THANKSGIVING SERVICE
AT BAPTIST CHURCH

The various churches joined in q
union service at the Baptist church
on Thanksgiving. Rev. Hill, pastor
of the Presbyterian church delivered
the sermon, which was eloquent and
inspiring.
"The true spirit of Thanksgiving
he said, "is to recognize that it is
more blessed to give than 10 'accive.
This is true not only of the individ-
ual, but also of a mighty nation. A
nation is great not only because it
has received most, but because it
has had the privilege Of bestowing
greater gifts on rest of the world.
There can be no peace or prosperity,
or happiness unless we fear God and

The first practical start with the
permanent improvement work at A..

commissions improvement schedule,
is now under way. This is to pro-
vide additional water-power facili-
ties for the Agricultural College
power house. This plant, although
well planned and constructed, is de-
ficient in water power, and has been
for some time, so that additional
we'll construction is essentially
timely. Supervising Architect T. C.
Link, of the State Commission, with
Mr.. Trueblood, his associate, and
Hamilton johnson, of Jackson, hy-
draulic engineer of standing and
ability, reached the campus on Tues
day, and consulted President Hull,

paratory to starting this long-de

BABY GIRL WANTED.

DO you know of baby girl whose
parents or guardian would consent
to its adoption into a good home?
If SO, telephone Hemlock 6O32 be-
fore S o'clock this afternoon and the
baby will be provided with all that
infant heart can crave or baby lungs
cry for.
Girl babies are at premium in
Memphis, it would seem, for Mrs. A.
b. Hudgins, journeying hence from
her home in Starkville, Miss, said
yesterday that she could find moth
ing but boys for adoption.
She visited the orphanages and
the homes for tots, but not a girl
was to be had. Boys were offered on
every hand, for either only girls are
wanted nowadays, since suffrage be-
logy is manifesting itself in an un-
usually abundant birth rate of boy
babies.
At any rate, Mrs. Hudgins, WHO
has a comfortable and childless
home in Starkville, is seeking a girl
baby, not less than two weeks nor
more than one year old. She has a
baby wardrobe awaiting it, having
prepared stacks of infant clothing
before she came to seek a grille, SO
confident was she that one could be
found for the looking.
She cares not whether the little
one be brunette or blonde, dark or
light haired, black or blue eyes, Just
so it is healthy grille in need of a
home for its future enjoyment and
development. Mrs. Hudgins plans
to leave for home at 5 o'clock thi,
afternoon, so she is hoping some one
will telephone her before that hour
today and make her happy with the
gift of a little domestic sunshine.

STATE INFESTED BY
FAKE NURSERYMEN

According to officers of the State
Plant Board of Mississippi and the
horticultural extension division at
Mississippi Agricultural and Me-
chanical College, wildcat and unac-
credited handlers of nursery stock
are continuing to infest the state.
This traffic continues despite the adj
verse publicity which has been Civ
en- this bootlegging and altogether
nefarious business.
According to Prof. A. B. McKay,
head of the department of horticul-
tural instruction and extension.
scarcely day passes that does not
bring information relative to some
additional victims of these alleged
truit-tree and nursery stock pirates
and buccaneers. AS stated, these
so-caleld nursery experts or takers
are about as smart as their kind of
human specimens usually are. They
are careful not to infest the cities or
large community centers, but Div
their questionable trade with peoples
IN the interior, armed with alluring
and attractive contract" forms of
the most glittering and specious
character. Having selected their
prospects and territory, to suit the
purposes of their trade, these fell
lows present such glittering propo-
sails, prospects and promises as to
offer good bait to the unwary and
credulous.
The farmers and nurserymen of
mississippi, as stated by Prof. Nc
Kay, should profit by the costly ex-
perience of those who have been
vlctimized, and either consult their
county agents, or, if their county
does not afford or carry a demon
stration agent, then communicate

NER CORN CROP
States and Feder.i Crop Report for
kentucky Shows Prospects Good
for Crops In State This
Year.

Kentucky's crop prospects now in
dictate the production of fine corn
crop of 1O7,1l0,000 bushels compared
to S2,500,000 bushels last year, and a
tobacco crop of 442 ,431 900 pounds,
compared to 456.5O0,OOO pounds pro-
duced last year, according to the Sep
TENDER crop report issued jointly to-
day at Louisville and Frankfort by H.
F. Bryant, Kentucky agent of the U.
S. Bureau of Crop Estimated, and w,
C. Hanna, State Commissioner of Ag-
riculture.
Oats are estimated 11,5S5,000 BUSH
els compared to 100000 bushels pro-
duced last year; potatoes 6,52S,OO0
bushels compared to 100000 last
year; sweet potatoes 1,63S,dOO bush
els compared to 1,6S0,OO0; barley 114,-
900 bushels compared to 100000; ap-
Piles 5,22S,OOO bushels compared to II
100000; peaches 100000 bushels
compared to 10000 bushels last year;
and sorghum for sirup 3,O99,OOO gal
Ions compared to 2,542,0O0 gallons
made last year.
All these forecasts are subject to re-
vision upward or downward later in
the season, depending on whether
conditions are favorable or unfavor-
able for proper maturity.
The recent wet weather will have a
tendency to increase the tobacco esti-
mate, while the damage from rust and
"wildfre" may tend slightly to re-
duce it. The excitement over damage
from rust and "wildfre" apparently
has caused over-estimates Of the per
cent. of damage to the crop as while,
although individual losses may be Sc
we're, even complete in some cases.
The states's total tobacco acreage is
about ten per cent. less than last year,
representing a heavy cut in acreage in
the Western Kentucky tobacco dis
tricts and big increase Of acreage
in the hurley counties. The United
States total tobacco crop ROW is esti-
mated at 1,55S,S12,OOO pounds COM
pared to 1889 ,45S,O00 pounds produced
last year.

there are now SO per cent. fewer

REVISION IN CUBAN REClPROS-
 ITY IS NEEDED

In the last calendar year Cuba sold goods to the United States aggregat- ing $419,OO0,000 while purchasing but $27S,000,000 worth of goods in this situation on the island, the Wall Street Journal appropriately re- marks: "It is of considerable i'm portance, therefore, that in the deal. ings betwen the two countries a com. mercial contract shall not become scrap of paper"
 Cuba has waXed wealthy during the past eighteen years during which time she Nas been allowed a tariff concession of twenty per cent under competitors in marketing her cane crop in the United States. In nor tically the entire cane crop of the island. The time has come for re- vision of the reciprocity treaty by which the benefits of trade between the two countries should be more nearly capitalized. The American rice growers should be allowed a con- cession that will secure for them the trade of the island and by which they will be able to compete with Oriental rice.
 Certain it is that contract entered into in good faith between Ameri- can exporters and Cuban importers should be lived up to. The action of President Menocal in prohibit ing further importations of rice until January 1, when the present supply will be absorbed, will save Ameri- can firms from great loss, but while this action is appreciated by the rice people, it would never have been necessary had Cubans bought American rice. With tariff con- cesson by which the American pro- duct can compete with Oriental rice raised under cheap labor and vastly different living conditions, Cuba can get her supply of rice without taking chances in loss through a decline in price. It will not be necessary to place orders months ahead as it is in | buying Oriental rice, and both the American producers and the Cuban buyers will be better off.-Beaumont | Rice Journal.
