roadways. Unfortunately, the roads,
as general rule, are only 20 feet
wide, and that was regarded as too
narrow to permit automobiles to be
used, SO there is no use trying to take
motor car to Bermuda, for the ma

Simple, Pleasant Life.
While there is nothing without in
terest on the islands to the visitor, it
still is the land of the simple life;
and not so very simple, either, when
one considers that there are two
places where one may see moving pic
lures. There is something progress
sive abotH that, but it must be re-
membered that the total resident pop
ulation of the islands, and that in
cludes the two towns, although Hamil-
ton, the capital, is called a city, is only
about $1,000 persons. The remainder

There are plenty of amusements
for the visitor, but they are naturally
almost all of them of the outdoor
variety. The climate and the general
character of the weather rather sug-

In cold climates especial attention
is given to the window and door
frames to have the stucco carefully
worked into the cracks and crevices
and to have the outside window cas-

mortar is troweled up close to the
window and door frames just before

Cat Saved Soldiers Life.

A singular story OF an English Of.
ficer having his life saved by a. cat is
told by Sir N. Lloyd OF Newport,
Pembroke, England, the father of the
officer in question. Lieutenant Lloyd
became detached from his regiment
near the French frontier. He found
refuge in an clubhouse. where he re-
manned in an exhausted condition for
three days. When he was found cat
was discovered curled around his
neck, and It was the conviction Of his
rescus1a that but for this cat Lieu
tenant Lloyd would have perishet

Return Of the Train.

Trains are used on most of the new
evening gowns. For long time most
evening gowns. especially on younger
women, have been trainless. Some, to
be sure. have had trains. But now
most OF the new ones have them. With
short skirts. all the way around, the
train gives rather odd appearance,

When one steps from the steamship

to have at the same moment moved

so violent as one might believe. New
ertheless, it is change. The absence
of tall buildings. the prevalence of

1t is incorrect to allude to the land
as Bermuda, for there is a small
archipelago, and collectively the is
lands are known as the Bermudas. |
But Americans probably always will |
refer to it as Bermuda.
The Bermudas consist of about ore |

counts all the islets that are visible

Industrious geodetic surveyor has
left it of record, there are 365. The

In general way the main islands
are arranged in the form of a fish
hook, and the distance from one end
to the other is about twenty-five

EFFORT TO ORGANIZE
COUNTY TOMATO CLUB

Oakland, Miss, March 31st. 1916
To the Scnool Patrons Of Yalobusha
County,
We wish to state that the Ag-
ricultural High School has arranged to
place Miss Laura Crowell, our Home
Scients Teacher in the Tomato Club
work. Miss Crowell will begin an
active campaign Immediately after
the close of our school. She Is now
ready to arrange dates with school
communities. She will also be glad
to receive names Of all girls in this
county who wish to take up thi work
during the Summer under her super
vision.
Yalobusha County once stood at
the head of the list Of those counties
engaged in Corn Club Work. We
now feel that the time is ripe for q
reorganization of the industrial fea
lures of our schools. We feel that
any school is failure il it does not
teach something practical to every
child in the school. We therefore
appeal to every teacher in the county
to assist US in this work with the
purpose in view of establishing Baby
Beef Clubs, Crimson Clover Clubs.
Pig Clubs, Corn Clubs, Tomato Clubs.
and Sewing Circles in connection
with every rural school in Yalobushs
County. Let US hear from you.
Pledged to the improvement of the
rural school conditions of Yalobushs
County. we ale now ready to work
with you.

The Turkish out in the Caucasus
placed so many thousands of prisoners
in the hands of the Russians that it
was difficult to handle them success
fully. But an officer devised a simple
plan. The Russians deprived the
prisoners of all suspenders, belts and
trousers buttons before starting their
long march northward. Though
guarded by but q few men. the
Turks had little chance to escape.
All their attention was centered on
preventing the loss of the most in
dispensable part of their attire.
