GOOD ADVICE

The Progressive Farmer says:
Before attempting to fatten your
hogs for pork, be sure they are
free from lice. It is Just as unWlse
to feed lice as it is to feed catJle
ticks Spray with some of the rem
edies on the market or apply a coat
Of fish or crude oil. If farmer

nav him we'll to buy a hog oiler.
We spent months in preparing
land: seeding the crops, and IN
cnltivating and harvesting them.
The risk of floods and storms
should be needed, and every effort
nut fsrth to harvest and house the

ture. Many thousand Of dollars
worth of cotton, corn, hay, cow

lost every year, because OF UNIQUE

GRATIFYING IF TRUE

In response to an invitation to
address the National Association
for the advancement of the Color
ed People, President Harding is
credited with having said:
t'Gentlemen:-I am very thor
oughly convinced in my mind as
to the policy that | am going to in
augurate with reference to ap-
pointments, and that is, l am not
going to appoint any colored men
to public office in the Southern
states, but there will be some ap-
pointments in the Northern states.
This thing called race prejudice
you cannot down by battling it,
and the only salvation, as l see it,
for the colored man in the South,
is to fall in the ranks behind the
white leadership until he can, act
ing through Southern legislation,
work out his destiny. This is my
policy, and | am going to follow it,
live or die, sink or swim"
This is indeed gratifying if true,
and such a statement from such a
source will meet with approval
throughout the South; but some
how we are inclined to believe

without resort to arbitrament of
the sword which has at last well
nigh wrecked the world"
Unfortunately believe, unfor-
tunately for this generation and
the generations to come after us,
that high purpose of that divinely
inspired effort, came to naught.
Woodrow Wilson is at last only
a man, bound by all the limitations
which hedge about the rest of NOR

CHANCELLOR GRIFFITH
DECIDES

The case of the Sttea of Miss
issippi on the relation of R. u.
Moore, State Land Commissioner,
and Stokes v. Robertson, State
Revenue Agent, against the Knapp
Stout Company, Wisconsin Cor
poration, was heard by the Chan
Gerry Court Tuesday and Wednes-
day on a special demurrer.
In this case the State charged
that this corporation had illegally
acquired 440 acres of land donated
to the State by the Federal Gov
eminent for the benefit of the A.
and M. College. The State set up
in it's bill of complaint that the
Wisconsin corporation had vlolat-
ed the law in acquiring this land
and the timber on it because the
laws of Mississippi expressly for
bid the purchase of any of the
public lands of the state by any
corporation not engaged In the
saw mill business in the state, and
futher that the law forbids the
purchase of more than 100 acres
Of public land by one purchaser.
The charge was also made that
there was fraud in the bidding. for
the land because the defendant
company conspired with other
purchasers in parceling out the
land, each taking a large tract OF
the $4,000 acres sold and each pay
ing the same price for the lands,
that is, four dollars and fifteen
and two thirds cents per acre. :.
The defendant filed a special
demurrer alleging the lands were
not public lands and that 1T bought
the land under a special act of the
Legislature permitting the trus-
tees of the college to sell and that
the general provisions of the law
did not apply. :,
Chancellor Griffith sustained
the demurrer of the corporation
out gave time for it to answer the
fraud and collision charged as to
The bidding, ard announced that II
this charge Of fraud is proven on
the final trial the state will be
permitted to recover the lands,
and that the amount which the
corporation has paid for the lands
will and must under the law be
forfeited to the state.
1t is probable that no appeal
will be taken until the case is fin
ally heard on the proof as to the
fraud in parcelling out and bid

LET PRIDE BEGIN AT HOME

We all take pride in our coun-
try because it is great country
the greatest of them all.
But what constitute this coun.
try?
the mountains, and the valleys
and the prairies. and the lakes
and the rivers and the hamlets
and the villages and the towns
and the cities, and all of the hui
man and other life that exists
therein and thereon.
This town is a part of this coun-
try and our pride of country
should extend to the community
In which we live.
Our individual homes are a part
Of this town, and our pride OF
country and town should begin
with the homes in which we live.
If we make them as near per-
lection as our resources will per-
nit. then the town and the state
and the country reflects the
warmth and the glory Of our fire
sides.
We look at the ,big cities and
marvel at their immensity--at
their wealth. and their enterprise,
and their growth.
But do we remember that before
these cities became great they
were small, even as we are?
Their citizens saw the oppOrtu-
Mite that was before them. Pride
in their improvements impelled
them to press onward and make
other and greater o~ps.
AS the giant oaks sprung from
little acorns, so have these great
cities sprung from who were once
little hamlets and villages--often
frn~, barren wastes &c land.
But they did not spring up OF
their own accord.
The people of the tiny hamletss
took pride in their homes. and
their surroundings, and worked
to make them better and more
prosperous. 1t is this stalWart
quality of thrift that has made
them what they are now--metro--
politan centers of population and
commerce which are known all
over the civilized world.
And the root of it was pride.
Few thin~s are impossible to a
people who have the will to &C
complish. But without the will to
perform no great endings Will
come from little beginnings.
Let us consider the future OF
this town-but let us begin with
pride in the home, and the I'M
provements we make therein:
Today we are small, but there
is always a tomorrow-and to-
morrow is ever flowing with new
hopes of advancement and achlev-
ment. !.
. ,Our geographical situation is
such that we may never become a
great city, but it does not prevent
the possibility of making our
home town a paradise in which to
live. :,
Pride in the home has done it
for other towns.
1t can do it in ours.
Why not?

The organization of this Loan

acted on favorably by the Loan

banks direct, the purpose OF the
plan being tt aid banks in carry
ing their agricultural loans. No
advances will be made for long
er period than one year: and may
be extended at the option of the

At present the interest rate on
such advances is 6 per cent per

The Mississippi Loan Agency
has no authority to grant or re

Mississippi banks that are now
carrying agricultural loans can ~:
secure funds from the War FL

able them to make further agri-
cultural loans or loans of other
kinds and thus promote the IN.

all the failures in business are
non-advertisers.
There is much money thrown
away in advertising. we admit
this.
Probably there is no other end
of the mercantile game where the
waste is SO prolific.
That does not mean that the ad-
vertiser spends too much money
but more frequently too little.
He expects a small advertise
ment to bring him in hundreds of
dollars, when if he would Just in
vestigate he would find the big
gest merchants spent tens OF
thousands before they got cent
of results.
Consistency is the only means
possible to succeed i'm advertising,
and this must be backed by the
merchant. He must have the prop
err store arrangement, have the
proper kind of sales people. and
care for his trade.
And then the kind of copy is a
vital matter-But we will let that
go until another time.

CONSISTENCY

A city is judged to q large ex-
tent by its newspapers.
See a city which has newspa-
pers that are snappy, and look
prosperous, and you usually see
a live. wide-awake city
See a city whose newspapers
are puny, weakly affairs and you
usually see city in which ambi-
ton is dead and the meaning of
the word progress has been for
gotten.
AND THIS is AS IT SHOULD
Be BECAUSE:
After all newspapers but reflect
the public opinion.
1t is the intention of THE COM
MERCIAL MANAGEMENT to
make this paper one which any
citizen will not be ashamed to OPP
en- in any company and announce,
"My home paper"
1t takes a certain amount of adj
vertising to make any newspaper.
The advertisement, aside from
being essential to the malnten-
ance of "a newspaper, is as much
a part of the paper as the local
news or the telegraph news.
Strange as it may seem, scarce
iy ten per cent of the people would
subscribe to a newspaper if 1t d!d
not print advertisements. This
despite the frequent repeated as
sertion, That paper has too many
adds in it."
The subscriber who makes this
assertion may not realize it. but
he would be worse disappointed
if the paper printed no advertise
ments.
That brings US to the question
of advertising.
Did YOU ever see a successful
business man who did not adver-
tise?
You will say yes.
But that man succeeded despite
his failure to advertise. He was a
good business man. but how much
greater would have been his sue
cess if he had advertised Judlcl-
ously.
Look over the successful busl-
ness men of the country, Who are
they, the Advertisers or Non-ad-
vertisers? :,
Reports show that practically

that the President is misquoted.
If he entertains the sentiments
attributed to him, we believe that
he is too much of a politician to
give such direct expression Of
them, and then, to, the language
here used in their expression
doesn't sound like his. If he did SO
address that Society for "Advan-
cement" what he said was timely
and should tend to decrease its
apparetn exalted idea of OTIS own
Importance, and to curd it's activ-
tiles in trying to promote the ad-
vancement of the colored race by
nuturing against the whites.
