tionai energy and pride in the great
work.
No one disputes the fact that Mis-
sissippi has gone ahead OF the other
states In canning club work: so much
so that other states are labelling their
tomatoes Mississippi Girl In order tc
make them sell faster.
How far the girls Of Mississippi have
benefited the State with their canning
clubs within the past few years would
be difficult to estimate. Especially
does this apply in South Mississippi.
where the boil weevil mas been so dis
astrous to the cotton crop. The girls.

MOSQUITOES HAVE COME
BACK.

The mosquito Is IN town. Vigil
lance on our part has enabled
Oxford To escape this pest, in a
very large degree. for the past
year. But Our town authorities
and the citizens along with them,
have grown careless. The result
= that there are more pools of
water. old barrels, cans and the
lie. more weed patches and
damp places than ever seen in
Oxford for many months. The
result - swarms of mosquitoes.
This terrible pest Is not only a
nuisance but he is a menace to
good health; he earries malaria
and other germ diseases. The
city authorities should call for a
clean up day and require every
citizen to elsan his premis -.
Let Us have it now, in the next
FIVE days One days work by

Let Oxford call a mosquito day
