Buy Austrian Vessels.

Washington, May 9-The federal shipping board announced tonight that it had purchased from American Owners seven Austrian merchantmen held in American ports, totalline 52,G51 tons for $6,77S,o06. The price is about half the prevailing price for ships.
 The vessels will be repaired i'll few months and placed in the war emergency trade by the board.
 The ships were bought from D. T. Herd and George A. Garden, New York ship brokers, who agreed to sacrifice their profits and sell at virtually the same price they gave for the vessels.
 'This economic experiment is Tn sharp contrast to the experience met by the government in ship purchas- ing at the outbreak of the Spanish war;" said Chairman Denman, stat ing also that shipping corporation which had an option on the vessels had waived it's interests.
 The low price paid by the govern ment was $107,000 more than the amount paid to the Austrian owners. This sum represented the financing costs and attorneys fees.
 The ships were bought at Presi- dent Wilson's direction and will be paid for from the $10O,O0O,0O0 war emergency fund at his disposal. Other purchases are contemplated by the shipping board and it is said some other Austrian ships now in American ports may be acquired.
 Taxes Reach Into Homes. Washington, May 9.-The war tax bill, extending it's excises to the fab ric of every American home, was formally presented to inc house to- day, with plans for it's quick pas sage.
 As forecast of what may come later, it proposes special taxes to raise $1,SO0,0O0,00O in addition to the present normal revenue of $1,500- 00O,O00.
 When it's terms are effective, American people will be paying di- rect taxes of $33 per capita. The people of the British islands, half as many, are now paying per capita taxes of $6O.
 rho the pflnc1pdI IeatuTeS are lH- creases in income and profit taxes, internal revenue rates, and customs duties, many of the provisions reacn the innermost structure of every home, and make up list of taxes probably the most formidable ever faced by the American people. The household light, heat and tele- phone bills, admission tickets to shows, fire and life insurance, rail- road tickets, autos, auto tires and tubes, soft drinks. postage rates, hgolf clubs, baseball hats. club dues. and a host of other daily necessities or luxuries. come under taxation. Increased postal .ratess of news papers, arranged 4iK Zone systems. some publishers say, will force some of the papers out of business. Al- ready prptests are pouring in and at-s tacks will center in the senate com nittee, which will conduct pnbliN; 4k N sassS Sffvnn <lnuoN m rnaa a1y. \

MISS LENA BOLT GIVES HOME
CANNING DEMONSTRATION

Miss Lena Bolt, County Home
Demonstration Agent of Lee County,
gave a demonstration and lecture on
Home Canning and Preserving fruits
and vegetables at the Court House
here Wednesday to a very large
crowd, principally the members Of the
Fulton and Pleasant Site Canning
Clubs.
In the morning, according to the
announcement, she gave a lecture on
the government instructions and her
experiences in canning and preserv-
ing fruits and vegetables.
After this, about one O'Clock, a
bountiful and delicious dinner, which
had been prepared by the home Club
Girls for the visitors was spread and
gracefully served in the beautiful
grove on Court square. 1t was highly
enjoyed by all and especially the Ed
itor.
They were soon poined by several
of the married ladies of the town,
and a demonstration in Home Can
ming was given.
Miss Bolt was assisted in the Dem
onstration by four Lee County Club
members, Misses Lethae MAJ Perkins,
Mary Kenney, Jaunity Rogers and
Beatrice McCord.
All members of the Fulton Club
and most of the members of the
Pleasant Site Club were present and
all seemed very much interested and
we are sure that the demonstration
will make them nor determined and
willing to make a success of their
Club work if it is their first year.
We think The Club work is a great
thing and that more Clubs should be
organized over the County.
The needs of a County Home Dem
onstrator can well be seen.
The girls appreciated very much
the work of Miss Bolt and the Club
members of Lee County in organizing
and instructing them in getting their
club work started.-Ittawamba Coun-

spent Wednesday and Thursday ii

Wednesday morning Messrs. Dur
ham and Higgins were driven over
several cream routes near Saltillo
by Mr.. A. A. McLeran, Of the Tu-
pelo Creamery and these gentlemen
found considerable interest in the

were surprised to find the grade of
cows that are found on our farms.
They r above the average and much
better than they expected to find.
Prof. Durham has just come to the
state from Denizon, Texas, and stat
ed that Lee county's general condi-

GAR AND HIS DELILAH.
Charles Johnston, in the North
American Review.


Nicholas was not the first, nor will
he be the last to yield up judgment
and will into the hands of a queenly
and beautiful woman. The motive of
Samson and Delilah of the value of
Sorek in a scarlet thread that runs
through all history. And the EN-
press Alexandra herself, a broken
hearted woman from the beginning,
was LED to The brink of the precipice
by forces of tremendous and univer-
sal strength; her passionate and
morbid love for her invalid son,
born after long waiting, whose pains
were alleviated, it would seem, by
Rasputin's magnetic force, just as
the fatal malady of the cars faith
er, Alexander III, was lightened by
the simitar but more benign power
OF Father John of Cronstadt; her
passion for autrocratic power. These
are not vulgar or trivial motives:
they have swayed great souls through
all history.
The element of mysticism, even
though it be a morbid and danger
Gus mysticism, runs through the
whole drama. We shall, / think, be
quite misled if we think of it as mere
ly vulgar chariatanism, like C~arlyle's
probable misleading of sCagilostro.
Nichols II, like all Russians who are
true to their blood, was impressed
and oppressed by the presence of the
Invisible world. All these men are
full OF tie n of the supernatural,
ardently revering their miracle
working saints, in no way thinking
that the age of immediate divine in
terventions has passed. Nor can we
venture to say, in these days of re-
vived belief in the invisible, that the
Russian millions are wrong. It is
this universal mood which gives a
Rasputin his power and opportunity
to the benign influence Of Father
John of Cronstadt. And Nicholas IL
was as fully possessed by this mys-
tical s~ensibility as any of his peas
ants. Stumbling in the midst of
mighty difficulties, he longed for or
acles from heaven, to make his in
tricate pathway clearer through the
darkness. And if, blinded by devo-
