prived of this instruction we're it

Working For Credit A Weakness In Our

We think Geo. r. james in a
speech delivered few months ago,
tod the truth about what was the
matter with Mississippi, when he
SAID the reason that his financial
friend from Chicago would not loan
money on Mississippi farm lands was
because we were working for cred
it," Said he could loan all the mon
ev he could command to northern
and western farmers, at good inter.
est. and be perfectly safe, because
they were working for living. :
Get the point? 1t is our system of
farming-p,anting cotton that we
may obtain credit, and depending
upon other sections for what we
eat, wear and use. That's what the
Chicago banker calls working for
credit.

Another piece Of legislation passed
by this Legislature at the 1922 term
which was clearly in the meritorious
class, wss that of the Concurrent
Resolution to Amend the Constitu-
tion to Abolish the Office OF County
Treasurer. Such resolution will be
submitted to the people 10 the No
vember election this year and will
no doubt pass by large majority, as
the Office of county treasurer became
a useless wheel in the machinery of
county government when the Coun-
ty Depository law was passed sever
al years ago, as the bank which quail
lies as depository receives and keeps
the monies and disburses them on
warrants and also keeps a set of
books covering all county funds, so a
treasurer is not needed any longer
and had such Office not been provided
for in the stats constitution would
have been abolished before now and
effected saving OF that much TO the
counties.

Hines Plan To Sell Cutover Land To
Small Farmers.

Simpson County News.
Edward Hines of Chicago, owner
of much stumpage in Mississippi
precisely told the Jackson Chamber
of Commerce what he is doing with
his cut over pine lands. He isn't
formulating a colonization scheme.
or reforestation plan, or carrying
out any ambitious plans for their
use. He is selling the lands off to
farmers, not more than 100 acres to
a man. on long terms and low
price. He has sold over 200, 00G
acres already. Mr.. Hines says his
company disposed of Its lands in Wis.,
consin and Minnesota on the same
price and terms. Starting at So,
these lands are worth several hun
dred dollars an acre now. He says
most of them have been purchased
by honest frugal Europeans, and
that there are enough OF them to put
ali these lands in cultivs ton once we
secure sane immigration laws.

This paper does not take much
stock in the complaint that is always
being made that we have the worst
officials in the world. and the worst
laws that can be devised. Instead
of helping those IN power by con-
structive criticism, we are too
prone to abuse our own beloved
state and its officials. 1t is our Ee-
lief that there are great many
good state and county officials
Some go contrary to our views, es-
pecially If we are disposed to be
factional, but 1t might be that they
are right and we are wrong. We
are not making defense of any,
body, but we believe that Mississippi
has not yet and will never go to
the dogs" as some appear to think.

Leakesville, Miss, May /. 1922. -
The Leakesville Farm Loan Associa-
tion has received word from the Fed
eral Land Bank OF New Orleans, that
all restrictions in force during the
past year are now taken off; we are
now authorized to accept applica-
tions for all purposes permissible un-
der the law:
To purchase land, to provide bull
dings and improvements, to buy
equipment, fertilizer, livestock. etc.
and to pay existing debts.
We simply require that the appli-
cant be an actual farmer. that his
principal income be from farming,
and il he does not live on the farm,
that he at least have constant con-
troll and supervision thereof, and
that same be not rented.
In order to avoid unnecessary ex-
pense and delay. l would advise that
four or five neighbors get together
and make their application at the
same time. When you do come. BE-
sure to bring your Deeds and your
! last tax receipt.
Let US try to get as much of this
money as possible into the county
for improvements, as we have been
treated as step-children here long
enough, while other places have
prospered by this act.

activity il seemed last fall as II we would
be able to reduce our program In Russian
Armenia to the care OF the children we
had gathered into our orphanages. But
then came the new invasion. crops were
trampled down In the fields. live stock
was carried off. and the peasant population
were driven from their homes.
We may not be able to save all Of the
helpless refugees who are now crowded
In this territory, but we certainly cannot
desert the hundred thousand orphan
children who are now in our orphanages
or under our protection In the Caucasus,

areas OF the Near East. Last spring,
when our supplies ran low, s.6oo Of these
