COUNTY AGENT NOTES

COUNTY AGENT NOTES
Let us now begin to talk and
work for our County Fair this fall.
We had a good fair last year, and
Pm sure that we can support
much better one this year. Now
we must have the entire support
and cooperation of the all inter-
est in the county to make a sue
cess of project like this, and
since the cause and work is both
instructive and profitable all
should gladly join hands and pull
for a good fair.
Last year the schools of the
county gave splendid support, and
| trust that we will get the same
results this year. 1t is my inten-
tion to get the plans on foot be-
fore leaving the work Sept, 1st.
All parties interested in a
County Fair are earnestly re-
quested to meet in my Office at
Brandon on Tuesday August 3rd.
l hope that every community in
the county will be represented
here that day, and will assure us
of their full cooperation. Don't
forget the date Tuesday August
3rd at ten o'clock.
l have visited most sections of
the county during the last five
days, and l believe that the cotton
crop is the best average that /
have seen since coming to- Rankin
county. The boil weevils are very
numerous in some sections, while
they are not giving much trouble
in some few communities.
When you have finished cult
waiting your crop, you will make
money by putting all your tools
under a shed or in a house where
they will be protected from the
weather. More damage is done
farm tools every year from wealth
er exposue and neglect than from
use in cultivating. Remember
that your implement:l will cost
lots more now than few years
ago, so it will pay you to take the
very best care of them.
Why not plant a fall patch of
Irish potatoes? You should be-
gin now to prepare your land for
planting. The potatoes should be
planted not later than August.
In order to get a good stand and
quick growth, you should sprout
your seed before planting. Spread
the potatoes in dark place and
place damp sack or sand over
them. Keep the cover damp un-
til the eyes begin to swell then
they are ready to plant.
Be sure to plant a couple of
rows of beams in the garden for
late eating.
The people of the Leesburg and
Pisgah communities have install
ed a telephone system in their re-
spective communities. This is
indeed a needed necessity, and
I'm certainly glad to see the peo-
pie of this section move along.
The people and farming lands of
this section are unexcelled and
with more modern conveniences
life will be as pleasant as any
place in the world.
Il will be out of the county
from July goth to August 1st at
tending the Annual Agents Meet
ing at Starkville.

the Hyperion is going to be most popular place with theatergoers for the rest of the season and especially so next week when sDaddies," the favor
 ite play of David Belasco, will be pre- sented. "Daddies" enoyed run of 400 nights in New York at the Lyceum theater and equal runs in London and Australia and its popularity came by reason of the fragrance of its romance
 the freshness of its humor and the humanity of its characters. The com edy Is distinctly humane one-with an English girl of 17 summers the cen tral figure of its exquisite story, but at the same time it is saturated with genuine and persistent fun. The story is of five college chums who band to- gether into a Bachelors club for their mutual protection against women until they are eajoled by the gentle mother of their most distinguished member to be- come ''dadies" to the stricken waifs of Belgium and France with subsequent developments which involve the bache
 lors in situations that are as humorous as they are unexpected. MT. Belasco

Death of Frank c. Scollins Mourned by Host of Friends
 in the Movement.

(by PATRICK r. O MEARAsJ
 On Saturday, November 18th, Frank C. Scollins of Danbury, vice-president of the Connecticut Federation of La bor, died at his home, 12 Comstock street from an illness that from the start was looked upon only lightly and which was of only one weeks duration
 Frank C. Scollins' taking away. from this life leaves a gap both III the 1n- dustrial and social life of the state, that will take great effort to span.
 During all of the long years that ne was connected with the industrial hfe of Connecticut he had spent at a great sacrifice. his time and money to further the great spirit of the Brotherhood of Man.
 AS a member of Organized Labor, those that had the extreme pleasure or knowing him, cannot but always re member him as most consistent Illaii in his effort to better the home ana the industry of the state.
 His courteous nature and ms fnaii- ner of approach has lett Denino standard that will stand out as per manent light in displaying that tor y,hich he stroye through life to do.
 Frank C. Scollins memory will wear through the many years to come as few others who have departed before l,;r will. due to his humble way oI doino things of charitable nature, ana large are the numbers ot peopie lllas have benefited by his ever ready dtlu ,,l welcome response to the numerous edls made upon him. c.4a

 Tn aIl of our thoughts we must nor forget that his taking away from tnis fife has not been the loss that 1t seems to he from an earthly angle.
 The Creator of Mankind has prom iced to all that loved and oDeyeo I1is teachings that they would live eteina ly. and this thought is a most lauaaoie one i'll the case ot Frank V oSoiiiiho departing from this lite. \ The officers and members of the Con necticut Federation of Labor feel ms taking away the most keenly of all, next to his immediate family, and the charter of the Federation has been draped in his memory. and when the executive council meets agaln the prop CT resolutions Ill respect to hlm VIII pc written into the history of the organ izaf10n.

HOW MILLIONS

Washington, Nov. 1o.-A suit to re cover $1 100000 paid in taxes to the government by the Labelle Iron Works Company shows the easy. manner Ill which money can be made" by large corporations.
 In 1904 the company bought ore lands for SloOOOO, and in eight years the value of the property increased to $io,- OOOOoO. The government insisted that fhis value is income" and taxes were levied on that basis. The company eanitai to the amount of the increased value of the land, and asks that $l,- 100000 collected by the government be returned.
 If the company is upheld it may issue stock is an amount covering the diHer- ence between $1o0,0 ,000-its original in- vestment-and vest, $1O,OOO,0OO, which rep resents the increased value of the lands.
 This means that the company will put a nrice on it's iron ore that will permit a afair return" on the lOOOO,OOO ot stock, although there is an investmnet of but $1o0000.
