WILL MAKE NEW
 WARFARE RULES. HAGUE MEETING.

WASHINGTON, Oct 27.--The first authorized by the Washington Confer ence on the Limitation of Armaments to consider changes in the rules of international warfare, particularly with reference to new machinery for war, will hold it's first meeting at The Hague December 10. The State De- rartment has announced that, in addi- tion to John Bassett Moore, who has been named as American Commits sioner to this conference Admiral w. L. Rodgers has been selected by the Navy Department to serve as technical n""al adviser to Judge Moore.
 "'fi'o tho agreements of the arms conference prevent any action by this vision of the arms conference trea- ties respecting the use of submarines against merchant vessels or the use of poison gases in warfare, there still r7mains a vast amount of work for the members of the commission at The Hague to accomplish
 It is expected that they will go over the whole body of international law with respect to warfare, making rec concentrations as they may see fit for modification of international practice concerning such questions as conduct on the battlefield, conduct of armed forces with respect to civilian popula- tons, treatment to be accorded to persons in uniform as entrusted With that to be accorded those not in uni form, treatment of spies, etc.
 In addition to these questions there remains much new work to be done as result of the development of the science of warfare during the World War Even though the commission IS barred from consideration of modified tions of the poison gas and submarine treatment, there are many phases or submarine warfare other than that against merchant ships which might be taken up.
 Perhaps the most important field that the commission will go into, how ever. is that respecting the status of 1 cities. both fortified and unfortlf1ed, with special reference to proper in ternatonal practice regarding the use of airplanes and the dropping of i bombs.
 Other weighty matters which must be passed upon are those connected with questions of blOckades in time of war, the use of floating mines, and the precautions to be taken by civilized nations to clear the seas of drifting mines after the declaration of peace.
 When the commission has reached it's conclusions, it's findings are eX- Dected to form the basis for a proposal by the leading powers to all other ma tions that the approved recommenda- tions be accepted as forming a part Of recognized international law.

FEDERAL LAND BANKS
 EXTENDED PORTO RICO

SAN JUAN, p. R., Oct. 27.-EXten- sion to Porto Rico of the Federal Land Rank, authorized by Congress almost two years ago. has been accomplished by the opening in San Juan of a branch of the Baltimore Land Bank, after several months of preparation, with Ernest H. Thomas, of Nashville, Ind, in charge.
 Slight notifications in the law to make it applicable to Porto Rico have been made, and already there are many indications that the small farm CTS of the island are preparing to avail themselves of the longtime loans offered by the bank. The maximum amount that may be borrowed here is S5 ,O00, just half the maximum in the United States, but inquiries indicate that the average application for loans will not exceed $2,000. The interest rate fixed for the island is six per cent At a recent meeting of farm CTS a speaker asked those who were paying two per cent per month to hold up their hands, and the number of hands raised was large.
 Representative authorized to ac- cept applications for loans have been named in the seven towns of the isl and where there are registrles or property.

APPEAL MADE FOR
BAPTIST ORPHANS

The following will be Of in
terest to all Baptists:
II am requested by DR.. j. R.
Carter, superintendent of the
Baptist Orphanage at Jackson,
to say that on Dec. 4 the G. &
S. |. railroad will run a free car
from Gulfport to Jackson. The
purpose of this is to give you
. chance to send to the orphans
there some of the things that
you have grown on your farm
and do not need. There are
more than $50 children there
to be fed and clothed by us.
"Stone county ought to feel
obligated to the home in a spe-
cial way for | am informed that
we have about eleven there,
Surely we are willing to take
care of them. There are lots of
things that they can use as well
as money, and most of us have
those Things where we do not
have money. They can use lots
of peas, beans, molasses, corn,
pecans and all kinds of canned
goods and clothing for infants
up to grown-ups. In fact they
eat and wear just like we do, so
we can govern ourselves accord
ingly.
Just mark your things "Bap-
tist Orphanage." Also I would
like for you to put your name on
the package/as I want to check
up everything that goes from
Stone county. Take things to
any station.
''Will you give as the Lord
has prospered you? Remembeg
the date-Monday, Dec. A.
Respectfully,
81. C. WELLS"

SATSUMA CROP IN
STONE COUNTY GOOD

Within the past two weeks
1900 boxes of satsuma oranges
have been shipped out of Wig
gins, two box cars being neces-
sary to move the big shipment.
The Mississippi Farms Com
pany and A. n. johnson were
the shippers of the two cars
which went to the Gulf Coast
Citrus Exchange at Lyman. Mr..
Pratt, for the Mississippi Farms
Company, shipped $50 boxes
while Mr.. Johnson's lot contain
ed 450 boxes. These boxes will
average 200 oranges to the box,
making approximately 100000
oranges shipped from these two
orchards.
While a report from the eX-
change has not yet been recei-
we'd by the local shippers, the
Mississippi Farms Company ex-
poets to receive something like
$500 from it's crop, not includ-
ing over 500 worth of oranges
sold and shipped from the orch
ard direct to the consumers.
