COUNTY AGENT NOTES

AN parties having hogs to ship
from Pelahatchie or Brandon this
month who have not already list
ed them with me, please do so
right away.
MY program for the year, 1920
will be: Working for standard
varieties of cotton and corn for
Rankin County, more pure bred
sires among our live stock,
methods and means of improving
our soil and better organization
of our farmers for promotion of
all improvement work. l am es-
pecially interested in our farmers
growing a standard variety of
cotton, and also Of corn. We lose
thousands of dollors every sea-
son by growing short and inferi-
or varieties Of cotton. If we
would standardize on some cot
ton that would pull something
like an inch we could then afford
to sell by grades and then the
cotton would bring its individual
value. If we ever hope to get the
most out of our cotton farming,
we must consider this particular
point. Some varieties Of cotton
are, Wanamaker- Cleveland, Elk
presh, Miller's. Some good vari-
cites of corn are, Hastings Pro
life, and Jones' Prolific.
l am sure that the farmers and
general public who are interested
in the County Agent work will
join me in expressing our thanks
and appreciation to Mr.. May fol-
the open use Of these columns.
There is no way of estimating the
value of the cooperation of the
press in this work and / am in
deed grateful to Mr.. May for his
kindness and spirit with regard
to the Farmers Extention Work
At the Annual Agents Meeting in
Hattiesburg last week it was the
unanimous voice that the editors
and newspaper reporters Of the
state are due lots of credit for
the wonderful advancement made
four years.
Following are six things that
every farmer in Rankin County
should see accomplished:
First, We should sustain the
production of corn for human
food and for feed for our live
stock.
Second, We should produce The
hay an dforage crops necessary
to amply supply the live stock or
the farm for one year and an ex
cess for the sake of safety anl
for city and town consumption.
Third, We should have an in

NO LIABILITY
 FOR BOYS DEATH

The death of seven year old Roder- ick Perry Curtis of Fairfield, which occurred April 25, from injuries he received from an express train on the New Haven railroad near Southport the day before, was not caused by the criminal act or omission of any other person, according to the finding of Coroner John G. Phelan today.
 The Curtis boy was playing with other youngsters under the bridge and just before the train came along went upon the tracks. All of the other children left the track before the train came along but he stayed and was knocked between the ties of the bridge by the engine. The engineer testified that the train was going at the rate of 50 miles an hour and when the engine was only five car lengths away the deceased stepped on the tracks and it was impossible to avoid hitting hiIn

EVERY DAY TO
 BE ''TAC DAY''
Tags Will Be F or Violation of Main Street Parking
 Ordinance.

Beginning Monday every day will be tag day. for motorists who park their cars in Main street between East Washington and South avenues, and in Fairfield avenue between the railroad station and Courtland street.
 These tag days will differ from the regulation ''tag day. however, in that the tagging will be done by police officers instead of fair young damsels, and the tags will bear a summons to appear in court for vio- Iation of city ordinance, rather than a request for money for some worthy cause
 The new ordanince recently adopt ed by the Common Council provides that no cars shall be parked within the areas stated above, between the hours of a. m. and 10 D. m. This does not apply however to machines from which merchandise is being un- loaded or loaded. These cars may stand at the curb for a period ot five minutes. City vehicles are also excepted. The penalty for violating this ordnance is a fine of not more than $50.

DRIVE ON PUNCH BOARD GAMBLING Orders Issued to Arrest Those Found Owning
 Device.

The well known punch-board, on which many persons have squandered money just for the sake of taking chance, is going to be driven to cover in Bridgeport. A campaign against this form of gambling was started by the police yesterday, and James Musco of 1889 Seaview avenue, and Arthur Negosin of .1162 Barnum ave- nu, both storekeepers, wre arrested on a. charge of having a punch-board in their stores.
 Musco explained in the city court this morning, that he knew nothing of the law against such contrivances. and everybody received something for their money on his particular board. The grand prize was a two pound box of candy awarded to the person who got the lucky number. Non-winners were presented free of charge, with one stick of high grade chewing gum. Negosin told practically the same story.
 Judge Frank L. Wilder refused to accept these excuses and fined Nego- sin $25 and costs and Musco SIS and costs. All patroImen have been or. dered to arrest anyone who has a punch-board in his possession.

AND FE:DERALS
 IN CLASH
Gen. Murguia Sent to Pueblo To Attack
 Gonzales.

Washington, May 7-Gen- eral Murguia has been sent in to the, state of Puebla to attack the forces of General Pablo Gonzales, and an engagement already has occurred between the vanguard of the Carran- zista troops and the rebels at Otumba, between Mexico City and the city of Puebla.
 Authoritative advices reaching Washington today said Gonzales had declared that he was not in league with the Obregonistas and would re- sist them by force of arms. This was regarded as complicating the situa- tion in Mexico. Gonzales has declared martial law in Puebla City, according to these advices, and has eNa.cted a loan of 200, 900 pesos from the popula- ton.
 Passenger traffic between Mexico City and Guadalajara has been sus- pended. A passenger train on this line %-as attacked by rebels at Pen jarno on May 5, and robbed of a con- siderable sum of government funds intended to be used in paying, the sol diers at Guadalajara, where, at last advices, General Dieguez had 5000 men in his command.
 Increased rebel activities is report ed in the vicinity of Vera Cruz, where President Carranza's son-in-law, Gen. ral Candido Aguilar, is in command of the federal troops.

This action is taken upon the authority of a telegram from Will liam H Johnston, President of tbe International Machinists Associa ton.

STRIKE CAUSES TROUBLE Manufacturers Laying Of Men-Lack of Raw
 Materials.

 The Warner Bros Co.. when ques- tioned admitted a, shortage of raw materials but say that they are not laying off any of the men.
 The Bryant Electric does not seem to be as badly off as most of the factories. They are doing all Of their shipping and receiving by truck and express although they are moi sending much material farther than Boston.

INDUSTRY BROTHERS
 CAUSED HIGH PRICES

Washington, May "A study of profiteering in American industry, made under the auspices of the rail road brotherhoods, was presented to the railroad labor board today in sup port of the railroad workers demands for higher pay and to refute the charge that increased labor costs are responsible for the high cost of 1iv- ing.
 Prepared by W. J. Lauck, former secretary of the war labor board, the study seeks to show that predteering in industry is the fundamental cause for high prices in practically all com modities. It gives many statistics to support that contention.
 Calling9attention to the many war made mi1lionaires, the study contends that a threefold relationship exists between high prices, profiteering and the addition to the quota of ndl- lionaires,'' and that the increase in the wealth of the wealthy is an 'unanswerabIe refutatfon'' to all at tenpts to charge labor with prof iteering, and to all attempts to hold labor responsible for the high cos of living.

GREAT BRITAIN 10
 OPEN NEGOTIATIONS
 WITH SOVIET RUSSIA
Earl CurZOn Proposes Direct Conversations With Commander of Russian Volunteer Ar my-S Seek to Check BOlshevik Advance In- to the Crimea.

London, May 7-Great Bri- tain is on the eve of negotia- tions with Soviet Russia, a Moscow wireless message to- day asserts.
 Eafl CIrzon, the British foreign 7, Secretary, the message says, has for warded to M. Tchitcherin ,the Soviet commissary for foreign affairs, a dec laration in which direct conversati ons with General Wrangel, commander of the remnant of the Russian volunteer army, are proposed. These conversa- tions, it is declared are desired by Great Britain tn order that definite negotiations may be begun concern ing the cessa ton of the Bolshe eviki advance into the Crimea, and British officers would participate in these negotiations.
 M. Tchitcherin, the message contin- ues, replied to the British commit 1iication with the statement that the Soviet government was prepared to meet the desire expressed in that corrrr1unic cation and enter into nego- tia tions with the British government or any one that governmen might indicate, concerning the question Of hostiIfties in the Crinean sector, and that the Soviet was prepared to admit General Wrangel as well as British officers, to these negotiations.
 Regarding the Caucasus front the message states that hosti1ities have ceased and that the Soviet has ap- piled to the governments of the var ious states, offering to begin peace negotiations immediately. The Soviet promises to take British government interests in the Caucasus into con- sideration.
 NJ Tchitcherin in his reply, it IS added, expresses his firm assurance that the agreement to begin peace negotiations will serve as a prelini- nary step and that a general agree 1nent between Great Britain and Rus Sia will be the final outcome.

The officer gave chase and Duiand ran from John to Bank and to Water street, up Union Square to Main street again and up Main street to the corner of Main and State streets where Traffic Officer Hafpin stepped in front of the man to stop him.

BELIEVE WHISKEY WAS
 STOLEN FROM TRUCK

Police and Federal authorities to- day started an investigation to deter mine whether three barrels of alco- ho1 which were brought into Bridge port Wednesday night, by Abraham Rosenberg and Eugin Katz. of New York City, are a part of the liquor which was stolen from a stalled auto- mobile truck in Darien, number ot months ago. The possibility that the alcohol may be portion of the stuff taken from the truck is emphasized by the fact that the two men have failed to disclose the name of the cured the liquor.
 The name of the person to whom Rosenberg and Katz delivered two barrels of alcohol, Wednesday night is still unknown to the police. The single barrel of acolhol which the men had on their truck at the time Of the arrest, has been conffscated by federal auth critics and will probably be destroyed. The liquor is valued al $1,590.
 Liquor Prosecutor Albert J. Merritt brought charges of "unlawfu1ly keep ing intoxicating liquors for sale against Katz and Rosenberg in the city court this morning. and the of lenders were fined $50 and costs apiece. The state entered a charge of bribery against the men, and they were bound over to the Superior Court under $500 bonds for this of fense. It is alleged that the pair of fered Officer Hoffman $20 to let them escape. In addition to the state charge, Katz and Rosenberg have ye to- face the federal authorities for vio- lat1ng the prohibition amendment.
