The Columbia evening Missourian., 1922-03-01

N various isolated locations over the
country are situated some Of Uncle Sans
most valuable military possessions. They
do not control strategic points-nor are
they safeguards for heavily populated
sections. On the contrary, they are to
be found in the most out-of-the-way plac-
e.. They are the government testing
grounds such as that at Indian Head,
Maryland. where the big instruments Of
war are tested for range, explosive charge
and velocity.
Columbia's v~ariegated activities have
been exploited to the outside world in
many attractive methods but il is more
Than. likely there has been omitted from
the lis; that Of testing ground. Locally.
however. the testing is moi done under
government supervision bu, is free-lanc-
ing decidedly.
Two students becoming bored with
studies and recitation hours arranged a
target range in their room using %
calibre repeaters for firearms. With the
passing Of the time they added 10 their
equipment three As calibre revolvers,
two 30 calibre revoiyers and one Of the
famous swinging cylinder six-guns Of a
half-century back. Their new field of
operations embraced the landlady's back
yard. A German Luger was secured and
large, practice went on apace, the knot
holes in the garden fence suffering heavy
casualties while the local ammunition
supply houses began to suspect a Red
invasion from the sudden sale Of am
munition for heavy side-arms.
Finally. after much bargaining they
secured the piece de resistance Of their
arsnal, a ~horse-pistol. dated 1923. big
enough to lip a package Of cigarettes
in the end. This baby Krupp" was a
single-shot. smooth-bore howitzer and
aroused much interest between the own
ers. 1t vas mu1le- loading and evidently
carried quite a charge. Visitors after ex-
amining lis unwieldy construction offer
ed themselves to the "dead-shots" as free
at a distance Of ten yards pro-
sided the marksmen would use this new
piece Of ordinance.

October 30th

On October 30th a meeting Of
the farmers will be held at the
court house at Houston at l P.
M. The purpose of this meeting
will be the beginning of a cam
paign to organize a County
Farm Bureau for the farmers of
Chickasaw County and it is very
important that we have a good
representative number Of farm
ers from every community in
the county.
The Farm Bureau and Cotton
Association will be discussed by
men who know and are able to
handle the subject we'll. This is
an opportunity which you as a
farmer cannot afford to miss.
It is an associotion for the farm
ers and is made up of the farm
ers themselves. Talk this Farm
Bureau matter over with your

wells, water barrels, tin cans
etc, especially if they have
leaves or grass in them or the
green algae- frog moss"
Generally, however, they avoid
barrels, cans and other artificial
containers unless they have
grass, moss, ETC., in them.
How long must a pool last to
breed Anopheles?
Since it takes usually about IA
days for the egg to produce the
mosquito, if a collection of water
dries up completely in less than
IA days, it is not likely to breed
Anopheles mosquitoes.

able play to make the winning
score.
From the beginning it was
thought by some that the game
was going to be rather one sided
in favor of the visitors. About
the first of the game Okolona
made a play near the visitors
goal which happened to let one
of Corinth's men get the ball,
he took advantage of the play
and carried the ball over for the
first touch down of the game.
They tried to drop kick goal and
failed, making only six points by
the couch down. The second
quarter was played

kicked the ball off Okelana re-
ceiving it, and from the first of
that quarter Okolona made gain
after gain with almost every
play they made: Near the end
of the third quarter Bean carried
the ball over for the only touch
down made by the 0. H. S.
boys. This tied the score and
left the game to be decided in
the last quarter. When the
whistle blew for the game to
to start for the last quarter both
teams went determined to win.
Corinth useing their fifteen or
twenty pounds of extra weight
and Okolona playing real foot
ball. The ball stayed near the
center of the field mostof the time
until about three minutes before
the game was over when 0kolo-
ma made several gains bringing
the ball to within about ten
yards of the goal line, then came
the time-keeper with his whistle
ending the game thereby pre-
venting Okolona from making
another score.

Breeding Of
Mosquitoes
Malaria News Item Nod
(By State Board Of HeaIth)

(By State Board of Health)
Where do malarial mosquitoes
breed?
In water-in still water and in
the pools anu grassy edges Of
running water
How do these mosquitoes
breed?
They lay their eggs on the
surface of the water. These
egg float, and in a few days
hatch into larvae, or "wiggle-
tails. These live in the water,
and in time turn to pupae, or
'tumblers" which turn into
mosquitoes. There are four
changes in the development of
mosquitoes just as for butterflies;
the eggs for both; the larvae in
place of the caterpillars; the pu-
pae in place of the crysalis, and
the mosquitoes in place of the
butterflies. For mosquitoes all
these changes must take place
in water, and for Anopheles will
take from 12 to 16 Gays in sum-
er-longer in cool weather.
Can one tell the larvae of
Anopheles? (Malarial Mosqui-
toes.)
Yes. The Anopheles larva
lies at the top of the water and
parallel to it, for all the world
like a basking pike. The larvae
Of other mosquitoes hang from
the top, head downward. If the
latter are touched, they will al
ways dive. IF the Anopheles
larva is touched, while it may
dive it will generally 'scoot"
backwards along the top of the
water. They are not a bit alike,
and once seen no one will ever
mistake one for the other.
Is it important to recognize
the larvae of Anopheles?
Yes; it is far more important
to recognize the larvae of Ano-
pholes than the mosquitoes
themselves, because this enables
us to find their breeding places
and hence to destroy them.
In what kind of places do
Anophe' IS breed?
They prefer to breed in clean
water, in small, shallow, shady
pools with grassy edges; if with
grass growing in them so much
the better. A marshy piece of
ground with many small pools,
among bullrushes and sedge, is
an ideal place. The grassy edg-
es and quiet pools formed by OBJ
struction on small streams are
also favorite places. as are cat
tie tracks. They have no objec-
ton to running water unless
running swiftly. Some species
breed well in large pools.
Do they breed in such places
only?
They occasionally breed in al
most any collection Of water, un-
less it is very foul; shallow

One Death


Tom Hgdley who. together
with Lee S inner tact I'd John
Haley Saurdag afternoon on
Main Street and in turn was
fred upon by Haley, died Sun
da, al 1917 o'clock.
Tt is reported that Hadley and
Sumner, his brother-in-law, had
followed Haley all over town
several times Saturday with the
intention of giving him a whip
ping and when they finally came
upon him and started an argu-
ment they were stopped by an
officer. Haley started off, fol-
lowed by Hadley and Sumner,
and when they overlook him,
which happened to be almost
directly in front of the Metho-
dist church, one of the men
struck Haley from behind with
a stick about three feet long,
weighing about five pounds, and
knocked him down. AS soon as
he hit the ground. he rolled over
and fired either two or three
shots, from a .98 Smith G Wes-
son pistol, while lying down.
Raising himself to his knees, he
fired once or twice more. Two
of the shots struck Hadley, one
hitting him in the leg and the
other under his left shoulder
blade. Sumner had struck Ha-
ley with the stick, but when
Haley first saw the two men
HadIey had the stick and the
shots were fired at him.
The cause of the difficulty was
of some years duration. Oscar
HALEY, father of John Haley,
several years ago turned up
some stills said to be operated by
the Hadleys, and bad feeling has
existed between the families
since that time. Haley's broth
ers had moved away from the
neighborhood, which is four
miles north of Okolona, and he
had made arrangements to leave
Saturday, when he was followed
by the two men
The parties in the affray were
all married. They were all
young men from % to 25 years
of age.
Hadley's remains were in
tered at Pleasant Grove ceme-
terry Monday afternoon.
Miss Elbur Creighton, English
teacher in the Okolona High
School, who was on her way to
town at the time of the affair,
was struck by one of the bullets,
which glanced from the walk,
but was not seriously hurt. 1t
is thought that she will be able
to resume her duties in the
school in a short time.
The cases against Haley and
Sumner was tried before Judge
Lacey Tuesday morning and
Haley was set at liberty on a
plea of self defense, while Sum-
ner waived preliminary hearing
and held to the grand jury in
sum of S500.O0.

Be MONDAY NIGHT

Milk consumers of Annapolis, and
citizens generally. have been invited
TO attend the public meeting arranged
by the City Council for Monday night
at s o'clock for an open discussion OF
the ordinance now pending before the
Council, which embodies regulations
for the protection of the milk supply
of the city.
This issue has been bending for the
past few weeks. and it is the desire Of
the municipal authorities TO heac 1t
discussed from every angle. The
proposition, as a whole. received the
Endorsement of the local Dairymens s
association at a recent meeting. al
though a few minor alterations 10 the
proposed ordinance were suggested.
The city authorities hope that the
meeting will draw a large attendance
so that full expression of views may
be had, and whatever conclusion is
reached may be satisfactory to all in
terests.

offered that the per capita tax be in
creased from 25 cents to 81. Immedi-
ate protests were heard throughout
the hall, the regents of several county
chapters declaring that if the motion
were passed their own chapters would
disband.
The agitation was calmed by mo-
ton offered by Mrs. Frank Parran
that the % cent per capita tax be re-
tained, but that the society pledge it.
self to raise additional money with
which to meet expenses by having an
annual entertainment.

SOUTHERN METHOD|SM
MAY CHANGE ITS NAME

At the Baltimore Conference of the
Southern Methodist Church, which
convenes next Thursday in Mount
Vernon Church, discussion is expected
to center around memorial asking
for the elimination of the word South
from the name of the church.
The Virginia Conference has offered
such a memorial, and number Of the
Western conferences are said to favor
the change. The memorials will lie
sent to the General Conference. which
convenes in May al Hot Springs. Ark.
Elimination of the word, it is point
ed out. will necessitate a further
change of name to differentiate be-
tween the Methodist Episcopal Church
and the Methodist Episcopal Church
South. The Episcopal Methodist
Church is suggested by some. while
others prefer the Evangelical Method
ist Church
Several reasons have been given for
the desire for the elimination of the
word South" chief of which is that
the name implies sectional church.
1t also is pointed out that the church
has outgrown the name.
