TOO MUCH ROASTING.

Copiah county truckers are said
to be very much disgruntled over
the wide publicity which has been
given their achievements this year,
since the same have resulted, ap-
parently, in a prospective increase
in true kacreage.
During the last two months, a
number of delegations from other
communities have visited Crystal
Springs and Hazlehurst with a
view to acquiring first-hand infor.
nation as to methods Of cultiva.
ton and marketing of truck srops.
Some of these communities have
been so impressed with what theil
delegations reported, that truck
growers associations have been or.
gained, acreage for the coming
season pledged, and plans formu.
lated to go into the business on 9
large scale.
All this furnishes abundant rea-
son for the fear Copiah county
truckers are now entertaining that
so much truck is going to be pro-
duced next year that the market
prices will make the industry UNI
profitable.
All commodities are more OF
less influenced by the law Of sup
ply and demand, but none more SO
than fresh vegetables, commonly
called truck. Truck is perishable,
and it's shipment and sale must be
contaminated in the shortest pos
sible time. Modern methods Of re-
frigeration have made it feasible
to ship beans to Chicago and toma-
toes to New York, but it is essen
tial that they be gotten into the
hands of the retailer, and by him

dispensed to the consumer imme-

Thus, If the demand for beans
in Chicago is greater than the sup
ply, ii is easy to get rid Of them at
profitable prices. On the other
hand, if beans have fooled the mar
ket and dealers are stocked up,
the price dorps to proportionately
low levels, and sometimes there is
no demand at all.
Copiah truckers have had prof.
liable season this year for The
very obvious reason that they have

there was an enormous demand

ton to news about religious mat
tiers, and fair treatment by edi-
tors and others to religious sub
jects. They are not specialists in
this realm, and fresh reporter
is sometimes lost in a religious
gathering and gets his terms and
ideas mixed up. But there is a
growing sense that there is no
news in which a larger body Of
people are more deeply interested
than about religious work. The
daily paper is not to fight any
battle for us, not to furnish a
place for pugilistic encounters of
hostile ecclesiastics; but is ready
to give square deal to real news
about matters religious.
1t is with no purpose to discrim-
mate among papers where honor
is due to many, but we believe
our people are appreciative Of the
work done by certain papers in
this territory sufficiently to justi-
fy the naming of two which are
widely read in Mississippi. The
Clarion-Ledger is an outstanding
example of clean journalism. It
has always been since we have
known it, a spokesman for high
ideals, I'M civic righteousness and
is catered to by body of people
who believe in wholesome read
ing. It's owners are the two He'd
erman brothers, who are as clean
in private life and honorable in
public life as the good state Of
Mississippi produces. They have
a progressive policy for their pa
per and are never satisfied with
any past attainments, however
good. They are forward looking
men who mean to keep the paper
abreast ola any good move in the
state. The lon-time editor, Col.
Henry doesn't hesitate to speak
up for any good cause.
/ People may not only in this ter
ritory far and wide have noted
with approval the policy of the
Commercial Appeal of Memphis
to feature religious movements
in it's news columns and to discuss
editorially with sympathy and
ability questions touching upon
religion. These are matters about
which the people are universally
and deeply interested. The dis
cussion of them is timely and
helpful. There is hardly a week
passes that there is not in the
editorial relating to some matter
of religion or religious education
which sounds clear note and
, produces conviction. The editor
is without hesitation in speaking
his mind in a most sane and whole
some way. He hits the mark and
says the things that need to be
said.

The New York Herald says that
the Flanders poppy is a beautiful
flower, and beautiful sentiment
that war has woven around it. But
the unpoetic fact remains that it
is an agricultural pest. Poppies
grow in Flanders because the far
mers cannot gte rid of them. For
years they have been beyond con-
troll there. Massachusetts and
other states have forbidden the
planting of them.

RELIGION AND THE DAILY PA.
PER.

The Newton Record says: 1t is
not the mission of the Record to de-
fend other papers, for most of
them are able to take care of
themselves, but it is the mission
of all reliable papers to suppress
false statements, to see that the
public gets the truth and that the
minds of the people are not pois-
oned with prejudice. 1t seems to
be the policy of some politicians
to place in a false light as far
as in their power, various papers
which do not support them or en-
dorse their views. These politi-
clans seek to mislead the people
by trying to create the impression
that these papers are edited by
crooks and rascals and you per-
haps have heard two papers, re-
ferred to in the editorial from the
State Baptist Record given below,
in this manner. If these papers
were disreputable, do you believe
that the editor Of the State organ
of the Baptist denomination of
Mississippi would defend them
Even if there was any doubt about
the honesty of purpose of these
papers he could not afford to up
hold them. Here is what he says,
in last weeks issue of the State
Baptist Herald:
1t has been i'm my heart for
some time to say a word about
this subject, and now the "bur-
den" is on me. 1t is not an un-
common thing for Christians, in
Guiding preachers to speak slight
ingly of the daily paper on two
indictments; one, that there is
much dirty news in it, and that
religion and religious news does
not have fair show and a square
deal in the office of the ordinary
daily. There may be an occas-
ional paper about which these
things can be truthfully said but
let us thank the Lord that their
number is growing beautifully
less" Blu t certainly no such
blanket charge can be brought
about the dailies that come into
our homes. And man who
brings paper like those of the
baser sort into his home today
has only himself to blame, for
there are excellent papers, which
maintain high news value, and
at the same time high standard
of righteousness, and deal fairly
with religious matters.
With all our hearts we believe
in the daily paper as a necessity
for live man in living age and
a moving world. God is in the
world, and he is working every
day. His foot prints are I'M every
days paper. Does somebody say
the DEVILS trail is there too ?
Yes, but if we remember right
the Bible narrative hadn't pro-
ceeded very far till we come
across the serpent's train in Gene
sis. The average daily may give
undue prominence to the work of
Satan. 1t is very human. But
with all there is a wholesome re-
action in the daily against crime
and the records generally produce
a wholesome reaction in the read
err. To be sure there are papers
that especially feature nastiness
but they are rather the exception.
The average secular editor has
got religions and it generally will
show up in his paper.
But what we have in mind spec
tally was to commend what seems
to us In every way wise policy
of the daily paper to give proper
tionate space and favorable posi-
