NO SUCH ANIMAL.

Periodically some one starts out
to investigate marketing conditions
with view to. applying corrective
measures. And just as periodically
that same some one is sidetracked
or choked off by the profiteering
interests involved.
Everybody knows that we are
sorely in need of better method OF
getting the products Of our farms
to the tables Of the actual consumers.
Everybody expects that some day
this problem will be solved, but few
people hope to live to see that day.
A great avalanche of snow rush
ing down a steep mountain side can
not be checked in it's destructive
course until it expands its force upon
more even ground.
The profiteering interests, those
human leeches who are sweeping the
country from end to end and from
side to side, are just as destructive
In their relentless power, and will
not be stayed until barred by death
or prison doors.
Find the man who can find the
way. and we may hope for ultimate
relief.
But he must first be born and
reared to mans estate. There's no

SOMETHING GOOD AHEAD

We accept the prediction of IL

better times are ahead, but we would
like to know how far away they
are.
Optimism is our creed, because II

near the stability Of pre-war days
This old globe is in sad state
of confusion, bordering almost upon
collapse, but there Is comfort in the
fact that it might be worse. There
is even encouragement In the fact
that conditions generally are steadi-
ly improving.
Something good ahead!
Let us make that slogan, and
labor unitedly and increasingly until
we can triumphantly announce that
something good is here"

trains and shut down mines and all

SECOND GROWTH PINE

If our contiguous territory were
given a chance to mature its growth
of pine there would be enough lum-
Der in few years to supply all oul
needs.
But we fear that the supply will
be exhausted within very few years
In fact, George r. James, who made
several speeches in the county a few
weeks ago. good authority, said
that we will have exhausted our sup
ply of timber within seven years.
Why is it that our farmers and
land owners of Rankin County dc
not go in for trucking, dairying, etc?
Surely anything would be preferable
to following in the same old rut OF
cotton growing.
There are farmers in this county
who will not make enough cotton this
year to pay their taxes. Yet they
cannot be induced to change Their
farming methods.
Let's save our pine for awhile and
grow vegetables. Truck can be raised
every year.

FROM ADVERSELY TO WEALTH

Roger Babson, eminent economist
and business advisor, as well as ex
pert statistician, made visit Of
some days with Henry Ford on. one
occasion not so long since, at The
latter's home in Detroit. He says
that one day during the visit h'
heard Mr.. Ford say to his wife:
do you remember how seventeen
years ago we tramped the streets OF
Detroit trying to find someone who
would credit us for chicken for oul
Christmas dinner?" And then ht
added thoughtfully, almost to him
self: +" And last year / paid the
United States Government more than
seventy six million dollars in taxes.
Aladdin's lamp did wonders when
rubbed but Ford's little tin machine
has the lamp badly beaten. He
stated in an interview since Christ

in the bank-probably the largest
sum of cash that any one individual
ever commanded.
1t used to be said that no mar
could honestly make million dol
lars, but no thoughtful man would
say this now. An incentive or Gre
ative genius can create many things

Mr. Ford states that his business
could now be capitalized and SOLD
for a billion dollars. If that is true
he is our first Millionaire and the
richest man that ever lived. Ant
vet he has stolen nothing from any
body.
If he has created a billion him
self, he has created many more bill
lions for persons living in every
country in the world. The tenant

THIS SOUL OF MINE

An appreciative reader of these
talks has written me a letter. And
here is what she has asked me: Il
wonder if YOU would give us your
definition of that very elusive, very
necessary something that is known
as the soul"
| shall do my beSt-but the defini-
ton and understanding must be all
my own. | can't be asked to be right

that my mother taught me:
Now | lay me down to sleep;
| pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If | should die before / wake,
l pray the Lord my soul to take"
l have no idea who wrote that
beautiful little prayer, but in it you
will note that the thought is all
about the soul.
The new born baby is dear little
soul" The useful life that is ended
is spoken of as a beautiful soul"
And the last sleep that comes is not

BUILDER AND DESTROYER

Pickering, fault finding and back
biting will retard the growth of any
town. There can be ne real pros
perity where these are uppermOst in
the minds of a. considerable portion
of the population.
Consideration and energetic CO.
operation will materially advance the
interests of any community. These
form the groundwork of all great
municipalities.
Natural advantages have much to
do with the future success, but
natural advantages atone will not
suffice. Cooperation is an essential
element, but it never marches side
by side with pickering and fault
finding. The latter are destroyers-
not builders.
Possibly we are not over burdened
by the destroying element Ill this
community but such as we have Is
entirely too much.
Community advancement means
personal security to the individual,
and this is best achieved through
energetic and persistent cooperation

you?

STATE ROADS ARE
BETTER THAN EVER

With approximately eight hundred
and twenty-five miles of road under
maintenance by the State Highway
Department, the roads of Mississippi
are in much better condition to meet
the ravages of winter than ever be-
fore, it has been announced, and
rural inhabitants in most sections
of the State may have little fear of
being cut off from the cities by i'm
passable roads.
Since January 1st, approximately
S1.200,000 has been expended for
the construction of federal and state
aid projects, with the result that
fourteen federal-aid projects, total
ing 165 miles, have been completed.
There are forty-o one more projects
under construction at the present
time large number of which will
be completed before winter, some
lacking only the construction of a
bridge before they will be open for
travel. A number of county projects,
which have also been completed this
year, will place the total completed
since January LIST in the neighbor-
Mississippi roads have long had
the reputation of being practically
impossible during the winter months,
but if improvement continues at the
present rate, this will soon be ancient
history. AS shown by the above
figures, a large percentage of this
improvement is being accomplished
with the aid of federal funds allotted
to this state by the government. The
last allotment, recently made, and
covering the next trhee years, grants
80 Mississippi $3,27S.000 for use in
the construction of roads. Whether
OF not these funds will be received
by the state depends upon the adopt
ion of the constitutional amendment
which has been submitted by the
legislature to popular ballot at the
November elections This amend
ment would combine seven per cent
Of the roads into state highway
system. upon which federal FUNDS
could be spent, and which would be
under the control of the state for
maintenance. This is required by
the federal act if the state is to con-
tinue to participate in fedearl allot-
mentS. There seems to be little
doubt as TO the adoption of the
amendment. however. the majority
of the people realizing that MiSSiS-
Sippi cannot afford to literally throw
away millions of dollars which a
generous and far seeing government
offers for the improvement of the
highways, the arteries of the nation

DIVIDED WE FALL

Every man has his own mind, and
our laws accord him the right to
free thought and speech.
This freedom, however, should
not lead us into channels of think
ing and speaking that produce frict-
ion and a population divided against
itself.
In union there is strength. In dis
cord we face nothing but mediocrity
and disaster.
We are a community unto our
selves, yet we should not live each
unto himself.
AS a community we owe a duty
to other communities, to our state
and to the nation.

that has made our country great

AS THE EDITOR SEES 1T

Many a home that should be ruled
by happiness is swamped in misery
And why?
The perpetual fault finder is ar
effective home destroyer.
Happiness can not exist where
there is no contentment, and con-
tentment will not survive where
either party resorts to continual
pickering and fault finding.
Watch your tOngue-or don't let
it wag.
Swearing in the presence OF
children is reprehensible habit
which reacts as a boomerang to the
man who does it.
A child respects its parents and
others for what it finds them to be
1t judges them from their acts as
it sees and hears them.
When a mother teaches a child
that swearing is wrong, what must
the child think of the father who
rips out an oath when something
goes wrong!
Control your cussing-or don't

and progressive, and prosperous be-
yond any other country upon which
the sun shines.
1t is the same community Of In
terests that will build up this town
and our countryside If we employ
it in our business and social life.
No nation today can live entirely
unto itself and continue prosperous
as the years roll by. No state car
do 1t, and neither can any city, OF
town, or individual.
We must harmonize our differences
for the public good and then work
together for the advancement of oul
common interests.
United, we push onward to greater
successes and achievements.
Divided, we fall by the wayside
and are soon forgotten.

AND so 1T GOES

Many of the Ills afflicting human
ity are unnecessary and could be
avoided.
Procrastination is their greatest
friend.
When we feel out of sorts, or off
our feed, ii is a warning that our
system is not functioning as nature
intended it should.
Right then Is the time TO apply
corrective measures. But that is
what most Of us fail to do. We daily
along, hoping that it will wear itself
out, and In the end the doctor does
the work that nature should do with
but slight assistance from us.
But, then, doctors must earn fees
in order to live, and some one must
pay those fees.
If we are neglectful Of ourselves,
we are at least good to the does.
And so it goes.
