MORNING DRESSES OF CREPE
Gowns Made of This Material Are
Charming in Their Sim
plicity.

Colored cotton crepe seems to have
been relegated to the realm OF dress
ing sacques and kimonos, but smart
morning dresses are being shown OF
this material and are charming in
their simplicity.
One effective little frock was of del
icate mauve crepe. The skirt was
slightly gathered and three wide
folds were put on near the bottom to
resemble tucks. The soft girdle Of
the same material was about three
inches wide. and the waist, which was
simply tucked, opened down the front
with crocheted buttons.
A fat collar of the finest hand EN-.
broidery trimed the low cut neck and
this was repeated in the cuffs, which
effectively finished the elbow sleeves.
Taken altogether the dress was
simple. indeed. but very smart
This crepe comes In a great many
shades. soft pinks, blues, browns and
all in the most beautiful tones.

MODEL AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL.
Expenses of Students Less Than 81
for the Term.

Jackson.-Prof. T. C. Bradford, prin-
cipal of the Alcorn County Agricultural
High School, has what is considered by
leading educators the model agricultural
high school of the state, and he is get
ting good results.
This school has been conducted eco
nomically, and the expenses for each
student, includent board, will not aver
age 81 for the term. He has, through
cooperation of the students, kept the
expenses down to a low figure, while
some OF the students work Saturdays for
farmers near the school, earning more
than enough money to meet their board
and other expenses each month.
The demonstration farm in connec-
ton with the school is being worked
by the students. The hours are divided
between work in the field, studies in the
school room and recreation, and the
students are taking a great deal of in
terest in the work.
Twenty-Five county agricultural high
schools have been established in the
state since the legislature of 1910 en-
acted a law authorizing them, which
shows the people of the state appre-
ciate the value of this form of educa-
ton. Not only do the students make
good progress in their studies, but they
are learning how to farm, and also
horticulture.
The principals of these schools are
trying to arrange a uniform course of
study, and at the close of the school
year some action will be taken along
this line. A committee was appointed
some time ago to work out a course, and
this committee will report at the State
Teachers Association, which meets here
in May.

HEAVY DEMAND FOR FERTILIZER
Sales Far Beyond Expectations of Mill
Managers.

Managers.
Jackson.-neavy rains, the usual ac-
compartment of the vernal equinox, have
been general over Mississippi during
the past few days, and have brought
about a marked improvement Of farming
prospects.
In all sections Of the state theirs was
an urgent need of rain to get the soil
i'll proper condition for spring plant
ing, and it is expected that there will
be unusual activity in the agricultural
districts during tile week.
One OF the most significant features
of the outlook is the phenomenal de-
mand for fertilizers. Managers of the
principal mills say that sales have been
lar in excess OF their expectations, and
in some instances they are unable to fill
all orders offered.
In accordance with their annual Gus
tom, mill managers made preparations
Tor the season in accordance with adj
vices received from their local agents,
showing the probable acreage and char
acter of crops to be planted this year,
but it now appears that all OF these
estimates were exceedingly low. In
some counties sales and deliveries have
already been from ten to thirty per
cent in excess OF last year, and the fer
tilizer plants had figured on practically
the same consumption as in 1910.
This gives rather conclusive evidence
that the farmers of Mississippi are not
only planning a substantial increase of
acreage, but that they also have plenty
of confidence in the general outlook;
that they are not pessimistic or despond-
emit over the boil weevil, and other new
problems with which they are con-
fronted.
Thus far there have been no COM
plants of scarcity of cotton seed for
planting purposes. The oil mills have re-
served abundant supplies for this pur-
pose, and will be able to fill all orders
unless a second planting should become
necessary later in the season.
The demand for improved varieties OF
corn is very general, largely due to the
campaign of education on corn culture
that has been under way for the past
year.

A BOND DECISION.
Must Pay Interest on Bonds From
January l, 1911.

January l, 1911.
Jackson.-Judge w. A. Henry Wednes-
day afternoon delivered a lengthy de-
cision in the celebrated state bond case,
in which he s~ustains the contention OF
the governor that the bonds were sold
at ."par," as the law directed, and or
dering that the writ of mandamus APP
piled for compelling the auditor to issue
his warrant upon the treasurer for the
payment of the accrued interest on these
bonds falling due January /, 1911, be
granted. Judge Henry quoted many
authorities upholding his decision, and
also the common acepptation OF the word
par" by commercial bodies. A cor,
rect definition OF what the Legislature
meant by the word par, he said, solves
the question involved.
Was the word par used by the leg
islature in a sense different from the
common %acceptatien of the term of com
mercial usage?"
He says: is any legal requirement to
be thrown around it that it will re
quire a different construction? The SUI
preme court of Mississippi, in the case
of Edwards VS.. Hampton ct al, recently
decided, places upon the coupons a com
mercial meaning. The dictionaries con-
suited agree AS to what par means,
to-wit: Nominal value; face value; the
value expressed on the face or in the
words of Il certificate of value, as a bond
or other commercial paper; state or
value of bonds, shares, ETC., when they
sell at exactly the price marked on
them, l.. e, without premium or dis
count; above par, at premium or more
than the nominal value; at par, at *
actly the nominal value; below par, at
a discount, or at less than the noml-
nal value"
In summing up, Judge Henry said:
Looking to the commercial accepta-
ton of the meaning of par taking
the commercial usage of the term as
understood and applied, bearing in
mind the construction placed upon the
words by the legislature of Missi-
sippi, relying upon the authorities and
the reasoning presented by them, the
court has no hesitation in holding that
by par on the act of 1910, now under
consideration, the legislature simply
meant the face of the bond itself. The
writ of mandumus will Therefore issue
commanding the auditor of public ac-
counts to issue his warrant to holders
Of coupons due and payable January 1,
1911, for the full amounts stated in
said coupons.
"The cant that the state will lose

interest is not received with patience.
Were this true, the state had far better

FURNISHING THE HOME
USE AND COMFORT ARE THE
GREAT ESSENTIALS.
Ideas Of Simplicity Should Not Lead
One Into Buying What Is Crude
and CIumsy-Harmonlous e.
fects Very Desirable.

Use and comfort are the great eS-
sentials to be kept ever In mind when
selecting furniture. This remark may
seem obvious, and so 1t should be.
but when n ees the numerous
pieces of useless bits of furniture clut-
tering up some of the modern homes,
the necessity for emphasizing this
fact is realized. And as to comfort,
we must remember there Is such a
thing as being aesthetically as well as
physically comfortable. A chair, for
example, must not only be well made
and thoroughly secure, but 1t must al
SO appear sc. The apparent lack OF
substantially mars our aesthetic en-
joyment just as surely as does a shaky
chair lessen our physical comfort. The
selection Of furniture is, indeed, a sub
ject not to be entered into lightly or
unadvisedly.
A piece Of furniture should first be
considered in respect to its appear
ance and construction. We should
see that the furniture In question has
been made on sane lines. that are both
simple and graceful. We should mo-
tice whether or not the chair has been
well-proportioned. If it seems to US
to be altogether pleasing to the eye,
we should then consider 1t with a
view to comfort. Not i~nfreQuently a
chair will be ornamented where the
head would rest, or on the arms OF
the chair. The right use of all these
ornaments must, therefore, be consid-
cred. 1t is important to choose furni-
ture in relation to the in which
1t is to be used. and in relation to the
other furnishings. Particularly in
small houses It is well to buy pieces
of furniture to At a particular space.
Thus 1t Is well to take measurements
before going to select the larger pieces
Of furniture, in order that there may
be as little waste space as possible.
1t is a wise plan In buying furniture
to observe the following rule: Do not
buy a costly. kind ofathing. but the
best Of its hind.
