Save the Containers

Last winter, at this time, the Ar
gentine ant had possession of Aber
deem; they reveled. destroyed, and
were cussed. Today. Argentine ants
are exceptions in Aberdeen. The
ant campaign was put on here in
the early fall. The ants disappear
ed. but they will come back again
as soon az the few that were left
propagate in sufficient numbers to
bring about infestation. The cam
paign will have to be put on again
this year, but on much smaller
scale; the cost will not be nearly
80 much as it was last year.
There were $1,000 syrup contain
ers placed in the trees and on build
ings In this city last year. These
cans are in fair state of preserya-
ton; they ought to be saved for the
next campaign, which must be put
on to make the last campaign last
ing. Two or three boys, at small
cost. could collect these containers
and save them for use again. The
containers are the principal cost of
ant campaigns; the ant poison
syrup that goes in them does not
cost much. Why not employ two
or three boys to collect these con-
taineEs and store them for use in
The next campaign. which is sure to
come? Rotarians. Lions and the

Obedience to Law

Probably few of the people who
break the Eighteenth Amendment
realize the serious consequences
which may attend their acts.
The welfare of ourselves and our
prosperity is insured to us by the
Constitution alone. and for that
reason we should be loyal and obe-
dent to all its provisions. The in
strument which our fathers fash
Toned was not perfect; it has been
necessary to amend it a number of
times. But those who framed il re-
allied that no inf1exible instrument
which they might form. no matter
how nearly perfect it might be.
would meet all future requirements.
For that reason the power of amend
ment was given to the people. To
guard against rash enthusiasm, how.
ever, the proc ss of amendment was
not made easy. Our constitution
cannot be changed in the slightest
degree without the consent of the
majority of the people.
But when an amendment has
once been made, when it has been
ratified by three-fourths of our en-
tire citizenship, it is as sacred as
the original constitution, and any
attempt to weaken the force and
effect of that amendment is an at.
tempt to weaken the constitution.
Ii one part of the constitution can
be rendered null and void, gradu-
ally other parts will be altered, and
the liberty and welfare of the people
of the United States will no longer
rest upon a sure foundation. Before
we lightly break the laws laid down
to enforce the Eighteenth Amend
ment we should carefully consider
what may be the ultimate conse-
quences of our acts. - Starkville

The Latest Entry

The following, reproduced from

Hon. Edgar 8. Wilson at Jackson.
Miss. verifies the old saying, that
when the senatorial bee gets into
the bonnet of a born politician. he
must be either elected or defeated
before he can return to an absolute
state of normalcy.
Mr.. Wilson says:
Public report has it that ex- Gov
Brewer desired to become a candi
date in opposition to Senator Var.
daman some months ago and he has
never changed his mind on the sub
iect. The information from CIarks
dale that Gov. Brewer will enter the
race carries with it the statement
that his official announcement will
be made ON March l, and that he
will then make an aggressive cam
paign of the 80 counties of Missis
sippi and will notcomplete his cam
paign until the day before the Au-
gust primary for United States SEN
ator. Gov. Brewer vas in the city
a few days ago and was very busy
meeting and talking to friends from
all parts of the state. Close friends
of his announced on the night of his
departure that he would be candi-
date. If Coy. Brewer does become
a candidate he would necessarily
divide the -Vardaman vote with
Candidate Stephens and Miss Belle
Kearney; and with four candidates
in the field for United States sena-
tor. a campaign of unusual interest
may be anticipated. Brewer, Var
daman and Stephens are all vigor-
Gus and experienced campaigners.
and those who have heard Miss
Kearney say that she makes a
speech of unusual force and elo-
quence."

Abolish the Office

Opinion in the state to absolutely
abolish and do away with the office
OF state revenue agent seems to be
gathering strength daily, and right
~ go.
Instead of encouraging industry
and bringing capital into the com.
mOnwealth, all of the force and in
duence of the state. through the
revenue agent. has been directed to
the opposite effect.
Some may argue in favor of the
office for the revenue it turns into
the state. This is short-sighted
and narrow view to take of the mat
ter. For every dollar turned into
the treasury in the back-tax collec.
tons we would venture to say that
ten are driven from the state, which
in turn would net more revenue than
the back-tax collections. Especiallv
would this be true when all of II
went into the treasury instead of 90
per cent going into the pocket of
the revenue agent, making him i'm.
mensely rich at the cost of the vital
interests of the state. This is true.
not to say anything of the good will
the state is losing as well as the inn.
pairment of its securities in all mar
kets. and the growing tendency of
capital everywhere to fight shy of

Every Mississippian who has the
future of the state at heart. and
who wants to see our state grow
and prosper and keep up with the
progress OF other states, maintain
its very existence. should throw his

Insidious Propaganda

The National Fertilizer associa-
ton of Philadelphia is conducting
an insidious campaign against the
operation of Muscle Shoals as fer
tilizer manufacturing plant.
1t says in it's Bulletin No. 2 of a
series of bulletins being sent out to
the newspapers, that sulphate of
ammonia is the principal product
that could be produced at the
Shoals, and that this represents only
four per cent of money expended by
American farmers for commercial
fertilizers.
The bulletins are being sent to
the press ostensibly to create an in
huence adverse to Henry Ford's
taking over Muscle Shoals and oper-
ating it in conflict with the associa-
TONS interests.
III m aking fertilizer alone at this
plant would save four per cent of
the money expended by American
farmers for commercial fertilizers.
the operation of the Shoals for that
one thing alone would be amply
compensatory.
This corporation has ignored the
fact that making fertilizers at Mus
Gle Shoals is only one of the great
things to be achieved by utilization
OF that great water power.
But the making of nitrate. the
basic product for commercial fertil-
izers. is only one of the great things
contemplated by Mr.. Ford in the
development of Muscle Shoals. The
establishment of other industrial
plants for the manufacture of use
full implements and wares, and the
supplying of power to large terri
tory surrounding the Shoals. is a
part of his program.
The fertilizer trust and other sim
lister manufacturing interests are op-
posing Mr.. Ford's development of
this great water power because they
know that, under the control of this
industrial genius. the heart viii be
cut out of the exorbitant margins
these interests are now exacting of
the American people. However, it,
is hoped that congress. which, we
understand. has the final DISPOSE
ton of Muscle Shoals. will accept
Mr.. Ford's offer. and that before
another year the greatest water pow
er in America will be developed in
the greatest section OF the union.
and that one of the greatest indus
trial centers of the country will be
built up along the banks of the
beautiful Tennessee river.

Thumbs Down to Farmer

President Harding has indicaf-
ed 10 the members of the senate
agricultural bloc that he disap-
proves of the legislation provid-
ing for q farmer representative
on the federal reserve board.
No surprise should be occa-
stoned by this attitude of the
president. in spite of his declared
concern for the welfare of the
agricultural industry. IL there
seems TO be a contradiction here
il must be remembered that, by
long association and political
training. Mr.. Harding is very
close TO that element in business
and politics vaguely known as
wall Street," while his interest
in agriculture is purely acsdem-
&c. Furthermore, as is we'll
known. WALL Street" is violent
ly opposed to the agricultural
bloc in principle and in practice.
And since "Wall Street" does not
approve of farmer representa-
ton on the federal reserve board.
how can il be expected that Mr..
Harding will look upon it with
favor?
1t may be accepted, therefore.
that there will be no representa-
tive of the farmers on the federal
reserve board if Mr.. Harding can
prevent it. But Wall Street will
be represented there. of course.
That is a horse of another color.
What does a farmer know about
business and money and credits
anyhow? Ii there was a farmer
on the federal reserve board he
might mess things up badly in
his clumsy efforts TO see that the
basis of all wealth and the moth
er of all industry. agriculture. got
a square deal. He might even
have the temerity to suggest that
some of the millions of federal
reserve bank profits that are be-
ing squandered in ornate and
unnecessary buildings and Law
ishly increased salaries should be
diverted into channels that would
help the hardest hit industry in |
the country. agriculture, to get
back on its feet.
No, a farmer on the federal re-
serve board wouldn't do. and
Mr.. Harding is running strictly
to form and doing just what was
of him by those who
made him president in serving
notice on the farmers that their
sole business is to feed the world.
regardless of whether they do il
at a profit or a loss. and to thank

nancial and credit facilities as
