SIXTH ANNUAL PARAMOUNT
 WEEK A NATIONAL EVENT

Observers of things cinematic say that never before in the history of motion pictures have there been so many big and really worth while film productions waiting for release as there are at this time. Critics of mo- tion pictures who have been demand ing for years that the film studios develop their opportunities are likely to be satisfied this year, if promises and reports from production centers are fulfilled.
 More time, effort and actual coin of the realm have been@ spent on the production of pictures this summer than ever before, observers say, and producers are anxiously awaiting the new season in the hope that atten- dance at motion picture theatres will justify the tremendous effort which has been expended to improve the ar tistic standards of motion pictures.
 The eyes of motion picture produce CTS up and down Broadway are cen tered on theatrical box offices throughout the country during the week of September to 8, when most of the motion picture theatres in the Jnited States will celebrate the sixth annual Paramount week.
 Paramount week, the first week in each new season, has come to be es- tablished in the motion picture trade as marking the industry's best effort, and this year 1t Is expected by pro ducers that this Paramount week will be more successful than any other held before. The purpose of each annual Paramount week Is to focus the attention of the public on the advances made during the year in motion picture art and to show that during the coming season the thea tres playing the better type of pie lures will warrant the patronage of their public.

IT'S A CLEANUP

While Whitfield cluthes at the
coat-tail of the great men OF the
party to save himself from po-
litical drowning beneath the ever
mounting Connor wave, Mike Con-
ner is going from place to place
preaching his doctrine of a clean
up day in Mississippi. And because
of the need for just such an ag-
gressive governor as Conner would
make, his friends seized his slogan
of a political house-clcaning" and
arranged for one great and mem
orable Clean-Up Day to put Connor
into the second primary with a
magnificent lead
Last night and today that laud-
able purpose seems to have been
accomplished The idea took. The
people are aroused. And throughout
the length and breath of Mississippi
honest, conscientious, patriotic,
Christian men and women are
working for the one man who has
moved the heavy furniture and
brought the dirt and filth to light.
Elsewhere in this paper are
kilograms from widely scattered
parts Of the State. They bring a
message of good cheer. They tell
a story OF an increasing wave OF
sentiment for Sennett Conner as
the one logical man for governor
of Mississippi. They bear warn
ing to political tricksters and un
scrupulous officials that their days
are numbered in Mississippi. They
bring to the 'pussyfooter' the ira
gic intelligence that he has been
weighed in the balances and found
wanting. They bring to Sennett
Conner message of encourage
ment and good cheer in his manly
fight for decency and clean govern
ment. They bring to his supporters
additional inspiration to press the
battle furiously in his behalf They
bring to you, if you are undecided,
the news that mounting thousands
of your fellow citizens have found
in Sennett Conner the Moses to
lead us out OF the political wilder
ness, and that you owe it to your
family, to your State, and to your
self to vote for the most able,
most experienced and most aggres-
sive candidate in the race.

RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS
AN IMPORTANT OFFICE

One of the most important Of
fees to be voted on at the election
next Tuesday is that of Railroad
Commissioner.
Telephones rates have recently
been advanced, this advance being
supported by the present Railroad
Commissioner, G. M. Morgan.
Freight and express rates, as is
well known, are excessively high.
All these increased rates come, n
its final analysis, out of the IN
sumers's pocket, because the rner-
chant figures his freight and *
press in his cost. We connot get
back to normalcy until the peo ne
are given relief.
Henry E. Ramsey, present Sheriff
of Copiah County and for eighteen
years an official of the city OF
Hazelhurst, is not demagogue.
He would give the public service
corporations a square deal, but he
would protect the peoples interest.
They would not put over any petit
tions for increased rates without :.
fun investigation Of the inersss of
the case than was made IN this
tlephone rate increase, which Will
ssst the people of this District
great sums Of money.
The rates charged by railroads,
telephones and express companies
are too high. They should be re-
duced. The service by those COM
parties is too poor. 1t should be
improved. Ramsey is the man to
accomplish these results. "a dol
lars worth of service for a dollars
pay" is his slogan.
Mr.. Ramsey served with distinc-
ton in the Spanish-American War.
He is a son of Mexican and Civil
War Veteran. He is man of the
highest integrity and great business
capacity. Mississippi never had a
more fearless, energetic, impartial
officer than Henry E. Ramsey.

Poplarville Welcomes
Perry County Farmer
Business Men

Two hundred trainers and business
men largely from Perry County,
Dut including few men from its
border counties of Jones, Forrest
and Greens, visited Poplarville on
Tuesday Of this week for the pur-
of inspecting the work of the
local agricultural experiment sta
ton.
The party was organized by
County Agent johnson Of Perry
County and came in some fifty auto.
mobiles, They reached Poplarville
about ten o'clock and the earlier ar
rivals Immediately began going over
the farm but the bulk OF the crowd
did not get started before a heavy
rain came when they went 20 the
chapel of the Agricultural High
School where they were welcomed
by Professor Huff and the work Of
the experiment station was ex-
planned to them by Mr.. Ferris.
After getting dinner in Poplar
vile, they again assembled at the
experiment station where they were
divided into eight squads Of twenty
five men each and placed under the
leadership of trained agricultural
men to whom the experiments had
previously been explained, when
they were guided thru the fields
and the nature OF the experiments
gore into detail. Marked stakes
and placards had previously been
placed thru fields so that the eX-
peiiments were largely self explain
atory,
Eevry one in South Mississippi;
now is interested in the boil WeeVI.
and naturally the work Of the sta
ton having to do with the poison
ing of this pest was especially at
tractive. Howeve9, the croWe
seemed vitally interested in all the
EXPERIMENTS which included hundreds
Of tests with fertilizers under corn,
cotton. tomatoes and sweet potatoes;
equally SO many tests with valle-
ties of the same with additional
tests to determine the relative
values of different kinds OF peaches,
apples, pears, grapes, figs, pecana,
oranges and other common south
Mississippi crops.
While almost continuous rains
thru out the growing season have
interfered seriously with the cui-
tivation and development OF these
crops they were all growing luXuri-
antly and were as fine as could be
found in any country. While the
cotton was shedding badly, due to
the frequent rains and their intlu-
ence on the boil weevil, a lot of this
cotton promises to give yields OF
three-ouarter of a bale, or more,
but for this deterrent would iikely
break the record of South Mississ-
ippi for yields.
Perry was the third county to
send delegations to visit the station
this season and it is purpose OF the
management to have every county
in the Coastal Plain section of Miss
issippi send similar delegations here
every year. We hope Pearl 2'Ve
county will get in line and aonor
the station with visit in the near
future.
