From Night Spent
In Cold Garage

From Long Exposure

Nine-year-ol Geraldine Girls
mond was recovering in her home at
$500 Quesada street NV. last night
after spending a freezingly cold
night in a garage while her par
ents, police and neighborhood vol
unteers searched intensively for her.
The girls mother, Mrs. Louis "
Crismond, wife of the District man
ager for Peoples Drug Stores, told
reporters last night that her
daughter apparently had suffered
no i'll effects from the exposure, al
though the child's physician ordered
her to remain in bed until Tuesday
or Wednesday.
The little girl spent yesterday
"thawing out" tucked in warm
blankets in her bed, after the night
of exposure. Mrs. Crismond said
she had only slight trace OF a
cold.
Played Until After Dark.
Geraldine, Mrs. Crismond said.
gave additional details of how she
passed the time from 10 am. Fri
day, when she left home, until her
return about am. yesterday.
The little girl had been told by
her mother to return home imme-
diately after going to school to OBJ
tain ring she had left there. on
her way home, however, she en-
countered playmates, and the time
few faster than she realized. she
told her mother. Mrs. Crismond
said she learned yesterday that
Geraldine had played IN various
parts of the neighborhood until
after dark.
Frightened at the prospect OF
punishment on going home late'
Geraldine said. she went into a
garage at 1913 Quesada street NV.
The child was wearing a heavy
snow coat and woolen trousers.
There was only a bicycle in the
unheated garage. The little girl
told her mother she spent most of
the night sitting against the side
Of the garage and that once she
dozed of and got some sleep.
Feared Another Punishment.
when Geraldine came home her
mother said, "she was so stiff and
cramped with cold she could hardly
walk. 1t took her almost all day
to thaw out. The doctor believes
she is getting along nicely, although
she must be very careful for the
next few days. Geraldine had been
punished before for staying out late.
I had kept her in for this several
times and she was afraid of another
punishment"
Mrs. Crismond said that police
and volunteers who searched the
neighborhood failed to find any of
the children who played with Geral-
dine Friday afternoon. Those who
hunted through the neighborhood
Friday afternoon" the mother said,
"just missed Geraldine on several
occasions. We located several
places where Geraldine played with
children during the afternoon. but
We did not find out about that until
after she got home"

is more than 10000, with at least
1000 dead at nearby Conception.
Nothing has been heard from
smaller towns, where airplane pilots
who flew over them reported they
saw much destruction and little or
no life.
Authorities believe the final
estimate of lives taken would estab-

was the most destructive ever to
strike Chile and South America.
800 Injured in Chillan.
The problem of the injured grew
worse as the hours passed. There
are about 800 injured persons in
Chillan, 1000 or more in Conception

Not over a dozen houses in the
city escaped serious damage The
central section of the town was
f1attened as if each house had been
dynamited individually.
In the center of the city all i'm

Mack Unger Reports
On Como Horse Show

Well, the old horse got three of us
into the show at Como free, there were
so many from Holmes county he couldnt
get us all in so, we will just have to
take more horses next time.
Some of those seen were Mr.. and Mrs
R. l.. Peaster, Mrs. Jim Cunningham,
James Cunningham, James Peaster, Guy
Sharpe, Hugh Nichols, John Stewart
Watson, Ben Beall. Dick Peaster, Gayden
Schrock, Harris Rhyme, Joe Latham, Ed
Gully, Henri Watson and several others
that l cannot recall at this moment.
The entire management was awfully
nice to a certain "Broken-Legged" man,
especially Mr. and Mrs. Pointer OF the
Pointer Stables who had booth fitted
UP with chairs, stools, day-bed and Ice
water and insisted he make himself at
home there. Ben Beall wants to whip
me for putting the old horse in the show
but, he did not disgrace US, in fact did
quite we'll with a strange rider but 1t
is fact that his show days are over,
he cannot compete with his sons and
daughters and other "Cut and Set Tails"
as shown now. We are real proud of
his SON "Boog-A- Boo" who won the
sweepstake class and consider the trip
a great one as we found many friends
of Brown Allen that we did not know
about and met many horsemen that we
might never have known otherwise. 1t
was a great show of fine horses and
especially great of live stock.
We will try to get back on little
horse history next week and in the
mean time, horse lovers are invited to
visit my stable as there are many nice
horses there, good to look at, some from
Como, Canton, Inverness, Sunflower and
our first thoroughbred Grace Horse"

Dennis Murphree
Announces Candidacy

Thirty-seven men, my own humble self
included, have been privileged to serve
Mississippi as Governor since our state
was admitted to statehood 122 years ago.
Seven OF these men have been twice so
honored.
Thirty-five men during this long
period have been chosen to serve our
state as Lieutenant Governor. Three
men. myself included have been honored
by having been twice chosen to serve as
Lieutenant Governor.
No man in all the history of Mississp-
pi has been so highly honored by the
people of our state as to be chosen
Lieutenant Governor of Mississippi three
times.
Seeking to attain this high honor, this
rare privilege and this never before held
record, | announce today, my candidacy
for Lieutenant Governor of Mississippi.
If elected. pledge continued gratitude
loyalty, love and appreciation to my
friends, unwavering and answering
fidelity to the cause of right; unsparing
devotion to duty; unselfish application
of the knowledge gained by experience
toward meeting and solving the problems
of the state.
Caring little for titles and emoiu-
ments, | seek further opportunity for
service because of the good hope to do.
Swearing to uphold and support the
Constitution which demands that the
Lieutenant Governor SHALL act in the
absence of the Governor, WILL be on
the Job, and WILL transact the busl-
ness of the people and the state, when
the Governor is away.
Along with the majority of the people
of Mississippi, hold in scorn and con-
tempt all coat-tail riders and "yes" men.
| am, therefore, not aligned with any
candidate for Governor or any other
office, nor will be.
1t is my information that my enemies
have been long at work priming their
mud batteries preparatory to opening a
bitter mud singing campaign against
mo when l announce. | regret this, be-
cause I abhor such practices and never
in my life have l engaged in them. How
ever | have utmost confidence in the
spirit of fair play existent in the minds
of the people of Mississippi, and all l
ask is that | be heard before they de-
eide.

Potato Slip Sellers
Must File Application

All sweet potato growers who expect
to sell, exchange, or give away sweet po-
tatoes or potato plants next season are
being reminded that their written appli-
cation for field inspections this summer
must be sent to the State Plant Board
at State College before June Is, with a
money order for fifty cents as an ad-
vance deposit for any number of certifi-
cate tags up to fifty, according to D. w.
Grimes, plant board inspector. The
deposit of grower whose fields are
condemned on account of too much dis
ease or who does not order tags will be
returned at the end of the season upon
request, or it may be left on deposit for
another year.
This rule applies to all growers wheth-
er they have been previously certified or
not. On account of the large districts
to be covered and the limited funds for
travel. it is necessary to set June Is as
the final date for receiving applications

State Vegetables
In Nationwide Trek

With prices being unsatisfactory in
many respects, Mississippi vegetables
and other products continued their
marketward trek with the shipment Of
strawberries being noticeably above that
of the same date last year, the total this
season, according to the regular weekly
summary Of the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics, being 2l carlots through May
20 as compared with a total of sevel
last season.
The carlot movement of cabbage. al
though slightly lower as of May "a this
year, compared favorably with the same
date a year ago, there being 1854 cars
of commercial and 456 relief cars, or
total of 2,340 carlots as against 1866
commercial and 525 relief, or a total of
2,490 carlots in 1888. The total for last
season was 2,469 carlots. Of the various
cities in the nation receiving carlot ship
ments of commercial cabbage from the
state May 20-24, included Chicago, 81;
Cleveland, Detroit and Indianapolis,
with 12, 16 and 10 respectively. However,
this does not include the truck move
ment which was very heavy during the
early season.
The carlot shipments of snap and
green lima beans for the state reached
total of SO as of May "a, as compared
with S3 to the same date year ago, or
total of 1876 last season. But in this
respect Mississippi was found to be
holding her own as compared with car
lot movements of other states, North
Carolina shipping 18 to date and total
of 252 last season. Louisiana shipped
only 426 so far this season as against
combined total of 1,010 carlots for last
season. Mississippi beans went into up
wards of II principal cities during May
1924, with Cincinnati the highest with
total of eight carlots and the rest
ranging from one to three carlots. The
movement of mixed vegetables was
found to holding its own with 341 car
lots this season against 800 last season,
and a seasonal total of 426 carlots.
Of the various comparisons, potatoes
showed the largest decline with total
this season through May 20 of &c. as
against 319 the same date year ago,
and total of GAG last season, but from
general viewpoint the trend is fairly
encouraging" commented j. c. Holton,
commissioner of agriculture. "These
totals will doubtless increase during the
remainder of the season and it is hoped
that other commodities will be shipped
in increased quantities, notably includ-
| ing sweetpotatoes.'

Snuff Dippers Con-
ventiOn At Grenada

Since the story concerning the Snuff
Dippers' Convention at Hotel Baldwin
in Grenada on a contest being sponsored
NADIA County Weekly--has been herald
ed to the world over the Associated
Press, the interest in this unusual event
has assumed nationwide proportions.
Daily papers here and there. sensing
the unusual character Of this event. and
sensing the interest that such an event,
never before known, has for the dipper
as well as for the non-dipper, have been
carried Of it.
The details OF this event have not
been fully worked out. But several
things are almost certain: Two hours
broadcast Of testimonials from the dip
pers over WGRM; free lemonade and
can of free snuff donated by snuff
company seem assured; the Grenada
County Weekly proposes to issue on
June 29th, three days ahead, Snuff
Dippers Special Edition, the first ever
attempted.
The G. c. w. now solicits i00-word let
ters from dippers, giving their exper-
fence with snuff, how snuff saved a
life, how snuff extinguished a confla-
grafton, and other experiences with this
powdery form of tobacco. The letters
deemed worthy of publication will earn
for the writers each a 3-months sub
scrption. The best letter published will
receive years subscription for its
author.
1t is understood that, at the conven-
ton, prizes are for the oldest dipper,
the youngest dipper, the prettiest dip
per, the ugliest dipper, the dipper who
can "hold" it the longest without either
splitting or exploding, etc.
Roscoe Fowler of Sweatman who, so
far as we know, is the bright lad who
pushed this idea upon the American pub
lie, is the leading spirit, if not the orig
inator.
The Special Edition of the GCW will
be, perhaps, the only Snuff Dippers is
sue ever published. 1t is hoped that the
Cows master poet will write her mas
terpiece. 1t is hoped that some master
cartoonist will depict the snuff dipper
for front page cartoon. Testimonials
will be published. Almost every candi-
date wo know is anxious to have his
message in this ISSUE for he knows. if
he gets the snuff dippers, he has the
world by the tail, with downhill pull.
Further details of this only snuff
dippers' convention will be given in the
GCW and heard over WGGRM. Look and
Listen.

States Fertilizer
Usage Shows Increase

The total movement of fertilizer to
Mississippi farms for the first part of
1889 as revealed by combined totals
through May 90 shows an increase of
3,577.14 tons above the tonnage for the
same period of last year, the total for
this year being 230,09s.50 as against
226,521.36 tons for the same period
year ago. The figure for this year also
compared favorably with the total of
1887, the figure for that year being 232,-
205.05 which was considerably more, but
the totals for 1889 as compared with
those of 1886 of the same date, show a
substantial increase, the total for 1886
being 1S2,S05.14 tons.
The above total represents about the
only way of reaching an approximate
total of fertilizer which is shown by
notifications furnished the department
of agriculture by manufacturers and dis
tributors reporting shipments to points
within the state. The second way of
evaluating the movement of fertilizer
is the sale of inspection tax tags. This
method, it is pointed out, may not be so
accurate during the season, because tags
are purchased in advance for anticipat-
ed business. However, the total tonnage
as revealed by the sale of these tags
through May 90 is 264,512.50 for this
year as against 289, 9,703.85 tons for the
same period in 1888.
The total movement of fertilizer for
1888 as tabulated from shipping notices
by the Department is given at 65,1s2.16
tons. With the exception of 1887 when
the total tonnage was 300,561 .09 this
represents the highest tonnage since
1880 when the total was 402,718 tons. In
other words, the total tonnage for 1898
represents an increase over most years
and compares favorably with peak years,
such as 1880 when We all-time record
fertilizer consumption year was reached.
at is evident by these figures that
while the totals for the entire year may
be slightly lower they still indicate con-
servatism on the part of farmers n
trying to save as much as possible and
at the same time secure enough fertili-
ger so that this years crops will be well
fertilized," declared j. C. Holton, com
missioner Of agriculture.
"other factors may prove to be equally
influential. So many conditions in
fluence the buying of fertilizer such as
the price Of agricultural products and
the season, so about all we can say with
any degree of certainty is that the 1889
crop will be more fertilized than any crop
with the exception of the year 1887" he
further pointed out.

for inspections. In making application
for the inspections growers are requested
to give their name and address, acreage
to be inspected, and the exact location of
their farms and potato fields.
Wide publicity is being given TO this
ruling, which was adopted in 1882, with
the hope of preventing any grover from
being disqualified from certification on
account of applying for the inspections
too late. Notices have been sent to ev-
cry newspaper in the state, to all county
agents, and to teachers of vocational ag-
riculture, with requests to spread the in
formation as much as possible. All
sweet potato growers certified during
this year have been notified directly.
