According to the statement issued by DR. John r Mott, Director
General Of the United War Work Campaign, the total amount 10 he

The fund will be administered by the Government Director for the
seven recognized War Work Agencies, the Y. M. c. A., Y. W. &. A,
National Catholic War Work Council knights Of Columbus), Jewish
Welfare Board. War Camp Community Service, American Library Asso-
calcn and the Salvation Army.
The amount is the largest asked as a gift from any people
in d history Of the world" said Dr.. Mott. Viewed q a total sum,
it seems gigantic. but divided by the four million men who will be under
arms in army and navy during the period it is expected TO cover.

say that Is cents a day is too much to spend on his church. his home

Up the whole appeal in q recent letter in which he spoke OF the work Of
these seven great agencies as "f vital military importance" He had in
mind the fact that their activities are largely responsible for the mafnts
nance of the splendid morale Of u forces. There has neve been in
history ST spectacular an example of the extreme importance of morale

Napoleon sal that morale is rs other factors in war IS three TO

the agencies, quoted with approval the statement Of Of his colonies,
who said: Give nae nine lei who have a hut to spend their evenings in

While it is necessary to POSTPONE
all building possible until after the
war, some farm buildings are essen
tiaA to saving this years crops and to
increased production next year. No
building permit is necessary to put up
a farm building costing less than
100000, and where such buildings
are needed, expenses and labor can
be reduced by using the most practic-
able plans to be found.
A bulletin containing a list of plans
for farm buildings and conveniences,
including horse or mule barn, gener-
alpurpose barn, cattle barn, and shed
dairy barn, poultry house, hog house,
cor cribs, silos, implement shed, dip
ping watts. dairy house, home water
works, septic tanks, smoke house and
other miscellaneous conveniences, has
just been received from the printer by
Me Mississippi A. & NJ. College.
This bulletin is free to any one up
on request, and the building plans
listed are free to residents Of Miss

ambassador MorGcnthau in his vivid
story OF life in Constantinople during
/ the w;ir, devotes much space to the
brutal slaughter OF the Armenians,
c. whom more than L million were
directly or indirectly put to death.
Talaat, the head Of the government
ccolly and d~efiantly justified the mas
sacrcs when I. Morgenthau protested.
He said that the Armenians were

laid, for making no distinction be-
,ween the inocent Armenians and the
guilty; but that was utterly impossi-
bic in view of the fact that those who
were Innocent today might be guilty
tomorrow"
How thoroughly the massacres
were carried out may be judged by
the following:

'Taiaa: made what was perhaps the
mos. astonishing request l had ever

considerable business among the Ar

insured their lives was merely another
indication of their thrifty habits.

The old way to prepare mush was
in an iron pot, with wooden spoon
to stir it. Mother used to heat the
water in the pot, then sift in the corn
meal with one hand and stir the boil
ing mixture with the other until it
reached the proper consistency. Then
one of the boys or girls had to stand
over the mixture and stir and stir it
to keep it from Jumping; and stir
some more until it was done. 1t was
eaten with milk, or sorghum molas-
ses, or with butter. Enough was az
WAYS poured in a crock to cool for
morning, when it could be cut in slices
and fried in bacon grease for break

five cents. It's good; but hardly equal
to what mother used to make.
