IIanley's Duties Varied

The duties or Dog warden Joseph Hanley are most varied and some are far from pleasant, 1t was learned today. All sorts of animal-trouble seem to fall within the scope of MT. HanleyS position, and the popular dog warden usually accepts them as they come, even unto handling skunks.
 Mir. FIaniey one cold day last win- ter got c call to 60 to c local home, and on his arrival learned that e skunk had made his abode In Q clothes closet there. Just how the odoriferous animal got there Is not known but 1t was Joe'S problem to get him out-ard quickly.
 T smelled trouble when got the call" Joe said, and his keen intui- ton was not wrong. The owner oi the home had managed to trap the skunk under Q pan but the animal was still in the closet when Joe are rived.
 MT. Hanley was puzzled for c few minutes but glancing out the win- dow he was struck by Q Napoleonic idea. He asked for Q snow shovel and getting one stepped Into the danger zone, deftly slid the shovel under the skunk and pan and has. tened out of the house. r
 Despite the trouble caused tho kindly house owner did not want the animal killed, so the skunk was chased of with adTionitions to seek greener pastures. When Joe re. turned to the town hall he was hurt and indignant to learn those whom he thought his old pals wanted none of him and he was sent home to deodorize. The memory of the iEi- cident stayed with Joe for ia long time.
 Recently Joe had to disposses Q police dog in order to permit the owner of home to occupy nj house. A house here waS sold and Q police dog owned by the original seller was given to Q neighbcr.
 The new owner of the house stepped out for c few minutes one day and in the meantime the police dog wandered Into his former home.
 When the new owner returned ne was met with growls and the dog seemed determined to keep him out. After several futile attempts the owner summoned MT. Hanley who, like a modern Pied Piper, enticed the animal from the home into which the owner quickly scampered. No Hog Caller
 Even Joe has limits to his ability however. Recently he got Q request from a resident to remove Q 200 pound pig which had strayed on the property of the complainant.
 Joe although slight of build, packs terrific energy into his slight frame but he realized that 200-pound pig would De pretty difacilt for him to handle and he frankly admits his voice is not trained for hog-calling. So he reluctantly refused the re- quest and learned later the owner oT the animal arrived later to claim his strayed property. Just how the owner induced the pig to return nome Is not known.

Conjecture as to new-crop
yields and prices at this period is
pure guess work. except as we
rely on comparisons with the
past. The four years closed have
been remarkable cotton years in
that average yields per acre in
creased annually to the all-time
record high last year. If we
should average in 1887 our yields
for the years 1888, 1884 and 1885
1874 pounds, 211 pounds, and 22s
pounds per acre respectively--the
new crop average will be 211 ID
per acre. If estimates or guesses
Of increased cotton acreage are
reasonably accurate, this three
year average yield will produce
something like 1,400 900 bales.
That, incidentally, is about Mis-
sissippi's share Of a IA million
bale crop.
"With corn now selling on cen
trail grain markets at around $1.2s
per bushel a lower price thar
$1.OO per bushel in Mississippi
seems unlikely-and that means
the estimated 80 million bushe
shortage would cost 80 million
dollars to supply. With cotton Sc
ling at IL cents per pound as al
present, it would take 100000
bales to buy this amount Of feed
Should cotton price decline to 10
cents, GOO, 900 bales would be re
quired, while, Of course, higher
priced cotton would mean fewer
bales required to purchase need
ed feed supplies.
"From the foregoing it seems
clear that something like one
third our total cotton production
will be required to purchase fooc
and feed grains that could be prt
duced at home. There is still tim.
for corn, cowpeas, soybeans, sar
grain, sorghum and sweet pota

FARMERS SHOULD
PLANT FEED STUFF
ESTIMATE SAYS 70 MILLION
BUSHELS NEEDED

How much cotton will it take
this year to buy Mississippi's
customary shortage Of corn and
equivalent feed grain, is a ques-
ton asked by j. c. Holton, COM
missioner of agriculture; "too
much for the w~ell-being Of farm
ers," is his answer, in suggesting
continued paintings Of feedstuffs.
Referring to an estimate by the
Mississippi Corn Improvement
Association two years ago that
70 million bushels Of feed grains
are required in the state annually
the Commissioner stated that the
state average yield during the
first IS years of the century was
43,117.000 bushels, which had
tapered downward to 32,192,000
bushels in 1885 and to 39,570,00O
bushels in 1886. Thus, even tho
ugh production should be slightly
increased this year, the shortage

WENTWORTH LIBRARY
RECEIVES CARNEGIE GRANT

Whitworth College at Brook
haven, Mississippi, has just been
given $1500.00 by the Carnegie
Corporation of New York to be
used to purchase books for the
Weems Library. In the early part
of the year a representative Of
this corporation came to Whit
worth to investigate the academic
purposes of the college AMI to de-
termine how far those aims are
being realized.
1t is the purpose Of the Corpor-
alton to help the libaries of
schools, not only where books are
needed. but where books will be
used. Records show that in the
last five years the use Of Weems
Library by teachers and students
of Whitworth has quardplel. This
is a very significant measure Of
the work done. Furthermore,
Whitworth students who have
gone on to complete their degrees
at Senior Colleges and Universe
ties, in almost every instance,
have done outstanding work. If
good reading habits and good
taste in reading can be establish
ed for students by the end Of the
sophomore year, it insures good
work for those going on to col
lege, and a good life habit for all.
To be a worthwhile citizen in
a democracy, one should have the
habit of being well informed. To
be intelligently aware of ones
world it is necessary to read and
