During Wilson's administration
the farmer Jared better than ever
before. A year ago the Republi-
cans assumed control of Congress
and every one knows what has
been happening since, notwith-
standing this, west went solidly
Republican, and the South more
than ever known before, at the re-
cent election. And now we see
the plans are already being laid
for an increase in the salary Of

not, the people show plainly that
they still want to be hodooed.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Let Christmas be Tor us q day
of gladness, though there be want
and suffering and misery in. the
world that wrings our hearts. Let
US be glad because it is the natal
day Of Him. who brought to the
world the greatest gladness it has
ever known, and the diffusion Of
whose spirit and example will
right the wrongs, cure the ills
and usuages the suffering Of al
mankind. It is not Christmas
fault, but ours, that want, suffer
ing, envy and malice still flourish
on earth.
But so long as Christmas is Gel
ebrated there is hope for the
world. Rejoice and be glad-and
try to make everybody else glad
on Christmas day! Every relig-
ious, social and traditional con-
sideration warrants us in being
happy if we do what we can to
make others happy. :.
Let us strive to replace tears by
smiles, sorrow by happiness, wor-
ry by confidence, despair by hope,
and make it indeed Merry
Christmas for those about us, for
getting not, of course, the distress
Of those million whom we cannot
see but who our beneficence can
reach through the many noble or
CARNATIONS that are striving to
alleviate the woes of the world.
And the children God bless
them let their Joy be unconfih-
ed. The burden Of our own petty
troubles, or the worlds misery,
should not be permitted to inter-
fere with their happiness at this
season. Christ admonished us
that we must become as child if
we would enjoy the full benefits
Of his love and grace. And in con-
tributing to the joy of childhood
we emulate the Master. So let us
all be glad and wear in our hearts
the symbol Of peace and joy given
to man centuries ago in Bethle-
hem.

IS lending money on farm lands
at low rate Of interest and on

detriment, rather than "a help, to
many farmers. If the money.had

RECALL SHOULD BE INVOKED

The billion dollar suit filed by
State Revenue Agent Stokes ".
Robertson against the fire insur-
ance companies doing business in
this state, has paralyzed business
from one end of Mississippi to the
other. In fact, the business inter-
ests of the state is facing the
greatest crisis in its history.
Mr.. Robertson bases his COM
plant upon violation Of the anti
trust laws Of the state by the 160
insurance companies that are do
ing business, in our !, common
wealth. These ANTITRUST laws
were enacted during the Rilbo adj
ministration, and Mississippi is
the only state in the union that
has such drastic laws.
I Under the law, Mr.. Robertson
may be justified in bringing the
suit. but from the standpoint Of
business, his procedure is moth
ing short of a public outrage.
As a result cf the outrage, prac-
tically every company doing bus
iness in the state has cancelled
all agency operations, and no more
business will be accepted, and in
all probability all policies now in
force will be cancelled within the
next few days.
The action Of the revenue agent
will not hurt the rich man, for he
is able to carry his own risks, but
the poor man who has all Of his
life's work in one or two buildings
cannot afford to take the chances
of being financially ruined by fire
in q few moments time.
In making loans banks and mon
ey lenders depend upon the insur-
ance policy as collateral, and if
this is taken away, loans will nee
essarily have to be collected, as
banks cannot afford to take the
risk Of fire on personal property.
All agencies IN Brandon have
been notified that their authority
has been suspended, and no more
policies can be written.
Over billion dollars is involv-
/ ed ID the suit and should the rev
enue agent be successful, his 70
| per cent commissions would make
him many times 4 millionaire.
He is after his COMMISSIONS
and isn'e the least concerned about
the business interests Of the state.
II he persists ii thus destroy
| ing the business Of the state, the
recall should be invoked, and i
should include very state officer

The names toad" and frog" are
used almost interchangeably by ig-
norant people, but they mean quite
different creatures. Frogs live most
of their life in the water, whereas
toads go to the breeding ponds only
at the mating season, which varies
from early March in southern latitudes
to April or May father north. Wax
ing up at that time from their long
winter sleep, they journey forth TO the
music of the soft, jubiant trilling oil
the males-that herald music of the
spring that has been called the sweet
eat sound in nature Each toad makes
directly for the pond that it claims for
its own. The number that congregate
on the shores of even the smallest pond
is remarkable. One writer has count
ed three hundred and ffty-six on the
banks of body Of water that covered
only half an acre.
The similarity between the trilling
Of the toads in spring and the exquisite
song of the periodical cicada must
strike all who have heard the cicada
But the toad's carol is much louder
and has not the sweet little downward
slur at the end that marks the song of
the ciCada.

Lights and Shadows on an
Ohio Farm

From Ohio comes a story which
ives an insight into what modern con-
'enlenceS have come to mean in the
arm home.
A certain farm house in Montgomery
.ounty Ohio, was almost entirely DC
troyed by fire a short time ago. The
.ouSe was of brick, rOOmy and sub
'tantlally built as most Old-fashioned
arm houses are. Thick stout walls
md good workmanship are probably
that saved the house from being de-
troycd, but as il was. nothing much
lut the four walls were left standing.
ne house is being rcmOdcled now

his rebuilding that the new house will

Among such COnvrnicnccs is. of

Stonewall Was Sleepy.

DR.. Hunter Mcclure, who was a
surgeon Of the "Stonewall Brigade"
and the friend as well as the ply
stefan Of Stonewall Jackson, in the
course OF some "reminiscences OF that
famous commander remarked upon
the extraordinary knowledge which he
seemed always to possess about the
enemys movements.
Late at night after the last days
fighting at Malvern Hill, Doctor Nc
CURE found General Jackson asleep
by the side OF tree, while his faith
full servant Jim was making coffee to
be ready for him when he woke. Just
then several general officers came up
They discussed the situation, which
they thought very serious. Their
troops were scattered, they said, and
il Mcclellan made an attack in the
morning, they should have no organ
lied force with him 10 resist him. Cen
eral Jackson still slept, and some one
proposed to wake him.
That was never an easy matter DR..
Mcclure says that he had seen Jim
pull the generals boots off and remove
his clothes without waking him. On
the present occasion it was almost
impossible to rouse him. But at last
he was raised to a sitting posture and
held there, while one of the officers
shouted in his car about the condition
Of the army, its inability to resist an
attack in the morning, and so forth
General Jackson's reply was:
"Pleasc let me sleep. There will
be no enemy there in the morning
So the event proved.

Pain and Rest.

We are told that pain is nothing more
than a nerve-irritation. 1t is ex-
perienced when any destructive process
goes on in any part of the body, and
may be felt in one part of the body
while the source of it is in another
Thus headache may have its source in
the muscles of the eye.
Pain, strange as it may seem, is
really a protective and beneficial SEN
satiOn.
In the case of a broken limb, eX-
IRENE pain is caused by motion in tina
limb. Therefore, the sufferer, wheth-
er man or animal, tries to keep tn
limb at rest, which is the very condi-
ton requisite for its healing. Sur
geons, indeed, have taken hints from
nature in this regard, and in cases of
tuberculosis affecting joints find that
the best results are obtained by
rendering the joint motionless by
means of splnts, though the affection
itself is often not very painful.
Pain from indigestion is relieved by
temporarily tightening the diet, and
giving the digestive organs less work
TO do Even headache usually in
dicatcs a call for rest.
Pain due to an overtaxing of the
nerve centre, that is, the brain, is
usually the most difficult to combat
since here the cause is often obscure
In this state neuralgia-nerve pain
affects first one part of the body
then another. Natures restorer, sleep,
is cOurted with difficulty, and life
ordinary duties become burdens al
most too heavy to be borne.
In this condition, natures call fo
rest is best needed by a complete
change of surroundings. If the cal
is diSregarded, serious consequences
are likely to ensue A vacation offc-
one of the best chances of recuporo
ton. In fact, regular indulgence in
such forms of recreation is the best
means of preventing this very condi-
ton, and should be looked upon not
as the indulgence of a weakness, but
as the performance OF a duty.
In the natural course of events one
adds to, rather than detracts from, the
years which may be given to active
labors by devoting regular periods to
rest.
Treat the body not as a mere ma
