PooR RUE Is IN AGAIN

New York, Aug. 12.-WOes are
still piling up for Lawrence RUpp, the
first active militant anti-sUffrage
husband who broke up a sUfraget
meeting by asking the speaker, his
wife, why she did not come home and
cook his dinner and got arrested for

gathering.
Rupp, who is a very small man
with wistful eyes and a somewhat
hungry expression, was discharged
in the police court after he meekly
promised to interfere no more with
his wife's votes-for-women speeches
even though his supper was never.
cooked.
And now he is arrested again. He
didn't come home to Mrs. Rupp, a

Pitman, N. j., Aug. ia brood
of English pheasant fiedglings are
thriving in the barnyard of Harry
Landers, with an old hen for their
foster mother. It is the quickest
brood the experienced hen ever
Matched, for she had been on the
eggs only a day when the strange
looking chicks popped out of their
shells.
Landers found the eggs in his
grain field while he was moving. He
was startled by a fiUtteT of wings as
the whirring knives Of his machine
passed over the hidden nest and the
frightened hen pheasant flew to the
cover of a nearby woods. Landers
found that the eggs had not been
harmed, and were almost ready, so
he took them home and put them
under a setting hen.

LEND MONEY TO FARMERS.
This Ilca of COMMISSIONS of Agricul-
ture Blakeslee.

Jackson.-The Bulletin, the periodical
publication compiled and edited by H. e.
Blakesiee, commissioner of agriculture
and commerce., which has been appear
ing quite regularly each month in the
past, after missing an issue or two, IS
again to the front, that for April having
Just come from the press. The Bulletin
is gotten out by authority of the legis-
lature, and is intended for the farmers
of the state primarily, to whom it is
sent free. 1t is also sent to the MEM
bers of the legislature and to progressive
citizens, county officials, especially SUI
p~ervisors, three-fourths OF whom are
farmers, and carries generally just the
information wanted.
In the current number Commissioner
Editor Blakeslee reads a lay sermon to
the public in general on the subject of
financing the farmers, c%ontending that
II the general government can see its
way to lend money and credit to indus
trial institutions, notably national banks,
a way might be found to extend some
measure of accommodation and encour-
agement to THE man with lands that
might be offered as security" 1t is con-
tended that land is by far the safest
security for credit received that can be
offered.
On the subject of state aid to farmers,
Mr.. Blakeslee says: "The state of Mis-
sissippi could float a million dollars for
each county in long time bonds at 4 per
cent. This money could be loaned at S
per cent upon land, and the extra in
terest would take care of all the expense
necessary in handling the loans, making
collections, etc. Eighty million dollars
would soon place much more than that
mount on the tax rolls, and increase
the earning capacity of the farms many
times $50, 900. 900

business perhaps the most far-reaching
in its results of any meeting in years.
DR.. W. A. McComb, financial secretary,
made his report, showing that he had
raised in good securities $4,000 of the
100000 necessary to obtain the dona-
tion of the general education of 100000.
1t vas ordered in the scheme of enlarge
ment to spend $500 0O in building and
equipment, so President Provine will pro-

for the library building to cost $4,000.
The preparatory department of the
college was ordered to be organized un-
der a separate and distinct faculty with
equipment and force to carry the conven-
tional IA Carnegie units, the requirement
for admission into the freshman class.

WILL RAISE LEvEES.
Mississippians Prepare for Largely In.
creased Flood Waters.

Greenville.-The board of Mississippi
levee commissioners met in special ses-
sion for the special purpose of issuing
certificates of Indebtedness to the
mount of $4,000 to secure an emer-
gency fund for the high water fight.
After authorizing the issuance of the
bonds, the board considered carefully
the statement of the chief engineer in
regard to the conditions of the %levees.
and then took into consideration the
finances Of the board for the high water
fight now being made.
Even after authorizing the issuance
and sale Of certificates of Indebtedness
TO the amount of $4,000, the fact
was made plain that the big forces now
at work on the levees would exhaust
the entire resources of the board
within a few days.
The board, however, resolved to
keep up the fight until the levees were
brought up to a top grade two feet
above last years high water.

MISS AND MRS.

There Is an effort made in certain
quarters to ignore the distinction be.
tween Miss and Mrs, as applied to
married and single women. At a re
cent women's convention al Chicago
the presiding officer. who was an I'm
married woman. had her cards print
ed with Mrs. preceding her name. 1t
is understood that this is simply a
symptom of a widespread movement
Of course, the idea is to destroy this
class distinction, which induces differ
ent prophecies and rights. which in
both cases should be the same. This
would make the style the same as
holds with men, who use the word
MIR. to both the married n unmar-
ried. Now it seems IL there should be
u distinction in naming women, in Or
der to tell whether they are married
Or unmarried. the same distinction
should be made with regard to men.
for it might very often be handy to
know, for social and business reasons,
whether a man Is single or not. At
least a man should appear before So
ciety just what he is, married or In
married, for all the reasons. and
more, too, hat women are SO designat-
ed. II might be a better reform for
the women to continue their classified
ton OF Miss n Mrs, and extend to
men the obligation of a like distinc-
ton. so that the married men cannot
play Off as unmarried, which Is the
source of so much complication.
