Inc establishment of this new 1nstltu-
tlon is recognition, upon the part or the
Gamers. that the highest degree of per-
lection must be acquired to fit their prod
ucts for the food of the nation. Instead
or hghting laws looking toward this end,
the Gamers are lending their aid toward
their enforcement, thereby raising the
standard Of canned foods. The increas-
ing amount Of canned food eaten each
year renders its purity essential to the
canned food product of the United States
reached a value of $157 100000. A case
or canned food containing two dozen cans
was consumed by every three men, wo-
men and children in the country.
Tomatoes form the greatest cannery
output. More than 100000 cases OF
tomatoes were canned in the United
states last year, which Is the highest
number on record. More than 13.OoOOO
cases of corn and about S,OO,UU cases
Of peas came next in the amount OF the
canned products. These three vegetables
are each put up in number OF grades,
and the consideration of a standard la
bel. which will enable the purchaser to
know just what grade he is buying. IS a
matter to which the Gamers are now
giving consideration.

SENATOR OWENS At normal
WAS ONE LEADING ADVOCATE OF
A COLLEGE DELIVERS ABLE ADDRESS AT
MORNING EXERCISES

Hon. Joe Owens, of Union county.
a prominent and influential member of
the state senate, whose friendly at
titude towards the Normal College
idea went far to give Mississippi such
an institution, was the speaker at the
public exercises in the College Chapel
this morning. For thirty minutes he
spoke on the general subject of educa-
ton and necessary educational laws
and incidentally in very great praise
Of what the Normal college has done
and is doing.
Mr.. Owens said that the splendid
buildings here meant much, but added
that buildings don't make a school any
more than a house makes a home. He
described pathetically mansion scene
which was not home, and a cabin
scene where every element of human
sympathy and love went to make a
real home, where love reigned supreme,
and the wife and mother and queen
of the home was also the house keeper
and the cook. Speaking of the valu-
able and beautiful buildings provided
here for this school, with pun on the
name of its president, he said as in
every home the wise thing to do is to
get the right kind of a Cook, so the
Mississippi Normal had made no mis-
take in first of all getting a good Cook.
Senator Owens asked what have
these splendid buildings been erected
for? For the benefit of the teachers
of Mississippi? Yes, for the teachers,
but only as the teachers can benefit,
the 'one-gallus," "freckelfaced," red
headed" ''pug-nosed" boy way back
in the remotest corner of the remotest
district of Mississippi. The basis OF
free education to teachers in this
school is an argument on the part Of
the student to devote at least two
years to teaching in the rural schools
of the state. Whenever this college
loses sight of that boy or girl in the
rural section, then If he is still Mis-
sissippi legislator, that body will lose
sight Of this college. But this he does
not expect. I want the day to come
when there will be a money premium
put on the teacher who will go to the
thinly settled and remote corners fol
the purpose of imparting knowledge
