the largest enrolment the Normal

present beautiful picture of earnest

much-needed equipment will be added
to the laboratories and class rooms.
The sewer and flushing plant has been
completed and is giving excellent ser

the water tower and the electric light

for the concrete walks is expected in
few days, the painting of the build
ings will soon begin and the addi-

already beautiful grounds will make
Normal Hill a good place to live and
work. The new school gardens Tor
the model school and the classes in
agriculture have aroused new interest
among the students.

received letter from Sheriff Clack
of West Feliciana parish, requesting
that Henry Jackson, who escaped
from the officers of that parish while
being brought TO Baton Rouge for
prison, be turned over to the West
Feliciana parish officials. Jackson,
after he escaped from the custody of
the West Feliciana officers, stole a
horse in this parish, was arrested
here, sentenced to two years in the
state penitentiary, and will probably
have TO spend the two years in the
state prison before the West Feliciana
officers can get him.

peculiar system of feeding was found
tn be in vogue. There are three extra
messes in the dining hall for civilians,
men working in the power house, farm
Iaborers and others, whose nearest ap-
proach to serving their country was
when they once purchased z-ceIl'
stamp from the United States post
office. According to the men. the Of
ficers, clerks and persons working on
pay get a quite different type of food
from that which is doled out to the
men for whom the home was built.
These men pay extra for "addltlonals,
which practically compose their menu.
Even the band seems to outrank the
fighting men when it comes to dining
room service, for the musical persons
dine at a separate table at which no
soldiers are allowed to eat. The worst
offense which the men who are en-
titled to the benefits claim is perpe-
trated on them is that many men who
have no right to partake Of the bounty
of the government are fed from the
limited supply of rations, and when
the number of persons to be fed from a
given amount of money is increased
unnecessarily, it naturally follows that
the grade of nourishment given out
will be poorer or else it will be lack
ing in quality.
Patronized by Superiors
In spite of the trying condition Of
physical discomfort, the added misfOr-
tune of mental discomfort has been
brought into the lives of the tired old
men in blue. for they are patronized
and snubbed by men who from all ap-
pearances are the superior of none in
either mentality or attainment. The
"iron man" Bismarck or the conquer
ing Alexander could not possibly OBJ
serve any greater military grandeur
than does the governor, and when the
meek and lowly reporter from The
Herald requested to be permitted to
speak to the heroic person who ap-
peared at his desk in the headquarters
building a most positive refusal was
returned.
The mighty man of battle jumped up
from his desk and left his office, pre-
sumably to give orders to the other
Los Angeles herald., 1909-07-22

departments not to speak to the varlet
who came to disturb the reposeful Of
flee. The orders were carried out to
the letter, and the only man who would
talk was a person called Burns, who
had a desk outside the governors office.
Burns read the unfortunate visitor a
long lecture, and spoke in a very loud
voice. so that the commander could
hear how duhiful his underlings COM
ported themselves. His daring grew
greater when the militant Cochrane ap-
peared again in the next room and
gruffly commanded the faithful Burns
to close the door.
Treasurer's Son Privileged
At the office of Treasurer Moore the
orders of the governor evidently had
had their effect, for Ronald Moore met
the reporter at the door and informed
! him he could not talk to any one IN
the building. Ronald Moore holds the
exalted position of 'sOn of the treas
urer," and he makes it his profession
in a whole souled manner. A soldier
is not allowed to walk on the grass,
but Ronald enjoys that privilege, as
we'll as many others denied the men
who earned their right to respect and
veneration in the bloody trenches or
shell swept battle lines Of the great
Civil War.
Men who then bowed only to the
starry banner, which they defended so
nobly. are now expected to crook the
knee of servility to pasty faced clerks
whose duty it is to care for their
needs.
Many who find the shadows Of life
now turning toward the east, and the
meridian of life long past, had hoped
in the twilight of their earthly career
to find a place of rest and comfort for
their tired bodies, which have in many
cases grown prematurely bent through
the hardships encountered in the pres
ervation of the nation. Thousands be-
lieve that the country's defenders are
now receiving a reward of merit and
achievement in the places which the
nation provides for her chosen heroes,
but at Sawtelle, at least, it does not
seem that the wishes of the grateful
citizens are being carried out. and the

The enforcement Of prohibition
laws in the cities is causing con-
siderable trouble to both munich
nal and county officers. In cities
of any size such as Memphis,
Atlanta, Mobile and Birming-
ham, where prohibition has
recently gone into effect com
plant is made daily that the law
is not enforced and that liquor is
sold openly and in defiance of the
law.
The reason for this can be
found in the fact that the cities
favor the saloon system of hand
ling tie liquor question and op-
pose the enforced prohibition
voted on them by the rural dis
tricts. Police officers as a rule
owe much to the liquor element
and in return for past favors are
lax in bringing violators before
the bar Of justice to be punished.
Social clubs and blind tigers will
continue to dispense favorite
beverages in the cities until the
sentiment among the citizens
has been educated up to the
point of putting a stop to it. The
task is a difficult one and a long
ficht viii be waged before it il
accomplished. Until Uncle SAD
takes hold Of the question anc
sets his foot down on it tht
larger cities will not be able t.
enforce the law opposed to tht
sale of whiskey.

ORDINANCE.

The Board of Mayor and Aid.
ermen at the last regular meet
ing passed an ordinance regula-
ting the running of automobiles
in the city limits. With the in
creased number of automobiles
the board deemed it advisable to
take such steps as they felt
proper to insure the safety of the
public by throwing some restric-
tons around the use of the auto
mobile.
The ordinance contains two
sections which we call especial
attention to. First, No person
may attempt to run one who has
not been coached by an expert
enced person for a period of ten
days. Second, No person under
Is years of age can run an auto
mobile within the city limits.
This last section is eminently
wise and should be observed to
the letter. Young people haven't
the Judgment and do not use the
nrecautiOn necessary in handling
so dangerous a machine as the
automobile. The use of an auto
mobile should be limited to the
person Of experience and right
judgment.

Ripiey's Flour Mill.

We gather from reading our
exchanges in North Mississippi
that the matter of wheat SOW
ing is being agitated and discuss
ed all over the country. There
seems now to be no doubt but
that this part Of the state will
SOW a good deal Of wheat this
fall. In some counties there
seems however to be no pros
pect of a flour mill and that fact
may deter some farmers from
going into the wheat business.
In this connection we wish to
say that a flour mill in Ripley is
practically q sure thing. Now
then farmers can afford to bring
wheat here from several counties
in this part of the state, especi-
ally counties located on the nj. j.
& K. c.. railroad. We have no
authority to say so but we be-
lieve that a special rate for
transportation can be secured
from the railroad as an induce
ment for farmers to grow this
much used product. Then again
wheat can be brought to Ripley
over land for 40 or so miles
around, If the mill is put IN
here camping houses and barns
will be provided for those WHO
might wish such accommodations
The mill to be put in here is not
to be an "old fashioned corn
MILF but will be an up-to-date
roller mill that will make good
white flour. The Sentinel would
like to hear from those of other
counties who might wish to bring
wheat to Ripley until a local mil
is provided for them. Ripley

south who buys his corn it will
be gratifying Information to
koow that corn will be plentiful
somewhere; high priced corn Tor
several years has made the crops
in this section expensive ones to
raise and profits have been cut
down by the necessary outlay
for the food stuffs that should
have been raised at home. 1t is
to be hoped that corn may be
bought for less than a dollar
during the coming spring, and in
planting the new crop every man
should first see that his supply
of corn will be equal to all de
mands upon it.
