Woodmen Circle.

On the third Friday the ladies of
the Woodmen Circle met for their
regular monthly meeting, and were
beautifully entertained by Adviser
Peeyey and Attendant Tanner. One
of the special features that made the
time fly with fun was the game
played. "Cupid's SYMBOL. The
Guardian, Mrs. d. l.. Furr, having
given the most correct answers, she
was honored by the unique prize
given by Mrs. Peevey.
A delicious salad course was serv-
ed which made the fun the more ap-
petizing.
The pleasure along with the spir-
itual side of this Circle makes being
present every third Friday worth
while.

THE PRESENT OUTLOOK AND Flu.
TURE POSSIBILITIES.

The price of cotton seed meal has
advanced from $500 to S2.35 in the
past fifteen days, while milk has not
advanced. A representative dairy
man states large concern in New
Orleans sets the price and refuses to
treat with the producers. Cows for
which hundred or a hundred and
fifty dollars were paid will sell for
third of the price now, The Leader
is informed
But-the green grass is growing,
and cows can hold over until-well,
until justice is given the dairymen
for all their enterprise, labor and
expense. Meantime, there is the
truck crop that is beginning to
spring up like grass and that Man
ager Mathis says is most promising
as money crop.
Good fertilizer has been utilized,
and Mr.. Mathis has furnished the
best seed, which combination with
our soil will succeed in any event.
This means "at the minimum" that
our people are going to be we'll and
wisely fed at least, and it certainly
can be confidently expected that
there will be some money for all the
effort and enterprise put into the
crop under the direction of the Farm
Bureau.
Beside this, it looks to the writer
that every planter should raise one
bale of cotton ''for keeps. He can
easily afford to do that under any
circumstances, and feel that he has
money in the bank"
There is little cause for discour-
agement except in temporary defeat,
If there is real cause for complaint
as in case of the dairymen, you
may write letter to the Federal
Trade Commission, Washington, D.
c., and set forth your complaint. If
the basis seems sound the Commits
sion will send an examiner to inves-
tigate. The offender will have to
face the charges.
Men that do not follow the Golden
Rule these days have to, at least.
obey the law whether voluntarily or
involuntarily.

CATTLE MEN BACK
TICK ERADICATION
w. w. Magruder of StarkvilIe
is Elected President in
Mississippi.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 23.-The Mis-
sissippi Jersey Cattle Club has CON-
pleted the labors incident to it's an
nual meeting and adjourned, the fol-
lowing officers being elected w.
w. Magruder, Starkville, president;
]. e. Evans, Mildon, vice-president;
Tom Humphries, Durant, secretary
treasurer; Lee Harrington, Meridian,
A. J. Tucker, Ecru; j. T. Ryan, Nat
chez; w. P. Long, Tupelo; Bruce
Lumberry, Macon, directors.
Dairy experts connected with the
government and the A. & M. College
forces and others delivered interest
ing addresses. A banquet was served
and the following resolutions were
adopted and addressed to the mem
bers of the Legislature:-
Whereas, we as an organization
the Mississippi Jersey Cattle Club,
the largest organization Of its kind
in the South, excepting Texas, real
izing the Importance and danger Of
the tick situation to the large and
growing dairy industry in our state,
have given careful study to this
question and
Whereas, we feel that any repeal
or modification of the statewide COM
pulsory dipping law of 1915 would
endanger our herds and cause the
loss of thousands Of dollars because
our herds are no longer immune to
the cattle tick, and
Whereas, we know and realize
that If any county is allowed to vote
cut from under the provisions Of the
1916 law it will automatically cause
the federal jurisdiction over the
movement of cattle to be moved back
to the Tennessee state line, be it
therefore
Resolved, that we, the Mississip-
pi Jersey Cattle Club, respectfully
ask your body to be exceedingly care
full Of any changes made in the a.
bove mentioned law that would
weaken said law:
Resolved, that this law be
strengthened and the quarantine be
made more rigid,
Resolved that the Live Stock San
itary Board be given more discre-
tionary power dealing with the sit
uation in the infested counties in
regard to carrying on the work un-
der impossible conditions and in re-
gard to certifying cattle for remoy-
al from infested areas.
I'VE take this action fully realiz-
ing the great expense and the enor-
nous amount Of energy that has been
expended already by the people of
the infested counties without accom-
plishing the complete eradication of
the cattle tick and the tremendous
job ahead of them to finish this work
under range conditions, but know
ing the profits and benefits to be de-
rived from complete tick eradication
we believe that this work must and
will ultimately be finished and that
any relaxation at this time would
only mean a prolongation of the
fight with added expense"
The resolution was submitted by
J. c. Matthews, jr., president; Tom
s. Humphries, recretary; Thos. ].
Ryan, director.

GOV. FREES MAN WHO
RUINED OWN DAUGHTER
Leonard Allmand of Pike, is
Granted ''MeritOriOus Dis
charge"

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 27.-Govern-
or Lee M. Russell has granted a
'meritorious discharge" to one Leon
ard Allmand, who has served less
than year Of five-year peniten-
tiary sentence following his convic-
tion in Pike county after he had
pleaded guilty to the crime of hold
ing improper relations with his own
daughter, then a girl of 16.
The discharge was granted some
days ago, but the news did not be-
come public until last night. 1t Gre
ated sensation, in view of the fact
that the board of pardons specif-
cally had refused to recommend a
pardon for Allmand.
AGAINST PUBLIC SENTIMENT.
According to report, Allmand's s
father had circulated a petition for
the pardon Of his son and had OBJ
tanned but SO signatures to the docu-
ment, whereas a counter petition
bore more than 1000 names.
In granting the discharge, which,
he said, was not the same thing le-
gally as pardon, Governor Russell
declared he acted on the recommen-
dation of penitentiary trustees Mont
gomery, Thames, Stone and Peni-
tentiary Superintendent Williamson.
''If ever convict deserved a mer-
itorious discharge, Allmand did," the
governor told newspaper men Sun
day night. I'VE have no guards at
the Parchman penitentiary planta-
tion, but use the honor system. Four
desperate convicts sought to escape
from this farm and Allmand, who
was acting as trusty, prevented their
escape and killed one of the convicts
in doing so. l, therefore, granted
him a meritorious discharge on the
condition that he should leave the
state and never return"
REPEATED WRONGS.
Allmand's offense was peculiarly
aggravated in that his relations with
his daughter made an operation on
the girl necessary. Under the i'm
preston that they were operating on
a tumor, the surgeons began their
work, and once begun, it was neces-
sary to complete an operation ordi-
narily classed as criminal.
Even after the operation, ALL
mand's relations with his daughter
were continued. This fact was dis
covered by a group Of neighbors, who
had Allmand hailed to court where he
pleaded guilty.

CORSET CRUSADE
IS ON ITS Way
Flappcrs Are Saved New The
Anti-Corsst:eres Want To Aid
Grandmothers

ATLANTA, Nov. 16.-The anti
corset crusade has not yet reached
Atlanta but it is on the way, accord
ing to members of the fair sex who
are in correspondence with a ma
tional organization which has just
been Incorporated IN indianapolis.
The crusade has been in Atlanta
and the corsets off for some time
as far as flappcrs were concerned,
but the mothers and grandmothcrs
hereabouts-in Georgia and other
states of the South-are now to be
saved from the menace of the con
stritted waistline.
That's the purpose Of the Anna
Lee Anti-Corset Society, Incorporate
ed in Indianapolis, which is soon to
be introduced to the feminine por-
ton Of this fair Southland of ours.
According to information given
out here, Mrs. Anna Hocltke Lee,
founder of the society, is almost g.
years old, but that's just the age
when women most need to be cmau-
cipated from any sign Of restraining
stays she is quoted here as saying
and she wears a straight one-piecc
dress herself.
For the younger members of the
society, it was stated here by pros
pectivc members Of the society, Mrs
Lee has designed a costume consist
ing If regulation gymnasium bloom
ers that fall just below the knee,
large size child's "body waist" to
which the bloomers button at the
bipline and MILDLY blouse over all.
Other Essentials in Crusade
Low-heeled shoes and bobbcd hair
are other essentials Of the anti-corset
array, and when the weather per-
mits, Mrs. Lee says, in advices re
ceived by Atlanta women, she rolls
her silk hose, too.
why not?" she asks. 1--WE got
just as pretty knee as nay grand
daughter.
Two dances a day and a dict Of raw
vegetables and fruit juices are also
means used by the anti-corset leader
TO keep young.
Why should women of today fade
at 80, grow fat and shapeless at ~
and shrivel up at 5O?" demands Mrs.
Lee. why have we so few beau
tiful women?
Because custom and fashion are
at war with nature. Fashion has
made it impossible for women to be
comfortable. To be thoroughly COM
Portable from head to foot means
the elimination of corsets or any gar
inent which binds the waist, high
heels, high collars, long dress-skirts
and long hair"
Leading Atlanta women do not
hesitate to say that Mrs. Lee has
some sane, sensible ideas, but a
number of them do not approve of
bobbed hair, especially those who
have passed the fIapper stage or
belong to the class of middle age
matrons. The contemplated crusade
is awaited in Atlanta with consid-
cradle interest on the part of many
women and some anxiety on the part
81 others.
