as she fell behind before and that
there will be a general and hearty
spirit of cooperation manifest all over

Hoardinn Food.

Anyone buying and holding a larger
supply of food now than in peace time,
except foods canned, dried or pre-
served in the home, is helping to de-
feat the Food Administration in its
attempt to secure just distribution
of food and the establishment of fair
prices.
The food hOarder is working against
the common good, and even against
the very safety of the country
boarding food in households is both
selfish and unnecessary. The govern
ment is protecting the food supply If

THRIFT TALKS.
THRIFT AND DESIRE.

By G. II Howerton. A. * M College mississippi
My friend Solomon said, Thrift
desires a man separateth and inter
medieth with all knowledge and
wisdom" Modern psychology
teaches that what we desire we
shall have if we desire the right
thing, and7desire it Alright, and go
after it in the right way. Desire
then is the foundation, the begin
ming of possession.
But it must be desire. A wish
is not sufficient. Desire is deep
in the soul. A wish is on the lips.
A young man says to me, Il wish |
had that and he can say that with
cigarette on his lips, and in the
next breadth say, But am not
able to pay for it," But if l can
get him to allow desire to have a
birth in his soul. he will cast away
the cigarette and assert soul func-
ton, a little backbone" for a
wish bone" and go after the thing
with desire in his heart and blood
in his eye"
Each of the twelve spies could
say, That Promised Land is a fine
place. | wish we had it. But
ten of them said, But the land is
full of giants. We can't get it..
Joshua and Caleb walked up in
front with real desire in theii
hearts, and determination in
their manner and a purpose in
their souls and said, 1T is a good
~ land, and we are abundantly
able to take it. But the majority
was without such desire and pur-
pose and they wandered around for
ty years in the wilderness, bleach
the desert places with their bones
because they did not hearken tC
the voice Of a real man not res
pond to divine function of a hui
man soul desire.

Getting The Kaiser Out of School Book.

Kosciusko Herald.
The Board of Education of the
city Of Chicago has ordered torn
from the school readers page
which was devoted to the Kaiser of
Germany. While the afoaesoid
page in the school readers spoke of
the Kaiser as a boy, still, in view
of the fact that he was quite diff
ferent then than now, 1T was
deemed best to eliminate the page
from the city schools. The Kaiser
was an impulsive, strong headed
boy and he has developed into a
hardheaded, cruel man. There is
no place for eulogy Of the Kaiser
in the schools of this country at
this time.

Dangerous To Violate Food Regulations

Sumner Sentinel.
News comes from Vicksburg that
a number of merchants of Missis-
sippi have been summoned to APP
pear before the State Food Admin
istrator TO answer charges of viola
ting the flour regulations. Of
course, these do mot represent all
the violators of this law, in fact it
represents only small percent,
but a close observation has shown
that there are only few in this
section who are not complying with
the regulations relating to the sale
of flour and sugar. and these few
need not be surprised to receive a
summons to Vickaburg resulting in
the loss of their license and in
branding them as disloyal citizens,
rot worthy of patriotic American
citizens, respect.

the large reserves OF potatoes and
beans, we have been saved from posi-
tive shortages throughout the country,
largely by virtue of the accumulated
household stores which are the results
of home endeavor.
The food situation OF the world
must steadily degenerate as long as
the war lasts 1t is, therefore, OF
prime Importance to add every item
to the total production Furthermore.
our overtaxed railways, which must
continue to be overtaxed during the
whole course of the war will be great,
ly relieved if we have a larger area
of gardens planted than last season.
1t seems to me that the experience
of last season indicates that aside
from a moderate planting of perish.
able vegetables for Immediate use,
the substantial part of such gardens
should be developed to potatoes and
beans. These two commodities can
be raised in practically all sections of
the United States, are of the utmost
value from food point of view, and
have the great advantage that they
can be preserved in the household
without artificial treatment.

HOME GARDEN NOTES FOR MARCH.


Leonard G Heron, Eek Horticulturist. A & M
College Mississippi.
April is another month in which
great deal of planting must be
done. Paintings of lettuce and
radishes should be made every two
weeks. Make another planting of
English Peas, heets, carrots, and
mustard.
Parsnips, satisfy, early sweet corn
and kohlrabi should be planted as
soon as possible in April if their
planting was neglected in March.
Spinach may be successful if planted
in very early April.
Snap beans, lima beans, sweet
corn, cucumbers, summer squashes,
pumpkins, okra, watermelons, and
cantaloupes should all be planted
during the first days of April.
Bean seeds are very scarce. AS
they are one of our best crops ar
engagements should be made to get a
liberal supply of seeds at once.
Set plants of the tomato, pepper,
and eggplant during early April.
Tomato plants should be feet a.
part each way. Egg plants and
peppers will do well 30 inches apart.
Set all plants deep and firm the soil
well around the roots with the
hand.
Early sweet potato plants must
go in the ground about April 10.
A big acreage of this crop should be
planted this year. Good quality oil
kiln dried sweet potatoes sold during
| March for 81 bushe and better.
Now is good time to plan to build a
sweet potato dry kiln. Mississippi
