DR. T. J Bailey is engaged ia writ
ing a history of prohibition work in
Mississippi. He can get from state
records all state legislation, but, in
order to make a book worthy of this
great movement, it will be necessary
to have at least an epitome of the re.
suits of this legislation in the vari-
Gus counties and towns in the state.
Any reader of this paper who has
in his possession in any form any
facts concerning prohibition work in

When Sherman said War is hell"
he might have added. "but it takes
good dose of that commodity to
convert some sinners" While it is
"a great waste, yet in the providence
of God war may be turned to Good.
I,All things work together for good,
but sometimes they work 'awfully
hard and war is one of them. But
so long as Hell on earth" is neces-
sagy we shall in the nature of things
have war, but it is our privilege to
come out of each better folks.
Right now the war is turning our
thought to saving, to producing, to
studying our surroundings, to using
our resources, to strengthening our
weak places, to seeing the great val
ue of our rich lands, to close study
OF foods for man and beast, to econo
mizing IN clothing, to democratizng
our education to vitalizng our
schools. to conserving Our health, to
saving our wealth in a thousand

their minds turned from school house
to field, and the teacher will show a
lively interest in the garden and the

to lose from an entangling alliance

how to save and how to live. If we
come back to the time when a TWEEN
