Whereas, an ample supply Of
food and feed are essential to the
continued success of our people at
home and vital to winning the
war; and,
Whereas, on the 18th day Of
September, 1918, and on previous
occasions SO many men were call
ed from the farm to the colors,
creating a shortage Of labor; and,
Whereas, the boys of Mississ-
ippi, by the vigorous application
of their energies can be Of inesti-
mable service both to the state
and nation by the production of
food and feed and the perform
ance of other necessary labor;
and,
Whereas, the boys Of Mississ-
ippi should be aroused to a full
consciousness of their opportuni-
ties and should be impressed with
their duties and great RESPONSE;
bilities during the present world
crisis, and SO effectually organ
lied that they can do their full
share and duty in helping with
the war;
Therefore, /, Theodore G. Bill

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
Edited by
MEDDIE L. ROBINSON,
School Director of War Savings
Campaign and Junior
Red Cross.

November 8 has been set apart
as gas mask day by the Red Cross
Let everybody celebrate by send
ing. nuts to the Red Cross work
room at Brandon on that date.
They should be sent in in boxes
and bags, gross weight of not
more than 70 pounds each.
AS soon as the schools open, let
the Junior Red Cross get to work
at once. Rankin county is called
on to furnish 100 story books per
month for the soldiers hospitals
in France. These are to be made
out Of clippings pasted into scrap
books. Composition books about
z by II inches, with stiff backs
are recommended. 1t is difficult
to get the exact size but near that
will do. Use pictures, stories,
jokes, pithy editorials, interesting
bits of information, and anything
that is first class wholesome in
tereStlng reading for a live Amer
lean soldier. Get them from news
papers and magazines.
Please let each school decide on
it's monthly quota and notify Miss
Meddie Robinson, Brandon, Miss,
how many you can make. l hope
each school however small will
make at least one. It will mean
much to the children to take part
in this patriotic work.

Help This Effort.

The Bureau of Vital Statistics
is hard at work trying to bring
it's reports of births and deaths
to the point where Mississippi may
be placed in the registration area
of the Federal Bureau of the Gen.
sus.
1t will be remembered that the
government gave the records here
a test a short time ago, and the
state failed to pass the required
examination by very small mar
gin.
It was then agreed that four
more months, these being Septem-
Der, October, November and De-
cember be allowed, and at the end
of this period another test will be
given.
The first two of these months
have passed, and DR.. R. w. Hall,
director of the vital statistics bu-
reau, reports that much better
work has been done by registrars
all over the state.
He has just sent out circular
letter urging that even more eff
cient work be done during Novem-
Der and December.
DR.. Hall reports that vital sta
tistics are of increasing import
anceand urges that parents see
that all births are reported at
once.
Admittance to the federal area
carries with it a number of i'm
portant privileges, including the
franking of all mail relating to
vital statistics, and DR.. Hall is
anxious that the state meet the
next test.
Government agents will arrive
some time in January to go over
the records again. Their exami-
nation is most searching one,
and registrars must do first-rate
work If the state is to- get by

Uncle Dan was silent moment or

Editors note: 1t is now two years since
Sholem Aleichem, the Jewish Mark Twain,
has passed away. Memorial services
held everywhere for him. In his last will
and testament he asks that no expensive
monument be erected for him, that the
best monument for him would be if his
or other languages. With this in mind,
we are here reproducing one of his most
characteristic stories from the series of
Toby the Dairyman.
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1918-05-24

TOBY the Dalryman.
You know how the Sabbath lesson
reads: God wished to favor ........"
God wished to do Teviah favor, so He
blessed him with seven female children,
which means daughters, all welltrained,
smart, beautiful, lively and healthy
pines, I tell you. OF, wish they had
been the ugliest hays; then it might
have been better for them and me too.
Let me ask you this: What's the good of
fine horse if you have to keep it locked
in the stable all the time? And what's
the good of having beautiful daughters
if you are shut up in little hole and
see no living person except Anton Pape-
rifle, the Goyish chief of the village, and
the clerk Chvedke Galegan, tall over
grown Coy, with bushy hair and high
boots, and the priest (may his name
and memory be wiped Out)? l hate his
very name, not because I am Jew and
he a priest. On the contrary, we have
known each other good many years.
OF course we don't attend each others
celebrations and certainly don't exchange
holiday greetings. We meet, good
morning, good-morning, what's new in
the world?" dislike entering into
long-winded discussions with him. be-
cause right away he begins whole bust
ness about your God, my God. I don't
allow it to go on, but cut him off with
a joke, and tell him we have certain
text. So he, of course, breaks in, and
says he knows the text as we'll as I, and
perhaps even better and starts to pound
out our Pentateuch from memory just
like Coy: "Bereshit bara Alakim"-
the same thing over and over again So
of course I interrupt him and tell him
we also have Midrash
"a Midrash," says he, "that's what's
called Tal-mud," and the Talmud he hates
because it's all humbug Naturally l
become quite angry, and begin to tell
him things just as they come to me-
But do you think he cares? Not Bit
He looks at me, and laughs all the while
combing his beard. Do you know, there
isn't anything more provoking, than
when you abuse fellow and try to
make him feel as cheap as dirt and he
just keeps quiet. Your gall bursts with
in you, and here he sits and smiles. At
that time I did not understand, but
now I know what that smile meant.
Well, once I come home about eve
ming and see the clerk Chvedke stand
ing outside with my Chavez, that's my
third daughter, the second after Hulda.
Seeing me, the young chap doffs his hat
and off he goes. So I turn to Chaveh,
whats Chvedke doing here?"
Nothing" says she.
Say I, what do you mean noth1ng?"
