Ten Things to Do This Month

~ Begin sowing winter oats.
Keep on working all lands intend
ed for winter grains, making it as
fine and firm as possible.
(2) Sow cover crops, rye, vetch,
crimson clover, rape, etc., whatever
you can. Sow some pasture lots
for the hogs, and one for the chick
ems.
(9) Cut up the corn when ripe,
shock loosely and shred the slower
if stover comes your way. This
of course, if you havn't a silo to
put it in.
(4) Save the cowpeas, soy beans
and other hay crops. Don't neglect
even the crabgrass. Too much
hay in the South is a thing I'M
known.
(5) Save seeds make the best
possible selections in the corn field
before cutting and in the cotton
field before picking. Insure cow
peas and soy beans for planting.
Save also supply of garden seeds.
Plant fall garden stuff-lettuce
radishes and onions, etc. Prepare
land for setting fruit trees and
small fruits.
~ Keep the hogs going their
be-. Add som. grain to what
~ get in the pastures. Give the
COWS some grain too, if the pastures
ct dry.
(s) Get next winters supply of
wood ready, and put it under
conveniently located woodshed
where it will keep dry.
(9) See about your roads; if they
need improvement, talk it over with
your nelghbors and decide upon
plan. Make road drag some
rainy day.
(lO) Visit your schools; help the
children all you can; consult the
teacher, and then cooperate with
her -Starkville Miss Progressive

SCHOOL LUNCHES
ARE A SUCCESS
They are Being Tried in Many
Cities With Good Results

Lunches are now provided in
nearly all schools for cripples and
mentally deficient children. Milk
and crackers are served in most
kindergartens. Experiments in
serving luncheons in elementary
schools are being carried on in
Chicago, Philapelphia and New
York.
In Philadelphia the Star Lunch
con Association prepares the food
IN a central kitchen and sends it
from there to various schools. Be-
cause of this economical system and
Fgcing the coast of service and
I'd The association last year not
only cleared its expenses but actu-
ally made profit of S9.45. In
Chicago the Johanna Lodge-a So
ciety of Jewish women has been
serving simple breakfasts of oat-
meal, with milk, sugar and bread,
to the anemic children in the Gold
smith School for eight years. They
feed from forty to seventy children
a day at an average of II cents a
meal. They say that the improved
work of the children repays the
trouble and expense.
In New York where the expeu.
ments are being made, about ten
per cent, of the children have no
one at home at noon.
These lunches are not free. Each
child who is able to do so pays 8
cents. This leaves tie responsible
ity of providing for the child n
the fathers shoulders, where it was
before, and it avoids the danger of
''pauperizing."
If a child needing luncheon is
unable to pay, the teacAer provides
Linn with tickets exactly like those
bought by the well-to-do child. The
day may come when free school
luncheons will be as unquestioned
a part of the school system as are
free instruction, free textbooks and
in some places free transportation.

While on her death bed she call

We loved her OH perhaps too well
For once she took sick and died.
All is dark within our dwelling. lonely
Are our hearts to-day.
For the one we love so dearly
Has forever passed away.
Sleep on dear child and take thy rest
In Jesus arms we know you're blest.

MOTHERS

Should be ever on the watch for symp-
toms of Worms in their children. These
pests undermine strength and vitality.
A child with Worms is pale, sickly and
cross, has dark rings under the eyes, bad
breath, tickle appetite, picks the nose
continually, starts in the sleep, grinds
the teeth while sleeping. The worst part
about this disorder is that children af-
fected by Worms fall easy victims to
Typhoid Fever, Diphtheria, Measles and
other diseases fatal to child life. A rem
edy for Worms one that Is absolutely
sure Of results is Whites Cream Vermi-
fuge. 1t destroys and removes worms
and intestinal parasites Of all kinds. A
few doses removes the cause Of the
trouble, and there is an immediate Inn
provement In few days the sickly,
pale and irritable child is transformed
into a rosy, healthy, vigorous Cherub,
full Of life, vim and cheerfulness.
