Duront To Oppose
Madison Friday
By Ill CATHEY

Resuming relations after a lapse
of several years, the Durant and
Madison football squads will meet on
the ~latter's field Friday afternoon
in the fourth game of the season for
the charges Of Coach Dace Davis.
In their past clash in 1887 the
Madison eleven eked out a 6 to 0
triumph over the Tigers. In spite of
the fact that the homelings suffered
wallopings at the hands of Canton
and Yazoo City they are confident
they will be able to give their best
performance thus far this weekend.
Coach Davis has been drilling the
lads on a more sustained offense and
q sturdier defense, both of which
have been very weak on account
of the loss of numetus regulars from
the 1910 group. A great scarcity of
gridders is also a major drawback
to the Durant aggregation, but the
Tigers still have that same fighting
spirit until the final whistle has
blown.
Starting performers for Ne locals
will come from the following pig

David Fleming, Gilbert, Carl Herrin,
pph Cresswell, Billy Burnley. Joe
Moore, Calvin King, Pete McNeer,

High School Education
Is Not Necessary
In U. S. Navy

Since Secretary Knox announced
the enlistment drive for Uncle Sans
new Two-Ocean Navy several weeks
ago, many young men have asked IL
they were eligible to enlist without
a high school education.
Adjutant C.. F. Drake of the
American Legion answers this i'm
portant question for the young ne
of this vicinity.
"Navy enlistees do not have to be
high school graduates" said Mr.
Drake. "Any ambitious and patrio-
tic young fellow who wants 20 serve
his country has that opportunity now
by joining the United States Navy or
Naval Reserve. Of course, he must be
Of average intelligence, good charac-
ter and be able to pass certain ohy-
steal and mental examinations. Now,
more than ever before, the Navy
needs men of that type.
"All applicants, whether or not
they have high school diplomas, are
given an elementary examination
containing about 100 questions"
Those receiving a grade of SO per
cent or more satisfy Navy educational
standards.
Naturally, a high school educa-
ton is helpful in the Navy, just as
it is in civilian life" points out MI.
C. H. Carruth, principal of the Du-
rant High School. :
There are certain advantages for
the high school graduate in the Navy"
| said Mr.. Carruth. "He has a wider
background to call upon in earning
advancement in position and pay. For
example, men who are proficient in
English may be sent to one Of the
Navy's communications or clerical
schools. Recruits with q knowledge or
aptitude for handling tools might b
marked for trade or engineering
courses. Men with college educations
may qualify for midshipmens' train
ing courses in the Naval Reserve
and after their schooling period they
will report for active duty as Of
ficers with the rating Of ensigus.
'"The Navy has four excellent trade
schools to which new recruits in eth
er the regular Navy or the Naval
Reserve may be sent after a train
ing period, providing they pass en-
trance examinations with sufficient
ly high grades. At these schools they
will be trained in any one of nearly
fifty skilled trades or vacations to
which their aptitudes suit them and
will receive free schooling valued
at hundreds of dollars in addition
to their regular Navy pay. Such an
education is valuable for advance
ment in the Navy and in later civil
liam life," he concluded.

Farmers Asked To
Grow Soybeans
Arksoy Is Best
Oil Producing
Variety Here

In order to assist in national de-
Tense oil needs Secretary Wickard
is calling on farmers to grow an in
creased acreage of oil producing soy
beans the coming year. y
One of the best oil producing soy.
bean varieties grown in Mississippi is
the Arksoy. The Macoupin variety is
high in oil contents and a high yield
ing bean but does not come up to a
stand readily when planted. This
bean is a little earlier than the Ark
soy and where a large acreage is be-
ing planted it is recommended that
a part of the crop be planted to
Macoupin so as to give a longer per-
iod of time for the bean crop to be
harvested. This plla would enable
n combine to be used q greater
number of days harvesting beans.
If you have a combine you can well
afford to grow an increased acreage
of oil producing soybeans in 1912.
therefore. we are urging that you
secure your seed needs now.
Four to five pecks of seed should
be planted in rows in April and the
crop should be given about two cul-
tivations.
Cotton farmers can use the oil
producing soybeans crop as a sup
Elemental cash crop. During the past
few weeks these beans have been sell
ling for SLAB to $3.50 per bushel
1t can readily be seen that with a 20
to 80 bushels yield per acre this
would make a good cash crop on
many acres Of our cultivated land.

Malaria Increases
In Holmes County
Two Types Prevail
In This Section;
Mosquito Carrier

DR.. L. H. Eubanks, County Health
officer made the following statement
regarding malaria this week:
Recent laboratory specimens sent
in to the State Laboratory have shown
an increase in the number to be in
fected with the estivo autumnal NAL
arial parasite, or plasmodium falcip-
irum. l have heard about fifty per
cent Of the recent specimens posi-
tive from malaria have been Of this
type.
There are four distinct types of
malaria. Only two are noticed in this
territory. The one that has been most
common in the past has been the
tertian malaria, or the type that u.s.
ually causes chills every other day,
but the estivo autumnal type of the
malaria is definitely on the increase.
This causes chills and fever at ir-
regular intervals and may become
very chronic, often being rather diff
ficult to cure. It has a tendency to
flare up after accidents or be con-
current with other diseases. The
same mosquito, the Anopheles or non
singing mosquito, spreads both types.
Someone asked me . few days ago
how it was that a mosquito could be
the vector Of malaria and yet that
mosquito not live through the winter.
The malaria is not carried over
through the winter in the body Of
the mosquito, but as chronic sub elm
ical cases in individuals. Then the
mosquito spreads the disease the
next year from these people. Most
commonly it is about two or three
weeks after q person is bitten with
the infected mosquito before there
are evidences of the symptoms. T

May Justify Outlay

The emergency may justify
colossal financial OUTLAWS. If that
is so, the country at best will
have to pay a price for such
policies, and it would be grossly
misleading to assume that con-
vention credit control would
obviate any and all economic
hazards. In the program there
is an inherent threat to living
standards and TO the purchasing
power of money.
The American system, with
its devices for checks and bal
ances. is the best safeguard for
free government, and Congress
should remain perpetually in
session during the emergency as
a counterbalance. When its dele
gates new and additional pow
ers, it should impose an auto
matte time limit. And when in
doubt, Congress should retain
its powers, and discipline itself
so that it can act quickly when
and if crises arise.

Immediate Study

Accordingly, if the Congress
elects TO continue to repose
financial authority in the Presl-
dent and the treasury, the Chief
Executive should give immediate
study to the specific recon-
mendations of the federal re-
serve authorities, and formulate
a program which he approves.
Directing the transition from
-peaee-tiHfe- to-a wartime
economy is the Presidents re-
sponsibility, and, since he will be
held strictly accountable by the
people, it may be inadvisable for
Congress to tie his hands.
However. he should immedl-
ately implement voluntarily a
technique for controlling ex-
cessive credit expansion along
the lines of the Federal Reserve
recommendations, and should be
prepared to supplement these
conventional controls with much
more drastic measures, including
priorities, fixing maximum prices
and initiating a carefully thought
out borrowing and taxing pro-
