Oil Prospects-in Two Counties.

The Oil game is a many sided
game as may be seen from the
TWO newspaper clippings below.
One is taken from the Oxford
Eagle. the other from the West
Point Times-Herald.
The Oxford Eagle under the
caption, The Oil Boom a Dead
Issue" says:
"A flash In the pan.
Project dies a borninR.
Promoters benefited by secur-
ing leases. seems TO be the result
of the project put forth by the
citizens of Oxford to organize the
North Mississippi Oil and Devel-
opment Co.
The excitement has all passed
by and we have no more signs
of oil than we had a year ago."
The West Point Times-Herald
says "Geologist Finds a Lake of
Oil in Clay County" in the fol-
lowing paragraph:

@. w. Murray, oil geologist had
reported that there was undOubt-

The Weekly desires to stress
the Importance of the county
agents communication to farm
ers in this weeks paper.
The problem of curing sweet
potatoes has long hindered the
raising of them in large quantities
in this section. The want of ia
cilities to safely care for large
yields of sweet potatoes has min
inized the production because of
the risk attendant upon big
crop when no safe means of car
ing for it has been provided.
Most farmers can take care of
small crops of sweet potatoes.
but when il comes to raising
them as the money crop, they
must be safeguarded against loss
by having provided a curing
plant of sufficient capacity. Ev-
cry farmer should attend the po-
tato meeting next Monday that
can; cooperate IN erecting the
plant, and then go home and set
70 sweet potatoes as mucn. acre
age as he can procure slips for
and cultivate. Sweet potatoes,
corn, peas. soy beans and Sor-
ghum are about the only crops
the lateness OF the season per
nit planting with any degree of
probability of yield. These crops
will all be worth money next fall.
Plant as much of each as you
can, or better specialize on any
one of them TO the limit.
Cotton prospects are uncertain;
the boil weevil may get most
of what little has been planted
YOU had better make certain of
a money crop by growing sweet
potatoes. corn, etc, while the Op
portunity is open. You will need
money in the fall TO pay taxes.

THE PROFITEER MUST GO

In the June issue Of the Commoner,
Hon. W. ]. Bryan says:
The producers and consumers are
in no mood to permit the profiteer to
continue his exploitation. He is
skimming all the cream off the milk.
He is not only doing injustice to those
whom he is supposed to serve but he
is threatening our whole industrial
system.
The only test of wages is to be found
in their purchasing power. What good
does it do to double wages if prices
rise still more rapidly? And it is
true on the farm as we'll as in the fac
tory, and adjustments move more
slowly on the farm. One can not,
when he plants, know the price of the
commodity at harvest time. When he
begins to feed a calf at weaving time
he cannot know what the price of the
beef will be three years afterwards
when the calf is ready for the butch
err. If the middlemen are permitted to
exact an unreasonable toll men will
be drawn from both farm and factory
in trade, and the larger the middle
class becames the larger the burden
thrown upon those who till. The high
err the per cent of profit allowed to
those who buy and sell, the harder it
will be to persuade the farmers son
to remain on the farm-the more diff
firult it will be to induce the artisans
sons to follow their fathers craft.
Eventually the END must come to
this saturnalian feast of greed-"Why
not now?" Justice demands that a
limit he fixed to the middle mans pro-
fit the very existence of our indus
trial system demands it. Why de-
lay"
We limit the rate Of interest that a
banker can charge--and the bankers
are honorable men. Why should a
manufacturer, wholesaler, or a mer-
chant be allowed to charge without
limit?
We need usury law for business
as well as for banking The unneces-
sary middleman should be eliminated
the useful middleman should be
compelled to serve at reasonable
rate. Justice must not wait.

BOSSISM WINS

Everything said and done. at Chica-
go was based on the theory that Re-
publican success this year is assured.
That belief accounts for the platform
of blurs and blotches. 1t explains the
nomination of Senator Harding, who
could not wiz solid delegation in his
own state at the primaries. The prin-
cipal concession to public sentiment
was the rejection of Gen. Wood and
Gov. Lowden, not because they had
used money nor because they were in
any way unsatisfactory to the controll-
ing interests, bit because they had
been found out.
This exposure might have been ig-
nored if the investigation set on foot
by Senator Borah had not confirmed
it in every detail. The convention
yielded to Senator johnson when it
adopted a platform repudiating the
League of Nations, and for peace in
the party it gave up Wood and Low
den, both highly capitalized, to keep
Senator Borah in line; but how is Sen
ator Kenyon's subcommittee, which
is to fix its spotlight upon all cam
paign expenditure until November,
to be placated? With that body of
cross-examiners hanging on the flank
of Big Business, the scandal Of the
primaries is likely to be intensified be-
fore we get to the ballor-boxes.
From all that is known of Senator
Harding it must be said that he is an
inviting subject for coercion and in
timidation. The treaty-wreckers of
the Senate have had him in their pow
er for more than year, although at
one time he professed to favor the
treaty and the covenant with few
reservations. They have now made
his nomination possible and have CIV
en- him a platform to their own taste
which is probably the most perfdious
declaration that ever received the
endorsement of great party. A man
who has proved so easy in the past is
bound to receive repeated visits from
a stand-and-deliver faction that is al
ways irreconcilable and always two
listed in it's diplomacy.
The concern of the people in all this
lies in the fact that they are invited to
turn their government over to a par
ty VIGOROUSLY controlled by selfish in
terests always subject to political
blackmail- Although the two wings
of the organization are more hostile
today than ever before, there is not
sincerity enough in either Of them to
dissolve an unnatural partnership and
follow it's honest convictions. Hating
each other with indescribable rancor,
they both are too greedy of power and
place, now thought to be within reach,
to risk another separation, and so they
continue to do business by terror and
trickery.
Mr.. Harding's supreme test as
candidate will come when, with the
knowledge that the enlightened rank
and file of Republicans are not pre-
pared to sacrifice all the moral tri-
umphs of a costly war, the avenging
angels of Sim Feinism and pro-Ger-
manism in the Senate call upon him to
endorse and elaborate their policy of
scuttle. The calibre of the man and
the kind of administration that may
be expected of him, if elected, will be
revealed by the manner in which he
meets that issue.-New York World.

HELPFUL HINTS FROM THE
HOME DEMONSTRATION AGENT
Eat Vegetables to Keep Well and
Lower the Food Bill.

Are you making daily use of vege-
tables from your garden? Are you
canning them for use next winter. II
so, you are helping to keep your
family well.
Vegetables should have a place in
the meals every day, because they
contain iron, lime and other minerals
which build bones and blood and reg
ulate the work of the body. Vegeta-
bles are the cheapest source of min
erals and their value in the diet is
great.
Housewives often wonder whether
it pays to buy vegetables out of sea-
son. 1t is only in rare instances that
it is necessary to do this for home
grown ones are surely more econom-
ical when obtained from the home gar
den or purchased in season. During
the season for vegetable, it is well
to use it fresh and to can, dry or store
the surplus. This will furnish vege-
tables at all times of the year.
Vegetables vary so much in color,
favor and form, that they add varie-
ty to our meals. Almost any vegeta-
BILE can be served for dinner, supper
and luncheon while only a few are
suited to breakfast. However, I'M
less the vegetablessare prepared in
different ways, the family tires of
them. They may be served raw,
boiled, scalloped, creamed, stuffed,
baked, in soup and as salad.
The purpose of cooking vegetables
is to soften them. Wilted vegetables
can be freshened by soaking in cold
water for an hour before serving.

Mrs. Abby Scott Baker of the Ma
tional Woman's party, explaining to-
day why the picketing at Chicago is
not to be duplicated here, said the Re-
rublicans were to blame for shaving
the thirty-sixth suffrage amendment
ratification state in stock in their
shelves and refusing to give it to us"
whereas the Democrats were not in
similar possession. The National Wo-
mans party, she said, will try enough
appeals to state delegations and indi-
vidua delegates to induce the conven-
ton to bring pressure upon the DEM
ocratic states of Louisiana and North
Carolina in the hope of inducing one
of them to become the thirty-sixth
state and thus confer national enfran-
chisement upon women before the
presidential elections.

EQUAL PARTY POWER
EXPECTED BY WOMEN

San Francisco, Calf, June 49,
Women expect to emerge from the
Democratic Nation Convention here in
possession of equal party power and
responsibility, and thus far their
leaders say they have encountered no
opposition. They believe they will be
in position to voice a tremendous ap-
peal to enfranchise women to mark
their ballots in the Democratic COL
umn next fall. =
Thus far the women have made no
formal arrangements for getting what
they want from the convention. AL
ready possession of the equal repse-
sentation on the Executive Committee
of the national committee, which Re-
publican women in Chicago accepted
as compromise for their original
demands, the women say all they need
do is to make known their desires to
the party leaders and to the conven-
ton itself.
The principle change for which they
are working--they say "agitating' is
too strong wording-is the replace,
ment of the woman associate National
Committeeman from each state with
National Committeewoman to be in
every sense the coequal of the Ma
tional Committeeman of the State.
The women they would have selected
in each state by the same machinery
which now names the Committeeman.
They have no plans for getting this,
either. They simply declare Demo-
cratic men have always been generous
with them and that they cannot fail
now to realize the big advantage to be
gained from putting the Republican
attitude toward their sex to shame.
