BRooKHAvEN.

Some folks may like London, some
Paris, some Rome,
In many of these I'd like To make
home.
In towns big or little some pleasure
I'd see
But Brookhaven's the town that ex-
actly suits me.
Its pleasures are many; it's draw
backs are few,
Its streets nicely graveled; its side
walks are new,
It's drainage is perfect, its schools
are the best;
It's a mighty fine town by any old
test.
The poliee-they are honest, no
graft do they take,
It's flremen effcient-oh they are no
fake,
Its children are courteous. its men,
they are fine,
Its women are winsome-I wish one
were mine.
Oh! why should 1 leave here?-I
think that I'll stay
For it's the best town on earth what
ever you say.
It's healthy and cultured and fine as
can be
Oh Brookhaven's town that exactly
suits me.
I've seen many towns-I-ve lived in
a few,
Brookhaven's the best-I'll leave it
to you
With trade ever growing and live
stock so fine
In Brookhaven's the town I'll make
home of mine.
Its churches are gorgeous-its homes
can't be beat;
It's gardens are fertile-its front
yards are neat;
It's climate is perfect-its winters
not cold
It's the very best town for both
young and old.
And now you have read my rhapsody
through
Can you point to one word not strict
ly true?
Can you find it's equal for climate
or health?
For culture, for pleasure, for COM
fort or wealth?

KIWANIANS TALK OF
BERRIES AND BALL
Two Baseball Club Guests at
Luncheon at Inez-Record
Attendance.

The mid-week luncheon of the XII
wants Club, held Wednesday noon in
the Inez Hotel dining room, was an
event of more than ordinary inter-
est, and outranked any former occa-
sion of the kind in the clubs his
tory. In point of attendance and
excellence Of program the affair
easily set new mark in club acti-
vities.
AS special guests the club had the
Demopolis and Brookhaven baseball
clubs, together with members of the
Board of Directors of the local base
ball association, several farmers in
terested in the development of the
strawberry industry in this vicinity,
and, as chief speaker, Prof A. B. Nc
Kay, of A. & M. College, who gave
an interesting and instructive talk
on berry cultivation. Prof. Mckay
to quote his own words, was raised
in a strawberry patch" his father
having one of the first and one of
the finest berry fields in the state of
Mississippi.
Before introducing Prof. Mckay,
President c. B. Perkins read COM
munications from the secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce at Ham
mond and from officials of the straw
berry growers association of Lou
isiana giving list of places and
people to be visited by the Brookha-
ven delegation of farmers and busi-
ness men who will leave here Tues
day morning for a motor trip thru
the principal berry-growing sections
of Louisiana.
Manager Ducote and Manager Fish
were called on for short talks con-
corning the great national pastime.
Each complimented the others team
and INDUCED in friendly banter as
to what would happen when the two
teams met on the diamond. Fish
pointed proud finger at the record
made so far this season by his aggre-
cation of pastimers, and said his
crew would make every endeavor to
keep it upu.
w. D. Davis spoke a few words
concerning the benefits the city and
community would derive from a
fourishing strawberry season. A. B.
Furlow was asked to talk on straw
berries. but captured the crowd by
stating that strawberries were a sec
ondary consideration at this particu-
lar moment, as baseball came first.
The home team and the visiting
players accepted this remark in
great good humor and heartily ap-
plauded Mr.. Furlow.
A sumptuous spread was greatly
enjoyed while New Orleans orches-
ira added to the gaiety of the oc-
casion with new and snappy musical
numbers.

Time to Apply Nitrate of Soda.

This question is frequently asked
the writer: when is the best time
to apply Nitrate of Soda to cotton
and corn?" A summary of the ex-
periments made to answer this ques-
tion seem to indicate that the best
yields are secured from an applica-
tion Of 100 to $50 pounds made as
side dressing when the cotton
plants have four to six true leaves.
This is usually about the time when
the plants are "dirted" or sided. Late
| applications prolong the growth of
the plants and furnish food for the
boil weevils. Prior to the advent Of
the boil weevil the application Civ
ing the largest increase was the one
made when the first blooms appear.
Do not delay the application. The
sooner it is put on the better.
In the case of corn, the. largest
average increase came from the ap-
plication made when the corn plants
were 1sfeet high. Some farmers
have an idea that an application
made when the plants are punching
to tassel gives the largest profit.
Some years this application does give
the largest profit; but frequently dry
weather prevents late application
from giving it's best results. Apply
from 100 to $50 pounds of Nitrate
of Soda when the corn plants are a
bout knee high.
Nitrate of Soda dissolves as soon
as it comes in contact with moisture
and is at once available. 1t may be
scattered in a furrow or ON the sur
face by the side of the cotton or
corn plants and cultivated into the
soil.

here only three are on the eligible

STEPHENS SPEAKS
IN BROOKHAVEN
Small Audience Greets Candi-
date for U. S. Senate Last
Night.

Voicing a faith in the people of
the state to keep Mississippi demo-
cracy a loyal unit of the democracy
of the nation, Hubert d. Stephens,
candidate for the U. S. Senate to sue
ceed John Sharp Williams, spoke to
a small gathering of voters at the
city hall last night for something
like 40 minutes. In his talk Mr..
Stephens touched briefly on several
subjects. The frame work of his adj
dress was cleverly contructed from
timber furnished by his opponent in
the shape of articles in 1.-THE Week
ly" which Mr.. Stephens interpreted
as disloyal to the Democratic party
an insult to the intelligent people of
the south, and extremely unpatriot-
| ic.
The candidate was introduced by
Rev. 1. H. Anding, who assured his
hearers that Mr.. Stephens was a
thorough gentleman, devout Chris
!, tian and loyal Mississippian. In
championing the candidacy of Mr..
Stephens, Mr.. Anding urged the vot-
ers to select men of clean minds and
heart for public office( to the end
that the blessings of God would fol-
low their efforts and that political
strife would be wiped from the face
of the earth. He predicted the dawn
of brighter political day. He also
eloquently eulogized John Sharp
Williams saying Mr.. Williams was
never moved by passion or hate"
when I learned the result Of the
ball game this afternoon,I realized
that the crowd here tonight would
be SMALL" laughted Mr.. Stephens, by
way of beginning his talk, "And,
as this is the smallest audience I've
addressed on my campaign, 1, will
not attempt the regular address. Not
that I'm in the habit of saying one
thing in one community and another
thing in another community, but
mean that I'll take up only few of
the issues I've been discussing at 9TH
er places.
AS Bryan used to put it, there is
always paramount issue in every
campaign, and l feel that the para
mount issue before the people of
Mississippi is the purging and puri-
flying of the Democratic party; the
emphatic placing of our disapproval
on those who seek to disrupt and dis
credit the party while posing as a
member of it,. and asking its sup
port"
After praising Woodrow Wilson
for his great craftsmanship and de-
claring that the partial fulfillment
of Wilson's dream brought safety and
security to the people of many ma
tions, Mr.. Stephens read excerpts
from articles in the Weekly" in
which it was stated that "The Wilson
administration will go down in his

just bummed his way In on freight
and had been booted off with every
circumstance of ignominy. He was so
weak he tottered His toe caught in
something buried in the ice. and be-
cause he was In such languid state
mentally that his curiosity was
aroused by so small a circumstance
and because he had nothing else to
do-he went back to see what it was
that had tripped him.
1t was a neat roll of IS bills. Some
one. had lost it and the falling sleet
had pinned 1t to the ground so that
the wind had not blown it away. And
he came along just before the sleet
had buried it. Up to this moment he
had had nothing but bad luck. He
was as complete a loss as young
man could be. But with the finding of
that money his luck changed. Every
thing came his way. That money
meant new clothes, plenty of food for
the time warm room, rest and re-
gained self-respect. In two days he
had job. When he walked into the
Office yesterday 1 did not recognize
him. Today he is the president of a
bank in Dod-sized town on the west
ern coast. Everything he has ever
touched has turned into money.
He has had nothing but luck of the
best sort. His speculations are al
ways profitable. He has lovely wife,
he tells me, and a family of fine chill
dren. When he dies he will have a
grand funeral and the whole town will
mourn him, for he has developed ipto
a citizen who is not only prominent
but is really worth while.
But wonder what was the luck of
the man who lost that roll of bills?
