ARBOR DAY TOMORROW.

To City and County Superintend-
entS OF Education and TruS-
tees Of Public Schools:
Section 1926 of Hemingway's
Code provides that the Board Of
Education may designate q day to
be observed as Arbor Day.. which
shall be devoted to the planting
Of trees and otherwise improving
the school grounds" In accord
ance with the provisions Of this
section of law, the Board has des-
ignated Friday, February 10, as
Arbor Day and hereby requests
that on that day that there shall
be held at every school building
in the state public exercises of an
appropriate nature and that the
day be spent in the planting Of
trees, vines, shrubbery and flow
ers on the school grounds and do
ing things that will otherwise i'm
prove and beautify the premises.
The interest of every child in
school should be enlisted in the
proper observance of the day and
every pupil should have part on
the program somewhere. The
planting of shrubs and flowers on
our school grounds and in the
yards of our homes has been very
much neglected in Mississippi and
it is only through the schools that
our people can be inspired to take
advantage of the abundant oppor-
tunities offered by Nature to make
the World more beautiful place
in which to live.

FREE EXCHANGE COLUMN
FOR FARMERS.

This newspaper desires to rem
der every assistance possible to
the farmers of Rankin county, and
to that end we are going to open a
Farmers Exchange Column for
the purpose of giving our farmers
an opportunity of letting others
know what they have they do not
need, and are willing to exchange
it for something that they do
need. For instance, if one party
has molasses that he wishes to
exchange for corn, or any other
commodity, or corn or cotton
planter that he would like to ex-
change for other implements, let
him write what he wants in as few
words as possible and send to The
News and we will put it in the Ex-
change Column without cost. A
postal card will do to write your
exchange on. 1t does not make
any difference what you have that
you do not need, put notice in the
exchange columns and some one
might be glad to give you the very
thing you do need for that article.
You may offer to exchange any,
thing from a clevis for a hame-
string to an engine for an automo-
bile, and it will not cost you pen
ny. The services on our part will
be absolutely gratis.
The short money market makes
it imperative upon us to cooperate
more closely than ever before, and
there is absolutely no use in buy
ing new implements if you have
an opportunity to trade something
that you can get along without for
what you want. That's our reason
for giving you this column and we
hope that you will use it, feeling
sure that you can profit by doing
so. This colum will be strictly an
exchange column, and nothing
will be advertised in for money
consideration.
Look over your supply of farm
ing tools, molasses, chickens, eggs,
turkeys, cows, corn, or any COM
modify, and if you want to ex-
change some of 1t for something
else, write it on a postal card, or
a letter, and send to- us, and we
will do the rest.

Nearly everybody in Southwest
Missouri either knows or has
heard of the Rev. Parker Moon,
who for a full half century has
devoted his life and talents to
Sunday school and organization
work for the Society of Friends of
Quakers.
"Cncle Parker" as he is more
Familiarity known, came from fine
old rugged Quaker stock, and there
is not better known or more
highly respected citizen in that
part of the state. In referring to
his remarkable restoration to
health by Tanlac, he said:
About five years ago I suffer
ed general breakdown. My prin-
cipal trouble was nervous indi-
gestion. My appetite was very
poor and my food seldom agreed
with me, and had to live on a
very restricted diet. / suffered a
great deal from headaches and
dizzy spells; l had severe pains
across the small of my back and
was badly oonstipated most of the
time. In fact, | was so weak and
rundown | was not able to attend
to my duties.
This condition made me very
nervous and / could not sleep at
night. Frequently, / would lie a.
wake most all night and was in
that condition more or less for
five years, Ny physician said he
could not do anything for me and

has a right to say how his work
shall be done.
That his way and yours differ
simply shows if your positions
were reversed your methods
would be reversed and you would
insist upon your way being car
ried out-you know you would,
wouldn't you?
You or any other man hires a
man to do what the man who pays
him wants done, not to do as he
pleases.
Of course, some employers
won't listen to a suggestion, no
matter how good, which is a mis-
take, but the biggest mistake is
for a man to think that he should
be paid for bossing the boss.
To believe your way is better
than the boss's is to- assume the
wrong attitude, and to perform
your labors like machine with
out thought, or take directions
like a parrot without thought, is
another extreme.
Employers should encourage
their men to have ideas and ad-
vance.

Death of Mrs, ]. F, White.

On the 10Th of January our
hearts were made sad when the
death angel visited the home of
j. F. White and took his compan-
ion while she was at work.
We know it is hard to give one
up, but to part so sudden, not even
sick, it seems so hard, but it is the
Lords will, not ours.
Mrs. White leaves al devoted
husband, four sons and two
daughters. We know it is hard to
give up mother and companion
but remember we know she is at
rest and is gone from the land of
sin and sorrow.
She also leaves a widowed sis
ter, Mrs. Mary Barlow and two
brothers Mr.. Ed and John Park
son.
We wish to extend to the be-
reaved family our deepest sympa-
thy.
Mrs. White was loved by all who
knew her and will be missed so
much, especially in the Clear
Branch community where she
lived. If she had lived to have
seen the 3Oth day of April she
would have been so years Of age.
But the Lord saw best to take her.
Loved ones, mourn not, for we all
will have to go through the dark
shadow of death. !. Let us be ready
to meet our Saviour with a smile
as she did. She had not a min
ute's warning, but shewa spre-
pared to meet Him at any time.
She was devoted member of the
Baptist church lat Clear Branch,
and was laid to rest in the Gene
terry at that place. BY one who
loved her. Mrs. j, E. Burns.

PLANTING TIME NEAR; COT
TON PRICES HIGHER.

Nothing is more certain than
that an attempt will be made to
defeat the movement to reduce
cotton acreage. The attempt will
be engineered by those who want
available at all times a plentiful
supply of cotton at their own
price. In the past one of the weap-
ons against acreage. reductions
has been an advance in prices at
about planting time-ai mere bait.
Conditions are somewhat different
this year from what they were in
some previous years, and it is not
yet evident what turn attempts to
defeat acreage reduction will take.
Those who have profited by over
production of. cotton in the past
and who hope to continue to prof
it have not yet shown their hand.
There were some signs this week
that they are getting ready to
start something.
There was an advance in cotton
futures values this week. Funda-
mental conditions at Manchester
cannot change over night; yet ca
bles were credited with being of
such cheerful nature that, coupled
with more or less routine events
at home, an advance of about a
half cent "a pound was thought to
be warranted. This sudden change
of the English market from shad-
ow to sunshine was not accompa-
MED by a single news feature or
development to explain it.
Mere paper prices and chalk
marks will not fool the farmer this
time. For oneth ing it is trick
that has been worked so often that
it is becoming worn out; in the
next place an advance in price
that is not accompanied by ade-
quate demand for cotton will hard
ly be likely to inspire those who
cannot sell their cotton to plant
more.
Be not deceived, Mr.. Farmer.

(By The Associated Press.)

Topeka, Kans,, Nov. 17.-Op-
position to any candidate for
public office not pledged to re-
striction of taxes, was urged in
the report of the committee on
legislation and resolutions pre-
scented today to, the convention
Of the National Farmers union.
The report demanded that all
federal reserve banks be required
by amendment of the federal re-
serve act, to accept farm paper
running for six months to one
year, for rediscount, and an
amendment to the federal farm
act authorizing loans to run
from one to three years.
Separation of the American
Farm Bureau Federation from
the agricultural colleges, the ag-
ricultural extension service and
the department of agriculture of
the federal government was also
demanded in the report.
