T. M. l. Opens

The annual session of the Tu-
,pelo Military Institute opened
Tuesday morning under most fa-
vorable auspices. The number
of pupils enrolled was the great
est in the history Of the school
and the prospects for the session
are the brightest that the school
has known.
DR. Chapman called the school
to order promptly 1880 o'clock.
when Rev. O. w. Bradley was
introduced. Mr.. Bradley read
from the Scriptures and selected
for the basis of his remarks the
word. Study" from which he
drew number of valuable les
sons for the young men by coun-
selling them that the object OF
their presence as pupils was to
study and prepare themselves
for the duties of life.
Rev. Cloar, of the Baptist
church, was present and invoked
divine blessings upon the labors
of the session and upon the lives
of the faculty and the student
body.
DR.. Chapman then made a
short talk to the boys, in which
he set out some of the require
ments that would be exacted of
each member of the school. He
impressed upon them the fact
that they were there for work
and that nothing short of COM
pleting each day the tasks of
that day would be accepted by
him from the pupils.
DR.. Chapman here introduced
the other members of the facul-
ty, Major Jacobs. of Maryland,
Capt. R. C. Glenn, of North Car
DINA, and Herman Trapp.
The community is to be con-
graduated that we have train
ing school for boys in our midst.
The necessity of leaving home is
thus averted and the item of ex-
pense is one which is no small
part of the consideration in hav-
ing such school here.
Against odds, Dr.. Chapman
has made splendid fight to give
"upelo a good boys school and
he has succeeded. The commu-
nifty is proud of the school and
he has the backing of the people
in his labors to make of Tupelo,
in the fullest sense of the word,
a school town. His school this
year is the largest he has ever
had and as the years come and
go we feel sure that the school
will become more and more a
recognized part of the attrac-
tions of the town as a place to
build home and educate your
boys.

Booster Trip Postponed

Due to the fact that Tuesday,
Sept. 5, was election day, the
boosters trip has been postponed
until Tuesday, Sept. IL.
1t is expected that on the date
set for boosting the Lee County
Fair there will go out of Tupelo
at least 40 men as occupants of
the II cars scheduled to make
the trip whose chief aim will be
to say something, or do some
thing that will stir up a lively
interest in the fair to be held
here Oct. 1913 inclusive.
These cars will be occupied by
some of Tupelo's best business
and professional men whose in
terests are not merely to see Tu-
pelo have a fair, but who desire
to do something that will pro-
mote the general welfare of Lee
and adjoining counties. and rem
der this section of our state a
recognized power in supplying
both food and raiment for our
selves and some of our neighbors.
There is so much of good that
can come from holding a fair.
1t brings US together once a year
where we can make comparison
of what we have produced and
discuss the best methods of get
ting results along whatever line
we want improvement. and just
as sure as you come to the fair
and find that somebody has pro
duced a better calf, pig, chicken,
collective farm exhibit, yield per
acre, or has won out ahead of
you on any one thing, you know
the result: You are going back
home enthused over what you
have done and inspired by what
the other fellow has accomplish
ed and with the determination
that you will win at the next
fair against any odds, because
you have learned how by attend
ing your fair and allowing your
self to be a part of the fair.
If everybody could realize the
constructive force of an agricul-
tural and live stock fair then ev-
cry man, woman and child in the
county would be a booster. So
don forget the date. meet the
boosters and catch the spirit and
help make the fair a success.

 "Whatever may have been true at the beginning of the war. i believe 1t is no longer true that British priscn- CTS are treated worse than those Of other nationalities, and this relative decency is due almost entirely Co the exertions of the American embassy.

Why German Progress Is Slow.

BERLIN. oct. 3i. tvia London)-The comparatively slow progress of the Austro- German forces since capturing the passes south of Kronstadt. in Pennsylvania is explained by the Tage hlatt's correspondent at that front as due to the fact that the Rumanians occupy strongly fortified positions in the mountains, every peak of which during the past two years has bCcn converted into fortress with batter ies built in at every available spot Good highways have also been con structed between the different peaks, enabling the Rumanians to reinforce quickly threatened points
 owing to this situation, says the correspondent. the invading forces have found 1t necessary to execute wide flanking movements over diff cult mountains Nevertheless, they are making steady. though slow progress.

Now we all know that the students failure to solve the problems of arithmetic are due to his incomplete or defective knowledge and application of the principles of math- ematlcs. But did you ever consider that so many of us fail to solve the problems of every day life because of onr incomplete Or defective knowledge of the infinite Principle of existence, God7
 Christian Science is giving to man an understanding of God as the in- finite Principle of all that really ex , ists, the Principle which, in the words of our textbook. is Underlying. over lying. aud encompassing all true be- ing (Science and Health.

 How is It. then" you may ask. If God is the underlying Principle of all that really exists and this Principle bestows on man only that which is good, how is 1t that we see SO much of sickness and sorrow and sin in the world? The two conditions do not seem to fit What is wrong?" The reason is simple enough. Men have not applied this Principle in their endeayor3 to work out life's prob lems. They have not learned enough about 1t or cared enough for it or be-
