Counties and municipalities will be
invited to participate on the basis Of

exhibits to be enclosed in beautifully
designed glass cases to be placed in
the Mississippi building. BY this
means an exhibit will last for years,
being protected from damage by dust

can be made at any time desired and
the exhibit kept up to the standard.

The Fall Of Bagdad

Bagdad's capture marks the eli
max to one of the most dramatic
and picturesque phases of the
World-war. The city which has
fallen to British arms links the
present to a parst so distant that
it is semi.fabulous. The known
history OF Bagdad reaches back
for more than 1000 years to the
shadowy times Of King Nebuchad
scriptural monarch will existing
submerged in the Tigris. Within
its precincts also there still stands
the t1mbs OF the Jewish prophets
Joshua, Ezra and Ezekiel, and the
we'll OF Daniel.
Long after the Babylonian dy-
nasty had ceased to be more than
a memory Bagdad rose to splond-
or as the artistic, literary, scienti-
fic and religious capital of the
world. The heart of the IsIamic
empire of the Callps for hundreds
OF years, 1t was known through
ouS the world as "the glorious
city" and was the scene of the fan
tastic exploits Of Haroun AL Ras-
hid, the potentate whose magni-
fcence is immortalized in the Ar
abian Nights.
In 1900 B. 9. Bagdad was cred
tied with a population of 100000
souls, and was easily the first city
in the world in wealth commerce.
With the fall Of the calips before
the Turkish sultans the decline OF
-
Bagdad commenced. 1t was sue
cessivetly the prey OF Turks, Mon
gols, Tartars and Persians, but it
was not until 1888 that the city be
anne definitely a part of the Tur.
kish empire.
Its ancient Importance was larg
ely due to the fact that it stood al
the center Of the lines of commun.
ication between India and Persia,
and the west, but the opening ot
new routes by of Trebizond and
through Armenia diverted its trade
and was a vital factor IN its decline

Jim will Explain

what sort Of an explanation do
you suppose Senator Vardaman
will make to the people Of Missis-
sippi for his recent traitorOus ac-
tion?" asks a subscriber.
, 1t is our guess that Jim won't
do much in planning at the cen
ters of population where the af-
fairs at Washington.
But when jim gets out where
the tall grasses grow, where the
redneck reigneth and the lowbrow
Aourisheth, he surely is going to
tell them a lot Of things,
First and foremost, Jim will tell
the hornyhanded sons Of toll how,
almost single-handed and alone,
he kept them being called to war;
of how. battling against overwhel-
ming odds, he actually stopped a
threatened war between the Unit
ed States and Germany; of how
the muntion manufacturers, the
predatory, plutocrats, and the se1-
fish, sinister and pernicious inter
ests OF Wall street, were banded
togther in an unholy compact to
force US into uniustifable conflict
and he alone, Of all the members
Of the great deliberative body at
Washington, had the courage and
determination to prevent it.
And then J m after several
shakes of his shaggy name, will
tell them that eternal vigilance is
the price Of liberty; that beyond
the Alps lies Italy; that a stitch in
saves nine; that God reigns and
the Government in Washington
still lives, and also sic semper ty.
rannus, eplurbus unum. He will
spout forth several stanzas of poe.
try, without even pausing to men
ton who wrote the aforesaid poems
pay an eloquent tribute to the
soldiers Of the Confederacy, men.
ton his heroic service in Cuba,
winding up with a tribute to wo'
men, our glorious women, God
bless 'em, and it will be all right

How To Set A Hen

AS the time approaches for the
hen to become broody OF sit, il
care is taken to look into the nest,
it will be seen that there are a
few soft, downy feathers being left
there by the hen; also the hen stays
longer on the nest when laying at
this time, and on being approach
ed will quite likely remain on the
nest, making a clucking noise,
rufflin he feathers, anc pecking
at the intruder. When it is noted
that a hen sits on the nest from
two to three nights in succession,
and that most Of the feathers are
gone from her breast which should
feel hot to the hand, she is ready
to be transferred to a nest which
has been prepared for her before
hand, according to the poultry
specialists of the United States De
partment of Agriculture. The
normal temperture of a hen is
from 106" to 1919 f., which varies
slightly during incubation.
Dust the hen thoroughly with
insect powder, and in applying the
powder hold the hen by the feet,
the head down, working the powd
er we'll into the feathers, giving
special attention to regions around
the vent and under the wings.
The powder should also be sprin-
kled in the nest.
The nest should be in some quiet
out-of,the-way place, where the
sitting hen will not be disturbed
Move her from the regular laying
nest at night and handle her care
fully in doing so. Put a china egg
or two in the nest where she is to
sit, ana place a board over the
opening so that she can not get
off. Toward the evening of the
second day quietly 90 in where
she is sitting, leave some feed and
water, remove the board from the
front or top of the nest, and let the
hen come off when she is ready
Should she return to the nest after
feeding, remove the china egg OF
eggs and put under those that are
to be incubatod. If the nest arc
slightly darkened the hens are
less likely to become restless. Al
Matching they should be confined
and not be disturbed until tn hatcl
is completed, unless they become
restlesss, when it may be best tc
remove the chicks that are hatch
ed first, In cool weather it is best
not to put more than 10 eggs un
der a hen, while later in the spring
one can put y or Is, according tC
the size of the hen.
