THE SHEEP INDUSTRY COMING

Last Saturday in Yazoo City the
boys and girls sheep club members
and other raisers Of sheep brought
in their product of wool for display
and sale to the tune of 1000 or s.
900 pounds. Three buyers of big
firms and local buyers bid on the
wool which gave a tendency to sat
isfactory prices. An old negro who
has been grading wool in Memphis
for the past 20 years on the advice
of Mr.. H. O. Pate, farm markets man.
was secured for the same service
for the day at Yazoo and Mr.. G. Big
ford, State Sheep Expert, was on
hand to give further instructions in
the sheep industry.
We are interested in what the
sales will amount to in the new
sheep industry over in Yazoo, and
we venture what is done in old Va
zoo may be done in Lincoln, too.
Swat the NANCY dog and raise the
woolly sheep.

Assistant Chairman State Memorial
For Soldiers and Sailors

DR.. 1. w. Cooper, County Chair
man, and Hon. T. Brady, District
Chairman, have appointed Mr.. T. L.
Sasser active assistant chairman.
Mr.. Sasser has already begun a
personal canvass of the county and
will place the matter clearly and sin
cerely before the people.
1t is expected that $500 will be
given for every soldier and sailor in
the State. Lincoln sent out about
one thousand. Our allotment Is,
therefore, $1,000.
With Lincoln's $4,000 people II
would seen the amount should be
easily forthcoming, especially when
the praiseworthy object is taken in
to consideration.
After all their muni1cent gifts in
the time of stress and strain occa'
stoned by the war, the people will
not tail in remembering in lasting
memorial the men who died that
they and future generations might
live.

WOULD FIND WHY
OF LOWER PRICES
Sen. Harrison Thinks Mississip'
pi Hogs Equal Any-LincOln
Is Interested.

Senator Pat Harrison, Of Missis-
sippi, together with Senator Rams
dell of Louisiana, has voted for a
Congressional appropriation of $4O,-
goo with which TO investigate the
"soft pork" problems Of the South.
The question is one of vital impor-
tance to Lincoln County, as one Of
Mississippi's largest hog producing
sections, for the reason that about
80 per cent of the hogs that go to
market from this place sell as soft
hogs. This county, though also a
large corn producing county, does
not produce enough corn to feed out
its own hogs, and the result is that
Lincoln county farmers get price
considerably less than 1t is contend
ed they should receive for their hogs.
The Mississippi Packing Company
at Natchez, claims soft hogs pro-
duce as good hams in every way as
do the corn fed hogs of the north.
Recently that company, through a
Yazoo County Home Demonstration
Agent, placed ham sandwiches in one
of the drug stores Of that city free
for one afternoon as proof of their
contention. One hundred or more
of Yazoo City's housewives were
served the sandwiches and thought
the ham the equal of any they had
ever eaten. Yet the Mississippi
Packing Company claims to be un-
able to get the price for their fnish-
ed product from the soft hogs that
they get from fed-out hogs and con-
sequently cannot pay the price for
soft hogs they pay for fed-out hogs
or hardened hogs.
Their contention is that the less
price for the hams of the soft hogs
is merely a matter of prejudice and
that it is to be finally overcome by
teaching housewives throughout the
nation that Mississippi's hogs are as
good without corn hardening as the
hogs of the north are with it. They
are asking Mississippi housewives to
ask for the Mississippi product.

Forgot He Had A Thousand
Dollars For 20 Years

James Bryant, an old man living
at Burlington, Ia, does things and
then forgets about them. He says
he has always been afflicted with
these lapses of memory. Just now
he is in Jail for stealing horse. but
says he cannot recall the act. Being
in Jail he has had little time to
think about things, and last week
recollected that 20 years ago he de-
posted $1,000 in a Burlington bank.
A policeman took Bryant to the
bank, and sure enough the money
was there on deposit, with 20 years
accumulated interest. Now Burling-
ton is wondering whether Bryant is
a faker or a smooth liar.
