only greater production but freedom from debt eventually and added incentive to do their share in bringing about the possibility of self-support fol each state.
 The high cost of living depends il great measure on the farmers production. Great quantities of foot will mean lower prices, which vii mean lower wages and in this wa, every article of merchandise b. affected to some extent. Suppl, and demand raise or lower prices

One can sympathize with the pow CT company that built the great dam at Stevenson. After more than two years all litigation and other legal matters being settled, the gates closed and with water nearly to the top of the dam, it was discovered that the flood gates would not oper- ate.

Saves Extra Session Expense.

AS Gov. Bilbo states, this expedi-
ent will save the taxpayers of the
state between $4,000 and $4,000
which it would cost to convene the
present body of lawmakers, and the
needed funds could be gotten in hand
much more expcditiously.
AS if to give force to this executive
appeal, Lieut.. Gov. Russell, prospect
i've successor to Gov. Bilbo, adds a
hearty note of appreciation, il which
he says:
81 am sure that the people of Mis-
sissippi will approve this method of
saving the taxpayers fthe state the
$50 1000 or $4,000 that it would tie
necessary to expend for an extraor-
binary session of the Legislature. 1T
is the only businesslike way of han
ding the proposition"

uation which is already serious.
The crews of one hundred ana
fifty railway tugs joined the strike
thus enforcing the suspension OF al

Tar Heel Legislature
Most Important Question Be.
fore Session is Prohibition.

Raleigh, N. c., Jan. S.-The bien-
NAL meeting of the North Carolina
legislature convened. here today for a
session of sixty days. Both upper
and lower houses are controlled oy
large Democratic majorities.
Among the more important mat
tiers to be considered at this term IS
the question of ratifying the national
prohibition amendment. The North
Carolina Anti-Salocn League is urg-
ing that a new department be Gre
ated in the State government to be
known as Commissioner of Prohibl-
ton and clothed with power to'-en-
force laws in this State. An custer
law also is asked by the Anti-Saloon
League.
Machinery for putting into opera
ton two amendments to the State
constitution, ratified by the voters last
November, will be worked out by the
legislators. One of the amendments
guarantees a public school term Of
not less than six months year and
the other exempts from taxation notes
and mortgages given for loans to be
used in the purchase and erection of
homes or for farm lands.
