THREE ALLUVIAL LAND
BOOKLETS ARE PLANNED

Three booklets simplifying the data on
the agricultural resources and posi-
bilities Of the alluvial lands Of the lower
Mississippi valley, contained in the
Call Of the AIluvial Empire" will be
issued during 1920 by the Southern AL
luvial Land association, according to
information given out by F. D. Beneke,
secretary of the association. These
booklets will treat separately of the
hluvial lands of Arkansas. Mississippi
and Louisiana and will go to press late
in October. Decision to issue them was
made at meeting Of the officers of the
association held at the Hotel Gayoso
Tuesday afternoon.
The association will send it's photog-
rapher through the alluvial region three
times this year to secure the pictures
with which to illustrate the articles
these booklets will contain. The pho
tographer will make his first trip
through the delta in June to secure
photographs of the small grains, wheat
and oats in harvest; the second trip in
midsummer to photograph alfalfa cut
tings and growing cotton and corn,
while the third trip will be made in the
early autumn to photograph the har-
vesting of the corn and picking of cot
ton.
The association has just received
visit from John G. Shaver, land repre- :
sentative of the Chicago Daily Drovers'
Journal, who asked the association to
furnish 80 to 40 articles on the alluvial
empire to this publication during the

QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS

G. How did the use of the word
"grog" signifying liquor, originate?
R. D.
A. An old sea admiral in the eight
zenith century ordered that the men
under his command should no longer be
allowed to drink undiluted rum, BY
his direction the spirit was mixed with
water before being served. His sailors
resented the order and christened the
mixture "grog" in ridicule of the ad-
miral who was known as "Old grog"
from his custom of wearing grogram
breeChes.
O. Is the Latin cross as used by the
Roman Catholic and Protestant churches
the same as the Greek cross?
M. E. G.
A. There is slight difference be-
tween the Latin and Greek crosses. The
lower branch Of the Latin cross is con-
sderablys longer than the other three
while in the Greek cross all the
branches are of equal length. St.
Andrews cross consists of two shafts
of equal length. bisecting each other
diagonally in the form of the letter X.
Q. Can you suggest a good way in
which to mend broken china? NJ. T.
A. When china is broken do not put
it in water. Tie firmly together and
then put in basin, containing enough
skim milk to entirely cover the piece
of china, Set on the back Of the stove
and boil one hour. Let it stand in the
milk until cold, and it will never come
apart

STATE TAX LEVY
IN MISSISSIPPI
TOBE |NCREASED

JACKSON, Miss, Feb. 4. (Spl 1.-THE
house committee on ways and means
will not attempt to fix the state tax
levy for the ensuing biennial period un-
til all appropriation bills have been
cleared from the calendar.
ut is useless to discuss the levy I'M

needed" says Chairman A. II. Stone.
One thing is certain, however, we will
surely fix the levy at sufficient to meet
all state obligations. and make it Ger
tain that there will be no deficit at the
close of the biennial period"
The present state tax levy is five and
one-half mills. The total ad valorem

That an increased levy will be neces-

In both houses in view of the heavy

Attacked by VorWaertS in
Acknowledgment "Man
Who Ruined GERMANY"

BERLIN, Feb. 4.--Efforts to keep in
tact the fortune of former Emperor
William are condemned in long edi-
torial printed by the Vorwaerts this
afternoon. The newspaper says this
movement is in behalf of man who
ruined Germany"
Details of the measure are given by
the newspaper which says one para
graph of the bill declares the royal
house will give in the interest of the
general welfare" certain possessions,
such as real estate. works of art and
valuable articles, but provides the
former emperor must be paid 100, 0O0,-
600 marks in compensation,
Especially bitter Is the newspaper S
comment as 1t recounts the castles and
real estate the royal house does not
give to the state. 1t says the Hohen-
ZOllerns will retain SO villas and real
estate plots, houses in Berlin, Potsdam,
Kiel and Ploen and castles and forests
throughout the country. Added to these
estates the royal fortune comprises
properties in trust and strong box
funds.
This list. the newspaper asserts. to-
tails ITS, 900, 900 marks and includes good
industrial mortgages and obligations
and very few war bonds" Crown in
sigma which are not valuable" it is
declared, are given to the state, but the
jewels will remain the property of Count
Hohenzollern.
Paragraph two of the bill gives the
state certain private royal estate but"
says the article, they consist of a
half-dozen ruins. one having two rooms
and a kitchen and another a mere rum
down shooting lodge.
Paragraph seven says the royal the
aters in Berlin, Hanover, Cassel and
Wiesbaden will go to the state, includ-
ing all that belongs to them. Since
the crown cannot get rid of the the
aters the former supported, he gives
them to the state, which has the privi-
lege of laying out million marks for
their upkeep.
The next paragraph makes provision
for the retention for the sake of the
general public of buildings containing
works of arts, but throws all old court
employees. pensioners, widows and or
phans numbering 100000 on the state,
which is thus called upon for further
huge sums. Court ladies' slated for in

RAILROADS READY
TO ASK ADVANCES
Private Owners Will Make a
General Demand for 35 Per
Cent Higher Rates.

Shippers may expect request from
the railroads for an advance of IS per
cent in rates almost Immediately they
revert to their private owners, accord
ing to a bulletin issued to the MEM
bers of the Southern Hardwood Traffic
association by S. M. Mickey president.
This increase, If granted, the bulletin
says, would be so far reaching as to
touch every citizen in the country and
would entail an added burden annually
of $3.50 per capita. Nothing would more
quickly and certainly increase the cost
of all commodities and aggravte the
high cost of living situation, the bulle-
tin points out.
Increased cost of equipment and OPP
Grating expenses, such as wages, will
be urged by the railroads as the reason
for the advance in freight rates. In a
ing Of the Southern Hardwood Traffic
association, G. H. Markham, president
Of the Illinois Central Railroad company,
declared that the railroads would not
be able to finance the purchase of new
equipment, which they must have to
meet the demands upon them, unless
rate advances are permitted. He de-
clared that within the next few years
$780, 900 new freight cars were needed by
the railroads, as well as new tracks,
terminals and engines.
J. H Townshend, secretary manager
OF the traffic association, said That II
the railroads should be successful in
their demand for higher rates, the new
tariffs could hardly go into effect before
midsummer. The government has guar
anteed the standard returns under
which the carriers are now operating
for the first six months after their re-
turn to private ownership. Under that
agreement the roads will make the
profits guaranteed by the government
until neXt SeDtember
The demand for advances would have
to be fought out before the interstate
commerce commission and as they
would no doubt find much opposition
from shippers organizations, this would
take some time
