1t was brought out at the meeting
of farmers last Saturday in talks on
diversitication that Hon. w. Fl. Kolb
who farms in the third district re-
allied $3.50 in net profits on one acre
which he planted to tomatoes last
year. Mr.. Kolb accomplished this
by canning the fruit at home and
selling the preserved product to Alb
erdeen merchants. 1t was stated
by a merchant present who had
handled Mr.. Kolb's tomatoes that
his trade preferred them to other
brands because they were of better
quality and contained more fruit.

INDICATES OIL IS HERE

The editor inspected a map made
by geologist of standing in which
was traced out the two anticlines
along which the greatest production
of oil has been realized in the United
States. One of them trends from the
northwest through the Caddo and
I'll Dorado oil fields enthusiastically.
the other from the northeast through
the Pennsylvania oil fields south
Westwardly. The two anticlines in
tsrsect in North Mississippi includ-
ing in these areas all the territory

of Monroe county and adjacent
counties in the direction of their
trends. The people of this section
could have development of this in
dicated wealth if they would CO.
operate and coordinate their lease
interests and go after the oil with
proper concert of action.

MISSISSIPPI TO LOSE
ONE OF HER CONGRESSMAN
Legislature Must RediSfrict the
State Into Seven Districts
First Is In Danger

First Is In Danger
When the Legislature meets next
January it will be called upon to
reapportion the state into congress
sional districts. Under the last
census. and the redistricting of the
several states under an act requir-
ing this to be done on the new pop
ulation basis. Mississippi is to lose
one Of her congressman, leaving to
the state seyen instead of eight rep
resentatives in the lower house of
the national assembly.
Discussing this complex situation
which the next session of the legis-
lature must adjust, the Cleveland
Commercial says:
Those acquainted with the
states political history will remem-
Der that prior to 1900 our congress
siona1 districts represented gerry
mander." but in that year. VIII en-
our representation was increased to
eight seats. the legislature reap
portioned our state into eight dis
tricts. which now exist, and which
represents an ideal apportionment,
because each of the districts are
geographically compact; are about
equal in population; the interests
of the several counties of the re-
spectiye districts are identical, and
the state is so divided
that we have homogeneous citi-
zenship in each of the eight districts.
1t is for these reasons that the
Legislature faces big task-it must
undo a good piece of work which
could hardly be improved upon. 1t
is difficult job, that of reappor-
tioning the State. One congress-
man is certain to lose his seat, and
after the reapportionment it is al
together probable that three of our
present congressman may find
themselves in the same district.
For instance. Montgomery, Lee and
Tippah counties. the homes respec-
tiyely of Sisson. Rankin and Low
rey, may all be placed in the same
district; which will mean that at
least two of the gentlemen will lose
their seats.
Politically speaking, this will
be the biggest job before the legis-
lature. and members of that body
know enough about politics to
know that what is apparently po-
litical advantage today may be
real handicap two years hence, for
in politics one cannot plan ten years
ahead. and this new apportionment
will remain as fixed by the legisla-
ture for that period without change.
For these and other reasons it is
believed that the Legislature will
gnore the claims of any and all
actions. and will give us fair and |
equitable apportionment. regard

STORM FELT HEAVILY
IN OUR CITY

The atmospheric disturbance felt
not only on this continent but in Eu-
rope has been prevalent in Ocala and
vicinity. There was a good rain FRI
day, better one Saturday, a storm
Sunday and the first cousin of a
cloudburst today.
Today's storm rather shook things
up, played hankypanky with the tele-
phone wires, installed firstclass lake
in the union station plaza and last
but not least bit large section out
of the southeast corner of the Meth
odist church.
This building is having a large adj
dition made to it, and there is an ex-
cavation in its rear for the intended
basement. The ground was so dry
and hard that no one thought it would
give, but when the rain began pour
ing yesterday it soon put several in
ches of water in this hole, which seep-
ed into the ground under the founda-
ton, causing it to give away.
The whole rear wall of the Sunday
school room fell and about ten feet
of the sidewall. Not SO much damage
is done, as the rear wall would have
been taken out anyhow.

ARMY PLANS TO CO.
OPERATE WITH AMATEUR
WIRELESS OPERATORS

Geenral Morrison's headquarters at
Fort Mcpherson, Ga, announce that
in the near future complete plans will
be ready for PRONUNCIATION relative to
the signal reserve corps. This organ
ization is to be composed of civilians
who desire training along the lines of
signal corps activities, especially in
radio telegraphy and telephony. 1t is
contemplated establishing small units
of the signal reserve corps in various
cities and towns throughout the
fourth corps area, which comprises
the Southern states. These units will
receive instruction not only by means
of lessons. examinations, etc.. through
from time to time,
but by actual practice in radio tele-
graphy and telephony through the op-
Grafton of government radio stations
working with amateur radio stations.
The signal corps has, at this time,
1890 reserve officers. 1t is contem-
plated increasing this number consid-
erably in the near future, and it is de-
sired to obtain an enlisted strength
of signal reserve corps so that in case
o femergency the signal corps will be
in position to Immediately furnish a
trained, competent personnel to ade-
quately perform all of the duties re-
quired of the signal corps. and have
this force available to answer any
sudden calls for trained men in every
capacity.
The enlisted reserve corps will be
under the direct control of the war de-
partment and cannot be called out ex-
cept by executive order of the presi-
dent, and then only in case of emerg-
ency, with the exception of fifteen
days each year for actual field train
ing, for which time they will receive
reimbursement not only for their
travelling expenses to and from the
camp, but will also receive the pay
and subsistence allowed soldiers in the
regular army of equal grade.
The signal officer, fourth corp.
area, Fort Mcpherson, Ca, desires t.
get in touch with all men who woule
be interested in joining the signal re
serve corps. 1t is believed that tn,
theoretical and practical training il
radio and other signal corps worl
viii be of value to all of the men re
ceiving this instruction, not only a
increasing their potential value to tn
4 government in time of emergency, bu
also as a real and practical advantag
to them in securing further advance
ment in civil life.

FINE COUNTRY FOR FARMERS

sued by the soviet government to put
into effect the decision of the last So
Wet congress permits trade in sur
plus foodstuffs under certain restric-
tions, says report here from Mos

1t provides that 144,O00,O 900 bushels
of the 100000 bushels of grain
necessary for the feeding of the
towns and cities shall be taken from
the farmers by levy; the remainder to
be purchased from them by giving
them in exchange machinery, cloth,
iron and other articles.
Freedom of trade is to be permitted
only in districts which have paid their
taxes.
1t will be necessary, it is said, to
obtain the machinery for the farmers
abroad, but the other commodities
could be produced at home except for
the breakdown of production due to
the lack of fuel and raw materials.
For the present the only produce
for exchange with the peasants is

out, there is a difficulty in the matter
of transportation, although both salt
kand oil themselves are abundant.

PRESIDENT PRESENTED
WITH A PAIR OF BLANKETS

Walpole, N. H., May i5.-The Che
shine, County Farm Bureau has issued
blanket insurance against a presiden-
tial chill by sending a pair of fieecy
bed coverings TO the White House.
These were manufactured from wool
sheared from sheep raised on the hills
of New Hampshire. In letter ac-
companying the gift State Senator
Fred o. Smalley said:
"You will be interested to know
that the farmers had practically their
entire 1920 wool crop converted into
blankets, about 500 pairs in all. These
blankets, by the way. are the old
fashioned kind, such as our grand
mothers used to make. BY securing
q market in this way we have been
able to obtain a price of about 40
cents pound for the raw wool, which
was better than no market at all''
President Harding's reply said:
IL have read with great deal OF
interest your letter. and am especially
pleased to have the blankets which
you were good enough to present tc
me on behalf of the Cheshine County
Farm Bureau. Please let me assure
you and your associates that l an
very much gratified by this evidences
of your good will"

SMALL SALARIES

Chattanooga, May 16-The average
salary of the nearly 10000 white Bap-
tist ministers of the South is barely
$500 year, DIR. William Lunsford,
secretary of the relief and annuity
board of the Southern Baptist Conven-
tion, reported to the convention here
today. Not more tina none out of ten
of these ministers receives as much
as $500 per year.
1t was with view to providing
ministers, who have spent their lives
working for inadequate salaries, with
support for their declining years
that the relief and annuity board was
organized and located at Dallas, Tex,
three years ago. A report of marked
progress in this work was submitted
by DIR. Lunsford He shows the board
is now serving nearly 800 benefciar-
les, or practically twice the number
served by the various states prior to
the organization of the board. The
allowance made these benefciaries has
increased on the average from forty
to sixty per cent, over what was given
by the states working individually. A
total of $117,410.08 was given in
benefits during the year to aged
preachers, their widows and orphans,
through the agency of the board, the
report shows. The individual benefits
ranged from $50 to $500, as the merits
of the case demanded and the funds
of the board would permit.
The board has been able to carry
on its work without mourning debt
without borrowing funds, and ha:
paid all its stipends on time. In ad
dition to the receipts from the z;
million campaign the board has withir
the past few months received $500. .00t
from John ID. Rockefeller Sr., anG
now has an endowment and reserv,
fund, the increase from which viii de
fray all the boards expenses in tn,
future. This will enable it to appl.
all its future receipts to its relief an,

sets of the board, including the en-
dowment and reserves for both it
relief and annuity work, now tota
