FORTY CLUB WINNERS

The crack 9th St, Y. NJ. c. A. team
Of Cincinnati, O.. which has easily de
ieated all of its former opponents this
season. were easy victims OF the Forty
Club heavyWeights at the 9Th Reg.
Armory, Friday night. The score was
27-22 Hundreds of admirers OF the
indoor sport were on hand early to
await the contest. Dir. Al Johnson,
manager of the Forty Club team, for
some reason, staged a game in tour
namcnt on the northwest side. Thus
it was after II O'Clock before the big
game began. There were many com
ments by men OF note who have been
consistent supporters OF this sport, to
the effect that the patrons were done
a grave injustice by the management
OF the Forty Club team, and that it
would initiate against them i'll future
contests.
Both teams showed excellent form.

Proof Conclusive That AdVer-
Using Does Pay

The Avery people conducted a
campaign during the year 1920
among dealers who handled their
products to ascertain the ratio of
those who advertised and those who
did not. The object was to deter
mine whether or not advertising
pays. The result of the test show
ed that 80 dealers who did not adj
vertise totaled $50. 227 of sales.
while 224 advertising dealers ag-
gregated sales amounting to 81
324 1859.
The average sales per dealer of the
advertising group was thus shown
to be $5.429. while that of the deal
er who did not advertise amounted
to only $848. In other words. in
terms of averages. the adver-
Using dealer. in the above test, sold
six and one-half times as many
goods as his less enterprising
neighbor.
There are men in every town who
do not believe that advertising pays.
We commend the actual test made
by the Avery people to their care

Encouraging to DurOc Hog
Breeders.

Monroe county has number of
breeders of the Duroc Jersey hog.
and Aberdeen is the headquarters OF
the Mississippi Breeders Associa-
ton, a state wide organization of
breeders of blOoded stock. The
following news item from Charles
ton, Miss, will prove encouraging
to these gentlemen and especially
to those who are engaged in the
breeding of Duroc Jersey hogs:
Pine Crest Farm. the world re-
nowned Duroc hog farm. has been
busy this week getting off the ship
ment of carload of fancy gifts bred
to Scissors" h e international
champion Duroc boar. which heads
the Pine Crest herds, and which
were sold by the farm to the Chinese
ambassador at Washington City.
The sows are being shipped to Cur
less Neck Farm, near Richmond.

This is perhaps the largest shipment
for foreign use yet made by Pine

are not unusual, fancy bred gifts

countries in South America, Europe

Almost Always Get Out of
the Way

The election of Miss V. Jose
phine Fits as County Superintend-
ent of Education over four male
opponents in an election held in
Adams county last Saturday, marks
new era in politics and office
holding in Mississippi. Miss Fits
is the first woman ever elected to a
public office by popular vote in this
state. and lacked only fifty-nine of
receiving as many votes as the
whole push of men candidates op-
posing her.
The professional male officeseek-
ers have their ears 10 the ground
and are quakinf their boots lest
women candid should offer for
every office in tffe state in the cleo
tons of 1923. If they do, and
sensible men everywhere believe
they will, Mississippi is likely to
have a petticoat government for
the ensuing four years. if not for
eyer afterward When woman
goes after a thing she generally
gets if. and prudent men almost al
ways get out of the way.

WOman's Vote May Save
Country

The trend of popular opinion
throughout the state as evidenced
in recent municipal and county
elections in the matter of issuing
bonds for public improvements is
being decidedly registered against
the piling up of public indebted
ness. The one exception to this
attitude, possibly. is the issuance of
bonds for good road construction.
The future looks 40 unpropitious in
view of the national war debt and
state burden of taxation that the
people are 10th to assume addition
al financial responsibility. The
women, too, are taking a hand in
public affairs. Women are consti-
tutional economists and dislike
taxation unless it can be shown
the tax is imposed for high and
worthy purpose. While many
deprecate the entrance of the fair
sex into political affairs. who knows
but that the woman's vote may
save the country from economic
and moral bankruptcy.

A Penny For Development.

TEACHERS NORMAL WILL
Be HELD IN ABERDEEN
Begins July 18th and Continues
For Five Weeks

The teachers of North East Mis-
sissippi want to be guests of Aber-
deem during the period of five weeks
normal to be held in this section of
the state during the month of July.
Indeed. it has already been decided
to hold normal in our town If suit
able arrangements can be made for
entertaining the teachers at mod
crate charge.
Supt. Howell met with the coun-
ty superintendent of six or more
counties adjacent to Monroe. and it
was decided to hold the normal in
this city to begin July 18th and
continue for FIVE weeks.
The Chamber of Commerce at
its Meeting. Tuesday night. pledged
itself to welcome this intellectual
gathering to our city and perfect
whatever arrangements may be nee
essary for its entertainment.
Anywhere from $50 to 200 teach
ers will be in attendance, and it is
matter of pride to the homes of
the city that they throw open their
doors and entertain these teachers
at a nominal charge. Indeed, it is
up to every home in and adjacent
to the city. that can do so. 10 ar
range and take one or more of these
teachers.
G. NJ. Homes, President of the
Chamber of Commerce, will an
nounce his committees to look after
providing homes for the teachers
who may attend. and other features
looking to their entertainment. 1t
is hoped that no citizen will do
other than cooperate with Mr..
Holmes to the end that the Aber-
deem Normal will be the most sue
cessful one held in the state.

sent a cocklebur plant with matured
burr attached to the Commercial
Appeal the other day. and made
the following comment: We
have some settlers here more than
80 years old who have never seen
such a thing before. According to
an old theory cockleburs in the
spring means frost In July. "
Since cockleburs in May is unpre-
cedented in the recollection of &C.

there can be no basis for our Ecru
