THRIFT TAKS.
40. Thrift and the Home Study Habit

BY G. II Howerton. Mississippi A M College
We are told that $4,000 people in
the state of Wisconsin are dong
home study work with a view to
getting college degree. About the
same number Is givenas the home
study pupils in California. Most OF
these in both states are adults. In
all the Northen States this condition
will be found-men and women
doing college work at home. ! won
der what the statistics are in Miss
issippi. Wish someone would get
them that we may know just where
we stand as student state. Some
one told me a few days ago that
Mississippi spends fewer dollars for
education per head than any state in
the Union. Wonder if this is correct.
Well, anyhow, not many OF us are
in a home study course. Heard a
banker say the other day that more
than 200 new houses had been built
in his county in Mississippi In the
last five years, and not one by a
native Misslsslppian. Wonder il
there is any connection between the
industry that builds home, the
industry that is willing to tackle a
college corse by correspondence after
maturity, and the industry that
spells. Thrift.
An eminent lawyer said to me yes
terday that if the A. and M.College
ever fulfils its mission 1t must carry
ALL its informrtion to all its people.
Ard he especially emphasized that
we can not have industrious. educa-
ted farmers, prosperous and thrifty
UNLESS their wives have the same
kind of education.
If we had $4,000 adults to day
doing home study work for definite
purpose, exact. scientific. college
work getting college credit it
would revolutionize THRIFT in this
State in decade. Too long have we
looked on Commencement" as the
quitting day for study, and regarded
the college as finishing" machine.

NOT TIME TO RELAX IN TICK CAMPAIGN
Need For Greater Vigilance Now Than
Ever.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. ID, 1917
To All Supervising Inspectors: -
We have now arrived at time in
the season when many cattle owners
and even some of the inspectors, feel
that the ticks have been eradicated
and that continued strenuous efforts
are no longer so essential This idea
however, is mistake, for the ticks
have not yet been eradicated in any
locality where they were In evidence
as late as April. and all supervising
inspectors and others are earnestly
urged to continue close supervision
of their territory, checking up the
watts and the inspectors with as much
care and attention as during the ear
ly part of the season. Ii this is done
the entire state will be iE splendid
shape at the close of the year, but,
on the other hand, If proper super
vision is not continued and the in
spectors allow their watts to show low
tests and do not require all animals
to be brought to the watts. then the
results are bound to be unsatisfacto-
ry.
Let everyone continue to do their
bit.

Inspector in Charge.

The Thrice-A-Week Edition
Of The New York World
Practically Daily at the Price of a
Weekly. No other Newspaper in
the world gives so much at so low a
price.
In 1917


The value and need of newspaper
in the household was never greater
than at the present time. The great
war in Europe is now halfway into
its third year, and, whether peace
be at hand or yet be far off, it and
the events TO follow it are sure to be
of absorbing interest for MANY a
month to come.
These are Notwithstanding affairs in
which the United States, willing or
unwilling, is compelled to take a
part. No intelligent person can ig-
more snch issues.
The Thrice A Week Worlds regu-
lar subscription price is only $1.00
per year, and this pays for 1876 pa.
pers. We offer this unequalled
newspaper and The Greene County
Herald, together for one year for
$1.65.
The regular subscription price Of
the two papers is loo each or g. 90

BRITISH FORCES
IN RECENT RAIDS
German Spirit Is Breaking
Under Repeated Losses,
J General Maurice
Declares.

London, Feb. 16.-Major General
F. B. Maurice, chief director of mill
tary operations at the War Office,
who has returned from France, said
to-day to the Associated Press that
since the beginning. Of the new year
the trench raids which the British
forces have been carrying on have
brought a gain in ground to an
average depth Of three-quar ters Of a
mile over a front of 10000 yards, and
resulted in the capture of 1000 Ger
mans, and also have greatly encour-
aged the British troops General
Maurice said the total losses of the
British had not been as great as the
number of German prisoners.
"Our raids" said the general, "are
divided into two forms, those on the
Somme front, where we are terrifying
the new ground, particularly observa-
ton points, and on the remainder of
the front, where we raid the enemy's
trenches, worry the Germans and i'm
prove our own morale. Both forms
have been successful
con the Ancre since the first of the
year over a front Of 5000 yards we
have gained ground to depth of
nearly three-quarters of a mile, while
elsewhere in the Somme section ter
rain to an equal depth has been gain
ed over a thousand yard front. The
effect of these gains has not only CIV
en- us excellent vantage posts, but the
encouragem of our morale has
been very great, while we have rea-
son to believe the effect on the enemy
has been exceedingly depressing.
''The ground for two weeks has
been very hard. The slight thaw late
ly did not retard the raids. 1t is easy
to get over hard ground. The diff
Guilty arises in organizing captured
trenches.
''Some idea of the effect on the mo-
rale of our troops may be gained
from the expression Of a Canadian
colonel who, when I was calling on
his troops, said they had become very
chesty since they had taken part in
the raids. It is seldom that more than
a battalion take part in a raid. Some
idea of their success may be gained
ct that in a whole series
Of raids our total Of missing was only
100. Some Of these were dead or
wounded whom it was impossible to
bring back.
1--WE are now capturing Germans of
all ages, including both extremes of
the seventeen to- sixty now being en-
forced as the age limits in the Ger
man army. While It would not be
safe to say that deterioration of the
German army has become general. 1t
can be said that the prisoners show
marked evidence Of such decline, and
the fact that they have abandoned
villages without attempting to defend
them confirms this impression
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-02-16

the submarine war can be successful
against England within three months,
that, in any event, it is a powerful
arm for immediate and continual use
until the war is ended, consequently
1t will be used for all it is worth.
TheAmilitary situation in Germany
according to the same source Of in
formation, is regarded as beginning
to be affected by the exhaustion of
man power. Every man in the coun-
try between the ages Of Is and rs,
has been gathered for the army.
Workmen within those ages have
been replaced by men physically I'M
fit for active service or below or be-
yond the age limits.
100000 Germans Dead.
The German losses in dead, official
ly placed by the last public announce
ments as having reached slightly be-
yond 100000 officers and men, are,
according to cautious estimates, 3OO,-
900 or 100000 beyond that figure.
The sanitary service of the German
army has been very good, and be-
cause Of this a high percentage of
wounded sailors have been able to
return to the active army. Yet the
number of permanently disabled
among the wounded probably will
bring the irrep1aceab1e losses con-
siderably beyond the 100000 mark.
(. The real reason for the deportation
OF Belgians, the American arrivals
say, appears to be that General Won
Ludendorff's schemes preconceived
the retirement from the greater part
of France and Belgium to shorter
lines if forced to do so by the Of
fensive this year of the Entente AL
lies
