SUPERPOWER SYSTEM

The demand for electric power in
the United States is increasing
enormously.
Power plants which a few years
ago seemed adequate for years of
future growth have suddenly become
unable to meet the demands, and
local conditions may be such that
the only solution of the problem
is interconnectiOn.
The problem would be simple if
this situation had been foreseen,
and the proper standards of trans
mission and distribution of electric
current had been provided.
However, the industry is going
ahead full speed to make up for
lost time. High tension wires are
spreading in all directions from
power sources.
The "Interconnection" idea is
spreading. Electric power from
many plants is fed into main wires,
for distribution in sections where
power cannot be generated economic
ally, just as gas and petroleum are
fed into transmission pipes from
many wells.
by medHS u IHIS lHIcICouHeCLeu
'superpOwer" system, it will not be
many years until the whole country
is supplied with electricity adequate
for its light and power needs, if not
for heat, drawn form the water
falls and coal mines and generated
and transmitted more economically
than has yet been possible.
Electricity is revolutioniZing
housekeeping, farming, transporta
ton and manufacturing. The U. S.
has been a pioneer in electrical de-
velOpment and the initiative, perse-
verance, faith and courage of it's
inventors, engineers, investors and
managers of electric properties are
responsible for these wonderful
achievements.

NOW is TIME TO
BEGIN FIGHT ON
SMUT IN OATS
Much Loss Incurred From This Dis
ease Last Spring. All Farmers
Getting Ready to Plant Oats.
Seed Should be Dis.infested.

AS farmers all over MISSISSIPPI
are getting ready to plant oats on
account of the shortage In the corn
and hay crops this year, the State
Plant Board is reminding them that
hundreds of farmers lost from 10
to 25 percent of their oats last
spring on account of oat smut and
is urging that all oats planted TINS
fall should be treated to prevent
this disease. Dat smut Is caused
by fungus, the spores OF which are
present on the seed oats. This run
gus grows with the plant and pro-
duces only mass of black spores
instead of head of grain.
To prevent the disease, the seed
oats should be disinfected with
formalin, various methods being
used in applying it. One method Is
to dip the oats in sacks about hall
full into a solution of l pint com
mercial fOrmalin in 40 gallons OF
water. The sacks are covered with
tarpaulin for hours and are then
opened and the oats spread out TO
dry. Another system Is to spray
the oats in q pile with the solution
used above, turning the pile to al
low the spray to reach all the oats,
| then covering for 5 hours and dry
| ing as in the above method.
| A concentrated solution of for
malin may be used with less trouble.
| One pint commercial fOrmalin is
mixed with pint of water and
this concentrated solution is sprayed
over the oats with an atomiZer or
! fine nozzle, Immediately covering
with a tarpaulin and leaving for
5 hours, the gas which forms kill
ing the diseases. Forty bushels can
be treated with this amount.
Yes, there is one consolation in
not owning a car. There is less
occasion for cusSing.

no more can We, except We abide

We can do nothing.
6 II a man abide not in me, he

MRS. STEVENS OF BRANDON.

We believe it is not too early to
begin looking over the field for
suitable timber for the next Con-
gressional race, and in this connec-
ton we would like to present the
name of one of MissiSsippi's most
illustriOus wOmen-Mrs. Daisy Nc
Laurin Stevens, of Brandon.
The two last political campaigns
have conclusively proven that wo-
men should be given an opportunity
to serve in office, and there Is not
another man or woman in the State
whom we would rather see enter
the Congressional race than Mrs.
Stevens.
She has an unusual degree of
ability, comes from one Of the very
best families in the South, and If
elected, would lend a dignity to the
halls of Congress that would pay a
fine tribute to the sovereign state
of Mississippi.

FULL FARM CREW BILL
(From the Traffic World)

(trom the Trafflc WOrld)
A bill was recently introduced in
the Minnesota Legislature to apply
to farm proprietors some of the
mandatory labor restrictions that
have been applied to or proposed for
transportation corporations.
The bill was called the full farm
crew bill" 1t was referred to the
Committee on Agriculture.
The full farm crew bill closely
parallels the full train crew bill. 1t
provides, in addition to requiring a
farm hand for each forty acres, that
man be employed as a mixer for
every six COWS or fraction thereof"
1t fixes farm wages at the figure
paid skilled union labor in the Twin
Cities and makes an eight hour day
and a six-day week compulsory. 1t
provides for determination of the
scale by averaging the current daily
pay of members of the plumbers
carpenters, printers, plasterers' and
bricklayers' unions. The wives, sons
and daughters of farmers, who work
on the farm must also be compen-
stated at this rate.

YOUR 6!l A.
TEETH w.
PERMANENT TEETH

When your permanent teeth are
all in place, nature has finished her
tooth job. You have your share
of teeth and if you don't take care
of them, you will either have to do
without teeth or use artificial ones.
Who wants to do without teeth?
Certainly you and we don't. Be-
sides, it is not very pleasant to
have them taken out.
Your permanent teeth are a Won
derful mechanism. They maSticate
your food, give shape and express
sion to your face and distinctness
to your voice. The loss of even one
tooth is very serious injury, but
the loss of more than one is a ca
lamity. The longer you live, the
more you need your teeth.

NEW YORK. November 30-The

Ridges of Gloves Old idea.

The three raised ridges on the bacs
of a kid or leather glove have rea-
son. In olden days the back of the
glove was made of four long strips
sewn together side by side about half
way along so that the four unsewed
strips made the backs of the fingers.
These four pieces necessitated three
joins and to cover up the rather
clumsy stitching embroidery was
laid along them with row sof stitches.
Although gloves are now made with
out the joins, the ridges or embroid-
cry still remains as a relic of early
days.
