MISSISSIPPI GAINING
EYES_OF NATION
Mississippi Is a State That
Leads All Others in Many
Lines of Industry
.
Statistics made by the Government
Census Department show that Misis
sippi, next to Colorado, is the health
iest State in the Union. Comparsons
of the death rate per thousand pop
ulation by States show that Missis
sippi’s per centage was 11.1, both
white and black. With blacks elim
inated, the per centage was only 8.6.
The death rate per thousand in Cali
fornia, the much advertised State of
Sunshine, was 13.1; for Massachu
setts, the state that prides itself on
its education and sanitation, 12.1; for
New York, 12.2.
Mississippi has generally been re
garded by the people of the states
further North as a swampy un
healthy state, where typhoid and
malaria raged rampant. Mississippi
ans and those familiar with the facts
knew this to be an absurd notion, yet
it has existed, to our detriment, or
many years. The above figures
should correct this impression and put
us before the nation in our true light.
Mississippi is the second healthiest
state in the Union. Think of that!
Recently the United States Com
missioner of Education said Missis
sippi has “made more progress edu
cationally with the past few years
than any state in the American Un
ion.”
Mississippi leads in Health and
Educational advancement. Missis
sippi has the richest land in the
United States. These three essential
advantages offer the home-seeker
the most desirable location in Ameri
ca.
Yet Mississippi has even more to
offer.
Mississippi made the greatest per
centage of increase in the sale of but.
ter fat of any state in the last census
period.
Mississippi lead the entire Missis
sippi Valley with a 34 per cent in
crease in corn production during the
last census period.
Mississippi led every state in the
Union during the last census period
with a 96 per cent increase in hay
production.
Last year Mississippi ranked third
in the production of cotton by states.
Mississippi stands in line to be bene
fited as much as any state in the
United States by the development of
the water power at Muscles’ Shoals,
Ala., only a few miles from the Mis
sissippi state line.
Mississippi has as good, if not bet
ter, transportation facilities than any
state in the South. Both water and
rail transportation are well devel
oped.
Thousands of other advantages can'
be truthfully enumerated. What
Mississippi needs is an advertising
campaign that will cover the whole
country. We have the advantages;
our assertations are backed by facts
and figures. California was made
by advertising; Florida came into her
own by shouting her advantages.
Mississippi can do the same.
LOOK OUT
Look out for Williamson if he gets
you by the nose,
You’ll never know when the dinner
hour blows.
Look out for Hendricks, if he gets
you by the neck,
You’ll never know but what your
name is Heck.
Look out for Tarver, if he gets you
by the tail,
Just leave your q»r at home and
hunt you up a rail.
Look out for Robinson, if he gets you
by the arm,
He’ll do you no good, but possibly
some harm.
Look out for Murray, if he is elected,
'Twill be no more than Bob
expected.

PA’S SPEX
Just a day or two ago
We had a private show
'Twafi Pa and his darned old spex
Which are forever lost
To Ma ‘tis quite a cost
For he yells for her to “hunt ’em
by Hex.”
Now Ma flurries ’roun
'Till the glasses she has found
Then calmly continues on her way .
While Pa takes a cheer
Where Ma’s work is quite near
Opening all the mail for the day.
But a day or two ago
As I have said before
His glasses were shore nuff gone
Ma found them on the floor
One lens broken, first before
Ma put two pieces back all wrong.
Pa put specks on, looking sad
Said to Ma “I’m feeling bad
Get the Dr. here right soon
Everything looks mighty queer”
Th«i poor Ma wipes off a tear
Got some water and a spoon.
Pa said “Ma, if I should die
You and children mustn’t cry
I’ll leave everything I’ve got to you”
Then Ma kissed him, saying “Dear,
You look well, why so queer?” —
P* said, “It is your first, your due ”
Pa took from his moistened eyes
Then it was the lens he spies
Says to Ma, “I’ll walk around”
Ma sees glasses, then guessed why
Pa was sick en’uf to die
First smiled, then laughed pro
found. N
Pa said, “Darn it, it was you
You keep me always in a stew
Why it is I’d like to know.
Next time you play such a trick
Putting me in such a fix
Divorce I’ll get and then I’ll go.

DANGER FROM ILL-ADVISED
LEGISLATION
Fire insurance affects directly the
protection and credit of every in
dividual.
Representatives in legislatures are
prone i^o believe that every evil, or
every practice that they think is
evil, can be remedied by legislation.
They wish to regulate by statute per
sonal and business conduct of every
kind. Laws are piled upon laws; pro
posals for state and municipal owner
ship in various fields, and other pat
ernalistic measures are common. In
Arizona a bill for a state cement plant
andi another for a state fund insur
ing state employees were introduced
recently; in Colorado it was urged
that the state shbuld write automobile
insurance; and a similar bill was in
troduced in Massachusetts, where an
effort was made to compel insurance
companies to invest forty per cent of
their premiums in dwelling houses.
In theory these measures are ap
pealing, but in practice they tend to
disturb business. Insurance is the
basis of credit. When a man has a
fire and his property is insured he
want3 his money at once. Insurance
reserves must be kept in assets that
can be turned into cash immediately.
If forty per cent of insurance com
panies’ funds were loaned on dwell
ings, and a conflagration should strike
a community during a period of de
pression, it would be impossible for
the companies to convert their mort
gages into cash with sufficient speed
to pay insurance claims a spromptly
as would be desired.
This illustrates an ill-advised
measure which would undermine the
stability of a business that is vital to
the nation.
WHY DODGE THE ISSUE?
The new inome tax figures tell a
: plain story with a plain lesson. In
i one year, the number of Americans
paying taxes on incomes above $100,
£00 decreased from 3,600 to 2,300.
That is a loss of 1,300.
The governments of the United
States are practically inviting people
to evade their taxes by seeking re
lief through investment in tax-free
securities.
The governments, local and nation
al, lay before the man of large in
come a great mass of their securities,
every few days, and say to them:
If you will hand over some 6f youi
money in exchange for these securi
ties, we will see that you pay no tax
es on the income that you draw from
the loan.
Many taxpayers accept this in
vitation and thus evade, or dodge
taxes, thereby unloading a fierce tas
burden on the rest of us. ,
So long as the governments impost
enormous taxes, and at the same time
offer a ready way out, the presenl
abuse will go on.
Politicians who rage against riel
tax dodgers, and then vote for tax
free securities, are merely beating
the air, and they know it

I UTAH UPHOLDS CONSTITUTION
I ,The recent Utah legislature, enact
I ed a statute providing that; “It shall
| be unlawful for any person or per.
I sons acting singly or jointly with an
other or others, by means of any
kind of force, threats, coercian, in
timidation, or violence to cause or
induce or to attempt to cause or in
duce, any person engaged in a law
ful occupation to quit such employ
ment, or to refuse or to decline to
accept or begin, a lawful employ
ment.” The penalty for violation
of this law shall be a fine not exceed
ing $300, a jail sentence of six
months or both.
Utah is determined to give every
man his constitutional right to work
at a lawfufl occupation. This may
be objectionable to dictators but it
is a fine thing for the country.
REGISTRATION NOTICE

citizens to the fact that a new reg
istration of voters have been ordered

istered—registration books open for
registration at both Coffeeville and
Water Valley Circuit Clerks offices.
Don’t fail to register.

RADIO IMPROVES
RIVER SERVICE
The radio developmet of radio and
its use in commercial life are illu
strated in its application to the opera
tion of steamboats on the Mississippi
river from St Louis to New Orleans
1100 miles.
One of the great ojections to river
traffic in the past was its isolation.
Today all of the towboats and self
propelled barge units used on short
auxiliary runs as feeders are equip
ped with wireless. They report their
positions several times a day and
their movements are watcher as
closely as are train movements in a
dispatcher’s office.
Radio is revolutionizing Missis
sippi river shipping and speeding up
the arrival and departure of freight
though, putting tha shipper and the
boat companies in close touch with
each other, thus obviating delays in
loading and unloading freight or in
waiting on the arrival or departure
of boats.
In this manner radio supplies a
missing link in our inland water ways
transportation.
SIGNALS OF DISTRESS
Water Valley People Should Know
How Co Read and Heed Them.
Disordered kidneys give many sig
nals of distress.
The secretions may be dark, con
tain sediment.
Passages are sometimes frequent,
scanty, painful.
Backache is often present day and
night
Headaches and dizzy spells may oc
cur.
Weakened kidneys should receive
quick help.
Don’t delay. Use a special kidney
remedy.
Doan’s Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys, backache and urinary dis
orders.
Water Valley evidence proves their
worth.
J. B. Trusty, mechanic, Central St.,
Water Valley, says: “Some time ago
my kidneys became weak. They act
ed too often and the secretions were
changeable in color, sometimes they
were dark and then again as clear as
spring water. I heard Doan’s Kidney
Pill's so well spoken of l bought a box
at the Trusty Drug Store. Doan’s
cured me of the trouble and my kid
neys are now as strong «s they ever
were. I am glad to recommend Doan’s.
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that

THE PEOPLE MUST HELP
Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, in an
address in Los Angeles, wams the A
merican people that never again will
federal taxes l^e less than $3,000,
000,0(10 a year, and says that prob
ably in a few years they will be
more than that.
With such an annual overhead star,
ing us in the face, it would seem
the height of folly for either states
or nation to burden the taxpeyers
with socialistic undertakings which
Involve the government in industrial
activity in various forms such as ad
vqcated by so-called progressive,
ultra-progressive and radical politi
cal leaders. The best way to keep the
tax bill down is to keep the govern
ment out of business, reduce the of
ficial overhead at every point possi
. ble, do away with the issuance of
tax-exempt bonds which now offer
a loophole for billions of dollars of
wealth to escape taxation, and to
fight for business administration in
every department from the smallest
school district up to the nation itself.
