ADJUSTMENTS.
THE AIRDOME.

The nonsensical absurdity, The Blue
Monkey" is proving to be one of tke
best mirth provokers of the season, and
is being played to exceptionally large
houses nightly. Only two more nights
remain to see this laugh producer, as
the bill changes Sunday night.

with bad thing until we begin to
grow something else to take its place.
AS a substitute for war and an i'm
| munity bath from the spirit of the
mOllycoddle, Professor James, of Har-
ward, has recently put forth a most
| noteworthy contribution
Here is the idea of Professor James:
IF now there were, instead of mill
! tary conscription, a CONSUMPTION of the
whole youthful population to form, for
two or three years, a part of the army
enlisted against adverse nature, the in
justice would tend TO be evened ont,
and numerous other benefits to the
commonwealth would follow
The military ideals of hardihood and
discipline would be wrought into the
growing fibre of the people; no one
would remain blind, as the luxurious
classes are now blind. to mans real re-
latioHs TO the globe he lives on and to
the permanently solid and hard founda-
tons of~his higher life.
ITO coal and iron mines, to freight
trains, to fishing fleets in December, to
dish washing, Clothes washing and
window washing, to road building and
tunnel making, to foundries and stoke
holes, to frames of skyscrapers and to
telegraph pole climbing would our
gilded youth be drafted off according
to their choice, to get the childishness
knocked out of them, and to come back
into society with healthier sympathies
and sOberer ideas.
They would have paid their blood
tax, done their part in the immemorial
human warfare against nature; they
would tread the earth more proudly;
the women would value them more
highly; they would be better fathers
and teachers of the following genera
ton"
The fact that Professor James is a
teacher in Harvard university gives his
words an added worth and weight. For
% years and more he has dealt with
growing youth, and he has seen the
folly and shame of making young men
exempt from the necessary work Of the
world in the sacred name Of 'educa-
ton
Professor James knows that only
CONSUMPTION will set the gilded youth
of the newly rich to work. The mamma
of the mollycoddle would not otherwise
allow Cecil to do useful thing. Human

"HERE is a firmly fixed idea in
the minds of the proletariat that
when you take something away
from people you have to give them
something in return
The sticklers for war lift a wall of
woe and declare, You are taking away
the martial spirit and giving US moth
ing in return"
In all spontaneous criticism. no mat
ter how seemingly absurd, there is a
germ of truth The bugaboo of the
bourgeois about taking something away
and giving nothing in return lies in the
assumption that the thing can really be
done Nature abhors a vacuum, not
only in the physical world, but in the
mental The bird mouths his feathers
when he feels a new crop coming. Folk
never give up an old idea until a new
one begins to sprOut.
Always and forever the outworn is
pushed aside by the on-coming new.

The first reduction in the price OF
beef in many moons, was made during
the week, when the price of T-bone
steak was cut to % cents pound at
some of the local markets, and chuck
steak and chuck roast was reduced 70
Ice a pound. The Improvement of the
ranges and the consequent cheap fat
tening of cattle, is responsible for the
reduction. Following are the local quo

sical program.

pating in the discussion were the

subject of corn growing and
the work Of the clubs throughout
the South. Mr.. r. S. Wilson,
state agent of the Department
of Agriculture, is expected also
to deliver an address. Mr.. Will
son unhesitatingly advises corn
as the crop for this country to
turn its attention to, both in
preparation for the coming of
the boil weeril and as a money
maker, and gives valuable ad-
vice to every farmer as to the
selection of seed corn and culti-
vation.
The fact that the South, the
real corn belt of the country has
been proven by records of 225
bushels to the acre against 155,
which the champion corn farmer
Of the West made last year.
The boys have done much to help
in the great revival which is
sweeping over the South in the
matter of corn raising, and
those who lead in their counties
are being rewarded by the De-
partment of Agriculture, local
merchants and banks.
This is the time for the boys
of Lowndes county to get busy if
they are going to be in the race
with the boys of neighboring
counties, those who have the or
gainzation of the club in charge
are urging, and it is expected
that all who can will attend the

GET COLLEGE CONTESTS
FOR COLUMBUSIS HOPE
SEC. WEBSTER To JACKSON
REPRESENTATIVE OF BUSINESS LEAGUE
TO MAKE ATTRACTIVE PROPOSITIONS;
LETTER FROM COLUMBUS BOYS
ON SUBJECT

To secure for Columbus the
Mississippi Intercollegiate Ora
torical contest which takes place
in May and together with the
track meet and baseball game,
which are a part of the days
program will attract several
thousand visitors. Secretary
Webster of the Business League
will leave for Jackson today to
meet the committee which to-
morrow will pass upon the bids
of the towns seeking the contest.
Last year the contest was held
at Greenwood and it is said fully
five thousand visitors were on
hand for the occasion. The col
leges represented in the speak
ing and athletic events are the
University. the A. & NJ. and Mis-
sissippi and Milsaps, and special
trains are run from each of
the college towns bearing the
crowds attending.
Mr.. Webster will make several
propositions for Columbus, one
of which. it is said. will be the
payment of ten per cent. of the
gate receipts by the committee
in charge, upon which basis Co
lumbus will furnish the barbecue
and all entertainment. Concern
ing this proposition the young
men at Oxford from Columbus
addressed him the following
letter:
University, Miss.
March z, 1910.
Mr.. J. 7. Webster. Secretary of
Columbus Business League.
Dear Sir
The Is Columbus boys at the
university are very deeply inter-
ested in getting the State Ora
torical Contest at Columbus.
Mr.. Renshaw our representa-
tive advises US that if Columbus
will not demand 10 per cent of
the gate receipts she will stand
a much better chance of getting
the contest. Greenwood and
Greenville offer everything
free. Why can't Colum-
bus do as much? Mr.. Renshaw
also says the proposed Temporal
ry auditorium is another draw
back. He says the college chap
ell will easily accommodate the
the crowd.
Hoping that you will seriously
consider our suggestions and
wishing you success in your eff
forts, Respectfully,
