ANNOUNCEMENT AND EXPLAIN
ALTON.
The Mysterioso club has issued
over five hundred invitations to two
grand holiday dancing parties to be
given at the Des Moires Auditorium
on Christmas eve, Wednesday, De-
cember "a, and on New Years eve.
Wednesday, December 81, 1913.
The club feels that it owes a word
of explanation to it's friends for what
happened on Thanksgiving night. It
was not discovered until the actual
experiment had been made that roller
skates had cut the floor so badly that
it would not absorb the wax. When
the situation was realized the club
promptly refunded the money for all
tickets purchased, and paid the help
and for the music in full. The Audi
forum company made a settlement
with the club which is perfectly sat-
isfactory and have already employed
a resurfacing company to put The
floor in first class shape for The two
dancing parties above mentioned. The
Auditorium will be brilliantly lighted
and decorated and mop aims spared to
make it attractive for club guests at
the forthcoming engagements.
The Berchel Theater Orchestra of
seven pieces, with chimes obligato.
will furnish the music. Tickets for
each evening will be IS usual, $1.O0
per couple. The general committee
will consist of James Woods, Claude
Harris and Arthur Jones. Kindly
forget the frost of Thanksgiving
night and prepare to bask in the hol-
iday cheer, which an earnest effort
will be made to provide under the
auspices of
Adv. The Mysterloso Clup.

St. Paurs Personal Appearance.

All that we know of Paul's per-
sonal appearance, from his own
writings, is found in II Corinthians
X. 10, which indicates that he did
not possess the advantage Of a dis
tinguished or imposing presence.
His stature was somewhat dlmlnu-
tive, his eyesight weak lsee Acts
xiii. 5 and Gal. iv. 15), nor did he
regard his address as impressive.
Much of this personal criticism, how
ever, may have been the outcome
of the apostles desire to avoid mag
nifying himself or his own talents.
A fourth century tablet represents
him as venerable looking and dignl-
fled, with high bald forehead, full
bearded, and with features indicating
force of character, One ancient
writer says Pauls nose was strong
ly aquiline. All the early writers
1among them Malalus and Nice
phorus) agree in describing the

Then some one among the stu
dents started the rumor that the
principal was not altogether beyond
the sentimental age. Charges were
made he had taken frequent trips 70
the rooms Of several girls.
This the principal denied, but the
accusation only widened the breach
between the student body and
Blocker.
The action of the trustees in ac-
cepting the principals resignation is
said not to be a reflection upon his
character. The meeting exonerated
him from the charges, but decided
the good Of the s.,.iool could be best
conserved by the appointment OF a
new head and the removal of some
Of the anti-courting regulations.

INSTRUCTOR LOSES
BY 'SP00AEY' PUPILS
Principal of Farmers High ScholI
Tenders Resignation
Under Fire.

Starkville, Miss, Nov. 25.-The
trustees of the Okitbbeha County
Agricultural high school, Tuesday,
locked themselves behind doors and
considered the question of-the gen
tie art Of making love. And the
result of the deliberation might have
been written: students wishing
to make love need not be bound by
dormitory rules"
The trustees even went little
farther. They accepted the resigna-
ton of R. c. Blocker, principal, who
had objected to moonlight strols and
cozy visits in dormitory rooms.
The meeting Of the trustees and
the appointment of new principal,
j. A. Lamb, comes as a triumph to
the student body, which recently
established lovers strike"
agains the stringency of the rules
laid down by Principal Blocker on
student courting.
A few weeks ago the principal sus-
pended three young men whom he
had discovered making violent love
within the dormitory precincts.
Promptly after the suspension a
number of students announced their
intention of leaving the school until
such time as more liberal allow
ances were made for those who
were inclined to spoon.
Principal Blocker was obdurate
and the strike grew in strength.

HUNTERS, BOIL XEEV|LS,
FARMERS AND THE BIRDS
BY A. S. COODY, in The Issue.

Weevil: (1) birds that feed on open
ground which eat the weevls on very
young cotton; (2) birds that fly
through the air and catch the wee
wills as they fly among the branches
of the cotton plant and catch the
weevis while they are feeding. The
partridge does not come within either
of these classes.
The Department Of Agriculture
has found that the most useful birds
in this fight are the swallows. And
of these they mention six species,
tree swallow, cliff swallow, barn
swallow, roughwing, bank swallow
and the martin. Several of these
species are found in Mississippi, es-
pecially the martin, which can be
raised in great numbers by simply
providing houses and nests for them.
The ordinary bull-bat is also ex-
tremely useful, as is the ordinary
little orioIe and the meadow lark and
plover mentioned in the above letter.
If those who are really interested
in the warfare on the boil weevil,
rather than trying to take small spite
on the bird hunter, will devote their
energies to the protection of the
above mentioned birds they will be
engaged in more profitable business.
And the writer says this not from
any personal interest in the matter,
since he does not do hunting save at
rare intervals.
Furthermore, the regular hunter
does not tend to destroy the par
fridge. Upon investigation it will be
found that there are actually more
partridges in places where they are
hunted than in places where they
are not because these birds if left in
large coveys. simply consort to-
gether, and do not raise young as
thew do where there are OnlV a few
pairs Of birds.
And again, in protecting bird life
the hunter should receive some at
tention. Lack of food supplies will
do more to drive birds away than
any other one thing. The next thing
is the mschievous small boy who
breaks up their nests, destroys the
young or shoots them for the sport
of the thing. Hawks also destroy |
their portion. The farmer also
comes in for his share by scattering |
poison grain about the field indiS-
criminately. Thousands of useful
birds are annually destroyed in this
way every year.
The writer is first believer in the |
protection of bird life, and laws
ought to be passed that will protect
all birds, song birds, as well as game
birds, and those laws ought to be |
enforced to the letter.
Our Legislature could well per-
form no better service to the farmer
than to enact laws that will protect
his feathered friends, but those laws
should be framed by men who un-
derstand birds and their relation tol
tbe State.

nress of the State has had more or
less to say about the partridge or
bobwhite as destroyers of boil wee
Wis, and nearly always urging that
tney be protected by law on this
account. Now the writer is seeking
no quarrel with the aforesaid editors,
nor does he take any especial joy in
challenging the wisdom of their as
sertions; but in the interest of truth
he is inpelled to state the facts in
the case as they are found. 1t has
become tradition that newspaper
editors are possessed of the wisdom
of serpents and the lore Of the ages,
hence the hesitancy in taking issue
with one of their pet theories.
Having spent much time in the
past five years in the study and ob-
servation of the boil weevi, and felt
TO some extent the result of his
work, feel that am competent to
speak with some degree Of accuracy
as to methods to be used against
the weevil, as well as the value of
the ordinary partridge as weevil
destroyers. Like stories of ghosts,
weevils in the crops of partridges,
have been reported frequently, but
never automatically. ! have person

and in not one instance have ! ever

ment publications on the value OF
birds as weevil destroyers, and in
none of them is mention made OF

Mr.. A. S. Coody, Lucedale, Miss.
Dear Sir: Your letter Of October
81, addressed to the Bureau OF
Etymology, has been referred to the
Biological Survey. In compliance
with your request, we are sending
you, through the government PRINT
ing office, our circular No. ST,
Birds Useful in the War Against
the Cotton Boil Weevil." | regret
that our other publications on the
subject are out of print and no long
er available for distribution.
We have not found that the bob
white or partridge is very effective in
destroying weeviIs. We do not feel
justified in recommending its removal
from the game list on account OF the
good it may do in destroying noxlous
insects. The meadow lark and kill
dee pIover, two species which re-
ceive scant protection in your State,
feed very largely on noxious insects,
especially the weevils. These birds,
which capture the insect on the
ground, together with the bull-bat
and swallows, which feed on the
flying insects, should be rigidly pro-
tected.
