OF A

The latest reports from Wash
ington indicate that President
Wilson has about brought both
Germany and Great Britain
around to his way of thinking
and very soon we will have the
freedom of the seas recognized
by all the belligerents. Mr..
Wilson has been unmoved by the
clamor of that element that
would like to see this country in
volved in war, but has employed
his superb diplomacy to bring
about the desired results.
Through the stand he has Ia
ken Germany will be made to
recognize the justice of his de-
mand in the cases of life and
property loss by Americans and
apologies will be Forthcoming.
Great Britain will also relax the
rigid order of her Council and
both this country and all of the
belligerents will enjoy the free
dom of the seas, where the ar
ticles of commerce have not been
placed on the contraband list.

Representative Green, of Kinds
county, will introduce a bill in
the house of the next legislature
for the purpose of doing away
with public hangings. Recent
events in the state have brought
about wide discussion of this
subject and a concensus of opin-
ion is that legal hanging should
be conducted privately. The
morbid curiosity that carries
people to such gruesome spec
tacles should not be INDUCED.

Opening Of School

meet at the school building
Thursday. Sept. 8. 8 a. M, for
the purpose of organizing. giving
out book lists, assigning lessons,
and holding examinations for
promotions. All pupils are ex-
pected to be present in order to
get ready for regular work the
following Monday. The first
bell will ring Monday at s q. M,
and the second bell at 500 a. m.
Regular recitation work will be-
gin Monday and pupils who are
not ready with their books and
recitations will be graded off for
the time they miss. The organ
ization Thursday is for the pur-
pose of getting off all prelimin-
airy work so recitations may be-
gin at once. The regular open
ing will be held Monday morn
ing and all the patrons of the
school are invited to be present.
The school will open under
most favorable conditions. The
Departments of Home Science
and Business have been added
and will have first class equip
ment. We hope these depart
ments will have the full support
of all of the people. There may
be some disappointed in that they
cannot take work in these de-
partments without being a regu-
lar pupil in the public schools.
These departments are a part of
the regular course of study as
much so as arithmetic, and will
be handled in the same way.
The usefulness of the curriculum
has been broadened. The high
schools of the land have the
great problems of the masses to
solve and it is here that the point
of contact needs to be strength
ened. AS fast as the standard of
the individual of the masses is
raised just so fast will the gen
eral standard be raised. The
ideal school system can be had
only where the school and the
home work together. In order
to get the best results in school
there must be some definite I'm
derstanding between the home
and school. The average home
needs to give more time and at.
tention to the training of their
boys and girls. Stay at home at
night and see that lessons are
studied, especially with pupils
above the fifth grade. We would
be pleased if every patron of the
school would realize the necessity
of having something for the
children to do about the home:
If children are not taught to be
industrious before they are men
and women the chances are they
never will be. If children were
given something to do, school
work would be more inviting.
We hope that every citizen of
Tupelo will, some time during
the session, visit the public
schools. The people have gone
to quite an expense in order to
provide better educational ad-
vantages and your presence and
support will insure better results.
The course of study is so arrang-
ed that each pupil will be sble to
get what he wants.
Our graduates are admitted to
the best colleges and universities
in the south without an eXamina.
ton. This is a good thing in
itself, but the best of all is the
fact that the work is of a more
practical nature and will help the
pupils to become more useful
and intelligent citizens.
Let us. all join hands and make
this the best school year in the
history Of the town.

a Queens Sympathy.

A kindly little act that shows some
hing of the quick wit and ready SYM
patty Of Queen Helena of Italy is re-
corded by Touche Tout. Some years
ago the coral fishers of Tore del
Greco, near Naples, were in hard
straits. The value Of coral had fallen
so low that they were no longer able
to find purchasers for their harvest.
At last in their despair they besought
the queen to come to their aid.
At the first great court ball that was
held that year at the Quirinal, the
queen, to the surprise Of all beholders.

of six rows of coral instead of her
superb collar of pearls, and her black
hair was crowned with diadem Of
coral and brilliants. From that eve
ming the mode changed. Old coral or
naments that had been hidden away
for years and years were again dis
played at the jewelers.. and were
snapped up by eager purchasers.
Queen Helena's object was attained,
and that court ball marked the begin
ming Of more prosperous days for the
coral fishers of Tore del Greco.

B. MALLORY DIES SUDDENLY
Well Known Attorney and Public Ad
ninistrator Succumbs to Urae-
mic Poisoning, Aged 81.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. B, Mallory, at
torney and county public administra-
tor, for the past ten years, died sud
denly at his summer home at Egg
Harbor, Wis, of uraemic poisoning,
aged 81.
Mr.. Mallory was apparently in
good health when he left for his sum-
mer home, and his death was unex-
pected. He caught a slight cold,
but nothing was thought of it.
Mr.. Mallory was born in Milwau-
kee in 1861, and was the only son
OF Judge J. A. Mallory, who was the
first Municipal judge in Milwaukee.
The latter served in that capacity for
thirty-tive years, dying in 1890. Mr.
Mallory attended the public schools
and the old Milwaukee academy, lat
er graduating from the law depart
ment of the University of Wisconsin.
He had large practice besides his
duties as administrator. His services
were much sought by corporations.
He was president of the Bar associa-
ton in 1913, at the time the Ameri-
can Bar association held its conven-
ton in Milwaukee. AS chairman of
the local committee he made the ad-
dress of welcome on behalf OF the
Wisconsin association.

DEPUTY MAY Be DISCHARGED
Appeals for Decision and
Wins Point.

Madison-That the relations be-
tween the sheriff and his deputies Is a
contractural one and not official; that
the sheriff may prescribe rules and
regulations by which his deputies shall
be governed; that under the laws of
Wisconsin there Is no recognition of
such official as a deputy sheriff, are
important points revealed in an
opinion by Atty.-Gen. Owen to Dist
Atty. James Kirwan of Calumet coun-
ty.
In Calumet county the county judge
turns all commitments in insanity
cases over to the deputy sheriff, and as
the sheriff in that county receives no
salary, depending wholly upon the fees
of the office, the superior officer finds
cause for complaint.
The point of the attorney generals
opinion is that If the sheriffs relations
with his official family are not congeni-
al he is at liberty to fire" his deputies
and make other arrangements.

GREATEST OF SPORTS
GOOD REASONS FOR THE POPU.
LARiTY OF BASEBALL.
Men Love II for the Opportunities Il
Gives Thorn to Disport In the
LimeIight, and Young Women
Just Dote on II.

Baseball Is the most dangerous
game known to history, When it
comes to mortality lists, baseball
leaves football lap behind in a six.
furlong race on mile track. Stats
ticians have figured it out that it is
439 times as des. ~uctive to human life
as a Mexican revolution. and almost
as deadly as Mexican chill. Annual
ly it kills off so many aunts, uncles
and grandparents that thinking peo-
pie wonder how the undertakers can
stand the steady work. For example.
in the course of one thrilling pennant
race, our office boy lost seven grand
mothers.
For all that, we love baseball Even
In spite of the grand-stand humorist,
we love it. 1t is our national game.
We feel that, since this country was
to- give us baseball, our Revolutionary
sires did not bleed and die in vain.
Men have much reason to love base
ball. 1t gives them the chance to adj
mire skill, speed, strength, nerve,
courage and determination. and to
learn the latest slang and most pep
full repartee. 1t gives them the
chance to boldly abuse and insult
other men without fear of conse-
quences and to exhibit their wit be-
fore large crowds. 1t gives them the
chance to set up real heroes and bow
down to them. Statesmen are cor
rupt. generals fight from their tents,
literary lions are pale, weak bodies.
But baseball heroes are real heroes.
And Observation-Disclosures gives men the
opportunity to be as loud and silly
and joyously unrepressed as they
want to be. without being laughed at.
Young women like baseball, too, and
some of them understand 1t remark
ably well. Some of them are said to
Lnow the difference between the
pitcher and the umpire. There is a
legend that once there was a young
woman who could watch whole
game without asking: What are
they doing now" and tell which side
won at the end But that is believed
to have been written by Grimm.
Young women do not care so much
for baseball If they have to buy their
own tickets. But If you suggest TAX
ing one, she just dotes on the game.
A woman always gets some enjoy
ment out of seeing her escort spend
money for her, no matter what 1t Is
for.
1t is not always wise to take a
young woman to the ball game, no
matter how she dotes on it. She may
not notice the difference when they
stop batting up flies and begin the
game She may think the pitcher
and catcher are playing against each
other, and complain because one Of
them does not quit and give that cute
fellow with such a jaunty air a turn.
She may mistake the catcher5 breast
protector for a porous plaster. But
she will notice, with an ever-growing
admiration. the grace, sureness and
swiftness of the well-conditioned men
on the field. After which she Is like
ly to size you up and decide you
won't do.
A lot of fine points about health,
happiness and success might be
gained from baseball-if most of us
weren't so good at muffing them

Old School Genius.

Robert w. Chambers. the novelist,

They call him a genius now" said
Mr.. Chambers, yet he produced very
little. There's an anecdote that tells
the reason why.
He was arrested one night and the
magistrate asked him what his bust
ness was.

lily, call me a genius, your honor

Hint to Golfers.

II there is one part of the game
more than another that is likely to
try the golfers patience to the utmost
It is putting. When we consider that
half of the game of golf is on the
putting green, is not this good rea-
son why we should be proficient at it?
But how are we to overcome this
weakness on the green's?
The only real sound theory that Is
known for putting is to swing your
putter on dead straight line through
the ball toward the hole. You can
practice this method by putting the
end of the putter head close up to a
wall and practice swinging your put
ter back and forth; pendulum move
ment is best. keeping the end of the
putter close to the wall. Try 1t and
see IL 1t does not help your holing out.
Outing.
