The mail order houses, as never
before, are. sowing down the coun-
try with their catalogues and other
advertising matter. All the old
houses, whose names are house
hold words. are at it with push and
vim. while many new concerns are
helping like veterans. Foreign
advertisers are calling for rates
and terms from the newspapers
with a persistence which shows
them to be really in earnest and
doubtless every newspaper man IS
finding it hard to reject some Of
fers which they know would in
jure the trade of their home deal
srs. This fact will be appreciated
when it is known that few local
papers take mail order advertising
and all of them are just now in a
struggle for thGr very existence.
Prices have scared to such height
in newspaperdom that there is a
loss in every issue of most papers.
and that, too, at a time when the
local merchants have seen fit to
curtail their expenses by dropping
large part of their advertising.
And here lies a danger. The mail
order houses are going to reap a
rich harvest from the fields our
local people are neglecting. = Oko-

The work of arousing interest
in the eradication Of illiteracy in
Mississippi was started about a
year ago. AT the last session of
the legislature there was created
an adult Commission for the. pur-
pose of reducing the percentage
of illiteracy of adults in tho state.
This commission has issued q
bulletin to give publicity to the
movement and to secure sugges-
|tions in regard to ways and means.
Taking into consideration the facts
that Mississippi ranks ss the third
most illiterate state and Tisho-
mingo as the most illiterate coun-
~ In the state, It seems time for
every Mississippian to begin to
think of some way to lift the bur-
den of illiteracy from the state.
The success of the work of the
Mississippi Illiteracy Commission
depends entirely upon the yolun-
tary contributions of time, money
and thought on the part of individ-
ual citizens and the various civic,
educational and social organiza-
tions of the state. The larger
share of the actual work will fall
to the lot of the teachers and they
will doubtless measure up to the
requirements as in other things.
1t is most important that the
County Superintendent of Educa-
ton appoin, County Commission
to bring the matter before the
County Teachers Association.
With a state commission, county
commission. interested teachers
and trustees and q number of big
hearted men and women to be
capable. aggressive and earnest
champions of the cause they will
free Mississippi from the curse Of
ilIitsracy. XXX
