King George Living
The Simple Life
ANNOTATED Press,

LONDON March almost half OF
the domestic staff OF Buckingham Pal
ace has been released for duty at the
front and the life OF the royal family
brought downsto a simplicity In keep:
ing withftimes OF war. The King still
allows n 8 wine at the table and the
meals served are plain and simple
as an example in self.denlal toithepeo
pie. Queen Mary on her part, takes
great care to prevent waste. One OF
the court institutions she has reduc-
ed In cost is the royal orchestra. The
Queen also insists on strict economy
in the management OF the wartime
charities over which she presides. Too
toften, In peace time, these charities are
really extrayagant, fashionable fetes
in the name OF charity. But they are
now run on a simple and business-like
plan. Other members Of the royal fam
lily follow the example OF the heads
Of their house. Princess Christian, for
example, has no longer a grandiose
turnkey at her door, but a parlor maid
in a dark blue uniform,

War May Develop
New Paper Industry

nouncements that Sweden has prohib-
tied the export of paper pulp have
revived interest in the manufacture
OF pulp from bamboo, which can be
had in unlimited quantities in Tonk-
ing and other sections Of the Far East
tributary to Hongkong. Five years ago
a company was organized to develop
the paper industry, and a large tract
of land was acquired by company,
whose stock holders were originally
Hongkong men. The company was q
failure, however, and went into liqu1'
cation.
Several companies are now organs

DISTRICT
road MOVEMENT
Mass Meeting tosBe Held at
WortElington Monday
Afternoon.

The Lincoln district roads commit.
tee announced today that another
meeting of the committee and the tax
payers will be held next Monday IN
the Worthingtcn school house at 1.30
o'clock. Posters calling the meeting
were distributed throughout theSontire
district and the enthusiasm over the
proposed bond issue is SO great that
the. success of the project seems as
sured.
The purpose Of the meeting at
Worthington is to prepare the petition
for an election which will be sub
mitted to the county court. The plans
and specifications for the proposed i'm
proving oftthe roads in the district are
practically completed. These at pres
emit call for the improving of26 miles
of road in the district, which will all
likely be concrete oftyarious widths.
The estimated cost Is. $4,000.
All that remains to be done is TO
secure the necessary stgners to the
petition which only requires so names.
Thirty days notice must be given by
the county court before the election
is heidi
The prevailing sentiment in Lincoln
district, now that the road issue has
boon brought up to where definite &C.
ton must be taken, is to put the bond
issue through by an Overwhelming ma
tority and start the work of construc.
ton as soon as the weather will per-
NIT. The tax payers Of the district
seem to resent the imputation that
this district will be the last in the
county to build roads, so the leaders in
the movement attend to leave nothing
undone to make their district the third
or fourth to complete the new roads.
Warrington district was the hrststo
vote a bond issue for roads and Fair
mont district the next in the move
ment,

Concert Tuesday Evening

The music loving public of
Tupelo was delighted Tuesday
evening with a concert program
which included a fine list of num-
bers by Mr.. Walter Davis, of Ell
Paso, Texas, and Miss Virginia
Mitchell, of Tupelo, with Mrs.
j. r. Anderson as accompanist.
Mr.. Davis has a remarkably
pleasant tenor voice, and al
though quite a young man his
voice has attained a high stage
Of cultivation and wide volume.
His songs are rendered in a
spirited manner, appeal strongly
to his audiences. An operate
air as given in purest Italian
The Tupelo journal., 1916-08-18

which the tenor sings like a
native. His concert selections
covered a wide range and afford
ed an opportunity to judge of
the scope and powers of his
voice.
Mr.. Davis was born in Baldwin,
M'Ss.. and with the family NOV
ed to Texas. When quite a youth
he displayed a remarkable mus
ical talent and he was given an
opportunity to develop it. He
first studied in Ell Paso, and
afterwards in Memphis and New
York. In the latter city he was
under the best masters and sang
regularly in the choir of Calvary
church. He has sung for the
Edison Company and his first
tests were satisfactory to the
company. He is now en- route to
New York for the final test with
that com oany. He has concert
engagements in Corinth, Miss,
Fl. Worth and Dallas, Texas.
Mr.. Davis, is a nephew of the
Misses Stephenson and with his
mother has been their guests
during the past week.
The selections by Miss Mitchell
fully sustained her well. earned
reputation and delighted the
large and critical audience. Mrs.
Anderson displayed her thorough
command of technique in her ac-
compartments of the soloists.
The Tupelo journal., 1916-08-18

In Mr.. Hughes speech at Spo-
kane, Washington, he said: The
only chance that the present adj
m~inisteation has to carry this
election is because the European
war has saved it from a demon
stration of its inefficiency." Il
wonder if they think the demo
cratic party and the European
war are synonymous" No can
didate for the presidency has
ever ventured such silly twaddle
before an intelligent audience.
By what stretch CT the magma
ton can Judge Hughes draw a
synonym so entirely foreign and
inapplicable? If the judge does
not improve in his English he
will soon be classed with the
stump speakers who are found in
county districts making a fight
for some minor Office.

Tick Eradication Discussed

The eradication of the Texas
fever tick in Lee county has pro-
crossed beyond all expectations,
when taking in consideration the
misunderstanding of the work;
lateness of getting watts con-
structed and under operation;
the unfamiliarity with the work
of both the county inspectors and
the puolic at large.
My records show 5000 herds
with Is, 900 cattle dipped in July.
Out of these there are only 278
herds quarantined, and Of these
278 herds only Sc herds showed
ticks during the month. Those
that showed ticks were herd that
showed up lately and hadn't had
a sufficient number Of dippin2s
to kill all the young ticks in tie
pastures.
II we can continue to get less
and less investation of herds the
county may be subject to release
from quarantine. 1t is, however,
necessary to first dip all herds
not vet dipped before we can ar
rive at the exact status of the
county. There have been over.
1000 herds dipped that never
showed ticks, 50 if the few own
ers that haven't dipped will sac
rifice as these owners have done.
they will do the county a valua-
bic service.a
All free herds will not have to-

whether the county is released
