Popular Young Woman
Passes Away

The entire community was shocked
and grieved on Tuesday when it val
learned that Miss Forrest Holiday
had passed away very. suddenly al
the Pearl River County Hospital.
Miss Holiday had been teaching il
the High School faculty at Delhi
La, and had an attack Of Dengus
fever, but seemed to have recovered
and she. came home about Christmas
time when her father was desperate
ly i'll. She had a relapse and alse
had an operation for Sinus trouble
She appeared better and was taker
home but recurrence Of the trouble
necessitated her return to the hospi.
tai She seemed no worse than she
had been but on Tuesday, without
warning she breathed her last.
She was one of the most popular
girls of the town and as she grew
to young womanhood entered the
faculty Of the Grammar school and
taught for five years. Her pupils
were devoted to her, and the sweet
ness Of her character won place
for her in all hearts.
AS member of the Methodist
church she was active in Sunday
School and Young Woman's Mission
ary Society, and always an aid to
the pastor.
She was devoted daughter and
sister and her early departure leaves
vacancy in the home circle impos-
sible to fill.
The funeral services were conduct
ed on Wednesday from the Metho-
dist church, and one of the largest
congregations ever gathered in the
building met to pay tribute to her
lovely character. The ritual service
was conducted by Rev. ]. E. Will
Jams, pastor of the Church, and by
special request the sermon was
preached by Rev. G. S. Harmon,
former pastor OF the church and
close friend Of the family. All bust
ness houses were closed for the fun
eral as were the Pearl River County
Agricultural High School and the
Poplarville Grammar School. The
body was laid to rest in the Town
Cemetery and the mound was liter
ally hidden with flowers.
Miss Holiday leaves to mourn her
death her father and mother, Mr..
and Mrs. L. H. Holiday, two sis
ters, Misses Annie and Hilda, five
brothers, Jim, Bryant, Lawrence,
John and Thomas.
The whole community is saddened

superlous. He has spent his life
in the County, and is thoroughly
acquainted in all parts of it.
During the administration of Nor
roe Tate as She:' {, Mr.. Breland
was his office deprty and moe
capable one has perhaps never filled
the place. He is a finished book
keeper and accountant, and is as well
posted, probably, in regard to the
lands and the office work attached
to the department as any man in
the whole County. And along with
his efficiency there went always an
ease in accomplishing the work, and
fine spirit that made it delightful
to do business with the office. He
was never ruffled, never in a bad
humor, but always smiling and af-
fable and pleasant to approach.
Mr.. Breland counts his friends by
the scores in the social circles as
as well as in the business life Of
the county.
He is member of the Baptist
Church, and active in Masonic cir
'cles.
All he asks is that his friends
remember the close race he made
in the last election, and give him
the same loyal support, and he de-
sires that the voters generally weigh
his qualifications for the office be-
fore they cast their ballot.

Warning to Purchasers
of Lespedeza Seed.

There is on the market in the
hands Of spectators, several thous-
and bushels Of Lespedeza seed of
the 1921 crop. This seed shows a
termination from Zero to 35 per
cent. Somebody is going to buy
bad seed. Good seed of the 1922
crop should show termination of
70 to 80 per cent. Buy through
your County Agent or from a re-
liable party and demand to know
if it is 1922 crop and the percentage
of termination.
Lespedeza is the Alfalfa of the
South. No better hay is grown any
where than Lespedeza hay pro-
perly cured In feeding value it
is equal to alfalfa and has high
proportion of leaves to stem, making
it hay of good quality.
At the Coastal Plains Experiment
Station, yields of 312 tons of cured
hay per acre have been secured on
good ground, with 200 hundred
pounds of acid phosphate applied
One cutting of the best alfalfa rare
ly exceeds IL tons per acre. On
good ground you can reasonably e@-
pect / u to 2 tons of Lespedeza hay
per acre. A good stand of Lcspe
peza will make about l ton 10
each six incehs growth. Yet V
constantly have inquiries about rails
ing alfalfa in South Mississippi.
There is less labor involved il
making hay from Lespedeza than
any other hay crop that can BE-
grown in South Mississippi. 1t can
be broadcast on the oats in the
first two weeks in March without
any preparation of the ground The
oats are cut off in the usual way
and n October you get crop of
hay. The ground is reseeded foli
another hay crop and can be disced
and sown to another crop Of oats.
Lespedeza is soil improver the
same as other legumes such as
cowpeas.
Lespedeza natures at time
other work is not pressing. 1t con-
tains less moisture than other le-
gumes and can be cured in the
field in one day at time when
rains are not usually heavy. Seed
can be saved by running a seed paA
on the mower bar. Throw your hay
for feeding, on a tight floor AID
save the chaff and seed that shat
ters. This can be seived for your
own seeding or run through
cleaning mill for sale.
Lespedeza is to the pastures OF
the South what white clover is tol
the bluegrass pastures. 1t grows
we'll with grasses and is fattening
feed and is relished by all classes
of live stock. 1t may be scattered
in the pastures at the rate of $40
pounds PEE ccre. Il should always
be SOWn WIN cdrpel grass VI any
seed pasture in South Mississippi.
I.espedeza hay is we'll known OF
tho market and finds a ready sale.
Every farm in South Mississippi
chould have l o. acres Of Lespe !

House Keepers
Should Take Stock
What are You Doing to
Lighten Your House
Work in 1923

Is it not time for us at the begin
| ming of the year, to "Take Stock
of our kitchen and see what we
lack in the way of equipment, and
what we have wrong in the arrange
ment of it? Since the work of the
kitchen consumes large portion
of the house keepers time provided
she does her own work, we should
have the arrangement of the equip
ment in such a manner, that it
will not hinder us from doing most
efficient work with the least ex-
penditure of energy. ..-..
How are your working surfaces
finished? The kitchen floor should
be smooth, free of tracks, and easy
to keep clean. Painting, oiling, or
covering the floor with Linoleum is
very satisfactory.
Are your walls painted with oil
paint so when soiled they can be
washed off, or is it papered with
yarnish paper which can be cleaned
with damp cloth? The oil paint
is perhaps best for walls and wood
works.
Water Works
Do you have running water in
your kitchen? By having good
supply of running water saves time
and ightens the kitchen work, Sug-
gestions are in farmers Bulletins
927 and 941.
Lighting
Do you have good bright light
on your stove, and work table? The
kitchen needs good artificial light
ing, as well as plenty of day light,
and sunshine during The day
Location
Is your kitchen located convenient
ly with reference to dinning and
living rooms? In order to save
steps, the distance between these
rooms should be as short as possible.
The kitchen floor should always be
on level with the floor in the
other part of the house.
Screens
Is your kitchen we'll screened?
It is essential to health to keep the
flies and mosquitoes out. Screen
wire carefully fitted to the win
dows and door is best.
Equipment
Have you an oil stove, flreless
cooker and steam-pressure cooker?

HONOR THE FLAG

The municipal court was crowded
to suffocation Tuesday when the trial
of Harry Daugherty and Richard
Howey, charged with assault and bat
terry, was scheduled to come up for
hearing. So much interest in such a
trivial common occurrence as street
scrap is, to say the least, unusual,
but in this instance it may be account
ed for by the fact that one of the
parties interested has been brought
into the lime light by story freely
circulated, in which he is alleged to
have torn down and trampled upon
a small American flag carried on the
hood of an automobile driven by
party of the second part. This story
no doubt caused the Standing room
only" sign to be displayed by Judge
Bolton long before the case was called
and then the big crowd was doomed
to disappointment, as the trial was
continued until next Tuesday and a
poor, miserable little booze case sub
stituted in it's place.

PUT THE HOOKS INTO PREUs

In electing Magnus Johnson, the
Farmer-Labor candidate for the U. S.
Senate, over Governor Preus, the
hand-picked representative of the
money power of the nation, the
voters of Minnesota have for the
second time within twelve months
dealt smashing blow to Wall street
and it's allied interests. No efforts
were spared to secure the election Of
Gov. Preus, slush fund of upwards
of 100000, of which the Republican
National Committee donated $4,000,
interested parties in Minneapolis and
St. Paul SAT, 900, the balance being
Clipped in by the steel trust, it is al
legged was freely spent in the vain
effort to stem the current of Opposi-
ton which his candidacy aroused. This
political revolution, which has occur
red in Minnesota, will in some meas
ure curb the orgy of profiteering
which has been going on at the ex-
pense of the farmer and the city
worker, and tends to prove that the
people are beginning to do their own
thinking instead Of delegating the
job to the professional politician.

The Steel Workers
Are Organizing
(By Federated Press)

Chicago-Big plans are under way
in the recently launched A. F. of l..
national campaign for the organiza-
ton of the workers in the steel in
dustry.
There are 100000 unorganized steel
workers in the country who are be-
ing circularized and approached in
person by organizers. The campaign
has made promising financial start
with the nest egg of $4,000.
The principal districts now attacked
by the new committee are the Chi
cago, Cleveland and Bethlehem, Pa,
districts. The Chicago district with
steel centers at South and East Chi
cago, Chicago Heights, Hammond,
Gary, Kewanee and Joliet offers un-
usual opportunities.
The 36c an hour rate for common
labor in the steel mills was recently
raised to 40c. This must be further
raised and the hours of work reduced
from IL to 8 per day, union men say.
Judge Gary, steel trust head, dis
misses the campaign with the remark
that outsiders have sometimes created
trouble, but "when the men have had
an opportunity to pass upon the ques-
tions they are generally pretty
prompt to decide in favor of the man
agement."
Similar opinions by Gary in 1919
did not prevent the greatest steel
strike on record in this country.

CAN YOU SWITCH OVER?

Considerable turmoil exists in the
local political pot just at present and
the merits and demerits especially
the latter) of the various candidates
are being discussed on every corner.
Many people declare they will for
sake their old party affiliations and
jump the fence in order to give a
boost to some of their friends on the
other side. But can they do so? In
order to make such radical change
the law requires that person to OBJ
tain a ticket at the primary other than
that of the party with which he has
been formerly identified, must de-
clare that at the last election he voted
for at least a majority of the candi-
dates at that time on the ticket of
the party whose ticket he now de-
sires. Unless such be the case his
request is denied. So it is more than
probable that many of those who de-
sire to switch over will find the bars
are up.

ARE YOU FIXED?
WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN YOU
ARE SO YEARS OLD?
Old Age Poverty Not Always Caused
by ImprOvidence, But Generally
the Result of Sickness or
Poor Investments

A survey made by Old Age Pension
commissions in the states of Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and
Wisconsin shows:
That one in every five persons, IS
years of age and over, is classed as
pauper and that one in every three
is dependent either on some charity
or on relatives or kind hearted friends.
That the diseases accompanying old
age, rather than old age, are the
chief factors in shortening the period
of economic usefulness or the ageing
man and in rendering him ultimately
dependent on others.
Forty-three per cent of people pas
sing their 50th years, have no proper
ty or other source of income except
their earnings.
Among women the greatest contri-
buting factor to old age dependency
is widoWhood.
That poverty in old age is not a
problem of individual thrift. About
10 per cent Of the inmates of poor
houses and infrmaries and about 20
per cent of the residents of old peo-
ple's homes once had property or saw
ings over $4,000 in value, but sickness
or unemployment or poor investment
had wiped out the surplus.
That the per capita cost of an aged
pauper in an efficiently managed
state institution or for outdoor relief
runs from 500 to $500 a year the
latter figure measures the cost per
year of the necessities of the most
needy of them.
The old age pension bill as advo-
Gated by the Ohio State Federation of
Labor provides for pension of 81 per
day for each citizen who has reached
the age of 65 years and who has no
income, who has been a resident of
the state for Is years.

JUSTICE TO ALL

For the past few days some criti-
cism has been floating around regard
ing the action of the police depart
ment in not making public the burg
larry OF a business place on South
Second strict and the swiping of the
safe, contents and all. There appears
to be no SPECIAL reason for official
secrecy in this matter, as the affair
was kept quiet at the special request
of the victim hihself, who says he
visited the daily newspapers and
asked that it be ,ot mentioned.
People usually get en,ugh blame for
things which merit censure, without
being cussed about acts for which
there is a justifable reason.
