BOOST YOUR OWN STATE AS
OTHERS BOOST THEIRS" JAMES
Why Mississippi Of the Weahiest States in the
Union Graphically Told BY Geo. +. James in
Speech at Charleston
(From The Mississippi Sun, Charleston.)

Corn Club boy in this state,
down at Cleveland, raised 163
bushels on one acre. Many
boys have raised over a hun
dred, and I myself raised g.
700 bushels on eighty-seven
acres of worn out land just a
few miles across the. MISSISSIPPI
pi line.
The wealthiest state in the
union is Iowa, and she has made
most Of her money out of corn
raising 38.8 bushels TO the
an average of 38.4 bushels.
Oar amateurs here easily raise
q hundred.
sWhE isn't Mississippi the
wealthiest state in the Union? 3?
Because the large income she
has had has been dissipated.
She has coined money out Of her
forests which are now nearing
exhaustion, but she has spent
tie proceeds largely in making
9o0d for losses caused by the
one-cTop system.
Mississippi has more farms
without poultry than any other
one Of al the forty-eight states.
Sac is absolutely at the bottom
il this lucrative business. Mis-
souri, took in more money on
chickens last year than came in
TO Mississippi for her entire
cotton crop. Forty per cent Of
tie fa1n4s in Mississippi did not
even have ono cow. A COM

"Get out and talk Mississippi,
the way Californians talk Cali
formal" was the keynote of
an address Monday afternoon
by George r. James Of the Mem
pilis Chamber Of Commerce.
The address was under the aus
pices Of the Charleston Cham
Der OF Commerce, in the Super
Ia Theatre. The auditorium
was well filed.
mississippi spends four dol
lars per annum per child for
education and California spends
sixty dollars. The average Of
all the states is seventeen dol
lars. And about all the conver-
sation you hear in Mississippi
these days is in the nature of
protest against high taxation.
It's all right TO make sure that
you get what you pay for, but
your taxes are not high.
Moreover, TO matter how
much you desire, It is not at al
likely that your taxes are &C.
ing TO be reduced. Just recent

gour governor and by the

TRAVELLING MAN
 BUICK BOOSTER
Publishing Company Repre- sentative Gets Uninterrupted
 Service From Roadster

$. w. Lewis representing the But terick Publishing company is making ms territory in a model 22-44 1922 stock Buick Roadster which he has to date driven 120OO miles in the states of Oregon, Washington, Califor- nia and Arizona. During the 12OOO miles of service that Lewis has enjoy ed from his Buick he has not been called on to make any repairs what ever. This car also Is wearing it's equipment tires which still show sev- eral thousand miles of service to be deriver from them and he is able to make both sides of the Tombstone divide on nigh with 300 pounds of luggage and his wife in the car.
 Lewis car is probably the classiest in the way of roadster yet seen in the district, being equipped with wire wheels, seat covers and all up-to-date extras.
 In concluding his conversation with representatives of the Southern Ari- zona Auto Co.,, local Buick distrib- utors, Lewis added: 'I have certainly enjoyed uninterrupted transportation and l am firmly convinced that you cant beat Buick"

Weave is probably the most altru- istic prospector who ever carried a pick. He's carried on bis search for a new radium field, not to enrich him. self but to bring relief to cancer vic tins.
 A decade ago, when it first became established that radium would ale yiate if not cure the most advanced cases of cancer, Weave, d mining sn. gineer, resolved to devote his life to seeking a new radium field
 Today in his home here he reviewed the story of his nine-year search that carried him from the heart of Africa to Central Alaska tale of hardship, adventure, Gisap- pointment and finally-success.
 T had little money to carry on my quest" Weave says, but from occa- sional sums earned at my profess sion and from gold deposits I un- covered during the search l managed to keep my wife and family alive.
 T thought Africa offered some pos- abilities. So 1 went there at my own expense and spent a long time in vain prospecting.
 From Africa I jumped to Alaska and penetrated far into the interior but with no success.
 'I travelled down the North Amer ican coast, covering hundreds of miles of the mainland and many out lying islands where human beings rarely had penetrated
 'I proSpected on Cape Cook, Brooks Peninsula, the most inaccessible point nthe north coast of Vancouver Is- land.
 Ships could not land there Sup plies had to be brought ashore in small boats from passing coastwise steamers. The boats came very irreg- ularly. I slept in blankets with the sky as my roof.
 "On this barren, uninhabited shore I found the skeleton of woman. The skeleton wore shoes of modern design. The woman, a castaway, had perished after having tried to subsist on mus selS.
 "At last, only few months ago, my detecting instruments showed me that my search had met with success. I found radioactive rocks at Open Bay on Valdez Island.
 q sent samples 60 London to Sir Ernest Rutherford, greatest living al- thority on radiO-activity. I have just received reply establishing the gen. uineness of my claim.
 Now, if enough other prospectors come into this field and develop it and human suffering is alleviated by an increase in the supply of radium, I'll feel my life has been worth while"

Minister. Talks on
 Ford Factory Visit

."Forty-five minutes in the Ford Factory at Detroit" was the subject Of an address by the Rev. Edmund II. Reeman, given at Unity Centre, Unitarian, Des Moines, Iowa, after a visit to Detroit. Requests were made that the lecture be repeated before other organizations in Des Moines.
 In part here are some of the Rev
 Reeman's remarks: Everybody q. aware that MT. Ford has made a large contribution to the problem of trans portation in the United States, and in many parts of the world. The first impression of the Ford plant is almost overwhelming. It has much of tI,
 appearance of d miracle, and one gets the feeling that the factory is if any thing an even more perfect piece of machinery than it's product. The or der of the place is amazing. It is the tritest of sayings that, of course, no one man alone and unaided wUdld be equal to tbe task of building up a vast commercial enterprise ana per fecting huge and complicated piece of machinery like the Ford plant. Mir. Ford would probably be the first to acknowledge that large part of his success is derived from the sue cessful efforts of others brought into cooperative harmony and synthesis."

 For fashions in screen personalities, like in anything else, change, and the Merry Bells of Yuletide have ushered in an entirely new personality of the screen-Madge Bellamy! She has posed for the noted artist, Penryhen Stanlaws, and her head has decorated the covers of several leading maga- zines. Eastern critics have hailed her as second Juliet," and "a successor to Maude Adams"
 Now, Thomas H. Ince, with his us- ual foresight and his unerring percep. tion of what will appeal to film fans, has brought Miss Bellamy from New York to California where she will ap- pear exclusively in Ince pictures. She will make her debut in "The Cup of Life," Ince's latest special production for the Associated Producers, which opens at the Lyric theatre today.

HOW TO TEST OIL

. A simple method to test the purity of oil is to place a drop of the fluid on q clean white blotter
 If the drop disappears over night and leaves no dark. stain. the cil is quite free of carbon. A stain shows there is certain amount of free car bon in the oil which would later be left in the engine.
 Fluidity of oil in cold weather may be ascertained by placing small bot tie of the oil outdoors on a cold day. After a short time turn the bottle upside down quickly and note the rise of air bubbles.
 If the bubbles rise quickly, the oil will flow at the existing temperature If the bubbles do not rise, the oil is too thick for use.

SAYS OVER DIVIDE ON
 H|CH GEAR EASY
Owner and Operator Tomb stone-Bisbee Stage Gives
 Some Interesting Data

George Rockhill, owner and oper- ator of the BIsbee-Tombstone Stage line, gives some interesting data con corning the dependability of the Stu debaker automobile:
 "The Big Six I am now driving" says Rockhill, has rolled off 165,0 miles between Bisbee and Tombstone and on various trips through the state, and has perhaps carried more passengers than any car in the dis trict. This in itself is a record that any make of car would carry, but that is not enough, for the Big Six will now pull the other side of the divide in high gear and carry two passengers besides myself. Pulling the other side of the divide in high gear is an old stunt with me in my Studebaker and l have been doing 1t since 1918. One of the passengers who has been with me and can tes, tify, is J. k. Mertaugh. The stunt that 1 look upon as the greatest of all is the fact that after car has clipped off 165,000 miles, making two trips day to Tombstone and return, and has not missed a trip since last July, and has not been in the shop for repairs since that time, it is aver aging 161s miles to the gallon of gasoline
 Following are recent Studebaker sales: J. P. Chiado, Special Six tour ing; J. H. Saunders, Special Six road ster; A. J. Balmforth, Special Six touring; w. E. McCallum, Light Six touring; J. N. Gaines, Big Six coupe, and NJ. $. Krebs, Big Six touring.
