Too often it is the case that the
young men spend the days Of
their youth in idleness. When
they should be preparing them
selves for the sterner things
that will confront them in their
future lives, they are negligently
wasting the youth and vigor OF
t h cir being in immaterial
pleasures.
The State of Mississippi owes
a debt to young SmileyiShipman.

The Red Men of North America, in.

A Boy Worth While

LeFore County has produced
one of the most remarkable boys
in Mississippi, if not in the en-
tire South.
His name is Smiley Shipman
and he lives at Itta Bena.
When he attended High school,
young Shipman was a devoted
student. and at the same time he
acquired the habit of looking
out for himself. When he was
mere lad, he became possessed
of an ambition to acquire an ed
ucation. He attended the high
school in his town, and his spare
time he devoted to small jobs
which he picked up about town
and which would have been
spurned by the average youngs-
ter.
But Smiley worked hard men,
tally and physical-and when he
was fourteen years of age, he
graduated from the high school
and entered "Swaney" Webb's
school at Bell Buckle, Tenn.
His father did not furnish the
money to pay his expenses at
Webb's school, because it was
unnecessary. Smiley had saved
enough money which he earned
with his own hands to pay his
way through that institution.
After spending three years in
the Webb school, Smiley entered
College, at Jackson,
where he has been three years.
Again did his practice of econo-
my and thrift make possible his
entrance to one of the leading
Institutions of learning without !
the aid of relatives or friends.
Not only has young Shipman
made his own way, but he has
assisted in keeping two younger
brothers in college.
This shows what a boy can do
f he really wants an education. |
It cost young Shipman a great
1eal to turn a deaf ear to the al
uring demands of society, but
ne was willing to pay the price,
and today, when he has almost
attained his majority he goes
iorth in the world, equipped to
light his own battles and to as
list others.
This kind of boy is worth

How to Screen
(By DR.. w. S. LEATHERs. J

Much of The screening that is
done is ineffective. An idea
prevails among many people that
screening of doors and windows
of a residence gives all necessary
protection so far as this particu-
lar measure is concerned, against
flies and mosquitoes. The door
is screened often with a crack at
the bottom which admits flies
and mosquitoes freely, or in time
it becomes punctured with holes,
through which they gain access
to the home. In a sense, this
kind of screening causes the in
mates of the home to live with a
feeling of false security. In
other words, whenever screen
ing is done in careless manner,
whether it be home or a res
taurant or a hotel, it permits
flies and mosquitoes to enter,
and when these disease carrying
insects once gain admittance,
this kind of screening prevents
them from escaping from the
house; in other words, it serves
as a trap" instead of a protec-
ton.
Screening to be effective
should be done with care; no
cracks should be left around the
screen door or window, even the
smallest opening will be found
by a blood-sucking mosqueto, or
filth carrying fly. The wire
cause should have sixteen to
eighteen meshes to the square
inch. Even a fourteen mesh
wire cause will allow small mos
quitoes to enter, unless it is
painted; the twelve inch wire
cause should never be used.
This serves 20 protect against
flies, but not mosquitoes.
During the summer months it
is desirable to have a portion of
the porch screened, as it is usu-
ally the custom for all people to
to sit on the porch in the even
ing during the summer months
AS malaria is spread by a GER
tain kind of mosquito which US
ually bits only at night, it is
necessary to use special precau-
tions between dusk and sunrise.
Every home should be protected
against flies and mosquitoes by
effective screeneng. When peo-
pie live without such protection,
it is shown that they spend more
in doctors bills in one
year because of this, than screen
ing costs.
Likewise all restaurants, no.
Lers and meat markets should be |
carefully, in order to
protect food against the disease
spreading house fly.

Farmers Excursions to A, & M.
College

lLOuodIluo VI la illCio . lIvhl al
parts of Mississippi are expected
to visit the Mississippi A. & M.
College during the months OF
July and August to study better
farming methods. This will be
made possible by a series Of spe-
cial farmers excursion trains
which will be run to the college
from every part of the state for
the benefit of farmers and bust
ness men who want to develop
a better system of agriculture.
Beginning July 10Th, when the
first of these trains will be run
from Corinth and intermediate
points, these excursions of farm
ers will be made to the college
at intervals of a few days, until
the latter part of August. This
announcement has just been
given out by Director E. R.
Lloyd, of the extension work in
Mississippi, who has just com
pleted the final arrangements.
These farmers excursions are
an entirely new idea in the agri-
cultural development Of the
state and excellent results are
expected from the visits of the
farmers to their college and eX-
pertinent station, where they will
see the better farming methods
in practice. AS explained by
Director Lloyd, the excursions
will take the place of the annual
Farmers round up" heretofore
held in August. Plans have al
ready been completed to run four
trains and Director Lloyd hopes
to arrange for two additional
trains making six in all.
In order that the greatest
number of farmers can take ad-
vantage of these visits, the col
lege is securing especially low
rates on all railroads and will
provide Accommodations for all
visitors at autual cost of service.
Board and lodging will be not
more than one dollar for each
day. Each trainload of farmers
will stay two days at the college
duringSs which time full pro-
gram of instruction and enter
tainment will be put on.
During the day special live
stock exhibitions will be staged
and excursions made to points of
interest about the college farm
and barns. Demonstrations in
terracing, pruning and spraying.
innoculating hogs against chol-
era, and in other phases of i'm
proved farming will be given for
for the benefit of the visitors.
The evening sessions will be be-
devoted to instructive lectures
and speeches from the most
prominent agricultural workers
n the state.
The first train, to be run
through northeast Mississippi, |
will bring farmers Alcorn, Prem
iss, Lee, Chickasaw, Monroe,
Clay, Tishomingo, and Ittawam-
"a counties. This train will
tart from Corinth and reach
he college on July 10Th. A rate
# $3.50 from Corinth, $1.50
rom Tupelo and graded rates
rom intermediate points have
'een secured by Director Lloyd
or this train.
