KIWANIANS SEEK TO
HELP THE FARMER
Standardizing Syrup - TOma-
toes for Canning-TO Build
Model Poultry House.

]. o. Emmerich, county agent of
Walthall, with headquarters at Ty-
lertown, was the guest of the Kiwan-
is Club Wednesday. The Kiwanians
desired to learn his method of pre-
pairing and marketing sugar cane
syrup. Mr.. Emmerieh stated that
farmers of Walthall county brought
the syrup made on their farms to a
central plant at Tylertown, where
it was reboiled, tested and canned as
standardized product. The syrup
is canned in containers of two and
bearing an attractive and distinctive
label. A market for the product was
found in New York, and twenty-five
carloads were shipped there at prices
varying from forty to f1ftytwo cents
a gallon, fob. Tylertown.
The plant is operated upon the CO.
operative plan, the farmers being
credited with the weight of molasses
they bring in, less shrinkage, and
money received is distributed ac-
cordingly. The plant at Tylertown
cost $500.
Brookhaven Kiwanians are inter
ested in installing a similar plant
here next season, and a committee
will visit Tylertown to inspect it's
new activity.
W. H. Webb, Of the Mays Food
Products, Inc, spoke of the five hun
dred acres of tomatoes needed by
the local plant. The Kiwanis Club
is cooperating with Mr.. Webb in Sc
curing the needed acreage, and a
meeting of farmers and citizens, in
cluding Kiwanis members, will be
held at the court house at ten thirty
today to arrange for it.
The Kiwanis Club has appropriate
ed money to build a model poultry
house for demonstration purposes
upon the farm of ]. E. Burns, sue
cessful poultry farmer. Mr.. Sipe,
poultry specialist of A. & M. College,
will have supervision of the plant.
This is another advance step in de-
veloping Lincoln county's promising
poultry. industry.
Henry Legett, county agent OF
Lincoln, made brief talk upon the
trucking operations of the county
He said that in order to obtain a
good price for vegetables when SO
many towns were placing them on
the market, high standard of quail
ity was necessity.
l. Abrams and ]; W. McGrath were
elected delegates to the Kiwanis
convention to be held in Toronto
Canada, in June, with M. ]. Hale
and C. B. Perkins as altetrnates.

HON. HUGH v. WALL ANNOUNCES
FOR CONGRESS.

Hon. Hugh V. Wall, whose SER
vices throughout twelve years as
District Attorney gave him honora-
BILE place among able officials of the
State, comes. now before the electo-
rate of the Seventh Congressional
District as a candidate to represent
his people in the National Legisla-
ture.
Mr.. Wall Is, comparatively speak
ing, young man with more of life
ahead of him than behinnd him, and
yet with better service to offer be-
cause of experience and association
with the people he has known nearly
all his life and wants to serve to the
extent of his ability.
Mr.. Wall is pardonably proud Of
the fact that when he takes stand
on any question he holds it against
all odds. He has a native strength
of intellect and moral fibre that ex-
ats his purposes and ambitions. AS
man of family and in his private
life he honors the principles that
have helped to make higher civil
lization and ideal homes of the peo-
pie.
Mr.. Wall has a well-deserved rep
uation as an orator and whether in
the church, the school room, the
lodge room or out on the hustings
he always impresses his genial per-
sonality along with the character be-
hind it. He is approachable and re-
sponsive.
Mr.. Wall has been member Of
the Masonic Lodge for quarter OF
century and is connected with the
Baptist church. He gave the ad-
dress at the laying of the corner
stone of Brookhaven's First Baptist
Church. He has also been chosen as
orator on occasion for Woodmen, for
schools and colleges and family re-
unions and by the League of Women
Voters of Brookhaven and the Peri
patetic Club and other organizations.
Mr.. Wall led the tight in the in
terest of the people against the Gum-
berland Telephone & Telegraph Co.,
saving around one million of dollars
for the people. He also has led
since 1908 in ridding his district of
whiskey; was a sworn enemy of the
blind tiger and was terror to the
law-breaker. He believes implicitly
in obedience to the law in all its
ramifications.
Mr.. Wall is, perhaps, better in
formed on the history of his country
and the proceedings in Congress than
any man in this vicinity. He is well
prepared to serve and expects so to
do If the people want representa-
tive conscientious. able and conse-
Grated to their interests and service.

this issue.

Economy In Government Expendi-

To THE NEW York HERALD: The
United States Treasury Is confronted
with an awkward situation: sources OF
revenue are drying up and n huge deficit
is inevitable. The Washington politi-
clans will doubtless attempt to balance
the account through a bond sale or in
creased taxation. While the former ex-
pedient would temporarily assuage the
disease no gain need be expected through
an increase in the tax levy, since we
have already arrived at the point of
diminishing returns. Wasteful and un-
productive Government expenditures,
tax exempt securities, prohibition and
confiscatory taxation in the higher
brackets of the income tax are at the
root of the trouble, and until these evils
are rectifed no Improvement need be
looked for.

dreds of millions are annually paid out
on pensions: this Is an obvious fraud.

Fashions in Kites.

In his pursuit of the sacrosanct
pleasures of eternal youth the New
York boy still flies his kite as best he
may. either from the dangerous but
windy housetop or from the vehicle
beset cafions that he calls streets.
Telegraph and telephone wires do not
interfere with his sport as they did
with the kiteAying lads of an earlier
generation, and an observer of the
pleasures of adolescence cannot help
but note the kitefying is all the more
improved thereby-to his vicarious
happiness.
Kiteliers of an older generation
also observe that the stubtoed Kite
of their day appears to have passed
out OF existence. The favorite kite
of to-day is of the pointed variety.
What has become of the stubtoed
kite and why is it no longer in
boyish favor? Have aeronautics and
stream lines and all the other techni-
calities of the world of aviation crept
into this ancient sport and made the
boy of to-day wiser as to the correct
shape of his kite than were his
elders?
The pointed kite does not need one
OF those long and entangling tails that
kept the old stubtoed variety steady
and also caught in telegraph wires or
tree branches when such things ex
listed in our city streets. Possibly that
is the reason why the pointed kite is
now the boys favorite. The lads of
to-day are spared many anxious mo-
ments for fear the pendants to their
kites will not clear distractions.
