Millions in Salmon.

The salmon pack Of the past season
is the largest ever. with a single ex-
ception, and that was 1918, the year
when war measures made it advisable
to pack certain varieties which had
hitherto been rejected for commercial
purposes. The catch of last season was
valued at SOS 100000 and amounted to
7 700 900 cases. The canneries of Alaska
led in the amount of production. The

the enactment Of the Alaskan fishing

Commerce power to say when, where
and how salmon fishing may be con-
Quoted in Alaskan waters. Prior to the
statute salmon fisheries had suffered
much through excessive overfishing.
Salmon have shown an increase each
year under the fostering protective
measures. Another condition which is
gratifying to the industry Is the general
state of the market. The demand for

Christmas Merchandise
Now Being Displayed
AS Season Approaches

The merchants of the city are begin
ming to make preparations for the
Christmas trade and already the stores
are taking on a holiday atmosphere as
the many Yuletide gifts are being placed
on display.
Interviews with many of the local
busines firms reveal the fact that the
seasons offering is greater this year
than ever before and the variety of
Christmas goods embrace greater
selection and scope of usefulness. The
holiday season has developed a spirit
of practical giving and the markets of
the world are now in closer touch with
the buyer as the merchandising agen-
cies inspect goods from all parts of
the globe in their efforts to give the
shopper the greatest values at this hap
py season of the year.
Selections now combined with early
shopping carry many advantages and the
wise buyers have learned the popular
slogan "Shop Early" carries distinct
advantage to them in their holiday pur-
chases. The fact is more impressively
brought to bear in the length of time
between now and Christmas when youi
calendar denotes that there are only
around % days before the Yuletide
event will transpire.
Don't be one of those people who wait
until the last few days and then hur-
riedly choose the nearest-to- -be-had gift
for your loved ones and kiddies as the
merchants of Lexington are now ready
to assist you in completing your Christ
mas lists and it will be a still greater
source of satisfaction when the great
event arrives.
The post office is also sending out
their annual warnings to "Mail Your
Packages Early" in order that you may
not disappoint those at distance with
you remembrances. Take heed, they
say, and attend to this feature now.
Watch the columns of The Advertiser

Methodist Ladies Will
Sponsor "Corp. Eagen"
Thursday-Friday Next

On Thursday and Friday, December
IL and 18th, the sensational comedy
drama, Corporal Eagen" is going to be
staged in Lexington, according to an
nouncement made today by Miss Nettie
Dyer, talented director of stage pro-
ductions, who will have charge of the
event for the Methodist ladies of Circle
No. 8, who are sponsoring the affair.
The production is said to be one of
the outstanding events of this season,
according to the promoters, and depicts
the army life of the rockies. Over $50
local people will take part in the cast
and this alone elicits great interest
in the production.
This popular comedy drama has been
successfully staged in the northern and
eastern states with unusual local in
terest, state Miss Dyer, and everything
points to big production when staged
in Lexington.
Full particulars in regard to the peo-
pie chosen and all details of the event
will be announced later. The Methodist
ladies request that you watch for these
announcements

Lexington Gins Serve
Thousands AS Report
Is Made November 25

Cotton ginnings in Lexington and
nearby plants serving the immediate
vicinity of the city report a total of
6,l57 bales of cotton ginned to Novem-
Der 25. This is an unusual record ac-
cording to the gin operators of the
city, and these figures indicate practi-
cally all of the crop in the fields has
been gathered, several scattering bales
being brought in for their final prepa-
ration for marketing.
Lexington has also maintained a fine
cotton market this year, and this has
been aided greatly by the high prices
paid for cotton seed. AS high as $4,000
while, thereby enabling many farmers
to realize good all round figure for
their cotton crop. Today's prices for
seed is quoted at $4,000, which is still
good price, report several business
men.
Another good feature of this years
crop has been noted, the abundance of
pure pedgreed seed used in planting
their crop and the majority of the
farmers have saved a good supply for
planting purposes another year. The
higher type cotton resulting from good
seed has also been noticed, stated cot
ton buyers, and should form the first
requisite Of planting crop, if good re-
turns and prices are to be expected.
The Lexington Compress Co., reports
the total of 6,33S bales of cotton re-
ceived this year at the local plant, stat
ed Miss Rosa Mae Baxter, and this
figure will probably be increased from
the present crop as it is ginned and
brought here for storage.
While many local business men and
planters have predicted total yield
of $4,000 bales of cotton for Holmes
county this year, this figure will be
reached at the last government report
on ginning for this county was in close
proximity to this figure.
Holmes county ranks sixth in cotton
producing counties of the state. Those
ahead are Bolivar, Sunflower, Coahoma
Tallahatchie and Washington.

Calls On Everyone to
Observe ALL Laws

Law can not rise above its
source in good citizenship
in what right-minded men
most earnestly believe and
desire. If the law is upheld
only by Government officials,
then all law is at an end.
Our laws are made by the
people themselves: theirs is
the right to work for their
repeal; but until repeal it Is
an equal duty tot observe
them and demand their en-
fOrcement.
] have been gratified at
the awakening sense of this
responsibility in our citizens
during the past few months,
and gratified that many in
stances have occurred which
refuted the cyniciSm which
has asserted that our SyS-
tenn could not convict those
who had defied the law and
possessed the means to re-
SiSt its execution.
These things reveal a
moral awakening both in the
people and in officials which
lies at the very foundation

Big Building Program
For Capital Urged

Under the provisions of various acts of Congress $500
1000 has been authorized for public buildings and the
land upon which construct them being $75000OOO for
the District of Columbia and 255000o0 for the country
at large.
Excluding $25OOOOOO which is for the acquisition of
land in the so-caed triangle in this city, this public
building legislation provides for fveyear program for
the District of Columbia and between eight and nine
year program for the country at large
OF this approximately $27,4OO,OO0 was expended
UP to June 80 last of which $11, 900 has been
pended in the District and $16,0O0,OOO outside.
Even this generous provision for both the District Of
Columbia and the country insufficient for most press
ing needs Expensive rents and inadequate
facilities are extravaganza and not economy.
In the District after the completion of these pro
ects shall have fully 10000 clerks housed in rented

Program To Improve
Prohibition System

First there should be immediate concentration OF re-
sponbty and strengthening Of enforcement agencies OF
the Federal Government by transfer to the Department
of Justice of the Federal functions of detection and to
considerable degree of prosecution which are now lodged
in the Prohibition Bureau in the Treasury and at the
time the control of the distribution of industrial
alcohol and legalized beverages should remain in the
Treasury,
Second provision should be made for relief of conges
ton in the Federal courts by modifying and simplifying
the procedure for dealing with the large volume OF petty
prosecutions under various Federal acts.
Third there should be codfcation Of the laws relat
ing prohibition avoid the necessity which exists
of resorng than Is statutes enacted at various
times 40 years Technical defects in these statutes
that have been disclosed should be cured.
would add to these recommendations the desrabity
of recognizing the various services engaged in the pre-
vention of smuggling into border patrol under the
Coast Guard.
Further recommendations upon the subject whole
will be developed after further examination by the Law
Enforcement Commission.

merchant marine act Of 1928
the transfer to private enter
prise of the Governmend-owned
steamship lines is going forward
with increasing success. The
Shipping Board now operates
only Is lines, which is less than
half the number originally es-
tablished, and the estimate Of
expenditures for the coming
fiscal year is based upon re-
duction in losses on Govern
ment lines by approximately
one-half.
The Banking System
It is desirable that Congress
should consider the revision OF
some portions Of the banking
law.
The development of group"
and chain" banking presents
many new problems. The ques-
ton naturally arises as to
whether if allowed to expand
without restraint these methods
would dangerously concentrate
control of credit, and whether
they would not in any event
seriously threaten one of the
fundamentals of the American
credit system-which is. that
credit which is based upon
banking deposits should be con-
trclled by persons within those
areas which furnish these de-
posts and thus be subject to
the restraints of local inter est
and public opinion in those
areas.
The relinquiSh m n t Of
charters of national banks in
great commercial centerS in
favor of State charters indi-
Gates that some conditions sur
round the national banks which
render them unable to compete
with State banks; and their
withdrawal results in weaken
ing our national banking sys-
tenn.
Electrical Power Regulation
The Federal Power Commits
sion is now comprised of three
Cabinet officers, and the duties
involved in the competent con-
duct of the growing RESPONSE
bilities of this commission far
exceed the time and attention
which these officials can prop
-erly afford from other impor-
tant duties. I recommend that
authority be given for the ap-
pointment of full-time COM
misSioners to replace them.
The Radio Commission
recommend the reorganiza-
ton of the Radio Commission
into a permanent body from
it's present temporary status.
The requirement of the present
law that the commissioners
shall be appointed from speci-
fled zones should be abolished
and a general provision made
for their equitable selection
from different parts Of the
country.
It is most desirable that this

1t is urgent that these

Hoover Proposal for
Cut in Income Tax

recommend that the
normal income tax rates
applicable to the incomes OF
individuals for the calendar
year 1929 be reduced from
S, 3, and III per cent, to
4, 2, and u per cent, and
that the tax on the income
of corporations for the calen-
dar year 1929 be reduced
from IL to IL per cent.
1t Is estimated that this
will result in a reduction Of
$16O,OOO,OO in income taxes
to be collected during the
calendar year 1880. The loss
in revenue will be divided ap-
prOximately equally between
the fiscal years 1880 and
1881.
Such a program will give
a measure Of tax relief to
the maximum number Of
taxpayers, with relatively
larger benefits to taxpayers
with small or moderate in
comes.
