Boys Agricultural Club Camp.

The time for our Club Camp is
July 18th, 10th and goth. We
should begin right now to get things
ready for the camp.
AS you know, we are going to hold
our camp this year at the play
grounds here at Brookhaven. We
will live in the Fair Building and
hold our meetings near by.
The purpose of our camp is to give
practical farm instructions through
lectures, demonstrations, judging
contests and picture shows, and thru
clean games, mass plays, picture
shows, swimming, cooking, ETC.,
make it real vacation full of clean
fun any joy for every boy. We will
not tolerate meanness and uncleai
things of any kind.
The camp will be under my SUPER
vision at all times. The club lead
ers and others capable of leading
boys will be on the grounds day and
night.
We will have cots and each boy
should bring bedding, soap, towels,
comb, one plate, one cup, knife, fork,
spoon, two pounds of bacon, one doz-
en- eggs, one-fourth peck Irish po-
tatoes, one pound butter, one pound
sugar. one frying size chicken, one
jar pickles, one glass jelly, one jar
preserves, overalls, shirt and pocket
knife. If you do not have all of the
above named articles you may SUBJ
stitute, but be sure to bring enough
to live on for three days.
We want to make this the best
camp Lincoln has ever had. The
only way to do this is for you to
attend. 1 am going to expect each
boy to be here.
If you have boy friend who
would like to attend our camp tell
him what to bring and bring him
along. Be sure to have dad visit
you while you are in camp.

County Agent.

BR0OKHAvEN THE COMMUNITY
CITY.

The Board of Trade of Brookha-
ven has furnished the Mississippi
Central Railroad Company with the
appended handsome notice published
by the NJ. c. in its folder noting its
Time Tables. The article reads as
follows:-
Brookhaven boasts of having more
community spirit than any other
town in the State. 1t gives as proof
of this it's $3O,OOO.OO Community
Playground, $6,000.O0 Fair and
Community Building and 100000
Municipal Band. 1t is further proud
of it's donation of 100000 to its
local membership of the Boy Scouts
of America. An extensive artist
course is afforded at hampton Audi
torium under the leadership of the
best musicians.
Brookhaven is the home Of Whit
worth College, the Methodist school
for girls in the State of Mississippi.
Brookhaven High School, one Of the
best in the State, offers to citizens,
both actual and prospective, the
standard high school course. Brook
haven is we'll provided with church
es, social clubs, business clubs and
theatres.
The agricultural lands and climate
of this section are adapted to dairy
ing, trucking and other diversified
farming. Railroad facilities are such
that the transportation Of farm
products and manufactured commo-
dities is proficiently made. This is
proved by the fact that Brookhaven
has for years been one Of the larg-
est cotton concentration points in
the state. The location of several
manufacturing plants at Brookhaven
offers further proof of the splendid
nature Of its transportation facili-
ties. The tax exemption statute, re-
Gently granted by the State Of Mis-
sissippi to large number Of indus
tries, makes Brookhaven attractive
to other commercial industries.
Good roads through Lincoln coun-
ty of which Brookhaven is the coun-
ty seat, attract motorists and pro-
gressive farmers.

HOLD WEEKLY CHILD
WELFARE CLINICS
Many Taking Advantage of OPP
pOrtunity to Correct De-
fects in School Children.

Miss Davis, Child Welfare Nurse,
will hold Nose and Throat Clinics,
for removal of diseased tonsils and
adenoids as follows:-
Thursday, July 20th-Team No. 2,
Drs. Johnson, Frizell and Collins.

Drs. Higdon, Mcleod and Warren.

Drs. Flowers, Butler and Arlington.
Thursday, Aug. 10.-Team No. 3,
Drs. Higdon, Mcleod and Warren.
Thursday, Aug. 17.-Team No. j,
Drs. Flowers, Butler and Arlington.
Miss Davis has arranged for the
clinics to be held weekly, owing to
the fact that there are so many
children who need these defects
corrected, and the parents are trying
to get as many of these corrected
during the vacation time so the child
will be good and strong before it has
to enter school again in fall.
Parents never before have had
such a splendid opportunity for get
ting their children's defects looked
after as they have now, and Miss Da-
Wis reports the parents of the coun-
ty having children suffering with
these defects are showing their ap-
probation by SO, many taking ad-
vantage of these clinics. This
throat clinic is held at the new
Kings Daughters Hospital here in
Brookhaven, and the special price Of
S23.00 covers the entire cost of ev-
erything; Doctors fee, Hospital, etc.
The Dentists are continuing to do
the school children's dental work for
half price during the summer vaca-
tion in order to enable as many chill
dren as possible to take advantage of
getting their teeth looked after be-
fore they are to enter school again
in fall. For any information please
see Miss Lula Davis, Child Welfare
Nurse, at her office in Court House,
on Saturdays.

ONE DOLLAR SAVED REPRE-.
SENTS TEN DOLLARS EARNED.

The average man does not save to
exceed ten per cent of his earnings.
He must spend nine dollars in living
expenses for every dollar saved. That
being the case he cannot be too
careful about unnecessary expenses.
Very often few cents properly in
vested, like buying seeds for his
garden, will save several dollars out
lay later on. 1t is the same in buy
ing Chamberlain's Collie and Diarr-
hoea Remedy. 1t costs but few
cents, and bottle of it in the house
often saves a Doctors bill Of sever
al dollars.

APATHY IN POLITICAL RACES.

Visitors to the state capital from
different parts of Mississippi axpress
the opinion that the apathy in the
senatorial, congressional and judicial
races will disappear as soon as farm
ers begin to lay by their crops. They
also state that a much larger vote
will be cast for United States sena-
tor in those congressional, circuit
and chancellor districts where there
is an animated rivalry for the nom
ination.-Hinds County Gazette.

CORN CLUB" SMITH.

Mr.. w. H. Smith, known as Corn
Club" Smith, talked in the interest
of a movement to organize the cot
ton growers of Mississippi into a
combine for grading, storing and
marketing cotton. His plea is to
form a gigantic organization with
only state officials, and to have the
growers turn their cotton over to
this organization to market. His
idea is that by pooling the product
of the entire state into control of
one body, that the price of cotton
will be made by the sellers and not
by the buyers. He stated that the
men now acting as buyers could get
into other lines of business.

TO AID IN SAFETY
FIRST" CAMPAIGN
Traffic Problem Is One America
Must SOlve-Long Address
es WOmen's Clubs.

Chautauqua, N. Y. - "If every
club woman in the United States
would confer on herself the degree of
Doctor of Safety traffic accidents
would soon be virtually done away
with" said John c. Long, of the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce, speaking before the General
Federation of Women's Clubs here
recently.
Most accidents on our highways
are needless" said the speaker. "The
conditions which cause them are
preventable. % cities lowered their
traffic fatality records in 1921. De-
troit and st. Louis nearly halved
their previous highway mortality fig
ures. Credit for this decrease be-
longs to local Doctors of Safety
who diagnosed the trouble and then
applied strong remedies to bring a.
bout convalescence.
INCREASE IN MOTOR VEHICLES
'The increase of motor vehicles to
the number of 100000 in use to-
day has come so rapidly that we
have been staggered by the traffic
problem, and have often been led to
handle in panicky manner a con-
dition which will yield to normal
treatment.
1--WE have passed stringent laws,
cried for punishment of the speed
er, and demanded that traffic rule
violators be put in Jail. This is all
we'll enough, but it is not fundamen-
tai. Persons who spread disease
should be quarantined, but that does
not necessarily stamp out the source
of the malady.
CAUSES OF ACCIDENTS.
Among the causes of traffic ac-
cidents are careless driving, children
playing in the streets, poor parking
accommodations, insufficient play
grounds, bad street lighting, lack of
signs, narrow street limits, made
quate police force, unintelligent ira
fife regulations.
"If boy or girl in your commun-
ity is taken i'll, the doctor is called
in and makes his diagnosis. He de-
cides whether the trouble is Group, or
scarlet fever, or what, before at
tempting to prescribe remedy. If
a child has typhoid fever the whole
water system of the town may need
investigation.
"If child is injured in an auto
mobile accident, however, someone
may be arrested, the police may in
sist on all motorists carrying spe-
cial cards, few more ordinances
may be passed, but in most commu-
mites there will be no exhaustive
examination of why that accident oc-
Cured.
''If the club women of the United
States would confer on themselves

cidents would soon be virtually done
away with"

Deprecates Drawing Religion Into Pol
itics But Shows Up A New Angle in
Campaign for Congressman.

I want to ask for little space in the Leader.
I read with more than interest the statements
made with regard to Mrs. Quins church affiia-
tion. think it is very unfortunate and unwise
to draw the denominational line in politics. Quin
has never done so and does not now But the
statement made by his opponents friends has
been used to prejudice his cause. This being the
case he has felt as any candidate would, bound to
simply state what is the truth in the matter. I,
for one, object very strongly and condemn the
bringing of Mrs. GUMS name into the campaign
And now as long as the truth is being told
without prejudice to Protestants or Catholics,
want to state for the sake of justice and truth
that Mr. Wall has employed as private secretary,
for several years, young lady who is loyal and
sincere Catholic. Meantime numbers of Protes-
tant girls have been out of jobs. Why raise the
issue of Catholic or non-Catholic?
