harmful in tho larva or worm stage.

worm injury is easily detected from ro-

the peculiar ragged remnants OF the

whitish, web-like film found adhering
to the plant. The young Seeding

THE DIFFERENCE

John Brown Smith. the successful
business man imports the materials
for his clothing. shirts and underwear
from several parts of Europe. Any
thing under six cylinders and real
plush upholstery is beneath his con-
sideration. He thinks, sleeps, works
and enjoys himself in big tigures
John Smith, the plodder, wears the
cheapest grade of ready-made cloth
ing. He hopes, some day, 10 own a
second hand runabout. He thinks
sleeps, eats and enjoys himself always
with a watchful eye to his manifold
responsibilities and a slowly growing
rainy day fund.
The real difference between the two
Smiths, however. is this:
John Brown Smith subscribes to
Victory Liberty Loan with a check fol
a sum which would keep him IN high
balls, cigars and dinners for one month
He is not exactly ungracious about /
but he expresses the belief that thu
wars end makes Unnecessary an!
further loan issues and hopes "thi
is the last"
John Smith confers with the rea
head of the family and grins when h
discovers he can take a bigger Loaf
than he had at first anticipated by par
ing his own weekly budgeJ a trifi
more. So he makes the first paymen
on two bonds instead if one and get
quite cheerful about it.
Great stun" he says, bring o.
some more bond issues"

FRANCHISE ORDINANCE FRAMED

After several weeks of considera
tion the city council has framed a
light and water franchise, mutually
agreeable to the council and Mr.. A B.
Patterson, who has tentatively pur
chased the old Pascagoula Street Rail
way & Power Co. property from Mr.. e.
j. Ford The franchise ordinance in
/ form was adopted at Thursdays meet.
ing OF the council Under the law it
must now lay over for two weeks be-
fore final adoption, during which time
IL Is open to public inspection. At
the end of two weeks the ordinance
Will again be called up, passed and
published, following which an election
will be called for its acceptance or re-
lection by the city.
In order to save time in getting the
water and light plant restored to serv-
iceable condition it has been suggested
by the council and agreed to by Mr..
Patterson that meeting be called
Tuesday night, November 10, at which
every voter and property owner is re-
quested to be present to discuss the
franchise. If the franchise is ap-
proved and the voters of the city pledge
themselves to its suppirt Mr.. Patter-
son will Immediately order the new
engine and electrical machinery re.
quired and also begin at once the work
of putting the remainder of the plant
in first class condition This method
of procedure will save some four or
six weeks in the time required to get
the plant in operation, because work
will begin at once instead of awaiting
the outcome of the election. Further
more, the sooner the plant can be |
started in operation just that much |
earlier will the city be relieved of the |
burden which the present makeshift
operation of the light and water serv-
ice is placing on the taxpayers, the
city having a deficit of several hundred
dollars each month over the revenues
collected from subscribers.
