From General Macarthur:

From General Macarthur:
by the devious method of
expenditure progressively be-
yond income and by increasing
taxation to keep pace with ex-
penditure, these political lead
ers have been rapidly exhaust
ing the remaining revenue pro-
ducing potential of the citi-
zenry. This has rendered the
states and other communities
increasingly dependent upon
the Federal Government.
1T places the state in the
position of a supplicant. This
method of employing the
power to tax is not only de-
stroying the principle of state
and community autonomy up
on which is erected our con-
stitutional system of repre-
sentative government, but it
is rapidly sapping the pro-
ductive energies and the ere
alive initiative of our people,
If it continues, our economic
system of free enterprise, the
great bulwark of political and
economic freedom, must in
evitably perish.
History records that human
liberty has oft times been
destroyed by the sword, but
never before by a disingenu-
Gus application of constitu'
tional powers expressly de-
signed to ensure its preserva-
ton.

Holmes County Is One Of Top Cotton
Producers In Magnolia State;
Has s. Million Livestock Investment
Over SO, 900 Acres :
Will Be Planted
In Cotton 81.

Holmes county with both, hill
and Delta lands planted in cot
ton, had a production of az
pounds of lint per acre in 1851.
This, according to County Agent
W. r. Sullivan. is apparently
higher than all other counties in 7,
Mississippi.
A total of 44,26S bales were
ginned, and had a value OF
$8,853.600. It is estimated that
the cotton seed production had ,
conservatively estimated one
third value of the lint. This
placed the gross return of the
cotton crop in Holmes county at
well over the $l1, 000,0 figure.
Despite the two-months drouth
OF last summer, the $4,000 acres
planted in cotton produced the
third largest of the last ten
years. The 1913 crop of 46,7O0
and the 1912 crop of 6,466 bales
were the only ones to exceed it.
Increased use of fertilizer and
use of poisoning had much to
do with the increased produc-
ton in 1851 over the handicap
of rainless weather, Mr.. Sullivan
said.
Monday was a beautiful day
and Mr.. Sullivan commented that
it will make conditions ideal fer
blowing in preparation for huge
crop. Already many of Holmes
county farmers have gotten in
some blowing. He estimated
that from $4,000 to $4,000 acres
will be planted in cotton in 1852.
IF there is no bad weather
handicap Holmes county will
produce a great CROP" he con-
tlnued. This will be furthered.
too, by the greatly increased use
OF chemical weed control in the
Delta areas. This will eliminate
TWO or three choppings. This
weed control can be carried on
at present only on the large farms
with mechanical equipment. II
is hoped that a method may be-
developed for its use on sma I :
farms"
The value of livestock in Holm
es county in 1851 was estimateds
by MIR. Sullivan at $4,000. 900. He.
Inquired that at least rs per cent
OF this represented net profit to-.
the live stock grower. In COM.
parlson, it is estimated that the,
cost of producing cotton on bieg
mechanically equipped farms is
30 per cent of the gross return
and on small farms runs as high
as 70 per cent. There is contin-
ual study by agricultural depart
ments to produce methods for in
creased production on maL
farms.
The use of more fertilizer ixs
urged, and if the weed controIl
poisoning equipment is develop
ed for use by hand or mule, il
will be boon to the small farm
er. TO supplement his income.

THROUGH
HAZEL
EYES
BY Hassl Bronnon Smith

The Importance of a nation
al organization like the Ameri-
can Red Cross was demonstrat-
ed this week when the tor
nado hit citizens of Arkan-
sas and four other states kill
ing and manning hundreds Of
people, wrecking havoc with
homes and possessions. The
loss in lives now totals more
than 252 with more than 100
injured and thousands home
less. Property damage has
been estimated roughly at ten
million dollars and win prob
ably be much more.
From every section through
out the country Red Cross
workers have come into the
disaster stricken areas and
are on the Job giving relief and
help where they are most ur-
gently needed. They are
working round the clock to
provide bod, clothing, shell
ter, whole blood and plasma,
cots, blankets, emergency
power generators, water puri-
fiers and numerous other need
ed supplies, equipment and
personal services.
It is for jobs like these that
we must continue to support
the Red Cross and give Of our
means through it to help those
less fortunate than ourselves.
The current Red Cross cam
paign in Holmes county is
going very slowly. Only about
one-third of the $4,000 quota
has been subscribed.
Only four small communities
have subscribed their quotas,
Franklin, Emory, Richland and
Oregon.
If you have not made a con-
tribution yet won't you do SO
without further delay?
Governor Hugh White paid
a wonderful tribute to Gen.
eral Douglas Macarthur when
he introduced the distinguished
military figure to the joint ses-
sion of the Mississippi State
legislature in Jackson Satur-
day afternoon.
The tribute applied to Mac
Arthur had been penned by
Macarthur on another occa-
sion in lauding the American
soldier in an address before
members of the And Rainbow
Division:
THE unsurpassed military
genius of the American soldier
will stand forth in undimmed
luster, in his youth and
strength, his love and loyalty.
He gave all that mortality can
give. He needs no eulogy from
me or from any other man; he
has written his own history and
written it in red on his en-
emy's breast. But when !
think of his patience under
adversely, or his courage under
fire, l am filled with an emo
ton l cannot express. he
belongs to history as furnish
ing one Of the greatest ex-
amples of successful and dis
interested patriotism. He be-
longs to posterity as the in
structor Of future generations
in the principles Of liberty and
right. He belongs to the pres
ent - to us - by his glory,
by his virtues, and by his ach-
ievements. The memorials OF
character wrought by him can
never be dimmed. He needs
no statues or monuments. He
has stamped himself in blazing
flames upon the souls OF his
countrymen, he has carved his
own statue in the hearts OF
his people, he has built ms
own monument in the men,
ory of his compatriots."
