WASTE, EXTRAVAGANcE AND
DANCER CAUSED BY LIVESTOCK
TREsPASSING ON RAIL
ROAD TRACKS.

Mr. T. L. Dubbs, Superintendent OF
the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Hali'
road, has furnished the Bolivar Demo
crat with the accompanying cut OF
livestock trespassing on the railroad
tracks at Cary. The cut was made from
a kodak picture taken by one OF the
employees of the railroad. The picture
portrays a situation Of danger to the
travelling public and to trainmen,
caused by trains striking livestock
while trespassing on the tracks 1t also
portrays the cause of great and In
excusable waste and loss Of wealth to
the country, state and nation.
Thousands of head OF meat and
draft animals are annually killed on
the railroad tracks, and in no state is
this loss and waste as heavy as in the
state of Mississippi.
On the Vicksburg Division OF the
Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Rail
road, which is the division under th'
jurisdiction of Mr.. Dubbs, extending
from Cleveland to Vicksburg, ant
from Coahoma to Vicksburg, anf
from Coahoma to Rolling Fork, witt
a few short branches, two hundre
and thirty head of stock have bee
killed since the first of the year. A
a conservative estimate, this stock
worth $4,000.
At the present time, there is
great shortage of meat, and 1t is
high that many people are unable
have it on their tables at all. For tn
reason, and the further and more In
portant reason, that live stock tre
nassirp on railroad tracks are apt,

any time, to derail train and injure
employees and passengers, it would
seem that the people would become
interested in trying to remove this
evil by preventing their stock, and the
stock of their nelghbors, from tres
passing on the railroad tracks.
The Yazoo and Mississippi Valley
Railroad has spent a great deal OF
money in building fences, but the diff
ficulty is that the building and main
tanning of fences does little toward
ameliorating the live stock trespassing
evil. because most of the livestock are
killed inside the station grounds with
in the town limits, as illustrated by the
accompanying picture taken at Cary
where fences cannot be maintained
without interfering with the free access
of the public to the railroad premises
for the transaction of business.
This is a matter which must, sooner
or later, attract the attention OF the
people, and especially county, STATE
and federal authorities. The drall
upon the federal treasury in paying
for stock killed by trains while tres
passing stock to the lives of passer
gers and trainmen, which include
everybody, because everybody, at som
time during the year, takes trip on
railroad train, certainly are OF suff
cient importance to outweigh the sligt
advantage obtained by owners OF liv'
stock in permitting their stock to graz
t on railroad tracks.
5 The railroad authorities have r
peatedly appealed to the public II
4 assistance and co operation in tn
, matter. They have cotton little a
0 sistance. Stock killing is on the i
s crease in this locality, and the railros
|. authorities are asking stock owne
j. to keep their stock away from Il
t tracks.

THIS small person is much pleased
i with life in general and her new
coat in particular. and she has no
monopoly Of pleasure in the new styles
for children. For little girls the re-
Gently arrived coats are the most in
genious and the most pleasing that
have come to pass in recent years.
They ought to be, to appease us for
our much-abused and depleted pocket
books which they have helped to fiat

the list Of things that have increased
most in price. But parents hearts
are soft; procession of new frocks

little people as for grownups. It ap-

from four to eight years old and shows
how well it looks with border of wool

satisfaction in a band of embroidery

them. or a tiny girl may be INDUCED

pointed yokes to which full skirts are

Beliefs Concerning Teeth,

There are curious fancies about
teeth. To dream about teeth was held
to be a warning that sorrow was at
hand. and it was still more unlucky
to dream Of ones teeth falling out.
Many people still throw an extracted
tooth into the fire for luck, and this
Is observed specially in the case Of
young children to ensure that the re.
mainder Of their teeth will come prop
erly. Teeth wide apart Is said to be
q sign Of future prosperity and hap
niness..
