During the season O. 1917 material was collected by repre- sentatives of the bureau of markets for the preparation of these types. which were established and promulgated by the secretary Of agriculture on Octo- Der 18th. 1918. and are now ready for distribution. Types for length of staple were also established and promulgated on the same date.
 For many years past the bureau o, markets has had a representative in

 The quality of this cotton owing to a very careful method of seed selection and government inspection, together with constantly improving cultural methods. has steadily improved, result ing in an unusual degree of uniform ity of the length Of the fibre. As an in stance. the following statistics may be of interest:
 In the season of 1s17-1s a survey by representatives of the government was made of the Yuma cotton grown in the Yuma valley. a summary of which was as follows, on 1751 bales:

prlnIIc SCHOOLS OPEN MONDAY

The public schools of Grenada
both white and colored. Prof. A. 5.
McLendon, thA new superintendent
and his daughter arrived several days
ago and are domiciled at the Weeks
residence on Main street. Mrs. NC
Tendon will remain at Newton until
such time as he may be able to rent
a residence.
Prof. McLendon is very anxious Tor
a representative audience to be pres
ent next Monday at the opening. wv
ing to the fact that he was unable
to get a residence or home for ms
family in Grenada, he has necessarily
been delayed in moving which has
made it impossible for him to get to
know many of the patrons. Natur-
allv he feels keen desire to have
every one possible present at the
opening Monday. u r,
The colored school under n. II
buckingham will start out with
full faculty and with every prom
ise of success.

\ GREAT DEMAND FOR
RESIDENCES
Fifty Families Could Be Located In
Grenada Were There Residences.

Were there the residences, fifty
families could be located in Grenada
today. This paper never knew such
great demand for residences. The
problem of supplying homes is one
of the many other grave matters
that is forcing itself upon public ct
tention Municipal taxes, insurance,
and repairs make residence property
for rent not a desirable investment,
vet if the business Of the town is to
grow and prosper, there must be more
people, hence it is up to the wise ones
to evolve some scheme whereby ad-
ditional hons can be supplied. There
is every reason in the world to at
tract people to Grenada. It is a beau
tiful place. 1t has an ideal citizen
ship. 1t is healthful-no town in
the South has a better health record.
It has the best school-both college
and public schools and indeed there
is everything almost to draw people
to Grenada.
But, as already stated, building
residences and paying taxes are also
a problem. The taxing power ass
esses city property much higher pro-
portionately than country property
and there are many things to deter
investments in residences, yet people
must have homes. 1t is problem that
needs special attention.

GRENADA COLLEGE OPENS
NEXT WEDNESDAY

Grenada College will begin It's fall
session next Wednesday, Sept. 10th.
The opening exercises will take place
in the College Chapel that morning
to which the entire citiznship OF the
town are invited. Grenada College
is doing big things. The great build
ing which is well under way and
which labor conditions have made i'm
possible to rush rapidly, is going to
be one of the best college buildings
in the South.
President Countiss has already
billed students for every available
room. Indeed a great number have
already been turnd away. Every
girl that fails to attend the College
that wants to come means a loss IN
a business way to the town, so Gre
NADIA is vitality interested IN many
ways in the growth and development
of this great institution.
Make yourself committee OF one
to talk Grenada College.

Cher Ami, Pigeon Hero of
World War, Has Joined His
Comrades in Great Beyond

The carrier pigeon hero of The war,
Cher Ami, Is dead. In spite of the
skill of the most expert bird aithori
ties in America, this little hero who
nrst notified American Headquarters
OF the plight Of the Lost Battalion" in
charge Of Major Charles 8. Whttelsey,
died recently at the pigeon lofts at P0-
f0Inac park in Washington, ID. G.
Many an American lad would have
been proud to have performed so many
heroic deeds for his flag Since care
rying the famous message, Cher Ami
had been personally petted by General
Pershing, and tradition of all time was
shattered when the American general
In an official memorandum TO the war
department cited the little bird for the
right to wear a distinguished service
cross.
In its last flight through whistling
shrapnel. Cher Ami was shot through
the breast and the right leg was torn
away. An especially appointed pigeon
expert was selected to bring the in,
valid message bearer home. A basket
OF rattan was lined with pads of cot
ton to ease the long ocean voyage At
Potomac park one of the screened
pOrches Of the pigeon hospital was set
aside for the exclusive use of Cher
Ami.
The little patient grew weaker and
weaker. Daily consultations were held
IN n1an tompfipo food FOR thu nj Oao,,
"ace." Experts at the national zoolog-
lcal garden, the Smithsonian Institu-
ton and the army pigeon lofts at Camp
Meigs each day eagerly offered sugges-
tions. But all efforts to prolong the
life Of Cher Ami were vain and now
the remarkable bird is mourned as one
who helped to win the world war.

IA4E MISSISSIPPI WELFARE
LEAGUE MAKING GOOD
Ma. }. c. Wilson, Executive Secretary
Gets Committee from Chicago To
Make Visit.

Mr.. j. c. Wilson, Executive Secre-
tary OF the Mississippi Welfare Lea
cue and who is doing a great work
ut this time in connection with that
organization spent several days with
his family in Grenada this week. Mr..
Wilson only last week returned from
Chicago and other points in the North
where he went to study labor condi-
ticns Mr.. Wilson was able to get
the ear OF some of the leading citi-
zens at those places and these readily
Interested the leading colored citi-
Zens. thus two negroes and
one white man, was named to re-
turn with him for the purpose of in
vesti3at:ng labor conditions and the
status o. the negroes in Mississippi.
Among the localities visited was
Grenada. One of the colOred men,
bers OF the party. and most cul-
tured man. said that he was born
and reared in Illinois and that he had
been taught to believe that there
were no dark spots on her escutch-
con but, he said, that since the Chi
cago race riots he would have to
change that view. He said that he
had been taught that negroes were
not allowed on the sidewalks in the
South and that their condition down
here was even worse than slavery.
He said that he was almost afraid to
make the trip here lest brickbat
or some other missile should bruise
his head if he should chance to look
out the car window. These men all
expressed themselves as highly pleas
ed with the status of the negro and
they said that the best part of all
of it that there seemed to be such
a mutually happy understanding be-
tween the two races. They said these
big plantations were marvel and
that the negro seemd to bothr "a
bout nothing in the world.
The committee reduced its impress
ion to writing and the same will ap-
pear in the newspapers within few
days.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Wilson andthe
Mississippi Welfare League are rem
dering the state of Mississippi a sig
ral service. What Mr.. Wilson and
the league are undertaking to do Is
to benefit the white race, to carry out
the program for better schools and
to bring about the very best under
standing between the whites and the
blacks. The purpose is worthy anu

Grizzly Bear Is Fond of
Big Variety of EatabIes

The appetite of the grizzly is one
OF the few drawbacks to his dOmeStica-
tiOn. His tastes are not limited, but
he deals in large quantities. In some
respects the grizzly is dainty feeder.
He is fond, for instance, OF viOIets, and
will eat several pounds if he can find
them. He likes rOsebuds and will de-
YOUR almost any sort of bulb. On the
other hand, he will eat meat of any
age. Apples and turnips are perhaps
his favOrite delicacies, but he also is
fond Of honey. Usually, ne eats the
bees with it. Wasps, yellow jackets,
grasshoppers. ants and their eggs
bugs and all sort of grubs are also on
his menu. Other delicacies which he
enjoys are snakes. rats, mice and rab-
bits.
