Guernseys are registered and he has
about six cows st the present time on
official test.
Every record made on the Person
farm was made under ordinary farm
conditions. The cows were on pas
ture and In the stsnchions during the
test period. There is no special test
barn on the Person farm. The Ma.
jor might almost be termed crank
on this subject.
Reason Back Of The Farm
II want my cows" he said, ito
stand the racket that any farm COW
would have to stand in this northern
North Dakota climate. They say the
Guernsey Is delicate. I've proved
that she's a. hardy as any Of them.

mental herd. I want to prove to my
farmer patrons and all other farmers
Of Ward County that pure-bred cat
tie can be made to pay and pay big
under ordinary farm conditions: I
believe the best way to do this is to
start him with high class grades and
a pure-bred sire, so that he can see
the constant improvement that comes
as his herd is built up and gets more
and more Of the pure-bred blood.
II believe there is tremendous
future for dairy farming in North Da-
kota. This country will never succeed
as straight wheat country. No
country ever has or ever can. All
parts Of the country have passed
through the straight wheat stage. I
hope that we are through with that
stage now and that we will continue
to grow as dairy country until we
rival Minnesota and Wisconsin at to
quantity of our dairy products as we
now rival them in quality.
"But not every farmer is ready to
take on pure -breds. It requires spe.
cial training and ability to keep the
records and handle the business of
registration, breeding, and official
testing. do not wish to rush farm.
ers into the pure-bred business until
they learn how to properly care for
a high class dairy animal"
This statement by Major Person
sounds the keynote of the efforts that
have been put forth by the Union Ma.
tional Bank of Minot SO successfully.
1t has made haste slowly, but the Ma
jor believes the time has now come
when many Of the dairymen Of Ward
County can "step out" little and he
now has several of them started with
pure bred females to mate with their
pure-bred sires and steps are now be-
ing taken to organize an official cow
testing association in the Minet dis.

an excellent address, during the
course of which he referred to his
own mother who died while he was
serving the State as Governor, tell
ing how her beautiful Christian life
had been an inspiration to him. Sen
ator Vardaman also referred to the
mothers of history stating that
while there were a few. known by
name to the world, there were thous-
ands of heroic mothers, who had
fought their battles within their own
breasts, unknown to fame but who
through their children had fixed
the policies of nations.

FIRST-CLASS BASEBALL
MONDAY AND TUESDAY
New BrOOkhaven Team Will
Play Sumrall Three Games
New Ball Park.

Brookhaven's newly-organized ball
team will play the strong Sumrall
aggregation a series of three games
here next Monday and Tuesday with
double-header the last day. Games
will be called on Monday at 4:45 and
on Tuesday at p. m. and 5 p. m.
Several new players will be in
Brookhaven's lineup for the first
games here, insuring strong team,
while Sumrall has been "walloping'
almost all comers. A few players on
both teams assure that the games
will be interesting affairs to the
spectators. Lambert and Thompson
will do the slab-work for the Sum-
rail- team, while Hubert will take
care of the shortfleld. For Brook
haven Hymel and Jones will do some
of the twirling with the well-known
and popular Cohen doing the re
ceiving" act. Hymel is remembered
by local fans as the star pitcher for
Columbia last season and with a
buzZ-saw like Cohen for battery
mate should give a good account of
himself. All games will be hard
fought, live affairs.
Good crowds from adjoining towns
are expected here to witness all of
the games and it's really worth the
trip to Brookhaven to see our brand
new ball park-all fenced, extra
large covered grand-stand, with all
modern improvements, more bleacher
seats than will ever be used and a
lightning fast diamond. There is no
better place in the state to play base
ball.
Even the practice games every af-
ternoon are now attracting more
than the usual attention and local
fans are enthusiastic over the pros
pective games, coming as they do
before the date at first announced
as the opening of the local associa-
lions activities.

Governor Apparently Doesn't Believe
Extra Session is Necessary,

Jackson, Miss, May 5.-Many in
quiries are being received here as to
the present status of the insurance
situation. Briefly summed up it may
be said:-
The governor is silent as to any
expression on the extra session ques-
tion, but surface indications show
that he is not convinced of it's ne
cessity at the present time.
Stokes V. Robertson, state revenue
agent, is standing pat" on the
ground that he is trying to enforce
existing laws which he claims have
been violated.
Insurance commissioner Henry is
admitting such companies as can
qualify under the law. and is reuuir-
ing such securities as the Mississip-
pi law recognizes.
Seven direct writing companies ale
writing business in the state, includ-
ing the Mississippi fire, with Iimita-
tions ranging from $4,000 to $4,000
en- any one risk. These companies
divide larger risks with each othey
and where the lines require, are re-
insuring with outside reinsurina
companies in order to carry excess,
Large lines of insurance are look.
ing to outside insuring facilities tc
cover risks ranging from $4,000 up
ward. Some Of these are yet unable
to place their lines.
In the rural communities peo.
pie do not appear to be worrying as
they have usually carried their owr
insurance.
Some 80 or more mutuals and re.
ciprocals which were not involved
in the antitrust litigation are still
doing business.
The agents of the withdrawing
companies are making the best Of
the situation as far as possible, plac
ing such business as they can with
the licensed companies and waiting
for developments
The antitrust suits will come ut
for trial at the next meeting of thu
chancery court, which eonvenes here
the last Week in May. Some agree
ment of attorneys is expected to bt
made for trial early in June.

Statewide Chamber
Begins to Function

Jackson, Miss, May 5.-The Mis-
sissippi State Chamber of Commerce
recently organized, started the wheels
of the new organization to moving
this week when the first meeting of
the newly elected officers was held
in the rooms of the Jackson Board
of Trade.
This meeting was attended by ].
w. McGrath, of Brookhaven, the
chambers first president; Judge o.
B. Taylor, of Jackson, vice-president; !;
r. H. Pate, organizing secretary; ].
B. Lusk, treasurer; Mrs. Ruth DR..
Stephenson, office secretary; and w.
B. Lockwood, publicity director.
The president appointed an execu-
tive committee as follows:- w. r.
Holloway, Laurel; Judge o. B. Tay-
lor, Jackson; Miss F. H. Parker,
Canton; w. B. Burke, Charleston; !;
and o. L. Mckay, Meridian.
Headquarters of the chamber were
established in the Jackson Board of
Trade rooms, from whence the bus
mess of the organization will be
transacted. r. H. Pate, organizing
secretary, assisted by Mrs. Ruth D.
Stephenson, will be in charge of the
Offices, where they are ready to give
all information relative to the aims
and purposes of the organization
and take care of the business inter
ests of its membership, which, it is
hoped, will be composed of all class
es, institutions and individuals hav-
ing the advancement and develop
ment of Mississippi at heart.
A spirit of optimism pervaded the
first meeting of the officers, who ex-
pressed the belief that there is a
greater need at the present time for
a State Chamber of Commerce than
ever before in the history of the
state. This belief seemingly is shar-
ed in throughout the state, as let
ters of inquiry and applications fer
membership are being received at
the office from every section Of the
state.
The organizing secretary will be
at his desk for several days, arrang-
ing details in the office and mapping
out plans for campaign of the state
that he will begin at an early date.

in Hazlehurst Section

Hazlehurst, Miss, May 5.-Light
frosts fell here Tuesday and We'd
nesday nights and the farmers say
they do not expect over 40 per cent
tomato crops as a result. Not a field
Of cotton, 1t is reported, escaped
damage. The county's acreage in
cotton is cut fully so per cent and
the cotton farmers are unanimous in
their opinion that not more than o.
600 bales will be raised this year as
against $500 bales last year. The
county farm agent, c. c. Bearden,
has been pushing the sweet potato
planting for the farmers, and as a
result there are thousands of acres

in the 1elds in many instances, and
leplantings have become necessary.
All that has not been plowed under
Tor replanting Is yellow and dwarf

out enough~to make profitable
yield. Sugar cane is doing nicely
where 1t is up. The county this fail
will be supplying markets with thou
sends OF gallons Of syrup as was the
case last year. Dairying also is fast
coming into a leading role among
the farmers.

This is rheumatism of the mus
