A Mile Post in Education.
Special Booklets to Be Used In Study
Ing Products Of State-Parents
Urged to Visit Schools.

Prof. w. H. Smith, state superin-
tendent of education, will set aside a
week In the schools in the state to be
devoted to the study of Grown in Mis-
sissippi' products. Professor Smith
in starting this movement is making
history. No other state has ever set
aside a week in the public schools for
the study OF the products Of that state.
No doubt but the influence exerted
during thia week on the young people
of the state of Mississippi will be far
reaching and the week will prove one
OF the most instructive spent In the
school during the entire year. This
movement is a mile-post In the ad,
vancement of r u education.
Study Products in Schools
To study the products Of the state
for a week In the schools means that
the boys and girls will become familiar
with those products and thereby be-
come more interested in what the
state is producing.

the state in the country schools for an
entire week means that the boys and
girls will be more familiar with the
CROPS that they are producing n will
produce on the farms in the future.
A specially prepared booklet will be
used in the schools during this week.
and let us hope that every teacher OF
the state will make use of every op-
p%ortunity to interest the boys and
girls in the products of the state. Au-
thorities on the various farm subjects
are preparing the manuscript for the
hooklet. These booklets will be print

Servian Women
Shoot; Children
Throw Bombs

Rotterdam, Sept. 3o.-An Aus
trian captain, wounded in the
battle of Sjabats, is quoted in
The Bohemia, a newspaper pub
lished at Prague, in part as fo,'
lows:
"The Servian infantry is very
brave, but does not shoot as well
as it might. The good shots the
Servians have are the komitadje
irregulars, who concealed in the
foliage OF bushes and trees make
a speciality OF shooting down the
Austrian officers.
The Servian artillery is ex-
cellent, accounted for in part by
the circumstance that fighting in
its own country it is fully famil-
lar with the terrain. AS a result
their range is good, all the more
SO since they are given by the
natives information which we
cannot get. OF course. General
ly the direction of advance OF
our army is given by the Ser
vians peasants to the army by
the lighting Of great straw fires.
In the sepulchre under the
church in Sjabats we found a
telephone station with wires
running to the various Servian
headquarters.
But the Servian soldiers are
brave. Some of their tactics are
peculiar. Now and then num-
bers of them permit themselves
to be made prisoners of war for
the mere purpose of supporting
a plan of ambush. Cases, too,
have been known in which pris-
oners of war made attacks on
our men with hand grenades
concealed by them. The con-
fusion resulted from this has in
many instances resulted in the
escape Of the prisoners.
I'VE have found that women
-
fight us with rifles, while even
children are employed to throw
bombs. A twelve-year-old girl,
who was shot through the legs,
and was taken into the hospital
at Neusatz, Boosted lof having
thrown sixteen bombs among
Austro-Hungarian troops"

War Brings
Innovations
In London

London, Sept. 3o.-The war
has brought about two innova-
tions in the leading London
theatres, reduction of prices,
and the privilege OF sitting in the
best seats without wearing even
ing dress. The stalls of London
houses, which correspond to or
chestra seats in America, are or
dinarily sold at two and half dol
lars, but several of the principal
theatres have reduced the price
to two dollars. Although there
was no hard and fast lule there
was a custom which only few
independent people had the te-
merity to violate that every oc-
cupant OF the stalls should wear
evening dress. The exceedingly
fashionable theatres controlled
by Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree
and Sir George Alexander were
among the first to recognize that
war is time when fornalities
are at a discount.
When people are cutting off
their luxuries, and many in
mourning or oppressed with
anxiety for relatives at the front,
theatre going suffers a sharp de-
cline. In the interests of the
many people who depend upon
them for living the managers
are doing their best to keep their
houses open. Profit sharing has
been adopted by many London
and provincial establishments.

down from its resting place and
carefully examined.

Leeds, Sept. 3o.-Lord Char
les Beresford in addressing
recent mass meeting for the
purpose of stimulating recruit
ing here said: "The Kiel Canal
must be handed over to Den
mark, so it will be useful for the
peaceful pursuits of the world"
When the Kiel canal was
opened in 1906 the Emperor of
Germany. with representatives, of
the leading European powers as
his guests, said: Germany will
range the work inaugurated to-
day on the side of those accom-
plished in the service of peace"
1t was regarded as significant
that upon the enlargement of
the canal last June, the occasion
was not one Of international eel
ebration, although Emperor
William attended, and led a
great fleet of German warships
through the canal-which now
figures so extensively in the ma
val operations as a magnificent
refuge for the German fleet.
German strategists insist that
the Kiel canal doubles the pow
err of the German fleet as it gives
another entrance from the North
Sea to the Baltic an dforces an
enemy to scatter its strength in
order to bottle up the German
warships. Eight enormous sid
ings have been provided within
the enlarged canal in which
ships may pass. These are so
great they are said to be capable
of sheltering all the ships, of the
German navy.
English strategists assert that
the value of the canal has been
discounted considerably by the
developments of the present
war, and declare that it has, if
any thing, rendered the German

one OF the physicians in atten-
dance upon the wounded Brit
ish soldiers.
While surgery has made
wonderful strides in the last de-
cade, the results might have
been different were it not that
the antiseptic preventive meas
ures have been applied with the
utmost efficiency.
Another very important
reason lies in the fact that the
bullet fired from amodern rifle
travels with such velocity as to
obviate the danger of ragged
wound, and unless a vital organ
lies in the path OF it, the recov-
cry presents no over-difficult
problem.

1t was Lord Beresford's con-
tention that Denmark would

many held this important water
way across the Danish peninsula
and he hoped to see the day
when it, together with Schles-
wig-Holstein would be restored
to Denmark.
Enumerating other obliga-
lions which he said would fall

Germany, he said the first duty
would be to Belgium, which
would have to be amply reward
