The suburban lady's collie is un-

cats Is most aggressive. During the

and soon a tremendous racket was

cue. A neighbor was just rescuing
her cat from the onslaught. ~ wish

feminine world hats that are ador-
able. And spread" Is the right word,
for hats grow wide brfmmed as the
sun travels north. Milliners revel In
the airy braids and fabrics that war
rant this width of brlm-the laces,
crepes, organdies and hair braids that
allow the sunlight to filter through
them as through summer foliage. Col
ors are exquisite and combinations Of
them, in pastel shades, are fascinating.
To cap the climax soft feathers and
many flowers are held in high regard.
Four models, as shown here, reveal
a little of the picturesque mode. The
lovely hat at the top may be imagined
with brim Of georgette or organdie and
a soft braid crown to match In color.

Verbena.

The verbena Is low-growing annual
with a creeping habit. The flowers are
horne on terminal or lethal shoots
which lift themselves from five to
seven inches off the ground, and when
grown in mass the plants will form
mat that in full bloom will give the
soil the appearance Of having a car

white, pink, scarlet, blue aud purple
The length Of stem and the texture OF
the flower are such that the verbena Is
of value for bouquets ard table deco

PETUNIAS BLOOM TILL FROST
Blossom One Of Sweetest and Plant
Is Most Prolific-Flne for
Beds and Boxes.

For porch and window boxes and
for gay beds which will hold their
display until frost kills them, there
Is no annual to compete with the Pc
tunia, particularly the small-fowered
bedding varieties with their myriad
bloom.
There are wonderful plants with
their frilled and ruflled flowers, which
are more snowy individually, but they
lack in freedom of bloom and sheets
Of color and are better for individual
specimens or for beds by themselves.
The bedding petunias make solid
sheet Of color. Two of the finest OF
these because of the purity and deli
cacy Of their color, are Rosy Morn
and Countess Ellsmere, much alike IN
their delicate rose, white-throateo
bloom, but the latter Is Of more ram
pant growth.
For window boxes three petunias In
clined to trailing habits which Will
droop artistically over window boxes
are Balcony White, Balcony Rose and
Balcony Blue. There are no finer sub
jects for porch and window boxes than
these three and their culture Is simple.
A packet Of seeds will furnish enough
petunias to decorate the windows OF
a fair-sized building.
They can be sown outdoors as soon
as the weather Is settled and trans
planted very easily about foot apart
and they will soon make a solid mass.
They begin to bloom when the plants
are small and each inch Of growth
merely enlarges the blossoming sur
face. Cut back in the fall and pot
ted up they make fine house plants

Quite a number Of soldiers
and sailors with honorable dis
charges who were within the
classified service have been dis
missed from the service without
any explanation. Three of them
are in the Bureau of Engraving

Oil Situation In
ChickasaW County
Judge Bradford Tails on Oil
Developments in this COun ty

Judge N. W. Bradford, of
Houston, made a very interesting
talk on the oil situation in this
county Tuesday at the court
house.
Judge Bradford quotes several
geologists as saying that we are
in a direct line with the oil fields
running from the north east
corner of this state toward the
oil fields of Texas and Oklahoma
and that most of them have
stated that if there is oil to be
found in this state it is right
here in Chickasaw County.
About a year ago several citi-
zens of Meridian agreed to drill
test well provided the people
would get a large tract of land
under leases for them. Judge
Bradford states that the leases
were provided and the well
started and drilled to a depth Of
1856 feet when the drill stem
broke off and they were COM
PEELED to abandon all hopes of
completing the well. Mr.. Dan
ner, the contracting driller,
then proposed to drill another
we'll near the present one if the
people would finance all actual
expenses, and share a profit or
loss with him. Mr.. Bradford
further states that the people Of
Houston have put up their part
of the money for this purpose
and now they request the aid of
Okolona.
Mr.. Danner states that he is
confident that there is oil a short
depth below the bottom of the
well they were forced to leave.
