w. F. Deurmon Warns All
Sportmen To Get New
Hunting Licenses

Jackson, July 10.-A warning to
all sportsmen hat they must equip
themselves with the new fishing Ii
eenses or render themselves liable to
penalties and inconvenience was is
sued today by W. F. Dearman, direc-
tor of conservation of the state game
and fish commission.
Mr.. Dearman's warning was issued
after the receipt of reports from
wardens and other authorized to sell
fishing licenses indicating that thous-
ands of residents and o = resident
sportsmen who fish in the lakes and
stream of Mississippi have not yet
purchased the new licenses, which
were due July l.
To facilitate thte issuance Of the
new licenses, the commission has sup
piled the metal buttons and blank GER
tificates to hundreds of fishing camps,
hardware dealers, wardens, and dea-
lers in sporting goods throughout the
state. In addition to these persons au-
thorized to issue licenses, every sheriff
in the state nay also issue fishing
and hunting licenses, either for local
use in his own county or for state
wide privileges.
The entire proceeds OF the fee
paid for hunting and fishing licenses
goes into the conservation fund of
the state game and fish commission"
Mr.. Dearman explained. THE money
derived from the sale of these licen-
ses is used wholly for the protection
and propagation of game and fish
in our effort to provide the people
of the state with real sport and re-
creation and to protect and conserve
the rapidly diminishing wild life in
Mississippi.
For that reason we urge all real
sportsmen to renew their fishing and
hunting licenses without delay, thus
saving themselves trouble and en-
barrassment and saving the depart
ment the disagreeable and expensive
task of imposing the penalties for
fishing and hunting without licenses
that are imposed by u statutes. The
commission desires at all times to CO
operate with sportsmen in every pos
siible way, but il cannot, because OF
the plain letter Of the law and the
recognized necessity for conserving
j., the wildlife of our state, permit un-
warranted abuses of the fish and
game license statutes.
"The cost of license to fish or hunt
is small, compared with the benefits
which accrue to our sportsmen as a
result of the l%ong-range conservation
program, and the commission Is hope
full that all sportsmen will comply
with the law by purchasing their
licenses before they embark upon
tnefr fishing and hunting trips"
There is no open season for hunt
ing at this time of the year and the
commission is concentrating upon is.

Narrative Report Holmes
Co. Health Department

Before beginning to write this re-
port 1 referred to our narrative report
of June, 1889. From that report / see
during June of last year we examined
many foodhandlers and as i recall
MANY of them were shown by labora-
tory reports to be carriers of COM
municable disease. AS / compared the
incidence of disease of June of last
year with June Of 1910 / find that
we have fewer disease, but i notice
one fact from looking over the re-
cord which gives me a bit of I'M
easiness. 1t seems that so many peo-
pie do moi realize the Importance of
being vaccinated or immuniZed ag-
ainst disease before they actually come
in contact with the disease. Mo- rea-
LIKING that they may possibly nave
the vaccination taking effect and ex-
perience the disease at the same time.
We sometimes become discouraged
when we use practically every means
at our disposal to educate the public
as to immunizations and yet they do
not avail themselves of this proctec-
ton.
During May one of the physicians
in Lexington asked your Director of
Public Health TO investigate some
cases of fever in Lexington. The first
one of these to get sick was boarding
in the home where a case of typhoid
fever was found last year. Although
IL investigation failed to reveal the
source because of this repeated in
stance we feel positive that there is
a carrier in this vicinity. Specimens
were taken on these patients which
gave us a positive diagnosis OF ty-
phoid fever. These children had been
vaccinated for typhoid fever in re-
cent years and, therefore, were having
mild symptoms. The negro woman with
whom these children were living could
not believe that it was typhoid
fever. However, she was given re-
peated instructions as to nursing care
by both the director and public health
nurse. She was also furnished with
chemicals To disinfect the excreta of
these patients. She had lot been vac
cinated in her life and we almost had
to prosecute her to get her to agree
to vaccination. Two more cases of
typhoid fever have developed in this
same home during the past month
However. we feel glad TO report these
are the only four cases we have had
in the county this year. The person
OF whom we suspect Of being a car
rier has moved to Texas and as yet
we have not been able to learn her
address. The people in Lexington are
responding very well to the urge that
they be vaccinated for typhoid fever
At the present time, Messrs. G. c. Le-
gate, H. H. Ezell, w. e. Moore n
H. r. McGinnis are in the office for
{Hifnunizations with their children pc
ang a total Of ten.
One case of scarlet fever was re-
ported during the month.

does not offer definite evidence of
syphilis. During the month Of June
1850 blood samples were taken for
the diagnosis Of syphilis. / note that
this is more samples that were taken

All of these patients were given at
least "one shot" and the early manifest

Eagle, who was western woman's
director for the Republicans in
the campaign.
I'm California, for instance,
she said, aNegroese--iff their po-
litical views and leanings are
perhaps more divided than any
other sectidn where the Negro
population is large enough to be
considered seriously. Thirty years
ago it was unpopular for a Ne
gro to declare any other than a
Republican political affiliation.
Today It is equally unpopular, es-
pecially among the younger vot-
ers, to be Of the Republican faith.
This swing from the Republi-
can party Was not due to any
