ties they are receiving less. These
salaries were disgrace then; they
are an insult now, considering the
cost of living. %
And yet it is a fact that perhaps
ninety per cent of the voters of Mis-
sissippi do not even know what sala-
ries their teachers receive,
This problem is chiefly one of get

The quickest and surest way of

Let us not forget SO welcome our

The Division Manager is in receipt
of the following Communication from
National Headquarters:
eve are very aaxiuos that our
Red Cross personnel returning from
overseas service shall receive hear
ty welcome upon their return to this
country.
"We think that when they arrive
in their own home towns that Chap
ter Headquarters should extend them
a hearty welcome, and if they are
in need of positions, render them
every possible assistance in securing
satisfactory employment.
"We also feel that it would be of
great interest to the Executive Com

and hear relation of their exper-
fences abroad and show them some
appreciation of their patriotic SER

Helping Uncle Sam find jobs for
soldiers and sailors is one of the new
jobs of the Red Cross.
The Home Service work of each
Red Cross Chapter is a definite and
serious responsibility Although one
| duty is as important as the other,
yet the work of Home Service will
come under the closest scrutiny of
the American people
Home Service is here to stay, and
how we wish every citizen of our
| county were in our Home Service
class, to be prepared to help in this
great work, for their is much to do,
and only very few trained workers.
Dealing with the fe @Iings and for
tunes of these families is delicate
task and one that must not be shirk-
ed or casually undertaken.
The best thought and effort, and
! the most thorough preparation by
each Red Cross Chapter will be we'll
expended in the work of it's Home
Service section.
The Home Services section of Bay
Chapter extends sympathy to their
chairman, Mr. Hart, and family, in
the deep sorrow tht they have exper-
fenced during the past weeks. Two
homes connected to them by ties of
love and family kinship have been be-
reaved. While We are trying to help
our friends carry their burdens ours
are continually being piled upon us;
but we must "Bear We one another's
burdens and SO fulfill the law of

CUSTOM is ONE GENERALLY On.
SERVED OVER WORLD.
Jake Morales, kssidins en- Caiassvilis
Road, Has Elaborate Spread In
Front Of Specially. Built Altar.

The feast Of St. Joseph. occurring
on March 10Th is always an occasion
for special observance ameng Catho-
lies and every church OF the faith
the world over has special eelehrstian
in honor of the day. TAe' Day carries
much significance inasfnucA st, Jos
eph was the foster father &c the
Christ child, and special homage is
paid the saint on every recurring an
niversary,
1t has been the custom Of the faith
full in may parts Of the world, and
largely so in Italy, for the grateful,
the recipients OF some favor or other
special blessing. to show their appre-
citation by outward sign and material
charity. This gratefulness is shown
by exterior devotion. In private
homes affairs are erected and feast
is spread Of everything possible in
the way of edibles that can be pro-
cured. The greater the variety the
better the purpose and intention are
served.
The faithful gather around this
shrine throughout the day and the
spread of good things to eat is
finally distributed among the poor.
1t is the custom TO assemble, to break
bread with the host, to honor the day
with prayer.
The Italians Of Bay st. Louis,
principally among those who have
come from the old country, celebrate
the day in this manner. The great
shrine of this kind in Bay st. Loui,
this year was at the home of Jake
Morales, farmer on the Gainesville
Road, near this city. His humble
home was the scene Of an elaborate
spread before whi u magnificent al
tar has been spread. Both the altar
and spread were specially blessed by
the priests Of the church of Our
Lady Of the Gulf on the previous day.
The following day hundreds of nil
grims visited the shrine, broke bread
with the other faithful and invokea
the further blessing Of heaven.
Such feasts cost considerable mos-
ey, but the expense is ineenseouen-
tlal compared with the sntention.
While the past year h6s been an
eventtul one, yet there was much to
oe thankful for. The world war had
come to an unexpetced end and sps-
clal favors had been granted.

FOLEY, ALA, FOR THE COAST
INTER-URBAN.

The Fairhope, Ala, Courier, OF
issue dated March 14th says:
Mayor Mcintosh and the editor of
the Courier, on urgent request Of
Representative Holmes, attended a
meeting at Foley last evening IN the
interest of the proposed Coast inter-
urban lie, which has been proposed
as a public ownership proposition,
through cooperation of muaicipali-
ties on the route.
The Courier cannot report the
meeting at length, as the paper is
about due to go TO press, but the edi-
or cannot refrain from expressing
his great pleasure over the action
taken by the meeting.
1t endorsed without dissenting
vote, the proposition presented by
him that the same be financed by
securing permission from the Legis-
lature for the people interested to
organize themselves into district
for the purpose and secure the furds
necessary by issuance of bonds, pay
ment of which should be provided
for by special assessment upon the
land within the district benefited by
the building of the road; and apnl-
cation of the same principle applied
in cities to the improvement of city
streets and in various States per-
mitte3 for drainage ventures.
After the editors presentation ef
the proposition, Representative
Holmes, when called upon by the
chairman, contented himself with un-
reserved endorsement of the plan and
MI. C. A. Boiler offered molten
which was unanimously carried, en-
dorsing this plan If financing the
proposed plan.
The editor by no means claims
credit for his oratory in bringing
about this action, but that was his
privilege to frame and present a pro-
position which had previously COM
mended itself to those present, for
Mr.. Boiler remarked after the met
ing that thy had been considering
the matter and had concluded that it
would be practically impossible for
the road to be financed through the
few small municipalities.
The meeting then adopted motion
pledging the support of the Foley
community to the general proposition
of the inter-urban and Spanish Trail
project and appointed committee
consisting of Mayor Ludewig, ex-
Mayor Boiler and another whose
name we failed to get, to press the
matter and act with similar commit
tees appointed in other communities.

 Mir Browne, engineer in charge, stated that he had received a tele- gram from Chairman Edes along similar lines, that is that funds for continuing the railroad work may soon be available, and although there was nothing definite, the chairman's telegram gave reason to hope for an early resumption of railroad activities.
