woman who sews great deal OF
the time has found that her back does
not become so tired IL her chair Is
low. or If she has stool upon which
to rest her feet. 1t is surprising what
difference the comfortable position
makes and how much more work she
can do. Should the arms become
weary she puts a cushhion in her lap.
On this she rests her elbows, chang
ing the position of her sewing, thus
giving both arms and eyes a chance
to recover.
The beaten whites of eggs will be
found an excellent substitute for

Encourage the Fairs.
If Mississippi would grow prosperous
as the years go by, it must come as a
result of the development of her agri-
cultural resources. Money used for this
purpose is by no means an expenditure,
but an investment. Every dollar of add
ed wealth is the means for producing
greater revenue for the use of state,
county and municipal purposes. These
dollars are as bread cast upon the waters
that will return an hundred fold.
During the past four years the NUN,

STAINING the Stairs,

An amusing and ingenious device
for staining stair steps which are in
constant use is to stain every other
step first. While these are drying the
family is urged to go up and come
down stairs two steps at time When
the first lot are dry stain the remain
ing alternate steps. This protects
the stairs from scratching and incl
dentally provides considerable amuse-
ment for the members of the family
who are not engaged in mounting or
descending and can look on at the eff
forts of those who are If two coats
of stain are necessary, the inhabitants
of the house will no doubt become
quite skillful in the sport.

PRINCE ITO MURDERED
WHOLE WORLD REGRETS HIS
ASSASSINATION.
Death of Great Statesman Will Not
Affect the Policy He Had
Mapped Out.

Tokio.-Hiorbumi Ito, a prince of Ja-
pan, but the greatest commoner in the
empire, and for two years the uncrowned
ruler of Korea, who, hoping to rebuild
the country, stood between Korea and
the degradation of immediate annexa-
tion, was .assassinated by Koreans at
Harbin, Manchuria, to which he went
in his capacity as president of the privy
council, on mission of peace.
Prior to his departure Prince Ito said
to the Associated Press: II am going
on my own initiative, with the approval
of my emperor, with tire hope of secur-
ing better understanding with China
and of assuring the world that Japan's
intentions in Manchuria are amicable to
China and friendly to the commerce of
all nations. When l return l hope to
give positive evidence of this"
Undoubtedly Prince Ito intended to
inaugurate and enforce distinct policy
in Manchuria, but the exact nature of
this was not disclosed. Marquis Katsura,
the premier and minister of finance, aft
er the assassination, said in an inter
view:
"The death of Prince Ito will not
change the policies of Japan. The pacific
motives Of Prince Ito will ever be main
tanned, and the traditions left by him
will always be followed"
The entire nation is in mourning, the
flags of the foreign embassies have been
placed at halfmast, while all public and
many private functions have been aban-
doned. The japanese and foreign news
papers appear with black borders. Only
the death of the emperor could arouse
similar demonstrations of sympathy. Per-
haps Prince Ito's death causes more uni
versal sincerity and grief because he was
idoiized by the masses as the great
counsellor of the elder statesmen, the
creator of the cabinet and the friend of
the emperor himself.

Uncle Sam Helping.

In the gigantic task of bringing about
change in our plans of farming on ac.
count of the boil weevil, the United
States Department of Agriculture is tax
ing great interest. With the unlinl-
tied means at its command, great good
can be done. During the past three
years number of demonstration agents
have been located in Mississippi and
have labored in conjunction with the
farmers to bring about this change. The
results have been highly satisfactory.
Recently Hon. G. H. Afford, member
of the legislature from Pike county, and
ex-editor of the Southern Farnl Gazette,
has been appointed special agent for a
number of counties in the boil weevil
section and will in the future devote his
entire time to the work of aiding the
farmers to combat the weevil, He has
been recently engaged in holding meet
ings and inducing the people to turn cot
ton stalks and trash from the infested
land, with the view of decreasing the
crop of weevils for next year.
This help from Uncle Sam is very
much appreciated just at this time. The
weevil is steadily marching eastward
and northward, and the people need in
struction as to how to prepare for him
and to combat him when he gets here.
His work can be and i being fought
successfully.

cultural and live stock pursuits than a
well conducted fair. Those who have
exhibited as well as attended, can testify
to the truthfulness of this statement.
They should be encouraged in every
legitimate manner until the county with
out one would be an exception instead
of the rule.
Many states-a majority of them--en-
courage the fairs by making an appro-
priation for distribution according to
proper rules and regulations, and ap-
piled to agricultural, horticultural and
live stock premiums. Is it not about
time that Mississippi considered this
matter? Would not small sum to
be divided among the fairs of the coun-
ties, upon an equitable and just basis,
be good investment?
Legislators that desire to do some
thing of real benefit to their constitu-
ents might begin now to consider this
matter and frame an act that would
supply this need. 1t would be an in
vestment and not an expenditure. The
people are ready for the fairs and they
should be properly encouraged.
1t was the writers privilege some time
ago to be in company with a number of
gentlemen from another state for sew
eral days. During the time the fact that
Mississippi was the freest state from
graft and dishonesty among officials was
often commented ON. 1t was especially
gratifying to know the splendid reputa-
tion borne by our state among the peo-
pie of the whole country.
The people are responsible for this
state of affairs. No man who is known
to have an inclination to fall into this
common error could be elected constable
of the remotest district in Mississippi.
The voters are alert and cast their bal
lots only for men they know to be hon
est and true.
Let it be the determination of our
people to continue this excellent state of
affairs. If only one state in the Union is
above suspicion, let that state be Mis-
sissippi.
