them on North Meridian street. this
city. The building which now oc-
cupies the site and used by c. Bell.

will be torn away entirely or re-
modelled to conform to plans of
the new structure.
The first floor of the hospital
building will be designed for COM
modious dental parlors and a din

floor will be used as a sanitarium.
the wards of which will connect with
offices of Drs. Boyd and Acker.
who will be in charge of the insti-
tuition. The dental offices will be
occupied by DR.. E. S. Fur.
The sanitarium is to have accom-
modations for both white and col
ored patients and will also be pro-
vided with charity wards.
This institution will be a valua-
BILE acquisition to the needs of the
city, which heretofore has been
lacking in adequate hospital fa-
cilities. This fact was made evil
dent last April when a cyclone
swept over a part of the city deal

1t is understood that work on the
new building will commence at an
early date and be vigorously pushed
to completion.

MONROE COUNTY DUROC
BREEDERS ASSOCIATION
Is ORGANIZED With Twenty-Five
Enthusiastic Members. Will
Promote Hog Industry

Promote Hog Industry
Responding to a call issued by
f. b. Heller. proprietor of the Dixie
Stock Farm, a number of promi-
nent interested stockmen met in
the city hall. this city. last Saturday
and organized county Duroc hog
breeders association Mr.. K. b.
Heller presided and called upon
Judge ID. w. Houston. whom he
denominated "Mississippi's next
governor, to address the meeting.
Judge Houston is not a breeder
of Duroc hogs. but knowing the
advantages possessed by this local
ity over other sections for growing
hogs and other stock, stressed this
fact and pointed out the wealth
that would accrue to our people if
only they would avail themselves
of these advantages, and organize
breeders and agriculturalists' asso-
Citations, and do their part.
Mr.. Heller, who recently came
to this county from the. northwest
and invested in land and livestock,
told of the splendid prosperity that
had come to the people of that
section through breeding pedigreed
hogs and cattle and stated that
Monroe county far excels that 10
cality for stock breeding because of
natural fertility of the soil, short
winters and native grasses.
The organization starts out with
twenty five members. J. Sisk was
made president; H. Dalton, vice.
president. and E. B. Heller, secre-
tary and treasurer. The directors
are: j. X. Baker, G. E. Seavey, w
Herrin and J. Hazard The annual
membership fee was placed at 81
The first meeting of the directors
will be held at the residence of ].
Sisk, Egypt, March q 1921.
Breeders of the Duroc are better
organized than any of the other hog
breeders in the world. The Monroe
county unit is the first to be organ
lied in this state. and invites every
Duroc breeder in this locality to
become a member. The association
urges that only by cooperation can
the superior excellence of this par
ticular breed of hogs be promoted
70 the mutual interests of its breed
ers and admirers.
If you are a breeder of Duroc
hogs. or desire to become one.
write to e. B. Heller. Aberdeen.
Miss. He will answer all letters of
inquiry.

ASKS COOPERATION IN
PROMOTING DAIRY INDUSTRY
e. B. Heller Advises Breeding of
Blooded Cows as the Life
of Dairying.
Editor Aberdeen Weekly.

OF Dairying.
Editor Aberdeen Weekly.
Will you please give the follow
ing matter space in your paper. Ii
is an argument in favor of better
cattle and better farming. and | am
sure you are as much interested in
this movemsnt as anyone.
The miracle of dairy develop
ment, which has changed the char
acter of peoples food. even in the
remotest sections of the world. was
made possible by the selection.
through thousands of years. of
types of cattle particularly adapted
to large milk production, and the
development of these types of cat
tie. in which the breeders of Hol-
tein-Friesian cattle were pioneers
and leaders.
The development of the dairy
COW. and the keeping pure of her
blood lines by preventing admixture
of any other blood, resulted in the
economical, efficient mllk-producer
of today; easily raised and able to
yield large amounts of butterfat.
and to reproduce regularly.
When the earth was only SPARSE
ly populated. small amounts of
milk and butterfat we're sufficient
to feed the world. but with the vast
increase of the earth's population.
and the establishment OF cities and
congested areas, the common cow
proved inadequate.
The old and the new may be vis-
ualized by comparing the monde
script COWS of other lands, yielding
barely enough to suckle her calf
and our own Black and White
milking machine, producing from
five to ten tons of milk in a year,
In certain sections of the world,
the native nilks into a receptacle
about the size cf a baking powder
can or a cocoanut shell, while we
haul the milk by wagon and train
load, because Holstein- Friesian cat
tie have been bred for milk-pro-
duction for ages and their blood car
ries the milking tendencies.
Breeding stock of pure blood
lines is the life of the dairy indus
try. Other cattle, while adding to |
the worlds food supply. could be
destroyed without the serious con-
sequences which would attend the |
elimination of all dairy animals of
pure blood. Only by prop
er and faithful registration of every
animal that is pure bred can a
breed remain pure. Progress, with
out pure-breeds, is impossible in
the dairy industry.
Dairy communities are not Ionly |
famous for the high production and
beauty of their herds. but they in
yariably show the greatest wealth
per capita and land values show
the greatest increase.
Monroe county, particularly,
adapted to dairy and livestock farm
ing, should begin a concerted
for better stock, and es-
pecially for the PURE-BRED SIRE.
In the interest of every citizen of |
our county, ask the cooperation
of pu5lic-spirited business men and
progressive farmers.
