Lady Nearly Clicked
While Lying In Bed
Due To Stomach Gas
cHeNAlcAl COMPANY
AcxeoN. MISSISSIPPI

One lady said a few days ago that
she used to be afraid to go to bed
at night. She was swollen with
stomach gas, which always got
worse when she went to bed, and
the gas would rise up in her throat
after she lay down and would near
ly choke her. She couldn't lie flat.
Had to prop herself up on pillows.
Recently this lady got INNER-AID
and now says gas is gone, stomach
feels fine, bowels r regular and
she can 60 to bed and sleep sound
ly.
NNER-AID contains IL Great
Herbs; they cleanse bowels, clear
gas from stomach, act on sluggish
liver and kidneys. Miserable people
soon feel different all over. So don't
60 on suffering! Sold by all drug

Former Holmes Man

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 3-(Special)
Henry B. Sarge Jr., of Jackson,
vice-president, director and general
manager of Mississippi Power and
Light Company, has resigned effec.
tive March l to accept a position as
executive vice-president of the Cen.

In making the announcement
President Brown expressed regre,
over the loss of Mr.. Sargent who be.
gan his utility career with the Mis-
sissippi Company in Lexington ir
1927. However, stated MI. Brown
'his new position offers unusual and
broader opportunities and his de-
cision to join the Arizona utility was
only natural under the circumstan-

CONSERVATION NOTES


w. r. Ellis, Jr., has applied lime
to his permanent pasture, and is
now applying basic Stag where no
lime was put. Mr.. Ellis is taking out
of cultivation so acres of his steaper
land and placing it into permanent
pasture. He stated that he was sure
this steaper type Of land would give
him greater return in pasture than
in row crops. He had several acres
Of small scruby oaks in the pasture
cut. They wer too thick to allow
desirable pasture plants to grow
Also they were valuless other thar
for wood. Mr.. Ellis has had two
stock ponds constructed. He plans
to use them for supplying stock
water and for fish ponds.
Mr.. G. H. Love has applied lime
and phosphate on his permanent
pasture. He put two tons of lime
and five hundred pounds of phos-
phate per acre, Mr.. Love has con-
structed two stock ponds in his pas
ture. He stated he liked to have
plenty of ponds 50 that his cattle
would not have to walk too far for
water.
The Soil Conservation District
technicians located pond sites, de-
signed the necessary dams and su-
pervised the construction of more
than 300 stock ponds last year. On
a recent visit to many of these ponds
we found most of them in excellen'
condition. However, we found a few
that needed some adjusting There
were a few that needed the spill
way lowered as the water was get
ting up less than three feet from
the top Of the dam. It IL very neces-
sary to keep the water three feet
below the lowest place in the dam
These dams are still settling and
may continue for several months
therefore all you farmers should
watch your ponds closely to see that
those dams do not break and loose
your pond. We also noticed that logs
and chunks had drifted into the
spillway O several ponds. These
should be removed as they might
hold back sufficient water, after 9
hard rain, to cause the dam to break

Formers Increase Use
NITROGEN Products

In the last ID years, delta and
brown loan farmers have increased
the annual use of heterogeneous ferti-
lizer approximately 100 percent, and,
at the same time a tremendous in
crease has been made in the acreage
of winter and summer legumes. In
the 20's hardly any cover crops were
planted anywhere in Mississippi.
The fact that this area has been
increasing its use Of nitrogen in the
lcommercial form IS well as through
planting legumes, crop yields per
acre have been doubled on a great
majority Of soil types, nevertheless,
there are soils in the eastern part Of
the delta and in the brown loan
area which are showing need Of
phosphate and potash as well as
lime. The continued use Of heavy
applications Of nitrogen on cotton
crops forms a taking out process that
causes mineral deficiencies to show
up more than normally.
As q matter Of fact, some farmers
in the brown loan and eastern pant
of the delta are noticing that their
cotton Is rusting more than usual
and yields are not as coed - in past
years. Some Of them are using pot
ash and superphosphate n winter
Ilegumes. This crop is plowed under
and by handling the situation in this
manner, these minerals serve two
crops, the winter legumes and the
cotton crop that follows. Profitable
increases in yields Of cotton and
other crops are secured on these
soils with this kind Of management,
Lime helps out also, especially when
used in combination with phosphate
and potagh,

very close during the entire game
with neither team having over four
points advantage. Miss MCCULLOUGH

a substitute early in the first quart
err was responsible for her teams
victory. Her scoring was spectacular,
in that few shots were missed, and

In the year 1915, when every
days newspaper was so packed
with momentous events that it
seemed too precious to destroy. a
group of experts in news selection
was preparing a handy, complete
and permanent record that would
take up only few inches on your
desk. This was the staff of ''The
World Almanac and Book of
Facts" headed by E. Eastman
Irvine. Few photographers, in
other years, had faced such a
challenge; when men turned in
future to their book they would
want to know the details of the
final bloody battles that won vic
tory for us in Europe and Asia,
We Day and VI Day, the disap-
pearance of the Nazi empire amid
fire and rubble and the abject
surrender of the japanese; the
epock-making atomic bomb; the
difficult negotiations among the
victorious powers to conserve the
peace OF the world, and the COM
plete readjustment Of policies and
personnel in the United States
government made necessary by
the sudden death Of its President,
Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the
succession of Harry S. Truman.
1.-THE World Almanac and Book
of Facts for 1946'' marks the 61st
year of publication of what has
long since become the most widely
consulted book of information in
the country. 1t is published by
the New York World-Telegram, a
Scripps Howard newspaper. 1t
offers, in addition to the chron-
ology of the war, the specific text
of the surrender documents and
such important state papers as
the statements on the occupation
of Germany, the Potsdam Dec
laration and the Berlin-Potsdam
conference. It gives the full text
of the charter of the United Ma
tons organization adopted in San
Francisco and the record of ratifi-
cation. It gives a compact account
of the atomic bomb and its effect
on international relations.
These matters alone give his
toric weight to this years Al
manac, but the CT Joe who con-
suits it probably will turn just as
to the records of his
battle and casualties. From the

JAP GOVERNMENT
WILL CRACK DOWN

TOKYO, Jan. 22.-R-The Jan.
anese government got ready today
to crack down on the black mar
ket in rice-basic food crop of this
hungry nation-by withholding fer
tilizers and farm machinery from
farmers sabotaging the legal food
marketing program.
Farmers currently sell rice to
government purchasing agents on
voluntary basis, for resale to the
public in rationed quantities at
fixed prices. But only 80 percent
of the crop has been reaching the
consumer in this way. The rest is
sold on the black market at prices
many times the official rate.
Wataru Narahashi, chief secre-
tary of the cabinet, said the gov
eminent was forced to take strong
action to prevent "a serious crisis"
in food, and to make possible the
importation of supplemental food
stuffs from abroad.
The Ministries of Finance and
Commerce meanwhile col1aborated
on a plan to force wealthy jap
anese to sell boarded stocks of
goods accumulated in an effort to
evade taxation.
General Macarthur ordered the
government to provide detailed in
formation concerning IA Zaibatsu

holding companies, including the
names of major officers and of per-
sons holding more than one percent
Of the stock.
The purge of ultra-Nationalists

chinery also continued as more
than 20 prefectural governors and

Bladen Man Gets
Five Year Term

WHITEVILLE, Jan. 22.-Davic
Jacobs of Baden county was sen
fenced to five years in prison fol
burning an automobile to collec1
insurance, Insurance Commission
er William P. Hodges of Raleigh
stated.
Jacobs was sentenced in Eliza
BEETHOVEN on January 10th BY
Superior Court Judge Clawsor
Williams. Jacobs was given five
years for burning the car and ar
additional five years to run con.
currently for preparing a false
proof of the law.
Also Thurmon Patrick, also Of
Bladen county, charged with being
an accessory to the burning re-
ceived a three to five year SEN
tence.
The automobile, a 1888 model
Ford was rebuilt and equipped
with new tires by Whiteville
garage and insurance was placed
to cover the note for the repairs.
The car was found burned in a
secluded spot of woods and evil
dence showed that fire was built
under each of the four wheels.
There was evidence also to show
that the new tires had been re-
moved from the car and other
tires had replaced them, also the
car was stripped of generator, bat
terry, carburater, and other parts
that could be taken off before it
was burned.
It was claimed by Jacobs that
the car caught fire while he was
driving same and that he and the
other occupant jumped out of the
car, also this was claimed to be a
different time of the day from the
time the car was discovered burn
ing by two game wardens late at
night who were going through the
woods looking for violators of the
game law and found the car burn
ing with the parts missing from it.

MENTAL HYGIENE
CLINIC PROPOSED

Support of a proposed mental
hygiene clinic was given by mem
bers of the Community Chest and
Community Council at their joint
meeting in St. PauPs Lutheran
parish house Monday night when
it was pointed out to them that -
within ten years there will be TO-
100000 children requiring assist
ance of such clinic.
The discussion was held in the
absence of DR.. David A. Young,
state psychiatrist, who was to have
spoken to them on the subject of
Mental Hygiene"
Leaders of youth agencies in the
community stressed the need of
such set-up in the community life
of Wilmington saying in substance
it will be a direct aid to the
youths with whom they work. Ex-
pressing. their support of the plan
were Mrs Helen Jones, Girl
Scouts; CORTLAND Baker, Boy
Scouts, and Walter Bess, Sea
Scouts.
A Miss Barrie, an employee of
the State Department of Voca-
tional Training, informed the
gathering that similar clinics have
been set up in other cities,
and are working directly with
many cases, especially in the cases
of returned veterans.
Miss Virginia Herrin, New Han
over High school, stressed the
value of the work. especially
among children and youths of
school age.
Rabbi Samuel A. Friedman, of
B'Nai Israel congregation, quoted
figures and facts revealed in
cent national survey. He declared
figures and facts revealed in a
recent months point to a total of
100000 children alone who will be
mental patients or viii need the
resources of a Mental Hygience
clinic within the next ten years.
Possibilities of the once-proposed
domestic relations court becoming
reality were discussed by the
Rev. Walter B. Freed. He explain
ed the court was proposed here
more than year ago. At the
present time, he pointed out, there
are no such courts in the state.

to establish them. $500

ALL FARMERS ,

The increase in Democratic per-
centage this year as compared to
1914 comes about because OF a
rise in Democratic strength among
Southern farmers. Whereas the
vote among Southern farmers in
1914 is estimated at 66 per cent
Democratic, today the survey finds
approximately three out of four
Southern farmers favoring the
Democrats if a presidential cleo
ton were held.
This gain, however, is Of no
particular value to the Democrats
in presidential election, because
increased strength in the solid
South does not bring any increase
in electoral votes.
A relatively small Democratic
gain in mid-western states could
yield much richer political divi-
dends in an election year than a
very substantial gain in states
where a Democratic majority has
always been assured.
