THE SAW MILLS AND THE
PUBLIC ROADS
The Brandon News,

The Brandon News,
Gentlemen:
1t has been in my mind for some
weeks. to have something to say of
the destruction that is being
wrought on our public roads by
kthe saw mill industry in our coun-
ty-and for that matter suppose
ain every county in the State.
do wish my friends who ope-
rate these mills about in our beat
to think that have anything per-
sonal against them, as they are all
my friends as far as | am acqualn-
ted with them, but want to treat
of the matter in general way SO
as to try to define the rights OF
the public along the same line.
The saw mill is a private enter
prise, not run for the good of the
public, but for the private gain.
The public roads are built and
maintained by public taxes and
were constructed for the general

AGRICULTURAL NOTES

The Farmers Institute to be
heldat Johns this week had to be
called off ON account of influenza
We will now begin to plan for q
summer school to be held at the
Agricultural High School during
the summer months. This school
will last week or perhaps longer,
and course will be added for the
Club Boys.
The hog market is in bad
shape again, being about ! cent
under the average for the past
three weeks.
want to urge that the practice
of marking the ears Of hogs be dis
continued as nearly as possible
when the hogs are in
tended for market. This has Civ
en- us considerable trouble in mar
keting our hogs this year and is
getting worse all the time. It is
next toimpossible to get buyer
to bid on hogs in st. Louis when
they have their ears marked. The
buyers infer from these marks
that the hogs are mass fed or
wood hogs and will kin soft, and
unless you guarantee them to kill
hard they will mot buy them At
anything like = fair price. We
shipped q load from Pelahatchie
last week, and the best hogs have
been held over three days because
the buyers are afraid Of them as
most Of them have ear marks. If
you have ho1s that you intend
1narketine, Il is better to not mark
their ear ii any way, and by all
means set sway from the long
nose wood ho9s.
Now Is the time 10 plant of

shown, the perfect idea of infinite
Mind, and has only divine volition.
He has therefore no ability to choose
to do evil or to be sick, nor can he
ever become separated from the Mind
which contains him. Man, then Gods
idea, Gods image and likeness, has
all the qualities of God, and not a
single quality that is not of Him. He
is therefore, healthful and holy; per-
feet, spiritual and Immortal.
Unhealthy of Matter
Because it is true that man is the
idea of infinite Mind he cannot be
material, and this material body will
have to be accounted for in some
other way. Matter seems very real
to the human mind, yet the deepest
material thinkers maintain that mat
ter has no existence in and of itself.
They say that it is simply manifes-
tation Of law. They see and admit
that matter is simply manifestation
of material thought, but they 60 on
with line of thought which main
tains that these material laws pro-
coed from the infinite Being.
Now Christian Science agrees with
them in admitting that matter is sim
ply an expression Of thought but de-
MES absolutely that this thought is
of God. On the contrary it maintains
that the material man and the mater
ial universe are expressions of be-
liefs that are counterfeits of the true
ideas. The material man manifests
sin, sickness and materiality, which
are the direct opposites of those quail
tiles Of health, holiness and spiritu-
ality which the real and spiritual man
must inevitably manifest as the image
and likeness of God.
1t is not maintained that we have
been able fully to demonstrate that
matter is unreal, but thousands have
been able to annul what are thought
to be unchanging material laws
through the recognition of the law of
Spirit.
1t is inevitable that just so long as
the world builds up it's belief in dis
ease that disease will be manifested.
It may delude itself into thinking it
is making progress by apparently
checking some one disease, but the to-
tai manifestation is not lessened in
the least.
Christian Science Heals
The only way to be rid of disease
is to stop it at its source. The be-
liefs from which it proceeded must be
replaced by spiritual understanding.
The reasoning of Christian Science
brings divine Love close to human ex-
perience. The recognition that God is
Mind and that man is His perfect idea
is the basis for Christian Science
healing. When we measure our
thoughts by this divine standard and
undertake as far as possible to en-
terrain only that thought which we
know to be of God, the thought which
has made US sick or unhappy is elm
mated.
Each inharmonious condition which
is overcome through spiritual under
standing increases ones consciousness
of joy and harmony. Every effort to-
wards spirituality and away from that
which is material brings a rich re-
ward. HE that overcometh shall in

LECTURE ON
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
BY DR.. Walton Hubbard, G. s. b.,
Member Of the Board of Lectureship
of The Mother Church, The First
Church Of Christ, Scientist, in Bos-
ton, Mass.


The explanation of Gods law, and
it's availability to all mankind was
taught and demonstrated by Jesus,
the Christ, but for many centuries it
has been maintained that the major
portion of the reward for Christian
living is to come at some future time.
Christian Science furnishes the rule
by which the power that Jesus used
in accomplishing his wondrous works
is made Immediately available, and
because its benefcent power can make
over and bless every phase of our
material existence it is the most i'm
portant subject that can come to our
consideration. The wisdom of this
world has failed not only to heal frons
discord and sin but to heal from dis
ease. And it will continue to fail in
it's treatment of disease until it is
recognized that sickness is sick
thought expressed on the body, and
that sick thought is cast out through
spiritual understanding,

BASEBALL FATALITIES.

The baseball fatality in which Rays
mond Chapman of the Cleveland
American league team was struck in
the head by ball thrown by Pitcher
Mays of the New York American
team, receiving such an injury that an
operation proved of 70 avail, is one
of those rare instances in the game of
baseball wherein life is really endan.
gered Every player who has stood at
the plate and faced the swiftly hurled
ball traversing the short distance from
the pitchers box has recognized the
possibility of injury should the ball
strike him in the head but at the Same
time has had confidence in his agility
to dodge the missile And most often
the players do dodge the ball when it
comes directly at the head for that
part of the body seems to be more
mobile and quicker to move. Yet the
quick break in the curved ball is some
times SO deceptive as to cause the | a.
ter to misjudge the direction of the
ball and thus to fail to get ont of the
way Those instances, however, are
rare in which the player does not re-
move the head quickly enough to avoid
being hit. So baseball, even in the |
batter's position, is not so dangerous
as it might seem; and it should not
be condemned for that reason. The oc-
in which skillful and popu-
lar player lost his life is most regret
table and causes feeling of gloom to
come over the baseball world, but the
ease is recognized as one of the acct
dents of the game rather than one of
the regular happenings.

II is not necessary to use a painful
process to remove hairy growths, for
with little delatone handy you can
keep the skin entirely free from these
beauty destroyers. To remove hair,
make a stiff paste with a little pow.

on the hairy surface and in about two
minutes rub of, wash the skin and the
hairs are gone. To guard against dis.
