GOVERNOR BILBo,s SHIRT

Several days since the Des Moines News telegraphed to Governor Bilbo as follows:
 ''Do any of your friends wish to Did on the apron made from your shirt? Be auctioned here Saturday evening. Wire bids to Daily News by 2 p. m. Saturday,"
 Governor Bilbo had compiled with the request of Des Moines for shirt, and had sent them two nice, freshly laundered old shirts. both of which had caudal appendages sufficiently Ions to make about four aprons.
 It was supposed that the friends of the governor back home would bid on the aprons but if there was bid for those made out of the shirts sent to Des Moines by the governor of Mis- sissippi, the fact has never been made known here. This is partly accounted for on the ground that the governors s friends did not know he had sent the shirts to Des Moines to be auctioned for the Red Cross fund after being worked over into aprons of the ap- proved pattern for nurses.
 It may be that there were some bids for these gubernatorial aprons by citi- zens of the Iowa town, but no. report of sales has been received here, and even the governor does not seem to feel any curiosity as to what became of his old shirts.

 The barley drive is advancing with in- creasing momentum and popularity. A scriptural slogan that is prophetically significant has been sent us by our na- tional vice president, Mrs. Ella A. Boole. suggested to her by a Jewish friend, It is to be found in Judges ': 1914 Be hold, I dreamed dream and To. cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp and smote- 1t that it fell This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon Into his hands God hath de- livered Midian and all the host' The multitude of barley loaves being baked in the kitchens of our land may prove to be the undoing of those who waste barley in the manufacture of alcoholic drinks
 Get your pastor to preach a sermon on this prophetic text and then diligently work to fulfill the prediction. Arrange Tor the publication of the best barley recipes in your local paper. Secure per mission for five-minute barley talk at the womans club, church missionary society and in the Sunday school Place samples of your most attractive and ap- pestizing barley foods in groceries or other cehters, Appeal to your local ba- kers, restaurant keepers and hotel pro- pretors to specialize on barley menus Get out little booklet of barley recipes for free distribution or to be sold for moderate price. Keep up these barley irgsss methods until 1t can be truthfully said

MISSISSIPPI IS AHEAD

Prof. w F. Bond, state superintend- ent of education. has returned from a visit to Washington, New York and other places Down East" reporting a glorious outing and very satisfactory meeting with the general educational board. from which Mississippi sets about $35, 900 per year. and is expecting more.
 MT. Bond found that Mississippi was the only southern state that has made full report of activities in which the general board is interested. and .hat had it's budget for next year ready for submission. The consequence is that Mississippi will be the only state to get it's full quota of assistance from this source in the very near future. The board was delighted with the W ork being done in Pearl River county. the model school county of the state, in which $6,000 per year is being spent in an effort to set pace for all other counties.
 The Mississippi railroad commission finds that the days of its usefulness are about ended because of the fact that the railroad business of the coun. try has been turned over to MT. Mc- Adoo as director general.
 The meeting of the commission this week lasted but half day. all mat ters of interest being simply referred to MT. McAdoo. However the com mission is greatly interested in the proposition to increase passenger and freight rates. declaring that in many instances it will amount to confisca- tion of goods and the ruination of business in many sections of Missis- sippi, especially where there is no water competition. Attorney General Collins and Rate Clerk Purvis are both in Washington to protest against The proposed increases.

The state of Mississippi was called on to raise $350,000 in the last Red Cross drive. but that did not satisfy her peo- pie, and they just kept on giving until they had raised more than $1,0O0000, or nearly three times the quota demanded The state is now engaged on War Savings Stamp drive for $40.0oo.0O0 and it is confidently believed that it will be forthcoming before the end of the year. The directors of the several counties as- sembled here this week and fixed the quotas for the several counties, and the drive is now on in earnest.

The LEGISLATURE.

The Minnesota legislature, which
meets next January, promises to be
one of the most progressive of such
bodies yet convened in the State.
It has been estimated that 101 of the
100 members of the house will be of
some progressive type, while the
senate will be less reactiOnary than
formerly. The Non-partisan League
and Union Labor will be represented
by about IS members in both houses,
not enough to control, but they will
constitute a balance of power that
will have potent effect in many is
sues Upon their wisdom of action
will depend largely the growth of
their movement in the State. Many of
the members who defeated Non-parti-
san candidates did so by espousing
the popular ideas of the league and
thus are pledged to help carry them
out. Their sincerity will be put to
the test. 1t is amusing to note that
the socalled "socialistic" planks of
the Non-Partisan league were adopted
in the platform of the Republican
party which OPPOSED the Leagues
candidates in South Dakota, and by
the Democratic party which opposed
them in North Dakota. The same was
true in many of the legislative con-
tests in the state. If these principles
are bad why did the opposition pre-
tend to adopt them?

and no others, SAL their publishers,
and you will have liberal educa ton,

collectors to the colleges, which take
from four to six years to impart an
education to students who work hard

education are not complete substitutes
for elements that are surer guides to
success. Neither is success ordinarily
acquired without painful plugging and
