Women school teachers at Ell Paso,
Texas, will have to wear short skirts.
Upon the suggestion of Dr. F. w. Gal
lagher, member of the Board of
Trustees, that the heightened skirts
gathered up consumption germs which
were carried among the children, the
order was adopted. We hope,
if the teachers of the male per-
suasion wear mustaches, the scien-
tific M. d. will require them at once to
go clean shaven; as the latest disclos-
ure of profound medical authority is,
that the worst seed buds that human
flesh is heir to, turks in the long hair
on the upper lip of "Man, proud man"
See to it, doctor; for to make assurance
doubly sure, you have only to reflect

About Experiment Stations.

The provision for the branch exper-
mental station by the recent session
of the legislature in the piny woods
of Mississippi, about which so much
has been recently said in the press of
the state, caused the manager of the
Picayune bureau to secure some data
in support of his recent suggestion
that branch experimental station in
the delta be provided by the session Of
the legislature of 1902. Mississippi is
an agricultural state, and Mississippi
must do what other states are doing
along this line. There is no standing
still amid the march of modern pro-
gress in the matter of agriculture or
anything else. The state or any part
of state that does not advance, as
surely retrogrades.
The objects of the experimental sta
tion are; l. To determine the physical
and chemical analysis of soils, the crops
and various classes of soils, the best
systems of rotation of crops, the most
economical method of cultivating and
