PLANS UNDER WAY
FOR NEXT SUMMERS
TRAINING CAMPS
Elaborate Plans Now Under Way for
Continuance of Government Sum-
mer Camps for Young Men SO
Popular for Last Two Years.

Word has been received from Capt
Donoven Yeuell, Z. S. A. Acting Of
ficer of the Fourth Corps Area
Alabama, Florida, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Louisiana, Missis-
sippi and Tennessee, that elaborate
plans are now under way for the con-
tinuance Of the government summer
camps for young men which proved
so popular last summer and the sum
mer before. Nearly three thousand
young men attended these camps
last year, some at Fort Barrancas,
Fla, and some at Camp Mcclellan,
near Admission, Ala. In addition to
these, there will be CAMP at Fort
Bragg, N c., this summer.
The branches of instruction offer
ed may be slightly different from
those of hast year, but in the main
will be in the same branches, which
includes Infantry, Cavalry. Field Ar
tillery. Engineers and Coast Artil-
lery. The courses offered include a
basic Red Course, Adanced Red
Course, White Course and the Blue
Course.
The age limits are the same as
for last year, II to % for the two
Red Courses, Is to 26 for the White
Course, and 10 to 81 for the Blue
Course. These age limits do not ap-
ply to those who attended a Citizens
Military Training Camp in 1921.
Veterans of the World War may be
accepted up to 80 years of age.
1t is important that those wish
ing to attend these camps this sum-
mer will send in their applications
ut once, stating their date of birth
and former military training of any
kind

Home Demonstration Agent
for Rankin County.
For several years we have
been without this import
ant work, and other coun-
ties having availed them
selves of the government
aid given, have forged ahead
in giving the girls and house
wives better rural and home
training.
In many counties, the girls are
earning enough money from their
club work to pay their way through
high school and college. The money
they earn in this work is an inn
pOrtant matter to them, for many
of them would be without an educa-
tiOn if it were not for what they
earn themselves. Besides this, they
learn the basic principles of~|the
modern methods of canning and
home sciences.
Establish Curb Market.
Recently we read of how the club
girls of one south Mississippi county
through the efforts of their home
demonstration agent, established a
curb market in a near by large town,
and furnished the housewives of the
town with the products of their
clubs. The city folks were glad to
secure these products direct from the
farm, as this, in some places, is the
only way they have of getting fresh
vegetables. In other counties the
club girls have made good sums of
money by making pine needle and
honey suckle baskets which found
n ready market at remuneratlye
prices.
This work could accomplish won
derful things in this county, and the
women and girls are sitting on their
rights by not coming forward in
body and asking the supervisors to
avail themselves of the opportunity
10 secure this federal aid, which is
given every county making an APP
preparation for this work. The Sup
ervisorS have TO make the appropria-
tiOn for this county, and this is the
reason for the meeting of the women
next week.
We shall be disappointed If a
large representation is not present
from every community in the county
next Wednesday.

.HARRIGAN HAS
DISCLOSURES
Of INTEREST.
Accused City Engineer
Promises Some Unpleas-
antries for Officials.
CHARGES ARE FILED
Four Men Present Allega-
tions but no Hearing
Set.

Disclosures which may prove un-
pleasant 10 certain city officials are
promised by City Engineer u. ID. IN
rigan VIXEN a hearing is held on
charges of official misconduct which
were filed against him late Thursday.
The charges. which allegc that the
city engineer exercised unlawful in
fluence over city employees at three
elections. were signed by Joe Beck
and Frank Young. NO city employees
whom the engineer has insisted must
be dismissed from tlit city's employ,
and William c. Lott. 4 man with
whom the city engineer has had CON
siderable litigation. and Ward Ma
lone. Mr.. Malone at one time nego-
tiated with the city for the sale of Il
tract of land for fair site and it was
largely through the influence of Mr..
Harrigan that the purchase was not
made.
The charges were filed with the city
clerk just before council meeting
Thursday but no action was taken on
them as there was no quorum present.
They set out in detail the circum-
stances wherein the city engineer is
alleged TO have influenced the vote of
street department employees and a let
fer. alleged to have been written by the
city engineer. inStructing III men TO
be at the polls. forms a part Of the
charges.
Promises Sensational Disclosures.
Mr.. Harrigan Friday in discussing
the charges. declared that if any or
ders were given by him for city en-
ployes to go to the polls. they were
given at the instigation Of some city
official. He declined to mention any
names but asserted that sensational
disclosures might be forthcoming
when the charges are set for hear
ing.
Since June I. 1922. Mr.. Harrigan
pointed out. he has had no control
over the employees in the street depart
ment. ANY orders transmitted to the
men subsequent to that time, there
fore. he said, must have come from
superiors.
What action. IL any. will he taken
on the charges against Mr.. Harrigan
could not be ascertained Friday. Ac-
cording to the usual form the council
would have the charges read and then
set down a date for a hearing. mean
time instructing the city clerk to sum
mon witnesses.
Nav Ignore Charges.
It has been suggested. however.
that in view of the political situation
ut the city hall and the controversy in
the street department which has
brought about bitter feeling. that the
city commission may ignore the
charges altogether. Whether the con-
mission could be forced to set hear
ing, by mandamus proceedings, is not
known.
Hearing Of charges preferred before
the council a short time ago against
Frank Young. charging him with mis-
conduct in office, which was set for
10 o'clock Friday morning was not
held as no witnesses had been sum
moned. The city clerk claims that the
council. when it set the hearing, did
not instruct him to summon wit
nesses. 1t is understood an attA pt
will be made TO have the hearing Sat
urday morning.

Steel F'agnateS Agree on Its
Elimination as Quickly as
Possible.
WAGES WILL BE ADJUSTED

Necesstate tho Employment of
Thousands More Men and Big

Elimination Of the twelve-hour day
in the steel industry will begin imme-
diately and wages of employees whose
hours are reduced from twelve to eight
hours will be so adjusted as to afford
earnings equivalent to % per cent
increase In hourly and base rates, di-

Ebert H. Gary, president Of the in,

States Steel corporation, In making the
formal announcement, said the change
would be effective as rapidly as the
supply Of labor would permit. He said
it was impossible to say when the
changes would be completed, but de-
clared there would be no unnecessary
delay on the part Of any one.
1t is estimated that the shorter work

Athletics Jump
to Life Brings
Great Surpr i s e
BY HENRY L. FARRELL,
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, May 2S.-Through
the sudden and rather unexpected
return to life of the Philadelphia
Athletics ga cinch" pennant in the
major leagues has been temporarily,
if not permanently avoided.
While the National league has
failed to develop a team that looks
to have even a small chance of
beating the Giants, the American
league has jumped to the front with
the prospect Of a tight contest be-
tween the Yankees, the Athletics
and possible one of the western
clubs that may get around to ex-
pected pre- eseason~form.
The Giants have lead of six and
one half games. The Reds have
been a terrible failure, the Cards
will be badly crippled by the injury
to Roger Hornsby and the Pirates,
will have to act better off the field
than recently.
In the American league the Yanks
have lead of four and half
games. The Cleveland Indians are
having trouble, the Browns will new
er get any place without George Sis
Ter and the Tigers are said to have
been razzed clear off form by Ty
Cobb.
Cy Williams, the tall Philadelphia
outfielder, is furnishing one of the
features of the season by his drive
for new home run record. At the
present time Williams has five more
homers than Babe Ruth had on May
81 of his record year in 1921.

for yesterday with the Yuma team,

for n series at Jaeumba with the III
Centro team, the latter met n pick
ed team of Junior College and high

day, and came out on the long end
of ~ to 10 score. Chick and Bill
Tackett divided the pitching for Fl
Centre and Starr and Wakefield for
the "Starfish Giants.'
The game was played in rather
lackadaisical fashion, both teams
refusing to take it seriously and
getting a lot of fun out of il. A
large crowd watched the performers
and had a merry afternoon, "raz,
zing" the players, the umpire and

Shelby Expects
to Get Wills
Dempsey Scrap
by United Press Leased Wire

SHELBY, Mont, May 2S.-With
the arrival of Tommy Gibbons here
this week to start his training for
his fight with Jack Dempsey on
July 4, Shelby will get its first
real martial atmosphere.
Work on the arena is progress
ing rapidly and the advance sale
of tickets continues beyond expect
ations. The promoters estimated
today 100000 worth of orders have
been placed on file and that from
$4,000 to $4,000 worth are coming
in daily.
Feeling that the Dempsey-G Gibbons
fight is now sure of being a tre-
mendous success in every way, prom
inent business men in this section
are planning to make such an offer
for the proposed DempseyWills
fight on Labor Day that no eastern
promoters will be able to better it..
