The Keutuckian has no disposition
to argue with the Madisonville Hust.
Ter on the question of whether or
not girls should be admitted to ora
torical contests with boys and com
pete for prizes as public speakers II
is bad enough for women to be fore
cd into the trades and professions Ia
the struggle for a livelihood. but
there are at least some masculine
pursuits THAI women do not have to
invade, including fighting and stump
speaking the women, not in the
necessities of TIE case or the inter
ests of their sex, have discarded the
side saddle and the petticoat, bu let
them at least leave war, politics and
field sports to the men. To encour-
age girls in the public high schools
to become platform orators is just
as hurtful to them as it would be to
send them to military schools or to
permit them to become baseball or
football players and engage in rough
and tumble contests with men. Girls
should be ambitious, but they should
not aspire to be men or to engage in
that nature did not design
them for. These may be old fashioned
ideas, but they are based on observa
ton and common sense. Few men
would care for their daughters to
be public speakers and gO'about the
country delivering Fourth of July
orations and poIitifafaddresses Then
why should the high schools put such
nonsense into their heads? Ii is all
right for girls to sing, recite and
give concert entertainments, but
et's keep them in their own sphere
Of usefulness and not educate them
for orators, warriors and prize !
fighters. If this is what the girls
are to come to, then the editor Of
the Kentuckian is glad his daughters
were born sons.

How often do you
eat this food?

A short time ago there appeared in
the columns of one of the prominent
magazines an article on building brain
and muscle by the proper selection Of
the foods you cat.
A good many people we're surprised
TO find oatmeal placed at the top of the
list Of foods recommended; but il the
article had appeared in an English or
Scotch paper every reader would have
expected TO see first place given to
good oatmeal.
AS a matter of fact Great Britain
and Europe come 10 us for tremendous
quantities of Quaker Oats because il
represents to them perfect food, being
the richest in flavor and best in clean
illness and purity, of all oatmeals.
Convenience and economy are served
by the way it is packed-regular pack
ages l0c, and in Theoretically sealed
tins for hot climates. IS

It is SO sporadic that the contagion
does not spread rapidly, but once ii
does take hold it envelops a commu-
nifty and spreads like wild fire.
I There are just few sporadic cases
Of Public Spirit in Hattiesburg, but
Il those few keep getting together
perhaps II will spread. At least we
( commend the effort to spread it, and
to that purpose we call attention to
the article in our news columns, in
(which President Jackson calls for an
/ open meeting of the Commercial Club
to act upon some exceedingly impor-
portant business, and not only re-
quests, but urges large attendance.
4 If the citizens of this city, rich and
bpoor, will crowd the court house upon
that occasion, and bring their interest

nay be aroused to engender more
public spirit than there is any evil
Hence Of now and that enthusiasm
might spread and become more and
more contagious by its spreading, un-
