TWO THOUSAND
LOOT OF ROBBERS

The store of NJ. Soloh hon.>of Cali
patria, was entered and robbed Tues
day of more than $1,000 in merchan-
disc.
The removal Of the goods must
have taken place between 500 and
600 in the morning, for, according to
the night watchman of the town, he
passed the store at that time and the
lock on The front door was sound and
had not been touched. Mr.. Solomon
arrived at the store at o'clock and
claims that the lock was broken and
25 of his best suits removed. He
states that the goods must have been
removed in trunk, for a large black
four-ply leather one is also gone.
The sheriff's force report that a
jewelry store was located in the same
room, with a case full of very fine
watches, rings and stones, and none
was touched.
A case of silk shirts, shoes, and
other wearing apparel was also in the
room, but none was touched-only
the 25 suits were taken.
Across the street was restaurant
(crowded with men and none of them
saw the goods removed.
Deputy Sheriffs Matlock and Grif-
fin rushed to the scene and drove out
in the desert for a few miles, but
could find no trace of the removers.

Physical Education in the Schools

A move is on foot TO have the
legislature enact laws that will
require physical education in all
the public schools of the State.
1t is sad commentary to make
that practically no physical edu-
cation work is undertaken by
counties as units, and that the
legislature, up 10 this time, has
not legislated the requirement. in
TO the public school system. Ii
is gratifying. however, TO note
that prominent school officials
and medical men are interesting
themselves TO influence legisla-
ton that will take care of the
physical development of school
children, as well as their mental
development. These men haye
realized that the two develop
ments are coordinate and CO
dependent, which means that a
perfectly developed mind func-
tons best in a perfectly develop
ed body.
We understand that the State
and County Superintenden,s
have endorsed the program for
physical education proposed for
the State, and this ought to bring
sufficient influence TO bear upon
the legislature to enact such
laws.

Dogs Bar Sheep Raising i'm
Mississippi

Large tracts of farm lands will
be short of labor in 1920 Several
reasons can be assigned for this.
There will be a scarcity of mus
Gle to do farm work next year,
because the wage other kinds
of labor commands is more at
tractive and will cause ii 10 seek
other fields of industry, Also, the
cost of farm labor will be so high
in 1920, that few owners of land
can afford TO operate them and
take the risk as 10 profit and loss
in returns at the end of the year
Many owners of lands have
not the money with which TO
finance farming them and will be
timid to borrow and take the I'M
certainty as 10 playing anything
more than even when the crops
have been harvested. Large
areas of such lands will lie idle
for want of labor in 1920 which
could be made TO bring returns,
if only nhey could be stocked
with sheep.
1t would not require big out
lay of money 10 stock them with
sheep, and the hazard in doing
so would not consist in any
danger that disease might get
among them and cause them to
die, ii would consist in the GER
tainty that dogs would get among
them and destroy them. Raising
sheep In Mississippi is not an at
tractiye industry; there is little or
no protection against dogs in this
State.
The legislature could do a
great thing for the people of Mis-
sissippi, if it would pass a law
that would protect sheep against
dogs. Such legislation would
stimulate very paying industry
and would bring into use vast
tracts of open lands that would
increase materially the produc-
ton of wealth in Mississippi.
