GETTING THE PEOPLE’S MONEY
Grafts designed to get the people’s money spring up daily,
and many of them are operated with great success.
One of the great troubles is that too
too little trouble ‘to find out what they are
money.
People, as a rule, are not inclined to complain much when
they can see what they are getting for their money, but they
do get critical when they know that undue advantage is being
taken of them.
, Through carelessness and lack of nerve to stick up for
what is right, many people stand for being grafted and refuse
do help in putting a stop to it.
To get the best value for your money you should first know
your requirements, after which you s
jnents of your local business concers
know where to fill your tfjieds.
Always bear in mind the proven fact that only the best
quality can stand the light of continuous advertising.
The progressive business concerns of your home city have
a constant capacity to understand your needs and they always who
endeavor to be just, honest, fair and courteous to you.

MORE UNPAID GROCERY BILLS
The fact that Mississippi pays her governor but a small
salary is not considered sufficient justificaition for this sort of
thing and members of the general assembly have intimated
rather broadly that the reason Mr. Hawie’s bill for groceries
remains unsettled is'; because the storekeeper has a brother in
the state penitentiary—for whom a pardon is being sought.
Mississippi legislators are concerned because; Gov. Theo-
dore Bilbo has not paid a $600 grocery bill, this amount, it is
said, being owed an Assyrian! groceryman, by name A. G.
Hawie.
Whatever the reason,^ Grocer Hawie ought to get his mon-
ey—and doubtless will, since the legislators have begun snoop-
ing around the kitchen of the executive mansion at Jackson.
The chief executive asserts that the petition for executive
clemency has nothing toido with the failure to( square accounts
with the convict’s brother, and hints, on the contrary, that the
legislators have failed to make an appropriation for the guber- Republican county convention
natorial wages.

Summer is
Enjoy it with
RE you going to have a gloriously good
/'y time this summer? Plenty of energy for
an extra swim, another nine holes of golf, or a
picnic at a moment’s notice? Mucn depends
upon the kind and condition of the food you eat.
The summer diet should consist largely of
vegetables and fruits, desserts which are light
and cooling, and plenty of fresh fruit drinks.
A diet such as this, together with the abundant
use of ICE to keep foods fresh and appetizing,
is almost sure to take you through the summer
feeling fit as a fiddle.
The value of ICE-freshened
Food
There’s a savor and flavor to ICE-freshened
food that your family will be quick to notice
and appreciate, for ICE keeps foods in theii
tiatiirnl condition. There’s no drying out of
meats and vegetables, no withering of fruits.
ICE maintains a cold sufficiently low to keep
foods sweet and safe and creates an atmosphere
that is just right to retain in foods all their
delicious juices and flavors. The constant
circulation of air in a well-iced refrigerator
prevents any interchange of food flavors and
odors. Remember—ICE is cheap you can
use it freely. Let us keep you supplied this
summer.
Judge J. R. Nichols is rest-
ing well today following a
stroke of paralysis last night. ‘
Mr. Nichols was striken while
making a talk before an audi-
ence assembled to hear the
band concert. The large aud-
ience was not aware of 1—
fact for he completed his talk,
made his way to one side of
the bandstand and remained
seated until the close of the
program. Calmly he inform-
ed ?£r. Busey and others that
he was ill. He was taken to
his home en South First street
where medical aid was sum-
moned. Barron Johns of
executive Shreveport was carted to his
bedside to assist Ucal physi-
cians.
Mr. Nichol’s illness is a
shock to the entire city and all
of East Texas. He is an out-
standing leader in town and
community building. He is
secretary of the Timpson
Chamber of Commerce and
gave his untiring efforts to this
work. As president o,f the
Airline Association, he has led |

LARGE PLANTERS REDUCE?
The campaign for cotton acreage reduction has reached
every section of the cotton belt. There are but few far^ls
who do not understand what a large acreage and a noima
yield will mean to them in price. Yet, it is doubtful if the cut
in acreage will equal present demand for a smallei crop.
Small farmers state, and justly, too, that the cutting ot
acreage is always left to them; that the large planter espec-
ially the large landowner who farms with tenants, will, as us-
ual, plant every available acre. Should this prove true, then
look out for another low price year. ,
The large landowner, unless organized for lovestock
farming will have difficulty in reducing his cotton acreage.
Cotton, like wheat, is a crop that is being produced more and
more on large farms, where power machinery can be used to
an advantage. The small wheat farmer has practically ceas-
ed to exist. The small cotton farmer may have to give way to
the trend towards farming on a large scale. In one respect,
however, the small farmer in the cotton belt has the advantage
of the old time small wheat farmer,
and paying special attention to acre
the farmer with a few acres of cotton will find that he has a
money crop worth while. The large scale cotton farmer will appointed,
depend largely upon the total bulk of many acres. The small
farmer, by the use of good seed and by carefully fertilizing and
cultivating will be able to produce a staple that will command
a premium. If he has made his living from other farm pro-
ducts, his cotton will be the same as money in the bank. Large
planters can not always successfully specialize in quality even
though they plant good seed. The small planter can grow
special cotton for special uses and make money.
Coming back to the original subject. Farm and Ranch
expressed the opinion that the large planters will be doing
themselves a favor by doing their share towards reducing acre-
age in 1930 even though they have to let some land lie out.
