Kinds County Board Busy.

The Kinds County Board of Su-
pervisors today awarded contract to
]. N. covington to place new floor
ing on the Pearl river bridge at this
point. The bid of Mr.. Covington was
$347.50, the county to furnish all
materials. The bridge will be floor
ed with red gum, said to be more
durable than oak. and the lumber
will cost about $4,000. 1t is esti-
mated that 1000 feet will be need
ed.
Contract was let to G. N. and F.

class roads and s13S per mile fol
second class roads.
At its. meeting this afternoon the
supervisors will award county de.
pository contracts. No change In

Children Given Settings of Eggs
Must Return Chicks.

Columbus, Miss, Jan. S.-What is
probably the most extensive poultry
campaign ever Launched in Missis-
sippi, if not in the South, was set
in motion in Lowndes county the
past week under the auspices of the
chamber of commerce.
The plan contemplates that 500
settings of eggs will be placed in the
hands of the children of the county
within the next few weeks and in re-
turn for these eggs the children will
turn back to the agricultural depart
ment of the chamber of commerce
either three chickens or the equiva-
lent in cash.
These returned chickens will in
turn be placed in the bands of 9TH
er children, or maybe in the hands
of adults, for breeding purposes. The
plan is a revolving one and within
five years it is expected, provided ev,
erything works out satisfactorily
that Lowndes County will be the best
and most extensively stocked county
of fine breed chickens in the south
and it is estimated that the revenue
from the industry in time will ap
proximate close to half million dol
lars.
The placing of 500 settings of egg
in the county for breeding purposes
means that 1900 eggs will be hatch
ed this spring, and it is reasonable
to suppose that large proportion
of these eggs will produce goot
chickens.
The campaign is being conducted
under the direction of Philip H. Hay
of the extension department of tn,
A. & M. College. and he is working
in conjunction with p. H. Wells
county agent Of Lowndes county.
is with the school children of tn,

HENS WORK OVERTIME.
Ben Penn Achieves Success on Chick
en- Farm-Eggs Aided By
Electric Lights.

Penn's Ancona Farm has installed
the electric light system to increase
egg production, from which he re-
ports very satisfactory results, as O.
lectric lighting has proven to be OF
such Importance to the egg indus
try. His birds are gotten UP each
morning at 4:30 by a clock which
turns on his lights in the scratch
pen. He places his feed at night in
the litter, so when they get up the
feed will be before them. He keeps
plenty of fresh water and mash be-
fore then at all times, as this is very
important, not only does the hen her
self have to have liberal supply OF
water for body maintenance, but the
egg we are asking her to produce in
profitable numbers during the winter
season is made up of about 80 pei
cent water. Therefore it is plain e.
nough that the hens should have
plenty of fresh water and feed al
all times. Mr.. Penn is now burning
three lights at cost of four cents
per day; so you can see the expense
is very small. The increase of one
egg per day will pay expenses and
it has been proven that it takes
twelve or fourteen hours per day to
produce an egg. Most every morn
ing at $3.50 when he gives them their
second breakfast be finds several eggs
laid and the entire flock busy
scratching and singing their morn
ing song.
Mr.. Penn is expecting to get an
average of 10 dozen eggs per day
within the next thirty days.
Now this may sound like joke
or fairy tale, but it is a demon
strated scientific proposition.
A hen needs twelve to fifteen
hours exercise out of each twenty
four to mature eggs, and chickens
don't leave their roosts until day
light and return to their roosts be-
fore dark, so in the short days OF
winter they fail to secure the ne
cessary exercise to produce eggs reg
ularly.
Mr.. Penn's Ancona farm is Just a
side line with him and his work with
his chickens and electric lighting
system is before breakfast and after
supper -Greenville Democrat.

POLITICAL PULL IS TO
BE USED FOR WATTS
Noted Murderer May Not Have
His Neck Broken on Feb
ruary 18th.

That Jesse Watts, the condemned
murderer of DR.. D. S. Alyerson, will
not be hanged on February IL, the
date fixed by the Supreme Court is
the opinion being freely expressed
here.
And in some quarters it is being
predicted that Watts will not hang
at all; that he will get commuta-
.tion to life Imprisonment in the
penitentiary which, in this state or
dinarily means confinement from
5 to 10 years, when release comes
through the pardon route.
Political pull is expected to save
the neck of the noted murderer.
Judge Pat Henry, attorney for
Watts, stands close to the state ad-
ministration, and it is expected that
Immediately after the Supreme
Court overrules his suggestion of
error, which is regarded as inevita-
BILE in view of the very positive tenor
of the opinion rendered recently,
Judge Henry will apply to Governor
Russell for a suspension of sentence
until he can get the case before the
State Board of Pardons in the form
of an application for cummutation.

INDEPENDENCE AND THE HOME
INSTINCT

To accept the dictum of the Chi
cago business man that the best way
to restrain stenographer and pre-
vent her from marrying is to pro-
mote her, would be to set, at naught
both the maternal instinct and the
compelling force of feminine incli-
nation towards home making. And
even in this day of sexual equality
and independence, we believe, the
assertion of such a possibility does
grave wrong to the female of the
species. 1t would convict her of
having surrendered the higher hopes
of womanhood to merely mercenary
considerations.
Unquestionably are there those in
both sexes. who consider their own
selfish benefit as being paramount to
the interests of the nation or even
the preservation of human society.
But fortunately they are in a small
minority and always will be in a
small minority. If it were true that
equal opportunity for women in the
affairs Of the world had to be pur-
chased at the price of a declining
family life then indeed would it be a
losing investment for all concerned.
1t is nothing short of an insult to
the mothers who have been and who
are to assert that all women look
upon the sacred institution of matri-
mony with its implied home making
as being nothing more than a matter
of convenience to themselves. 1t is
true that too many young men and
young women rush into marriage
blindly and are left in their leisure
to repent their haste. We shall not
deny that the estate of matrimony
could be improved if the participants
gave as free rein to their brains as
they do to their hearts. But to insist
that women would prefer individual
independence to the making of a
home is to deny womankind one of
it's highest virtues.
There are unquestionably some
women who enter into matrimony
as matter of convenience, but they
are the same whom the tie never
binds. To all such the divorce court
is an added and possibly more at
tractive convenience Commercial
Appeal.

CROP INSURANCE FOR
FARMERS POSTPONED
Secretary Miss. Assn Insurance
Agents Says Farmers De-
prived of Great Boon.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. IA great
boon, ane that the farmers of Mis-
sissippi have longed for, crop insur-
ance, has been swept away, tempo
rarily at least, because of the action
of the state revenue agent in suing
the fire insurance companies oper-
ating in Mississippi, for alleged vio-
lation of the antitrust law of the
state. Just when the farmers of
Mississippi were beginning to take
advantage of the offering Of a few
insurance companies to give them
crop insurance policies the protec-
tion and guarantees for which they
had long prayed for were taken
away.
Thus the farmers of the state are
beginning to feel the effects of the
now famous suits against the fire
insurance companies, coming at a
time when crop conditions are far
from promising and when there is a
general business depression. The
suits have resulted in bringing bur-
dens to business men and farmers
alike. There is hope that public SEN
timent will be aroused to the stage
that the resentment of the people
will be manifested in such certain
terms that the acute situation in
Mississippi may be relieved. AS is
well known the business man in the
city can protect his property, but
the farmer has, always assumed the
risk Of every crop he planted. Crop
insurance, however, protects him a
gainst any loss that may occur to his
crop by reason of overflow, insects,
excessive rains and wind storms
Therefore, the farmers business can
be placed on as safe a basis as that
of the city merchant, if he takes out
crop insurance. And just when he
was able to get it, along comes the
revenue agent and by his action al
least temporarily deprives him of it
The few insurance companies
which had but recently decided tc
establish departments of crop insur.
ance have abandoned the enterprise
or at least suspended it until the
day dawns in Mississippi when they
can do business in a legitimate way
without being hampered and harass
ed by any official who for his owr
selfish interest may seek to institute
suits for alleged technical violations
of the law.-(adV).
