Useful Lessons of the War

Robert G. Skerfett, in Leslies.
 < Within the past IS months or so many things have happened to make us alter our habits The nation in April year ago aligned itself squarely with the other powers battling for world democ- racy, and that meant that some of the condition so common abroad should be brought directly home to us. It was nec- essary that we should adapt ourselves to the steadily rising costs of things and make our less, adequate purses equal to maintaining us and meeting, besides, multiplying and unexpected demands How did MT. Citizen. in fact, the whore of his Immediate family and all of his relatives, meet the new order of life? Retrenchment became a necessity.
 First, the tailor employed his accus- toned wiles and, finally, walled that his business was going ito pot unless his customers came to the rescue. His cries. however, fell upon unheeding ears to large extent, Last years suit continued to look pRetty decent, for, quite apart from the price, the authorities had said the fighting man needed sturdy ana abundant woolen garments. The appeal was made more personal when 1t was shown that the cloth manufacturers. by cutting the size of tailors' samples I per cent, were able to garb 67,000 soldiers with the material thus saved. Why buy a new suit when the old one would do'
 And then came the heyday of the hum ble cobbler. Shoes that had previously found their way into the ashcan were discovered to be still good save for their worn soles and heels. It was some thing of q revelation, likewise a..lesson in practical economy what ther little shoemaker around the corner could do with footwear for moderate charge compared with the price of a pair of new shoes. Mrs. Citizen and her daughters were equallyesurprised by their handiness in making, over hats, frocks, and other feminine >togs The healthy minded youth was not concerned about his dress-his one ambition was to win uniform.
 Out in the kitchen wellTworn pots and pans continued to do duty, for the makers of munitions wanted all of the aluminium and tin they could get, and our canners required a vastly increased supply or containers to hold the food intended for our soldiers, our sailors, our allies, and such of the civil populace of Europe as we were bent upon saving from starva- tion.

MAY GO TO CONFERENCE

GovfTheo. G, Bilbo expects to attend the conference of governors at Annap- oils, Md.,> December IS, II and IS, but may not be able to get there the first day. The governor has been spending several days on his well improved farm near Poplarville, seeing to the harvest ing of his crops. It is understood that he has made a record-breal1er for cutovef pine lands, his sweet potato crop of seven acres being great, and from which he expects an average of 300 bushels per acre, or more than 2000 bushels. For tunately the governor had the foresight to build potato house after plans laid down and furnished by the government and does not fear they will rot on his hands while prices are at the plutocrat figure of B per bushel. The governor is also said to have made B bales of cotton, hundreds of acres of corn, an abundance of cornfield peas, velvet beans, peanuts, Louisiana syrup and little of everything good1to eat-not excepting a pecan crop that is sufficient to pay all farm expenses for the year.

 In this and neighboring counties a drive is now on for the use of thor oughbred males of all kinds-no farm CT to be permitted to hereafter own or use a scrub or grade bull, boar or rooster.

TO MAKE THE HENS LAY

Prof. Harley l.. Williams, extension poultry husbandman at the Mississippi A. and M. college, has no trouble mak- ing the hundreds of hens under his ob- servation lay N5gs when prices of eggs are high as we'll as when they are so cheap that the good housewife feeds them to her own family instead of send ing them to- market Night and morn ing he feeds two parts of cracked corn to one part of oats, mixed and scat tered in litter, one pint to each 10 hens. To assure eggs in winter he states that a dry mash is necessary-equal parts of corn meal, cotton seed meal, wheat bran and wheat shorts. Mix we'll and keep before the hens at all times in hoppers or slated troughs. Green feed must be furnished as a matter of course. also charcoal and oyster she'll Prof. Williams guarantees this feed will make hens lay whether they want to or not.

THOUSANDS REGISTERED

[ A week ago Frlday was deSlgnated as registra tion day for all boys between the ages of and IS years, and it is re- ported that several thousand enlisted for the food crop campaign next year. How
 ever, it has been learned that there was some confusion in the rural districts and that great many boys were missed.
 Prof. J. T. Calhoun, state director of the boys working reserves, has issued a circular directed to county agents ev- anywhere over the state, in which he extends the time for the registration and urges every school teacher to see that all boys within the age limits set hand in their names Mississippi is leav-

TRUSTEE ID URGE
 B|G CHANGE IN
 PRISON METHODS
Wants to See Trustees Put to Work Instead of Armed With Winchester and Ap-
 pointed Guardsmen

Jackson, Miss, December ,16-( -(Special) At the. next meeting of the board of trustees of the Mississippi penitentiary a proposition is going to be submitted by J r. Thames ot the southern district
 looking to a solution of the serious labor problem that is confronting this big in- stitution, and there is every reason to believe his suggestions will be adopted
 For years it has been the rule to use convicts as guards over squads of other
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-12-15

convicts. These guards are known as trustees" and armed with shotguns or Winchesters, they are supposed to pre- vent escapes. That they frequently do, is true-in fact they have often shot and killed those making break for. liberty But MT. Thomas takes the position that these trlsties, 80 in number must be put between the blow handles to par italy cure the labor shortage, and that free men, perhaps returned soldiers. shall be employed as guards. He estimates that the free guards will cost about $10,- coo per annum, but that the released convict guards will produce at least/six bales of cotton and a lot of corn and other stuff, worth at present prices, about $S00OO. All of which would be a good investment. it seems.
 By the use of traction engines, gang blows, cultivators and other improved farm machinery. Trustee Thames is con fdent the penitentiary will be able to save scores of mules and many convfcts, and he will also urge an extensive in vestment in such machinery. Every trac- tor will save 10 miles and as many con victs he says, and he will insist on try ing them on farms and camps where there are no stumps. Meantime he will propose to get rid of the stupps on all the state farms.
 This labor shortage comes of the fac, that the number of convicts has de- creased in five years from more than 1900 to about 1900 of which 10 per cent are old, lame, halt and blind and use- less in making a crop. This heavy de- crease in prison population is attributed to the tolerably strict enforcement of the laws-many of the courts of the state having little to do, and seldom sending in a prisoner. whereas in former years, when-b booze was easy to get and fights and killings of frequent occur renee, they furnished scores semi -annu- ally.

MAY HAVE CHECKED NECKs

The chances are that great many Jackson folks have suffered from cricks in their necks this week. caused by staring at airplanes sailing around over their heads. One day four planes from West Point were parked at the fair grounds, and during their stay gave sew eral exhibitions, performing numerous thrilljpg stunts to the great delight of the Thousands underneath them. These airmen are laying out a mail route be- tween Mississippi and Texas points, part of their duties being to find and map first-class landing places. They found cte at Jackson that can hardly be ex- celled after few shade trees have been removed

WENT TO SEE HIS WIFE

On November 27, an >1s-year-old white man named Bill Box was re- .ceived at the convict farms, having been sentenced to serve two years for grand larceny. Bill was young, but he left bride at the old home He managed to stand the separation two weeks, when he made a break for lib- erty, going straight to his home Ill the northern part of the state where he was again arrested and returned to to the convict farm. He was not given the flogging that is usually adminis- tered to those who take French leave of the farm-the superintendent de- claring, T don't blame him darned bit'

MAY BE FATAL WOUND

A 12-year-old white boy was seriously and perhaps fatally wounded one day this week, and is now in the hospital. He was riding his bicycle around the race track at the fair grounds when a little negro of about the same age threw piece of iron-a spike from 8 harrow-that struck, point foremost, just above the ear, and remained imbedded in the boy s head The big piece of iron was not re- moved until cut out by the surgeons at the hospital, to which he was rushed. The little negro is in the city jail charged with assault to kill, and that may be changed to murder.

There are now S5 patients on hand and there are beds for but S0 As many as l5 or 70 ap- plicants for admission are turned down every day because of the crowded con ditions The next legislature will be asked, it is understood, to double the ca pacity of the institution, and even then it will not be large enough to take care of all who seek relief.

In three or four weeks they were all permit ted to reopen, and the flu promptly re- turned.
