What Holmes County
Formers Are Doing
In Soil Conservation
By A. p. Carroll and r. J. Ross

L. P. Johnson Of Lexington, is buying
800 pounds of Lespedeza Sericea seed
for a 9-acre field that he is planning to
seed the last part of March or the first
two weeks in April. This planting will
increase his farm to II acres.
Farmers cooperating with the Holmes
County Soil Conservation District have
planted 81 acres OF this deep-rooted
perennial last year. Present prospects
indicate that the acreage to be planted
in Sericea during 1914 will be several
times that Of last year. Sericea has
shown marked ability to grow on de-
pleted lands and to restore the pro-
ductive capacity of the soil.
Dewitt Buck of Acona community, has
about finished the job of applying IS
tons of phosphate and lime on his pas
ture. He is making a practice of ferti-
lizing pastures during the winter season
each year.
Mr.. Buck recently bought a terracing
plow for his Ford tractor. with which
he plans to construct new terraces and
maintain old terraces on his farm.
Farmers throughout the county are
urging the general public to assist in
controlling forest fires this winter and
spring. 1t is estimated by reliable
authorities that fires destroy as much
timber in the United States each year
as is harvested
War needs wood and farmers are be-
ing asked to make every possible tree
available to the market. This does not
mean. however, that farmers are to de-
stroy thei. woodland by clean cutting
but rather to practice selective cutting
so that q young stand Of timber will
be maintained at all times.

The Russians are Driving the Huns,
no doubt about that for the Hun admits
it. But nowhere has the Hun been
routed. The counterattacks near Vim
lisa are to keep open the line of re-
treat for the many divisions of Huns
in the lower Dneiper bend, no doubt, and
to allow time for rear defense lines to
be made ready. Any way you look at
it the leadership and fighting ability of
the Russian has proved amazing, no
one, outside Russia, was at all prepared
for the fight they have put up, least Of
all the Germans. The Herreinvolk made
one mistake (and one is quite enough
they sadly underestimated the resisting
power of Russia. We read of large num-
bers of Huns killed and captured. It's
pretty sure at least an equal number Of
attackers are killed. The Germans have
studied mass killing for many genera
tions, that's enough reason why the
Gestapo, the s. S. and all the numbering
class have to be wiped out with rope

Fifty-two Pardons or "Clemencies' IN
twenty days must be record of some
sort for Governor Of Mississippi.
Among them some of the worst criminals
we have had in long time. With all
the safeguards the law throws around
criminal defendants, convictions are
very difficult (the jury must be con-
WINGED beyond the shadow of reason
able doubt" of the defendants guilt.
After all the trouble and expense of
trial; after a conviction is secured and
the penitentiary closes on criminal
career, it is pretty discouraging to have
q Governor let them out, almost whole
sale. No matter what his sentiment or
motives may be, twenty days isn't
enough time to properly consider fifty
two criminal cases. Maybe the Legis-
lature, with such flagrant abuse OF the
pardoning power fresh before it, will do
something to prevent repitition.

Robert e. Lees Birthday is holiday
in Mississippi. and in, ! think all Of the
states Of the late Confederacy. That is
why the Banks were closed Wednesday.
(Born Jan. 10, 1s07). It is not nat
ionaI holiday so the post office stayed
open. There are few men in history
20 pure as Lee, so clean in mind and
person. There have been few, If any,
abler Generals. His campaigns are text
books of the British and are carefully
studied by such professional soldiers
as the Prussians. Whatever our old
Confederates may have thought Of Long
street or Jackson or Hood or Forrest,
every one Of them loved Lee. The day
suggests one of Father Ryan's (the Poet
Of the Confederacy) poems;--"The Sword
Of Robert Lee" (the book Of poems is
Hon. G. II. McMorrough's). One stanza
runs:
"Out of it's scabbardl Never hand
Waved sword from stain as free,
Nor purer sword led braver band,
Nor Drawer bled for brighter land,
Nor brighter land had cause so grand,
Nor cause chief like Lee!"

Lives Is Years
With a Bullet
Lodged in Brain
Victim of 'Unloaded' Gun
Now Paralyzed; Case
Puzzles Doctors.

CLEVELAND. - For Is years Joe
Celikovich has lived with a bullet in
his brain.
Now the 29-year-old Clevelander
lies in hospital cot partially para
lyzed and refusing to talk because
it increases the painful pressure in
his head.
Celikovich was the victim of So
called "unloaded" revolver. He was
playing in the rear of his west side
home with 15-year-old friend when
the two boys found an old, rusted
revolver. The other youngster
thought the gun was harmless-so
he aimed it directly at Joe's head
and pulled the trigger.
The bullet tore through Joe's
forehead and lodged in his brain,
where it has been ever since, de-
spite two operations.
Unconscious % Days.
He was unconscious for % days
after the shooting and doctors said
then that he wouldn't live-in fact,
they said he couldn't; it was inn
possible.
But Joe did live and still is hold
ing on to thin thread of life. He
has frequent relapses and numerous
headaches. The two operations
helped relieve partially the con-
tinuing growing pressure on his
brain. His left side became para
lyzed almost Immediately, but he
still managed to get around.
Neighbors describe him as pleas
anti and a ''happy young man."
DR.. Charles T. Dolezal, superin-
tendent of the Cleveland City Hos
pital, examined Joe recently when
he collapsed into his present coma
and said that "any new operation
will in all probability make him
worse"
Parents Want Operation.
Joe's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Steve
Celikovich, disagree. They think an
other operation will help their SON.
maybe cure him."
But DR.. Dolezal said further ex-
ploration in brain, twice tempered
with, will do more harm than good. !"
"Joe Celikovich," he asserted,
"can live long, long time with
that bullet in his brain-or he could
die suddenly tomorrow. It is diff
cult to ascertain. We don't know
whether his present coma is due to
symptoms resulting from pressure
by the bullet or from injuries re-
ceived during the previous opera
tons"
DR.. Dolezal added that the pres
ent collapse may not be the result
of the bullet "but may be a mental
condition entirely unrelated to the
original injury"
What is causing Joe's current re-
lapse is not known. Doctors dis
agree. Medical science has not yet
solved the intricacies and mysteries
of the human brain. But Joe, de-
spite the bullet in his brain, is con-
tinuing his struggle to stay alive.
