BURNING OUT WEEDS.

National Crop Improvement service.l
Dirty fence corners and fence lines

distributed over the farm. Cleaning
the corners by hand. pulling the weeds.
takes care of the corners, but the ex-
tensive fence lines cannot be handled
in this way.
Anyone who has tried cleaning fence
lines erected ON wooden posts, by
burning knows the danger and anxi-
ETY. of the work. However, when the
fence has steel posts, there is little
danger In burning.
To burn fence line select a day
when the wind is blowing across the
line, and fire the vegetation when dry,
from the windward side.
If there is large accretion Of dead
vegetation along the line the fire will
be very hot and may damage the wire,
so remove any brush heaps. etc, be-
fore burning. The burning of the ac-
emulation Of one years growth will
not injure the wire.

DISASTER RELIEF
PLAN PERFECTED
American Red Cross to Pro.
vide Local Help.
Committees Soon To Be Ap
pointed in Many Com
munities.

Do you belong to the Disaster Re-
lief Committee in your town?
If you do, or if you are appointed,
it means that you are considered
brave, considerable, ven-tempered
and strong. To be appointed to this
committee is one of the highest hon.
ors that the American Red Cross can
bestow upon you; for the Disaster
Relief Committee, recently explained
by Harry L. Hopkins, director of
Civilian Relief, Gulf Division, Amer
lean Red Cross, is the great body of
straight-thinking, quick-acting, de-
pendable persons, organized in each
community to meet disasters which
arise, be they floor, fire, famine, ex-
plosions, shipwreck, or earthquake.
In the thirty-eight years since the
American Red Cross was first or
ganized in 1881, it has participated
in $50 disaster relief expeditions at
home and abroad and has expended
or directed the expenditure of twelve
and a half million dollars. This COW
ers the period up to June 1st, 1919,
the end of the fiscal year.
America averages dozen disas-
tiers year. Latest statistics COM
piled by the Gulf Division, American
Red Gross, show twelve disasters,
and the Red Cross gave relief in ev-
cry one!
In this immediate territory there
were grave disasters in recent years
the Gulf States storm in 1906, the
Mississippi cyclone in 1907, the Mis-
sissippi flood in 1912 and the second
flood in 1914. Then there was an
other flood in Natchez in 1916, and
more floods and the boil weevil men,
ace in Alabama in 1917, In fact,
1917 was bad year for disasters in
the South, for during the summer the
tornadoes at Village Springs and Car
bon Hill and New Hope, Alabama,
brought about much suffering. Ev-
erybody in this vicinity remembers
THE Lake Charles, Louisiana, storm in
1918, in which the Gulf Division Red
Cross furnished such great aid, and
at which time Harry L. Hopkins, d.
director Of civilian relief, went to
Lake Charles and directed the erec-
ton of the tent city. A total Of
$4,000 was expended in this disas-
ter alone. And in 1919 the Corpus
Christi, Texas, storm was robbed Of
much of it's horror through the
prompt action of the Red Cross.
Of these ten disasters in the Gulf
Division in recent years, the Red
Cross has given supplies and spent
money to the extent Of approx
sos. 900.

EDITORIAL


During the campaign there was as
is always great deal discussion of
proposed legislation by the candi-
dates seeking to break into the law
making BODY of the state. Such
discussions with election results has
clarified the situation as sentiment
over the state with reference to GER
tain measures, while others are still
open for further discussion. and we
are now entering the last stage of
such discussion period--tha follow
ing the elections and antedating the
6rst term and there will be some
sensible and some foolish suggestions
offered by the press and public men
before the solons gets to work in
early January. Lets-us hope that
some sound and constructive legisla-
ton will grow out of such agitations
and that the state will profit by the
concern of her sous for her welfare
by the manifestations Of such inter
est in which chant the Herald shall
probably join at least on some of the
tunes to be sung.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There Is
only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness
and that is by a constitutional remedy
HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts

caused by an infiamed condition OF the

When this tube Is inflamed you have a

when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness Is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to it's nor

forever. Many cases of Deafness are
caused by Catarrh. which is an infiamed

The Constitutional Amendment
which is being submitted at the
General Election to be held next
Tuesday seeks to amend certain sec
tion of the state constitution so that
the present barriers may be removed
and in distributing the school fund
the Legislature may act upon recon-
mendations from the state board of
education aud make a more equitable
distribution SO as to lengthen the
term in some counties of the state
with monies from the state treasury
wherein the present plan causes such
coun ties among which is Greene
County, to have to make special lev
les to cope with her sister counties in
the delta section of the state In pro-
viding equivalent number of months
of schooling to her children. This
may be the best way to secure the
legal authority desired to that end.
Several WAYS have been tried or pro-
pounded but none hit upon so far to
answer the purpose. So let US vote
for the amendment. If it proves a
bad move by abuse of the large pow
ers conferred on the legislature and
state educational board the RENE
dy is quick IN these days to make a
constitutional change under the In
itiative and Referendum; in fact it's
under the Initiative that this amend
,ment is being submitted, it origina-
ting direct by petition with and is
being sent direct to the voters for
ratification or rejection. The pres
ent plan provided in the constitution
does not work well, so better plan
should be sought and sought contin-
uously if need be by and even beyond
this present proposed one, until one
is found that WORKS satisfactorily
to every section of our grand old
commonwealth.

ARTICLE w.

Our last article brought us to the
moruing after having left Winnipeg
the night before and beholding the
wonderful stretch of wheat country
to the westward OF that great city.
1t was sight worth going the many
weary miles we had come to see. On
every side the magnificent sight of
waving yellow grain stood declaring
the glory of that far famed Wheat
Section of Canada. To our mind
thai is the prettiest time to see
wheat fields; when the grain is ripe
and ready for the sickle.
Before descanting further on what
we saw in that line, for our train is
soon TO stop and let us view it more
lesurely than from the car-window,
let US say something of the train on
which we travel Ii is known as the

legislature Will Likely Amend County
Officers Salary Law.

Forest News Register.
The newly elected sheriff. assessor,
chancery and circuit clerk of Scott
county will not be paid on fee ba-
sis. Commencing January /, these
officials all over the state will be
paid fixed salaries and allowed to
employ certain number of deputies.
all of whom will be paid out of the
county funds. The sheriff in this
county will be allowed one regular
deputy. His salary will be fixed by
the sheriff and passed on by the
board OF supervisors. ln other
words all money collected by any
official must be turned over to the
county and the officer be paid sala-
ry. According to reports the bill
passed four years ago changing from
IA fee system to salary basis for
county officials is in some respects
defective and it is said the legisla-
ture will be forced TO make certain
amendments before the county Off
cials can draw their salaries. 1t is
probable, too. from reports. that the
law making body will be asked TO in
crease salaries in some counties due
the increased cost of living in the
past four years.
