WHAT BOYS AND GIRLS ARE
DOING IN OTHER STATES

A prominent Chicago newspaper, in
commenting upon the recent lnetrna'
tional Live Stock exposition, called
attention to the fact that the hero OF
the stock show was boy twelve
years old. Ralph Peak, of Winchester
Illinois, won the first annual inter
state boys and girls feeding contest
No one could dispute the wisdom o.
the judges when the boy led forth the
sleek baby steer which was adorned
with the blue ribbons. The second
place in the contest was taken by a
boy from Iowa; the seventh place by
a girl from Iowa, whose handled calf
was credit TO the care of his small
mistress. The youngest contestant
was George Peak. the tiny six-yearold
brother OF the blue ribbon winner
Twenty-eight boys and two girls took
part in the contest
While such a contest is. at present,
somewhat unique. it is hoped by all
interested in stock raising that the
particular feature encouraging child.
rem to participate is to remain a per
manent one. Experts of the stock
show hail with enthusiasm the new
era of child-competition in the indus
try of cattle raising,-Harriet Ship

SIZg OF FARMS DECREASED
BY INCREASED POPULATION

AS our country becomes more thick
ly populated, the size of the average
farm decreases. According TO the
census the average size of farms de-
creased from 146 acres in 1900 to
13S in 1910 With decrease in size
of the average farm, the average
value of all crops per farm has in
creased from s52S to sS63 This diff
ference in price is largely the result
of more extensive methods of farm
ing. AS time goes on the size of the
average farm will gradually decrease,
and land values will increase. To off

upon the uselessness of protest, and |
save their grief. Contrariwise, it is
open to everybody to flatter sorrow
by immersing himself in it. For
some. a saucerful is sufficient.
Introspection has at least a dual
personality. 1t may brood or it may
analyze. 1t may habitually look TO.
the inner woes, and people the soul
with troop of shades; or it may
put hopes, disappoiutments and
qualities in something like their nor
nal relations. and thus serve both as
a toner down of citation and pallia-
tive of grief. 1t is diiicult-ndeed,
il is impossible-for the outsider to
know whether resistance to unhap-
piness, therefore, is due to unappre-
citation or to appreciation in its most
complete and intelligent form. Some
people are ducks backs. Others are
sleeves.
1t is a human popularity to main
tain faith in ones surprising abili-
lty to suffer Each mortal admires
his own capacity for feeling. No
! flattery is more engaging than that
which pretends to recognize such ca
pacity. The lover talks, with high
inspiration, about his sweetheart's
depth of soul; and she, who there
[ fore had never perceived fully her
own attribute, at once is convicted
of ridiculous modesty, Emotion
grants its most excellent crown to
him who experiences the most unut-
terable sadness. Every person adj
mires the martyrs, and dies with
them delciously at intervals.
Nevertheless, it is a fine thing to
be able to compel happiness. To
him who can turn resolutely away
from that which represents failure in
great aspirations, and face again with
cheer and hopefulness the east. much
has been given. His determination
bestuws upon him any number of
rising suns. He may not so soon
wear a halo but his head itself will
rest with a greater security

day for indianapolis, Ind. While in
in the northern city, Mr.. Miller will
be the guest of his son, Flournoy Mil
Ter, leading actor. The companies
conducted by Flournoy Miller do not
come further south than Cincinnati,
hence Mr.. Miller, who is typical
southerner and seldom leaves south
ern territory has never had the
pleasure of seeing his son perform.
1t has been the promise of the son
that when he was booked far enough
south for his father to reach him,
he would send for him, so Saturday
morning a wire came to Mr.. Miller
stating that the company was booked
for indianapolis at the Keith House
and Mr.. Miller went up to see him.

MILK AND ICE FUND COMMITTEE
FORMED.
Women Told of the Suffering of Poor
Children by Dr.. Hibbett, Head of
Health Department-Mrs
Haynes, Chairman.

An appeal which struck a respon-
sive cord in the hearts of many of the
prominent women of Nashville was
answered on Tuesday afternoon, when
large number gathered in the lee
ture room at the Carnegie Library
to listen to DR.. Hibbett, head of the
Health department of the City Of
Nashville, tell of the need and suffer
ing of the babies in the poor families
in Nashville.
The meeting was called to order
by Mrs. Elizabeth Ross Haynes, as
temporary chairman. Prayer was Of
fored by DR.. Mcdowell, pastor of the
First Baptist Church, Eighth avenue,
North Dr.. Elibbett was introduced
by Mrs. Haynes and in well chosen
words told of the conditions which
made 1t necessary for the appeal for
funds in order that babies born in
poor families might have nourish-
ment. He stated that formerly the
city had appropriated between two
and three thousand dollars for this
fund, while this year it had appropri-
modus operandi of this fund DR.. Hib-
bett had it distinctly understood that
there was no color line drawn Blu that
any mother and baby needing nour-
ishment who made application for the
same was helped, and in many cases
the statistical record kept at the
Board of Health Office showed that
in some months the colored babies
were supplied more milk than chill
dren of other races, although the pro-
portion of children of other races to
Colored children was two to one. He
stated emphatically that conditions
arising from the war made it abso-
lutely necessary that the babies of the
races be safeguarded.
Mrs. Rosenfeld and Mrs. Schwartz
were present and outlined plans for
soliciting for the funds.
At the conclusion of the discussion
it was decided that in order to do the
work an organization should be
formed. Upon motion by Mrs. j. G..
Napier, seconded by Mrs. Brumfield
Mrs. Elizabeth Ross Haynes, the
temporary chairman was elected per-
manent chairman of the Milk and Ice
Fund Subcommittee. 1t was motioned
and seconded that the chairman be
allowed to name her committee. The
committee named was as follows:

man. Mrs. Cora Jordan White, secre-
tary; Mrs. A. N Johnson, treasurer;

THE HISTORY OF THE THREE
CENT STAMP.

Answering the call of mars, the
three cent purple stamp has come
forth to join the dance of the taxes.
Modest as the violet from which it
takes its color, it has been wall
paper stamp for many years. With
Jacsons head on it, it was first
issued in 1902. In 1908, Jackson's
head was succeeded by Washngton's,
but the color remained the same.
In 1858, three cent stamps, then a
blue green color, would carry half
ounce letter 5000 miles or less. In
1888, the element OF distance was
abolished, and three cents would car
ry a letter to any part of the United
States. In 1873 the rate was reduc-
ed to two cents and the three cent
stamp became only an occasional Wis
itor. The first two cent stamp in
general use was a red brown color,
and bore Wasington's face.

MRS. NAPIER CALLS
EXPERIENCE MEETING

"A very interesting meeting OF
Monday afternoon at the Carnegie
Library was the one called by Mrs.
]. C. Napier, chairman of the AuXili-
airy to the Council Of National De-
Tense. Mrs. Napier was chairman
of the Colored Division of Regis
trars on the recent successful Regis
tration Day, and it was due to her
efforts that the WORK among the
women eliminated in such a glorious
success.
Having been very busy with 9TH
err very important social and civic
matters, Mrs. Napier had not the
opportunity previously of calling the
ladies together to hear their expert
ences and thank them personally for
their efforts.
The meeting was called to order
with Mrs. Napier in the chair. Mrs
NJ. H. Flowers, Manager of the Fire
side School, prayed an earnest and
fervent prayer.
Mrs. Napier spoke very feelingly
of the part she played In the work
dealing delicately with several dis
couraging phases which doomed be
fore when she took charge and grew
eloquent when she recounted the ex
periences in which success began tC
crown her efforts. Each of the
many registrars present recounted
their experiences some pathetic
some humorous. Mrs. Scott, wife Of
Bishop I. B Scott led and Mrs. Les
ter, wife of DR.. J. A.. Lester CLOSED
this interesting discussion.
At the conclusion Of Mrs. Testers

women and children of many of thu
men who are in the military service
of the country. Mrs. Lester had per
sonally investigated this matter ant
her plea was very forceful. Mrs
Napier sanctioned Mrs. Testers in
terest in this work and promised II
look into the matter. When TN
meeting closed each member pres
