new ADDITION TO STAFF
HORTICULTURAL DEPT.

The latest addition to the exten-
sion forces of the state is Mr.. w. P.
James, who succeeds F. B. Richard
son as extension horticulturist; Mr..
Richardson having been transferred
to the South Mississippi branch ex-
pertinent station at Poplarville.
Mr.. James comes to Mississippi
from Chicago, where he was for
some time connected with the fruit
and vegetable inspection work for
the United States bureau of Mar
kets. Prior to the big war he was
in instructor in pomology at the I'm
iversity of Illinois, and also served
for some time with the Lincoln Or
chard Company at Chicago
Mr.. James reached this college
and entered upon his. duties just in
time to attend the convention of the
State Horticultural Society at Gulf
port; fortunate circumstance both
for himself and for that organiza-
tion, with it's program for economics
and uplift and more extended devel-
opment of the fruit and general
trucking industry in the state.

FINANCIAL LEADERS OF SOUTH
SEE MANY HELPFUL SIGNS

In Florida, where they have a sue
cession of cash crops of fruits and
vegetables, reinforced by the phos-
phate industry, the problem of fl
nancing the cotton crop is hardly
felt, and as prices of vegetables and
fruits have been good, the State is
in a comparatively comfortable FL
nancial condition.
Without exception the writer's of
these letters express a feeling of
confidence and hopefulness. With
clear view of the situation, facing
its difficulties frankly, they manifest
calmness, courage and strength with
a cheerful confidence in the ability
of the people to meet and solve their
problems.
Several of them emphasize the
fact that with larger resources and
greater reserve power the South,
like the rest of the country, is great
ly strengthened by the Federal Re-
serve System, which enables sound
business to pass safely through a
trying period, under our former in
elastic financial system, might have
resulted in disaster.
1t is noteworthy fact that Mr..
Mason Smith of New Orleans, one
of the largest cotton men in the
South, who has to deal with the f.
nancial problems of that crop, takes
hopeful view of the situation. 1t
is also worthy of note that several
OF our leading financiers express the
opinion that the period of deflation
is nearing its. end, and one of the
most eminent Of them, DIR. P. H.
Saunders, leading financier of
New Orleans, predicts that this pro-
cess will be practically completed in
the South by Mar. l, and that there
'after we will be ready to start out
successfully on solid ground.
Taken as whole these letters
show that the business leaders of
the South are meeting the difficult
ties of the readjustment period in
the same splendid spirit which char
acterized all our people during the
war. They are ready for the sacri-
fices or temporary inconvenience
which the situation brings upon us
and show the kind of cheerful and
clear-headed courage, which always
wins. With these qualities they man
ifest fine spirit of cooperation
and willingness to "help the other
fellow" provided the other fellow
will help himself.

DIRECTOR WILSON
TAKES VACATION

R. s. Wilson, director of extension
who has been under quite a strain
for IL months past, imposed by his
manifold duties and responsibilities
left on Thursday to take a needed
vacation. Mr.. Wilson decided to
cut himself adrift altogether from
affairs pertaining to his desk, leav-
ing no forwarding address. Mean
while j. w. Willis, state agent and
assistant director, will be in charge
of the extension work in all depart
ments and divisions, and as he is in
thorough touch with every feature
of the demonstration and expert
mental work, everything will move
forward like clock work.

NO GOOD.

Talking hard times has done more
to bring ruin to many community
than anything that was ever start
ed against it. People innocently
talk hard times, tight money, etc.,
when really things are not that way.
Of course we all know that times are
not just right, but we must have ex-
pected this, and talking it will do no
good, but much harm. 1t is time that
something was started to begin to
put the country back on normal
basis, and this is just what is hap
pening now. When you hear fell
low talking hard times, ,slow COM
munity business, pat him on the back
with good hard slap, and tell him
to come out of it, that the worst is
over, and to cheer up, for better
times are surely coming.-Lexing-
ton Advertiser.

ARGENTINE ANTS CARRIED
IN LOADS OF WOOD

mologist, wants the names and the
street addresses of all persons who
received slabs from Mr.. Arnold's
mill (located near the M. & o. frt.
depot on or before Nov l, 1920.
Some of the slabs cut from logs that
had balm near the mill for some time
were infested with Argentine ants.
Two new infestations from this
source have already been found and
it is desirable that other investigga-
tions be made. The logs that are
being cut now are not infested.

Letters of Great Significance r
ceived by Governor Wellborn.

Financial leaders of the South do
not look upon the present period of
deflation and readjustment as a ma
tional disaster. On the contrary,
they. consider it an inevitable pro-
cess, which is the necessary prepara-
tion for sound growth and prosper
ity. They do not expect a prolonged
depression and some of them pre-
dict, quite freely, a turn for the bet
ter with the beginning of the Spring
season.
A number of men, eminent in bu-
siness and finance have expressed
such views in letters to Governor M.
B. Wellborn of the Federal Reserve
Bank, written in reply to the follow
ing letter from him:
Governor Wellborn's Letter.
My Dear Sir: .....
'In period Of readjustment,
which is always accompanied by in
convenience, strain and some losses,
it is great help to the people if they
are animated by courageous, cheer
full and patient spirit, with a DISPOSE
tion toward mutual helpfulness and
cooperation. In such crisis it is to
them what morale is to the soldier
and brings the same splendid results.
"The superb spirit which animated
our people during the war, nerved our
soldiers for every conflict and made
them cheerful under hardship and suf-
fering will bring us safely and trium-
phantly through these trying times.
''In order to cultivate such a spirit
/ would like to send out broadcast
over the district some brief but strong
statements by leading men whom the
people will hear ond follow: Let us
crystallize public sentiment that will
meet the emergency in manner cred
table to the South and the nation.
Our section has been very prosperous
for the past few years, and surely it
is in good condition to meet the pre-
sent time.
'To this end l will be pleased to
hear from you at your earliest con-
venience expressing your views on the
situation and the best way to meet it. ="
Tenor of the Replies.

PEP MEETING
Of CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE

A pep" meeting was what the
regular monthly session of the
Chamber of Commerce developed
into last Friday night.
There were only about 35 of the
faithful who came out, but it was
an enthusiastic bunch of fellows,
and each one went home glad that
he was at the meeting.
After routine business was trans
acted the pep" meeting began. 1t
was rather unexpected, too, but it
met ready response from those
present.
Mr.. Frank Wier started the ball
rolling when he took the floor to
discuss the advisability of the Cham
Der of Commerce keeping the NOV
ing picture show going. This fea-
.drc had Teen discontinued Tor lack
of funds 20 buy machine. Mr..
W'cr told of the many advantages
CT this oduca, cral feature and ad-
vlsed buying the machine even is it
had to be nt"pht with volunca.y
su "iiptions.
The machine that had been used
for the few shows that were put on
was borrowed one, and the light
and power had been furnished free
of charge by the Starkville Supply
Co., who had loaned and operated
Delco light plant for the purpose.
Mr.. Wier stated that this company
will still continue to furnish the
light and power free if the Chamber
of Commerce would furnish the ma
chine.
Prof. J. r. Kicks followed with a
talk brimful of pep" He said he
had just returned from a meeting in
Memphis which was attended by re-
presentatives from Tennessee, Ark
ansas, Mississippi and other states.
He said from the reports made the
situation in other states are worse
than they are here. The people of

1t Might Be Worse

(By Ben f. Rogers.)
When the day is dark and gloomy
And you feel like giving up the
fight,
Think OF the man who was swallow
ed by the whale
He came out all right.
Ii your efforts seem almost fruitless
And you feel that you cannot win,
Don't give up and say, what's the
Because to fail is no sin.
Call to mind the trials of Jacob
Who was deceived by his mothers
fathers son;
Stand by your drums with resolute
will,
And the battle is sure to be won.
If you're forced to feast on cold
shoulder,
Don't let signs of indigestion crop
out
But show that you're not weakling
And eat as if it were lake trout.
Remember our soldiers in Cuba,
During the war with Spain
Think of the number who ate can
ned beef
And of the few who now remain.
The man who lost his right eye, sir,
Was thankful the other was left,
Then why shouldn't we be thankful
For that which we're not bereft.
It's pretty good bit of philosophy
To take along with you to your
hearse,
That nothing is ever so bad
But what it might have been
worse.
