Death to Rats.

A study of barium carbonate as a
rat poison, made by the United States
Department of Agriculture, indicates
that a 20 per cent mixture with food
makes a satisfactory bait. With this
percentage a rat ordinarily needs to
eat only one-third or three-eighths Of
a meal of average size to get a fatal
dose. 1t was found that with this
dose many of the rats poisoned died
within "a hours, though an occasional
rat was found which survived an ever
larger amount, thus indicating that 100
per cent mortality is not to be expect
ed In any a
A summary Of results of expert
ments conducted by various persons
with a view to determining the dead
illness of barium to different animals
shows the fallacy of the assumption
that barium is poisonous only to rats.
1t is pointed out that the fatal dose Of
barium per pound tends to decrease
relatively as the size Of the animal In
creases, and that a bait calculated to
be fatal to rats may be assumed to be
more or less dangerous to small do
nestle animals also.

Efforts to Enforce Law.

"The attempted ridicule by a num-
Der of newspapers In this state hurled
at State Revenue Agent Robertson
o suing out an injunction against
165 fire insurance companies that
threatened to withdraw from Missis-
sippi on account OF the suits filed by
the revenue agent charging violations
OF the antitrust laws, will find small
consolation in the fact that the Chan
Gerry Court OF Kinds County has just
made the injunction permanent, and
VIII not allow the companies to with
draw until the cases are settled. Now
we may expect to see some of these
same papers open up their flood gates
of abuse against the Court as they
have been doing against the revenue
agent. But all such v~ilification avail
eth naught. The matter must be set-
tied by the courts. Either the rev.
enue agent Is right or the companies
are not guilty. The welldefined cam
paign of a~nti-revenue agent propa-
ganda launched against Mr.. Robert

upon the masses, which it was intend

RANKS As GREAT KEN fUckIAA
Memory Of Judge W. A.yfyosts win
Linser Long With the Men OF the
Bench and Bar.

The passing of Judge w: H. yost
takes from Kentucky life one of its
most picturesque characters. He was
noted as the biggest lawyer In the
state, a man of giant stature. taller
by several inches than the late Ollie
James, and weighing $50 pounds.
He was a delightful. raconteur, and
one of his favorite stories was about
getting his shoes b~lackened at q Louis
vile stand. The sinner was inclined
to be loquacious. and the judge want
ed to read his newspaper, so he made
a sign pretending to DO deaf and
dumb.
The bootblack brushed away at his
considerable task awhile and then re-
marked to a nearby newsboy;
Ill OF a big -, alnt he?"
But while the Judge enjoyed that
sort Of thing, he resented impertlnent
curiosity.
Once In the lobby Of Hotel Latham,
a local lawyer introduced a fellow
citizen, who gave the big man the once
over and inquired:
"Say, judge, how tall r you, any
how?y. 5&s.s~~
Judge Yost glowered down on his
questioner, and snapped:
"Has your wife false teeth?"
We shall meyer forget a scene In
County Judge Polk Cansler's court
years ago when the examining trial
of a number of suspects In the Bub
Coffey murder case was being held.
After hearing the testimony, Judge
Cansler announced that he would hold
all the defendants to the grand jury.
Up rose Judge Yost, then attorney.
"On what grounds, please, are these
men denied their freedom?" he thun-
dered.
"Well," said Judge Cansler, not a
bit awed. "Just for general running
around"

Phillip, Jr., two and one-half years
old, is very fond of having his mother
sing TO him as she rocks him to sleep.
She has told him q number of Bible
stories, the usual number of Mother

dear to children. He often requests
her to sing about Mother Hubbard"
of "Jack Spratt," or some other equally
well-known character, and she will

Historic Tennis Balls.

A historical fact that was impressed
upon the minds of children of q past
generation was that a certain king
was playing tennis when he was told
he had to ascend the throne of Eng
land. 1t may bring back to some the
remembrance of schoolroom days when
they hear that two tennis balls have
been found among the dust and cob
webs of the old rafters of Westmin-
ster hall. They are said to date back
to the time of Henry VIII, who was
an ardent player Of the "royal game"
The balls are made Of leather and
stuffed with human hair, all balls Of
an early period being made In that
way. The leather has burst In several
places and faint traces of white may
be seen on the surface. The balls are
not both the same size. n being two
and a half inches in diameter and the
other only an inch and a half. Whom
was King Harry playing with, and did
he feel impatient when he sent the
balls spinning into the rafters? II
was not lawn tennis then.-Christian

Some weeks ago the Kinds County
Gazette observed that Mississippi his
tory seemed to be repeating itself;
that the lamented Writ Adams, who as
state revenue agent, through the
courts, forced corporate tax dodgers
and violators Of the antitrust laws to
cough up to the tune of millions OF
dollars, thereby l~essening the bur
dens of honest taxpayers, was abused
and ~slandered, just az Stokes Robert
son, the present state revenue agent,
is being abused and slandered by GER,
tain newspapers of corporate ilk, led
by that insolent organ of bloated plu-i
%tocracy, the Wall Street Journal Of,
New York City-the paper that de-
nounced, in this connection, the laws
of Mississippi az fool laws" char
them as Ignorant" stigmatized the
efforts Of q sworn state official to-
have the courts enforce them az
''bolshevistic," and brazenly demands
their repeal" Corporation newspa-
pers, twenty-five years ago, literally
prosecuted State Revenue Agent
Adams into an official life tenure:
made him so popular with the great
taxpaying masses-"who loved him
for the enemies he had made"-that
no man had the hardihood to contest
nominations with Mr.. Adams, who
died in the revenue agents office in
1914, honored and revered by the peo-
ple as a public b~enefactOr.
The courts-and flor justice all
places a temple and seasons summer
sustained Revenue Agent Adams,
Just as they are sustaining Revenue
Agent Robertson, and we sincerely
hope that the expectations of the
esteemed Beacon that certain news
papers will now open their flood gates
of abuse on the courts as they have
done on Revenue Agent Robertson"
will not materialize. The people Of
Mississippi elect their Judges and
Chancellors and AN attack on the
courts by newspapers would be an at
tack on the sovereign people.
In this connection the following
time honored quotation seems not In
appropriate:
"Here shall the press the peoples
rights maintain;
Unawed by influence and unbribed by
gain;
Here patriot truth her glorious pre-
cepts draw;
Pledged to religion, liberty and law"

Z AN INDUSTRIAL TRAINING SCHOOL
For Greene County Negroes.

We feel that our white friends oil
Greene County, as we'll as the local
community of McLair. should know
what the colored people are striving
for, in trying to build a substantial
school building here. To build the
building we are now struggling tor;
first, it will give us a thousand dol
lars and from the Rosenwa,d Funds,
managed by the state department OF
Education. The department of ed
ucation further off .rs TO give us the
yearly assistance of 5000 TO pay the
salary OF a home Science Teacher to
teach cooking, sewing and household
work to the girls, and extend other
aid to teach the boys simple farming
gardening, carp ntry and black
smith shop practice. In a word, this
viii be the industrial school ofG reene
county for the training of Negroes.
Aside from this. as an Industrial
center, tt ere will be kept in this
school y register Of the available
Negro labor in the county, aud the
Industries employing negro labor.
The principal of the school will keep
in close touch with these. SO that
any moment any person desires help,
or IA Iaborer desires work, the labor
err and the employer can come in
touch with each other by making
this known 10 the principal. This
will make a convenience that will
keep the best labor of the county al
ways available
70 perfect this plan there must be
raised at once, One thousand dollars
(s1, GOO. 00) by the c0lored people al d
their friends, to pay The contractor
ard help equip the building; and
shops that are soon to be erected.
THIS amount must be raised in addi-
lion to the Rosenwald help from the
State. That the money raised NAV
be properly and economically spent,
we have an advisory COMMITTEES com
posed of the County Supt. of Educa-
ton and Mr.. Ben Gre n, a local bus
mess man of the Colmer Green Lum-
Der Co. Mr.. Green is a large en-
ployer OF the negro labor in the
county and community. This com
mittee will have an oversight of the
school, and recommend to the color
e1 trustees aud principll any mat
tiers pertaining to management, f.
nance and policy.
White friends throughout the
county, and All interested in the
real true and proper development Of
Greene County are asked TO contrib.
ute to raising this much needed
Thousand Dollars that the work may
be perfected. The Negroes them
selves have raised a $1,000 10 money
and labor, besides have made ar
engagements to secure every piece of
lumber to erect the building. Many
of their best givers are those having
neither children or relatives to be
benefited by it. The teachers are

ries, we ask that every friend Of pro-
gress and uplift may give to this
worthy effort.

ing manager of the Minnesota Elec-

coed him. To this request the Off
Gals of the company have given ia
vorable consideration and this coup
led with Mr.. Swanson's satisfactory
management, have secured for him
the responsible position to which he
has been appointed.
Mr.. Swanson has been connected
with the Minnesota Electric Light &
Power company in Bemidji since Oc-
tober, 1920.
