spirit OF Ostentatious learning
Moreover, / write it that the people
OF my hometown and county,
may. by themselves, consider that
which is best for those who are to
grow to manhood and womanhood
their midst, and take the lead in
the Treasure state in matters educa-
tlOnal. There is but one county, if
| remember correctly, in which this
system OF consolidated school dis
tricts is being worked out under
careful management and supervi-
sion, and that, Rayalli. There is no
the model system of education with
QUO the least particle of fear that
reason whatsoever why Malta and
Phillips county may not enter upon
it is purely an adventure or scheme
or intrigue. And from a financial
point OF view it Will have been
found that it is the least expensive
and more economical of all the sys-
TENS heretofore inaugurated.
The scnool house is becoming
more and more each day, not mere
ly the great educational center Of
the community, but the social and
economical center as we'll. The
church is the meeting place of those
who are more or less interested
along one particular line, and, there
fore, people are prone to stay away
because differing in opinion. But the
public school is the battle ground
where the ideas and thoughts of all
| individuals may clash for the bet
te ment OF all concerned. It's uses
are becoming more evident day by
day, and the growing needs of a
community like Malta demand that
a we'll equipped building be con-
structed, where the people may ex-
press themselves on all subjects per
tanning to their welfare. The hearty
cooperation of the commercial man
the professional man, and the
farmer, can only be effectively per.
fected tn ugh the medium of q
common ground upon which lo
meet. Let, hen, the consolidated
school district and the consolidated
school be the logical meeting place

ing town of, what | for one hope tt
realize some day, the best city il

Mrs. Motlow was assisted in
receiving by a number of the

Delicious refreshments, con-
sisting of cream and cake, coffee

'ELo MISS, FRIDAY FEBRUARY 10, 1915
Miss Powell Speaks

On the evening Of the 10th the
citizens of Tupelo had the oppor-
tunity of hearing Miss Susie V.
Powell. state agent of the girls
canning club work in Mississippi,
in most interesting address be-
fore the School Improvement As
sociation.
Miss Powell, in a very forceful
manner, discussed the problem
of the poorly qualified girls who
leave their homes to seek work
in towns and cities, and suggest,
ed the canning club as a present
solution of the problem. She
also spoke Of the unsatisfactory
conditions which surround wo-
men in the home. particularly in
the rural districts; the waste of
time. energy and material re.
sources arising from ignorance
of the fundamental principles
which govern domestic life, and
urged as a means of improving
the conditions of home life the
teaching of home economics in
the schools.
She stressed the Importance of
giving girls a business education
that they may be prepared to
meet the duties ard responsible /
ties devolv,ng on home workers.
In closing, Miss Powell offered
some practical suggestions as to
the fitting up of a home science
department in an inexpensive
way.
Throughout her address the
speaker was listened to with
marked attention, and it is hop. d
that her remarks will bear fruit

Mr.. Thomas Speaks.

At the court house Saturday
morning Mr.. Bert Thomas, of
Woodstock, Ill.,, spoke to a crowd
of farmers and dairymen. Mr..
Thomas is engaged in the dairy
business and sells his milk in
Chicago. only fifty miles away.
In his talk Mr.. Thomas went in
to the subject from a practical
standpoint, having spent many
years in the business. He de-
scribed the methods employed in
northern dairies to meet the re-
quirements of the health author
tiles who inspect the milk before
it is placed on sale. In speaking
of his own dairy, Mr.. Thomas
described his. barn, silo and
milking conveniences. He has a
herd of 27 Holstein cows which
he keeps on a farm of 20 acres.
These cows are never pastufed.
but are kept on concrete floors
in the barns and lots constantly.
They are fed fifty pounds Of en-
silage, ten pounds of grain in
meal and ten pounds of cotton
seed meal when it can be Sc
cured, as a daily ration. In his
herd Mr.. Thomas has cows that
give over eight gallons Of milk a
day, and his herd last year pro-
duced more that $4,000 pounds
of milk per head.
Mr.. Thomas farm is devoted
entirely to the production of feed
for his cows. There is nothing
sold off the farm except through
the cow. He manages to feed a
cow on less than an acre of
ground. which is considered an
excellent record. The lands in
that section are too high priced
to pasture and they continue to
grow richer and more valuable
through the agency of dairying
In discussing the opportunities
offered here, Mr.. Thomas pie
tured a great opportunity for
practical men to enter the dairy
business. The cheap price of
our lands and the great diversity
OF food products and the oppor-
tunity to raise two crops on the
same land in one year is an ad
vantage that no other section
enjoys.
There is a strong sentiment
here in favor Of establishing a
dairy or creamery, and the talk
of Mr.. Thomas gave those who
heard him an insight into the
methods employed in the north
to make a success of the business.

Elevator for Tupelo

Conditions are c0nIrOntlng our
farmers that will force them to
a greater dlversification of pro
ducts on the farm and as the
farmer is forced away from old
lines it is incumbent upon those
with whom he does business to
make every effort to meet new
conditions.
Cotton is our chief money crop
and next to it in value is the corn
crop. The soil of Lee county is
not surpassed anywhere in the
south for corn production. Ex-
periments have demonstrated the
fact that $50 bushels can be pro-
duced to the acre without much
expense in fertilizing. When
cotton is low the acreage in corn
is increased and in the past the
price has reached low figures be-
cause there was more corn raised
than the county could consume.
With the present low prices OF
cotton and the high prices pre-
vailing for food products there
will be larger acreage planted
in the county in corn than for
many years. A good year will
again supply US with more corn
than the county needs. The price
next fall must be maintained and
the only means of doing this is
by the establishment of an ele-
vator here where the farmer can
dispose of his surplus without
sacrificing it.
The system of hauling to town
in the ear without classifying
the surplus corn from the farm
has brought great loss and dis
satisfaction to the farmer. The
merchant has been unable to
handle it proftably and both the
farmer and merchant have been
the losers by this system of
handling the surplus corn.
In order that we may avoid
such an experience again and
that the farmer may be able to
get all that his corn should bring
there should be an elevator here
where it can be sold to be shipped
to markets where higher prices
prevail.
An elevator would afford a
great field for new business and
some of our enterprising business
men should erect one in connec-
ton with some other business if
no one feels disposed to make
the venture Independent.
The markets in Birmingham,
Mobile and other southern cities
can always be relied upon for
corn and meal, and with good
freight rates we can meet from
here the competition that would
be found in any of the southern
cities. The time is now upon US
to begin preparations to meet the
demands of the next crop and
some enterprising citizen of Tu-
pelo should take this matter in
hand and see that an elevator is
erected here before the next crop
is harvested.
