 The democratic caucus will be held at the Watertown High school tonight at S:15 ?. p. All those registered on the caucus list are urged to be present.
 A suggested slate for nomination at the caucus has been drawn up by the town committee. The most prominent feature of this Is, of course, the endorsement of Frank Coon for the office of first select man. This is an unusual procedure for of late years only a candidate for the position of second selectman has been nominated with the gen. eral understanding that he would automatically become third select man of the town. The minority party of the town must have one representative on the board.
 This year, however, nominations have ben suggested for both first and second selectmen, and an ac- tive campaign in favor of MT. Coon for nominations for that office has been started.

Much has been said and equally as
much written about the supposed de-
generacy of the younger generation of
the present day. In every age the same
complaint has been made by the Older
against the younger generation. 1t
seems to be law of life. In this day
we hear much of the profligacy of youth.
And we are very apt to judge the many
by the misdeeds of the few. Most of
US, in passing judgment, forget that
young people are Misunderstanding
more. They do largely the things that
they have seen their elders do. As one
high school boy so aptly puts it, "When
J. see one of our leading citizens take a
corner on three wheels, | feel that
have right to do the same thing and
I want to try it with Dads car" The
boys and girls don't realize their lack
of experience. They grow up quickly
in their own estimation, as all parents
know; and they feel they should have
privileges that come with maturity
There is no escaping the responsibility
that goes with mature years. No one
can reasonably expect the imitators tc
rise above the level on which the mi
tated live.

LOOK OUT FOR NUMBER ONE.

The Aberdeen Examiner reproduces an
editorial comment of Hon. Wiley
Sanders of the Kosciusko Star Herald
relative to the folks living in Missis-
sippi-but not on a main highway-who
are entitled to some paved roads. These
GOOD folks-and we happen to be among
them-are more interested at home and
development of contributing rural
factors. than a pleasure boulevard for
some tourist from Hot Acres, Nebraska.
or Blue Nose, Nevada, wandering
through Mississippi on a good road while
old John Taxpayer is in mud back in the
areas of the state The Webster Pro-
gress adds some other good reasons along
the same line. 1t follows:
"The greatest danger now facing the
people of the Magnolia State is a pro-
posed imminent diversion of accustomed
revenue from the Counties. There is
concerted effort being made (alded by
influences coming from Memphis and
New Orleans) to take away part of the
revenue now going for upkeep and con-
struction of roads in the rural districts
and spend it for one or two roads which
will benefit Tennessee and Louisiana
business men more than it will help
our own citizens Tourist trade is over
estimated, and it is doubtful whether
expensive tourist roads will work for
the good of the common people of Mis-
sissippi, Taking away the benefits and
the substance of our farmers in order
to help tourists and big city business
men will work to the harm of Jackson,
Meridian, Greenwood. Columbus and
other Mississippi cities. It will also re-
tard the progress of rural communities
are now making toward a happier eco
nomc balance. 1t may seem bit sell
fish to say 50, but Mississippi should
begin to look after Number One for a
change.

The stores that advertise are stores of
better values. This has been conclusvely
proved to consumers who patronize
stores that advertise. The very fact
that they invite you to come and see
the newest offerings at reasonable
prices is evidence that they have faith
in their stocks as the acme of perfection
in quality goods. The advertisements
present the opportunity to find what you
want when you want it, because stores
that advertise are not alone stores of
better values-they sell seasonable mer-
chandise that people want. Advertised
goods appeal to the eye and they will
invariably be found as good as they look
Advertised goods offer the ways and
means of buying more for less because
advertising reduces the cost of selling
and therefore lessons the cost of doing
business. There is nothing lacking
which the most particular buyer might
wish in the stores that are persistent
advertisers.

The Annual Farm and Home Week
will be observed at State College July
30 to August 3. This annual event
staged by the extension department CO.
operating with the U. S. department of
agriculture is one of the biggest events
of its kind held in the state each year.
Prize winners over the state in the
various activities of the extension work
gather at the college to CLEAN further
data and information in their work and
to hear the best experts of the nation.
Only small charge is made by the
college for those attending and every
| body who has the good fortune to be
present always hope to return again.
1t is truly conference of farmers and
home makers, the best combination we

THE POLITICAL DICTATOR.

The only thing lacking in the
present gubernatorial campaign
is political dictator for each
candidate. One has already got
ten his, and the woods are being
shelled with a long-range gun
from Washington telling the
bows down the line which way
to march.
But from all indications, the
masses are not hopping on for
this free ride; there's an element
of doubt in their minds as to who
te1i1is-new born friend will favor
should he be elected. His red
hot supporters used to say that
he wanted to be governor for the
good he could do the people but
to what extremes has he gone
endeavoring to be governor.
When this first started, it was
only an obligation of friendship.
Now it bobs up as dictatorship.
What will it be next?
While one of the boys is gloat-
ingly "c-o-u-n-t-i-n-g Out the
another threatening
exposure of the low-down on the
higher-ups, the friend Of the
people for % years is keeping
straight ahead and gaining
ground every day.
There are a number of Mis-
sissippi mothers who still cling
to the old adage that as the
tree is bent, so shall it grow"
and who believe that gratitude
is a virtue all should strive
to possess, whether that person
be the humble servant or the
gentleman that wishes to bal
ance agriculture with industry.
The verdict will be written by
the voters before long, and we
venture the assertion that there
is not going to be much chang
ing done now.
The people of Mississippi are
not taking orders anymore
they are doing their own think
ing. No political dictator for
them.

- is his cousin in the great city. The
foreign news is just as carefully scan
ned from day to day. and the field of
research and invention is religously

There may have been a time when the
residents of a small country town or a
farming district took little or no in
terest in affairs outside of their own
local community, other than to vote their
straight party ticket at election time.
But that time is not now. 1t has not
been for many years. The man behind

valued at $2,000,000. A great part of
them have been sold to Mississippians.
The Average price per mule was $3.50
with prospects of an average price of
5000 by next winter. 1t costs about
as much to raise a mule as it does to
raise d steer and the mule will bring
sixteen cents pound while the steer
will bring six cents a pound. Oklahoma

Colored preachers and teachers should
bear this in mind They can foster only
good feeling between the races and pre-
vent future lynchings if they will teach
colored youths the folly of molesting
white girls When. a~negro is. Iynehed.
by bunch of white men, the chances
are that it could have been averted by
proper instruction of the negro when
he was youth. Nothing is to be gain
ed by encouraging social equality. The
races are distinct and should remain
that way or they would have been one
color. The only sure way to prevent
lynchings is by preventing the crimes
that cause lynchings. When this is done
there will be no lynchings. Mobs never
bother innocent negroes if they know
they are innocent. 1t is the duty of
colored leaders to instill this fact into
the colored youths.
