PROSPERITY AND HAPPINESS

that the movement for the fallacy of prohibition is from without, instead of from within. 1t is the organization of the outside, the fanatics of the states who are trying to put this crime upon us. 1t is the women of Seattle, who are on their way here to stump the "cause;" the salaried staff of the Anti Salon League; the theorists and moralists of the outside who wish to meddle with our personal liberty and our prosperity and happiness. In no other thing, save an appeal to the igno- rance and the passions fo our people, would interference on their part be tolerated for a second by Alaskans. They come on us from our blind side our honest intention to do the right and prohibit the wrong, and depend for their success upon untrue statistics and faulty arguments, and sentiment, which have on reason or sense. The idea that we are capable of thinking and acting for ourselves does not ap- pear to those outsiders; unless we show them in November that we are competent to manage our own affairs they will have no cause to underrate their unnatural importance and un- natural presumption, but we will have long years in which to repent in pov- erty and sadness.

Cow Testing Association.

Mr.. l.. A. Higgins, Of the Extension
Department of the A, & NJ. college.
vas in own a day or two this week and
in company with Mr.. Geo Long, mana
ger OF the Macon Creamery Co., visited
number of dairymen in the county and
succeeded in forming a Cow Testing
association, thereby building up pro-
ftable dairy herds in the county. The
Importance of such an organization has
been recognized for sometime and the
promoters had little trouble in getting
the roquiside number of cows to assure
sufficient funds to employee a tester.
AS is known to all dairymen it is the
quality and the quantity of milk that
makes the value Of a COW and proves
whether she is profitable or unprofta-
BILE and until each COW is tested a dairy-
man never knows whether the average
OF his herd is high enough to tell wheth-
er his dairy is a paying or losing pro-
position.
The Macon Creamery was the first
independent creamery in the state and
the success it has met with caused
creameries to be established in half a
dozen more places in the state. It is
gratifying to know the dairymen rec
ognize the necessity of the progressive
movement,

Good Roads.

A very hopeful sign for the contin,
uance Of the good roads movement in
Noxubee is the great interest that IL
still being taken in good roads in the
county. Noxubee has made splendid
Roadway in the construction of roads
and in keeping them up for the most
part. But there is plenty still to do,
and the fact that our people are mani
Testing about as much interest now al
they did when the subject was new is q
good indication that we are not through
with building good roads. Every meet
ing Of the supervisors is attended by
people interested in building and main
tanning good roads, and various meet
ings OF citizens at various places in the
county are always well attended and
keen interest manifested.

THE FLAG SALUTE IN SCHOOLS,
Have the pupils march in with a lead
er holding a flag. Let them take their
places on the stage; then the leader
with the flag steps out in front of them
and holds it aloft while they repeat the
pledge.
The effectiveness Of the Flag Salute
depends upon the spirit in which it is
given; and this spirit depends. as all
school exercises do, upon the spirit of
the teacher. II this is done in the
spirit Of true patriotism, it will beget
in the hearts Of the pupils a love Tor
''The Stars and Stripes, " and all they
symbolic.
The pledge is as follows:
81 give my head and my heart to God
and my Country-One Country, One
Language, One Flag"
After the color-bearer has brought
fourth the flag, at a signal from the
teacher, every pupil will stand erect in
his place and give the pledge, and sa-
lutte in this manner:
Extend the right arm and point
toward the flag.
2-Bring the tips of the fingers to
the forehead. saying. II give m y
head, -"
3-Bring the hand wei the heart say
ing. "And my heart, ="

South and Preparedness.

Republican newspapers are tell.
ing the President not to trouble
himself about the West so far as
his preparedness program is con-
cerned. They advise him to con
vert the south.
The south is not any more In
need of conversion than the west,
however, and if the President
comes this way, as he is said to
be planning to do, he will find
that, in spite of the attitude of
some of the Southern representa-
tiyes, happily few, the masses of
the people in this section are as
strongly for national defense as
those of any other section of the
country.
The campaign which Judge Ven
able won in Mississippi is reflect
i've of Southern sentiment. Sena-
tor Vardaman's large personal fol-
lowing in the state is not disput-
ed; but it was significant that of
four or five candidates in the race
all but the Vardaman candidate
stood for the broad policy advo,
Gated by the President.
Time was when the south was
regarded as more emotional than
practical. But conditions have
changed. Now it Is the section of
sound conservatism. It's cOnser-
vatism, however, involves no lack
of patriotism, nor any want of ap.
probation Of the dangers ofunpre,
paredness at a time when the world
is on fire and sparks are falling all
around.
When the showdown comes the
south's representatives will be
found standing behind the head of
the government. Senator Ransdell
came to Louisiana a couple of
weeks ago to find sentiment, where,
ever he sounded it, unanimously
behind Mr.. Wilson's policy. 9th
er Senators and congressman will
find a like sentiment in their con-
stituencies if, like the Louisiana
Senator, they go among their PEG.
pie and feel their pulses.-N. O..

Science and Success.

To whatever contradictory
theories other aspects of the war
may give rise, one point is be.
yond dispute: the success of the
Germans. both in preparing for
the war and in carrying it on.
has been owing to the govern.
ment's long encouragement of
scientific research and to the peo-
pies application Of scientific
knowledge to commerce and to
war, says an exchange.
German preparedness is as
founding. In every department
the possible needs of the future
had been carefully thought out
and scientifically provided for.
Strategic railways for the rapid
movement of troops, cannon,
ammunition, air craft, submarines
and other things were ready
minutest detail for instant use.
For the foresight thus shown,
for the assiduous cultivation of
science, for the ingenuity and en-
terprise in applied science and
for the success that has followed
the wise policy of the govern
ment, the world has nothing ex-
cept admiration, for to applaud
the use of means that other ma
tions neglect is to applaud intel
llgence and enterprise, withou.
regard to the cause in which they
are enlisted.
1t is not less true that the ne
glect of science by the British
government accounts for its pres.
ent straits. In spite Of frequent
and loudly repeated warnings
that Germany was taking British
trade and utilizing even British
discoveries that Britons them.
selves failed to utilize, British
research received almost no en-
enlargement from the govern
ment. The present most unsat.
isfactory condition of things is
the inevitable result of that
shortsightedness.
We cannot afford to miss the
lesson, and now is the time tC
take it to heart and to act upon
1t. Whether or not we are to be
drawn into war by land and seq
during or after the present tita.
mic conflict, we are sure to be en-.
gagged in commercial warfare OF
tho most active kind. We must
be equipped for it. In this age
OF the world, science gives the
victory. If we would hold oul
own in the future struggle fol
international trade, or even fol-
our own home market, we must
excel our competitors in the use
OF all the knowledge that chem.
lstry. metallurgy, engineering
physics, statistics and every 9th.
er useful science can impart, II

ton and the states, for the

dlvlduals enterprise to see to il
that in that form of preparedness.
we do not fall behind any Other
