Germans Apply Science of War to
Expanding Trade.

Sheffield, Eng, Nov. 18.-Lord
Haldane, who has returned from
Germany, found the Germans work
ing hard. They had put aside all
thoughts of ornaments because they
realized that ornaments did not pay.
They realized, however, that some
thing which would pay was the ap-
plication of the science which they
had learned before the war and
which they would have applied in
peace if they had not been interfered
with by small military party.
Now they were determined to be
free from interference of the mill
tary party. The output of scientific
books had become enormous. All
classes of people were working hard,
and unemployment hardly exists.
They had no money except paper,
which had badly deprecated, and to
restore their normal condition they
had found work by taking in other
peoples washing. He said he saw a
large number of ships from Tyne
side being repaired in German dock
yards because German dockyards
could do the work, cheaper than the
Bristish workers.

Farmer Using Lime.

The car load of lime donated by
the Illinois Central Railroad Com
pany for demonstration work on the
Willowbrook Dairy Farms owned by
P. E. Little came last week, and is
being spread upon the plots where
the experiments are to be carried
cut. This work is under the super
vision of A. P. Gwin, development
agent of the Illinois Central for the
southern lines.
The demonstration work will be
conducted on two plots of land of
four acres each fronting the gravel
ed highway between Jackson and
New Orleans one mile north of Beau
regard and three miles north of Wes-
son. One plot will be seeded with
crimson clover to be followed by COW
peas. The other plot will be planted
in oats and vetch to be followed by
lespedeza. An accurate account will
be kept of all expense and tonnage
produced on each acre. No acre
will contain the same quantity of
lime, the amount ranging from none
to five tons per acre.
These experiments are arousing
much interest among the farmers,
and the growing crops will be close
ly watched. - Wesson Enterprise.

7. w. C. A. in Mid-Year Conference.

The midyear conference of the
Mississippi Older Girls Christian
Council will be held in two sections
this year. The first at McComb,
Dec. "a; and the second at Winona,
Dec. Gil.
The purpose of the conference is
educational, inspirationaI and for the
bringing together the experiences of
the Girl Reserve Clubs which COM
pose this body, each giving and re-
ceiving definite benefit. Each cluk
is entitled to have an adviser and
two or more representative accord
ing to the number of members.
Miss Hazel Arlington, of Gulfport
State Secretary of the Council who is
authority for the foregoing further
states that the programs for the
two conferences will be practically
identical and the only reason for two
sections is for the convenience of
the forty clubs scattered throughout
the state. The Girl Reserve Clubs
of Northern Mississippi will send
their representatives to Winona,
while those in the South will go to
McComb.
Both conferences promise to be
quite spirited with friendly rivalry
as clubs will vie with each other
for honors on the Measuring Rod"
and in song contests. A prize will
be awarded the club presenting the
best original song.
The conferences will be held un-
der the auspices of National Secre-
taries of the Young Womens Chris
tian Association. Notable amoni
those to take part on the progrs RI,
are Miss e. Van SAINT Jenkins OF
St. Louis, Girls Work executive for
the South Central Field, Miss Alice
Reynolds recently of Panama, ana
Miss Eva Horner, Girls Work Sec
retary for Mississippi.

Gulfport to Deamnd Harbor Recog-
milton.

One of the most interesting sub
jects to come before the legislature
at it's approaching session will be
demand for state aid in the mainten-
ance of the harbors at Pascagoula
and Gulfport.
The Gulf coast delegation, it is
stated, will present united front
on the question and wage determ-
ined fight TO get recognition for the
two harbors.
The amount to be asked is not yet
known, but it is unlikely to be less
than $4,000 for each harbor Some
question exists as to the right of the
legislature to make an appropriation
for this purpose, as 1t has never done
so in former years, the state relying
on the federal government for har-
Dor maintenance. AS a matter of
fact, the Gulfport harbor was built
with private capital, and the late
Captain ]. T. Jones spent several
hundred thousand dollars on the en-
terprise, before 1t was accorded re-
ccgnition and taken over by the fed
eral government.
The Gulf coast delegation will
hold a caucus during the first week
Of the session to map out plans for
the fight.

LIGHT AND WATER PLANT
IS WEST POINTS PRIDE
Rates Kept Low by Municipal Con-
trol-Dividends Declared EV-
cry Year.

West Point, Miss.-This city owns
and maintains one of the most up-to-
date water and light plants in the
state and for this reason is in po-
sition to at all times keep the rates
for these commodities within the
bounds of reason. All during the war
the water and light rates were sta
tionary and were never raised until
an accident at the plant caused by
defective part of the engine. The
accident cost the plant about S10,-
900. This, together with the in
crease in the price of coal, caused
the authorities to raise the price 33
and third per cent.
The total assets of the city of
West Point amount to approximately
100000, and for this reason the
mayor is constantly kept busy look
ing after the various interests. Ten
years ago a system of auditing the
city books was put into operation and
has been operative until this time.
Mayor Young has just closed his
books for the fiscal year and Metz
and Jay, auditors Of Memphis, are
here on the job making the nnal au-
dit. 1t generally takes 80 days in
which to get these reports.
The water and light plant has been
for years superintended by ]. H.
Smith and he has made a wonderful
record, surpassed by few in the state.
There has never been a year in the
last twelve but that the plant has
declared a dividend.

as good as those already given.
The Boys Hi-Y Father and Son
banquet is being planned for Friday
evening, Dec 2. The list of speakers
and the program have not yet been
given out, but it is understood that
strong program is being prepared
and that some of the ablest Hi-Y
workers in the state will be present
and at least one man of statewide
prominence in other line of work will
be asked to address the gathering.
The Home Science Department Of the
school will supervise the preparation
of the refreshments.
The increased attendance this
year made imperative the employ
ment of another teacher. This need
was recognized at the opening of the
session, but, realizing the need of

the Belzoni Banner-which by the
way is fine country paper-a gal
Ion of moonshine cost Elmer Talber
his hands, his wife and his home. He
was distilling the liquor in his home.
The accumulation Of gas caused the
still to explode tearing his hands so
badly that they had to be ampu-
tated. The explosion set his house
aflre and it was destroyed. His wife
fed, and said she was through
with him." Elmer now languishes
in Jail because he made the stuff that
caused the loss of his hands, his

Successful "4-H' Brand Club Market
at State Fair.

The Club Market held in the Ag-
ricultural building at the State Fair,
Jackson, was busy from the moment
the fair opened until it's closing hour.
Mrs. F. A. Eldred, market specialist
for the home demonstration clubs,
was in charge, assisted by other
members of the state force. Articles
sold were honey, fig preserves in 4
OF. and IL OF. jars, fig jam, dewber-
ry jam, strained and unstrained,
pear preserves, peanut butter, can
ned tomatoes, soup mixture, and pi-
mentos, also mustard pickles in 12
OF. and quart jars.
rs pounds of splendid grade of
pecans sent from Pearl River county
were sold at soc per pound, within
an hour otter they were displayed
and orders for others like these have
been coming in ever since. Total
sales amounted to $252.90.
Local housekeepers, and merchants
at Jackson were liberal in their pa
tronage, and many cases of fig pre-
serves, fig jam and dewberry jam
were ordered in addition to those
bought at the fair.
DR.. ]. D. Shields honey went like
hot cakes, as we'll as for hot cakes.
If buyer hesitated, he was given a
taste and sale was made tmmedia-
tely.
Mississippi's hg preserves were
shipped as gifts to Denver, Chicago
and other distant points by patrons
of the market.
The qnality of Attala county pi-
mentoes was a surprise to many as it
is not generally known what a won
derful product the state can produce
in this line.
Next year in addition to the good
things mentioned, Mrs. Eldred hopes
to have many jars of pear honey
from southeast Mississippi and pc
cans enough to supply all the would
be purchasers who were disappoint-
ed this year.
The club members who sent goods
to be sold are very appreciative of
the patronage given them and feel
encouraged to produce more for sale
next year.-Miss. Demonstration "a.

time arts and graces to make the

attraction and pleasure that it was
to about forty little guests-all "a
bout the age of their popular little
hostess.
One of the big brothers was San
ia Claus with his pack of filled stock
ings-one for each participant-and
the joy of receiving was a delight
even to older friends present.
Games and dancing and story tell
ing occupied the bright hours re-
gardless of the rain and darkness
outside.
Cream and fruit were served in
addition to the confections that fill
ed the stockings. The afternoon was
an ideal one for typical children's
party at the Christmas season and
will no doubt be cherished as one of
childhood's happiest memories by
each little guest.

spent ten days in Boston in the
Massachusetts, biological laboratory
in the biggest state laboratory in the
world at Albany, and visited the

and biological laboratories in New

DR.. ,Stingily is ardent in his zeal
to wipe out the malignant diseases
which are prevalent in this state
with an appropriation of $4,000"
said DR.. Stingily, II could bring
return to this state of a quarter OF
million dollars-and guarantee It,
too. We could manufacture all the
serum for the treatment of typhoid
diphtheria, rabies and smallpox
which is required in the state and
completely fill the demand which we
ere unable to meet now. These dis
eases ought to be entirely eliminated
they can be eliminated, and be-
lieve they will be within the period
of ten years. If we had adequate
laboratory equipment we could man
ufacture the anti-toxins ourselves
which are being purchased now al

chemical plants. This would great.
