w. D. Gooch, principal of the De-
Soto County Agricultural High
school, was a recent visitor to the
Mississippi Normal college. Mr.. Gooch
was very much interested in the work
being done at the Normal, and
was both surprised and delighted
to find that this young educational IN
stitution has such a magnificent equip
ment.
In discussing the affairs Of the agri-
cultural high school over which he has
the management, Mr.. Gooch said that
both boys and girls were taught to
work in his school. There was a pre-
dominance of boys attending last sea-
son and he required these boys in their
turn to assist in the dish washing and
the hall sweeping, besides the work
they did in the garden and field. With
the team system in force no trouble Is
experienced in securing the co-opera
ton of the boys. By working the boys
In shifts no burden is imposed on then
and they soon learn to like the employ
ment. By that means the time Of three
hired servants is saved to the schoo
as a body. The expenses are distrib
uted on the cooperative basis.
The school of which Mr.. Gooch 1
principal is at Olive Branch, 10 mile
from Memphis. He is assisted b
three teachers and they had SO stu
dents for the months of the past ses
sion, which was their first.
Speaking of the cost to the student
, Mr.. Gooch said that their board alon

Milan, Italy, June 14.-On a dry and
gravelly soil farmers of this district
harvest as many as nine forage crops
in a single year. according to state
ments made by agricultural co-opera-
ton today. Tne secret Of the extreme
fertility of this region lies in the
system of irrigation, which was shown
to the Americans.

not by statues, but by the more sensi-
BILE idea of building canals or irrigating
systems. AS a consequence the coun-
try about this city is honeycombed
with irrigation bitches. About twenty
years ago a plant was erected by the
government to carry the sewage OF
the city into these bitches. From the
main canals the sewage charged water !
8 carried through the irrigating bitches
into the fields.
This water spreads thinly over the
fields and since it has a comparatively
high temperature the fields are kept
green and productive for all except
about forty days of the year, despite
the fact that the winters are compare
lively severe. The heavy forage crop
which this system makes possible is
responsible for the great development
of the dairy industry of this district.
Large quantities of cheese and con-
densed milk are exported each year
to countries which have better natural
facilities for dairy products than the
country about Milan.
Even the street sweepings OF the
city are used to increase the produc-
. tivity of the neighboring farms. Bones
and other refuse matter Of a similar
character are used in the manufacture
OF fertilizers, and the manure Is sold
to the farmers engaged in intensive
agriculture, principally in raising SILK
worms. The fertilizer sales are insult
ficient to meet the expenses of oper-
ating the system. The cost balance
/ lis made up through taxes.
Abundant labor is needed to obtain
the agricultural results which the sta
1 tistics of this district show. But pro-
gressive methods are also depended
upon. American farm machinery Ia
frequently seen by the American Wis
itors to northern Italy. Where such In
tensive cultivation Is practiced 1t Ia
profitable to use large quantities Of
fertilizers and manure. To the south
of Milan where most Of the irrigated
lands are situated the farms are abou
$50 acres. The principal industry o
4 these farms is darying, the herds av
l eraging from 100 to $50 cows. Tn
milk is used in cheese making chiefly

lights, fuel, steam heat, water and
janitor service averaged $5.42 IL cents
a month for each student during the
eight months session, or total for
the session of $43.30.
One girl, an orphan, applied for ad-
mission to the school and told the prin-
cipal that she wanted to work her way
through. Mr.. Gooch asked her what
she could do. Her prompt reply was
81 can do anything" "Can you cook?"
was the next question; to which the re-
ply came promptly, 81 can" This
girl was employed to assist in cooking
for the school and during the session
she was allowed s76, which was within
$1,000 of enough to pay the expenses
of herself and a younger sister, both
of whom went through the session with

French Socialists Unite To
Defeat Government Mil
itary Plans.
Law Is ESSENTIAL
TO OFFSET GERMANY
BY paul ViIiers.

n ARTS, France. Nov. 1.-The COM
ing elections in France, which
4 are set for May, will be fought
over the question as to whether &C
tive service in the army snail be two
or three years. M Jaures. leader Of
the socialists, has made this plain.
Three Years Service Opposed.
The government had succeeded in
raising the term of service with the
colOrs to three years as an offset to
GermanyS increased army program.
1t was deemed essential for the pres
ervation of Frances position in Euro
pean affairs. 1t was accomplished,
however, only over the bitter oppOsi-
ton of the socialists and it is now
announced at the conference recently
held at Pau all branches of the So
cialiSts are united on the proposition
to repeal this law.
VIII Break Up Radical Party.
It means the breaking up of the
Radical party and the unificatiOn Of
the socialist groups.
That the socialists will have a big
ger representation in the next assem-
bly, seems certain, but those in touch
with public opinion throughout the
country are inclined to believe that
the government will come back with
a more compact and homogeneous ma
jority than it has at present
If France is to hold anything like
her relative strength with Germany
except the syndicolists and advanced
socialists realize it The government
will gain more from the more con-
sentative radicals, the Royalists and
Imperialists, than it loses to the So
eialists.

GERMANY In
PEACE PACT
Balkan War Removes Dan
ger of Clash Between Two
Great Powers.
BOTH IN FEAR OF
RUSSIAN STRENGTH
BY MALCOLM Clarke.

n ERLIN. GERMANY, Nov. I'm the
opinion of many public men in
Germany, the Balkan was has &C
cOmplished one great good if no other,
in that it has done much to bring about
q friendlier feeling between England
and Germany. So much is this the case
that few outside the most rabid mill
tants express the belief that a conflict
between the worlds greatest military
and the worlds greatest naval power IS
inevitable
Professor Delbruck, the famous Ger
man publiciSt thus sums up the stu
alton. The two countries have been
able TO work together, in a practical
business like way. England has once
more been enabled to see how peaceful
is German policy.
Moreover, the Balkan crisis has re-
vcaled how dangerous Russian power
and policy may become to German in
terests. 1t does not seem TO be COM
monty understood in England that it
is on account of Russia and not at all
on account of France that We have felt
obliged to make our enormous increases
in our army. Then again, there has
been noticeable during the past few
months of the Balkan trouble, a certain
relaxation, / will not put it more
strongly, of the entente between Eng
land and Russia That has naturally
v
German friendliness towards England"
VIII Not CurfaiI Navy.
While this is all true Germany real
ICES that to make her position secure
she must have an adequate navy.
Hence the GOODNESS with which the re-
cent proposition of Winston Churchill
that no ships be laid down by either
nation in 1914 Of course it is recog-
nized here that the German fleet can
never equal in power that of Great
Britain. It is also recognized that
Great Britain is much more vulnerable
than Germany through her colonies
and her food supplies from over seas.
With a smaller navy it will be posi-
bic for Germany TO so threaten the
its food supplies and isolating its col
onies that its neutrality would be en-
forced in case Germany goes to war
with another power. Until Germany's
navy has enabled her to do this there
will be no question of the naval pro-
gram. z

Fully 100000 Are Declared
To Be Destitute and Many
Starving.
DOCK STRIKE HAS
GROWN CRITICAL

~ UBLIN, ireland. Nov. 1.-Condi-
tions here among the poorer
- classes are appalling. It is esti-
mated that not less than 100000 peo-
pie are destitute, while thousands are
actually starving as a result of the
Employers Federation and the Trans
port Workers union, which has settled
into desperate test of endurance.
Business in the Irish capital is at a
Standstiu. Ships are lying idle at the
wharves and the quays are piled up
with merchandise which needs to be
taken away to be protected from the
weather The trades people are suf-
and the condition of the working class
portion of the city is simply appalling.
Many, on Verge of Starvation.
Only the food which has come in
the relief ships has kept many fami-
lies from actual starvation. Any cessa-
ton of these supplies would be fol-
lowed by understandable misery. In
streets consisting entirely of four
story tenements scenes of abject des-
titutiOn are to be witnessed daily.
Strike Costs 100000 Daily.
1t is estimated that the strike is
costing Dublin $4,000 a day and there
is no end to the dispute in sight. There
are two big figures in the labor war
two rival dietators, William Martin
Murphy and James Larkin Mr. Muir
ply is chairman of the Dublin Tram
way company, proprietor of a daily
newspaper and of an hotel, a draper, a
railway contractor. and director Of
other concerns. He has at his back
the support of the organized employ
ers of dublin.
La-kin Now All Powerful.
James Larkin, the mems leader, was
born in Liverpool The founder of the
Irish Transport and General Workers
union, he is now all powerful in Irish
labor movements He is revered by
his followers, who have immense faith
in him His deadlieSG weapon is the
sympathetic strike. Even his fiercest
critics admit that Larkin has good
points, Among all the thousand mem
bers of the Irish Transport Workers
union his word is unwritten law. Those
who saw him working so tirelessIy
himself. and spGring none of those
about him, when the first relief food
ship was unlOaded at Dublin, discov-
cred one secret of his power The
strike situation has so far as Dublin
is concerned, overshadoWed home rule

everything else.
