up, and diligently irving TO cast
an intelligent vote on ell subjects
presented.
The one thing that has caused
the most comment so far has been
the support bill, introduced passed
il the House with only two mega.
tive votes. This was to pay the
legislators their salary in three
insIallments OF 1-3 each. The last
legislature voted to raise their
salaries, not for that term but for
the next. That was highpres-
sure body. and .hey tried to see
how much they could spend. They
raised the salary of every officer in
the State. from Governor town, to
constable. There has never been
"a more prodigal wasting of the.
people is money since the days Of
negro rule in Mississippi. This
extravaganza wss fostered by poll. :.
ticiaus in high places. Now it is
amusing to see these yerv fellows
who raised the salaries of all other
officers. afraid to take their own
raise the first time they have a
chance to get it. Thew could not
cut it for this term any more than
thsv could raise it for the last term,
so they had to take it. When your
humble servant was asked how ha
felt about taking his salary of
ST. .00O. 90 he stated that he would
take it; and after his return, if his
people thought he had not earned
it he would turn it back, not to the
State but to the Treasury of Ok
tibbeha and Choctaw Counties.
The next most important measure
is the matter of salary cutting of
State and County officials from
Governor down. That comes up
in the Senate as a special order for
Wednesday the 1lth instant.
Your humble servant will vote
to cut the salaries of every state and
county officer back to that paid be.

SMALL FARMER
NOT HIT HARD
Farm Experts State That II Is Those
Who Deal In One Crop Who
Are Winning.

The average small farmer who con-
stitutes the vast majority of the g.
o00,0 tillers of the soil in this coun-
try is not so hard hit as the calamity
cry going the rounds would lead the
rest of the people to think. in the opin-
ion Of some of the big dealers in farm
properties.
1t is the one-crop farmer who is
doing most of the winning these ex-
perts say. They put their money in
high priced land and depended on cot
ton, grain, tobacco or live stock. They
have been up against it pretty hard:
but the small farmer with his diver
sified crops is getting along pretty
well.
The notion that the whole farming
population of the United States Is
down in the dumps because the big
one-crop growers have voiced their
complaints so emphaticalIy is char
acterized by e. a. Strout, president
Of the Strout Farm Agency, Inc, as "a
false impression"
What is undoubtedly true of a Ger
tain class of farmers has been made
to appear as true Of all engaged in
farming" said Mr.. StroI The aver
when compared with men in almost
any other industry in the country to-
day. There are a good many families
in the cities and industrial towns
whose wages have given them NIGH
ty scant living in the past year.
LAS compared with them the farmer
producing diversified crops, which is
true of the majority, is in a pretty
comfor table position.
1.-The high cost Of labor cuts a very
small figure where he is concerned, for
only per cent of all the farms in this
country employ hired labor.
''On the average dairy farm, there
are from eight to twelve cows and
practically all the work Is done by
members Of the owners family. A
good deal Of the feed for the stock is
produced on the farm and, in addition
to the dairy products, he generally has
eggs, poultry, ETC., that can be sold as
readily in the local markets as can
milk, cream and butter,
"I know of one farm IN Orange coun-
ty, New York, which keeps ten cows
and 1900 hens which produced an in
come of $1,000 in December and one
boy of Is years did practically all the
work. That farm had a good balance
on the right side Of the ledger every
month last year.
''The price of the land is big factor
In the farmers economic problem
Many men operating on high priced
land have suffered a setback. ManySa
small farmer growing sweet corn on
land that cost him $35 to $50 an acre
is earning more per acre on his low
priced land than is the one-crop dent
corn farmer in Iowa on his 5000 land
There's more than one side to this
farm proposition and it is not all pes
sin7isn. There are a lot Of optimists
among the millions of farmers but you
are not hearing much from them just
now. The other fellow has the stage"

The girls game was close and more
hotly contested than the first, each
team exerting every effort to score a
win The first half ended with the
score standing at a 1910 tie, neither
team in that frame seeming to show
any great advantage over the other.
In the second half, however. the Mil
ton girls displayed n sudden burst of
speed and moved up for a 22-16 victory.
The work OF Licata at forward and
the combination Of Hanna and Ellis
