BOTH GET HIGHER WORK,
Prof. Hutchinson and DR.. Shields
Elected Members of the Faculty
of Clemson College.

Prof. w. l., Hutchinson, of the
chair of agronomy, and DR.. Shields,
of the chair of animal husbandry
who recently resigned from the
faculty of the Mississippi A. & M.
College when the new force
assumed charge of the institution,
have been elected to similar posi-
tions in the faculty of Clemson
College, i'll South Carolina, one of
the leading agricultural colleges in
the United States. Both have ac-
cepted, and will leave the state in
a few days to assume their new
duties,
The departure Of Prof. Hutchin-
son from the A. & NJ. College is a
source OF especial regret because of
his wide familiarity with agricul-
tural affairs in Mississippi, cover
ing period of nearly thirty years,
and the position be has occupied in
the agricultural development of the
state will be hard to fill. There is
not a county in the state with the
resources and possibilities of which
he is not ultimately acquainted,
and his long experience in the work
was a valuable asset to the state.
1t is YOmored that a change in
the office force is pending at the
college, involving a demand on the
part of Capt. Frank Burkitt that
a job be found for his son-in-law
AS Capt. RpHkitt engineered the
steam roller deal that DESTROYED
President Hardy's administration
and resulted in the election of Mr..
u H. hlghtower to the presidency,
it can safely be taken for granted
that a Job will be found for the
aforesaid son-in-law.
Mr.. I. A. Downing, for several
years steward at the Mississippi In
sane hospital, has been named as
steward at the a. \ NJ. College.
This selection will be cordially ap-
proved throughout the state. Mr..
Downing is a man Of long expe-
rience and established ability in
work of this character. jackson

that the Wilson campaign fund be
made up by the rank and file of
the party and that every individ-

$500 or more, and thus lot the

contribute the national campaign

One Way to Keep The Maid

f~1HH housewives of a certain suburban community who had been
wrestling rather Intellectually with the servant girl problem at
last hit upon q plan by which they have not only been able to ice
- their maids, but gradually to secure a much b v class of workers.
ice in the suburbs was loneliness and lack Of social pleasures. Armed with
these two facts, and driven to desperation by their inability to keep maids
with them, several of the housewives got together and devised a plan to
overcome these drawbacks. Then they invited the other householders of
and didn't look very feasible, SO great IA their strait, they determined
to try It.
And it a nothing more nor less than providing for the maids a
clubhouse, where they could gather in the evenings, also in the afternoons
they pleased. They could meet their friends there, sew, chat. play games,
dance, have any amusement that al right and proper.
~ A house wal rented by the housekeepers of the community, simply
but prettNy furnished, and turned over to the maids, who elected their
own board of management. with one of the women of the neighborhood
al honorary member. housekeepers put 1t up to them to run the
place properly; and be 1t said, there has never been any complaint. In
deed, thu maids take great pride In their club, and are as anxious that it
shall be all it ought to be As are the mistresses themselves.
The housewives went even further than this. After the dinner or sup
per work vas over, they agreed to xact 0 further service from their
helpers. 1t was up to the maid to get her evening work done as Al
she wanted to. and then she al free. Thus the girls could gather in
their clubhouse At a reasonably early hour in the evening. II some social
affair was going on, and the mistress needed her maids help, she paid
her exra for It.
anxious to get work in the suburb. 1t not only brought g. better class
OF workers, and made them more satisfied, but it created a much better
feeling than had ever existed before between mistress and maid. And many
of the girls themselves acquired a certain dignity and selfrespect which
that belonged to them particularly and in which they could receive friends
on a different footing from that of their place of employment
The lost Of" running the clubhouse, when divided among the women
hacking it. added little individually to the expense for household help
constant change of servants or no servants at all, that it vas well worth
the additional cost.
Some such movement might be practicable in other neighborhoods
And If not worked out exactly like this, the thought may suggest sol
similar line of action that may prove helpful.
