Womans' Missionary Society.

The weather beirg very lnclement,
we failed to have our business meeting
for last month. !.
On the fourth Monday we had most
enjoyable social meeting with our pres
ident, Mrs. Walter Price. The topic of
study for the afternoon was "Our Work
for the Negro at Home and in Africa"
and several instructive and entertain
ing articles were read on that subject.
Dainty refreshments were served by
the hostess and while was spent in
social conversation.
The following story is sent out by
Mrs. A. C. Yeaiger, our conference
press superintendent, and she suggests
that its moral be applied to the work
of those Offices in our auxiliaries that
may be considered Of little consequence:
"Once great King wanted new
picture for his art gallery. He gave
the commission to the most celebrated
artist in his realm. This artist decided
that it should be done in mosaic. He
called a number of the best OF his fel-
low artists together and gave to each
of them part to do. To one he gave
such small part that it did not seem
worthy of his notice. so he forgot it.
At last the time came to complete the
picture and each artist was called on to
bring his part. All came but the one
who thought his part too small to be
worthy of notice; but it was the key to
the whole color scheme of the picture.
without which it could not be complete, !"
"And unto one he gave five talents,
to another two and to another one; to
every man according to his several

we buried and forgotten it?

In this article it is my purpose to
make few remarks apropos to the
section of the grand jury report which
made special reference to this institu-
tion. Although. weight of suspicion
cast upar us seers q burden incommen-
surate. with the actual state of affairs
as seeh by those OF US whose aim is not
to overlook violation of law in places
high or low, do not come as critic of
body whose sworn duty 1t is to inves-
tigate all people and all communities
alike. This honorable body seems to
have done it's duty thoroughly, but the
tone of the report itself, | fear, will
lead and has led some into miscon-
struction of the honest efforts OF some
of our good citizens to find out and
punish the iniquitous practice of retail
ing, however small its operation. The
county's institution needs pure at
mosphere and that is what we are try
ing to give it. This effort has had the
following results: About one thlld the
total number Of witnesses summoned
went by way of the Mashulaville road,
and of the seventy-three true bills re-
turned, only one Indictment was found
against blind tiger from this place.
This was a negro who left the place
before Christmas. And let me empha-
sice the fact that he did not operate in
''gun shots distance of our premises. :"
It wouldn't be safe.
The school is, indeed, suffering from
the "baneful effects" of the blind tiger,
but not from such as operate among
pupils of our school. Otherwise it es-
capes the alertness of faculty who
have their boys with them in a dormi-
tory, or know where they are by per-
mission and make il business always
to know their condition and surround
ings 1t is suffering to some extent
from the mistaken idea of good num-
ber of good citizens that we have a
nest of illicit retailers around the
school. Blind and unworthy would a
man be if he failed to exercise the ut
most care when boys are placed under
his protection, especially if he could
not smell whiskey around his own prem
ises. l venture the assertion, that
from the very fact of our locality and
by virtue of regulations necessary to a
boarding school no other school OF its
size in Noxubee county is as nearly
free from whlskkey, cigarettes and
gambling among its boys. This is not
said in a boastful spirit, for local senti-
ment favors US, nor is it said in a cor
ner. for want every citizen to know
that / stand uncompromisingly on the
side of law and order and use every eff
fort to lift high standard of citizen
ship. Let no citizen conceive the idea
that this school is fostering any prac-
tice that smacks of violation of law, or
indeed tolerates such practice where it
can stop it.
In the meantime we are having our
boys terrace land for progressive farm
ers, having girls in different parts of
the county preperi1g to raise fine toma-
toes, giving boys and girls 9 COED high

Prices Advancing Everywhere.

Many persons pretend to trace
the recent increase in the cost of
living in America to local condi-
tions, peculiar to this country,
and to see q besteiSsituation else
where. Recent quotations from
England, France and other Euro
pean countries, and complaints
as to the high price of food pre-
vailing there, caused some modi-
fication of these views. How
widespread is the advance in
prices, and how nearly this ad-
vance covers the entire world, is
shown in the report of our consul
at Hong Kong, telling us Of the
cost of living in China, the coun-
try of low wages and low prices
where millions of people make
only a few cents a day, and can
not therefore afford to buy much
food, even when it is at the low
est.
The cost of living in Hong
Kong and Southern China has
adva iced 55 per cent since 1906,
Consul Carleton declares, the
greatest advance ever recorded
in such time, Rents have shot
up. lands have advanced in value.
Labor, in spite of the incoming
of thousands Of laborers, is de-
manding an advance of from &c
cents to 50 cents day-a proof
that immigration has less infu-
ence on the price of labor than
has been contended. Our consul
reaches the conclusion that the
increase in the cost of living is
even greater in that quarter OF
the world, nearly an exact antip-
odes. than in the United States
or Europe.
The high cost Of living in China
is a question over which Ameri-
cans cannot be expected to get
much excited; but the informa-
ton we get from that and other
distant countries that prices are
advancing should at least con-
vince us on one point, that the
advance in America contempora-
neously with the rest OF
the world is not due who'll
" to the local causes as pre-
tended by many; and that some
of the petty remedies suggested
for existing conditions, and to re-
lieve the public, are chimerical.
The trouble is worldwide one
and will, therefore, have to be
treated on broad and genera
principles. -Times-Democrat.

M. E. Coffman, after living in
two other states, three years ago,
went to Noxubee county. Missis-
sippi. and began dairying on a
small scale. In April. 1910. his
herd consisted of % graded Jer-
seys. one registered cow and one
registered bull. Then he began
shipping cream to Mobile, Ala,
at 80 cents per gallon for 20 per
cent cream. From the profits
cows were added to the herd by
purchase and all the heifer calves
were raised. The herd today
numbers 43 cows, 80 heifers and
calves, including three registered
heifers. bought for $50 per bead.
and one registered bull.
Mr.. Coffman has 256 acres of
land, A miles northeast from Ma
con, of which 14O acres are in
pasture, and % acres are now in
winter oats. Lespedeza and john
son grass are the chief hay crops.
and under proper rotation soil
fertility is being improved steadi-
ly. The farm cost $40 an acre
and is now valued at $50 an acre.
Mr.. Coffman writes that he sells
an average Of Is gallons of cream
Gaily, which at rs cents. brings
an annual return of 81, LOG. Is:
this year ten cows have been sold
to give place for heifers, at $40
per head, a total of $400, and to-
tai receipts of $4.5O6.25. In the
expenses are included the salaries
of four men at $500 per year;
20 tons of bo>ght feed at $50 per
ton; ice. $328:50; return of empty
,ins, $136.87; repairs and Incl
dentals, $500. The total expense
is 81, 1851, and the profits, ST.

FOOTBALL FEVER
They were poor, very poor. But
there could be no doubt at all
that, with the men of the house
at least, football was the ruling
passion.
It was Saturday night. The

her when he returned.

signed conditions for the Americas cup
races next year were received by Sir

fact to the guests who included the
competitors and committeeman of the

I am perfectly satisfied with them"
he said 1T is true that they do not
compel the Americans to meet me with
a boat of the same size as the Sham

this would be done"
Sir Thomas found assurance of this
in the announcement that Cornelius

to build the defender
