DURANT's SAFETY WEEK

The Business and Professional Womens Club of Durant
is sponsoring a Safety Week next week and Mayor Edgar
Howell has issued a proclamation to that effect.
Signs are being printed by the News to be used as safe
ty pledges by automobile owners and drivers. Everyone is
asked to display the emblem during Safety Week as a sign
that he has pledged his best efforts to safety on the road.
Through the medium of newspapers and radio the public
has become safety conscious, whether or not it actually tries
to live up to the laws of safety.
We all have guilty consciences, more or less, when it
comes to the question of driving. All of us are to a certain
extent careless and irresponsible under the wheel of a car.
Few people are SO perfect they never break laws or violate
the rights Of others.
Thus while we may not hope to attain perfection we can,
however, strive after it. Every pledge made in sincerity on
the question Of safety may help materially to wipe out &C
cidents.
Let us all pledge our efforts toward making our COM
munity free from accidents in 1898!

M|D-JULY PROSPECT
INDICATES ANOTHER
PROSPERITY PERIOD
Cotton Growing Well; Grain,
Forage, Food Crops Better
Than Any Recent Year;
Prices at Favorable Levels

Another prosperous year IN
Mississippi agriculture is fore
rcen as cotton price is maintain
I'd in the face Of increased acre
reports and optimistic yield
forecasts, and as mid-July pros
rccts for grain and forage crops
re most promising.
The Federal estimate of cotton
acreage points to 34,192,OOO
ores as compared with 30,960,OOO
4 wear ago. This is an increase OF
lO.4% in the cotton belt and OF
''% in Mississippi. Students OF
The cotton market feel that the
,~ice rise Immediately following
the publication of increased acre
e reports gives a degree OF as
surance that another price TRACE
DIV will not forthcoming this
wear.
"Of course" stated j. G. Hol-
ton, commissioner of agriculture,
prospects are now promising,
and it will be possible for the
entire belt to make a bumper
crop as did Mississippi last year,
but weevil damage is yet to be
faced and on average crop seems
a good guess. Such a crop at the
present price on / 600 acres
planted in Mississippi this year
will yield a cotton income COM
parable with that of last year.
cit is possible that much OF
the increased cotton acreage was
achieved at the cost of feed crop
acreage. Offsetting this, and con.
sidering that all crops r some
what spotty, Mississippi has
nevertheless one of the best mid
July prospects for grain and for
age crops for many years. Insult
ficient rainfall is the usual limit
ing factor, and on much of thu
land planted to corn, hay, foo(
and forage crops, moisture al
ready in the ground will matur'
crops far in advance of any IL
past few years.
"All these factors add up t.
yield a satisfying prospect. N
one can safely predict price. TO
to name just one price factor,
could move upward with a short
er than average crop or down
ward with a bumper crop. Tn
market seems prepared for a Ii
million bale yield at presen
price or better and the cotton in
come prospect is therefore pleas
ing. Possibly the largest farr
expenditure is for feedstuffs, an
the presen. attractive crop, whic
is fast passing beyond the poir.

we will likely make more busllel
of grain and more tons OF fee

And that is why I believe that all newspapermen go to

Thus speaks w. Earle Dye in the July Rotarian.
Mr.. Dye is an authority and should be right. He
probably is. Many editors, uncertain as to our entry in
heaven, welcome the assurance Mr.. Dye gives. At least
there's some hope now when we start worrying about
whether or not we are going to heaven. Before perhaps
there had been some doubt.
If there are newspapermen in heaven who get there be-
cause of their long suffering, however, we venture to say
that there will also be doctors, lawyers, preachers, (but then
all preachers go to heaven, don't they?), and men and
women from all walks of life.
Ali all there will be lots of men and women there who
go on in this world from day to day, taking care of more
than their just share of responsibility and hard work with
never a murmur OF complaint.
It's the people who complain that we hear from SO
much. There are literally thousands of persons doing their
kind deeds and good works every day who will go to their
graves forever unsung unless it does comes out on Judge
ment day.
So perhaps newspaper editors shouldn't pat themselves
ON the back for taking so much. other professions take
just as much and most of the others DOM give the re-
turn of joy and happiness that the true newspaperman gets
IN his work. =. perhaps we are lucky, after all.
And think what a grand place this heaven will be. all
our friends there. they will be, you know, because if they
