Powell, at the urgent request OF
the Superintendent of Education
for the schools and Mrs. Humph.
reys for the Fair, was here and or
ganized the Girls Canning and
Poultry Clubs. The girls have
worked hard, and have exerted a
stimulating influence all over the
county; and they certainly deserve
some encouragement. They are
putting up the same line of goods
as the Canning Company, and
should have been included in the
Progressive Leagues resolutions.
l only demand for the girls
clubs a fair showing.
JENNIE M. BERRY,
Committee Woman-Girls' L. and
P. Clubs.
EDITORIAL CoMMENT-There was
no disposition on the part of the
League to discriminate against the
club girls. On the contrary. we
believe every member of the
League is in hearty sympathy with
the club girls. Some time ago,
when it was learned that canning
factory would probably be estab-
lished, a committee was appointed
by the League (the writer was a
member of that committee and Of
fered the resolution to which Mrs.
Berry objects) to ask the ladies if
the League could be of assistance.
Their reply was for the League
members to pledge themselves to
give their goods preference over
foreign canned goods, and this was
the sense of the resolution.

who are at great sacrifice seeking
these advantages for their sons and
daughters. Especially should this
appeal to every parent in our COM
munity and corresponding, effort
should be made to assist in carry
ing out those hopes and purposes.
While these children are in our
midst they have become our wards,
yea and as of our own households.
Doubtless, the controlling motive
of many in committing their sons
and daughters to these institutions
has been the thought of a pure,
wholesome moral atmosphere,
coupled with a refinement which
must come from the long standing
and the honorable records which
these schools have made. Have
these not the right to expect of US
as community to assume the re.
sponsibility which they as parents
have committed to US, and dare we
in the face of such confidence prove
recreant to the trust?
In many things it is not ques-
ton of our judgment as to the in
nocense or propriety of our ac-
tions towards these students, but
what may be the purposes and
convictions of the absent father or
mother. With this before US we
shall do well to do unto them as
we would they should do unto US.
Lastly our obligation reaches its
climax in the thought for the young
men and young women who are
here, for limited time, that they
may be the better prepared for the
greater responsibilities of long
life. We owe to them not only
the shielding from those coarserI
vices to which youth is exposed,
but the cultivating of those higher
ideals and sterner conceptions of
life. While it may be true that
"all work and no play makes Jack
a dull boy" it is better that we
stress that feature than that we en-
courage the opposite disposition.
IN experience on the college can
pus, and later associations with
college life, have convinced this
writer that such recreations as are
provided by the management of
our schools do not need any extra
effort on the part of overweening
sympathizers. Without consulta-
ton or the knowledge of any inter
ested ! have written what I have
written, and only with a desire to
remind where our obligations rest.
Yours in the interest of the child,
the parent and our schools,
T. B. H.

The teachers recital at the he.
male College Friday night was a
marked success. Miss Cavaness,
vocalist, and Miss Watson, instru-
mentalist, are gifted musicians.
Mrs. Puckett, reader, was member
of the former faculty, and her abil-
ity is well known and appreciated.
Local patrons of these departments
of the College work have every
reason to believe that their daugh-
ters are to receive able instruction
under these specialists.

Clean Up and Beausify Day, Sep
tember 9th, 1912.

GShaDSE G4Bus ASAGs
Every year our people are real
izing more and more the necessit.
of putting the school houses il
thoroughly comfortable and sani
tary condition before the opening
of school. Last year more than :
thousand schools set aside specia
day for the patrons and pupils Il
meet and attend to this importan
business. We hope this year thai
every school In the state will OBJ
serve Clean Up and Beautify Day
on Friday, September 27th, or as
soon thereafter as possible.
If the teacher can be present
ard lead In this 1t will be best, but
If not let some patron take charge
of affairs, call the people together
and preside over the meeting. Hold
a brief meeting In the school house
to appoint committees, plan just
what is to be done, and make nec-
essarY arrangements to have the
work done in q systematic manner.
This will be suitable occasion to
enroll the names of all who will
promise TO do at least one thing
for the school during the year as
members of the locrl School I'm
provement Association.
Ali crumpled maps, pictures,
booklets, etc., should be removed
from the walls and burned with the
other trash from the house and
yard. The walls, furniture, win
dows and floors should be wiped
clean of all dust. The floor and
windows should be scrubbed with
water containing some disinfectant.
Broken window panes should be
replaced, the heater cleaned, pol
ished and moved uear window,
books and pictures wiped free of
dust and tastefully arranged. Cur
tains or shades may be placed at
windows, and the building closed
tight and fumigated. To do this,
place a dish pan on bricks. In the
middle of the floor. Place in the
pan half pound of potassium per-
manganate crystals, and pour over
this pint of formaIdehyde 40 per
cent solution The above quanti-
ty is sufficient for every 1000 cu.
#. of space. For larger rooms use
"a proportionately larger amount.
The yard should be thoroughly
cleaned, fences and gates built or
repaired; the well or spring cleaned
and protected; out houses cleaned,
repaired and built. Preparation
should be made for school garden
and cold frame may be built on
the south side of the school house.
Let us have cleaner Mississippi
as far as our schools are concerned,
and thus get ready to enjoy the
greatest possible pleasure and profit
from the coming school term.
Publish this notice in the county
papers and urge the people to OBJ
serve the day.
Sincerely yours.

the shortage OF stock in that state

Good crops of cotton have been
made this year in Louisiana, just
below here, and in the delta, just
above. With anything like a favor.
able season, and with the i'm
proved methods of cultivation,
there is every reason to believe
that this section will make a good
crop next year. However, it would
be a very risky thing for planters
to plant too much cotton.

It is a mistaken idea our land
owners have of trying to sell their
entire holding for cash. If they in
tend to continue to farm, there is
no better place on earth than right
here. Ii is true that two-thirds of
the land owners of the county have
entirely too many acres; but it
would be much wiser to offer the
surplus in small tracts and retain
what they can handle themselves.
Besides, even if a cash purchaser
is found, it is fortunate man in
deed who would not have spent
the greater part of such income be-
fore being able to get a start again

On most farms at this season
weeds of many kinds are blooming
and ripening seed. They are to be
found in the pastures, in the odd
corners of cultivated fields, along
creeks and fences aud ditch banks
and terraces, in the garden and the
early truck patches perhaps. To
allow all these weeds to ma
ture means that there will be the
same abundant supply next year,
and to allow them 10 die and dry
up standing means thar their one
value, their ability TO add to the
humus content of the soil, will
largely be lost.
One of the jobs demanding spec
ial attention just now is the cutting
down OF all these intruders. They
should have been cut before seed
began 10 form. of course; but bet
ter late than never. It will pay to
cut them any time before frosi
rather than to leave them stand.

$40 acres of government coal land
for each city and 100 ere for each
town. under conditions providing for

of the coal, the prevention of any as
signment or transfer of the land, the
