President Wilson was prompted to
go to Versailles, it appears, chiefly
because during the conference of the
council of Three in the morning
Premiers Lloyd George and Clemen-
ceau held that the newspapermen
could not be admitted to the session
with the Germans on Wednesday be-
cause of lack of space.
Journalists to BE Admitted
President Wilson was not convinc-
ed that this was the case and he in
sisted upon going to Versailles with
the two premiers. 1t was after their
Visit that the announcement was
made that the American and British
journalists had won their, fight for
representation and that a total of
45 journalists from the various ma
tons would be permitted to attend
the ceremony.
With Premier Orlando and Prime
Minister Sonnino of Italy on their
way back to Paris from Rome which
they left Monday night, it seems
probable that they will be present
at the historic meeting in Versailles
on Wednesday.

And now they are attempting to prove
that the crow is not so black as his
feathery coat-that he is in fact a helper
toward the cultivation of the fields. We
are told that the crows follow the plow
or cultivator so that he may feed upon
the numerous Larvae, such as cutworms,
wireworms and white grubs, which the
turning of the soil brings to light. If a
flock of crows is observed returning again
and again to particular field it is almost
certain that the field is infested with
noxious Larvae. The crow is the only
agency which will destroy cutworms and
white grubs. 1t is also said that crows
destroy quantities of mice and young
rabbits. and that their activities among
sprouting corn and in the poultry yard
have been greatly exaggerated. We have
never expected to see the crow upheld as
m assistant to the farmer. And we hope
that he is preparing to live up to this
new and desirable reputation.

running into the millions of dollars will
be made by the federal government to
road building in the states through the

eral aid road act empowering the secre-
tary of war in his discretion to transfer
military equipment not needed by the
almy to the department of agriculture
for use in highway construction. The
judge advocate generals Office Of the
war department has decided that the
material so transferred can not be
charged for. The war department has
informed the bureau of public roads that
it has a large number of surplus motor
trucks available for this purpose and
state highway departments now are being
asked by the bureau what quantities they
can put to use The bureau of public
roads officials believe there will be suf-

states. The trucks and other military
equipment transferred by the war de-
partment must be used only on federal
aid projects and cannot be sold by the
state after they are donated from the

Evidence of the tremendous growth of
the hog industry in Mississippi since 1914
when it began on a large scale, is found
in the fact that in March of this year
$4,000 hogs were shipped from the state,
more than six times as many as during
the entire year, of 1914, In one day of
the present month 4S cars of Mississippi
hogs were sold on the st. Louis market,
eclipsing all other states for that 24-hour
period The present number of hogs in
the state is estimated at 2,750,0O0. An
increase of 20 per cent? was made last
year, and since January l, 1914, an in
crease of Sc per cent has been made. A
larger percentage of finished hogs are
reaching the market than ever before,
and several market topping prices have
recently been received for Mississippi
porkers. The chief result is the most
general prosperity ever enjoyed by Mis-
sissippi farmers.

According to the worlds greatest ply
sicians and medical authorities, calomel
was the best and most universally useful
of all medicines. Medical authorities pre-
scribed calomel for almost every disease
and explained that it was the best and
surest of all system purifiers. They say
that calomel cleanses the liver, stomach,
bowels and kidneys and purifes the blood
from all poisons, making the system pure
and clean so that nature can quickly re-
store the health.
Now that science has purified calomel
of all its nauseating and dangerous quail
tiles, the new kind of calomel, called "Cal-
otabs," is even more popular than the
old As liver cleanser and system puri-
fec, Calotabs are more effective than the
old style calomel, yet are entirely de-
