BRAZILIAN IN VIRGINIA
LAUDS MONROE IDEA
Color, Addressing Assembly. Says
Doctrine Asserts Political Rights
of All New World.

By the Asso lated Press.
RICHMOND. Va. March 1.-The
Monroe doctrine is not only a North
American one. as to many it appears.
but is also Brazilian doctrine, because
in truth. it is a proclamation of the
political rights of all the New World :"
Senior Lindolfo Color. member of the
Brazilian Chamber of Deputies, de-
clared Yesterday in addressing the Viz.
elnia General Assembly.
The simple fact that Brazil adhered
to the Monroe doctrine is sufficient
reason that in no way can We approve
any manifestation tending to attribute
TO ii an historical significance already
extinct or simple North American
meaning" Senior Color said. 1t is
sufficient. however, to recognize the
services already given by the Monroe
doctrine. and which no one can doubt
to conclude in sane political criterion
that what was yesterday continental
cannot be considered regional today"
Senior Color. with DR.. Alrico da Sill
vaira. personal representative of the
President of Brazil. and group of
Brazilian delegates to the Pan-Amerl-
can Congress at Havana were guests of

Fund Continues Good.
Work Directed by
Chairman Jordan

The Murphy-Martin Educational and
Endowment Fund, of which W. L. Jor-
dan, of this city is chairman, has con-
tinued to serve the needs of higher ed
ucational requirements Of the children
Of the Masonic Orphans Home at Colum-
bus and Meridian, increasing the scope
of activities the past year until % have
availed themselves of this advantage.
This fund had it's inception during the
life of the late Paul H. Murphy, 10000
being collected from the different Ma
sonic lodges of the state of Mississippi
for the purpose of giving a higher edu-
cation to the children of Mississippi,
who were orphans of Masons of the
state at their homes maintained at Me-
ridian and Columbus. Another $4,000
was contributed by B. B. Jones, one of
the greatest benefactors and philanthro-
pists in the South, who has given mil
lions to education of boys and girls
through the Field Co-Operative Associa-
tion, of which Mr.. Murphy was secre-
tary and treasurer, R. E. Wilburn and
W. L. Jordan together with the late p,
II. Murphy, were appointed trustees Of
the fund, and upon the death of Mr..
Murphy, w. L. Jordan was selected as
chairman to carry on the work. All
matters pertaining to the fund is hand
led by him at Lexington. The 100000
fund was named the Murphy Martin Ed
ucational and Endowment Fund, and the

poorly developed birds; bad housing
and yarding. A purebred flock of about
100 well bred hens is highly profitable
under proper conditions of management,
while poor stock is usually expensive.
Feeding simply for maintenance results
in low production and consequently adds
to the costs. Hens should come into
the laying season in strong flesh as in
dicated by their weight, and the annual
feed bill for 100 hens approximating
140 eggs per hen, range from 1900 lbs.
of gram and mash to 1900 lbs. for the

for building funds has been launched.
The building committee has met with
a very generous response, and on every

o. D. Hooker. This committee expects
to give everyone a chance to make a
donation to the new church building.
Lexington for long time has been in
need of new Methodist church, and the
prospects for securing it were never
brighter than now. It deserves the sub
stantial support Of all our people, and
we predict that in the very near future
the citizenship Of this little city will
point with pride OF one Of the hand
soonest and most modern houses Of wor.
ship in this section Of the state.

Sipe Addresses Poultry
Meet; Williams, Agt.
Outlines His Policies

G. R. Sipe, poultry specialist, repre-
senting the Extension Division of the
Mississippi A. & NJ. College, with T. M.
Williams, local county agent, met with
the Holmes County Poultry Association
at the court house in Lexington Friday
afternoon.
In an address to the Association, Mr..
Sipe chose timely suggestions and help
full hints to the average poultryman,
covering his subject carefully and plain
ly. Economical feeding, correct hatch
ing date, proper equipment, systematic
culling and economic flock ratio were
listed as essentials in profitable farm
flock production, by Mr.. Sipe. Feed
charges, according to his statements,
comprise approximately seventy-five per-
cent of total production costs in rec
ords kept through the work of the Ex-
tension division of A. & M. College, on
10000 hens last year. On those flocks
for which records were kept, and where
efforts were made to follow generally
approved practices, he continued, eggs
were produced at an average feed cost
for the year of eleven cents per dozen.
which was we'll under the approximatsdl
average price received Of IS cents i
dozen. November and December, Mr..
Sipe stated, are the months of high pro-
duction costs as we'll as high prices, be-
cause Of the reduced egg supply, while
February, March and April are the
months Of large supply, reduced unit
costs and lowered prices. Because Of
the high average flock yield at this later
season, eggs were produced in demon-
stration flocks last year, at seven and
eight cents dozen during these months.
For these reasons, present seasonal
prices should not Be a encouragement
to producers, who would seem to have
reason Of complaint with an average la
Dor return Of forty to fifty per cent on
their investment. The following is
summary of Mr.. Sipe's address, which
outlines a very constructive plan of
procedure for farm flock owners:
Low production in many flocks at
this season may be attributed to COM
bination of conditions. These are low
vitality, resulting from poorly bred
stock; improper feeding, and parasitic
infestation; large per centage of old
hens held over from a flock where
systematic culling has not been prac-
ticed; young stock, late matches and
