LIST, End and 3rd
The Fair management is laying
great deal of stress on diversified farm
ing, especially with regard to grain
and grass crops, and the premiums
to be given for exhibits of this nature
are remunerative to any who will ex-
hibit. The Association desires that
every county in Mississippi have
comprehensive exhibit Of its products
at the 1914 Fair, and 1t is believed
that large number Of the counties
will be so represented by reason of
the new system of offering bonuses,
as this sum would in many instances
pay all expense of transportation and
installation.

BETTER BABIES AND
PRETTY BABIES At THE
MISSlSSIPPI-ALABAMA FAIR

The Mississippi-Alabama Fair Asso-
clifton inaugurated at the 1918 season
the better babies" contest, a COM
potion wherein the scoring of the in
dividual physical points of baby"
were taken into consideration, and
beautiful medals awarded the highest
scoring babies in the contest.
The Association this year advances
another step to the forefront and an
nounces the Temple of Childhood, the
scope and purpose of which is to pre-
sent to the patrons of the Fair SYM
metrical portraits of the child life of
Mississippi and Alabama. The Tenn
pie of Childhood will be featured by
beauty" contest and unlike the bet
ter babies" contest, the medals, thir-
teen in number, will be awarded for
the most beautiful babies in six classes,
the ages ranging from six months to
six years.
To properly present the child life
of the states, the Association has es-
tablished the temple of childhood and
selected the Hammond Studio of Meri-
dian as directors. This studio will have
exclusive charge of making the por-
traits of all the children to be placed
in the Temple. There will be no as
sessment whatever on parent or child
for making the portrait, and the Ham
mond Studio will arrange all sittings
and pose all the little tots of the two
states who wish to enter the Temple.
1t is believed by the Fair Associa-
ton that the creation of the Temple
of Childhood with the 1914 Fair will
prove a new epoch in attractive fea-
lures, and through the portrait displays
of Alabama and AIississippi's children
the opportunity is thus presented to
form an interesting file for reference
in the later years
The Association dates for 1914 will
be from October 18th to Gath, and full
Information can be secured from the
annual catalogue which will be mailed
to any address on application to the
Secretary.

The total consumption Of sugar in
the United States in 1911 was $751;
39l tons and the per capita consump.
ton 70. 20 pounds. The sugar tax aver
aged 81. 80 per cwt. This means that
its yearly cost to the 2.224,77l inhabi-
tants Of Iowa is $2,9l6, 697.72. Out of
this vast sum we could pension the
thirty.five employees of the Waverly
establishment at 100 per cent of their
full yearly wages and have tidy
amount left.
Imperial Iowa has climate and soil
adapted to the cultivation of the sugar
beet, but she has also what the chief
beet sugar producing countries no not
possess, soil and climate suited.also to
the production of other crops which
yield as good or better results with
less labor. This is the explanation of
the fact that under many years OF
protection Iowa only developed
one beet sugar factory and that the
way of this establishment was found to
lie through shadows and miseries. The
grand state whose corn crop is seventy
per cent. of all Europe's can we'll afford
to let the Germans and Austrians EN-.
ploy themselves in the production of
the sugar beet and leave to them the
competition with the sugar producing
countries of the tropics. 1t is theil
misfortune that their necessities anc
comparatively narrow. opportunities
compel them to competition with
tropical and Asiatic labor from which
we, by reason of our natural advanta'
ges in other directions, are happily de-
livered. Telegraph. Herald.

VINO cannot go home during the
noon hour. We think this Is good
plan. After having eaten warm,
nourishing dinner the children are
much better prepared to do he
work of tn. afternoon than if they
have had a cold dinner. Even If space
is limited a great many nourishing
hot dishes may be prepared in the
school room, and the results viii
more than compensate for any :rou-
BILE that may be incurred.
