Miss Margaret Wilson to
 Give Concert in Columbus

Columbus, Miss, May 9.--(Special. )--Pa- triotic songs by Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter of the President will feature the programme which is to mark the rais- ing of a flag which is to be presented to the city of Columbus by the Shu-ka-ta Tom-a-ha Daughters of the American Revolution, and which is to be hosted to the breezes next Thursday.
 Miss Wilson is giving a series of con certs ill some of the leading cities of the country for the benefit of the American Red Cross society, and while few places as small as Columbus are included in her itinerary, she was induced to come here because students of the Mississippi In- dustrial Institute and college which is located here, have evinced so much in- terest in Red Cross work and in general preparedness for war. Not only has a Red Cross training class been organized at that institution, but the 900 young la dies comprising the student body have formed a regiment and daily engage in military maneuvers.
 The flag will be presented to the city by Mrs Frank c. Owen. president of the Shu-ka-ta Tom-a-ha chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, and will be accepted behalf of the municipality by Mayor w. c. Gunter. Other features of the programme will be an address by J. F. Frierson, member of the local bar. on patriotic songs by students of the Mississippi Industrial Institute and College

 ''The war will, certainly compel a re- adjustment" pr. Griggs continued, ''oi all our philosophy of life; at bottom, il is testing out of democracy; the prob lem upon us Is whether free men by voluntary cooperation can develop ef- ficiency and endurance equal to that pro- duced in an autocratic empire where everything is done paternally from the top. If democracy cannot meet this test, it will give way to some other form of society; if it can meet it victoriously, then we may hope that democracy will be the form of society throughout the world for the next centuries"
 tAs people we have turned too much to superficial political devices," said pr. Griggs. we are stin in the patent med icine period of politics. The notion every where is, if anything is the matter with us, just pass another law. And we have thus developed a mass of i'll considered legislation, which after all can do very little in solving moral problems. If we are to carry our opportunity of democ- racy through successfully, we must real ize that 1t is not merely a series of po- litical devices, but fundamentally a way of life. Thus it must be combined with business, industry, science and art In an autocracy, everything is done to make people sacrifice themselves for the state: In democracy, we do not believe that man exists Cor the state, but that the state, like any other institution. exists for man. This does not mean that we should fail to sacrifice ourselves for something higher"

LARGE SHIPMENT OF TREES
SHIPPED FROM FORESTRY

A shipment OF tie cuttings, aggre-
eating 350,000, was sent out from the
School Of Agriculture and Forestry
last Friday. The entire shipment was
loaded onto six wagons and an auto
truck, making in all seven big wagon
loads. It is the biggest shipment ev-
er sent out at one time from the
school and by all odds bigger than
any tree shipment made at any one
time in the northwest.
That the work Of the state institu-
tion is becoming generally recognized
in the matter of furnishing tree seed
lings is evidenced from the fact that
this shipment included orders from
practically every county in the state.
Large express shipments were also
made on Monday and Tuesday, the ex-
press car being almost loaded full on
both days.
Most of the trees shipped out were
of the box elder variety, these appear
ing to be the most popular. Pres.
Smith is somewhat worried over sup
plying the demand for next year, as
the school was unable to secure any
box elder seed for last year with
which to supply seedlings for next
years orders.

LYNX ATTACKS MEN IN
FIELD AT WHITE FARM

Two of Arthur Whites farm hands
at Meadowlawn Farm had rather an
exciting time Of it the other day when
they were attacked by a large sized
lynx while at work in the fields.
The beast actually attacked one of
the men, who only saved himself by
jumping onto the back of one of the
horses. The lynx then got in front
OF the horses and attempted to pre-
vent the escape. He managed to get
away, however, and both Of the boys
hurried away as fast as the horses
could carry them.
At a neighb6rs they secured assist
ance and some weapons and returned
to the scene, but by that time the ami
NAL had managed to get out of sight
and all efforts at locating it were in
vain.
While the lynx is vicious animal
it does not as rule attack human
being until cornered. There is consid-
cradle excitement in Whitby township
over the affair and likely will be until
the beast is finally shot.

Will STOCK
MOUSE RIVER
State Game and Fish Board Plans to
Plant Fish in Loop
Stream.

Minot, May 6.-John H. Bloom of
Devils Lake, the newly appointed
state fish commissioner, is in the city
today making preliminary survey
of the Mouse river and the lakes in
this portion of the state for the pur-
pose of stocking these waters with
fish. Mr.. Bloom, in speaking Of the
fish commissioners work in the state
said:
"We propose to fill every stream
and lake and pond in the state with
fish if there is any chance in the world
that they will live. We do not in
tend to waste money, but as the
spawn costs little to provide most Of
this expense is shouldered by the fed
eral government which supplies al
most unlimited quantities of spawn
where there is any support from the
local officials, we intend to get all the
government will give.
"The rivers and other bodies of wa
ter in this state would support large
quantities of fish if they were once
stocked and some little attention were
given to the kind of fish which can
thrive in the different bodies of wa
ter. That is just what we are doing.
At this time an abundance of fish in
the state would have a considerable
bearing upon the food supply of the
people, besides providing variety
that is as pleasing to the taste as it is
appetizing to the stomach.
ave do not intend to make the fish
business in the state play thing, but
rather a business proposition in which
the waters and the food supply in
them which is now going to waste will
be utilized for food supplies. 1t is not
a sportsman's game entirely, but one
in which the entire people can have a
share.
"There is no reason why the Mouse
river, with it's sources in the far north
and fed by ice cold fountains, should
not be alive with fish. 1t is true that
the low stage of the water in the win
ter at some points in the channel
would have some effect upon the fish
life in the river, but little effort
will prevent smothering in the larger
pools of the water and the fish would
thrive on the abundance of food in
the water. The number of fish going
up the river in the spring freshets
prove that the river is the natural
habitat of the perch and pickerel and
if the waters are sufficiently stocked,
would become a great fish stream"
