It Is very simple and very easy to make, with a tucl, in each front over the shoulder to provide pretty fullncss. The tullncss is held by the belt.

Civil or unGvil as you may please to
call it. Twill be SO as never before
after the Great World war now
raging YES. we frankly admit that
the IA d III n stra ion ought to
have strong support during the
war. but not to the point of complete
obliteratioa of all differences OF O.
pinion There should be kept at
Washington some men of tail enough
timber to dare and do, when they
see according to there best Fights,
policies determined upon that time
will prove unwise, as has turned out
so much with Great Britain IN the
prosecution of her part of such war.
Her administration mistakes are said
to haye cost thousands and thousand
of needless lives OF sacrifice and in
way where the boys in the trenches
could not help themselves, as once in
the army or navy they are bound
hand and foot TO obey orders and
in the words of the famous poem
MOI reason why, but to do and die .
Men OF that caIibre may temporarily
weld their objections to adminlstra-
ton measures in the common good,
but great and fearless mind can
be kept ALWAYS in restraint. We do
not favor needless haggling auy more
than obseq Nous boot licking. but we
do favor calm fearlessly tempera-
mented type of man up there who
has an original thought occasional of
his own Some have not had one of
that KIDD in years il at all since they
were sent; are mere borrowers, APP
perpetrators and mental thieves and
opportunities, Let the people keep
cool out yet look carefully after their
interests at this point despite the
war situation.

Prepare For The Fall Garden.

Southern Ruralist.
Our experience has shown that
the best way 70 prepare for the fall
garden is to pillow the land very Shall
low, run ming barely deep enough to
get under the grass The plowing
should be done closely, so as to cut
every zach of the ground. Then har-
row with a straightforward harrow
in the middle of the day, This will
drag out and kill the larger part of
the grass. AS soon as this dies, go
in with three inch shovel cultiva.
tor Set the cutivator out pretty
wide, and work the land across the
way it was plowed; then harrow a.
gain and let the grass die. Then if
you cross break the lard with four
inch scooter and single stock, and
harrow again, aud you will have your
land in excellent condition for plant
ing.

EDITORIAL

The recent decision Of the supreme
court of the state Of Mississippi sus-
tanning the constitutionality OF the
Home Printing BILL has encouraged
the publishers of the state great Y.
Thew along with the printing crafts
labored hard to secure such legisla
ton atthe last session of the legis-
lature and many of them have been
very much upset to observe the gross
violations and evasions OF the law
practiced by one of the he foreign
mammoth printing houses under a
pretensive Mississippi name. The
Herald has never expected the bene-
fits from such bill that some have,
but we believe it Is helping a great
manv of the newspaper plants of the
state, and for that reason, its good as
1t gives business that. ought to stay at
home where done al a reasonable
price, to local establishments that are
taxpayers and workers for the com
mon, good of the county and
state.

Yellow Weeds Makes The Milk Bitter

Chronicle Gala CAL.
Mrs. J S. Lyon makes this sug.
gestian and it is a good one, and
should be acted on. Now, when we
are all striving to save all the food
we can in every way is a good time
to count the cost OF letting the vel
low weeds grow Every spring,
while these weeds are short and the
COWS get them, We have to throw a.
way much milk in Chronicle because
oil the bitter taste these weeds give
TO b. They do not grow to any
g reat extent out in the country-it
is only in town where they are bad.
A few years oil care IN keeping them
down would quite generally get the
town free OF them How about act
ing on this suggestion and acting
now.

Every citizen of the rural com
munity should feel that it is privi-
lege for him to have part 10 every
good move for education and general
progress. Each should be anxious
to do what he can to help advance
the community. The community is
entitled to some time and money.
No one has right to get the protec-
ton of organized society without
contributing in turn to the people
who make this protection possible.
la addition to the laws of the land
land the duties of state and national
government, each citizen owes some
thing TO the neighborhood in which
he lives. There are social require
nents that should not be overlooked.
There are enterprises for the benefit
of the neighborhood that Will re-
quire contributions in labor or mon
ey. Usually when all do their part
these enterprises have tendency to
build up the neighborhood in socia-
bihty and nelghborly kindness.
Only those. who refuse to do their
part lose. Willingness TO do, and in

of the contribution, will be the esti-
mate The satisfaction one has in
contributing his time and means to
help others is indeed great reward.
And we cannot afford to deprive our
selves ourselves of this reward be-.
cause our income is not great or our
contribution small

A MESSAGE FROM THE RED
CROSS.

From August Number Harpers Bazaar
Mrs. Belmont Tiffany has written
for the August issue of Harper's Ba-
Ear a very interesting article on "A
Message from the American Red
Cross to the Women of America. :"
She especially mentions the part
that women of society are taking in
this great work, and also tells of the
organizations rapid growth since
the war began in 1914.
Mrs. Tiffany explains very clearly
the different functions OF the Red
Cross; for instance, this is what she
says about the Department of Civil
ian Relief
Perhaps tins not generally known
by persons not familiar with the
work that the Red Gross has De-
partment of Civilian Relief, with
which the Department OF Relief CO.
ordinates and cooperates. In other
words, the Red Gross is responsible
for relief OF all kinds for our own
army and navy and is chartered to
take care not ONLY of the sick and
wounded soldiers, out of all who
need aid OF any sort. 1t is also re-
qnired to take care of and look after
the dependent families. but of all
who need aid of any sort. 1t is also
required to take care of and look af-
ter the dependent families and chill
dren of the United States Army and
Navy. All over the country we are
dong civilian relief work."

Everything Is Sky High To Editor

Starksville News.
When you have read through this
issue of the paper Just take time
nough to let one fact sink into your
active brain The paper on which
this issue was printed has cost us
approximately double what it cost us
two years ago. The ink we used is
away up in price. The oil that keeps
the press revolving is up in price.
The power that moves the machinery
already high. In fact. every item of
expense is up 10 the clouds and many
are away above them, and every dol
lar of expense means just that a.
mount of money right out of our
pocket. A great many of our sub
.,cribers are in arrears on subscrip-
ton, and we need that money in or
der to meet tie rapidly increasing
COST OF producing this paper. 1t is
Simply thoughtlessness on your part,
we know, but our own creditors do
not recognize that word. 1t don t
go with them for an instant.

Why we Are At War.

Southern Agriculturist.
Some people think this world is
big enough to hold anything. 1t is
not Any number OF things could
be men toned which it has NOT room
for. Certainly 1t is not. big enough
to hold the nation the United States
of America aspires to be. This ma
tion is, as Lincoln said, republic
dedicated to the proposition that all
men are free and equal. Despite all
it's failures and shortcomings it a.
spires to develop along these lines
to become more democratic nation
as it become a greater nation; To lead
other nations, by the force of its ex-
ample, to become free and strong
and self-sustaining. With all it's rec.
ord OF wars and conflicts, it's ideal is
peace The one thing it values more
than peace is justice. The German
Empire is the last great stronghold
okthe doctrine of divine rights, of
thNbelief that some men are APP
pointed by God to rule over the rest
of mankind. 1t aspires, even as
Caesar and Genghis Khan and Ma
poleon aspired, to world domination.
1t is based on belief in force. For
two generations it has subordinated
everything to military efficiency.
The right of the German Empire to
dictate to other nations is an accepted
part of it's creed. The use of any
measure of force or brutality that
will enable it to do so is openly pro-
claimed as national policy. Two
such nations could not continue to
exist and to grow in a world no lar
ger than ours. A clash was inevita-
BILE. The world cannot remain half
democratic and half autocratic.

NO. 35. THRIFT AND OUR ATTITUDE
TOWARD LIFE.

By G. Howerton. Mississippi A s. M College.
Cpwper was at least human in his
notion that he would not number a.
mong his friends one who would need
lessly tread upon worm.
Solomon was as natural when he
said, The righteous man regards
the life Of his beast. =
Peter Cooper would not have ia
his employ any boy who was unkind
to livingthing.
The real biologist mustb be able to
say in his heart OF hearts: i love TO
SIZE things live and grow, and l love
to help things live aud grow.
Practically all children are innate
lovers lovers of every living thing,
aud only as they associate with
grown-ups do they become careless
of the life of living things.
Adam. our father, named his wife
Eve, because she was the mother of
all living This was Adam 5 monu-
ment to life. Like the father all we
love life.
Loving life and hating death we
Htively prepare for life and for
living. This was Adam monument
to Life. Like the father all we love
life. The ant even lays up in
store. This come from his love of
life. The bee industriously lays up
his sweets, protect; them against in
truders, ard thus prepares to
live.
If welearn those lessons we'll from
Nature, from lower animals and chill
dren, if we follow our Instincts, our
natural desires, Thrift remains as
the result. That is, thrift Is natural
Great wealth may not be, and like
wise may not bless us. Wealth and
poverty may each bea curse, because
each may have US without our sphere,
But thrift is the true life, the life
which now is and the life which is to
be. To learn how to live is to learn
how to thrive.
To learn how to live we must kAoM
life and love life. Such love is utter
ly unselfish, and perfectly natural.
1t grows in the soul of the human
heart if moi interfered with, or up
rooted.
