PARENTS PROBLEMS
 NOTHING ID THIS
Involved in Purchase Of Set of Books is Question of Life of Arizona
 Congress of Mothers

With the purchase of a set of books does the buyer become q mem Der of child welfare circle.
 That is the question that arose yesterday when il became known that Miss Mabel Bradt, who is introduc- ing in Arizona the Parents and Their Problems" series published by the National Congress of Mothers. Miss Bradt. it is understood, admits every purchaser to child welfare circle. Al present she is not being recognized by the local Parent Teacher circles and other organiza- tions affiliated with the State Con- gress of Mothers. There is not the slightest friction however between Miss Bradt and the officers of the Congress who have invited her to at tend the executive board meeting scheduled for Monday.
 Mrs J. C. Norton, president of the Congress and Mrs. Frank T. Alkire state organizer held a conference with Miss Bradt yesterday. Both the local women have for many years advocated the books for which Miss Bradt is agent and it is their desire that the series of articles compiled by the foremost educators in the country be placed in as many homes as possible As far as the organi- zation work is concerned. the matter is not quite clear. According to the state constitution. the circles must pay dues without which the Parent Teacher Associations cannot be affil- i.,f.
 ership of eight volumes means q membership, that membership will not be recognized by the state organ ization as it is contrary to it's laws. The dues only amount to twenty cents year, but if discontinued would eventually mean ruin to the Arizona Congress of Mothers, say the officials

world, and declares that others
may do as they may, but as for
him and his household they are
back to stay. He says that he
learned many things while away,
and one of the most important
things that he learned was the
fact that prior to his going away
he knewvery little about farming,
although he thought himself an
expert. The farmers in Texas,
or at least those who are making
a success at farming, are work
ing intelligently twelve or thir-
teen months in the year, the fall
being the busiest months. Dur
ing that period all lands are
deeply plowed several times and
put in good condition for the
spring seed bed. He believes
that with the experience that he
has gained that he will be able
to grow cotton on his farm at
Sandhill at profit, regardless of
the boil weevil, or any other
pests. Mr.. benson is a good
man, and the county gladly well
comes his return.

Marriage Notice Brings Memo
rieS of Other DAYS.

In the Forest, Miss, Register
of last week we find the an
nouncement of the marriage of
Miss Betty Caperton Eastland
and DR.. James Clifton Cole,
which will occur at the home of
the brides sister in Forest this
afternoon.
After reading the notice we
opened a drawer in our desk and
pulled out a photo of the interior
of a Mississippi printing Office
about eighteen years ago. In
the picture is a boy of Is or 16,
with a big printers apron and a
daub of ink on his face. That is
DR.. Cole, who in those days was
employed as devil" in the Bran
don News office, of which the
Leader man was then publisher.
Clifton was a good boy and after
a few years in the printing Office
he went to New Orleans and
studied medicine and has been
practicing in that city for a num-
ber of years. He has made good
and we extend heartiest congrat-
ulations and wish him success in
the years to come. If he is as
good a man as his honored father

zen. ZEarlyille. I'LL. Leader.

I will fear no evil; for Thou art
with me; Thy rod and Thy staff
they comfort me-" it brings a
hahn to the wounded heart. The
Psalmist of old uttered a great
truth in the above that was ap-
plicable in the closing of the life
of this noble young man. He
had never attained to any nigh
position of honor, but he was al
ways ready to do what his hands
found to do, and to do it with all
his might. He was not ashamed
of honest labor, and any job that
was honorable was always ac-
ceptable to him that he might
provide for himself and those
dear to him.
To the broken-hearted father,
motner, brothers and sisters, who
sit in sorrow where his footsteps
shall never again find echo, we
extend the sympathy of one who
loved him as a true friend.

CumbS to Attack of INDIGESTION.

Seized with an attack of acute
indigestion complicated with
other troubles, T. B. Hobson, a
we'll known Brandon citizen sue
cumbed to a fainting spasm
while at the union passenger
station this morning. He was
on his way here for treatment at

He was hurriedly taken
to the hospital by the H. M.
Taylor ambulance, where despite
the prompt and most assidious
attention, he passed away at IL
O'Clock.
The body was taken charge of
by Mr.. Taylor and prepared for
transfer to the stricken home in
Brandon, whence it will be re-
moved this evening.
Relatives were notified at once
and will be here this afternoon
to accompany the body which is

T. B. Hobson was the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Hobson, and
was born and reared near this
town. His sudden and unex-
pected death brings sorrow to
many hearts.
He was one of the best boys
we ever knew-brave, generous,
manly. His was the soul of
honor, and his friends and friend
ships were sacred to him.
It is sad at any time to see a
human soul take its leap into the
great ocean of eternity. but when
the departed one might we'll have
