Miss Madison's story is an extra
ordinary one, and smacks of the
dramatic. She had nearly completed
her course as a ba~cteriologist in the
chemical works of the II. X. Null
ford Chemical company. in one of
the suburbs of Phil adelphia, having
served three years. She had a good
job there but was seized last March
with a desire to see the fair at San
Francisco. So she took her savings
of the three years and went to San
Francisco. When her money was
about gone she secured a job as cash
girl in the horticultural building.
and got the meagre salary of seven
dollars per week upon which she
managed to live.
But misfortune seemed to follow
her and she got sick, necessitating
an operation and a costly stay in the
hospital. which took all the cash that
she could muster and she had to
work making blood tests, which is in
her line. to complete her payments to
the hospital. At last she lost her
job in the building. and finally,
completely down and out. she started
to walk to Philadelphia.
She left San Francisco on the 18th
of September and has walked most
of the way here. She came by the
way of Reno, and tried to get EN-
ployment there but there was moth
ing stirring in the line of a job. At
Reno she determined that she must
have more clothing and she bought
a pair of overalls TO add to her walk

DEFECTIVE FLUE CAUSED FIRE.

At about 4 O'Clock Tuesday morn
ing and one hour after the fire which
occurred in the telephone Office, the
second fire of the morning occurred at
the residence of Dick Savage in the
southern part of town. The blaze was
caused from a defective flue and the
flames leaped high above the roof.
The fire truck of the Warren Engine
was again brought into use and the
members arrived in time to prevent
any very serious loss.
The residence is the large building
that was at one time used as a school

few minutes more time there surely
could have been no chance of saving
it, says the News.
The members of the fire company
are to be commended for the excellent
work that was done at both of these
fires that occurred Tuesday morning,
and were it not for the splendid fire
truck that is owned by the company
and the alertness of the members,
there is not the slightest doubt in the
world but what both the fires would
have resulted in serious loss.

{ Capitol News.

Jackson.
r. B. Cotton, member OF the legisla.
ture from Alcorn county, has prepared
a bill to be introduced during the 1916
session. entitled "An Act to Provide a
Uniform System of Cooperative Mar.
kets," and which, If enacted into law,
will go far to place Mississippi in the
front ranks so far as the marketing of
farm produce is concerned. The idea
OF the bill is to assist farmers In get.
ting a market when 1t is generally
glutted.
The organization of the system is
placed in the hands of the state com.
missioner OF agriculture, and he is EN-.
powered to appoint his assistants and
fix their compensation. These officers
will constitute the State Association
and will have power to assist and in
struct in the organization of clubs,
warehouses, elevators, creameries,
canning factories. live stock produc-
Ing and shipping associations, but un-
der whatsoever name organized the
association shall prefix the word "Co-
operative" and be under the supervis-
ion of the state organization.
The idea is that to make these mar
keting clubs or associations of any real
merit or assistance to the producers
it is necessary to have the Endorsement
and backing Of the state.
