had flame colored hair.
Charles stifled an exclamation
and hurried forward. The girl rose
to meet him and, as his eyes en-
countered hers, he read a warn
ing in them. Then she said quick,
ly:
Excuse me, but do you happen
to know anything about motors?"
Charles was quick to take the
cue.
"A little" as he raised his cap.
Can I help you at al?"
well, something's wrong, and l
can't locate it. Perhaps you can"
'I'll certainly try" responded
Charles. ,
He lifted the hood, and peered
within. The girl stood close to him
and looked over his shoulder.
In a whisper, and barely NOV
ing her lips, she said:
We've never met before, yon
know"
And he answered, in a similar
tone:
'I've tumbled to that" Then, in
an ordinary voice: Here we are.
Not much wrong after adjust a
wire slipped its terminal. I'll have

house where he had his lodgings.
There he was supposed to be a
gentleman who had been i'll, and
had been recommended by his doc
tor to spend a few weeks on that
part of the coast, living very
quietly.
In the long, low. bare room, with
its whitewashed walls and old
fashioned chimney corner, there
were only three people besides
Charles-an old shepherd, who
was talking spasmodically to a
man who looked like a longshore-
man, and an itinerant peddler,
who sat beside his pack and lunch
ed bread-and-cheese in silence.
Not an %enlivening company.
Charles finished his pint, and de-
cided that there was, at any rate,
one good thing about the Soul
at Sea"-the beer. Also it was
served in fine old pewter tank
ards.
Good morning." calico
Charles, and turned to the door.
"Morning-sir!!"
The slight pause before the
sir" and the way four pairs Of
eyes followed him as he left the
bar, were a clear indication that
Charles, like most strangers or
newcomers in the district, was re-
garded with a certain amount of
suspicion. The conversation, too,
he knew, would grow easier with
his departure.
Charles was finding time lazy
on his hands. Walk, eat, sleep,
listen and snoop around at night
time with very few results. Such
had been his life-or, rather, ex-
istence-for the past fortnight.
And nothing ever happened.
But that morning was destined
to be different.
Following his usual custom-one

Wage And Hour Drive
Moves Toward Success

Drive to obtain compliance with the
Wage and Hour Law on an industry
wide basis, already moving toward
success in the lumber industry, viii
next be concentrated on five other
industries beginning Monday, Aug
ust 10, Robert I. Amis, Regional
Director for Alabama, Mississippi
and Louisiana, announced today.
The industries to be grouped in
the next phase of the inspection pro-
gram are furniture, leather goods
and luggage, boots and shoes, hosiery
and wooden goods. More than $50
inspectors will be assigned in the
United States, sufficient to permit
inspection of every one of the $3.50
establishments in these industries by
October l.. There are go establish
ments in Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana making goods in these in
dustries for interstate commerce, Mr..
Amis said. Twenty-eight are in the
furniture industry, one in boots and
shoes, 32 in hosiery and / in wooden.
A special inspection procedure
worked out by Deputy Administra-
tor Baird Snyder, which has been
tested and found adequate during
the lumber drive, is being used dur
ing the drive.
'The success of the drive in the
lumber industry, which began on
June 10, has convinced us that in
dustry-wide compliance, brought a
bout through a coordinated program
of inspection and education carried on
simultaneously throughout the coun-
try, is the best technique for clean
ing up the rotton spots which threaten
fair employers with cut-throat com
petition" Mr.. Amis said.
During the lumber drive, about
$500 establishments have been in
spected. Many reputable firms were
in complete compliance but taking
a beating from their competitors who
freely trafficked in lumber produced
by workers paid far below the min
imum.
"In the one criminal case, fines
totalling $4,000 were LEVIED and the
court ordered payment of $4,000
in restitution. In this case almost
every extreme form of violation of
the law was found, including child
labor.

not generally produced for market,
any farmer may grow as much as 80
acres of ~soil-depleting crops with
out mourning a deduction for exceed
ing the total ~soil-depleting acreage
allotment.
Other changes for 1910 are
Cotton
Not to exceed l percent of the
1871 cotton allotment for each state
will be used for allotments for new
growers. Under the 1910 program
up to 2 percent could be used for
this purpose. This change was ad-
opted in view of the substantial ad-
iustment being made by established
cotton growers. No payment viii be
made for 1941 on cotton allotments
for new growers. The allotment will
enable a new grower to grow cotton
without deductions from other pay
ments and without marketing quota
penalties.
Soil-Building Practices
AS in 8 4 0, a soil-building al
lowance will be established for each
farm, to be earned by carrying out
soil-building practices. In addition
to the soil-building allowance, a
special allowance of SIS is available
for any farm under the 1941 pro
gram to be earned by planting forest
trees. This special allowance amount
ed to $50 in the 1910 program.
To encourage the carrying u o.
soil-building practices which are bes,
adapted to local areas, the program
provides that, within designated
areas, on any farm where so percent
of the crop land and orchard land
is devoted to perennial legumas or
grasses, a farmer may earn $50, or
one-half of the soil-building allow
ance, whichever is smaller, by carry
ing out locally adapted soil-building
practices. The practices for which
payment will be made will be re
commanded by local committeeman.
Deduction from conservation pay
ments is provided if farmers do not
maintain soil-building practices ar
ried out under previous programs
until full benefits to the soil have
been realized.
Some revisions were made in prac-
tees in the 1910 program to adapt
them more exactly to local condi-
tons.
Ten new soil-building practices re-
commended by the National con-
ference have been added to the pro-
gram. These practices in the main
meet soil conservation needs in
specific areas. They include pro-
vision for improvement of perman-
ent pastures, farm woodland fire
protection, and practices specifically
applicable to orchards.

Like recent Republican and Demo
cratic conventions, the convention Of
a third party" in Jackson Tuesday
was marked with shouting, banner
waving standard bearers, loud-speak-
ers, a keynote address, and nomina-
tons.
"The Profit Party" is the name of
the new party, and although the con
yention here last night was in true
political style, delegates were not
interested in getting votes, for they
are gas and electric appliance dea-
lers and they drew up a platform OF
better living and better business for
Mississiprians through the use of
more modern gas and electric ap-
planes.
Sponsored by the Mississippi Powe,
G. Light Co. and cooperating APP
pliance dealers, manufacturers, and
distributors, the Profit Party con-
vention last night nominated every
dealer in Durant and Holmes county
to be a Candidate for profit" dur
ing September, October, November,
and December.

oandwagon. Normal is where you
find it," said Keynoter Taylor, as
ne debunked the excuse. "If times
would just get back to normal" which
is used by too many businessmen to-
day. Even our own economists"
stated Mr.. Taylor, cannot agree on
now good normal is"
To prove that the appliance bust
ness in his company's territory is on
the increase keynoter Taylor showed
that in the first six months of 1910
dealers sold $1,201, 931 worth of cd
iipment, as compared with $263,954
during the first half of 1889, an in
crease of almost 40 per cent. And
while Mississippi's population in
creased SO per cent according to
latest census figures, a comparison
of the first six months of 1910 over
the same period shows:
business activity up $16,300,00.
employment placements up 84.2
per cent.
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1940-08-29

farm income up III per cent.
Farm income for the nation dur
ing 1910 is expected to exceed 1889
by $500, 00O, 900.
Following keynote address,
delegates to the Profit Party con-
vention saw an interesting film which
presented the forceful sales promo
ton and advertising program of the
Mississippi Power & Light Company
for the fall months.

The Durant News,
Durant, Miss.
Please allow me a little space in
your valued paper to expire my
appreciation to my customers who
have been ginning with me up at
West.
l have tried to render efficient
Service since the starting of my gin
at West. Not being situated so l
could give it my personal attention,
there may have been some mistakes
made, we are all liable to make
them.
There is one enormously idea a
bout the drier that have in, and that
is it takes a noticeable amount of mois-
ture out of the cotton. | hardly think
that it is true but should it be true
it certainly does raise the grade of
cotton by thoroughly drying before it
gets to the Serus. The government
recommends drying before ginning
and l know from personal exper-
fence it pays to dry before ginning.
However if a man wants his cotton
ginned without being dried we can
do that to. Again thanking all of
you for the patronage you have Civ
en- me and hoping to be able to serve
you in the future, | remain
Yours very truly,

1910 AAA Program
Designed To Give
Greater Farm Aid
Adequate Supplies Are
Emphasized In This
Years Program

Maintenance of adequate food and
fiber supplies for all anticipated
needs, and emphasis IN soil conserva-
ton practices particularly applicable
to local areas and to small farms, are
provided in the 1941 AAA farm pro-
gram, announced today by the De-
partment of Agriculture.
The 1941 Agricultural Conserva-
ton Program, based on recommended
tons of farmer-committeemen, fol
lows the same general lines as those
of 1889 and 1910.
Acreage allotments for cotton will
be announcG later in the season,
when 1941 production and the eff
feet of the European War on demand
may be determined more accurately.
A national wheat acreage allotment
for 1941 of 81 million acres was
announced previously. Rates of pay
ment under the program will be
determined and announced after all
national acreage allotments are avail
able.
In approving the program, Secre-
tary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace
said: "The Nations defense needs
are paramount today. In the 1941
farm program, farmers set up for
themselves two goals that gear into
the defense program conservation
of the soil and maintenance abundant
supplies.
The program continues the sol
conservation efforts with which far
mers are seeking a balance between
soil-conserving and soil-depleting
crops. The object is to store an
Ever Normal Granary of fertility in
the soil that is just as real as our
supplies of corn, wheat, and cot
ton.
"The second goal is abundance,
and farmers are aiming at food and
fiber supplies for 1941 sufficient to
meet all current needs and furnish
adequate reserves, as provided for
in the Agricultural Adjustment Act
of 1885,"
The program contains three pro-
visions which may be applied in in
dividual counties as a means of OBJ
tanning greater conservation under
the program. These provisions may,
upon recommendation of county and
state committees, be used in lieu of
total soil-depleting acreage allot-
ments in areas where feed crops
are not generally grown for market
and greater conservation can be OBJ
tanned under the alternative pro-
visions. These are: (1) Establish
ment of a five-year conservation plan
for a farm, with deductions from
allotment payments for failure to
attain the 1941 portion of the plan;
(2) determination of a minimum
acreage of erosion resisting crops
and land uses, with deductions from
payments for failure to maintain
this acreage in erosion resisting crops
and land uses; and (3) provision that
no farm can earn greater percentage
of its payment on special acreage
allotments than the percentage
which is earned of the soil-building
allowance.
A number of provisions are con-
tanned which give further considera-
ton to the needs of the operators Of
small farms.
The provision under which at least
$40 may be earned on any farm is
continued for 1941. If as much as
SIS is earned by planting forest
trees any farm may arm as mucn
as $35 under the program.
In areas where feed crops are

Aids For Saving
Hay Are Given

This is the season most farmers
r busy saving hay, of the most
valuable feed crops in the county.
Since the grain crop is short o n many
farms every effort should be made to
ave as much hay as possible.
To save good hay certain practices
should be followed.
1. Cut your hay while is in the
bloom stage.
2. DO not leave it in the swath
over night. Lespedeza hay should
be windrowed within two or three
hours after it is cut. If hay is left
too long exposed to sun while in
the swath, a large portion of the
leaves, the most valuable part of the
plant, is lost.
3. When hay is baled it should be
stacked in the same position as it
comes out of the baler and space
should be left between the bales SO
air can circulate. If this plan is not
followed molding more often re-
suits.

Cotton Belt Cash

In the ~six-year period from 1924 to 1929 the
cash income of producers from sales of cotton
and cottonseed averaged 1857, 100000 an
nually. For the year ending July 81, 1889, 1t
was $500, 459,0 900, or 40 percent of the pre-
depression average.
Almost a billion dollars a year lost to the
cotton farmer! Several times that amount OF
business lost annually to those depending in
whole or in part upon the trade and
created by the cotton dollar!
Faced with this loss, surrounded by a r.
000, 000-bale carryover, pounded by the blitz-
kriegs of foreign production and synthetic sub
~stitutes, shall democratic American cotton sur
render to the dictatorship of more aggressive
Industries? Or shall it attack with all its ire
mendous power, advancing strongly into new
and old markets for an ultimate democratic
victory?
You, as the individual consumer, hold the
answer to %cotton's future. Your purchases of
cotton are the ammunition needed for h e
advance.
