cheering had been done, look

tons TO further the farm tele-
phone program.

resume our program at the ear
Hest possible time said Mr..
Hay. "A great period Of prog
re~ssiveness surely lies ahead for
agriculture in Mississippi, and
the coming of the telephone to
more and more farm homes will
certainly be an important phase
of that growth. We are looking
forward to the opportunity Of
being a part of this program"

Furnishing more telephones
for rural Mississippi through re-
sumption of a program interrupt
ed by the war in 1912 is one of

TINE old saying that the
L blood gets thinned out in
the tropics" is literally true.
In the effort 10 get rid of body
heat. the superficial capillary
vessels Of the skin dilate more
or less continuously and perma-
nently and in order 10 fill this
enormous capillary bed, the body
compensates by making more
blood plasna.
The blood pressure also falls
permanently for the same rea-
son.
There results a change in the
blood and vessels OF the brain
which causes peculiar person
atty changes.
The individuals become very
irritable, and also surprisingly
forgetful.
There are stories OF men
starting out on errands to see

TN SPITE OF all the excite
i ment, the total ballots cast
in this election. including most
of the soldier vote, will be less
than in 1910.
In the neighborhood Of As
100000 Americans voted as
compared to $4,000, 900 in 1910.
In 1910, Roosevelt received
1900 900 votes; in 1914. "a
600, 900; in 1910. Willkie re-
ceived 1000. 900 votes; in 1914,
Dewey received 21.000, 900.
Worked out in percentages,
however. Dewey's popular vote
is greater than Wilkes: In
1910, Roosevelt received 54.6
per cent of the popular vote; in
1914, he held only 1913 per cent
while Dewey topped Willkie by
2 per cent.
These figures are. Of course,
subject TO rectification when
the official count is available,
but it is not likely that the
ratios will change.
This is the closest election
since 1916 and indicates a
movement away from Roosevelt
and the New Deal rather than
an increased popularity for
either.
THERE has been no land
i slide.
The popular vote proves that
whereas a large number OF
Americans supported Roosevelt
for a fourth term, the proper
ton of the population, including
the soldiers, was less than IA
vored him for a third term.
Were IL possible to weigh
these figures to indicate the
number of southern Democrats
who vote for a Democrat even
when they dislike him and OPP
pose him, II would be possible
to show that in the popular
vote, the two candidates are
about evenly balanced. which
means that Mr.. Roosevelt did
not have the approval Of vast
and preponderant majority OF
the American people.
This is only important at this
stage as indicating trouble for
him in Congress. particularly
should he attempt TO cancel out
the power OF Congress to de-
clare war-which Is the big
issue before ii arising out OF the
Dumbarton Oaks conference.
