Which Is Now In Session
In New York
City

AfSiy 'CAlu . i'ldSIdDCC III tl!S
United States and Canada is in.
terested in the great Convention
which is being held in New York
City at the Waldorf-Astoria. This
Convention is held in the interests
of the first Woman's Association of
the country, with local branches
throughout the United States and
Canada. This District is repre-
sented by Miss Maxine E. Bieces-
heimer, Of Birmingham, Alabama
as delegate and Mrs. Jennie Skinner
of New Orleans, Louisiana as alter
nate.
At this Convention the election
of Supreme Officers will take place
and many important measures will
be presented. Such a fine record
has been made for the past term,
extending from 1911-1914 inclusive.
that every State Convention has
endorsed the plans and administra-
ton Miss Bina NJ. West, the found
er of the association, has an excel
lent report to present. The net gain
from May /, 1909 to May /, 1915,
has amounted to over 100000 bene-
fit members, which indicates the
prosperous condition of the Associa-
ton, and the net gain for 1915 to
date is 5000 benefit members.
During the last four years, the
interest earnings on bond invest
mentS amounted to S1,058,275.75,
and the assets on hand to protect
contracts reached nearly eight and
A half million dollars. Over twelve
million dollars was paid out in death |
and disability benefits, every draft |
or which was personally signed by !
Miss West. This Order is not con-
lected in any way with The Ladies

Local officers and members are
'lated over the progress of their
work. and when their representa-
ives return. full report will be
'lVen by them OF the features of
his progressive meeting. The sue
'ess which this Society has attained
S attributed to the harmony and
cooperation existing in the indivi-
lual organizations of which there
ire nearly 5000 Educational cam.
'aiens are being constantly carried
N whereby each worker may be.
ONE efficient and through this ef-
lclency each department will be
nabled to work to the best advan-.
age for the Association. This
romises to be the most important
convention ever recorded in the
redltable history Of this Associa-
ion, and is the beginning of a still
reater benefit Order for women in

The Enterprise succeeded in gettiny

nort that the County Commissioners
recently in session at Poplarville
stated that they we're willing to
appropriate their part of the ex-
pense, providing Washington Parish
would pay their half. The Associa'
tiou Of Commerce is already busy
On the work and committee has
been appointed to see what can be
accomplished. Mayor Sullivan, a
member of this committee, has
received the following opinion re-
>eardins the voting of special tax
which was prepared by Attorney
Miller.
As stated in my letter of the 10th,
believe that the special tax can
be voted by the Fourth Ward of
Washington Parish for the purpose
Of Incorporating with Pearl River Co.,
Miss. in building a bridge across
Pearl River.
Act 232 OF the Constitution pro-
yides that, for certain public pur-
poses, among them the erection and
construction of bridges and other
works Of permanent public i'm
provement, the title to which shall
be in the public, and parish, munich,
pal corporation, ward, or school
district, may levy a special tax in
excess of the constitutional limita-
ton Of ten mills, whenever the rate
Of such increase, and the number
Of years it is to be levied, and the
purpose for which the tax is intend
ed, shall have been submitted to a
vote Of the property taxpayers of
such parish, municipality, ward, or
school district, etc.
Act 256 of 1910, as amended by
Act 2lS of 1912, provides that the
Police Jury, acting for a ward, shall
have authority to call such special
election upon the petition in writing !
Of one.fourth of the property tax
payers eligible to vote in such cleo
ton, for the purpose of voting on
the proposed tax, said tax not to |
be funded into bonds
There are provisions of law for
funding into bonds the proceeds of
taxes levied for the same purpose
and other purposes under Article
I0l Of the Constitution by munich
pal corporations, parishes. school,
drainage, road, navigation and
sewerage districts, but this does not
apply to Wards of a parish.
AS stated, | think there is no
uuot that the Fourth Ward can
vote a tax for the purpose indicated,
out am doubtful if bonds can be
Issued y. for that purpose.
Inc distinction seems to be that
aAuef Article 232, of the Constitu-
u0n' special taxes may be voted to
guy amount, but bonds may not be
~ therefor; while, under Article
0l Of the Constitution. the tax l

CORNSTARCH
The Food Product With Thousand
Uses.

There is probably no food product
lin general use today which serves
more purposes in the hands Of the
Iup-to-date housekeeper than corn
starch.
She uses it for thickening her gra-
vies and sauces-which is the secret
of their rich, creamy consistency, and
the smoothness of taste that can be
acquired in no other way. She uses it
to obtain the fine texture of her
bread, biscuits and cakes; for making
per pie crust perfect and flaky; for
shel'bets, ice cream, custards, short
cakes, waffles, chocolate eclairs and a
thousand and one other things too nu-
merous to mention.
But there is a great difference in
and the whole effect de-
sired may be lost by using\ inferior
kinds No less an authority than En-
ma Churchman Hewitt, for many years
associate editor of the Ladies' Home
Journal and other national magazines,
says:
II found that the experience Of up
to-date housekeepers. everywhere was
the same as mine-those who had the
greatest success with cornstarch reci-
pes depended upon Kingsford's."
This brand is carried by all good
grocers everywhere and costs no more
than inferior kinds. If you want to
obtain the best results insist on Kings
lords. Try it once and you will use
t always.

There is no annoyance with which
the housewife has to contend more

rejoice to learn that a remedy has
been Notwithstanding that will
not only exterminate all the ants in

John Owens, formerly a Linton
newspaper man, who is in charge of

ly along the line of those felt by the
writer and we print the same here
with:
We stopped on a street corner a
few days ago and listened to a
spieler harangue a crowd. He was
railing at big business, and made
magnificent ass Of himself. His in
sistent demand was for an equal d.
vision of the wealth of the country.
In other words. he would have the
man who has worked anu accumulat-
ed a competence divide his gains
with others who are too lazy to
work. He prefers that the flow Of
gold be always in his direction. and
diverts public attention by ragging
lbig business. His own imperfec-
tions are kept in the back ground.
But big business has made this
country what it is today-the richest
on the globe. The fault OF our sys-
tenn is not with big business. 1t is
in the manner in which big business
is handled and controlled. When
we send men to congress who think
more of country than they do self,
and who have the nerve to enact just
laws for the regulation Of big bus
mess, we will then have progressed
far towards the solution of the prob
lem. And when we elect officers
i.who will enforce those laws, ire
spectiye of person or wealth or
political affiliations, we will have
solved the problem and will cease to
have any cause for complaint re-
garding big business. And we will
send such men to congress and elect
such others to office only when we
begin to do our thinking and free
our noses from the strangle hold OF
the political bosses.

would be far better to live under
the government of the Car of Rus
sia or that of some Hindoo sovereign
than to be bound down to govern
ment by a county manager. Self
government will always have the
usual quota Of evils. But laws will
not improve that condition. The
citizens themselves must do so by
deeper interest in political questions
and public men. So long as Mr..
Average Voter will quietly fold his
hands in self.satisfied manner and
exclaim, 81 don't take any interest
in these political matters. 1t is
nothing to me" so long will the
abuses and misuses of self-Rovern.
ment continue.
The legislature up to date has re.
fused to sanction action looking to-
ward eight-year terms for supreme
court judges, four-year terms fol-
county officials. sessions of the legis
lature every four years, radical re
duction of legislative membership
and entirely new forms of govern
ment. Many of those points have
! merit. Many corrections can b,
I, worked out. But they must b'
worked out gradually.

The number Of innovations and
changes proposed in the present ses-
sion of the North Dakota legislature
are as many and as far-reaching as
the propositions up before former
sessions. However. it appears that
the membership as a whole of the
two legislative bodies is made up
from men of good, sound conserv-
ative judgment. 1t is fast becoming
certain that hobbies and revolution.
ary changes in the form Of govern
ment are not popular with the ma
jority.
1t is a good thing for the state of
North Dakota that this is so. Moth.
ing can work more detriment to a
state than continual and far-reach-
ing changes in the laws governing
the state. For that reason alone
the requirements provided for
changes are strict-very strict. 1t
would be impossible to secure the
sernblance of prosperity if the fun
damentals were unsound. True
enough, from year to year changing
conditions require changes in the
details Of government. But these
things should be carried out grad
ually. For instance: Imagine 8
bill providing for a county manager
the election of the states attorney
and county Judge and the ap
pointment of al! other officials by {
county manager. Wouldn't that bt
a fine form of government. L

suits. For instance, change the po-.
iiticai complexion of the national
administration and watch the effect
on business conditions. 1t matters
not which party is in power. When
the change comes the finances of the
county are kept in leash until the
unknown is determined; the ten
dency of the administration is
known. Prospects can be fairly
well determined. But who can de-
termine the possibilities when the
"other fellows" got the reins OF
power?

TO punish opponents and to secure
their own personal aims, the facts
will be duly and openly presented by
the Record
As to the recent arrival. l. has
no doubt landed here through the
efforts of certain of those politicians
alluded to above. 1t is equally GER
tain that such persons are hoping

icine for them. 1t tips eff their
game. But as to Mr.. Stewart and
his newspaper, that is another mat
ter. He is successful business
man. AS such he must have taken
advantage of every opportunity pre-
senting itself With the assurance
of the hearty cooperation and sup
port of many of those in power here
it is no wonder that he should "take
a chance" And it is his privilege
and his duty to himself to industri-
ously strive to secure the big end
Of the business. If he be success.
full and even the Record be thereby
driven from existence, he, has but
done justice to himself. On the
other hand. the Record will leave nc
stone unturned to protect its bus
mess and the patronage which it en-
joys. And should the new venture
prove Improbable thereby ther,
can be no cause for resentment OF
the part of it's owner.
| In the matter Of public printing
the Record is fighting and will figh
to the last ditch to secure the right
provided by the laws of the state.
These remarks are written with tn
idea that the Record, as the existin,
publication. is in duty bound to def
