An Important Matter for Voters.

To the people of Mississippi
The present method of distributing
the State public school fund is unfair,
because on State money alone, IN
some counties, the schools are able to
run seven, eight, or even nine
months paying maximum salaries to
teachers, while in other counties the
schools can hardly be maintained for
four, five or Six months, paying mini
mum salaries.
A petition signed by more than
5000 qualified electors of the State
has been filed with the Secretary of
State calling for an election on a
proposed amendment to the Constitu-
ton, so as to authorize the Legislature
to appropriate the States public
school fund in such way as to equa-
lize public school terms throughout
the State. The amendment consists
of adding to Section 206 as it now
stands, the following sentence: But
the Legislature shall have authority to
make an additional appropriation to
oe disbursed by the State Board of
Education in such manner as to equal
ize the public school terms throughout
the State" The Legislature tried
to remedy this matter in 1914. but
its acts were declared unconstitution-
al.
On State money alone, the public
schools of the State should run for an
of the State. as the State does not
equal length of time in every county
owe any more to one child than it
does to another. trust that every
qualified elector of Mississippi will
90 the polls at the time of the regu-
ssr election. November 4th. AID vote
er the proposed amendment.
Very cordially yours,
w. F. BOND,
State SnnerintendenI of Education.

Mrs. J. P. Freret entertained
handsomely yesterday afternoon at
an All Halloween 900" matinee of
four tables. Appropriate place cards
for the players were used and dainty
little baskets filed with salted al
monds were the favors. The prizes
awarded by the hostess were unusual
~ attractive and well worth striving
for. A series of spirited games were
played, after which the contestants
were served delectable refreshments.
Mrs. Freret's party was one of the
most enjoyable and social successes
OF the early fall season.

Respectfully YOURS.
Hancock Co. Fair Association.

As copy of the FOREGOING was
offlclally addressed The Echo. that
part soliciting views for next years
fair, towards making it more of a
success than this years effort has
proven, we assume to make only one
suggestion, namely, that the feature
of commercial exhibits, which proved
so interesting in 1917, in addition to
the regular and live stock exhibits,
be featured extensively, nay, inten-
sively. This would not sacrifice the
purpose of the fair-the expansion
OF the farming, live stock and kim
dred industries, and practice of home
economies to a more proficient de-
gree would widen the scope of
the fair to the extent that business in
terests of Bay ST. Louis, where the
fair is annually held, would take an
active interest and not only contrib
ute many additional exhibits, but
would prove the one dominant fac
tor of ameliorating the financial side
| and revenues of the enterprise.
By all means, if we are to have The
Hancock County Fair next year, and
The Echo here expresses the hope
that we will, let the local merchants
and other business firms be represent
| ed by displaying their wares and let
them pay for the space their booths
will occupy in recArn for the adver-
tising thus afforded 1t will be re-
membered in 1917 what an unusually
interesting exhibit the Merchants
Bank, the Bay JeWelry Store, w. L..
Bourgeois, II. Weston Lumber Co.,
Jordan River Lumber Co., and 9TH
ers displayed.
The Echo would be pleased to have
printing press, power driven, in
actual operation, turning out adver-
tising literature to be given away
during the two days thousands of Wis
itors attended And we, like others,
would be glad to pay for the privilege.
Thus helping to give variety to the
exhibits, interesting the public more
and swelling the funds of the Han
cock County Fair Association so ne
cesary in order to defray the expen-
ses of holding the fair and giving
away attractive cash prizes.
AS to the exhibit of a part of an
up-to-date printing plant in full ope-
ration, we dare say this would be
new to many boy and girl and pos
sibly to as many more, of the grown
ups in Hancock County.
By all means let us have CONNER
cial exhibits at our county fair next
year. 1t will mean more interest
more education-more dollars.
Mr.. Pittman and Miss Cirlot and
othet mebers of the management
of the@fair, you solicited our sugges-
ton. You have it herewith. 1t is
respectfully submitted.

The management of the recent
Hancock County Fair thoughtfully
sent out the following letter OF
thank and appreciation to all exhib-
tors at the close OF the fair, and the
thought was both courteous and
timely, asking, as the letter does, for
suggestions regarding next years dis
play. The letter follows:
Bay st. Louis, Miss, Oct. II. 1919.
We, the Hancock County Fair As
scclatlon, wish to thank you for your
hearty cooperation and interest ta-
Ken IN the County Fair and, for the
exhibit you brought. Had everyone
given the cooperation and interest
that you did we would have had
much larger and better fair.
Your influence and co-operation
toward creating interest in the fair
movement will determine the success
of the fairs of this county in the fu-
ture- The Fair Association will be
delighted to hear from you at anv
time IN regard to your views of the
fair

Piled into a tangled mass, mangling

Is nearly opposite, were first to reach
the wrecked machine. They were
followed by E. Kenneth Jacquith,

to the bar in plane. Jacquith said
both were dead when he reached them.

Domestic Servants
To Be Organized
Into Trade Union
!Netp York Tribune
WdshinQton Bureau

VUSVtHUCOU DNTCQN
WASHINGTON, May GA resolu-
ton to organize domestic servants will
be introduced by Mrs. Raymond Robins
at the convention of the National Wom-
ems Trade Union League in Philadel-
phia, June 2 to 7, it was announced
to-day from Washington headquarters
of the league. Mrs. Robins will sug-
gest a complete reorganization Of the
American household for putting domes-
tic workers upon q footing with other
working women.
"Under present conditions" said Mrs.
Robins to-day, "the working woman
resents the suggestion that she seek
domestic service as a means of liveli-
hood, and resents the efforts to draw
or force her into it. She is tired of
having this ill-paid, trying form Of
manual labor urged upon her as pre-
eminently woman's field and proper
choice, when she knows that in almost
any other calling woman receives
not only better pay but more consider
alton and has perhaps a chance of adj
vancemcnt.
above all, the working woman bit
terly resents what she sees as a tend
ency to squeeze her out Of the better
paid jobs, where she is competing fair
ly with men. When despairing house
holders cry, What is to become Of the
American home if we can get no SER
vants?' the working woman demands to
know, Whose American home--yours
or mine?' For after all the working
women arc more numerous than the
women whose complaints are heard in
clubs and in the newspapers. Domestic
service means no home at all for the
domestic worker"
