THE HUMBLE MULE.

All hail the mule. We love the big
cared rascal. 1t is well for everyone
to learn to love the mule if they are
going to be closely associated with
him, for he can save your life every
time you pass behind him, and it all
depends upon your past standing with
him whether he does so or not. The
rear extremities of a mule are more
rapid than lightning, unerring in aim,
and more fatal than dynamite.
To the mule nothing is impossible,
no obstacle is unsurmountable. In
fact, mules do not recognize obstacles.
When a mule starts on an orrand he
finishes it. If he finds anything in his
way he goes over it, under it, or
through it but never around it.
The mule is neither beautiful in con-
tour nor musical in song, but he must
be credited with being absolutely orig
inal and distinctive with his voice.
One never mistakes a mule when he
hears one and they can be heard, it
is said, several hundred miles away.
The man who originates an auto horn
that will initiate a mules voice is
going to have a big estate to leave TO
his heirs. The time is coming, too,
when our autos will not be designated
by fifty or sixty horse power, but by
two or four mule power. It will not
sound so nice to say we have a new
four-mule car, but it will mean worlds
in real quality.
Long live the mulel If it were not
FOR him. some people would be the
most stubborn creatures in the world.

DISCUSSES CRIME WAVE
BROOKHAVEN, Miss, Sept. q

BROOKHAVEN, Miss, Sept. o.
A great crowd, which included
large number of representative won.
en- of Brookhaven and Lincoln County
was present for the openng Of cir.
cult court yesterday, in Ice D. NJ
Miller presiding. r. l.. Gcdbold was
chosen foreman Of the grand jury.
AT the request of Judge Miller, J.
T. Williams opened court with pray
err and Judge J. B. Holden of the SUI
preme bench of Mississippi and r. II.
Thompson of Jackson, former Judge
of this county, addressed the audi
ence.
Judge Miller said that crime in Mis-
sissippi and the fourteenth judicial
district, which he represents is on
the increase. He deplored the increase
of delinquency among young girls and
boys, attributing it in part to demon
alizing picture shows, night rides and
automobiles and "mixed" bathing.
The increase in crime, the judge stat
ed, was due, not so much to the world
war as to the fact that few were APP
pretended for crime. Perjury was
common and friends on the grand jury
insure freedom for some who should
be brought to justice, he said. The
manufacture and sale of "white light
ming" gambling on ball games and
in others forms, vagrancy and carry
ing of concealed weapons, stealing,
speeding and violation of the Sabbath
were discussed in their relation to
this district.

LOVE THE TEACHERS

Today you will meet many schoC
teachers ready for their years work
Tomorrow morning, bright and ear
ly, you will see these teachers il
action.
To teach Is to construct history
So that, in reality, the teacher comes
next to the pioneer as force in civ
ilization.
And yet their faithful daily work
which is Of infinite service not on
ly to the community, but to all hui
manity, is probably poorer paid and
less recognized than any other trained
class.
The teachers of the nation should
be as carefully selected as generals
during the period of war. A. good
teacher is beyond estimate Of price
no salary is too much For upon the
intelligence of the teachers of the
world, rests the permanence of every
worthwhile institution under the
moon and stars.
Train up a child in the way he
should 60" said very wise man,
"and when he is old he will not depart
therefrom."
Good teachers are much more i'm
poitant to a community than public
officials. One could easily direct
whole city-but it takes a whole
Of competent teachers to
lead the younger to better thinking
and sounder living.
Teachers should be the best loved
folks in all our fabric of Garry up"

AWFUL EXPENSE
OF KILLING MEN

1t has recently been computed thai
: the money loss, due directly and in
directly to the war, and making nj
allowance whatever for the loss Of
human life, is $350,OO0, 100000. Like
the number of miles to some distant
star, the amount is so staggering as
to cause a sort Of mental insensibili-
ty; because even great finaneiers, ac-
lcustomed to thinking in large amounts
can but feebly sense this vast amount.
ii isgood for us to reflect ON the
price we are all paying for Germany's
war. But for that war the three hun
bred and fifty thousand millions would
have been spent for churches, houses,
roads, schools, presents for little chill
dren, savings against old age, comf0r-
table clothes for the old, and pretty
dresses for the young. Millions Of
comforts the world would have had
during the seven years past. But it is
all gone, and billions Of it yet unpaid,
which will tax the world for at least
two generations.
Ten years ago we spent less than
$3.50, 100000 on our army and navy
This year we are spending close to
81 ,375, 100000, and have just emerged
from a war on which we spent $24,-
600, 100000 and have now ON hand,
left over, much of it unused and still
in original packing cases, millions up |
on millions of supplies, ready to use
and already paid for. In spite of this,
we are spending nearly billion and a
half on the War Department; nearly
so per cent more for this department
alone than all the expenses of gov
ernment combined, 10 years ago. The
people of the whole world are crushed
lnder the burden of taxation, the most
# which is for or because of war.
I will startle most people to learn
hat of all the taxes we are now
,aying, out of each dollar 81. cents
re spent for war. With the world
gar-sick; with no one in position to
eally ieopardize us; with other ma
ions nearly or practically bankrupt,
ur liability to dangerous attack was
never less than now, or for
good many years to come. With
lost of the world anxious to reduce e
he burden of armament, let us hope p
hat the effort of President Harding ]
0 secure even a sort of gentleman's o
which would be a first and G
ing step, will receive the outspoken
upport of every citizen. When pub S
c sentiment really exists upon dis d
rmament it will come. Il

MARKET REPEATS IT'S
IRREGULAR TREND

New York, April 21.-In its salient
features the stock market today re-
peated its irregular and reactionary
trend of recent sessions. Trading was
more active and broader in scope, but
again preponderantly professional.
Pools resumed their bullish maneu-
vers in the low priced or junior oils,
some of which added to their recent
gains. Several motors, and affiliated
issues, notably Studebakcr. also were
strong.
Steels and equipments were subject
cd to renewed pressure, the unfavor-
able quarterly earnings of the kc-
public Iron and Steel company, to-
gether with general industrial condi-
tions, initiating against constructive
efforts in those shares.
Rails and shippings denoted in
creased restraint due to adverse in
dustral factors. Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western was an exception,
rising II points, presumably in antici-
patton of the large dividend distribu-
ton authorized by the interstate com
merce commission. Bears were most
aggressive in the last hour when
drives against leading steels. oils and
food specialtes resulted in gross re-
actions of | to points. Shorts covered
extensively before the close, however.
Studebakcr's extreme advance of 81:
points. most OF which was retained
effectng marked Improvement in the
general list.
Sales amounted to 100000 shares.
Disparity between money rates on
the stock exchange and the open
market became more pronounced. ON
the board call loans were at 61a per
cent, but in private negotiations, such
loans were again made at 5ia and .
per cent
Weakness of German marks, a cir
cumstance ascribed to the allies de-
mand for transfer of the reichsbank' s
gold reserves, was the feature of the
foreign exchange market. all other
|remittancos. including Sterling react
ng.
Mixed conditions ruled in the bond

degree of stcadiness, while domestic

FOREIGN AN1 DOMESTIC MARKETS
WHEAT SCORES A
MODERATE ADVANCE

Chicago. Ill, April 21.-Wheat scored
a moderate advance today owing more
or less to signs of export business. The
close was firm Xc to &c net higher
with May s1.27h to *.27H and July
sl06h to $l.061z.
Corn finished unchanged to &c lower
and oats unchanged to &c down.
In provisions the outcome varied
from l5c decline to a like advance.
Until the last half hour. wheat failed
to show any well defined tendency
but instead underwent numerous rapid
fluctuations.
Sellers were inclined to put stress on
bearsh views of the Industrial situa
ton and to be skeptical about do
nestle crop damage talk
ScantinesS of the stock of wheat
here was an incentive to buy and so
was a current opinion that no exports
need be looked for this season from
India, Russia or the Balkans. An
nouncemcnt that 10000 barrels of flour
had been taken in the east for Europe
helped to emphasize belief that other
export dcalinS- were in progress and
to lift values at the last
Gossip that Indiana and Illinois Of
ferings of corn had increased slightly
counted against bulls in corn. Oats
wero weakened by competition from
Canada. Downturns in hog values
made provisions for the most part
