fragmentarily. Many of the
answers, moreover, will be so mis-
understood as to add shadows
to the dark places.
AT best some Of the queries
put at five cannot be answered
at fifty-and would not be if the
eager questioner were to live to
be five hundred. They are among
the permanent human problems.
'But these are precisely the
questions which must be an
swered carefully and honestly if
the child is to go from ques-
ton to question.
eff he asks in all seriousness
where he came from, and is put
off with palpable fabrications,
he will come to think that the
adults are not concerned with
these matters so vital to him,
or are ignorant concerning them.

because he instinctively Graves
to get better acquainted with
the world in which he lives.
This is the parents opportun-
ity.
Instead of depressing the
child, instead of impatiently or
dering the child to be silent, the
wise parent will try to answer
his child's questions in such a
way as to increase the child's
stock of knowledge, and at the
same time keep alive the i'm
pulse to question.
To repress the child will only
deaden the chilG's mind. False
or evasive answers will similar
ly have bad results. Or, as
stated more deliberately by one
authority on child psychology:
MANY of the questions put
by a child can be answered only

the best of your ability. In
deed, enlarge your own stock of
knowledge so that you can help
your child to enlarge his.
You don't want your child la
ter in life to be regarded as an
ignoramus. You want him to
be successful in whatever he
undertakes.
Very we'll. Help him to de-
velop the mental strength with
out which success cannot be
won. Don't let his mind grow
flabby for lack of exercise.
Encourage him to exercise it
by asking questions and by CIV
ing him answers that will set
him thinking for himself.
If, on the contrary, you stop
him from asking questions, in
great degree you stop his men,

YOUR CHILD'S QUESTIONS.
(By H. Addington Bruce

(By II. AQQlngCOn Bfuce)
Today l want to talk especial
ly to parents who are troubled
because their children are per-
petually asking questions. Most
of all, l want to warn them not
to make the mistake many par
ents make of trying to discour-
age this questioning habit.
AS a matter of fact, the par
ents who ought to be troubled
are those whose children ask
few questions.
A child who does not ask many
questions is usually a child Of
sluggish mentality. The more
questions a child asks the more
alert, as a rule, his mind is.
He asks questions simply be-
cause his mind is active, and

Beautiful Clover i
One Of the prettiest small patches of
ground in the whole state is the little
paddock east of Mr.. E. V. Yates gar
den which he has planted in crimson
clover. 1t is about an acre in extent
and covered as thick as hair on a dogs
back with clover two feet high, and
every stalk is practically the same
height and every n topped with the
crimson blossom that gives the plant
its name. The uniformity in size and
maturity is perfect and is an added
beauty to the field.
This clover was planted last October
No fertilizer was used; in fact there
has been no fertilizer put on the land
in five years although four crops Of
lori and one of cotton has been grown
on it during that time. The soil is
mixed sand and prairie. Hogs have
grazed on the clover and kept fat as
mud with no other feed than a little
slops. The clover will not be cut, but
turned under to build up the soil.

Notable Visitors.
Mrs. o. W. Conner of Seminary, we'll
remembered here as Miss Gertrude Sem
nett, and her son, Hon. M. S. Connor,
Speaker of the Mississippi House of
Representatives, spent several days in
Noxubee this week. 1t was the first
time Mrs. Conner had been on her
native heath for sixteen years, and
scenes all over the county have changed
much in those years. The changes are
all for the better and she was greatly
impressed with the improvements in
the county.
Mrs. Connor and her distinguished
son were the recipients of many courte-
sizes at the hands of her old friends in
the town and county. Mr.. Conner, for
a young man who has won such a dis
tinguished position in the state govern
ment, is ~singularly modest and unaf-
fected, and made many friends during
his stay here. He impresses one as be-
ing not only a man of ability, but of
good judgment and high principle.

Starkville Field Meets.

While the Macon High School did not
give a holiday for the occasion and no
excursion train was run from Macon,
the school played avery prominent part
in the Northeast Mississippi school
meet held at Stark Vile last Friday.
Twenty-one towns took part in the
contests, most of the schools taking a
holiday and sending hundreds of pupils,
and large teams of literary and athletic
contestants. ..The meet was won by
Okolona with a score of seventeen
points. Tupelo came next with ten
points. A great many schools failed
to score n points, but Macon finished
third or fourth with six points as fol.

In the literary contests Macon's rep
r~esentatives. Virginia Morgan, Joe
Shelton, Julia Holberg and Creighton
Allen all did splendidly. In every con-
test they measured favorably with those
given decisions over them.
On account of Creighton Aliens en-
trance the music contest was more in
teresting this year than it has ever
been. After hearing him practicable
fore the contest, the music teachers
present had conceded to Creighton first
place. After the contest not only the
teachers but the entire audience was
unanimous that he should have first
place. but the judges gave the first de-
cision to Miss Evans Of West Point
and the second to Creighton. In spite
of the decision the music teachers who
have attended the meet regularly all
said Creighton was the most gifted and
that his playing was the best in the
history of the association. Since the
contest Creighton has received sever
letters of generalization, all Of them
expressing interest in his future and
predicting great things for him. The
Choral club of Okolona has invited him
to play at the annual musicale of the
club.
In athletics Ansel Lindley easily won
first place in the high jump; Nelson
Sherrod and Finis Carleton defeated
the West Point tennis team 60; Louise
Allen and Corinne Patty won second
place in girls tennis out Of towns, de-
feating Aberdeen and Columbus. w.
