PEIXFKTGHIE
fPETHHATCHIE NEEDS A
cpEAMERY WHY N0Tp


In the. last week or two articles
haSs Eappeared Il in The j Brandon
News and Commercial appeal sug-
gesttng that the people start diaries
and pla MT more truck.
1t seems that If few of the lead
ing, business menhef the town would
get together they could scheme up
some way to- getisa iicreamery for
Pelahatclde. What qdoesi plant
cost?
If they were unable to induce any
people ito come in here and put up a
plant, they could get out in town
and get the stock subscribed
With a creamery here, one with q
few COWS could sit down each night
and see in minute just how they
came out, but it is impossible to tell
what they will get out of their crop
next fall Some of you leading citi7
zens should look into this matter and
get up something that the surround
ing country could make a living at,
they will get discouraged after a
while, pack up their grip and move
and then you won't get to sell them
any more groceries, dry goods or
ice cream cones either.
Tupelo, Miss, is surrounded by
very poor producing land, and sew
eral years ago a few of the wide
awake business men of the town
saw that something must be done,
they succeeded in getting creamery
plant installed and by the sale of
milk products, and cattle the people
have done well, and Tupelo has
grown to be one of the leading little
towns in Mississippi.

ings started wheat prices upward soon
after the opening and although reac-
lions later took place at various times
the close was near the top figures of
the day. Unfavorable crop reports
from the northwest gave an advantage
to bulls, as did strength in the stock
market and in cotton. The CHIEF de-
mand, however, appeared to come from
traders who were in position to have
the quickest information regarding the
crop figures. pointing to a material re-
duction in the probable domestic yield
this season.
According to generally accepted pri-
vate estimates, the United States har-
vest this season will total about $685.

also was pointed out that the harvest
in Canada will hardly become general
for two weeks. and that much damage
might take place there. Reports of
snow in Calgary today were cited in
this connection. On the other hand,
demand from Europe continued slow
and there was gossip current that some
sales to Germany had been cancelled.
Hot winds in Kansas gave indepen-
dent firmness to the corn market, as did
an estimate that the condition Of the

declined five points during July.

Natures Smoke Screen

The aristeus. a deep sea prawn, has
q method of lighting that gives the APP
rcarance of q multitude of smoke rings.
When excited by the nearness of an
enemy the prawn elects respiratory
water in tiny squirts and into this
stream the luciferin is forced from
countless glands opening into the
stream by fine ducts. AS the chemi-
calls combine, puffy clouds of lumines-
cent particles float in the sea. This is
the Smoke screen provided by ma
ture.
The species Of luminous fish, called
"photoblephron," has a DINNER system
in an inside chamber and burns con-
tinuously. When the fish wishes to
shut off the light, he causes black
augmented curtain to slide down over
the light cell opening like an eyelid.
The light organ preserves its lumines-
cence even when removed and is used
by fishermen of the islands Of Banda,
about 500 miles southeast of the Phil
lippincs as bait for night fishing.-ln-
