equaled in the history of the
world.

Recently we stopped to gaze in
wonder at a healthy looking mule
who was risking his neck by stick
ing it through q thick barb-wire
fence in order to nibble a piece OF
grass growing on the outside.
The pasture in which he was
domiciled was a large n and
full of nice green grass.
You know, we think we are all
kin to that mule in one respect.
We can't make the most of what
we have because We are so busy
gazing on the outside. -. and
thinking of what we'd like to
have.
-. Which reminds us Of a sigh
we read on a college bulletin
board once.
"Lots Of folks get the life kick
ed out of them-trying to get a
kick out of life."
So
The Mississippi Advertising
Commission had better watch Ed
Lipscomb. The best one we've
heard this week was on this
smart young fellow. who is
known to have a weakness for
pretty b%runettes.
Ed and the photographer for
National Geographic Magazine
were taking pictures at Tupelo to
illustrate an article on this parti-
cular city. They went out to take
the picture Of a storm pit.
companied by a pretty brunette.
. When they returned the young
lady was asked if they got a good
picture. She snapped her fingers
and exclaimed: "You know, /
knew there was something we for
got!"
A number of Mississippi editors
wondered what important tele-
phone message brought Charlie
Harris, Canton's Mayor and pub
Usher of n of the leading week
lies in the state, out of a state
press meeting in jackson last Sat
urday afternoon.
1t was Charles wife. anu
we suspect she was checking up
on him.

"Then I'll be down in just a

Well say for Mary's sake, how
ever, that Mrs. Charlie did not
arrive. SO Mary must not be so
dangerous after all.
Please tell the advertisers
where you saw their advertise

473O Holmes County farmers
have received payments totallng
$3.50, 345.02 under the 1886 soil
conservation and building pro-
gram. During the past four years
the Holmes farmers have received
the sum of 1889, 1888 for
carrying out a better balanced
system of farming and saving
soil fertility.
Looks like editors and column
lists would get tired of advertis,
ing the famous gold coast OF
Rankin county. They're closed up
one day and before you can get
a paper out they've already con-
structed a new building in which
to do business.
Nc wonder there's a shortage
of skilled carpenters in jackson.
