TO FORM COW TEST
ING ASSOCIATION
Specialists and County Agents
to Canvass Lincoln and
COpiah Counties.

During the week of April oath to
April 2Sth inclusive, Messrs. L. A.
Higgins, Dairy Husbandman; H. c.
Ferguson, Dairy Husbandman; E. c.
McReynolds and Henry Legett, Coun-
ty Agents will conduct a campaign
for COW testing association. Dali
rymen of Copiah and Lincoln coun-
ties will be visited and association
work will be thoroughly explained
to each dairyman. After the dairy
men have been visited, a general
meeting will be called for organiza-
tion if a sufficient number of cows
have been listed for an association.
The purpose of cow testing as
sociation is to get dairymen to work
+ ing together to learn more about
their COWS, to put their dairy bust
ness on a more efficient basis and to
increase the profits for the money in
vested. The dairy business in Co.
piah and Lincoln counties is far e.
nough advanced for some real con-
structive dairy work to be done. We
need to make a real business out of
our dairy work and learn to produce
milk at the least possible cost. Some
dairymen are producing milk at less
than half what it costs other dairy
men to produce milk.
The advantages of an association
are:-
/. Boarder cows are detected and
weeded out of the herd.
2. Increases your net profits.
8. Builds up a higher producing
herd.
4. Enables you to feed more eco
nomically.
5. Tells you the real value of
your bull.
6. Promotes cooperation in buy
ing feed, buying and selling cattle,
and developes community spirit
7. Creates more interest and
pleasure in dairying.
8. Tells you whether you are
making or losing money.
Association members who have
tried the association long enough to
know, say: "I am making three times
| as much net profit from twelve COWS
as I formerly made from eighteen"
Through the association I have saw
ed one third Of my feed bill" "The
association has returned over 500
per cent on what it has cost me-"
''I am perfectly astonished at the
results. I thought had a good herd
of butter cows, but have found many
of them worse than worthless"
A great many dairy cows in the
two counties are much worse than
worthless, yet they are being milked
daily and are pulling down the net
profit of the herd We need to get
rid of our boarder cows and take
better care of our good cows.

County Agent.

Committee Delays Date of Elec-
tiCn 60 Days-Appeal is
Taken.

After the political breeze of
Thursday another swirl was started
yesterday when petition was circu-
lated asking "for the public good of
the city, that the City Democratic
Executive Committee meet with cit
izens at 400 p. m. at the City Hail.
This petition was signed by about
so citizens and eliminated in the
meeting held, its object being consid-
GRAFTON of a change of the dates as
originally set for the holding Of the
municipal primaries. These dates
had been set for May % and May 80
for the holding of the first and sec
ond primaries, respectively. Today
was also set as the limit for entries
for any candidate getting his name
on the official ballot.
Much discussion, pro and con, was
INDUCED in at the meeting as to the
advisability as we'll as the legality
of changing the date after it had al
ready been set and officially declar-
ed, some of the discussion being
rather pointed and personal between
some of the participants; but the
committee in its decision decided
that the date could be changed and
postponed and set the date of the
primaries sixty days later than first
announced.
1t is generally conceded on the
streets that the city's election this
year will result in a battle royal be-
tween the incumbent administration
all members of which will be offer
ing for reelection and other citizens
who oppose the reelection of some,
if not all, of those who have been
serving during the present admins
tration.
In discussions over the culmina-
tion of political events of the city
words are not minced by the most
ardent supporters of the Gins" and
"outs" as they are termed, and it re-
mains to be seen what will be the
final elimination of fractional poll
tics" in Brookhaven's affairs.
Those who do not agree with the
decision of the City Committee in
changing the dates of the primaries
after they had been set are appealing
to the Attorney General of the State
for an opinion, claiming that the
committe had no authority to change
the date and also citing the fact that
the change made was illegal there
being only so signers on the petition
instead of a majority of voters call
ing for action, while it is foreseen
there will be about 100 voters par
ticipating in the primaries.
These figures are arrived at by the
fact that there we're 677 voters par
ticipating in the last city election.
The addition of the women's vote
this year will increase the ballots at
least to 100 it is apprehended.

COPIAH HAS BLUES
OVER TRUCK OUTLOOK
so Civil and so Criminal Cases
in Capitalization Case
Up This Term.

Hazlehurst, Miss. = Lawyers and
court officials have set the docket
for circuit court to start April "a.
Eighty civil and more than 60 cri-
minal cases will be heard. Judge
Miller says he will clean the jails
of their overfiowing population. The
number of criminal cases is a re-
cord-breaker. They include two for
murder, Milton Drury and Monroe
Hall.
Drury, son of Ada Drury Con-
verse, will be tried for numbering his
mother near here, and burning her
body after robbing her January IL.
Drury's relatives are standing behind
him, asserting he is not guilty of the
atrocious murder.
The case of Monroe Hall is at
tracing attention because he has
hundreds of prominent relatives in
the county, as has his alleged vic
tim, Davis Middleton. Hall is charg-
ed with having killed Middleton on
the road near Hazlehurst in March,
because of alleged improper remarks
made by Middleton of Mrs. Hall "a
bout a year or so ago.
DR.. S. C. Caldwell and A. E. Aims
worth have been selected members of
the Hazlehurst school board for a
year, beginning August /. DR.. Cald-
we'll has been pastor of the local
Presbyterian church for 80 years and
Mr.. Ainsworth has lived here all his
life. They have big task ahead
of them when they meet to elect
teachers for the coming term. The
school principal and all of his as
sistants excepting fve, have declared
they will not accept positions again
as salaries have been cut 20 per cent.
Trustees have SO applicants for the
several vacancies.
Newt Myers, lifelong resident Of
this city, has announced his candida
cy for police chief in the summer
municipal primaries. Phil Massa, in
cumbent, is expected to be candi-
date for reelection.
Copiah county has the "blues" over
crop prospects. Earlier crops, such
as peas, beets, and cabbage have not
shown up we'll. The peas are small
er than usual, due to recent heavy
rains and some cold Nights. Cabbages
have been coming in slowly, and
those coming, while hard and Of ex-
cellent quality, have not been large
in yields. Not bean has been mar
keted yet. A few beets have been
sold but they brought such small
prices the farmers are thinking 1t
best to let them stay in the fields.
Heavier shipments will go forward
the middle of the week.

STATE FEDERATION
State Supt. Bond Addresses WO-
men-ClubS Show Remark
able Growth.

The twenty-fourth convention of
the Mississippi Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs opened with eighty-six
delegates and a number Of visitors.
This is the largest number present
at state federation convention
since 1916, and the first time since
that year that delegates have been
entertained in the homes of a con-
vention town. Guests were taken
from the trains to the homes in au-
tomobiles loaned for the purpose and
in charge of a committee.
The morning hours were given ov-
er to the registering of delegates at
the hampton Auditorium and the
meeting of the executive board, the
nominating committee, and the CEN
trail legislative committee.
A four-course luncheon of one
hundred seventy five covers was SER
we'd in the sub-story Of the Methodist
Church by ladies of that denomina-
tion to delegates and club women. A
color-scheme of red was carried out
in the beautiful floral decorations
and favors. During the luncheon
music was supplied by a pianist and
violinist of Whitworth College. A
dance by a number of Whitworth
students costumed as pink roses, one
by three students as buttercups, and
a solo dance by Miss Mildred Davis

QTY'S POLITICS ARE SET A'BOILIN'
Committee Meet Starts Talk -
Mass Meeting Fails to
MaterialiZe.

An informal meeting of few cit-
liens, among whom were several of
the members of the committee ap-
pointed at mass meeting to audit
and make suggestions as to the run
ming of the citys affairs was held
Wednesday in a business office of
the city to discuss among themselves
the condition of the city's affairs and
make suggestions as they saw fit for
relief.
Current street reports shortly af-
ter the meeting adjourned was that
the gathering had passed resolutions
requesting and demanding that each
and all of the present Aldermen re-
fuse to run for reelection and that
the committee demand business
administration" of the city's affairs.
This report, of course, created a
great deal of discussion and subdued
excitement, prior to a general mass
meeting that was called at the City
Hall for 400 o'clock Thursday after
noon by the same body of citizens
assembled
The report of the passing of such
resolutions seems to have been alb
solutely erroneous from the Leaders
investigations, although a meeting
was intended to have been held at
the City Hall at the time stated for
any matters pertaining to the cleo
tion or. nomination of officers that
might come before it, but was later
| on decided as not being to the best
interests of the city and was accord
ingly called off by it's promoters at
the last minute.
Several-about a dozen--congrega-
ted at the city hall at the time named
| a p. m. Thursday, but gradually
| dispersed as it was seen there would
be no general meeting and that there
was also no one present who desired
to take a forward part in projecting
anything that pertained to the COM
ing election the officers that are
now looking after the city's affairs,
or the other candidates who are out
to displace those who are now in
power.
Several members Of the committee
who were in attendance at the meet
ing absolutely disclaim any idea of
having ever entertained any notion
of passing such resolution as the
one that gained report as to asking
for the present aldermen to refuse
to offer for reelection, and further
state that their only idea in having
the meeting was for the purpose of
bettering the city's condition as they
saw it, 81. ~
Some of the, members of this COM
mittee disclaim and further action
in the coming election other than
the expression of personal preference
at the polls while others say they
are completely hands off, in the
running.
The city administration, as it is,
and as it has been, generally speak
ing, were considerably ''up in arms"
, over what they believed to have TAX
en- place; and discussion is yet rife
as to who and what will be involved
in the elections set.
