conceived and carried out the mid

Handsome Presidents
OF the United States.
President Franklin Delano Roose-
velt, who is conceded to be the hand
soonest and most aristocratic Presi-
dent the country has ever had, was
in dinner jacket and black tie for
Mr.. Blooms party Was it Millard
Fillmore or Franklin Pierce who was
said to be the handsomest President
OF the United States until the advent
Of Mr.. Roosevelt in the White House I?
A majority of the 80 Presidents
have not been much for looks. Presi-
dent Washington had a strong, noble,
dignifled face; the two Adamses were
typical New England Puritan stock
in manner and appearance, while Mr..
Jefferson resembled his Welsh fore
bears and was not handsome. Madi-
son and Monroe had no particular
look to distinguish them from the
average man of the time. Neither
was type of the old Virginia face.
William Henry Harrison, while an
aristocrat, had more the appearance
of frontiersman, owing to his hard
campaigning and rugged life. Nc
Kinley and Harding were handsome
men-the eyes of the latter were ex-
tremely beautiful at times, with q
straightforward look .sof frsnkneas
and honesty that belied much that
has been written about him.

town. With a pleasing way he has
of turning his head to one side when
interested, he asked where George
town was. Said how delightful and
wonderful it would be to meet the
ladies and see the house in which the
son of the great Lincoln lived. In
writing his biography he had gone
to Springfield, Ill, and other places
where Mr.. Lincoln had lived.
In soliloquizing mood, Mr.. Ludwig
ends his life Of Masaryk, very beau
tifully when he writes: "Once upon q
! time the Emperor had farm servant
who was serf. But the son of the
serf went to school and learned
philosophy. He sojourned in big
cities and came to know how his
nation was kept In slavery. And
when he had grown so old as to be in
that stage Of existence wherein bodily
and mental powers generally begin to
wane, he rose up and went wandering
around the world. He rallied Kings
to war, overturned the old empire
and founded an independent state
Tor his own people, over whom he
ruled wisely and long, even until a
very advanced age" 1t will be re-
membered that President Masaryk was
both Czech and a Slovak by an
cestry. His undying love for America
began with his alteration for his
American wife, whose surname he
adopted as his middle name-Gar-
rigue.
Representative Bloom Issued
Gorgeous Invitations.
The director generals invitations
to the celebration of the 15oth an
niversary of the signing of the Con-
stitution OF the United States were
certainly high, wide and handsome
10x8 inches and surmounted by the
arms in gold. Those invitations have
regal aspect befitting the time when
the signers of that immortal docu-
ment, with perhaps the exception of
Benjamin Franklin, wore powdered
wigs, velvet knee breeches, brocades,
lace ruffles and begemmed shoe
buckles. Those gentleman signers
put on a good deal of dog" for men
whose ancestors just few short years
previously had come over in hobnail
shoes, leather jenkins and fustian
breeches. They twirled a quiz-glass
and pinched snuff like those to the
manner born that belied the saying
That 1t takes more than two genera
tions OF white shirts to make a gentle

RECORD COTTON CROP

Interesting news to every Mississippian is the cotton
forecast of the Crop Rotating Board of the Bueran Of Agri-
cultural Economics, which predicts 100000 bales of 500
pounds gross weight for Mississippi this year, based on Oc-
tober / conditions.
This compares with 1,9l1,O 600 bales in 1886, 1889 600 bales
in 1895, 1,142,0OO bales in 1884, 1884, 600 bales in 1888 and
the Swear Q92832) average production for the State of
1,559,00 bales. Ginnings prior to October from the 1887
crop were 1,2l4,O 900 bales.
The condition of the Mississippi cotton crop on October
! is reported as sc per cent of normal, the highest of record
Tor that date. The October !, 1886 condition was 81 per
cent, and the l0year average condition for October l is SO
per cent of normal.
The indicated average yield per acre of the Mississippi
cotton crop this year is 343 pounds of lint cotton, the largest
yield per acre of record for the State. The average yield
per acre in 1886 was 305 pounds, and the 10year average
is 19l pounds.
This would be wonderful news to farmers if they could
get the same prices they did this time last year. Every
body would be hiariously happy.
But it's an old story of supply and demand and
everybody is sad.
There's not but one thing that could make it worse
to have a Republican in the White House.
A "do-nothing'' attitude in the White House would be
worse than disastrous.

IS MEANS
of ADVERTISING
STATE PROGRESS
FINE DISPLAYS SHOW GREAT
PROGRESS

Successful agriculture, expend-
ing industry, and the forward
looking viewpoint of Mississippi
people are combined this year to
produce probably the finest sue
cession of fairs in the history Of
the state, writes j. G. HOlton,
commissioner of agriculture.
1887 has been one of the most
successful years of them all from
the viewpoint of agricultural pro-
duetion, thinks the farm commits
sioner. The cotton crop is esti-
mated as the largest of them all.
Yields of corn are expected to
considerably exceed recent out
turns per acre. There are fine
pastures, home gardens, and hay
crops. so agricultural production
this year is close to an all-time
record.
"The movement to industrialize
Mississippi is proceeding rapidly.
New factories are providing en-
ployment to Mississippi workers
and utilize Mississippi farm pro-
ducts, and in all portions of the
state attractions are being offer
ed to potential industries. All of
this means that fairs have h.
come show windows Of Missis-
sippi's progress in agriculture
and industry, health and educa-
ton.
"Fairs have been held success
fully since late summer, are In
progress now, and still more
fairs are scheduled. The number
is larger than ever before. The
quality and variety of exhibits
and attendance records indicate
that Mississippi is 'fairminded,
determined upon a course of pro-
gress and development, and is
parading accomplishments and
possibilities to increase interest
at home and attract interest from
abroad.
"The Mississippi State Fair is
showing to record crowds. Old
buildings have been mOdernized
and the Hugh White Industrial
Building is just one of the nu-
merous new buildings. Exhibits
of agriculture, industry, and com
merce, a mammoth parade every
day, superior amusements and en-
tertainment features, all are unit
ed to make tire Mississippi State
Fair the center of attraction dur
ing the week October 11-16.
Gas never before Mississippi is
aware of near limitless opportu-
mites and resources for develop
ment into a great agro-industrial
empire. Advertising conscious,
the present medium of publicity
is fairs-community, county, dis
trict and state. They serve an
extremely useful purpose. ani
this successful season means an
other step towards the desired

NEUTRALITY WOULD
BE COSTLIER TO u. S.
Washington Hesitates To
Invoke Enactment of Re-
cent Congress; Justice De-
partment Reveals Nazi
Probe in United States Is
Already Under Way

Washington, Sept. 1O.-(AP)- The
Duke Power Company appealed to
the Supreme Court today for the sec
ond time in an effort to prevent the
Federal Public Works Administration
from making loans and grants to
publicly-owned hydro-electric plants
1t asked the tribunal to review a
decision by the fourth circuit court of
appeals sustaining $2,852,OOO PWA
loan and grant to Greenwood county,
S. c., for an electric plant at Buzzard
Roost. The court already has agreed
to review similar litigation brought
by the Alabama Power Company and
the Iowa City Light & Power Com
pany to stop the government from
supplying money for projects in those
two states.
Arguments in the latter cases pro-
bahly will be heard next month. If the
court consents to review the Duke
Power case, it likely will be argued
with the others.
Neutrality Would Be Costly.
Meantime, government officials said
any future application of the neutral
ity act might seriously restrict export
of such things as cotton, wheat, scrap
iron and automobiles, as well as en-
bargoing shipments of arms and am
munition. This is a possibility under
the Presidents discretionary powers,
they said.
Immediately upon invocation of the
neutrality act by the President, it
would become unlawful to export
arms, ammunition and implements of
war to either of the belligerents. A
similar prohibition would become eff
fective against the extension of loans
or credits to either side in the con-
flict.
