ALL Is CALM
The Board Has Assumed a New
Attitude.


The board assembled last night to
continue it's usual routine of work.
The meeting was called together
with Mayor Rich in the chair and
hll of the other officials and members
present All seemed quiet along the
stormy banks of the murmuring
stream that flows down Front street
the murmuring arising from the
bled body was all that broke the
less of the neighborhood.
rrhe first move on the program was
to add another section to the record
of the many problems of municipal
mystery. The board resolved another
resolution. 1t seems as though 1t Is
asquestion of who will get in the best
worded and most complete resolution
submitted for the city attorney was
given power to do what appears from
the boards standpoint, his duty. He
was instructed to bring such suit
and execute such actions as would in
vest Mr.. Cook and the newly-elected
police force with the authority
pointed out by the board for their
duties.
An ordinance to establish a grade
for sidewalks was referred to the side
walks and street committees.
1t was determined that a clerical
error had been made in the assessment
of Mr.. Wainwright's property at $500
instead of $50 and it was ordered re-
duced accordingly.
Mr.. George thought that the boe I'd
would benefit the city by accepting
pay for only two meetings. A mo-
tion was made to that effect and car
ried.
The minutes for the past few meet
ings were read and adopted over Mr..
Dunn's no.
y Mr.. Dunn said that he was in IA
4 vor of free work or work for pay.
Ir. George said that he did not
link the board deserved, or should
ke full ay for its services. Mr..
nm said he was h~artily in favor OF
first part of Mr.. Georges state.
Int, or that the board didn't pay
the work for they had done
pighty little good for the city any
hit
motion was next made and car
he'd to adjourn until the next regular
meeting night.

Special to the Daily Progress.

jackson, Jan. 20.-The citizens of
jefferson county have adopted radical
measures of suppressing the white
cappers in that county. Realizing
that the labor troubles are caused en-
tirley by labor agents who desire TO
entice the nergoes to the delta, the
citizens have appointed committees in
each section of the county to keep a
lookout for these agents and when
captured they are given the extreme
penalty of the law, which is 800
fine for each offense. One agent has
thus been dealt with and affidavits
have been made against three others
who will be captured and brought
back to the county within few days.

PROHIBITIONISTS AT WORK
County Mass Meetings Have Been
Called in Number of Counties.
Special TO the Daily Progress.


Jackson, Jan. 20.-During the past
week county mass meetings have been
called in a number of the counties Of
Mississippi to select delegates and
formulate suggestive resolutions to be
presented at the prohibition state con-
vention to convene in Jackson on the
nth of February. The county meet
ings are being set for the End of Feb
ruary, and it is hoped to have con-
vention held in every county in the
state ON that day.
There has been some revival OF in
terest in the prohibition movement as
an issue in the state campaign this
year, and the leaders have set energet-
icalls to work to make the gathering
a success. 1t is probable that about
two thirds of the counties will be rep
resented by accredited delegates in
the convention.

sleds and benches.
great effort has been made to find a game
other than baseball or football which will stay
planted" Prisoners base still requires an in
structor TO umpire, and duck ONT the-roCk is
just as bad. One of the workers invented a new
game last year called Hunt the squirrel"
which is fairly popular. He substituted an Oh
slaught with light volley ball in a bag for the
usual method of tagging, and the boys promptly
christened the game Jack the Slugger."
Lack of room brought about a modification of
the game of football last year. and many
games We're played field % yards long and
80 yards wide, instead of the regulation 10
yards by 90 yards This smaller field makes
football a city we'll as a country game, and.
therefore, of far greater social utility to the
young American of the present and the future.
1t seemed to be more popular than the regula-
ton game, possibly, because the goal line was
never far away and the interest at all times
was intense.
1t is a great experience for a city child TO
take home and have cooked and served up at
the family table some vegetables of his own
raising, and hundreds of Boston children have
gardens this summer. They take great care in
raising the crop, and it is possible to tell just
how much each little plot produces, for the
children count the vegetables time and again
Last summer one garden, a small one, produced
300 bunches of radishes. 127 beets, as heads
of lettuce and 80 cabbages The only stealing
was the looting of the radish patch the night
before July t. a result of which two boys
were arrested and thoroughly frightened One
of the instructors had a room looking out on
the garden, and by use of a magaphone i'm
pressed some of the smaller boys that the gar
den guarded by more than human agencies.
For several years the Civic League has been
carrying on it's Fairgrounds all winter and the
experiment is a pronounced success. One ad-
vantage is that it makes the work continuous
and culminative, keeping the boys who most
interested in the playground together and keep
ing them loyal to the ground. Another advan

which very satisfactory, considering their
price. The most in demand a baseball

like the Harvard H" it was of incalculable
value, because one had to attain certain de-
gree of excellence in athletics before being al
lowed to it,
Mr.. Browne had 10 leave the playground be
fore it closed and out of that fact grew
humorous incident. The matrons feared that
the boys would be too much for them without
some masculine supervision and, as there were
was well grounded.
You boys are too large for a sand garden" -"
the matrons announced to those who came to
the gate the morning after his departure.
They argued the case, persisting that they
were very small. Thinking 10 settle the point
and make a definite distinction, the matrons re
piled:
only boys small enough 10 wear knickerbock-
ers can come in for the rest OF the year
There was no appeal from this verdict, and
they moved away reluctantly. The next morn
ing the gate was surrounded by one of the odd
est assortment Of boys in knickerbockers that
have ever been seen in Boston

possibly prevented the youngsters from causing
any more trouble.

1t is not we'll TO have enough of anything to
go around. What everybody have nobody
wants is a principle in the boy-grl world
Take the scissors with which paper figures are
cut out for instance. There are. perhaps, seven
or eight pairs in yard, each pair hung upon
red string to hang over the neck of the child
using it, This fortunate youngster sits
fortably and prolongs his pleasure because op-
posite him, against the wall, stand many wrig

There is still a spirit of war in the small boys
among those who were not large enough
to take notice of the recent Spanish trouble.
There small Italian youth who coaxed
his sister into lending him her paper soldiers.
Promptly he pulled their heads off, crying:
Now Use killed 'em." To him il was a mill
tary triumph for are not soldiers made to be
killed?
The Massachusetts Civic League has discov-
cred one of the first principles of handling boys
in that they belong ito the pre-democratir age
and naturally divide INTO kings and subjects"
The most effective way To affect the minds and
habits of the boys in the neighhorhood is

which, as the personal relation is essential in all

doors. There a hockey league, which

end of skating and sliding. One of the slides
