The government could more easily
and more quickly raise the money by
the sale of Liberty Bonds if money
were the chief end, but so far IS the
the campaign for War Stamps in
schools is concerned, these stamps
are not the end, but means to an
end-that of teaching thrift to chill
dren. They furnish a means of saw
ing for children and poor people, and
in my humble judgment, the sale of
them, or some similar plan ofsaving
should be continued indefinitely.
Suffice it to say that they will be on
sale during 1918 and 1919.
The questionaires sent you should
be answered, as / am asked to make
a report for every school in the coun-
ty, and above all, Thrift Stamps
should be on sale at your school two
consecutive days in each week This
is one of the strong points in our
school plan and it should have your
cooperation. There are other sales
agents, of course, in every communi-
ty, but if children are left to 60 to
them for their stamps they will pro-
badly do so when it is convenient, but
the fact that the teacher has them
on sale at the school makes it more
convenient, and certainly more
stamps will be bought if this plan is
carried out. It has been my expert
ence as a member of soliciting COM
mittees in the various campaign for
money buring the past year and a
half that l have never seen people
running over one another to contri-
butte where contributions we're asked
or to invest where investments were
offered. Nor is this statement made
in any sort of cynicism. The fact
is, people have proven themselves
loyal IN the campaigns, but 1t has
taken lots of hard work and sacrifice
on the part of soliciting committees.
| am quite sure that committees were
not sought by people desiring to help
as often as the committees sought
people and urged them to help What
has worked with the people through
out the Unitd States will work with
the school children of this county
that is if the teacher offers these
stamps for sale at the school and

forever keep hammeringi at it, chill
dren will buy them.
Let me urge therefore, that every
teacher in the county get busy and
follow theplan to the letter The re.
suit will follow.
When can be of service to you In
this matter you have but to comm and
me-. Cordially yours

men fedeal demonstration force. The
men county agents have pledged
themselves to plant at least one mo-
del home orchard n each beat or su-
pervisor's district. This will mean
about 400 orchards in the state and
it will further mean that hese or
chards are located in every nook and
corner of the state. The women
county agents have pledged that all
their four year or certificate club
girls and all their prize-winning girls
will plant their club plots to orchard
fruits. This will mean about 800
more orchards. In addition to the
700 orchards put out under this or
ganized plan, with the aid Of the Ex-
tension Specialists, the Principals
and Agriculturists Of the A. H. S.,
and the other educational forces of
the state, we hope to plant out an
additional 800 orchards. So that we
have set as our goal 1000 home or
chards for Mississippi this season.
We are not stressing the commercial
orchard. What we wish to do 81 to
get the people of the state to. coope-
rate in this vital patriotic matter Of
raising our own home food supply,
and fruit is a valuable part Of our
total food supply. We recognize this
generally by the truism that "An ap-
pie day will keep the doctor away"
For this home orchard we are recon-
mending a succession of fruits, be-
ginning with the earliest ripening,
and continuing through the season.
For North Mississippi we make the
following recommendation Of varie-
ties:

DISPLAY OF ANGER BY
JUG0-SLAv DELEGATE
Hinco Hineovich, at Philadelphia
Conference, Dissatisfied With Pro-
posed Territorial Distribution.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, October 25.-
Angered because, in his opinion, his
countrymen were treated unfairly In
outlining of the map of the middle
European territory for which Czecho-
Slovak delegates now in session here
will tomorrow issue a declaration of
independence, Hinco Hincovich, rep
resenting the Jugo-Slav people, tore
up the draft OF the boundary lines
and threatened to withdraw from the
conference.
The protest of the Jugo-Slav dele
gate caused an uproar in the conven-
ton. but following an explanation by
Prof. Massyrak, president Of the
Czecho-Slovak council the session re-
sumed order.
According to Mr.. Massyralx, the map,
which the Jugo-Slav delegate insisted
should not have been made public,
was hung merely to show the Ameri-
can people the approximate locations
of the various mid European nations.
The claims of Poland and Albania
were considered at today's forenoon
session. The Polish delegate. T. N.
Helinski, pointed out that the new and
democratic Poland promised to rank
fifth or sixth among the nations of
Europe, and that President Wilson
could be depended upon not to allow
any nation. to be unjustly treated
when the peace conferences became
official facts.

administration officials said. according
to the senator, that the order is not In
reality an embargo, but is a licensing
system. made necessary in order to limit
shipments Of grain, especially corn and
oats. go as not to exceed elevator ca
pacity at terminal markets.
Our shipments Of grain to Europe"
said Senator Hitchcock. "have been
much reduced lately because of the
necessity of using ships for the trans
portation OF troops and supplies to
France. This has resulted in some
congestion in elevator centers.'
Senator Hitchcock said. in his opin-
ion, the drop in corn prices is not so
much due to the licensing system and
the limitation being placed on ship
ments as 1t was to the prospects OF
peace.
