GOVERNOR VS.. HILL CITY.
Chief Executive Determined That Open
Saloons Shall Be Closed.

Jackson.-Governor Noel's letter TO
Judge Mounger, of the Ninth circuit
district, suggesting strict enforcement
OF the statutory prohibition law in the
city of Vicksburg, has occasoned vel y
little surprise, especially among, Wis
itors who have been in the Hill City
recently and became acquainted with
the method in which the liquor bust
ness in that community is handled.
Vicksburg has not abandoned all
rretense of enforcing the prohitilion
law, but 1t is nevertheless a fact that
rooms in the business district where
no pretense Of secrecy is shown and
they are in no sense akin to blind
tigers, for they serve plain and fancy
drinks of all kinds just as in the oldcn
days when the high license system
prevailed.
That these places have not been
raided is doubtless due to the fact
that public sentiment has made the
authorities apathetic. The officers re-
allze that majority of the people want
open saloons in Vicksburg, and are
apparently willing to accommodate
them. What Governor Noel will DO
in case the grand jury fails to indie
the proprietors of these places re.
mains to be seen, but the general in
preston around the statehouse is that
he will employ some very summary
measures.

PEANUT CULTURE.
Treated in a Special Bulletin Issued
by Commissioner Biakes!ee.

Jackson.-Responding to a demand
on the part OF the farming ard OF
mill interests of the state, H. E.
Slakeslee, commissioner of agricul.
lure, has completed for publication the
subject matter of a special bulletin
devoted to the question Of peanut CHI.
ure. With the advent of the boil wee
vii Mississippi farmers have been
brought face to face with the necessity
# diversifying, and the growing of the
lowly goober has been recommended
as crop that is easy and cheap to
cultivate and at the same time be pro
ductive of good money returns On
a snail scale peanuts have been grown
year, and the returns have been ex-
oeptional from financial standpoint.
Thousands more acres are eXpecteI
to be planted in peanuts during 1911.
and farmers have been aXious to Sc
cure information as to the best meth
DDS of cultivation. 1t was to supply
requests for information of this sort
that Mr.. Blakeslee has gotten out the
special bulletin, which is the first OF
the kind ever published in Mississippi
and possibly in the South, devoted ex-
clusively to this particular crop. Sew
eral of the oil mills want copies of
the pamphlet, which will be furnished
for a nominal consideration, and 17,0OC
will be issued for general distribution
over the state.

TRIM WATER BILL.
Meter at Insane Asylum Saves the
State $500,

Jacksonville Jackson waterworks
commission, which demanded $4,000 a
year more from the state for supplying
water on the grounds and in the build
ings of the state insane asylum, will
get 500 less. For number Of years
the ate had been paying fiat rate
of $2,700 year for water used at the
asylum. When the contract expired
last year the board of public contracts,
consii ting of the governor, secretary
of state, attorney-general and state
revenue agent, offered to renew. This
the water people Indignantly refused
certain experts" of the commission
having declared that $4,000 was nons
amount of water used at the instit~
tion. At this the board demurred.
The result was the putting in of a
large meter, costing the state $400, and
agreement to pay for the amount of
water used, and not according to a
fiat rate. This year now drawing to q
close shows that the state will owe
the water commission about $4,000 for
the water used during the past twelve
months.
Thus the meter paid for itself the
first six months after it had been put
in, and the water commission will lose
about $500 a year for demanding an
increase and refusing to renew the
contract on the old terms.

Have you ever heard a person MAX
ing his or her boast that he or she
would keep certain facts from certain
persons? We all have, and to
great extent we all practice the bit
of deception. But when largely car
ried out, mischievously done, there
is no end to the trouble it brings.
The faculty for concealment. as 'se-
cretiveness," as the phrenologists
term it, is dangerous gift. Open
ness and candor are delightful. When
we discover that friend has deceiv-
ed or only half-trusted us, we regard
him ever after with suspicion, and it
requires very long time for him to
recover the ground he mas lost in our
confidence and esteem. Nothing has
worse result in the home than mys-
teriousness in trifes, which so often
lead to quarrels, tragedies and sensa-
tional scandals. Friends are often
separated by the lack of frankness in
some trifling event easily explained,
if it needed to be, yet secretly kept
Children who begin these trifles at
home are those who are discouraged
and fear to be frank, and for this
very reason children deceive parents
because they realize they cannot go
to them and confess little faults and
the like because it would mean pun
ishment of the worst kind, and some
thing even worse, the lack of SYM
pathy. The girl who can sit down on
a low ottoman at her mothers knee,
open her letters and read them aloud,
discuss her love affairs as freely as
she ever discussed her school life
events, is the girl who will grow to
be frank. honest woman. She may
not be openly frank. but she will not
be possessed of a hidden nature
which always makes her suspicious
person among friends.

Carrie in the Graveyard.

Shortly before the conference Car

grave and dignified and a stickler
for the dignity OF the Senate and its
traditions and power: Had quite

ate this afternoon"
'Wnat was that?" asked Allison,
who had been out OF the chamber
when Carrie was eliminated
why, they arrested Carrie Nation

"Ah," commented Allison, for dis

And Birdsell always wondered af.

The Hop Pillow,

ones, though the fresher ones are
best Another pillow that is as scoth-
ing as a poppy bed is made of life

me how TO make pine and fir pillows,
but | frankly admit l do not know,
though l imagine both are shredded
as fine as possible and encased in
ticking, afterwards covered with
some neat cover, possibly a wash
cover. 1t is the season when fragrant
pillows can be made. Milkweed is
ripe now and the little milk pods are
filled with fluffy down splendid for
filling soft chair cushions. Down pil-
lows are not coarse feather pillows,
but the soft down that is plucks i

Master William Bloggins seized the
opportunity to retire for a few min

his sire's half-smoked cigar.
The applause subsiding, Master
Bloggins was observed by one OF
the company to be looking far from
well. His face had taken on the hue
of putty and his eyes stood out like
small hat-pegs.
Good gracious, Willie! What's the
matter?" cried Mrs. Bloggins in
alarm. II believe you've been

truthfully. 'If it's true what faith

GET RESULT FROM PUBLICITY
Advertising Should Be Clear and ORIG
lnal and Sufficiently Interest
Ing to Be Read.

Paul G. Gerhardt, advertising man.
ager Of the Dallas Dispatch. and Sec
retary of the Southwestern division Of
Associated Advertising clubs, talked
to members of the Topeka Advertis-
ing club recently in regard to the re-
suits to be obtained through sys-
tematic advertising.
Mr.. Gerhardt talked of the heart
interest in advertising and it's results
His chief points were directed to the
advertiser himself. In part Mr.. Ger
hardt said:
advertising should be clear, lively
and original. 1t should be appropriate
to the size, quality and standing of the
house it represents. 1t must be suf-
ficiently interesting to be read with
interest. In fact, the advertiser must
be sufficiently posted upon his subject
that he can talk Interestingly regard
ing It,
There are two ends to be accom-.
pEshed-the future building up of ones
business, and immediate results. The
former is the more important. What
the advertiser must do is place his
business before the people in way to
pulld his reputation. The biggest op-
portunity is in the future-the further
one looks ahead, the greater will be
the results obtained
"It is the man who does not adver-
tise. or who does not do SO persist
emily, who will be the first to feel
the depression in times of business
adversely"
Mr.. Gerhardt referred to the wri-
ting of advertising, saying:
Begin spontaneously at the vital
point. An advertisement should not
be written to be admired for or liter
airy show. Results are what is wanted.
They must be written to sell the
goods. Many advertisements do not
contain enough salesmanship. They
should contain that which the bust
ness man would tell the customer
were he talking to him lace to face.
Hackneyed terms should be avoided.
They weaken the appeal. Some mer-
chants are too general, others use
technical terms which the customer
does not understand. This Is harm
full in that the outlay is an expense
which cannot draw the same results
as a well written, clear, concise and
original advertisement
Every advertisement should have
enough originality to be recognized,
even should the name of the business
man be displaced and that of a COM
petitor substituted"

HAPPIEST TIME IN LIFE.

said woman whose daughter is TO
be married in September. ITS the
happiest time of her life right now
1t will be different when she's mar-
ricd!"
is it the happiest time" that gold
en- period just before marriage?
True, the whole universe is wallow-
ed up in the new and wonderful dream
of love. Mundane things vanish into
mist and the dream becomes the real
ity.
Do you remember Du Maurier's joke
on that supposedly "happiest" tine?
A poet and brilliant young vo-
man, Girton college girl, we've b.
served seated apart in a drawing rex nj
filled with a fashionable throng Ad-
mlrers of the poet, anxious to absorb
some of the gems of thought that
were, no doubt, dropping from the
poets lips, stole up unnoticei, and
this is what they heard:
He-If Dovey should die, what
would Lovey do?
She-Lovey would die. too!
At no later period in their history
can two young people derive the same
unreasoning happiness from so Little.
1t is positively true that hoy and
a girl in hammock, holding hands
in the starlight, reach point OF blind
ecstacy only attainable by an East
Indian yogi!
But does all this fervor and estate
dreaming indicate the youth and
maiden are the happier?
Does it not rather imply that youth
is content with less than maturity?
The girl revels in the dream. bat the
woman demands fulfillment of that
iream.

NEW RELIGIOUS SECT.
mississippi Coast Furnishes a New
Brand of Reiqion.

MISUNDERSTANDING in the pen
dulum between despair and hope, the
Fishermen o. Galiloe, new religious
sect started in Pascagoula some time

ization, yet they are alive, observing
the varying scenes in the nocturnal

ophy from the eternal stars.
Frederick Hess, leader Of the Fish
ermen of Galilee, who excited wide
eyed wonder by wading out into the
bay in fishermen's garb of blue fan
rel shirt and knee trousers, wrapped
in meditation, is beguiling the nights
by the sights of the heavens from the
observatory tower of his society He
is an astronomer, an occasional writer
deep thinker and dreamer. In stars
he sees an endless series of moral
lessons, and, judging from what nc
says, all persons delving in the study
of the starry depths and the cosmic
void ought to be good, particularly on
account of the lessons taught him by
the skies.

CHILDREN AND SCHOOL LUNCHES

If your children cannot return
home for MONDAY luncheon, let them
go to restaurant, or provide a good
luncheon. Children with tickle ap-
petites are more apt to play than eat
during the noontime, then eat too
much for evening dinner. Eating too
heartily at night is not good for a
child engaged almost wholly in men
tai duties. If the luncheon is tempt
ing, it Is more liable to be eaten. 1t
is said nothing tempts the childish
appetite more than raisins, and child
rem will nibble at them when other
fruits are let alone. They are highly
nutritious and can be eaten raw or
cooked in bread. If boiled eggs are
included in the luncheon, they should
cook at least twenty minutes, other
wise the yolks are indigestible Good
cheese is nutritious, though it should
be as sparingly used as meat, for only
people engaged in muscular duties
demand such heavy food. Bananas
are healthful, but oranges are not
considered SO for luncheon, being
breakfast fruit. 1t is claimed that
apples cause headache, because child
rem with weak stomachs eat apples
that contain an acid. which often
causes violent spells of headache.
Again, children who have good di-
gestion are benefited by eating them.
1t is for parents to know what foods
agree with the children, for what may
be nourishing to one child might
prove injurious to another. The
chocolate girl, or the one who in
dulges in crackers and pickles for the
MONDAY luncheon, is a SIGHT to be-
hold, for worse pimpled face is diff
ficult to find. The penny candy sn9ps
do a thriving business when the
school opens and they are frequented
when the luncheon box fails to meet
the demands Of a hungry or fickle
appetite. If the health OF school
children is to be considered, then
must the luncheon box or basket be
carefully prepared. 1t does not call
fer much, but it does cell for the very
best. TIE best brain workers in the
school room are children carefully
and sensibly fed; laggards are found
among the poorly fed ones. Study
ing with a half-starved or overfed
stomach is like praying with cold
feet, both liable to get woefully side
tracked.
