MISSISSIPPI HAPPENINGS
BENTON COUNTY FARMERS
ARE SIGNING CONTRACTS,
About 90 Farmers, Representing Ap-
proximately 500 Bales, Enter
Market Bureau.

Ashland. -Approximately 80 Benton
County farmers have signed contracts
in the Farm Bureau Cotton Associa-
ton Of Benton county These sign
ers represent total of about $50
bales. The quota for this county is
1,195 bales, and j. w. Gresham, local
banker, who is pushing forward the
organization in this county, is anxious
that the remaining number of bales
of Bentons quota be pledged before
the close of Victory Week
w. G. Lassetter of the Progressive
Farmer in his recent speech in this
county called the attention Of the
farmers to the fact that less than
one-fourth of the oil interests of the
country controlled the price of oil;
that less than one-fourth of the pack,
ing interests dictated prices in that
line, and ne reasoned that % per
cent of the cotton should be able to
favorably influence the price of that
commodity.
Mr. Gresham. who is himself q
farmer, is heartily in favor of the
plan, and in the absence of county
agent, is putting forth every effort
to make the campaign a success In
Benton County.

Despite his refusal, however, 1smet

GERMAN VETS ORGANIZE.
Adopt Resolutions Against Proposed
Prohibition Legislation.

Berlin.-More than 5000 opponents
of prohibition adopted resolution at
a mass meeting in protest against
legislation which the federal ministry
of economics is said to be preparing,
designed to curb the consumption OF
alcoholic liquors.
The assembly constituted the first
organized public attempt to offset the
dry movement in Germany and will be
followed at Schoenberg, one OF the
city's western residential districts, by
the first anti-prohibition parade to be
held here.
The resolution declares: According
to official statistics, the consumption
of spirituous liquors now comprises
only a fragment of that drunk by the
German people before the war. The
abstinence movement is striving not
only to oppose misuse, but far more,
to pave the way, after the American
pattern, for making Germany com
pletely dry"

the overhead cost for each article
