CLEANUP BRINGS THRIFT.
Prize Essay on Subject by Nerd
ian 9TH Grade Pupil.

Little Miss Eleanor Daniels, a
7th grade pupil of the Meridian
schools, received the prize offer
ed in connection with the clean
up campaign of the City Fedora
ton for the best essay on Clean
up and Thrift.
There were 400 children in the
contest; out Of this number the
teache S selected eight of the
best and from this number the
committee chose the following
essay as the best:
CLEANUP AND THRIFT.
Once there was a city which
was very large and had great
natural resources. But for some
reason this city was not thrifty.
The people had done every
thing they could to try to get
Mr.. Thrift to move into the city
with his family, but he would
not.
One day some of the promi-
nent men of the city met togeth-
er and decided to send men to
wait on Mr.. Thrift and try to
get him to move to the city.
The first man they sent was
Mr.. Commercial. Mr.. CONNER
cial went to him and told him he
would make the city railroad
center and see that there was
great commerce carried on in the
city, but he could not persuade
Mr.. Thrift to come.
The second man that was sent
was Mr.. Politics. He went to
him and told him that the city
would make the politics great.
But Mr.. Thrift would not come.
The third man sent was Mr..
Education. Mr.. Education said,
"Mr. Thrift, if you will take
your family and move into our
city | will build great schools,
colleges and libraries and edu-
cate your children so they will
be great men and women when
they grow up. But Mr.. Thrift
said NO"
The fourth man sent was Mr..
Religion. He told Mr.. Thrift
that he would build great
churches and would soon teach
all the people about the Bible.
But Mr.. Thrift would not go.
There was only one man left,
and the people thought that he
couldn't do any good, and this
was Mr.. Cleanup.
Mr.. Cleanup knew that If, he
went and could get Mr.. Thrift
to come to the city that all the
boys and girls would help him to
beau ify the city. He went to
Mr.. Thrift and said, Mr.. Thrift,
if you will come to our city | will
clean up and beautify the city. |
will plant gardens in the vacant
lots and the trees will be taken
care of. and the garbage cans
cleaned and tin cans and other
rubbish taken away"
Mr.. Thrift frightened up at
this and said, go to your city
and clean it up and | will move
my family in. -
Mr.. Cleanup went back to the
city and told the people about
Mr.. Thrift and they were all
very eager to help him.
In a weeks time the city was
very beautiful. Mr.. Thrift and
his family moved in, the city be-
came thrifty and very beauti-
full one, all on account of Mr..
Gle an-up
"Hurrah for Mr.. Clean-up!"

Florence Notes.

We certainly should feel
thankful to the giver of all good
gifts, that we are blessed with
good crop growing weather.
Since the boil weevil has cut in
on the cotton in this section, the
farmers have paid more atten-
ton to food crops and stock
raising. We hope Beat one will
go in with greater vim this very
year, 1917, and respond more
extensively to the call for all the
available food it can raise to do
it share toward suffering living
beings with the staff of life, not
emitting hogs, sheep, goats and
beeveS.
Preach the doctrine of food
stuff from your pulpit, We faith
full pastors, every Sunday and
talk it from Monday morning till
Saturday night.
The Baptist Pastor, Rev. S. F.
Courtney, delivered two fine SER
mon last Sunday on practical re-
ligion, to fine congregations.
The membership of the Bap-
fist church will send their pastor
to the Southern Baptist Conven-
ton which meets in New Orleans
in May. Dry Creek and Noun
tain Creek churches to whom
he breaches, will lend a helping
hand in this important matter.
Pro-. Monroe Ball, the princi-
pal of our High School here, is
one of the three new members
of the State Text Book commits
sion which held a meeting last
Saturday in Jackson.
The Florence Woman's Can
ming Club held a regular meeting
one day last week at the home
of Mrs. Warren Rodgers and
accomplished a good deal of
business connected with club
work.
These Club ladies are very
enthusiastic in their work. They
did not allow a rain that day to
deter fine attendance.
II any house-keeper who is
trying to raise many chickens
will send me a stamped and
addressed envelope, | will take
pleasure in describing a Commu-
nifty Brooder, which, if she will
have built for herself, will save
lots of worry and work with
young chicks. The plan is in
practical use on DR.. Whitfield's
place. and affords such a COM
fort to Mrs. Whitfield in caring
for so many little chicks. 1t will
require IL or Is foot wide plank,
any desired length, with 4 or 5
scantling, 5 or 6 strips, and e.
nough roofing material to build
such a brooder, and it is a per-
manent structure, safe from
roofing hogs, depreciation of rats,
and rains, IL foot plank will
build such a house for Z or 8

youngs.

FILIPINOS BARRED
FROM THE GUARD BY
COURTS DECISION

Honolulu, Jan. 25.-Consternation
prevails in the ranks of the Hawaiian
National Guard over the decision of
United States District Judge Horace
w. Vaughn, handed down here re-
Gently, in which he held that Filipinos
are not eligible to become citizens of
the United States. Fears are ex-
pressed by the territorial officials and
heads of the National Guard that the
decision virtually will annihilate the
guard as a potential fighting unit.
A large part of the National Guard
of Hawaii is composed Of Filipinos--
about 1000 of them having enlisted
and some of the companies made up
wholly of Filipinos are accounted the
crack units of the territorial organ
ization. II Judge Vaughn's ruling is
upheld, 1t will mean that these COM
panies will have to be disbanded and
all Filipinos discharged.
The guard here has been built up
within the last year and from an al
most negligible organization to more
than 1900 men. 1t Is well armed and
equipped. for the most part, and ex-
ceptionally well drilled. It's head Is
Brigadier- General Samuel l. Johnson,
adjutant general Of the territory.

There were two bills introduced in
the legislature today that attracted
interest. One OF them seeks to Gre

ously objected to by the members Of
the Canyon county delegation. The
northern portion of Canyon county Is
included within the boundaries of the
proposed new county.
The second bill seeks to establish
on the Boise river one of the biggest
hydro electric power plants in the
state. for which the bill asks an ap-
preparation Of $780, The power gen.

AUTOMATIC GUN IS
HELD RESPONSIBLE
Birds Have Little Chance
Against These 1nstru-
ments of Destruction De-
clares the Editor of the
New West Magazine.

Now that the Fourteenth legisla-
ture is confronted with Il number or
measures seeking to amend the fish
and game laws of Idaho and many
more will be presented, an article ap-
pearing in the New West magazine or
which Robert Spangler, well known in
Idaho. is editor and manager, showing
what lack of shooting ethics and the
slaughter of game will reduce the stock
in Idaho to, is of interest The auto
matte and pump gun are held respon-
sible for the rapidly diminishing stock
of game birds which have little chance
against these alleged vicious instru-
ments for their destruction. The ar
ticle is in part as follows:
The recent movement founded by
DIR. w. T. Hornaday, of the New York
geological park for the purpose of es-
tablishing nation | game preserves on
the unused port .ons Of the national
forests. and followed by "a majority of
the middle western and western states,
has led to an investigation of the
status of the wild game wherever this
movement has been effected. Appall-
ing figures have revealed themselves
regarding the total amount OF the wild
game, and particularly of the valuable
wild birds, and it has become evident
that something must be done for their
protection, and that Immediately.
REASON Is CLEAR.
Comparing the amount of the wild
birds of today with that of few years
ago there is miserable shortage. The
reason for this is none the less clear.
AS instance, however. will easily en-
tighten the short sighted person who
cannot at once see the two most potent
factors in the destruction.
The lack Of shooting ethics and the
ever present desire to kill, has led to
the invention, not long since, of the
automatic and pump gun-both OF
which will deliver five shots in period
of five seconds. A small covey of wild
birds would have but small chance
where these guns are in the hands OF
experienced shooters. Likewise, we
have the automobile used extensively
to cover from four to five times the
territory in one day, that he could with
the horse and it is very easy in view
of these facts that a whole section of
territory might be completely exhaust
ed CT game, and the hunter could move
OH, in short time. and exhaust an
other with equal facility. Ask your
self the question IF this keeps up
how long will the supply of game and
particularly the birds, endure?"
PERMITTED BY LAW.
The most heartrending part of what
Is revealed by investigation is the fac,
that the game of this country is being
exhausted according to law. The leg.
lslators have labored long Under the
delusion that bag limits can save the
game. This is a miserable belief The
game is being exterminated every
where by blind insistence upon "opeI
season" and solemn reliance upon lie.
