Practice Cottages in Home Economics
+ Teaching.


Housekeeping cottages. in which the
students obtain actual practice in
household work, are a prominent feat
ure of current progress In home
economies, according to report issued
by the department. of interior thru the
bureau Of education.
The practice house is as distinctly
a legitimate part Of the equipment for
teaching home economies as the sew

c!ares the report.
/ Home economies departments in
schools anu colleges are not all i sc es...-

to instruct in home management and

LIBERALS" AS CANDIDATES.
LDes Moines Register.l IND

'IIBERALS" AS CANDIDATES.
IDes Moines Register.1 d..
To the editor: Much is being said
Of late about this or that candidate for
city office being liberal. What, does
this mean? Does it mean easy in the
enforcement of the law? Does 1t mean
that he can see violations of the law
going on and not make any attempt to
correct? What are laws for if they are
not to be enforced? What are officers
for if not to see that all laws are en-.
forced? n. Densmore. p
The Register does not know with
what propriety liberal" is tackled
onto some of the city candidates. but
liberal in city matters may be
taken as generally synonymous with
wide open town.
Just what the difference may be
any reader can determine for him
self If he will only stop to consider
that the laws OF the state have beeen
the same for many years with re-
gard to both gambling and prostitu
ton, We have had very different
endorsements of the law in Des
Moines under different administra-
tons. And the laws are today en-
forced in very different ways in diff
ferent cities of the state.
There is nothing in the law alone
to protect Des Moines against q re-
vival of the worst resorts the city
ever knew. 1t is the manner in which
the law is enforced. it is the spirit
in which public officials come to
the performance of their duties that
will determine.
Of course. there is very little in the
general sentiment of the community
to encourage a lax enforcement of the
law. But men who are not naturally in
favor OF the law can not and Wall not
bring themselves to strict enforce
mert.
1t will cost the various candidates
nothing to tell the people Just what
they propose to do with the laws
against boot!egging. the red light.
and gambling. and a definite state
ment in black and white now will
prevent lot of hacksliding later on.
In any event the voter who wants
TO keep Des Moines clean Will scrutin-
iZe very carefully the claims of any
man who permits himself to be tagged
liberal"

AAPRERAkEDNEsso PARADE.

new WORKERS. presented, last SATURDAY., the
defense OF which the country has any record Re.
tween 5000 md 175.00O citizens particinated IN .
parade which lasted more than twelve hours and
contained no military organization save the National
Guard division OfsNew York city, 10000 strong. In
the long lines we're mustered citizens of eyery class
and calling. I've Hundred clergynen turned ont

characterization OF the parade as the greatest arou-
ment America has ever known in favor Of prepar-
edness" is more rhetorical than logical. There are
much greater and stronger arguments for adequate
nauonai defense. But the parade did demonstrate
beyond Question, we think, that hundreds of thou
sands OF Americans are convinced Of the need Of
preparedness. And that demonstration is needed
most Just now than the arguments, which Congress
knows by heart but has shown a curious reluctance
to accept, says the Times Picayune of the 18th inst.
Paclflsts have-contended that the demand for
defense came from a numerically negligible minority
OF Americans-a handful, comparatively speaking,
who sought to servetheir own selfish interest and
secure tat contracts for munitions and supplies.
Every organization to promote defense has been
mace the target OF these pacifist slurs. But when
ioO,UOO men and women In a single city turn out
Tor a twelve-hour parade, giving their entire day to
an unaccustoEned task that taxes the average mans
physical power very severely, as all know who have
ever marched in a parade, there can be no doubling
their sincerity or earneStness.
The active sentiment for preparedness proba-
bly, IS stronger in New York than in any other
American community, for the reason that the great
clty's tempting 'lootability'' and stragetic import
ance would make it one of the first detectives Of an
attacking power of the first class. The defense
problem compels a greater interest, and the need of
adequate defense is palmer there than in the shell
tered communities inland. The pacifist in Nebras-
ka, unable to see how his personal interest could be
affected by the invasion of either coast, may be I'M
consciously %impelled, in his opposition to national
defense, by the selfish motives he is so quick to
lmpute to the advocates of defense. And his neigh
bors, secure in their own possessions and busted
with concerns of their own in which the possibility
OF invasion never figures, may be slow to realize the

the same impulse and reasoning will sway patriotic
Americans throughout the country. When a former
resident OF a little Iowa town was murdered by Vii
promptly got busy to raise a fund for rewarding the
avengers OF his murder. The sentiment for defense
is active wherever people have studied the ques-
tons it involves, and it is being studied much more
widely and. carefully than many congressman
suppose.

SAVE CRIMSON CLOVER SEED FOR
FALL PLANTING

In preparation for planting big crops Of crimson
clover this fall. the many Mississippi farmers who
have Hpeping fields of this valuable lenl,fne are
planning to harvest their own seed within the next
few days. In addition to reduced expenses. home
grown seed are of more value for local planting
than even reclaimed seed that are imported from
other sections. This is the opinion of ]. r. Kicks
OF the Mississippi A. and M. College Experiment
Station, who is an advocate of crimson clover for
all parts of the State.
Results of experiments conducted by the
station on the College farm" he says, show that the
yield OF corn per aero may be doubled within s or
3 years by growing a winter crop of this clover
each year and turning it under in the spring without
the addition of any other form Of fertilizer" Be-
sides this it was found that the value Of the same
clover for winter grazing more than paid for the
trouble of saving seed and Of planting.
The best device for saving crimson clover seed
IS the nome made stripper, which may be made at
little expense by any farmer who is handy with q
saw and hammer. The stripper can be made any
Ideslred width, ranging from one to six feet, and may
be run by hand, or built on wheels and drawn by q
horse. 1t consists Of a board sawed to resemble a
common seed fork, the prongs but three-quarters
Of an inca in diameter and the spaces between about
one-quarter inch. Upright pieces are nailed on the
sides, and a box for the clover seed is attached just
tbehind.
Plans for making this stripper have been pre-
pared IN circular form by CT. Ames, of the Holly
Springs experiment station, who has secured good
results with it for several years. Any farmer who
desires further information on the machine may OBJ
tam this circular on application to Mr.. Ames al
Holly Springs, Mississippi.

INSPECTING HIGHWAYS.

Supervisors j. L. Haley, M. S. Will
SON and j. G. Peasants, accompanied
by Messrs. S. r. Keesler, 0. F. Bled-
zoe, Jr., and r. p Clark. the commit
tee representing the Business League,
were at Jackson, Canton and Tupelo
last Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
inspecting the public highways in
Kinds, Madison and Lee counties.
These gentlemen report having seen
some very good roads while on this
brief trip, and from what we can
gather they were quite favorably i'm
pressed with the concrete highways
examined-but. of course, they have
by no means reached any conclusion as
to the kind of roads they will recon-
mend the construction of in this coun-
ty. 1t is their purpose to make a
thorough examination of the highways
throughout the country before definitely
deciding which will be the most dura-
bic for this section.
Supervisor j. L. Montgomery in
forms US that the public roads in Lee
county are decidedly the best and
most up-to-date that he has seen any,
where in Mississippi.

RUNNING WATER IN EVERY FARM
HOME is SLOGAN.

Running water in the kitchen is a hope that
many Mississippi farm women will see realized this
year. This is one of the ways by which the silent
partners are removing drudgery from farm life.
Efficiency is the key note of the day, and the women
have found that packing. water by hand is inef-
ficient, when for a small cost, the water can be
piped to faucets in their kitchens.
To make it easy to put in water systems, the
Mississippi A. & NJ. College, cooperating with many
of the most prominent organizations and agencies in
the State, is now conducting a water works cam.
paign throughout Mississippi. Daniel Scoates, head
of the agricultural engineering department OF the
college has worked out several water systems to
meet the needs of every farm home and in reach of
every pocket book.
A simple system consisting of a pump attached
to the kitchen sink with pipes and connections can
be installed for $18. The next system, costing about
$35, consists of a force pump, kitchen sink with
waste pipe, and a tank to which the water is pumped
and is ready for use at all times. Another system
supplying both hot and cold water can be put in
for about $40. Other more elaborate systems with
bath room outfits have been designed for those who
want greater comforts.
Already farmers have secured the specifica-
tions of these various systems and are installing
them. Full details will be furnished to those who
request them from the Agricultural Engines, Agri-
cultural College, Mississippi.

WILL BE CANDIDATE AGAINST
VARDAMAN FOR SENATE.

There is no longer any doubt that Governor
Theo. G. Bilbo is a candidate against Senator James
4. Vardaman for the ~latter's place which election
takes place in 1918, says the Senatobia Democrat of
the 18th inst.
The editor of the Democrat saw this clearly
during the months which preceded the guberna-
torial election of the 1915 primary. Though the
hand OF Brutus was concealed by the cloak Of friend
ship then, and the Lieutenant-G Governor preached
from every hilltop that he was the steadfast friend
of James K. Vardaman and led thousands to be-
lieve that he had the endorsement of Vardaman, yet
today he authorizes the following statement which
appears in the Poplarville Free Press, a paper
which is as much the mouthpiece Of the Governor
as the Issue ever was:
THAT Governor Bilbo and Senator Vardaman
may be opponents for us. Senate in effect has been
vouchsafed by the Governor. In fact he is silent on
this question and when asked by friends as to
whether. it is his intention to make the race, he
shrugs his shoulder, smiles and says: LET them
(meaning the pubIic) guess"
But the probabilities are that Gov. Rilbo will
run for the. United States Senate against James
K. Vardaman, because there is no reason why he
should not. Bilbo IS under no obligation to Varda-
man at least not to that extent where it is visible
to the public eye, the senator remaining extremely
during the last election in which Bibo was
roughly handled by his opponents. :

THE PEOPLE ARE WITH MR.. WILSON.

Practically every county convention in
Mississippi indorsed in the very strongest
terms the administration of President
Woodrow Wilson and his preparedness poll
cy-and the fact that resolutions of a SINH
lar character were not introduced and adopt
ed in a few of the counties, is no evidence
the masses Of the people are in any sense
opposed to Mr.. Wilson's policies or his able
administration. There are a few factional
partisans here and there in Mississippi OPP
posing the President and his policies purely
because the Junior Senator from this State
has a conniption fit every time MI. Wilson
expresses himself on the momentous CUES
tons confronting the United States. Mr..
Wilson is right and the people are with him,
regardless Of the pestiferous buzzing Of a
few political gad-fies in different sections of
this State. The resolutions adopted yes
terday by the State convention express the
sentiments of the people of Mississippi rela-
tive to Woodrow Wilson and his admins
tration.

LINOTYPE MACHINE.

The Commonwealth has just recently
bought a New 1916 Model17 Multiple-Maga-
zine Linotype, which is the FIRST one of this
modern model machine sold in Mississippi,
and when completed by the manufacturers
will be shipped to us on the same day the
other first sales of this wonderful machine
are made into the, other States of the Union
and into Canada. The M~ergenthaler people
write us: =
''This modern machine will give you an
equipment equal to any in your State, and
we will do the very best we possibly can
towards facilitating delivery so that you
may commence to receive the benefits of the
Acknowledgements Linotype way at the
earliest possible moment. The Cutler
Hammer people are somewhat behind or
orders, but we anticipate no trouble in re-
ceiving the electric heater by the time your
Model II is ready for shipment. We con
graduate you upon deciding to install this
modern equipment"
We are expecting to receive our new
machine about June 1st, and we are natur-
ally proud of the fact The Commonwealth
office will have the distinction of installing
the FIRST one of this new model machine in
Mississippi, and that our office will be equal
in equipment to that of any in the State.
