INDIANS HAVE PLEASANT GATH
ER|NG AT PEARL RIVER
SCHOOL.
SIMPSON TUBDY ACTS As MASTER OF
CEREMONY.

The Indian gathering at the Pearl
River Indian School last Saturday
was success. There was Choctaw
funeral which kept many away who
might have otherwise come, but a
goodly number gathered.
The purpose of the gathering was
to thank Mingo Chitto, which we are
informed is the Choctaw for the
United States Government, and
means 'big boss" in English, for all
it has done for the Choctaws since
the Indian Office was established at
Philadelphia, and substantial assist
ance given in the way of implements
and loans, as well as schools.
Simpson Tubby acted as master of
cermonies. He made good address,
and cal led on other red-men. Ed
Willis, Comfy and others expressed
themselves in Choctaw, after which
Simpson Tubby, acting as interpreter,
gave resume Of what they had said.
Comfy said that the implements
given them by the government were
made to use, and that no good Choc-
taw would let them rust for want OF
use. Ed Willis said that Mingo Chit
to was bringing them to light, and
he for one would try to repay the
Mingo Chitto for all it had done for
him. And many an eye was wet.
when moved by something that one
OF their number had said in Choctaw.
F. j. McKinly made short ad.
dress, and the Reverend Father
PHILIPPE of the Indian Catholic Mis-
sion of Tucker told them that he had
come all the way from Belgian to
help the Choctaws of Mississippi. and
that he Was ready to help any Choc-
taw, whether he was a Catholic
Baptist. Methodist or whatnot.
Simpson Tubby, as master of cere.
monies, covered the Choctaw's needs
and troubles, mixed a great deal OF
humor in with his story.

Diversification the Keynote
OF Interstate Farm Congress.

With an attendance OF more than
800 farmers and business men from
Louisiana. Mississippi, and Alaba-
ma, the Interstate Farm Congress
held here during the week OF Septem.
Der IL, was declared great success.
Diversification was the principal
message OF the congress. Diversified
tion applied to the cotton interests,
means limiting thatcrop to one-third
the present acreage, so that the food
and feed crops may be raised by
Southern farmers, instead of being
imported at greater cost. Diversifi-
cation applied to farming In general
means rotation, cattle, cheaper ferti-
lizer, the raising of crops needed by
the market, and what's more impor-
tant, proper grading and packing,
and strong advertising campaign.
William Jennings Bryan, who came
to the congress at his own expense,
declared that the middleman is the
great economic evil OF the day. He
pointed out that the middleman
makes more than the farmer, and
urged that movement bestarted to
create state and municipal trade
commissions, modelled after the Fed
eral Trade Commission, to check
profiteering. "The condition of the
farmer to-day is worse than 1T has
been for 80 years." he declared.
Declaring that the South is recov-
ering more rapidly from the depres-
sion than any other section OF the
country. A. f. Lever, of the Federal
Farm Board, joined the appeal OF
the Louisiana Division of the Ameri-
can Cotton Association for reduced
acreage in that staple. Cotton" he
said, ''should be the surplus crop,
and II you make 1t the surplus crop,
instead OF your sole crop, you will
get more money for it, and it will
cost you less to produce because you
will be raising your own food and
feed stuffs.
"The South is the only section OF
the country that is self sustaining or
can be. Within the confines OF the
South can be produced everything
our people need fuel, food, clothing,
shelter, and the making of farm Inn
plements and machinery"
Within few weeks, said Mr.. Lever,
there will be presented to Congress a
bill authorizing the pooling of the
assets OF farmers, against which de-
bentures can be issued to furnish the
necessary credit for extending the
marketing season from the customa-
ry four months to II thus assuring a
uniform price for farm products and
checking speculation.
"If the South raises an 5000 900 or
1900. 900 bale cotton crop next year,
we will get 40 cents II pound for 1t;
but II 1T raises anything like 14,0O0,-
600, we wonldn'tget dine", declared
James F. Seip OF Alexand ria, a cot
ton planter. Lets cut out the big
carry over. A million bale carryoyer
is sufficient-iust enough to make one
season meet the next. The big carry
over gives the speculators a strangle
hold on the farmers, and keeps him
In his present deplorable position.
Diversification and reduction are
synonymous"
The expenses OF the congress were
betrayed by the merchants OF New
Orleans who say they are doing all
they can to improve the understand
Ing between city and country.
