There is at the present time
about $50 to 200 cubic feet per
second flowing into the Reservoir.
That amount has been running in
to it for the past ten days. at pre-
sent the water is flowing under the
ice and little difficulty is being en-
perienced in running the water.
Should the weather continue
warm, some trouble with break
ing ice is anticipated. Change
able weather makes the filling of
the reservoir a hard task. There
seems to be nothing to prevent
the filling at least at the present
rate and not more than fifty days
would be required to fill it with
the present fOW.
Our farmers do not have to con-
tend with the muddy roads that
the eastern farmers do. 1t makes
it much more convenient to haul
their products to market. Those
farmers who have lived in the East
know how to appreciate this fact.
They can well remember the times
they have had to be pulled out of
mud holes, in which their wagons
had gone into. clear up above the
wheels. This was rather eXpen
sive as well as very troublesome.
and also n great time loser. The
editor of this paper has seen roads
in the East which were utterly i'm
passable and the farmers were &C.
layed in their work on account of
not being able to go to town. In
Sedgwick county we have nothing
like this to experience. We go
and come when we please. Sedg-
wick county farmers don't have
to lead an extra team behind the
wagon so rs to be prepared for the
''gumbo" holes along the roads.
We should appreciate these con-
ditions and boost" for the enter
prises that are before us and make
this county far above the average.

with selling fruit and vegetables from
a wagon without having paid privi-
lege tax, settled a much mooted ques-
ton and one that has been in con-

Gals for more than ten years. The
city contended that under the law,
peddlers engaged in selling fruit or
produce not grown by them or in the
state, were liable to the tax, whereas
the state law exempts persons en-
gagged in the same business.
The police have made innumerable
arrests under the law, and the &C
cused have paid fines. But Summers
resisted the efforts of the city to col
lect a tax, contending that the city
could not collect tax exempted by

REPORT FROM TEACHERS ASSN
Editor The News:

Editor The News:
The public schools Of Forrest coun-
ty are in a very progressive state.
The county has become one Of ten to
introduce Industrial club work into
it's schools. For two years the schools
of the state have endeavored to en-
list the boys and girls of Mississippi
in the ranks of the Corn Clubs and
Poultry Clubs. This work has been
great success and opens the way for
still greater work. Organization, CO.
operation and courage in an honest
purpose have given us this success.
And yet we are not satisfied. We are
but in the beginning. To stop at this
point would be to almost undo some
of the best work done by leading edu-
Gators during the past few years. 1t
would hinder to a great extent the
work of School Improvement Asso-
Citations, and paralyze the efforts OF
many progressive teachers. 1t would
block educational movements. But
Forrest county is awake, and at work.
November 1S, Miss Susie V. Powell,
the State organizer of School I'm
provement Associations, met num-
Der of county teachers and began or
| ganizing more fully the work in this
county. After discussing current
questions on the subject, and laying
her plans before the teachers she
took up the appointment of county
directors. Mrs. II. X. McLemore was
placed at the head of the work. La.
ter directors were elected for the sew
eral beats in the county. These were
Messrs. ]. c. Gay, Of Brooklyn, and
S. E. S. Weatherford, of Hattiesburg,
for Beats and respectively and
Misses Carrie McLemore Of Hatties-
burg and Stella Bounds of McLauri1,
for Beats 2 and 4, respectively. The
work stressed most Is the Tomato
Club work. District meetings are to
be held Saturday, December 2, and
! it is expected that before the end of
another twelve months the country
will have felt the effects of the effort
that is being put forth in behalf OIL
Industrial Education in Forrest coun-
ty. The government, state ana coun-
ty are all working for the upbuilding
of our schools and rural conditions.
Miss Powell is the agent who di-
reefs the solution of many problems.
The writer desires to plead for the
support of every citizen of this Sec
ton of the state. We, as teachers,
need the cooperation of every parent
of every child, of every person, wheth-

results to be derived from having an
educated populace. At the foundation
of all great movements and as the
source Of all beneficial results, is a
wave of education that, in its terri
fic sweep, carries away the hindering
lack of progress. After this educa-
tional movement, look for better
farms, better homes, better schools,
better roads, better people and better
times. Lend the public, 1 say, your
means and watch the result.
