SOCIAL DAY cELEBRATED.
Communicated


The Hammond Woman's club closed
its twelfth successive year with a so
cial session in the Masonic Temple
Saturday afternoon at o'clock. Dur
ing the twelve years OF its life many
changes have come to our city which
naturally have resulted in correspond
ing changes in. the personnel of the
club, but today with a membership Of
one hundred and seventy, it stands for
the same purpose and principles as 1t
did when organized, and the members
may be justly proud of their achieve
ments.
It is interesting to note that there
are still fifteen charter members en-
rolled and 1t is doubtless due in a
large measure to their unselfish effort
and untiring energy. that the club holds
its present position in the community.
The retiring president, Mrs. Edith
Griffin, a charter member. completed
her third term in that office and this
fact alone speaks volumes of praise
for her leadership. In presenting the
gavel to the president-elect, Mrs. Min
ME Ibach, likewise a charter member,
it was termed a badge of honor and
a gift of responsibility and the men,
bers look forward to further accom-
plishments under the direction Of one
whose former record as president even
the recent year of progress cannot
dim
The social committee of which Mrs
Elene Johnston was a most efficient
chairman, had planned a treat for both
mind and body, presenting a very en-
joyable program Of music and recita-
lions, followed by delicious and dainty
refreshments. The afternoon was fit
ing climax to the years work and the
members are rejoiced to feel that their
desire to make their ideal motto a
real one has not been in vain.

Policies and Projects

There Is no country on
the globe favored with rivers
and navigable streams at cer-
tain seasons of the year and
which could, and should, be made
navigable at all seasons of the year
as this country is favored There
are no richer valleys drained by
waterways than the valleys drain
ed by the waterways of the United
States-yet there is no country
which has been SO neglectful of its
waterways as this country has
been. That such is the case is
shown by the fact that less than
seven per cent of the navigable
rivers of the United States have
been the subject of improvement.
There are many reasons for the
fact of neglect. Appropriations for
the Improvement of the waterways
of the country were sporadic, In

Mississippi State Fair.

The management of the Missis-
sippi State Fair announces their
Fifth annual show to be given at
Jackson beginning with Tuesday,
October 27th, and continuing until
November 9th. This is usually a
very pleasant time of the year, when
crops are mainly harvested, when
schools have ali assembled, and
little recreation can be easily taken
by farmers, schools, and business
people generally. The State Fair
has steadily grown from the begin
ming at the Old Capitol Building
until it has been necessary to put
up new buildings and equipment
each year. Public spirited citizens
from various counties and localities
in the State have aided greatly in
the growth and usefulness of this
annual show. All the receipts from
operation of the Fair have been ex-
pended in premiums, and entertain
ments, and improvements on Old
Capitol grounds. And each season
public subscriptions have been made
by Jackson business men to make
the Fair better, and give to the pub
lie the very highest class of enter
tain ment.
New buildings have been erected
for this season show. A large and |
structure has been
made and equipped for the poultry |
show. This will be one of the fn-
EST shows of its kind ever held in
the country.
The imputus, this Fair has given
% corn growing in the State, by its
,orn growing contest, and Boys
Corn Clubs has more than paid
pack in material worth all the Fair
las cost, all the work that has been
ione5 to say nothing of the poultry,
stock, floral culture, art, ladies, de-
and general diversified
.rops. 1t has become an education
Il institution of greatest value and
is success and permaneny is assur-
ID. During the Fair, practical de-
nonstrations will be made on the
grounds of road building machinery
md of farm implements. All the
space in buildings and on ground
has been allotted and this seasons
Fair will be the best in the history
Of the State.
One farerates will be granted by
railroad companies beginning Oct
ober the IS with limit to Novem-
er 9Th, giving all the people in the
State chance to visit the Capitol,
see the Fair, and learn what is
going on in the world and in their
own commonwealth.

sense that their application was fo
local projects, with half hearted
acquiescence In the improvement
and with the railways claiming
that the days of waterway improve
ment had passed.
The results of the neglect are
apparent today. The railways are
admitting their inability to keer
up with the marvellous increase in
freight offerings and the question
of waterway Improvement has
ceased to be political. It has be.
come an economic question forcing
hitself on the attention of the gov
ernment by the demands of trade
and commerce and by the fact that
the two great parties have taken
the question out of politics
in their respective platforms.
Therein is great step taken to the
adoption of policy as against ap-
preparations for products.
If the Federal Government had
adopted policy in the earlier days
not seven but seventy per cent of
the waterways of the United
States would be navigable today
all the year round. 1t was the
plan of projects that retarded the
improvement of the waterways so
disastrously. There was neither
definite plan nor unity of action oil
the question. The project which
received all appropriation was the
lucky project, but the result was
half way improvements, abandon
&c or carried on as the influence of
the Representative or the Senator
might reach. 1t was a piebald sys-
tenn under which seven per cent of
the navigable waterways of the
country found greater or less i'm
provement with ninety three per
cent neglected.
1t is only In the definite plan
the fixed policy of the government
that the waterways can be improv-
ed. To ask or to expect legislation
for special project today would
be to go back to the sporadic plan
The pork barrel-under which moth
ng was done and nothing could be
lone. The adoption of the policy
Urged by the national rivers and
1arbors congress would be the be-
of improvement of water
ways continued until finished, with
ldequate annual appropriations un-
Ter which the work could and
would be presented and trade and
ommerce relieved of congestions.
