To Our Members


landowners royalty This week we got
out second bulletin to this lucky
group announcing that Montana Power
Gas company has made -FOUR loca-
lions, instead OF just one, on the Mary
Seeba farm.
Located as it is. the Seeba farm is
likely to he one OF the big winners
In the field There is no more OF
this ROYALTY available for any price
we would be able to pay That means
'sfinis9 for investors. no matter how
many gushers come in on the Seeba
farm When we bought this royalty
we had only theory to work on, for
we bought ahead OF the drill That
theory has worked out, and those who
believed In this theory and acted on
it will profit largely.

eggs, as compared to IA eggs from
the mixed focks consisting of pull
let's and hens. In addition to the
egg production statistics, these re-
ports included discussion relative
to the causes and control of lime
berneck in poultry, which is often
serious in fiocks that run at large
over the farm. When fowls eat
decayed food, especially putrid
meat or maggots from rotten flesh,
they develop ptomaine poisoning
or butulism. This condition is
known as limberneck, as the mus
cles of the neck become paralyzed,
and the fowl is unable to hold up
its head. These symptoms are ac-
companied by a yellowish diarrhea,
and the feathers on the back of the
fowl become SO loose that they can
be easily plucked. Limberneck is
the result of poisoning, and is not
a disease, so there is no danger of
its spreading from one bird to an
other in the flock. Although the
most common cause of limerneck
is from poultry having access to
decayed animal flesh, sometimes
this trouble is caused by stagnant
water, or by feeding spoiled table
scraps. When this trouble is no
ticed in a flock, all birds should be
confined in the poultry houses or
in small yards, and all sick birds
treated with epson salts at the
rate of l pound to 100 birds. Keep
the birds confined for three days,
after which time they may be
turned out again, provided a care
full survey of all surroundings has
been made for the purpose of re-
moving all possible sources Of this
trouble.

WHAT ONE CAN DO,
OTHERS CAN DO.

The jefferson County Bank of Fay
ette, Mississippi, has set forth such a
fine message in it's advertisement this
week appearing in the Fayette Chron-
icle, that we are reproducing it for the
benefit of others. If all the financial
agencies would adopt the same attitude
towards mortgages held against home
owners the situation would not only be
greatly relieved but would improve ow-
ing to the spirit of helpfulness result
ing. Their message is as follows:
president Roosevelt urges every hol-
der of mortgages on homes, where the
owners are unable to pay in cash, to
accept the bonds of the Home Owners
Loan Corporation in exchange. By so
doing this Bank would sacrifice more
than one-half of it's present interest
earnings, but would contribute to the
happiness of many families by insuring
the continued occupancy of their homes.
eve are willing to make this sacrifice
for the welfare of our patrons.
Therefore, we give public notice that
we are prepared to accept from any
Home Owner indebted to US, who cannot
pay his mortgage in cash, the bond of
the above mentioned Corporation in ex-
change therefor. This will insure to
the Home Owner money at a very low
rate, upon easy terms, and for long
time. We do this in pursuance of our
consistent policy of making every effort
to advance the peace, happiness and
prosperity of our Home County.
Let US all combine to overthrow De-
preston, and restore Prosperity and In.
dependence"

CHANGING THE CONSTITUTION.

Much has been said about Governor
Conner's plan of calling the extra iegls-
1ative session to revise the constitution
of Mississippi to fit present needs OF
the commonwealth and to further econ
omv in state reorganization OF its gov
eminent. Regardless of the sentiment
attached to the old document, it has out
lived it's original drafting and shouio
ha nodernized. Possibly the writer's
!, 1890 often heard comments on
changes in that day and tine' hiee'i"s
With the same opposition from those
who wanted to cling to the old IDEAS
Changes are as necessary as that time
creates them. 1t is possible tnat one
revised today will be obsolete within
short period of time. No use to hold on
to an old system if it is costing US moro
than it is worth. The Greenville Demo-
crat-Times is of the same opinion as an
editorial on the subject states below:
"Most everybody has something to say
about Mississippi's constitution some
times referred to as that grand ola doc-
rmen+ that has withstood many on
slauehts for the past 43 years. anu
oftentimes upheld as a beautiful monu-
ment to the horse and buggy age Dut
far outclassed for today's speedways anu
the traffic that flows over them.
Somehow, we can't help but treat with
reverence that great document OF 1884,
created by men whose names have gone
down in history as some of Southland 5
greatest statesmen. On the other hano
we are not afraid to trust this docu-
ment with present day statesmen, Whom
we believe can revamp it without de-
stroying the principles on which it was
built.
"However, it appears to US that the
main trouble is too many water sprouts
that need cutting away. We have du-
plications in commissions and bureaus
that retard efficiency as well as proving
EXPENSIVE. Three departments handling
the states insurance business, two or
three handling the agriculture, two or
three handling tax collections and few
other growths may be removed with ease
and to the delight of the poor taxpayer.
But, what we need most is CEN
tralization of responsibility, so that
dozen office holders can't take credit
for one good thing while throwing the
blame on others should the same things
be the reverse. Then eliminate about
of the laws we already :
have, enforce the balance and elect hon )
est and capable men to office"

THE TRUE BASIS OF NATIONAL

Every legislative panacea, schemes of
