HELP THE MAN WE HAVE.

There have been in the past a num-
Der of statewide organizations in Mis-
sissippi with purposes of general ma
ture; some of them good and some not
so good, but the Mississippi Land Own
err Association undoubtedly has the
right idea in view, Help the Man We
Have"
When the people of our tate are pros
porous and happy when our fields and
pastures are producing Of the worlds
needs and the farmers and stockmen
are receiving fair price for their
products, the towns and villages will
be corespondingly prosperous and the
danger of anarchy and bolshevism as
far as we are locally concerned is very
slight.
The land owner referred to in this
organization is, not only the big man
with plantation, but the little fellow
with forty acres and mule as well.
own little piece of land and make
q home for himself and family. 1t is
primarily intended to help the small
man get a home.
1t is intended to help the man we
have in every legitimate manner Help
him to make his place going concern.
Help him to stock it with good cattle,
hogs, sheep, etc. Help him to market
to the best advantage what he has to
sell. Help him to make conditions
around his home pleasant for the fam
lily. Help him to get good schools and
church advantages
A state with such a citizenship
would be the pride of nation, and
Mississippi should by all means be
that state. Further information con-
corning the intentions of the organiza
ton can be had by addressing H. E.
Blakeslee, chairman of the organiza-
ton committee, Gulfport.
Mr.. Blakeslee was for many years
State Commissioner of Agriculture

the problems confronting our people |
and the means of solving them. AL

deeply interested in the welfare of our |
people and will continue to aid them ,
