Soil Conservation Election This Week

The election on the soil conservation district to be
held Saturday of this week, is pne of the most important
events, as far as the welfare of Holmes county is con-
cerned, that has presented itself to the landowners In
many years. .--
May we call to your attention again without being
presumptious, that our soil is our support for all OF
our churches, schools, business firms, and our economic
life. Prices for farm commodities may rise but If the
production per acre is low, the total income for the fam
lily will be low likewise.
When we begin to look after our land it will then
begin to look after us. We hear often that a certain
man owns a certain farm but we wonder sometimes If
the farm does not own the man. We are caused to draw
these conclusions when we hear that so-called owner
remark that he does not produce the meat used on his
farm, nor all the feed consumed by the livestock. In
other words he buys for the farm those things the farm
would produce if given the proper care. Washed and
quilted land san not grow the grass and crops which
are necessary to return a fair living to the operator.
Someone has Said that there are no poor farms but
merely poor farmers living upon the land. Another
observer remarked that poor farmers up the creek made
good farms down the creek. Meaning that the loose
fertile soil of the land up the creek had washed away
to the farm below.
Let's vote Saturday for the conservation district

Business Builders
BY Clayton Rand

The Brookhaven Miss Leader writes: Weak
people are often called anaemic. Towns get in that
condition also, when the life giving supply of money
goes out of town instead of being spent at home"
And the buying public is not altogether at fault.
Merchants who bellyache the most about business that
leaves their towns are usually the most anaemic.
1t is automatic that newspaper advertising is the
merchants most effective business builder.
Your local paper is your merchandising stimulator,
and there has never been a town of aggressive business
men, pooling their advertising in a lively, local paper,
that worried much about losing business to ~neighbor-
ing towns.

berth in the final of the Govern

The pair reached the round of

It's daffy industry, plotting those
intoxicated kiddie cars camouflaged
under the mild monnicker of midget
auto racing. If you're the top guy,
or even recognized merely as good
driver you'll earn from $4,000 to
$4,000 year, but you definitely will
earn it.
The chief requisite, it appears, is
a concrete constitution which must
Withstand continual terrific beating.
Seven nights a week those fellows
guide their roaring gas gobblers
around tricky ovals and when they
aren't in a race they drive anyway.
Before last nights crowd of 1900
had filtered out of Capitol Speed
ways splintery stands those drivers
had loaded their fascinating mer-
chants of thrills aboard trailers and
pointed toward Cedarhurst, Long
Island, where they will race again
tonight.
Just One Meet After Another.
Monday night it was Philadelphia
and last night they stopped off here.
Tonight Cedarhurst and tomorrow
night it will be New Haven, Conn.

N. j., whirl around the Paterson
oval again Saturday night and trek
over to Coney Island on Sunday.
Next week and the week after? The

what move the other fellow might
make. They set the pace. They took
the big chance. They made the

What about Joe Louise? The
Brown Bomber has changed his tao
tics. He now has moved over to the
offensive side. In his first Schmeling
fight he was poking in left jabs. In
his second start he was throwing

Louis no longer is a counter
puncher And he has been a far
greater fighter than he was before
because he happens to have two
numbering hands with which to
work He is the best tWo-handed
hitter that ever lived There isn't
any reason why he should muffle
the artillery he carries and go in for
any fancy work. He can be hurt
but he can hurt the other fellow to
q far greater degree.

The tourney is slated for the

where George Jacobus, P. G. A.

Capitalites in Baltimore.
Over at Baltimore's tricky Sub

morrow a good field of amateurs,
made up almost wholly of Washing

in the invitation tourney of the
Suburban Club. It's the only big
affair scheduled for the Simon -pures
late this month, with the exception
of the national amateur champion
ship sectional rounds next Tuesday.
In a way the Suburban Club tour
ney is warm-up for the amateur,
for some of the boys will stay in
Baltimore to practice at Five Farms
for the 36-hole test August 90. The
invitation affair doesn't mean any
thing, but President Nate kaufman
and his committeeman at Suburban
always put on good show.
Much of the golf activity in this
sector centers around Baltimore this
week, for this afternoon Bobby
BroWnell was to lead a good group
of Junior golfers into action against
the best of the Baltimore juniors
This match was slated for the
lengthy Woodholme Country Club
course, longest in this area, and

to win. They whipped the Baltimore
lads by decisive margin last year
