ON GOOD BOOKS

IL is said that we cannot always choose our companions
u we can always choose our books. And there's not any
thing that can bring more pleasure to the individual than the
comranionship of a good book.
Long winter evenings before a freside are made hours
. refuge and strength by many people who choose their
BOOK friends carefully and wisely. And they are happy hours
1t IS a pleasant picture of home life painted in the Pro-
gresslve Farmer when the farmers wife speaks. saying:
and after the Riddles have gone to bed we spend many
happy hours by the fireside reading: sometimes each reads
his own paper or book, but usually we read to each other.
Often | am behind with my mending or sewing, and my hus-
band reads aloud while l work; and sometimes he has to
work, such as repairing our shoes, repairing harness and bri-
dies, making axe-handles, etc. / then read aloud while he
works, and oh, how the hours fly! It's bedtime before eth
er of us realize it."
Perhaps more II our homes would be happier and closer
together II such a picture was more common. Perhaps more
of us would grow in knowledge and grace if we pursued
our book friends closer. Perhaps there would be fewer
broken homes if we all took time to get acquainted and
really know and love each other. Perhaps we'd all get more
quiet pleasure and satisfaction out Of a few nights spent
alone with our book friends than all the noise and laughter
Of the world outside.
Perhaps we could even learn to know ourselves.
where we are going. and why.

OUR TOWNS BUSINESS

We would be more loyal to those in authority if we knew
our towns business" said Hon. Henry johnson, prominent
Lexington attorney, speaking to a group Of Durant bust
Less and professional women at a recent meeting.
Mr.. johnson meant we would be less prone to criticize
our authorities if we knew the true state Of our towns bust
ness and did not make critical statements on issues and Off
cials when misnformed Or having no true information.
How true that ia. Average John citizen doesn't take the
trouble t. know his tax rate and why; where his tax money
goes and why; what percentage is spent for salaries and
other expenses.
Instead he is apt to take an isolated case and base his
criticism Of the entire administration on this particular case.
The same is true in county, state and national govern
menta We are all apt to judge and Judge severely any
administration on one given issue (which is usually an issue
affecting us personality.
What . reform could be brought about il every citizen
was interested enough in his towns business and the business
OF his county, state and nation to inform himself 30 that
ne could better play his role as an informed, intelligent cit
hen.
What Mr.. johnson failed to sayswas this attitude Of
sel1lshness and lack Of interest on the part Of the majority
Of our citizens is what makes it possible for crseked polti-
clans to grow fat in our country.
And il we would do our duties as honest, self-respecting
citizens we wouldn't have so much graft, corruption and fifth
IN the political life Of our nation.
But we're much too busy to bother with the business
OF the state. and the political grafters grow.

SussIss1PP1's BLACK RECORD

The state press has given wide publicity to the fact that
mississippi led the United States again in killings in 1886.
There were 54 people killed. Of this number there were
ool killed by gunshot; l16 by cutting and piercing instru-
ments; AZ by blunt instruments; / by poisoning; 10 niscel-
laneous. There were 10l whites and 41s negroes.
Only four counties in the state went without a killing
for the year; Choctaw, Hancock, Stone and George. The
majority of the killings were in the Delta.
All of them were caused from practically the same con-
otions: lax enforcement of laws against crimes that lead
TO Killings such as liquor selling and drunkenness, gambling
and carrying concealed weapons; delays, technicaiities, ar
cnalc court procedure; lodging jury service by intelligent cit
liens; too few convictions.
All OF us are guilty. We are either too uninterested
OF TOO lazy to do our duties as intelligent citizens, responsible
TO ourselves, our families and our God for lettering conditions
where we live.
Oath of office to enforce laws has come to mean nothing
To-Day. Officers of the law say people do not really want
law enforcement. They have their alibis. And the killings
go on.
The attitude of otherwise respectable citizens is one of
complete indvfference. We say, "Oh, well, another killing.
Q oad' and go on our way. And the killings steadily
mount and Mississippis record grows blacker and blacker.

PROGRESS IN DAIRY
DEVELOPMENT OPENS
NEW MARKET OUTLETS

Continued progress in Missis-
sippi's expanding dairy industry
IS manifested. not only by in
creased production, but also by
substantially improved quality Of
butter, cheese, ice cream, and
markets being reached by Missis-
sippi's sweet cream, writes j. C..
Holton, commissioner of agricul-
ture.
Mississippi's beginning in the
commercial milk business is of
comparatively recent origin. Az
late as 1910 there was no COM
mercial milk plant, and the real
beginning was made just a little
more than twenty years ago. To-
day, according to official reports
there r more than 300 milk man
ufacturing, processing, and dis
trlbuting plants in the state
which were responsible last year
for the manufacture of 6 and one
half million pounds of butter,
7,7oO,OOO pounds Of cheese, L.
100000 gallons of ice cream, and
for the utilization of So million
pounds of whole milk in four of
the nations largest sondenseries.
These plants purchased from far
mers approximately Is million
pounds of butterfat and paid to
producers of milk and cream an
proxlmately S million dollars.
More recently the trend has
been towards high quality pro-
duets" stated Commissioner Hol
ton. "The cream Improvement
law of 1886 required that all
plants have licensed cream grad
ers to carry into effect estab-
iished legal grades of cream. Be-
cause of substantial premiums
paid for superior grades. farm
ers are producing cream of i'm.
proved quality and receiving
more money for h, and cream
cries are producing better butter
and receiving more money for it.
similar progress has been
made in the improvement Of milk
quality. Plants which buy whole
milk for concentration, cheese
making, or distribution to the re-
tail trade, poined in a voluntary
program to improve milk quail
ty. Under one phase of this pro-
gram, 30,353 milk cans were in
spected and classified so that
milk produced on the farms un-
der sanitary conditions might be
delivered to the plants as SAM
tary. 1,043 cans were discard
ed as unfit and 10,75O we're re-
paired or replaced at actual cost.
milk improvement is already
bringing new money into the
state, for sweet cream is being
shipped in carload lots TO such
northern cities as Hartford, Bal
toner, Washington, Philadelphia
and Schenectady. Special equip
ment for this new market per
mits the remaining skim milk to
be powdered for use as human or
animal food"
