CLEANUP WEEK
SHOULD BE CONTINUED
THROUGHOUT COUNTY

The last two weeks have seen
a marked Improvement in Brandon,
as Marshall Tom Berry has had
the street hands doing some
valiant work, not only on the
streets, but also in the cemetery.
So great is the improvement in
Brandon that we want to urge
every community to follow suit.
Rankin County may not be the
wealthiest of counties, and, truly,
is somewhat backward along the
lines of good roads. schools, and
a few other things. But, there is
no just reason why this county
could not, and should not take the
lead as the cleanest and most
healthful county in the State.
Indeed this is naturally a very
healthful county, but our people
need to wake up to the Importance
of keeping the streets and other
places clean. Is it not a disgrace
to the towns and the whole county
for the sidewalks to be overgrown
with weeds and grass and for the
cemeteries to be mere Wilderness
es? Let's all get to work and
have the cleanest county in the
State!

HEAVY RAINS BRING
DAMAGE TO COTTON
AND OTHER CROPS

The heavy rains that have, for
the past two weeks, been preva-
lent in many parts, of the county
are reported to have done a great
deal of damage to the crops in
many sections, affecting the
central and northeastern parts
most, while in the southeastern
and northwestern parts +he crops
have been damaged to no great
extent. In practically no section
have the corn and vegetable crops
been hurt, but in almost every
section of the county the cotton
crop has been shortened some,
worse, of course, where the
heaviest rains have fallen.
1t is reported that the boil
weevil, which was, before the
rains started, seen less this year
than at any time heretofore, has
now set in with full force upon
the crops and its work is causing
the cotton growers losses of
hundreds Of dollars worth of their
crops.
The heavy rains are shortening
the fruit crops, and it is feared
that, unless they soon stop, the
vegetablo crop, too, will be damag-
ed.

DECREASE IN NUMBER OF
LETTERS BUT INCREASE IN
PARCEL POST PACKAGES

Informs ION from the post office
officials shows that. while there
has been a considerable decrease
in the number of letters passing
through their hands in the past
year, the number of parcel post
packages has increased very much.
Indeed, Postmaster Burns of
Brandon tells, us that in spite OF
the smaller number of letters, the
parcel post business has increased
in such a degree that his business
is now double what it was year
ago. This is due, probably, to the
fact that it is far easier. as well
as cheaper, to send parcel post
packages than freight or express.
The postoffice officials claim that
now everything, from butter and
eggs to live animals. is being sent
bv parcel post. This shows a great
change from only few years past,
when so few articles were sent
through the mails.

TYPHOID HELD DOWN
IN SPITE OF FLOOD
Mississippi Health Board Makes
RepOrt for June.

Jackson. Miss, July 19.-Analy-
sis of the summary of reports from
all counties of the state ON ty-
phoid lever for June on the basis
of population in the counties
shows that though the number OF
cases appears high in some coun-
ties, there is no actual increase
in the aggregate over preceding
years, and in a number of inssanc-
es an actual decrease. due to- great
er number of health units work
ing in counties of the state, and to
more general underSt9 oding OF
health conditions on the part OF
the public.
DR.. w. S. Leathers, executive
officer of the State Department OF
Health, in giving out the summary,
stated that his department, while
gratified that no increase has ap-
peared this year in spite of the
fact that flood conditions in some
counties in the spring made rural
sanitation difficult, will not be
satisfied with holding the rate of
incidenc9 of this disease in statu
quo, but will continue to make
everv effort to reduce the number
of cases using population on a
basis for estimating progress in
the work.
Attention of county and city
health officers, physicians and the
public is called by DR.. Leathers to
the fact that the renOrt for June
is a fair indication of what NAV be
expected for the remainder of the
season, with the possible exception
of an occasional flare-up, as each
case or group of cases represents
a focus of infection that will re-
peat itself through the season un-
less steps are taken to control the
infection.
Thres agencies are essential to
this result. the responsibility for
the control of tht disease being di-
vided between health officials,
physicians and persons infected,
with the burden on the city and
county health officials whose duty
it is to begin control measures
within "a hour, of the diagnosis
or of the physicians report of a
susnected case. The health offici-
ais cannot, however, be held re-
sponsible until the case comes to
their attention, so that close CO..
operation between physicians. Off
GERS and citizens, is essential, and
the health officer cannot be blam-
ed for failure TO act unless he has
been notified.
Notable effort has BEEN made in
Jones County, where 20 cases were
reported for June. to check the
spread of the disease, and with
such success that the health Off
Ger from that county renorts the
disease we'll under control. Be-
sides sanitary measures of control,
vaccine was administered TO 1000
person within zones of infection.
