FLOUR At S25---
HOW MUCH CORN
WILL YOU WANT?

"What will -four at $25 a barrel
do to the price of corn? What
would the saving of the twenty-five
million dollars worth of stock that
starved in the State of Mississippi
alone last year mean to us today?
What does the tremendous food
shortage, that is certainly coming
this fall, mean to each and every
farmer of OKTIBBEHA County?"
These are Slree questions that are
propounded from talk this week
with Prof. j. R. Kicks, of the A. and
M. College, a man whose experience
and time, with that of hundreds of
: others, is devoted to the success of
the farmer. How do you answer
them?
"You can look for flour at $25 a
barrel and higher before Christmas"
Said Mr.. Kicks. "And this means a
most unusual demand for corn and
corn meal. In fact, the demand for
all food crops will greatly exceed the
supply this winter and the farmers
who put forth every effort to raise
food and feed crops are certain OF
making good profits. Too much en-
phasis cannot be put on this fact.
"Just think of last winter when
more than rs million dollars worth
of stock actually starved to death in
the state of Mississippi alone. Does
anyone want to go through that ex-
perience again?
"By all means, plant all the food
and feed crops you can-and then
plant little more. Get your canner
. to working overtime-put up all the
surplus food--vegetables, berries and
fruit-that you can. On account of
the high cost of sugar (and it will
probably go still higher) it may be
necessary to can the fruits unsweet-
ened and depend on the syrups OF
this years crops to sweeten them
but no matter what else you do,
RAISE ALL YOU CAN, CAN ALL
YOU DON'T SELL, and then raise
and can little more"

1t Pays to Trade in Starkuille

Do you know that it pays to buy
every article possible from t h e
STARKVILLE merchants? They
have a meritorioSis argument. They
have broader idea of merchandising
and try to render REAL SERVICE
to the public. 1t would be folly to
advise the citizens of OKTIBBEHA
to trade in STARKVILLE and OK
TIBBEHA exclusively if these mer-
chants failed to give in return the
BEST VALUES to be had at the
RIGHT PRICE.
THEY can compete with any mail
order house on the fair basis of
QUALITY and SERVICE.

DEMOCRATS WILL
HASTEN BARRAGE
AGAINST HARDING
(The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
623 Riggs Building.)
BY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, June dat the
headquarters of the Democratic nae
tional committee, clerks are busy
going over the files of the Congress
sional Record so that the votes and
public .utterances of Senator Warren
G.. Harding, Republican presidential
nominee, may be quickly presented
to the voters Of the nation. The
Democrats plan to begin an imme-
diate barrage against the Harding
candidacy, and no time will be lost
If Senator Harding intends to
start the campaign early the Demo-
Gratis propose to be ready for him,
and will not await the naming of
their party's candidate at San Fran
cisco.
position to get the campaign under
way in the heat of summer and it
will be a fierce and protracted battle.
Democratic chieftains will start
training their heaviest artillery on
the Harding record before June
passes.
The high-lights of the Ohio nomi-
nee's record were given in this cor
respondence yesterday.
Democratic chiefs now feel little
uneasiness over the labor vote. With
both the party nominees and the Re-
publican platform quite unSatlsfac-
tory to organized labor, Democrats
Dor vote, unless some DEMOCRATIC
with worse anti-labor record should
by chance be- nominated This is

talk is about McAdoo or Cox, with
the accent on the former name.
In nominating Senator Harding,
the Republican convention deprived
the Democrats of one campaign is
sue which assuredly would have been
driven home had the nominee been
either Governor Lowden Or General
Wood. Democratic headquarters here
merely waited word from Chicago
of the nomination of either Lowden
expense broadside.
The senate campaign investigation
revealed that General Woods friends
expended more than $1,250,000 to
nominate him. Governor Lowden's
pre-convention expenses were In ex-
$4,000 came from the Illinois gov
ernor himself. Had either of these
men been nominated, the Democratic
slogan was ready and would have read
something like us the presidency for
sale?"
Senator Harding's pre-convention
expenses, however, were compare
lively modest. His campaign fund
was approximately $113,o0O and this
probably cannot be attacked as ex-
cessive, in view of the hard fight
Senator Harding conducted in his
own and other states to get himself
before the public.
Senator Hiram Johnson, another OF
the losing candidates, had campaign
fund nearer the 100000 mark, but
Senator johnson entered more states
than did Harding and the Californian
had quite a tussle on the Pacific
coast with Herbert Hoover.

WOODS DEFEAT

CINCINNATI, June 15.-William

of 100000 to General Leonard Woods

home today and issued statement
In which he fiayed the Old Guard and
Nicholas Murray Butler. of New
York, for General Woods defeat.
Mr. Proctor was particularly in
censed at Mr.. Butler for the lat
ter's alleged statement that General
Woods campaign was backed by
financial gamblers.
THAT statement is maliciously
false said Mr.. Proctor. mo con-
tributions were made to General
Woods campaign besides those ]
mentioned in my testimony before
ton committee. Names of the con-
tributors are on record. and as every
one knows they are not the kind of
men DESCRIBED by DR.. Butler.
DIR. Butler is trying to square
the old Guard for what they did to
General Wood.
General Wood was entitled to the
nomination because he had the prefer
ence in the primaries,

eral Wood?" he asked
Henry Daughtery, Harding's man
ager, was good prophet when he
said that the candidate would be
nominated at 2:11 o'clock in the
morning, before the delegates actual

MADRID.-(By Mail WHO can
take the place as marvel of SPANS
bull rings vacated when Jose Gomez
(Joselito), the supreme matador,
was slain in May in the bull ring Of
Tolavera de la Reina?
This is the question all Spain is
asking since the tragic ending of
Belmonte, Joselito's only real rival
as a popular idol, remains alone in
his glory, but inasmuch as it has al
ways been the custom in Spain to
have two great bull fighting favor
ties, it is expected that Belmonte's
supremacy will quickly be challenged
by new romantic figures.
The most likely claimant for Jo-
selito's place in public esteem is be-
lieved to be Sanchez Mejias, Jselitos
although Chicuelo and
only recently flashed upon the firna-
ment of toreros, are expected to
prove strong contenders.
Not in many years has any ira gic
death created such a widespread irN-
preston as did Joselito's. His TAX

years of ring glory before him stirred
the While nation. For, despite the
fact that he had been matador for
eight years, Joselito was only TWEEN
ty-fiye years old at the time, of his
death. Ring skill came to him as
an inheritance, for he was the son of
a famous gypsy bull fighter, and his
brother Rafael, popularity called Gel

also a bull fighter.

Mr.. Louis Henning Is
Drowned at Macon
Recreation Club

MACON, Ga, June 15.-Mr Louis
Henning, thirty-four years old, ship
ping clerk of the Kinnett Coal and
Ice company, was drowned at the
Recreation club late Monday after
moon. Although he was unable to
swim, he jumped from a diving
board into twelve feet of water
With his wife watching from the
bank, Henning was in the water
with his brother-in-law, C. H. Mea-
dows. According to Mr. Meadows,
he thought Mr.. Henning could swim
and paid no attention when he jump
ed into the water feet foremost.
Several minutes later, Mr.. Hen
ning's wife called to Mr.. Meadows
to save him." Before assistance
could be summoned from a passing
boat, Mr.. Henning rose to the sur
face and sank.
Doctors J. w. Ward and Arthur
Wyatt hurried to the club from the
Macon hospital with a pulmotor, but
no response was obtained from it.
Mr.. Henning's body was found by
divers twenty minutes after it sank.
The physicians expressed the opin-
ion that Mr.. Henning was unable
to save himself because his lungs
filled with water.
Mr.. Henning moved to Macon two
years ago from Chicago, where he
was born and reared. Several months
ago he married Miss Ethel Latham,

CHICAGO.-Marsha Field, Chi
cago merchant prince, has not relin-
quished his iron hold on his mil
lions, although he has been dead
now nearly twenty years. His will,
has proved an invulnerab1e fortress
which the best legal talent in the
country has stormed only to be re-
pulsed.
Judge Charles M. Foell, Of the SUI
perior court handed down an opin-
ion upholding the famous Article Xxx
of the will. In doing this Judge
lie policy, the two weapons which
were this time turned on the will,
had failed to pierce it's ,armor.
Captain Marshall Field, III, had
sought to have the will broken
through, public policy, contending
of this nation to allow such a great
amount of wealth to remain intact,
continually rolling into larger sum:
The decision was both a defeat and
victory for Captain Field.
But for Henry Anthony Marsh, the
Captain Fields dead brother, and
Peggy Marsh, the English actress,
the decision was sad defeat In
this he was denied many millions.
Henry Anthony Marsh, born out of
wedlock, wasj declared an "unlaW-
full issue"-so much for romance.
The only person in the suit who
profited was Mrs. Nancy Perkins
Field III, widow of Henry Field. By
the decision she comes into possess
sion of her dover rights in her hus-
bands estate. The ruling permits
the widow, whose recent marriage to
her former husbands cousin, was a

Decision Keeps Marshall Field
Fortune Intact, Actress Son Lose:

will not have access to the fortune
until he is fifty years of age
1t is a victory in that it gives him
the accumulated income which has
piled up on Henry Fields share of
the estate since the latter's death,
with the exception of the portion
which swill go to the widow as her
dover right. 1t is a defeat in that
it strikes a probably fatal blow
at the plans of Chicago heirs to I'M
do the famous twentieth clause" of
the Marshall Field will and bring
huge estate.
Dunno to Take Appeal
Despite the rather anomalous out
come, Mr.. Field expressed himself as
well satisfied. Less content, how
ever, is former Governor Edward F.
Dunno, who acted as attorney for
the son of Henry Field and Peggy
Marsh; so much less that he will
appeal the case.
The latest chapter in the involved
history of the Field will litigation
started May 10, when an imposing
array of counsel, including Elihu
Root, filed petition before Judge
Foell on behalf Of Marshall Field Ill,
for an immediate partition of the
estate. The partition was requested
on the ground that, through the pro-
visions of the twentieth clause" the
will violated the laws intended to
prevent the perpetuity of huge
estates, such as the Field property
Under this twentieth clause" Mar
shall Field III will not come into
possession of the first half of his
fortune until he is we'll past forty,
and will not get all of it until he is
fifty Should he die in the mean
time, the clause would go into eff
feet automatically for the next heir,
and so on.
1t was this clause which the Chi
cago heirs failed to break. Judge
Foell holding that the merchant
prince was we'll within the law de-
signed to prevent exactly that which
his will encompasses. The decision
was oral.
