SHOWS ORIGINALITY
B II. S. Students Give New Interpre-
tation of Shakespeare to Appre-
ciative Audience.

Senior class evening at the Brooxha-
ven High School was original in con-
ception and splendidly executed.

peare" was the subject of the program,
and included several delightful chorus
es with texts by Shakespeare New

scene was most attractive and the stu
dents voices carried well.

the High School Orchestra whose de-
velopment during the term has been
marked and has inspired the pride and
interest of the community.

one to be remembered in the annals of
the school for the term of '21'22.

Hanford MacNider national command

Senate chamber at Jackson yesterday.
1t happened in one of the Southern

pany of hard-boiled men. The company
was lined up for inspection. Just as
the shavetail commander was about to
bawl out his first order a voice was
heard from the rear ranks;-
"And a little child shall lead them"
The company snickered. The lieuten-
ant blushed furiously, but snapped out
his order:

step three PAGES forward"
The whole outfit stepped forward
three PAGES. Every man in the line wore
a poker face.

There is but one way to appreciate
what is going on at Batesville, Miss,
and that is to ride there and see. Inn-
agine barren hill top; land too poor
to make cotton, covered with plants that
are set out and worked one year and
never troubled again during the follow
ing three or, four years but which yield
from $1,000 to $4,000 per acre. the yield
being secured in period of from three
to four weeks and you have faint
picture of what the strawberry industry
has done for our sister town of Bates
vile and the people of that section of
Pamela county. Starting in March,
1921 about $50 acres of Strawberries
were planted. This year in period of
three weeks thirty-three thousand dol
lars was received for the berries from
that $50 acres. Mr.. Travis. the man
who started the business here, had for
ty acres and cleared $4,000 above all
expenses. This was done on the poor
est land in Pamela county, without fer
tiIizer ana during an unusually rainy
season. -Senatobia Democrat.

HAZLEHURST PLANS
" FOR BASEBALL TEAM
May Employ Team Already Organized
. Vegetables in way Now-Play to
start June 25th.

Hazlehurst, Miss. That Halle
hurst will have a baseball aggregation
that will win this summer, is taking
on definite shape. 1t is understood that
Buck Banville who was the star first
baseman here last season, offers to
come here and bring a complete team
with him in June, for two months of
play, and many fans take kindly to this
idea as Banville last season held the
highest esteem of the Hazlehurst base
ball fans.
The plan of local baseball enthusias-
lists is to organize and start playing
here June rs after the vegetable sea-
son has passed. The people are too
busy at present to talk or attend to
baseball matters. The Illinois Univer-
sity ball team made an offer to the
local fans to bring its full team here
and hire itself to Hazlehurst for the
summer, but this has only been under
consideration, and will hardly be accept
ed, as local managers think they can
get as good or better team by using
their own judgment in picking the play
ers. Hazlehurst last year lost ten out
of the fifty games played, and will try
to hold the reputation for better club
than others.

DRESS WARM AND
KEEP feet DRY
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
Take Salts and Get Rid
of Uric Acid.

Rheumatism is no respecter Of age,
sex, color or rank. If not the most
dangerous of human Affections it is
one of the most painful Those subject
to rheumatism should eat less meat,
dress as warmly as possible, avoid any
undue exposure and, above all, drink
lots of pure water.
Rheumatism is caused by Uric acid
which is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the func-
ton of the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast it out in the
urine; the pores of the skin are also
means of freeing the blood of this
impurity. In damp and chilly, cold
weather the skin pores are closed thus
forcing the kidneys to do double work,
they become weak and sluggish and fail
to eliminate this uric acid which keeps
accommodating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in the
joints and muscles causing stiffness,
soreness and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism get
from any pharmacy about four ounces
of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonful in a
glass of water and drink before break
fast each morning for week. This
is said to eliminate uric acid by stimu-
lating the kidneys to normal action
thus Kidding the blood of these impur-
tiles.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
is used with excellent results by thou
sands of folks who are subject to rheu-
matiSm. Here you have a pleasant,
efferveScent lithia-water drink which
overcomes uric acid and is beneficial
to your kidneys as well.
