PRETTY HOME MEANS MUCH
Attractive Surroundings of Farm
House Mark Place as Abode of
Love and Contentment.

A very observant traveller of I'M
questioned taste observes: Il wish l
could more forcibly impress upon the
mind Of the farmer the value of at
tractive surroundings. Every farm
home should be attractive. 1t is not
necessary to have a fine house or
fancy cottage or expensive lawn fence
to make the farm home pretty. To be
sure, a neat fence, a few ornaments
on the house and the free use of
paint help nightly, but the chief at
fractions can be made of trees and
shrubs. A shady lawn and a shady
driveway are always attractive. Groups
of trees, shrubs or flowers " fail
to charm. The lawn may not be kept
perfectly smooth, all the trees may
not be clearly pruned, yet the home
place ornamented with them does not
fail to convey the impression that
peace and contentment dwell there.
AS a lady from the city said: "A pref
ty farm house suggests a happy birds
nest We do not notice the dwelling
SO much as we do the surroundings.
If the surroundings are pretty we
know the interior of the house Is all
right and that it Is the abode of love
and contentment and all that makes
life worth living. We look to the city
for fine mansions, but to the country
for pretty homes"

There Is nothing that adds SO at

large, flare wire baskets. the larger

cient earth to the growing plants.
Now is the time to make these bas-
kets, as the plants should have a good
start before they are hung on the
porch. Line the baskets with wood
moss. A basket outlined with yellow
myrtle, the center being filled with
short ferns, is very pretty. The blue
myrtle Is just as good.
Trailing ferns, red geraniums and
striped grass are used In the baskets.
When porches are extremely large,
have one or more fern-1lled porcelain
jardinieres on pedestals. If the porch
rugs are red, select green j%ardinieres,
or a delft blue rug and blue porcelain
jardinieres and pedestals. The latter
is very pretty as a color scheme for
a porch.
From any furniture dealer you can
buy for a few cents the long boxes in
which curtain shades are sent by ex-
press. These boxes, If painted and
filed with earth, make very good win
dow boxes for small flowers. They
can be placed crosswise on the cor.

hung from the front to the side rail-

past year brought $3.50, 00O, 600

this amount it can be safely said
that fully half was wasted by
the public who paid to see the
movies. The class of exhibitions
are not of type to be patronized
except for the momentary en-
tertainment. There is nothing
elevating in many and this class
should be discarded for some
thing better. Moving pictures
can be made to serve a great

paramount in collecting them

Wild Animal Training

Absolute obedience from ami
mails is one of the great founda-
tions of training the wild beasts.
Without it, there would be no
performing wild animals, and no
trainer. It is a we'll known fact
that trainers often spend hours
and sometimes a whole day, in
sisting on an animal doing some
little which he is reluctant to do.
1t is simply a matter of obedience
and it must be insisted upon, no
matter at what trouble.
Herr Ernest Albers, one Of
the most daring trainers in the
world. who works a group of
wild animals with the Hagenbeck-
Wallace Shows, nearly lost his
life at one time because he had
not insisted on an animal prompt
ly obeying him. Herr Albers
prefers only to train the most
savage and dangerous beasts,
but in this case he had concluded
that the animal was not feeling
very we'll, and it is a strict rule
that no animal who is the least
sick is allowed to perform or be
trained. For this reason the
animal was led off; but the next
time he absolutely refused to do
what was wanted of him, and
the fact of trying to make him
do it brought about an attack.
AS it was, Herr Albers got off
with a badly torn hand and arm
and was in the hospital several
weeks.
1t is not the eye-though that
may express the qualities or
resoluteness of wariness and pa
tience-it is the brain that con-
trolls a group of lions. In asso-
citation with animals of the feline
species, there is an ever element
of danger present. no matter
how we'll trained they may be.
Every time a trainer turns his
back in a cage he risks his life;
not a great risk, to be sure. but
there is always chance of death
in a stroke. Yet it is impossible
to keep the eye on half a dozen
animal at once, let alone twenty
and the man must trust to the
good temper of his subjects and
his own control and good for
tune.
The worlds greatest collection
of wild animals will be in Tupelo
Thursday, Nov. 6, with the
Hagenbeck- Wallace circus.

THE LOST YEARS
OF THE ScHOOLBOY

The question Of the prepare
ton of the young for college is
one that is attracting universal
attention in the educational
world and has brought about an
investigation of the slowness of
preparation of children for col
lege life. Somehow and some
where there is lost time that
should be more proftably uti-
lized than is now the case.
In our graded schools the ten
dency is to stretch out the years
rather than bunch the work in a
shorter time. Many of our
schools have eleven grades and
some of them add another year,
requiring twelve years to COM
plete the course. A child that
begins at seven years, which is
recognized as plenty early, will
be nineteen years of age before
it completes its course in the
public school and is perchance
ready for college. Four years in
college completes the literary
course, bringing him out at the
age of twenty-three a graduate
without a profession. At this
age the duty of acquiring a pro-
fessional or avocational educa-
ton taken up and pursued until
completed or abandoned as the
case may be.
1t is quite evident that this
system is robbing the child OF at
least two years of its life. The
remedy lies in the hands of the
man who is welded to the sys-
TEN and insists upon following
it out regardless of the sacrifice
of years that the child must
make.
Professor Henry A. Perkins,
of Trinity College, in the Yale
Review for October discusses the
schoolboy's loss of two years.
Professor Perkins is not blinded
by our system. but takes issue
with the advocates of the long
time in preparation. He says:
IF we did not lose so much time
in our preparation, we might
adopt the European method
which gives a boy a liberal edu-
cation by the time he is nineteen
years old; and then We could
turn him into business, equip
him to get the best out OF him.
self through the rest of his life;
or send him to the university to
study some particular profession
without distraction or irrelevant
courses, so that he might reach
the age of practising his pro-
fession two years earlier than at
present, but still with the founda-
tons of a truly liberal. culture.

PRES. WILSON VISITS MOBILE

For the first time since his IN
auguration President Wilson Wis
tied the South. passing through
Virginia, North and South Caro-
lima and Georgia, enroute to the
Southern Commercial Congress
at Mobile, Ala.
The president was greeted
along the route by enthusiastic
crowds. AS most of the trip was
made on Sunday he declined to
make a speech.
At Mobile President Wilson
was enthusiastically received and
his speech on that occasion
measured up to the statesman
ship which he has displayed
since he became president. He
took occasion to express his
views on matters now claiming
the attention of both continents,
and set forth the position of this
COUNTRY in matters affecting the
nations south of US. Referring
in a general way to our treatment
of these people he also set out
very plainly what outsiders must
do in handling questions affect
ing these people. On this sub
.ject Mr.. Wilson said:-
''It is a very perilous thing to
determine a foreign policy in

is indeed a degrading thing.

casion to say, too, that the United
States will not seek to secure one
additional foot of territory by
conquest. 1t will devote herself
to showing an honest and fruit

and she must regard it as one of
the duties of friendship to see
that from no quarter are material

liberty and national comfy. |
