SENTIMENT AS AN ARMY ASSET

LNVEN under the League of Nations or any
II other scheme for promoting harmOny
on this stressful planet, it is unlikely that
the age old conflict between p"dantry and
sentiment will cease.
A typical instance Of this eternal struggle
is now furnished by the War Department,
which has ruled that no re yiment in the
American Army will be permitted to claim
as part of its record any of its achievements
antcddting May. 1915. 1t is asserted in
ciicial circles that the military reorganza-
tion which occurred Mt about that time
beclouded the historic identity of regiments
that have long been proud of their achieva-
ments in the Revolution. the War of 1912
or other wars in the early life of the Re.
public.
Among these infantry organizations are
the Fourth. tracing it's history back to 1892
and especially famous for its participation
in Tippccanoe in 1911 under William Henry
Harrison. and the Seventh, which fought
with notable galantry in the Battle of New
Orleans four years later.
The reasonable argument is advanced that
it would be quite as unwarranted to wipe
out the traditional significance of these
names as it would be TO deprive battle
ship of its consecutive historic associations
every time it underwent a change Of officers
and crew.
The War Department NAV be inclined
TO view such protests as trining, and yet
experience has shown that sentiment is an
absolutely invaluable asset to any military
establishment and is n potent support OF the
desired esprit de corps. The French Army.
from Napoleon to the present day. is proof
of this point.
The situation. which is disturbing some
of the oldest aud most storied of American
regiments. is one to which Secretary Weeks
might profitably accord a measure of sympa-
thetic consideration

A WOMAN'S NAME

A GROUP of women in New York seem
"A TO be still violently exercised over the
assumption of her husbands name by q
married woman. 1t is insisted that woman
is entitled to her own name and should not
be compelled to surrender it to any man.
The women. however. have been surprised
when they have been told that there is moth
ing in the law of New York which compels
married woman to take her husba nd s
name, and that it is only custom that makes
Keziah Terwiliger call herself Mrs. Ham.
mersmith when she marries Jeremiah Ham.
mersmith.
They have not yet got so far as to discuss
the name by which the children shall be
known. Shall the boy be- called Jeremiah
Terwilliger and the girl Keziah Hammer
smith. or what is to be done about it When
you come TO think it over, the matter of
names is not quite so simple as it seems

A KING FOR IRELAND?

WHEN Kings were Kings Ireland had
w some of the best Of them fine, big, up
standing men, who could fight a battle to a
finish, write a ballad and sing it, drink a
flock of rctainers under the table and be
lieve In fairies, all in one and the same day. .
These early Kings left In the sagas of
their times, a record of achievements almost
usmatched for glory and violence. Fiercely
they fought, iercely they believed and
fiereeIy they loved and hated. They went
singing to their wars knowing that they had
10 win or die They were great men in
their way and the like of them has not been
known In centuries.
For that reason Lord Hugh Cecil, amiable
and we'll intentioned as he seems to be, must
have shocked all Ireland with the suggestion
that 1t begin life anew under King of the
modern type,

Get Ready Now to Boost Your
Next County Fair

A county fair is a county's show
window. You can tell the char
acter of a merchant. a good deal
about his business ability and not
little about the quality of his
goods, by the display he makes in
his show window. Likewise you
can tell whole. lot about the peo-
pie of county by the kind of show
they offer within the high board or
wire fence which encloses the fair
grounds.
But the county fair is not only a
show window-it is an educational
institution. Not many years ago
the county fair was an aggregation
of freaks. Anything which devel-
oped abnormally on the farm was
sure to find its way to the annual
fair.
Today the exhibitor at the coun-
ty fair does not care TO show freak
pig or three-legged chicken, but a
pig that has class and quality. and
poultry that can fill the market
basket with large eggs. 1t is no
longer the big ear of corn that in
terests him, but the ear that is just
the right size to mature safely; just
the right shape to yield the largest
number of uniform kernels of the
right size to be best for feeding.
The exhibitor matches the product
of his own farm against those of
other farms. That means that COM
peting exhibitors come together to
study standards.
You can see signs of progress.

staged to acquaint people with To-
cal historical events; in the booths
set up by public health associations
to teach lessons of disease proven
ton; to spread the gospel of good
roads; in juvenile canning and bak-

of other features of the county fair
of today.
Let's all help and boost for the
best fair in Mississippi to be held
this fall at Aberdeen.

LOOK TO NEW INDUSTRY

Providence created this section
of the South peculiarly for the pro-
duction of cotton, a fibre necessary
to clothe the peoples OF the earth
and entering largely into all indus
trial. maritime and military opera
tions. Prodigal of the prolific yield
of this plant, and unmindful of the
limitation set by the law of supply
and demand about the production
of anything the world must have,
cotton growers, because the staple
commands a price though often
below the cost of production have
persisted in growing it. despite adj
verse conditions, until it has
brought them near to the verge of
bankruptcy. The boil weyil. the
manipulation of spectators and
world conditions cutting off the ex-
port of cotton has put profitable
growing of it out of the question.
The situation confronting our
people at this time is what to sub
stitute in the way of industries for
the crop which has heretofore al
ways supplied US with ready money
and which will tide the time of re-
adjustment when it again will be-
come king of kings of all products
of the world.
Stock raising and dairy ing afford
a timely solution of the problem.
Our lands are fertile and produce
native and cultivatable grasses
abundantly; grain and root crops
yield in bountiful measure; our
winters are mild. and pure water
abOunds. The conditions prevail
which make stockraising and dairy
ing ideal to a degree scarcely equal
ed elsewhere In the world In the
interium covering the period when
cotton Will regain Its place as the
dominant crop of this section. dali
rying and the raising of stock would
become as lucrative to the land
owner as cotton ever was at it's best
in the past. Should these industries
become general the oyertaxed lands
would get much needed rest and
blush again with virgin fertility
from the accumulations of humus
and pasturage of livestock.
1t might be mentioned that
market for cream is already estab-
lished in Aberdeen where all that
can be produced in this section will
find ready sale at best prices. Alb
erdeen has the largest creamery
in Mississippi.

WHO IS To BLAME

Who or what caused the unem-
ployment recently existing ? Some
people say that the employers de-
liberately shut down their works in
order to break the power of the la
Dor unions. But as business men
are always willing to do business if
they see a chance to make money,
the people who make such allega-
tons do not seem familiar with hu-
man nature.
The principal cause of unemploy-
ment has been the high prices of
all kinds of goods that existed up
to few months ago. When you
push prices up beyond a certain
point. it always checks buying.
The principal cause of the high
prices was the slack production of
most working forces. Labor was
so scarce for about eighteen months
that people felt too sure of their
jobs. Most people, under such
conditions, relax on their efforts.
If they feel that their places can't
be filled, their ambition is deaden-
ed. 1t was a common thing for en-
ployers to say that although they
had much enlarged their working
forces, yet production fell off. One
man who used to employ six men
on certain job. recently said that
he was employing eleven, and get
ting no more work.
The tendency to standardize
wages, and pay just the same to
the inefficient as to the energetic,
greatly restricted production. This
is a world of hard work. Condi-
tons were never meant to be easy
People do not prosper unless they
buckle down to their tasks with
persistent earnestness.
Fronteerlng aggravated HI & h
prices. 1t was made easy by the
ow production. When goods are
scarce and factories are not turn
ing out a normal amount. it is EASY
ior any one who has anything to-
sell to get high price for it.
The unemployment recently ex-
sting has been a disagreeable but
part of the bursting of the |
bubble of initiation. In so far as
people turn out a normal produc-
ion, prices will be reasonable and
hence people will buy more freely
md unemployment will disappear.

PHONE INCREASE HALTED

There will be no increase in tel
ephone rates in Mississippi this
month nor for the next six months
to come, at least.
This announcement was made by
Attorney General Frank Robertson
as the result of a petition fled by
him for a writ of certiorari before
Circuit Judge Wiley H. Potter in
the Cumberland Telephone rate
case recently heard before the state
railroad commission. After hear
ing the petition Judge Potter or
dered the writ issued with superse-
IDEAS, which means that the order
OF the railroad commission granting
the rates is superseded and sus-
pended. The writ is returnable at
the next term of circuit court of
Kinds county, which conyenes on
the third Monday of September.
Under this order the company can
not collect more than the old rates,
and where the increased rates have
been already paid credit will have
to be given the subscriber.
Acknowledgement Robertson and
his assistants have been in confer
ence on the telephone case for the
past two, or three weeks, according
to the Jackson correspondent of the
Commercial Appeal, and it was
generally understood that some le
gal steps would be taken, but no
intimation was given out as to the
particular remedy to be elected.
This writ issued by Judge Potter
directs the secretary of the railroad
commission to have before the
Judge in September the entire rec.
ord in the telephone rate hearing
from beginning to end. with all or
ders and entire in the case, for re-
view by the court.
In his petition for the writ the
attorney general stresses the fact
that the testimony given by the
company does not separate or seq
gregate the expenses incurred for
local exchange rates from expenses
OF long distance service. and that
while it asks only for an increase
IN exchange rates there is nothing
IN the record to show the cost of
operating the. exchange services
separately from the long distance
service. and no way to determine
whether the increase should be on
local or long distance service.
