date in Mississippi.

JACKSON Aug. rs. Cspl)-Hon. os-
car Johnston, candidate for governor.
today gave out the following statement
from his Jackson headquarters.
ITO the white Democratic voters of
Mississippi:
Since my entry into the race for
governor ! have tried to conduct a
campaign on a high plane. / have done
everything by direct methods. l have
resorted 70 no camouflage. tricks or
schemes TO deceive the public.
on the eve Of the election my OPP
ponents now send up a howl that my
friends are trying to buy the election
n arc trying to illustrate this BY
cartoons. They devised a frameup in
Marion county, which failed In it's pur-
pose, but which they have sought to
use Just the same, This was the iden-
teal scheme pulled off by the identi-
cal parties in the race between Con-
gresham Paul johnson and Theo Bilbo
Tor congress asst year and will fail
now as 1t did then. | desire to say
that no man is authorized 10 buy any
votes for me, and | would personally
volunteer my services TO prosecute any
man who attempted TO buy votes for
me, because such a man could not be
my friend but would be engaging In a
trick TO defeat my love of Mississippi.
My loyalty to her has not been and
cannot be called In question. A large
part Of the best ~ years Of my life
nave been given to her service, during
which time I feel that ! have been re-
sponsibIe for some constructive legisla-
ton. | cannot believe that the people
OF my state who are familiar with these
facts a be led to believe that / seek
the honor Of the office to which | as
pire for a purely selfish motive.
Repeatedly | have stated my atti-
tude with regard to taxation and re-
peatedly my statements have been dis
torted and ~misquoted. II Is my belief
that every acre Of land in the state OF
Mississippi should be assessed according
to Its value. Land worth Sl0O per
acre should be assessed at $500 per
acre; land worth S. per acre should be
assessed at IS per acre, / have stated
this in every section Of Mississippi,
"Russel's whole campaign has been
conducted by trying TO array one sec
ton of the state against the other. |
believe that the man who is governor
of Mississippi ought to be big enough
to be governor Of the whole state and
that every section Of the state should
man who would attempt to array the
people Of any section against the peo-
pie Of another section would be a dan
gerous man In the governors office,
and at last | am a strong believer that
honesty, ~frankness and fair dealing with
everybody and every section OF the
state Is the only proper policy. If I
upon this policy. am certain that
the people Of Mississippi will not be
deceived by an appeal to their preju-
dices. My election, ! think, Is assured
and ! promise every citizen and every
section OF the state a square DEAL

gambling chances that may favor or

All have the same gambling chance.
so the players ability really deter
mines whether he shall be loser or

tice and patience all help to make him
a winner. and the lacktof these loser.
Those who win make their gains at
the expense of those who lose. There
must always be winners and losers,
the winners rejoicing and the losers
disappointed, complaining and jealous
Of the winners.
How much like the experience of ev-,
eryday life Some succeed because of
their diligence, earnestness and cease
less ambition, others lose because of
the lack Of these winning qualities.
Some live In well-deserved ease and
comfort on the proceeds of their suc-
cess, others in discomfort, proclaiming
that they suffer from injustice.
Everybody must play the game of,
life, and, like the game Of cards. in
the end every gamester must be
loser. Only the Grim Reaper is sure to
be the winner in the end.-John A.

prepared by the United States Depart

Every important grain state has
been losing over million bushels of
grain each year because of inefficient
threshing methods, declare investiga-
tors of the United States department
of agriculture. The government, by
bringing this enormous loss to the at
tention of farmers and threshermen
and showing them how to avoid 1t,
saved 100000 bushels of grain in
the Il states in which the educational
work was carried on last year.
When an average of eight bushels
OF grain is lost on every farm in the
United States at threshing time every
year, that loss begins to have a per-
sonal meaning. With wheat worth
1925, 1t is well worth while to pre-
vent that loss, If possible And 1t Is
entirely possible. The chief source of
loss Is the inefficient operation Of
thresbing machines.
Any standard threshing machine will
do satisfactory work If kept in repair
and operated intelligently. If the OPP
orator knows his machine. and sees
that 1t is properly adjusted and OPP
Grated, grain will come through clean
and losses will be small. The farmer
should know enough about the general
operation of threshing machine to
detect poor work, which means a di-
rect loss to him.
To do good work the separator must
be set level, both crosswise and length
wise. and then carefully adjusted to
the particular job at hand. The greater
part of the separation is done In the
cylinder and Immediately after the
grain passes over it. If cracked grains
are frequent there may be too much
