On Tuesday next, the goth inst.

car over its line from Corinth to
Jackson for the purpose of gathering
up at all stations contributions for
the two denominational orphanages
at Jacksonville Baptist and Metho-
dist-and all who desire to send in
their contributions by this means
should have them at the stations by
Monday at the farthest. Those in
charge of the work will have but lit
tie time in which to place the articles
in the car and every care should be
taken to prepare tllrrn *h~+ .les-
can be easily handled.
This is a great work being done
by the churches and everybody
should feel it personal duty to do
their part in helping to care for the
little fellows left on the cold chari-
ties of the world We have been
blessed with good crops this year and
this car should express our generosl-
ty and sympathy for the fatherless
and motherless crowd that has been
gathered together that they may be
given food and shelter until they are
prepared to go out and battle for
themselves.

OUR CORN CROP.

Four shelters are running
day and night to take care OF
the corn that is being hauled
to town every day. An aver
age of at least ten cars OF corn
is being made in the daily ship
ments from here. The demand
is from all over the country,
New Orleans calling for large
shipments while the north,
east and northwest are sending
in orders faster than they can
be filled.
+ The quality of the corn is eX-
cellent, but occasionally some
of it is gathered too green and
makes the shelling bad. The
estimate of the corp for, the
county runs into the millions OF
bushels and the prices are we'll
above anything that has ever
been paid for corn here before
at this season of the year. The
county has always had a fine
corn record and this record will
more than be maintained in
this years crop. The average
for it's acreage is far above the
wear average, all conditions
being favorable for a fine crop
which is being realized. Prices
around $1.25 are being paid.
This is putting lots of money in
the country, while at the same
time the people have an oppor-
tunity to fatten their hogs, for
another years meat. The out
look for another year is en-
couraging from the farmers
standpoint. Never in the his
tory of the country has there
been paid such prices as are
being paid the farmer for what
he has to sell.

STUDENT LIFE AT HARVARD
RADIO SCHOOL

The following letter is from MIS-
sissippi boy, J. c. James, whose
home is Saltillo. He is attending the
United States Radio School at Har-
ward Univedsity, located at Cam
bridge, Mass. Young James gives an
interesting account of what the pa
triotic lads are doing at the great
New England institutions
There are two sets, the Offcers
Reserve Training Corps (army) and
the Harvard Radio School, the boys
who are studying to be wireless OPP
orators aboard Uncle Sans ships.
In all, there are some 1900 here.
The course is IS weeks in length and
it REQUIRES studying on the theory OF
electricity as well as practice on
sending and receiving messages.
we RADIO boys lead an entirely dlt-
ferent life from that of the regular
Harvard boys. We are quartered IN
the college dormitories, of course,
but we sleep no double deckers; we
form in line and march to our meals,
which are served to us in Memorial
Hail. We are trained physically as
we'll as mentally and we lead strict,
busy life with only limited amount
of liberty.
At half-past five reville sounds.
That is the beginning of our day.
No more late rising; all must hit
the deck" at once; no more OF cutting
classes; no more late hours, and
changing around" as Prof. Joe Cook
of the Mississippi Normal College
would put it; no more excuses for
mot being ION the spot with the
Egoods.'
We are in class from 8:15 to 11:45
a. m. and from / rs to AIS p. m.
During the week days we have night
school every other night until 8
o'clock. Some busy time, but it IS
great life--if you don't weaken. We
are well pleased, even though we are
rushed.
l recently noticed where some
writer saws: "As watched the
sailor boys in their making l could
not help but wonder why parents
did not prefer to send their boys to
paternal government for train'ng
rather than to a college or school,
where discipline extends no farther
than the classroom The government
feeds them, clothes them and makes
real men of them; healthy, fine men
who, when finally o. k.-ed, really
amount to something
Again: Everywhere the uniforms
of the navy are in evidence. Col
lege professors, plain students ana
civilians give way to Uncle Sam S
own. who have the right of way"
The whole of Cambridge and Bos-
ton treat us royalty. Free passes
are given US to the best theaters IN
Boston. Residents give dances, par
ties. dinners and all other kinds OF
nice entertainments for our pleasure
and benefit.
We are all full of pep" and real
anxious to launch out upon the deep
blue; not that we are tired of life
here but that we want a chance to
make it hot for the Germans.
Three cheers for the U. S. A. and
the fair play for which she stands!
