phasing the national menace of
idle labor, e. D. Self, federal
director for Mississippi of the
United States Employment Ser
vice, with headquarter in this
city, says.
I expect to force every idle
man in Mississippi to work
through the rover of public
opinion.
No man in America has the
moral or legal right to remain
idle while the women of France
are following the plow.' he
declares.
Director Self makes a strong
appeal to every minister in Miss :
issippi to preach a special ser
mon on Sunday. June 2, from
the well-knoWn text, Six days
shalt thou labor" stressing the
vital patriotic necessity for
bringing into active industrial
and agricultural operation the
maximum man-pOWer Of the
nation
Vagrancv laws should be en-
forced to the letter and should
be supplemented by even more
stringent local ordinances" de,
cIares Mr., Self. 1T is rapidly
coming to the point where the
man who will not work may not
eat.

Mississippi More Than
Doubles Red Cross

jackson, Miss, May. % Miss
issippi has considerably more
than doubled it's quota Of $780,
900 in the second Red Cross
war fund, according to announce
ment to fslt by State Chair
man Remington. Compilation of
incomplete reports showed that
the state had contributed slightly
over 100000 it was stated,
There was intense rivalry be-
tween the three counties of Jones
Lauderdale and Kinds for prem
ier place, the three finishing the.
drive in the order named, Jones
County certainly deserved the
honor flag, having attained the
grand maximum of$56, 397, where
she bad beer allotted a quota by
the leaders OF the gulf division
Of S6, 475 This was giving her
quota doubly quadrupled, and
1t is record that will he difficult
to excel by any county or com-
munity in the United States.
Lauderdale was second in
the Mississippi list, with a quota
of SIS, OPS, and a total subscrib-
ed of $50, 200,
Kinds, which had conducted a
a spirited contest with Lauder
dale, was submerged beneath a
narrow margin. Her assessment
was $50, 800 and the total, after
all boxes had been heard from
amounted to $50, 175, 25.

FOR
SCHOOL TEACHERS
To Be Held by National Security
League Throughout Country
During Coming Summer.

"Feachers' Plattsburgs," at Which
100000 public school teachers will be
given practical training in patriotic
education, will be held during the COM
ing summer in practically every state
i'm the Union by the National Security
League. The scheme of this elaborate
new division of the Leagues Patriot
ism Through Education campaign is
conceived on the same basic idea along
which the League has been working
for some time, concentrating on the
teachers of the youth of the land and
thereby reaching the children through
the teachers and the people through
their children.
The objects of the Leagues cam
paign are two-fold-active combating
of German propaganda and awaken
ing more responsible American citi-
zenship.
At Summer Schools.
The Security League will conduct
these "Teachers' PIattsburgs" through
the medium of the summer schools for
teachers that are held throughout the
country every year. 1t has not yet
been determined how many centers
will be used The matter is being
taken up with all of the 700 summer
schools of the country and probably
between so and rs of the training
camps will be established, the schools
selected being chosen after careful in
IvestigatiOn as to attendance, breadth
of influence and convenience of loca-
tion.
; The training camps will be conduct
ed by leading educators whose cooper
ation will be enlisted by the League.
The actual instruction will be under
the direction of DR. Robert M. McEl-
roy, educational director Of the
League, and the members Of the Ma
tional Patriotic Education Faculty"
which he has organized. The League
ALREADY has over 1000 experienced pa
itriotic speakers on its Speakers Bu-
lreau list. A great many of these men
land women will be detailed to the
;;"Teachers' Plattsburgs" and their
number will be augmented by yolun-
Iteers from the principal colleges and
universities of the country, whose aca-
demic duties have prevented them
from taking active part in the patri-
'otic education work outside their i'm
mediate field. but who will be free
during the summer months.
War Spirit.
The teachers will be given series
Of vital interpretations of the war by
men and women who have given care
full study to the situation. In addition
to this instilling of the war spirit in
the teachers, the training camps will
also afford them practical instruction
in the best methods of imparting to
the youth of the land the two war
principles on which the Security
Leagues Patriotism Through Educa-
tion campaign is based-the menace of |
Germany to America, and the neces- |
sity of individual service on the part |
of every man, woman and child in the |
country in order to prevent defeat.
A preliminary letter has been sent |
by Doctor McElroy to the directors Of |
all the summer schools of the country |

What have we in common to cause
as to rise at the call of a common i'm
pulse and prepare to die for common
cause? It would be easy to formulate
the Characteristic dreams of the Rus
sian, the Italian, the Belgian, the
Scotch, the Irish or the Portuguese II
would be possible to catch the CLEAN of
idealiSm which has given to the French
the glorious title of the Hero Nation"
But none OF these would suffice We
must take a cross section Of all Of
them, and a dozen more, to formulate
the ideals which course in common
through them all after they have been
united into what we call America. For
1t is common ideals which have trans
formed the men and women of all these
races and kindreds and tongues into
our nation, which stands today facing
the grim fact of war, a war to which
no man dare call them in the name Of
race, or language, or previous allegi-
ancs.
World Citizenship.
The President has placed our inter-
ventiCn in this war upon a plane Of
idealism to which every citizen, of
whatever race, may rally without los
ing hold upon the best traditions Of
the land from which his forefathers
have come. 1t is not the call of mar
row nationalism, but the call of world
citizenship.
Our entrance into this war is no con-
cessiOn to the accursed gospel of force
and fraud. We wish nothing for our
selyes, but have resolved Ito quote the
oft quoted words of our President)
that the world must be made safe for
democracy-and its peace-planned
upon the trusted basis of political lib
erty." We scOrn the idea that might
ia right" but we are willing to take
our part in policing the world against
the nadmen who act upon that doc
trine
"How High Your Ideals?"
History will not ask US or any other
nation, How big was your army?" but
"How high were your ldealsY" Not
GLOW vast your navy?' but what was
your devotion TO duty?" Not "How
quickly could you mobilize?" but
"What thought have you contributed
toward the betterment of mankind?"
To those questions Germany can an
s~er, Il contributed to the world the
idea Of representation" for, as Montes-
Quieu tells us, the representative idea
was born in the forests of Germany"
She will have to confess, however that
she cast it out, & naked infant, in or
der to make room for the throne of
the great, black idol, military power,
and today America and her allies are
in resistIess columns, carry
ing that founding back to it's home.

We are all at danger point. On

1918 farm and garden operations de-
pends prosperity or our going broke" p"
Even at present high prices no one
can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy
food and grain at present prices from
supply merchant on credit and make
money. Food and grain is higher In
proportion than are present cotton
prices.
It's a time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and FORAGE supplies on your own
acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece Of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay nearly half your living. It
will save you more money than You
made on the best three acres Of cotton
you ever grew!
