The man who has a bank account is independent, he is thrifty, he is able to pay his way, and he contributes to the general wealth of his community. His funds are in circulation.

How We Lead in Swine Of cattle the world contains proba bly four hundred and seventy-five mil lion head, of which the United States has about one-seventh. * Of sheep the worl dcontains approxi mately five hundred million head, of which the United States has about one-tenth. Of swine the world contains in the neighborhood of one hundred and eighty million head, of which the United States contains considerably more than one-third. In other words, swine are less nu merous than either sheep or cattle in the world at large, but are more numerous than either in the United States. Or the same classes may be consid ered in this way: In cattle the United States is sec ond to India, with three other coun tries, Russia, Brazil and Argentina, following. In sheep the United States is sec ond to Australia, with Argentina, Rus sia and New Zealand the principal shepe raising comeptitors. In swine ^the United States is easily first, and this year has more hogs than her ten nearest competitors all combined. The closest of these are Brazil, Germany and Russia. So the greater abundance of swine is perhaps the most noteworthy dif- , ference between the meat resources of the United States and most other countries.

If four farmers .representing four dif ferent types of soill can produce more than one bale per acre, it is possible to grow this kind on every afrm in the county. It shows we can grow more cotton on less acres, and every busi ness man knows this would be more profitable with the boll weevil sec tions—they will be kept under better control.

Germans Bitter Over Seized Property Washington.—Publication in Germa ny of the alien property custodian’s report dealing with the seizure of en emy property in this country has evoked a storm of press criticism which the American mission, in an official cablegram, made public, de scribed as “very bitter.” “This com ment is probably inspired and may be considered as propaganda,” the ca blegram runs. “Deutsche Allegeme- ine Zeitung says work discloses mal ice and injustice on the part of the adversaries of Germany unexampled in the war. Vosische Zeitung states if Americans of Palmer’s make-up have their way the peace that Germany has will be the peace of the graveyard.” Governor of Mississippi In Fistic Fight Jackson, Miss.—Walter Dent, assis tant attorney general of Mississippi, knocked Governor Theodore Bilbo down in a fist fight, in the office of the secretary of state, Joseph Powers, who with other officers’ separated the men. Dent, in a formal statement after the encounter, said he resented an insult in a recent statement printed in the newspapers and which was quoted as the governor’s. Governor Bilbo said he was^truck without warning. No ar rests were made. ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER.
