PROF. DAVID C. HULL HERE IN
THE INTERESTS OF HIS
CANDIDACY.
FORMIDABLE APPLICANT
Prof. Joe Cook, of Columbus, Prof
FAINT, of Meridian and Rev. j. NJ.
Mcmillan Also Mentioned as Sue
cessors to Prof. Smith.

Prof. David c. Hull, president of
Millsaps College, Jackson, Miss, and
President of the Mississippi Teachers
Association, spent last night and part
of this morning in Hattiesburg con-
ferring with his local friends with d !
view to enlisting support in his can
didacy to succeed Prof. Smith as pres |
ident of the Normal College. Prof. |
Hull's name is the latest mentioned
in connection with the presidency of
the Normal and he is already a form
idable applicant for the place and
feels confident of his selection.
Prof. Hull is known as one of the
| foremost educators of the state and
his friends think he is the logical man
to succeed Prof. Smith as president of
the Normal College. He has been an
enthusiastic advocate of the estab-
lishment of the school and if selected
to head the institution would bring
the same enthusiasm into the work
of building it up and making it the
success it is expected to be. Prof.
Hull is young man, comparatively,
and has had a most successful career
as an instructor and later as presi-
dent of Millsaps college. to which
position he was elected some two
years ago, when Doctor Murrah was
| 1o I;rb,N Of hn MathndiCt phi1rpb
south. Millsaps COLLEGE has grown
rapidly under his direction and his
work there has further demonstrated
I his ability and fitness for the head o
large educational institutions.
Prof. Joe Cook, of Columbus, is alst
e mentioned as an applicant for the
presidency of the Normal and it is pre-
dicted in some quarters that the Sc
lection will narrow down to himsel
and Prof. Hull The friends of Rev
J. y, Mcmillan do not propose to le

the American packer is to be similarly

any farmer or any other man in the

abundant and We could grow our

our ranges were available for the pro.

no benefit to the American farmer:
First, because there was no market in
this country for Canadian products;
and second, because, practically speak.

BLIND WILL SEE OLD GLORY.
Hun1ro1- nf Nou, VnrL man ,yn,,o,,

Hundreds of New York men, women
and children, says the New York
Evening Mail, are to see the American
flag for the first time, when President
Taft formally opens the big blind
workers exhibition in the Metropoli.
tan opera house.
These people are not lacking in
good citizenship. From infancy they
have been blind, and while every one
of them can describe the stars and
stripes in words, they have never be-
fore been able to sec" it. A casually
expressed wish from blind man that
he wished he could see the flag, mace
the exhibition committee think. Fl.
nally from Perkins Institute, $, nth
Boston, the school where Helen Keller
studied, they learned that this school
had succeeded in making a palpablc
flag which their own pupils had been
able to 'see."
In response to request that they
allow the blind of New York the
opportunity to "see" the flag, the
director answered that Perkins would
send its complete collection for the
blind, and would display them in such
way that every blind visitor to the
exhibition weuld be able to study
them and SO "see" them with their
fingers.
OF all the blind who have heard of
the coming o. the flag none has ex.
pressed deeper joy over the prospect of
seeing" it than the little sightless
children in the public schools of New
York.

ENGLAND SEES OUR FOOD
COST.

London-Copies Of a report on the
cost Of living in American cities, based
on inquiries made in twenty-eight
representative towns by officials of the
British board Of trade, were circulated
in Parliament. The report of $50
pages covers the questions of working
class housing, retail prices of commodi-
ties, and rates of wages in the United
States, compiled for purposes of CON-
parison with the conditions of workers
in Great Britain and other countries.
The conclusions reached are: THE
cost of food and rent combined is SO
per cent greater in the United States
than in England and Wales, but these
heavier relative charges on working
class income have been accomplished
with weekly wages which are as 23O
to 100"
The report adds that this ratio Of
money earnings is more than two and
one'fourth times as great as in Eng.
land and Wales, and makes possible
a command Of necessaries, convenien-
ces and minor luxuries of life that is
both nominally and really greater
than that enjoyed by the correspond.
ing class in this country, although the
effective margin in practice is curtailed
by scale of expenditure, to some ex-
tent necessary and to some extent
voluntary, adopted in accordance with
the different and higher standard of
material comfort"
The report notes that although the
habit Of spending is greater in Amer.
lea than in England, and although the |
American is naturally more extrava-
CANT and great wastefllness often re.
suits, it is in fact that those who desire |
to exercise a strength Of will and FORE
sight can save more easily in the
United States than in England be.
cause Of the larger income.
In the matter of hours the skilled
workers in the building trades in
America have the advantage Of about
TX hours weekly compared to the
English, and the unskilled have an
advantage of about three and three
quarters hours.

Would Chase Cats.

where police dogs help the local force
in routing out burglars. These dogs
are highly trained.

MAX, which I believe Is considered
the best of them. cannot be trained
to leave a cat alone. His Job is to

THE MADERO FAMILY.

San Francisco MaderO, father of the
leader Of the Mexican revolution says
that no member of his family will be
q candidate for office at the election
which it is hoped will result from the
insurrection. This is saying a great
deal, for he has eight sons, all full
grown, Of whom the eldest, Francisco
l., jr., started the revolt. This son
was a candidate for the presidency
against Diaz year ago, but the Diaz
machine has not permitted anybody
but Diaz to aspire to that high office.
Francisco, jr., retired to San Antonio
last November and began to get ready
for the present uprising.
The Madero family has good stand
ing in Mexico. The grandfather of
the present leader is estimated "by
some to be worth $50, 100000. made as
q Spectator in mining properties. and
in cattle raising. He was for twenty
years governor of a province. The
father says: I'VE are fighting for
principles and not for political re-
wards" In other words, they are
fighting for fair elections and for a
square deal. If they fail, they have
been engaged in rank treason. If
they win they will be heroes.
They appear to be holding out well
against the regular troops and to have
accomplished much in forcing the re-
organization of the cabinet. They |
will be content, however, with nothing
hort of the complete surrender ofth |
Diaz machine.-Boston Globe.

Connecticut Farmers Against Rabbit.
Most assuredly the proposed protec-

BY farmers and fruit growers. Under

a plague.
Their principal ofRense Is the xird.

strongly addicted even when tho
ground is not snow-covered. SO far
as known they serve no useful DUR
