He says that, in spite of the fact
that pretty Mrs. Shank was only IA
when they married, she did love him
and that he has a right to expect that
her affection would not cool
Mrs. Shank argues that there could
be no alienation of love, as love did
not exist, and she answers the ar
gument of her husband with this
amazing revelation of the feminine
heart:
Love at IA years of age is not
love. It is schoolgirl infatuation.

possessed by our sister state and
Mississippians are warned that
they must hustle to keep ahead
in the race for supremacy.
Mobile county Alabama has or
ganized for the purpose of erect
ing a $4,000 building on the Ex-
position grounds and placing
therein a comprehensive showing
of what that section has to offer.
The city of Mobile and the coun-
ty can make most creditable
display, and with the forces be-
hind the mavement, there is no
doubt about this being done.
Baldwin county Alabama, one
of the leaders in the citrus fruits
and general diversification for
that state, is alive to the benefits
to be had from participation in
the Exposition and is perfecting
a plan by which a comprehensive
exhibit can be shown at our
great birthday celebration.
The office building, first to be
constructed, is nearing compile
ton and willNbe ready for occu-
pancy in a few days. 1t is not
only a gem Of architecture, but
is substantially constructed and
will be good for many years use.

Clean up the Orchard

A little labor expended in a
Athorough cleaning of the orchard
in the fall after the leaves have
fallen and the farm work has
become slack, will be unusually
profitable. This clearing con-
sists of the removal and burning
of all weeds, brush, dead limbs
and leaves.
BY this simple process thous-
ands and some cases even mil
lions of insect eggs and fungous
spores that have been produced
| during the past season will be
destroyed. In no line of work is
a little prevention more superior
to remedy than it is here. Each
one of these eggs or spores is
only waiting for a favorable op-
portunity to hatch or grow, and
start its work upon the fruit
crop of next season.
The cost of this prevention is
Asmall when compared to the
pplication of remedy. One
ght spraying which will not
iestroy one-twentieth as many
insectseor fungus growths will
cost more than this cleaning.
Even these will not be destroyed
until they have done at least a
little damage. Some raise the
objection that the removal of
weeds and leaves deprives the
of a large amount of fertilizer
and humus. This undoubtedly
is true but there is little doubt
that one can apply as much fer
tilizer as is removed in the weeds
and leaves at a cost much less
than the value of the fruit dam
agel by insects and fungus dis
eases. Il. G. Heron. Extension

Live Exposition Notes

Contracts were let the first of
this week for a number of the
largest buildings on the Exposi-
tion grounds. In these were in
cluded the Coliseum and the Mis-
sissippi building to be erected by
the State. She Coliseum will be
the largest and best assembly
hall in the South. The Missis-
sippi building will be 100 x 300
feet and used for permanent ex-
hibits from the various counties
of the State. The others are the
Manufacturers, Boys and Girls,
Womens, Efficiency and Applied
Arts. The longest time requir-
ed for building will be the Coils
cum which must be ready for use
by the first of July next year.
To the comparatively new coun-
ty of George is due the credit of
of sending the first warrant for
participation in the big birthday
party. The appropriation made
by the Board Of Supervisors will
be supplemented by towns, cor
porations and individuals and an
excellent showing made. The
exhibit will be made in a hand
some glass case and good for
years. 1t will be available for
the expositions to be held annu-
ally as for the thousands of nor
thern visitors who will visit the
coast each winter.
Louisiana has an appropriation
from its Legislature for partici-
patton in the exposition that can
be supplemented by the parishes,
towns and others, together with
a commission authorized to solic-
it funds for the erection of a
building and making an exhibit.

Shelter and Paint Saves
Buying a New Plow

"a nickel saved is a nickel
made" Many nickels and dol
lars too can be saved in shop bills
and the cost of new farm ma
chinery by hauling all plows,
harrows, hay rakes and other
implements right now and stor-
ing them under shelter. Still
more nickels can be saved if the
odd times and rainy days during
the winter are used to overhaul
and repaint these machines.
J. r. Kicks, of the A. and M,
College Experiment Station, says
that the present cost of machin-
cry makes it more than ever nee
essary that every tool be made
to do it's maximum amount OF
service. Thousands of dollars
that go North each spring for
farm machinery can be kept
at home if Southern farmers will
build'implement sheds instead OF
making use of convenient trees
or leaving their tools to warp,
crack, and rust out in lthe fields.
Paint, too, is a wonderful pre-
server of wood. and on the metal
parts it prevents the formation
of a coat of rust which not only
looks bad, but eats away practi-
cally as much of the metal as is
worn off by "a season Of hard use.
Grease or oil will preserve the
mold boards and other bright
wearing parts where paint can
not be used.

Order Nursery Stock Now

Early ordering of nursery stock
is advantageous to both the
purchaser and nurseryman. The
varieties and locations of the
paintings of trees and bush fruits
and grapes can well be selected
now. This gives the purchaser
a chance to receive bids on the
nursery stock at the cheapest
prices. Frequently a very tav-
orable time for planting presents
itself early in the winter and
unless the stock was ordered and
secured in the early winter this
chance must pass by unheeded.
By ordering early the nursery
man is able to give better SER
vice. He has more stock to pick
from and as a result the purchas-
err gets a better quality of stock.
The nurseryman can also furnish
q greater number Of varieties
and has a chance to select a more
favorable time for shipping. He
is not rushed and takes more
care in the labelling and packing
Of the stock. l.. G. Heron,

The Qualification of a Teacher
and the Ways of Conducting
Published by request

The work of the Sunday School
is the general work, committed
of God to His people, which work
is to win the lost to Jesus and to
develop the lives of those won in
helpfulness and holiness. The
teacher is the key to the success
of that work. His or her place
second only to the minister called
of God to publicly proclaim His
gospel.
The qualifications of a teacher
are matters of great Importance.
First of all he needs a new heart,
he must have a personal eX-
perience of grace, he must know
the way he is to lead others.
No intellectual preparation will
answer, if the heart preparation
is absent, in Gods kingdom.
He must take heed unto himself
and doctrines, continue in them
for in so doing he will save him
self and those that hear him.
There are some things a teach
er must know if he meets the
demands of his great work.
He must know the Lord, he must
know himself, he must know his
lesson, he must know his pupils.
He must have convictions heart
convictions-about his work,
realize that he is dealing with
immortal souls and teaching the
eternal word of God. This will
lead to PRAYER, preparation,
punctuality, planning and perse-
verance in the work.
The successful teacher must
have a great deal of patience,
never losing his temper or be-
coming nervous at the restless
ness of his class. Always look
pleasant even if you can't look
pretty.
Be cheerful at all times.
Cheerfulness is contagious. A
pleasant faced cheerful teacher
will radiate cheer and good will
among his entire class.
The way of conducting class.
This will be determined by the
character of the pupils, as to
age, advancement and capacity.
Some times the teacher must
lead the thought of the class

Hewers of Stone and
Drawers of Water

Mississippi possesses natural
advantages second to no state in
the Union. Our people are hon
est, Woodworking, God-fearing,
law abiding and congenial to the
limit. But with all this, there
has been lacking to a considera-
BILE degree an element that is ab-
solutely necessary to the success
that is due them. That is the
spirit of aggressiveness and a
determination to bring about the
proper development of our great
resources and create a demand
for the excellent products of our
farms.
This criticism is made in the
kindest spirit by one who has la
bored with the masses for many
years and has for them a great
bond of sympathy and the high
est respect. There are many
who are wide-awake and striving
for better things, but the percen-
tage is by far too small. The
people are still "hewers of stone
and drawers of water" for a
more progressive and aggressive
citizenship Of other states.
The products of other fields
have been exploited in our State
and are in common use to the ex-
clusion of our ownIthat are equal
ly as good, and in many instan-
ces, better. This condition has
caused hard times and dissatis-
faction with thousands who like
ly do not appreciate the cause
yet these same citizens are more
likely the ones that would oppose
a suggestion that would help in
every way.
This was the case when the
Centennial Exposition was pro-
posed and the campaign for its
existance was being waged, al
though the experience of other
states was at hand to-prove that
it has been the best investment
ever made. Members of the
Legislature from counties that
were sorely in need of just such
help as the Exposition could lend
were the strongest contenders
against it. as were undoubtedly
the people of the counties that
they represented.
More Cnan q mllllOn VlSlUOrS
will be attracted to Mississippi by
the exposition, and our sweet po-
tatoes, rice, syrup, oranges and
other products can be made so
popular and such a demand crea-
ted that there will be no lack of
a staple market for all that we
can grow, but there are so many
who do not believe in these things
and go right along and buy less
meritorious articles of the same
kind from other sections that
