Which DoYou Prefer?

1t is important for reasons of health and
practical economy for every housekeeper
to ask herself this question:
do / prefer a pure baking powder like
Royal, made Of cream of tartar derived from
grapes, or am / willing to use a baking
powder made of alum Or phosphate, both
derived from mineral sources?"
The names of the ingredients printed
or the label show whether the kind you
are now using or any brand, new or old,
that may be offered is a genuine cream
of tartar powder, or merely a phosphate
or alum compound.
Royal Baking Powder contains 10 alum
nor phosphate.

Experience is indeed often a dear
teacher, sometimes very dear, and a
hint to the wise is sufficient, no
doubt, ofttimes, yet we all learn by ex-
perience. The worst phase of 1t is
that some of us do not learn any
thing by any experience; there is a
great class that learn some things
by some experiences. Happily a few
learn something from every expert
ence, and, too, remember the lessons.

Get Your "Bait"

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found the game law passed at
the recaas sitting Of the legisla-
ture. The purpose of this law is
to protect what is left of game
in the state. The department
will have game wardens in every
county and, in fact, in every SUI
pervisor's district, as soon as the
machinery can be put in opera
ton.
There seems to be a very gen.
eral misunderstanding of the
scope of the law. There is no
license to fish. The law relating
to fishing was not altered in the
least, but is regulated by the
code chapter and acts subsequent
thereto. The law passed by the
present legislature does not alter
our fish laws, so get your bait
and try your luck.

Good Roads Boosters

Baldwin was out en- masse
Wednesday on a inspection trip
of the good roads in this section
of the county. About noon a
delegation of about two hundred
in automobiles reached Tupelo
with banners flying and good
roads badges worn by the enthu
siaStic delegation who are pro-
noting the good roads movement
in their territory. The crowd
alighted from the cars at the
court house. and quite a number
of speeches were made from the
east steps advocating good roads.
Dinner was had here when the
boosters took their cars and went
to Nettleton, Verona and back to
Sherman before returning home.

The Redpath Chautauqua

The Redpath Chautauqua is
booked for Tupelo from May II
to May 16, and will open up with
one of the most attractive and
entertaining programs listed for
this place.
Two Chautauquas have been
held here and those who are fa-
miliar with the features for this
year feel confident that the best
program vet presented awaits the
large audiences which are assured
for the coming events.
All inland towns must look to
such attractions for their high
class entertainments. Great mu-
sical and theatrical attractions
cannot find it profitable to make
such cities the size of ours and
only through a combination as is
found in the chautauqua circle
system can we expect to have
the best of talent presented to
our people.
The various ladies' clubs of the
city will have charge of the sale
of tickets for the chautauqua.
The proceeds of the funds, we
are informed, are to go to the
public library. Our people are,
therefore, urged to be liberal in
their purchases and thus help
along a home institution that
should appeal to us all.
Tickets will be offered next
week and a thorough canvass
will be made of the town and
everybody will be given an op-
portunity to purchase.

Easter Services

Easter was observed by appro-
pirate services at the Presbyteri-
an and Methodist churches Sun
day. The pastor of the Baptist
church, Mr.. Barksdale, was ab-
sent from the city and his con-
gregation was divided between
those of the other churches.
Rev. Scott. Of the Presbyteri-
an church, took as his subject,
Proof of the Resurrection, /"
and from divine word destroyed
the young peradventurer's every
contention that questioned the
divinity of the Savior and the
teachings of the Scriptures. His
church was beautifully and ar
tistically decorated in the flowers
of the season and presented a
fitting occasion for the sacred
service. At the evening hour a
special song service program was
rendered under the direction of
Miss Topp, the accomplished or
ganist. The selections were in
spring and appropriate and the
large audience was delighted and
highly entertained. Mr.. R. E..
Nell and Mrs. E. M. Topp rem
dered duets and solos which
were beautifully sung.
At the Methodist church beau
tiful and impressive were the
Easter services. Both at the
Sunday school hour and eleven
O'Clock a special program had
been arranged in keeping with
the holy day. The skill of the
decorator was evidenced in the
beautiful array of long stemmed
Easter lilies and ferns, while
birds "shook from their little
throats floods of delicious lnpc

DO you ever notice in our daily
papers where some one has been
run over, and nearly always it
was a child? The driver who did
that was just as confident as you
are that he would not Go it and
that he had his car under perfect
control, although he was break
ing the speed limit. This very
thing will happen in Tupelo if
our ordinance is not respected.
Do you know why the average
man in the country feels as he
does toward some of the drivers?
Just because you will pass him as
though you had a death message
for some distant friend and only
had a few minutes in which to
notify him. Some of these good
days you will try to pass a wagon
or another machine at a IS or 40
mile clip, and your steering gear
will get in trouble. or something
will happen, and then there will
be singing and flowers for some
one.
This may occur to some of you
as being ridiculous, but to others
it will be reasonable. This arti-
Gle is not for the reasonable and
sensible driver, but is for those
who persist in breaking our speed
laws, who is usually some half
grown boy or girl, or a man who
wears about a No. 6a hat, which
is then too large. Such of these
will, | expect, pass the writer's
home at 40-mile rate and grin
like a horse eating briars, pro-
vided Uncle Bob" is out Of the
way, and in order to ''get back"
at him for this article.

All Day Club Rally

the county and the boys and
girls and their parents was held
and before the day was over
there was an old-fashioned love
feast in which all joined. The
day had been set aside by the
county superintendent, Mr.. Mi.
lam, and the county agent. Mr..
Ruff, and the bankers of the
county to bring the children to-
gether in a program that would
bring about thorough and COM
plete understanding in the work
which has been started to ad-
vance the material interest of
the county through the children.
First. the bankers organized
themselves into an association
for the purpose of reaching the
people along agricultural lines.
They decided to back up the Corn
Club boys, the Baby Beef Club
members, the Pig Club members
and the members of the Poultry
Club.
Their proposition was made to
members of these clubs to lend
each member the money without
security to buy pigs, calves and
poultry. Wednesday had been
set apart as the day for the chill
dren to meet here and name
which club they had entered and
select their pigs, calves and
poultry.
The early morning found the
streets of the city filled with
eager and ambitious boys and
girls with determination and ex-
Dectancy written on their bright
faces. Every section of the
county was well represented and
at the appointed hour of meeting,
1890, the court room was filled
with Lee county's greatest assets.
The U. S. government was rep
resented by it's general agent,
Mr.. Wilson, who took a deep in
terest in the events of the day.
The government was also repre-
sented by Field Agent Saveley,
and District Agent Willis, of the
agricultural department; the A.
& M. College by Prof. Calhoun
superintendent of rural schools,
Prof. Clayton Of the poultry de-
partment, Prof. Cobb of the corn
club department. Prof. Saunders
)of the pig club department, and
Miss Tunison of the woman's de-
apartment of extension work.
The county by County Agent
Ruff, and Miss Lena Bolt of the
canning club department.
Prof. Milan called the meeting
to order and in a few words
stated it's object. He introduced
Prof. Cobb who addressed the
members of the corn club on
matters of vital interest to them.
He impressed upon them the
necessity of beginning their
work right by the selection Of
the best seed, the preparation of
the soil and the use of fertilizers
and also outlined the most ac-
cepted theory of the cultivation
of corn. He warned them against
the cultivation of any acre of
ground that did not pay them
and stressed the fact that corn
can be grown very cheaply if the
proper methods of cultivation are
employed.
ii Following Mr.. Cobb. Chancel-
,sor Robins introduced Miss Tuni-
son, who made comprehensive
talk on the question of poultry
raising, setting out its possibili-
ties from the standpoint of profits
and explained the great value of
cooperative marketing to insure
the best Irices obtainable. She
cited numerous incidents where
