houses to send out their catalogues to
the people and advertise In the news
papers and magazines, 1t is equally
good for the farmer to bring to the
attention Of the consuming public bin
wares.
A striking demonstration OF what
publicity and exploitation will do IL
sensibly handled can be found In the
several patent medicines that are In
favor throughout the country. This
business has been built in hat way
Thousands of people we're never aware
OF the fact that they possessed liver
and that sometimes 1t got out or
whack until they read all about 1t In
the medicine pamphlet, and how those
little pills would correct all Of the
trouble and make that eld liver better
than 1t was at first.
The Grown In Mississippi cam.
paign was nothing but slight begin.
ming to awaken the people OF our state
to the necessity of using hone prod
ucts as far as possible and letting the
fellow on the outside know how COED
they were and why he should use
them in his home. The Exposition of.
fers many times over the opportunity
of making the other fellow buy and
use what we can grow and insure
reasonable market for 1t.
Other states have done this, and 1t
is almost criminal that our people
have not done likewise. We are en-.
titled to fair chance and reason
able price for our stuff, but II some
thing is not done to create a demand
for it, is goes without saying that we
must rock along and barely exist, while
other PEOPLE are doing we'll and en-
joying tie best there is In nie.
1t is duty the husband owes his
wife and family and that all good ctti-
rightfully theirs and let the conmun-
Sty and state profit thereby.
II we are to have good ROADS,
good schools. good churches ana
good homes and give to cur children
some of the advantages of nfe in fair
community, 1t Is tnpcr ratavs that az
gressive action be tax a along the
lines indicated.
Half a million Mississip ,fang win
visit the Exposition and stuGy the ex-
hibits and demonstration shown there.
It will afford the greatest opIortun-
ity Of a lifetime for creating an In
terest and enthusiasm for the many
progressive movements being cam
paigned for In the state.
The Exposition management is anx-
ious to join hands with the people In
every movement that will help to I'M
prove general conditions. 1t is an
other organization in the state OF Mis-
sissippi to aid those already doing so
much that is really helpful to all OF
the people.
It Is safe to repeat that tho man
who always waits for something to
turn up never has any turnips. If the
farmers Of Mississippi ever expect to
create a demand and a market for
their products they must make de-
termined and energetic campaign to
that end. The national and statee gov
ernments are helping, but there Is
something for the people to do as we'll.

g.!!yl HAS HANDSOME
SCHOOL BUILDING
Kiln, Miss, Jan. 27.

y
We are glad that we have this OPP
portunity to express ourselves, for "from
& the abundance of the mouth the heart
! speaketh.''
Kiln Consolidated School is situated
fourteen miles from Bay st. Louis, sur
rounded as it is, by fine agricultural
country, and having many progressive
farmers the continued prosperity of the
| village seems assured.
The school as consolidated school,
entered its first annual session Novem-
Der 4, 1916. We are fortunate in hav-
| ing able trustees who believe in doing
| things in an up-to-date and most ap-
proved manner.
On the north side of Main street
stands our new school building. 1t is
| located in the forepart of a ten -acre
campus, which is almost level. having a
central elevation of about SIX inches.
This campus is bounded on one side by
a street; on three sides by tall, stately
yellow leaf pines.
Let US approach the building from
{ he front by means OF a concrete walk
(under construction). Looking for
ward we see large two-story frame
building, whose outside is painted a
beautiful grey stone color and whose
front walls are divided into twenty-sev
Ell large windows. Just before enter
ing the main entrance we pass sapf-
tary water fountain on the right. AS
we pass inside We perceive two commo-
dious cloak rooms, one on each side.
From the entrance hall we pass into
the mail hall extending through the
center of the building. Here we may
feast our eyes on the walls, which are
painted beautiful shade. between a
snow white and creamy tint and cell :
ing and wainscoating of lovely shade
of mahogany finish. On two sides of
this hallway are five spacious class
rooms.
Let US ascend the stairways at either
end and pass into an auditorium which
lis equipped with opera and folding
chairs to seat five hundred. In the front
of the auditorium is large stage. At
one end of the stage is music room;
and at the other the laboratory, and be-
lind tie atage are two doors opening
into hallway.
To this add electric lights, hot air
heating system, electric bells and mod
ern equipments of class rooms and you
will have an idea of our home during
school hours.
Our literary societies are doing splen-
did work and the seniors are working
diligently on play, which is to be
giveu during January.
Our basket ball boys are getting in
fine trim. They played Logtown Sat
urday week and were defeated, but
three of the best players were absent,
and we hope that the next game will
bring victory to our boys. We have
also organized a girls team and the
members will soon be ready for game.
Listen! and you will soon hear more
from Kiln.

The grounds Of the Mississippi Elk
position are by far more beautiful In
their natural state than any of Its
kind in former years. Oaks that are

stantial truth:

PROUD OF is-cENT TUBERs
pennsyIvanIa Farmer Who MInlmIxed
Potato Cost, Produces Some
Real Whoppers.

Doylestown, Pa.-Farmer Edward,
Chittick Of Plumstead township. who
raised 269 bushels Of potatoes on an
acre Of ground at 10 cents a busbeI
brought some real "taters" to the com,
ty seat of Bucks, exhibiting "Mur.
phys" that averaged a pound each, to
show what kind he raised-and they
were whoppers.
Thirty-One potatoes filed q half
bushel basket heaping full. One after
another a dozen were measured, and
they were fairly uniform in length.
Most Of them measured six inches
across. They weighed about a pound
apiece, and Mr.. Chittick says he had
some that tipped the scales at one III d
three-quarters pounds.
Mr.. Chittick admits that he may
have been a little low In some Of his
expense items; but 1t was very little.
He did nearly all the work himself,
and consequently the cost was less
than If he had to hire the kind of la
Dor most farmers must. The United
States survey figures, he says, show
that he was not much too low on his
labor cost. AS for cutting potatoes,
he says he can cut ten bushels with
a knife in half a day; but he keeps
right down to business.
