Author of Expressive Phrase

"A man spoke in conversation with me last night of a stupid fellow who, as he said, lives in the gloomy calm of idle vacancy I asked him where he got the line and he could not tell. It struck me as so strong an expression that am curious to trace it. My wife suggested, an appeal to the Corner. She says she gets lots of good ideas there Can you help mo out? HENRY R. T."
 I should be ungrateful to -yor- wife and urgTacious to youf ....sding self if I did not look up your line. I thought at first it was Cowpers. He has something akin to 1t in "The Task" "Indolent vacuitY of thought" But pr. Samuel Johnson wrote to Boswell In 1763 of 'the gloomy calm of idle vacancy" Cowper wrote his line in 17s5. He may or may not have reac "Bozzys' letter.

o you believe husband should pay I his wife salary' Some virs.
 think he should. In the August number of the Mothers Magazine. Darra Moore has this to say about it:
 While it is mans business to finance the home, it is womans business to make those about her happy and heal,ry. those about her happy and healthy. she makes them good men and capable In that lies woman's great usefulness. Household economy and mana nagement, which come under woman's department, are drudgery only when the woman makes them so through disregard of new meth ods and new devices. To be the head of home is to occupy a position of great possibilities and privileges. There is no greater profession and none so intricate so many-sided, so potent in the making of it's inmates into successes or failures.
 ''Women who turn their homes into beautiful places where harassed and wornout husbands may find peace and in spration; women who keep their hus- bands up to the mark, mentally and phys cally; women, who, when failure or dis appointment comes, help men to accept II as an incentive to greater achievemt nt, talk not of salaries, rights, nor dug cry They are women who are doing a big work a noble work, work which can only be scheduled that of a partner CT director in the business of life.
 Where love is, where beauty dwells, and faith; there is nothing of the mercep- ary, the calculating. The sincere, unse- fish, loving woman does not bargain or look for return for her good deeds Her aim is to give freely and splendidly. Where the man and the woman are properly mated where there is cooperation, conf dence and comradeship, there is little talk of weekly compensation for the woman In happy, helpful homes, women do not want pay for working overtime. There they realize that to work is priv 1lege; that service freely given is dlgn- fled, diyine.'

Girls Club In Charity Work

Summer vacation is here and we want to find something that is helpful in our spare time. We are six girls, ranging in ages from IA to 16. We are planning to form a club and devote our time to learning dances and then bring our services to many charities and organizations in the |neighborhood. We have always been long ing to help. We will take in more mem bers just soon as the club is formed and we think out a plan more fully. Do you think the idea a good one? We are all enthusiastic over it and are willing to work hard We want your help in this way: We ask you to print this request In tho hope that some kind reader will an- swer us. We want an elderly woman or chaperone or older girl who will help us with our costumes and teach us the dances. Will you forward the notice to anyone who is sufficiently interested in. our idea to help us? B. S."
 As you see, 1 comply with your request The object of the organization is so ex- cellent and your enthusiasm so infectious that we lend bit of the Corner to the prosecution of the good work. Whether you will find the helper you need. who can teach the dances and oversee the prep arations of costumes is another matter Time will prove the reasonableness or un- reason of the expectation. Let us hope and believe that the project will advance to favorable conclusion.

JACKSON, MISS.
Mrs. Thompson May Make Political Speech-Tfck Eradicators Receive JOlt-Wheat Mill Kept Busy

Jackson, Miss, July 5.-(Special. )-Mrs. Margaret Kinkead Thompson of Yazoo county is the first Mississippi woman who was ever invited to make a political ad. dress, and her friends hope that she will accept. Mrs. Thompson is a candi. date for state librarian, and as such is given an opportunity to make personal announcement of that fact at the Wood man Springs picnic, Amite county, July 23 There has been a lot of politics at this health resort for two or three months, and 1t is now proposed by the manage. ment to have a great rally and campaign wind-up there on July 23, and the fact that a woman candidate is to be given chance to talk Gas if they needed it), will no doubt attract a great audience.
 The advocates of cattle dipping for the eradication of ticks received a hard jolt in Jefferson county a few days since, when A. c. Till one of the largest cattle dealers in the state, lost 40 to 50 head out of a bunch of 1S0 head that were dipped. It Is stated that the solution in the dip- ping vats was too strong. The cattle had been dipped once, under directions of the county inspector, but next day a United States inspector happened along and ad- vised Mir. Till that the solution in which he had dipped his cattle was not strong enough to kill the ticks.
 A wheat mill recently erected at Macon has been kept busy grinding wheat and making flour for the farmers of that sec- tion, some of the wheat ground having come from as far away as Winston coun- ty. Bread made from this flour, says the Beacon, Ifs excellent and has a fresh and vigorous flavor that imported flour lacxs-the difference being some- thing like that between spring and river water" A number of these flour mills have been put in running order during the past two months
 The first carload of roasting ears ever shipped out of Missssipp., so far as known, was sent from Yazoo county to Chicago a few days since, ana others have followed. returns having been so very satisfactory. It is stated that the roasting ears netted % cents per dozen which Is good and there were 400 dozen ears. At B cents per dozep corn should bring about g per pushed, and if it be true that such prices are being paid in the Chicago market, this means a great corn business to the north in the near future, and the south will begin to even up business relations.
 Elliott Bros, of Lowndes county re- gently sold a carload of spring lambs, S1 head, averaging 68 pounds, on the St. Louis market, at $9 per 100. Another ship per received $11 per 100 pounds. but either record Is sufficient incentive to cause the Mississippi farmer who has pasture lands lying idle, to embark in earnest Tn sneep husbandry. Mutton at 8 per quarter is an eye-opener to the old farmer who used to slaughter 8 lamb every Saturday and sell 1t in his home town at 75 cents per quarter.

that l became exhausted by every little
exertion. My druggist told me about

and feel much stronger. / consider
Vinol q fine tonic to create strength for
old people,. A. PRICE, Corinth.
Miss.
As one grows old their organs act
more slowly and less effectually than in
youth, circulation is poor, the blood
gets thin, the appetite poor and diges-
ton weak. Vinol, our delicious cod liver
and iron tonic, is the ideal strengthener
and body builder for old folks because
Il creates q good healthy appetite,
strengthens digestion, enriches the
blood, improves circulation and in this
natural manner builds up, strengthens
and invigorates feeble, rundown, merry
Gus and aged people, and II itdoes notdo
