Mr.. j, NJ. LangStOn. Jr.. Noted
GeoIogist, Among Them

The Okolona Messenger says:
Mr.. B. B. Brown returned to that
town last Saturday after an alb
sence of nearly a year and will
again be connected with the Mis-
sissippi Petroleum Corporation. He
was accompanied by Mr.. Stevens.
who was also here for time last
year; Mr.. J. M. Langston, Jr., a
geologist of note, who has had
quite a deal of experience in oil de-
velopment and held the chair in
that science in several colleges; Mr..
Tom Haypenny and Mr.. Pat Perry.
These last two with Mr.. Stevens
represent different phases of the oil
development work, including the
necessary cash; while Mr.. Langs-
ston, the old man." will look oyer
the territory from geological
standpoint and give advice to both
the company and the financial
hackers.
Mr.. Brown is a general all around
oil man who has done everything
pertaining to the oil game, from
drilling wells to promoting and
stock selling. We understand that
he will have charge of the drilling
and whatever else is necessary to
make the company success"
We understand the Petroleum
Corporation has extensive oil leases
of lands in this county, which
makes the presence of the above
gentlemen in our neighboring town
a matter of much interest. Their
promotion operations may lead to
of oil lands and the
drilling of wells in Monroe county.

now. because a few flies in early

show a deposit per capita from
$24260 to S753 80. indicating a
larger deposit per capita to those
sections in this group where people
are engaged almost exclusively in
growing grain.
The average of deposit. as given
by Mr.. johnson for the two groups.
show that the people in the dairy
ing districts have almost three
times as much on deposit per capi-
ia as the people of those sections
where they grow fruit, grain. pota-
toes or beets.
Mr.. Johnson concludes his really
very convincing article as follows:
Note the fact that although the
Minnesota towns. referred to in the
second list, are situated ON some of
the best soil in the state. yet the
deposits do not compare favorably
at all with the deposits in our
younger western towns situated in
Tertiary where dairying is carried
on as the principal branch of agri-
culture. Manifestly, it takes some
thing to beat the old cow as
money-maker.
Monroe county is better adapted
to dairying than any OF the sections
mentioned in the above article, and
through the live stock association
recently organized in this city, it is
hoped will ultimately be developed
into the greatest dairying section in
the world.

Veterans to Meet in TupeIo

Tupelo will be host to the Con.
federate Veterans of Mississippi
during the first three days of June
when these beloved old warriors
will gather in that city to hold their
annual reunion.
The Tupelo Review says that the
homes of Tupelo will be thrown
open and these gallant soldiers will
be greeted with open arms and gen.
uine southern hospitality.
There is something about the
soldiers of the Lost Cause that fills
every true southerner with a keen
feeling of pride. There is a sadness
that envelopes every southerner
when he realizes that the courage

coming less in numbers each year

voted rhythm for the cause that

Mississippi, according to the Tu-
pelo Review, was admitted into the
state in December of 1917 with a
population of approximately 75,-
448. Today the state has a popu-
lation of 1.79O.618. There has been
a decrease in population since 1910.
In that year the census showed
1877, ia. which is 6.496 more than
the present census. Discouraging
manufacturing plants. lumber mills
owned by foreign concerns and
other industries may be said to be
for the decrease in the
past ten years.

STATE SUNDAY SCHOOL
AND B. Y.P. U. MEETS
Over Six Hundred Delegates Were
In Attendance
To the B. Y. P. US of Monroe

To the B. Y. P. US of Monroe
County:
1t was the privilege of your
president. as well as many others
from this county. to attend our
State Sunday School and BY. P.U.
Convention, which assembled at
Laurel March $40. Surely we are
very grateful to our Lord for giving
US the opportunity to attend this,
the greatest religious assembly ever
held in the state of Mississippi.
The meeting was not only great
in number with over sixteen hun
dred delegates present as Mullens,
Scarborough, Lee and many from
our own state makes US realize it
was a real inspirational meeting.
Those who have never attended
such meeting cannot imagine how
it inspires one to think on greater
things for the Master.
Now, since we see that the work
of the Baptist young people is
going at high tide In the state as
whole. we must turn to our county
and ask the questions: What are
we doing? Or what shall we do?
Young people, we want our county
to be the banner county of the
state. In order to accomplish this
we, each one of US, must do our
level best. Each union should
strive to attain the standard of ex-
cellence. Don't be satisfied with
out the best. Then We should
yearn to see union in every church |
in the county This. also. can be
accomplished by prayer and will
lingness to s3yye. If this was the
case now. just think what a band |
of young Christians we would have
training themselves for future SER
vice in the Lords kingdom. The
world needs men and women who |
are not ashamed to carry the mes
sage of free solution to lost and |
troubled souls. Then why not the
boys and girls prepare themselves
while thev are yet young.
The greatest war the world has
ever known is now being fought.
This war is between right and
wrong. The great commanding
generals are Jesus Christ and the
devil.
The questions come to US: Which
side are you on? Whose commands
are you obeying? If you are not
,n the eide of right and obeying the
commands of Christ, you are not
where you should be.
Surely our young people of Mon
'oe county will be volunteers
or Jesus Christ, our Lord, and
when the battles are oyer
We shall wear a crown" as a
eward for our faithful service in
lis kingdom.
May we urge that fhe unions
.eep close in touch with our county
neetings.
Our next meeting will be at
harmony church the 3rd Sunday
fternoon in April.
Don't fail to have your union
epresented and help US plan for
reate er work.
Very sincerely.

Mr.. JOHHSEN TALKS
ON DAIRY FARMING
Dives Figures Below, Which Are
Very Convincing

Bank deposits in small towns,
located in agricultural districts in
dicAte to large extent the degree
of prosperity of the farmers. says
Chris johnson. an authority on
dairying in Holstein Tristan Word.
IL deposits are small in one COM
munity and large in another where
approximately equal conditions pre-
vail. it must be due to methods of
farming or to the kind of farming
in general practice. The figures
given in this article have been OBJ
tanned from Rand McNally's Banks
Directory. Blue Book July. 1920.
the result of bank reports from the
beginning of the year.
While it is an error to assume
that the deposits are deposited ex-
clusively by the people in the small
towns where the banks are located
(as matter of fact. a bank cash
ier in one of the most prosperous
dairy sections informed me that the
farmers were the principal deposit
tOrs) yJt il must be remembered
that in an agricultural section a
town is of a size in proportion to
the area tributary to it. In other
words, if the town is small and
prosperous. its territory is likewise
If the territory were larger the town
would likewise be larger. So look
ing at it that way, the deposits per
capita based on the population of
the towns becomes quite signifi-
cant.
The depositors as shown below
are in sections where dairying is
developed and is the principal
branch of agriculture practiced.
The towns in the list given by |
Mr.. johnson are in the state of |
Minnesota; Idaho and Washington
and range in p pulation from 351 |
to 5000; the de bosits range from
81 $40, 800 to s47S4 $40, showing
a deposit per capita ranging from
$500. 80 to So, ,906. 81 and noticeable
to, say that the town of smallest
population shows the largest de-
posit per capita. while that of the
largest population shows the small
est, conclusively proving that the
volume of deposit per capita comes
from the country districts where the
people are engaged almost exclu-
sively in dairying.
Bank deposits, continues Mr..
Johnson, in other sections where
grain. sugar beets and fruit are
grown and where dairying is con-
sidered a sideline. soil and climatic
conditions being equally favorable.
The fact should be noted that there
are towns from the same states. as
mentioned above, although it is
only fair to mention that the most |
towns in this list are county seats.
The towns mentioned by Mr.. K
Johnson range in population from {
200 to $40; the deposits range !
rom $649.770 to sS.l57 200. and

that cows at the agricultural college
