HUGO'S WORKSHOP.
HE Carpenters Hench and the shaw
inss That Fell From Il.

HE Carpenters Bench and the shaw
ines That Fell From Il.
= A graphic description Of a visit to
victor Hugo in Guernsey and Of his
quaint home there ssgiven by the late
Sir william Butler in his autobiogra-
ply:
"Of the many curious things to be
seen in HauteviIle House the masters
sleeping room was the strangest. He
had it built on the roof between two
great blocks Of chimneys. You as
cended to his workshop bedroom by
stairs which somewhat resembled
ladder Quite half OF the room was
glass, and the view from It was mag
nihcent The isles OF Jethou and Eark
were in the middle distance, and be-
yond lay many mile OF the Norman
coast. Alderney lay to the north, and
beyond it one saw the glistening win
dows Of the triple lighthouses on the
Casquet rocks and still more to the
right the high ridges overlooking Cher
bourg. The bed was.a small camp bed
stead, with table on one side OF 1t
and small desk chest Of drawers on
the other, with pens, ink and paper al
ways within reach
Near the bed stood q small stove,
which he lighted himself every morn
Ing and on which he prepared his cafe
au lait. Then work began at the large
table which stood In the glass alcove a
few feet from the foot Of the bed.
This work went on till 1t was time to
dress and descend to dejeuner in the
room used for that purpose on the
ground floor. AS the sheets Of writing
paper were finished they were number
ed and dropped onvthe floor to be pick
ed up, arranged and put away in the
drawer desk at the end Of the MORN
ing's labor. He called the writing Ia
Bile his carpenters bench and the
leaves which fell from it his 'shavings.'
''It was at this table and in this airy
attic that most OF the great work Of
his later life was done. Here were
written Les Miserables,' Les Travail
leurs de Ia Mer, and many volumes Of
poetry"

Much Need of Better Marketing Conditions

ghost and all the horrors of fright
confront US when we are brought
face to face with the millions this
country is wasting annually in plac-
ing the crops, orchards aud garden
products and animal products upon
the tables of the consumer. This
loss is sustained by intelligent peo-
pie in time of peace, when the trans

they haYe ever been in this nation
history, and when more is said and
done for education than ever before

not render any assistance in the So
luton of this alI-importantq question?
Who is not either a producer or a
consumer of food, and who would not
be benefited by saving the millions
lost every year because of waste in
marketing? Echo answers, Whol

Energetic Editorials Cause Thinking.

The average newspaper man is
honest and right thinker, and he
has the ability to put his thoughts to
paper, but too often he hasn't the in
clination. and thereby his editorial
page loses a standing with its read
ers and incidentally with himself.
Given honesty, right thinking and
energy, the editorial page becomes a
power and a necessity to It's readers.
Even though the ideas expressed
thereon may not Always be right. yet
they are ideas. and as such certain
to provoke discussion, and discuss on
means enlightenment, and after all
that is the true vocation of a news
paper to enlighten people.
In a nutshell, thought, honesty of
purpose and little energy will pro-
duce an editorial article. The edito-
rial will make people think. To think
is necessary il we are to preserve our
liberties and advance our civilization.
Arguing thus. the editorial and the
editorial page is necessity and
should be maintained at as high
standard as possible. Moyle Ed

Sweet Potatoes Profitable Hog-fattening

Moss Point Advertiser.
There is marked difference in a
potato that claims this section OF
Mississippi as its birth place and
the common variety that grows in
other sections. If the south Missis-
sippi sweet potato once gets recogni-
ton in a northern market, recogni-
ton to which it is justly entitled,
there will be demand for no other
potato.
Not alone can a farmer make a
profitable living by raising sweet
potatoes but at the same time he
can make a handsome profit by rails
ing hogs, feeding his swine on the
potatoes he grows on his farm. Such
a feat is being accomplished over the
state with a marked degree of sue
cess, There is no crop that can be
grown with less expense than sweet
potatoes, and none that can be fed
to stock that costs less than the po-
tato, and which at the same time
briggs about better results.

Punch Boards Are Near Gambling Devices

Grenada Sentinel.
Our editorial Of Dec. 5, in which
we dealt with the punch boards =
being operated IL Grenada, has been
most generously endorsed by the
fathers and mothers of our city. The
pastors of the Methodist and the
First Baptist churches ably seconded
what we had said, from their pulpits
last Sunday.
We meant exactly what we said in
that editorial. We are not censur-
ing anybody and are aware of the
fact that the devices have been oper-
ated here for sometime. but because
a thing which is hurtful was tolera-
ted last year, is no reason why it
should be tolerated today and for the
months to come. It takes people
quite little while sometimes to be-
come aroused.
What we have said has been in
kindness and for the best interests
of Grenada and we hope those who
have the punch boards will see the
wisdom of discriminating them.
Those who have the boards are our
friends and there is nothing too good
for them.
A newspaper should always stand
for that which is highest and best
and It's duty to the community should
compel it to raise its voice against
any hurtfnl practice.

Favors Some Banking Law Safeguards

Senatobia Democrat.
The Banking Committee has de-
cided on certain provisions which
the 1914 Legislature will be reques

1t is high time that certain meas

committee should bear in mind that
though their provisions will safe
guard the public that now and then a

excitement and labor of Field Day
on Saturday so that they are not fit

We need to come to Sunday school
