"The White Rock"

TINE author OF The White BOOK, j. B.
l. Harris Burland, is an Englishman
who devotes most of his literary effort to
mystery stories. In this volume he has
fairly good set of characters: an aged
nobleman who is brutal toward his beau
tiful wife; her former lover, just returned
from service in India, and, of course, the
beautiful wife. The lover, after coming
to call and making bit Of reciprocated
love to the wife, goes and plays chess
with the nobleman, hess being old Sir
Robert Grimwood'S hobby.
Sir Robert disappears and white rock
with a red stain on it is found on the
grounds. Sir Robert left q nasty note to
his wife. Presently a gamekeeper is
found dead. You can well imagine that
inspectors came quickly from Scotland
Yard. Enter also the wicked Lord Wi
verify, who loves Lady Grimwood, and a
Chinaman named Ling Foo, also a chess
PLAYER and the possessor of a mysterious
drug.
The author must be admired for mixing
up his characters, but he cannot be for
given for messing up the readers emo
tons It is not the rule to make reader
sympathize with a lady in book and
then at the finish to permit the bronzed
faced hero to go and marry another, and
rather limp, heroine. In fact It is the rule
outside Of tragedy to do quite the contrary.
When a writer gets sick of his heroine
he must stop and think whether the reader
will also be weary of her.
Only villains cast pure but misunder-
stood ladies aside at the end of a book.
Authors should not do this unless they
are Thomas Hardys, and there is only one
Of him.

The Hills of Refuge"

TT lie point has been pressed upon us
Il Of late that we need more sugar
than has been our portion under the reg
ulations of the Food Administration. Pos
sibly it is to help fill out this particular
shortage in our diet that VIII N. Harden
wrote the ultra saccharine novel called
The Ellis of Refuge. For In. its exposi-
ton of the all embracing triumph of viz
tue this story is cloying in the extreme.
William Brown was banker who lived
in Walnut street "near Beacon in Boston,
and ike the neighborhood was correct and
of good reputation. But like many an

other banker in fiction and melOdrama
he specialized with other peoples money.
He lost 100000.
His brother Charles was what the un-
regenerate would call "a regular Teller"
lie spent his money wildly, went ON
sprees, and the reader is introduced to
him on one shocking Sunday morning
when he was enduring the horrors of
Hangover" But when Charles discovered
that William was about to commit suicide
on account of his embezzlement Charles
agreed to be the sacrifcial goat and left
Boston with the cloud of that crime hang
ing over him. Meanwhile he had tered
a moral and an alcoholic change. 70 es-
cape the police he joined a circus a
canvasman and eventually wound Vi IN
Mr.. Harben's beloved Southland, whare
he hired out as a farm hand to Miss Mary
Rowland, who was the brains and driving
force of a down at heel Southern family.
Here in "the hills of refuge" he saved
from death the victim Of a drunken brawl
in which Mary's two worthless brothers
were the aggressOrs, saved Mary from a
brutal sutton, converted the two boys from
the paths of sin and even made the elder
Rowland give up his foolish task Of writ
ing a genealogy of the Rowland family.
And then, back in Boston, tie guilty
William suffered so bad nervous break
down" that he too became regenerated and
Charles was cleared of the imputation Of
crime and was free to marry the lovely
Mary at last.
incidentally we may mention that the
manner in which Mary threw herself at
Charles was v,r Y of the most advanced
circles in Gre, awich Village, thus seeming
to prove that even rural Georgia has not
BEEN untouched by the most feministic
theories Of our degenerate Northern times

Betty Marchand"

THERE is no brilliancy or humor IN
l. Beatrica Barmby's story Of Betty
MGrchand, but there are sanity, sweetness
and the determined preservation of ideals.
Many hard working girl will find in it
the reflex Of her own hardships and
temptations, fact that may dim her eyes
to the lack of the subtler graces. The
story opens with the childhood of Betty,
q childhood marred by humiliation that
her "things" were so different from other
children's. The funny old fashioned
wooden skates several sizes too large were
such painful contrast to the shiny, per.
fectly fitting ones worn by her compan-
ions. Yet Betty did not fail in her re.
solve to do everything the other children
did.
The modern child's splendor OF appli-
ances makes the author wonder, as all
thoughtful people must, how much the
latent resistance to difficulties is weakened
BY indulgent affection, but mothers read
ing Of this little martyrs repeated falls
on tho ice would prefer almost anything
to pr g their own children through the
same t1rtH.es.
The experiences of the fascinating
Betty, V ilich continue through varied
business career to final happy marriage,
seem largely biographical or certainly the
fruit of intimate personal observation.
Few business women are so irresistible to
men as this heroine and fewer still so
triumphantly rewarded for repelling the
bold advances of their customers; but
Betty had both the will and the way, and
so she was able to make even her supreme
remuneration fit exactly into the ro-
mancer's happy design.

PUT THE IDLE TO WORK.

Meridian, Miss, Ma y 25.-Em-
phasing the national menace of idle
labor, E. D. Self, federal director for
Mississippi of the United States En-
ployment Service, with headquarters
in this city, says:
81 expect to force every idle man
in Mississippi to work through the
power of public opinion"
"No man in America has the moral
or legal right to remain idle while the
women of France are following the
plow," he declares.
Director Self makes d strong APP
peal to every minister in Mississippi
to preach a special sermon on Sum
day, June 2, from the well-known
text, "Six days shalt thou labor"
stressing the vital patriotic necessity
for bringing into active industrial and
agricultural operation the maximum
man-power of the nation.
"Vagrancy laws should be enforced
to the letter, and should be supple
mented by even more stringent local
ordinances" declares Mr.. Self. sit is
rapidly coming to the point where
the man who will not work may not
eat"
He states that Jackson, Vicksburg
and other communities are planning
to inaugurate an accurate censu to
determine and discover the idle, nom
productive element of the population,
and then take steps to put it to work.

TIRED OF GIVING? YOU DON'T
KNOW WHAT FEELING
TIRED MEANS!

Is your answer, 81 am tired of
giving?"
If you are tired of giving, how
about those who are tired of being
hungry?
How about those who are tired of
being cold?
How about those who are tired of
being homeless?
How about the soldiers, who, for
hours, days at a time, are facing
for US wounds and hardships and
death?
How about the blind, who are tired
of not being able to see?
How about the little children who
are tired of standing at the end of
the long bread lines, only to be
turned away empty handed, because
there is not enough for all?
How about the mothers, with
babes, clasped to their breasts, who
are tired of the never-ending an
guish of witnessing the sufferings
of their flesh and blood?
What, we ask you, is your weari-
ness to theirs?
II have given once, yes, and a
second time, and a third time," you
say, with complacency, with SNUG
satisfaction, with a feeling, mayhap
of duty well done.
II have given my share, | have
given enough, | am tired of giving"
you say to those who ask you to give
but a little more.
Shame upon you for your ans
Iwer!
Is it not a cold and heartless
answer, to give to those who ask
only, that out of your abundance,
YOU put a bit of bread into the hands
of a starving man o. woman, that
YOU provide a cup of milk for a help
less infant who will die without 1t,
that you purchase a garment to cover
the nakedness of those who are freez-
ing. that you help to put a roof over
the heads Of the homeless, or that
and this is equally, if not more import
ant than the rest,-that you fail to
assist the government of your W
country in this hour of its need, that
YOU fail to back up those men who
without question have gone to risk
and to give their lives.

TO PRESERVE WAR HISTORY

ter from Mrs. Dunbar Rowland to
Mrs. Jack Jones in which she makes
an appeal that Mary Stuart Chapter
o fthe Daughters Of the American
Revolution enter a contest for the
preservation Of the war history of
Lee county. The state organization
is endeavoring to preserve a correct
history of the part each county plays
in the war and for this purpose the
organization is endeavoring to col
lect through some local representa-
tive in every country, events of in
terest which will be preserved in the
form of a scrap-book.
Lee county was formed in 1866,
since the close Of the Civil war, and
the records of this county are joined
with the records of Itawamba and
Pontotoc counties from which this
county was made. The only wal in
which Lee county citizens have parti-
capted was the Spanish-American
war, in which a number of our young
men participated, and who bear an
honorable record. We should begin
with the first call to arms in 1917
and preserve every record that goes
to make up the future history of the
war for this county. All events that
can be recalled should be collected
and preserved. The call is for some
one to take up this patriotic task and
follow it to the close of the war.
The columns of the Journal will be
open at all times to aid in furthering
this movement. Mrs. Jones will also
join in this work and will be glad to
confer with anyone on the subject.
Mrs. Rowland's letter follows, and is
self explanatory:
Jackson, Miss, April 10, 1918.
Mrs. j. R. Jones, Tupelo Miss,
My dear Mrs. Jones:-Will you
please let me know if your Chapter
will enter the contest for the best
scrap-book Of war material, in COM
petition for the prize of$50.00, about
which / wrote you some weeks since!
I IN anxious for every Chapter to
enter this contest, as the collection of
our war material is most important
and all other states r doing this
work. We would not like Mississip-
pi to come out of this great historical
epoch, with no var record to her
credit. She has furnished her full
quota of brave young men and in
every Government call for help,
whether financial, industrial or per-
sonal, her citizenship has "gone ov-
err the top" Shall this good work
and the sacrifices her young men have
made be unrecorded? In every for
mer war, Mississippi has had a bril-
liant career; she will make another
in this war. Shall her deeds be un-
recorded and so lost to ~posterity!
Please read my last letter carefully.
And remember that. your Chapter
must confine its activities to its own
county, and the Chapter furnishing
the best collection of war material
will receive a prize of $4,000.
With every wish for your success,
Faithfully yours,
Enon O. Rowland,
Mrs. Dunbar Rowland.)
This collection of events will be
used as a scrap-book and everybody
is urged to contribute articles of IN
terest.

The night firing is done by having the

When we are firing full force there
are sixty targets with eight relays to

ENTERTAINMENT IS NECESSARY.

"a dark, cold world calls for the
light of laughter, and he who can
cause a smile at this time is serving
his country" comments the editor OF
the Columbus, Ohio, Dispatch under
recent date.
"Not that we should give way to the
frivolous and pay no heed to that
which is serious" he continues; mot
that we should encourage extrava-
gance and prodigality; not that we
should desire to be entertained, to the
exclusion of work that must be done.
1t Is not that. But we need amuse-
ment along with the strain which the
people are undergoing. One cannot
work at top speed continuously with
out breaking under the strain-no
more than a nation can do so. We
must live normal lives-or as nearly
normal as is possible-if we would be
fit for the greatest of tasks which the
world has ever given US to perform y
