Before another issue of the Sheaf
reaches its readers the old year with
all it's memories will have been laid
away in the sepulchre Of time and the
New Year 1913 with all it's possibilities
will have been ushered in. The year
now drawing to close has been a
memorable one and will always figure
in history by reason Of certain great
events, among which the liberation of
Russia from autocratic rule, the entry
of the United States into the world
war, the Italian reverse, the fall Of
Jerusalem and the submission of. a
prohibition amendment to the con-
stitution of the United States stand / 6 gut
prominently
But 1918 may hold in store still
greater events that will shape the
history and affect humanity for veal
or woe. =
Next year.this time? What does Ehe
future hold? Perhaps we too will find
our nation -in the agony of grief over
the sons VITO have been lost, perhaps
our Homes, will be darkened by absent
hearts that beat no more, and loved
ones will spend next year in sorrowful
reflection upon the souls of loved ones
depaFted4'e'lIt may be so and vet who
knows? Next Christmas may see peace
and quiet reign and happy reunions
among war torn families Or if it :be
not SO, then perhaps the next or the
next &: :
War sometime will end. When, we
are not given to tell, but let each Amer
ican thank God, that while the nation
girds. it's arms and young men prepare
tosgive their all, with mothers weep
ing, sisters signing and sweethearts
crying, there is in the midst of it all
the supreme desire that others will
have no such peril to endure, no such
period to face, and that our sacrifice
will mean deliverance to them from the
thrall Of national ambitions and un-
godly wars.
May 1913 be good to all the people
of the world.

Collars of Various Sorts.

Our varied collars are of many sorts
and Inspirations, and we can trace
them to widely separated places and
times. If one has beauty, or the right
style, oddities in collars may be worn,
but they are not for everybody. The
Chinese collar and the Medic fashion
are only for the few who can carry
them off. But the cape collar and the
sailor collar seem to fit in with every
style, and they have been presented in
mending variety of designs. Along
with round, turnover collars and ja-
bots they keep the makers of neckwear
busy.
Collars and collar-and-cuff sets Of
organdie find themselves important
items in the makeup of midsummer
frocks and blouses.' Whether of silk
or cotton, but more especially when
made of silk, these dresses are hardly
considered complete without the in
PRODUCTION of organdie at throat and
waist Blouses of other cotton fab
RIGS rely upon the crispness of organ
die to complete their daintiness and
appropriate collars and cuffs of it.
Two of the new collars are shown
In the accompanying picture. One of
them is trimmed into points at the
back and finished at the edge with a
very narrow edge of cluny. Tatting or
tine crochet edgings make the pref
uest sort of trimming for collars of
this kind. Each point is weighted with
pair of small prudent balls in crochet
and medallion of lace about the size
of a hslfdollar is set in the material
above euch point. Homemade me-
dallions and edgings and handwork in

Scalp Tonic.

When the scalp is hard and tight and
the hair brittle and lusterless, one of
the most valuable aids in restoring the
healthy tone of the scalp is made by
blending carefully beef marrow with
tablespoonful of good olive oil. This
tonic will not be found any more
greasy or Objectionable than any simi-
lar preparation containing oils or
grease. Small partings of the hair
should be made all over the scalp, then
anoint the finger tips and apply di-
rectly to the scalp, rubbing it in thor

New Features in Taffeta FroCks.

Just a glance at the chic twopiece
'rock of taffeta, shown in the picture
lbove, might lead to the conclusion
hat there is nothing unusual about it..
1t conforms to the straight silhouette
md the vaguely defined waistline that
are characteristic of the smartest
frocks. But the practiced eyes of the
critic of clothes will never dismiss this
dress with a glance. 1t abounds with
Hell-eXecuted new touches that arrest
the attention and the design succeeds
n placing itself as one of the most un-
usual and satisfactory of the seasons
showings.
1t is made of chiffon taffeta with
sleeves of georgette which is a famil-
ar enough combination, practical and
cool. Added to these fabrics, satin fur
nishes the collar and cuffs and emplace-
ments on the sash ends.
The skirt is plain, with the fullness
about the waist gathered in at the sides
and the back. 1t is belted with broad
yirdle at the front and two narrow ones
across the back. They button at the
side. The belt is of the taffeta and the
skirt is practical for wear with thin
blouses in the warmest weather.
The jacket Is designed to have the
effect of smart slip-over coats and

making the collars add much to their
elegance.
A very deep cape collar with wide
hemstitched hem is shown in the Sec
ond picture. 1t is narrow at the front,
but falls to the waistline at the back.
In each corner, eyelet work is intro
duced in the three small circles
grouped together.
The advantage of organdie in collars
is its sheeriness and crispness and the
success with which it stands launder

front of the neck. Here it is finished
with three pearl buttons at each side
and three loops of silk cord simulat-
ing a fastening. The real fastening is
accomplished by buttons and button
holes at the left side along the under
arm seam. This mode of fastening
makes it necessary to set the sleeves in
light underbodice. The sleeves are
full and their fullness is gathered into
deep, pointed cuffs of taffeta at the
wrist The turn-back cuffs of wash
satin are detachable like the collar and
they are trimmed in points to corre-
spond with the cuffs of tatfeta. Core
spending points at the front of the col
lar improve it's shape and make an ade-
quate position for the button fastening
which is placed there.
The girdle is a doubled strip of silk
long enough to loop over and fall in
sash ends at the front. The pointed
ends of the sash are emphasized and
brought into harmony with the jacket
by finish of the wash satin. Almost
any of the seasons fashionable shades
might be chosen for this dress with the

JUDGE MILLING
TALKSOFFALSE
IMPRESSlONOF
STATE BOARD
Criticises Paper for Max
ing Incorrect
Statements.
TAX NOT OVER so PER
CENT OF VALUATION.
Board Doing the Best It Can
To Equalize the
Taxes.

Judge T. NJ. Milling, of the State
Board of Affairs, spoke at the court
house Wednesday at II a. M, to
!, citizens and members of the Police
Jury
He said there was to lbe no flowery
speaking, but plain statement of
facts, in the discussion of a dis
agreeable matter, in order to convey
the ideas he wished to convey. The
papers of the State were telling the
people things without having a
knowledge of what they were speak
ing about. That writer's should ac-
quaint themselves with the laws that
created the Board and the powers
given it. That it was necessary for
the board to have the good opinion
and cooperation of the peope in or
der to accomplish the work for which
it was created. That it should have
the confidence of the people until it
had failed to do what it should do.
That there was no attempt to dodge
responsibilities. The Board wished
to cooperate with the Police Juries
throughout the State in carrying out
the intent of the law in equallzing
taxes. That if the Police Juries fail
ed of their duty they could block
this effort at equalization. That
the intent was to reduce the taxes, if
possible, by placing land on the rolls
that had not been on them and by
correcting the glaring inequalities in
assessments.
Judge Milling recited instances
where lands adjoining and of the
same value were assessed, one for
$40 per acre and the other for SIG;
in another instance, one for $3.50
per acer and another for 81; an inn
mense amount not assessed at all.
He said that it would be difficult
matter for the board to accomplish
all that should he done. 1t might
not 'be done this year. In fact, that
it could not be done this year. That
it might take three or four years to
do it. To get the benefits anticipat-
ed would require the cooperation OF
the people, the local authorities and
the passage of acts by the legisla-
ture.
The matter was difficult to handle
because everybody had constitu-
tional objection to paying taxes, be-
cause while every one was benefited,
the results were not tangible But

PLANS FOR KILNS
FOR KEEPING
POTATOES

The following extract from a let
ter from Congressman J. Y. Sanders
gives some Information that should
be valuable to the farmers and all
who are planting sweet potatoes:
Washington, May Z, 1917.
Mr.. d. H. Mason, Covington, La.
"My Dear Mr.. Mason:-Your let
ter of the Sd, in which you ask me
about the details on the subject OF
dry kiln for sweet potatoes just re-
ceived. The State Agri-
cultural Department is getting out q
bulletin which you can get by writ
ing to Mr.. Wilson. BY writing to
the Mississippi College, Meridian.
Miss, you can get some very valu-
able information. The Internation-
al Harvester people, of Chicago, also
get out a valuable bulletin on this
subject.
''There is no secret in putting up
a dry kiln. 1t should be a building,
tight, with a passageway down the
center, running north and south,
with racks on each side, built hOrt-
zontally, about two feet apart. This
building should be made, say 16 feet
wide, feet passageway, and as long
as a person wants, within reason,
with a space for a stove in the CEN
ter. and a cupola, or air passage, in
the roof, with transom window
looking south.
Gin gathering potatoes they should
be hauled direct from the field to the
kiln, and as soon as the kiln is full.
a fire should be built in the stove,
the kiln closed up, and temperature
kept between 100 and 11O for, say,
10 days, at the end Of which time
the potatoes are cured. They Will
then keep indefinitely.
"Yours very truly,
~. Y. SANDERS.'

The important part now is popular
education that will show the great
need of the work in hand. The free
moving pictures that will be put on
at the Parkview Theatre May %, at
3:15 for the children's matinee, and
8:15 for adults, is a part of this edu-
cation. The police jury of this par

It is money worthily spent, for there
could be no greater responsibility
than that Of relieving the suffering
of those who are mentally deficient
or threatened with insanity, and the
care and treatment of the insane is
an obligation that can not be put
aside in q civilized country. The
work deserves the support of every
one.
