BILBO WANTS TO GO TO CON-
GRESS.

Hattiesburg, Miss, Aug. Gov
ernor I. G. Bilbo spent Sunday night
in this city EN- route to his home at
Poplarville. In discussing matters
political with close personal friends
he gave out the information that he
expects to be a candidate for con-
gress from this the sixth congression-
al district to succeed Congressman
Pat Harrison. What Harrison ex-
poets to do in the matter of standing
for reelection was not intimated by
the governor, it is said.
1t has been generally understood
that Congressman Harrison has been
seriously considering for some time
the question of entering the race for
the United States senate against Sem
ator Vardaman and the announce
ment from Governor Bilbo that he
expects to be in the race for con
gresham seems to indicate that Har-
rison will not stand for reelection.

CANS AND JARS.
Miss Lena Bolt, Agent.

We have still a few of the glass
jars, pints and half-gallons, for sale.
The pints are SO cents and the half
gallons are 80 cents. Anyone who
needs these can get them at these
prices. You will get them Of your
Home Demonstration Agent at the
Court House.
Tin cans for club members are
growing scarce and l would suggest
that if you wish any more that you
get them at yeour earliest conven
fence. If they should give out you
would have to pay a higher price.
The bankers have been liberal
enough to order another lot of cans
but they come to us at a higher
price. Cans are much higher than
they were when we ordered ours.
Still so many were needing them that
we thought it best to order a few
more. Anyone, whether a member
o fthe canning club or not, can get
these cans. Call or see Miss Lena V.
Bolt for prices.

Whale Not Fish.

Whales and porpoises are not fish.
according to a statement issued by the
bureau of fisheries, so far as their flesh
is concerned.
They are mammals, like cattle and
sheep, and in texture, appearance and
taste their meat is more like beef than
anything else.
The bureau of fisheries has been de-
voting much time to a study of the
matter and has conducted a great deal
of correspondence upon the subject,
with the result that it now advocates
the use of whale, porpoise, dolphin
and "other cetaceans' as a substitute
for beef.

Goldbeaters' Skin,

G~oldbeaters' skin is prepared from
the outside membrane of the large in
testine OF the OK. 1t is said that gold
beaters first tried paper for inclosing
them metal. and mulberry fiber paper is
still used in China and Japan, but ami
NAL parchment has been mostly IN
ployed for two or three centuries at
least. While a thinner leaf can be
beaten out between paper parchment
sheets, it is damaged by adhesion. A
special German paper is cpated with
isinglass or albumen, and paper parch-
ment of some kind is much used in the
first stages, but Seldbeaters finish their
product between ~goldbeaters' skins,
still pounding an ounce Of gold into 200
square inches Of leaf.

Our soldiers of the sea have been
the first of our troops to adopt splin-

chilled steel head protector has been
devised for the marine corps, and its
members will be thus equipped as fast
rs the order can be made up. The Ma
rine corps is almost always first, says
he Boston Globe. Other branches Of

choose. The marines r usually fol-

WAR WAGED BY WHOLE MA
TON.

The point has been reached where
war is waged literally by whole ma
tons. Every man, woman, and child
is involved and nearly every adult
and most boys and girls can be eff
ficient factors. We are in this war
for the purpose of defending our
rights, of making sure that, as a ma
ton, we shall be able to live the sort
of life and to have the sort of insti-
buttons we desire, of making democ-
racy persistent in the world, and of
safeguarding the world against the
recurrence of such a war as this.
To accomplish this the nation must
aim at the perfection of organiza-
ton, and therefore each individual
must recognize the necessity of max
ing sacrifices for the common good
and more than ever of working un-
der lmitations-of doing team work.
Our people have a genius for organ
ization, and they will not fail in the
task they have assumed. Our farm
ers, or whom a great responsibility
rests, are the most efficient farmers
in the world when they do their best.
They will not be found wanting in
this crisis.

Also, note that when the Kaiser
started this war, he was SIS years and

again fixes the Kaiser's number.
Having established this fact, you
will be interested in reading from
the 18th CHAPTER of Revelations the
4th, 9Th and 18th verses.
4th-And they w%orshiped the
dragon which gave power unto the
beast; and they worshipped the beast
saying "who is like unto the beast?
Who is able to make war with him?'
5th-And there was given unto
him a mouth speaking great things
and blasphemies; and power was
given unto him to continue forty
and two months.
1Sth-Here is wisdom. Let him
that hast understanding count the
number of the beast; for it is the
number of a man; and his number
is six hundred, three score and six.

Mount Horeb High School Burned
to the Ground.

Blanchardville Blade: The Mount
Horeb high school building burned to
the ground Friday afternoon. 1t is
estimated that the loss will reach
$4,000. The fire started in the attic
from defective chimney. Not sign
of panic was visible among the 100
students who were in the building,
all marched out in an orderly manner.
The fire department arrived on the
scene early, but efforts to bring an eff
fective stream of water to play upon
the blaze were were fruitless as the
building stood upon high ground and
was four stories tall. The water
pressure was inadequate to reach this
level. The building was total loss after
burning two hours. Students were I'M
able to save any of their books and the
loss from these will be considerable.
The burned structure was a brick
veneer building built twenty years ago
at cost of $l5, 900 and was used as an
academy, being taken over later for
high school purposes.

Tinv Iethou Island.

Jethou island is not only the smallest
of the Channel islands, but also the
smallest inhabited island in Europe.
In all it's little length and breadth there
is only one inhabited house.
Jethou lies midway between Guern-
sey and Sark and affords a perfect re-
treat from the world. 1t has popula-
ton Of about seven, is without roads
of any sort and has no post. Being
surrounded by submerged and partly
submerged rocks, it is impossible for
the island to be visited by vessels OF
any size, so all communication with the
outside world is carried on by means
Of tiny sailing cutter.
In winter the good folks of Jethou
sometimes have no news of any of the
happenings Of the outside world for
weeks at time, and yet Guernsey is
only a couple Of miles off. - London

DEWEY'S IRON NERVE.
How, When Young Officer, He Sub
dued an Ugly Mutineer.

In Admiral DeWey's autobiography,
written for Hearst's Magazine, is the
following story, which shows that as
a young lieutenant commander the
hero of Manila bay already possessed
the iron nerve that characterized his
later life:
Commodore FL. X. Thatcher, in COM
mand of the Colorado, welcomed me on
board heartily, Notwithstanding my
youth. He said the ship was in bad
state and gave me full authority in the
government of the crew of 700 men.
"Gradually / was able to identify the
worst characters. They were the ones
I had to tame The ringleader was q
giant red headed Englishman named
Webster Many of his mates were in
bodily fear Of this great brute The
prison being full, l had him put down
in the hold in irons.
Zone day I heard breaking Of
glass, and the orderly told me that
Webster had broken free of his irons,
had driven the sentry out of the hold
and, in blind rage, was breaking up
SJOAc DOLllcS Oh SOud uuu are LudL were
stored there.
II sent the master farms to arrest
him, and the master-at-arms came
back to report that Webster had sworn
he would kill the first man that tried
to come down the ladder into the hold.
"Such situation was not to be ell
dured. / took my revolver and start
ed for the hold. When I came to the
ladder Webster yelled up the threat
which had made the others hesitate
in view of his known ferocity. OF
course, any one going down the ladder
would expose his whole body to an at
tack before his head was below the
deck level and he could see his adver
sary. But any temporarizfng with the
fellow meant bad effect ON the whole
ships company.
"'Webster, this is the executive Off
Ger, Mr.. Dewey l called to him. L
am coming down and, Webster, you
may be sure Of this-if you raise fin
ger against me shall kill you
Il stepped down the ladder quickly,
to see Webster standing with a stone
ale bottle in his hand ready to throw.
But he did not throw it and submitted
to arrest peaceably."
