FAIR SEX INCREASE THE
WEALTH OF THE STATE

Agricultural College, Miss, March 21.
In her report before the quarterly
meeting Of the extension workers held
Tuesday at A. & NJ, Miss Susie v.
Powell summarized in striking figures
the volume Of work done last year BY
the home demonstration force of Mis-
sidsippf Under the supervision Of
the agents there were formed 1000
community clubs Of Mississippi wom-
en- with membership Of over $4,000
and reaching more than 100000 9TH
ers. These club members put up over
100000 pounds Of fruits or vege-
tables and packed 1,399,590 cans:
while women not belonging to clubs
but acting under the direction of the
agents packed 100000 more cans.
Miss Powell presented illuminating
statistics on the cash value of the work.
The butter produced by these women
amounted to more than $4,000,
canned goods to $750,000, dairy pro-
ducts to $110,412, poultry products
to $102,310, food saving at Camp
Shelby, under the direction Of the food
expert of the home demonstration
corps as reported by the camp quart
ermaster, $181, ,765, and economic saw
ing through the killing of two hun
dred thousand rats, 100000, making
a total contribution to the wealth Of
the state Of $1,744 ,487.
Miss Powell laid strong emphasis
however, upon the insufiiciency Of sta
tistics to convey more than hint Of
the real work done by her force of
workers. The large values realized
by the home demonstration agents in
more-satisfying food, finer cherish
ing of childhood and enriched home
life cannot, of course, be computed,
she said. Times-Picayune.

ALL HUNGRY FOR CHOCOLATE
War Children Of France Actually Had
Never Tasted That Delight
ful CONNECTION.

Children born In France since the
beginning of the war have just made
n glorious discovery. They have
tasted chocolate. In congested
quarter of Paris, writes nm Associated
Press correspondent, u line stretching
for more than 100 yards waited
chance to enter n grocery store. Four
policemen were keeping order among
the crowd and women were actually
struggling for place in the line.
"What are they fighting for?" po-
licemnn was asked.
"The store Is selling quarter Of n
pound of chocolate to each one" re-
sponded the officer. "That Is the rea-
son you see so many women bear
Ing their children In arms; they are
allowed half Il pound then"
The correspondent asked one of the
women who had with her n fine child
and was stubborniy holding her. place
on the slippery. slushy sidewalk,
whether she thought It was worth
while to risk pneumonia In order to
get half pound Of chocolate.
"iou see" she replied, "this baby
has never yet tasted chocolate"

great pitcher and hitter, but because
the fullest use has been made of him
to advertise his strength In these two
departments. Babe can pitch In
worlds championship form and clout
home run over the fence; he can
clean the bases In pinch, and he can
bring his heavy artillery into daily
play by handling Il first base or out
field position acceptably.
"In this respect lie, however, does
not surpass or even equal Sisler.
George Is as great or n greater pitcher
than Ruth. know this. He showed
me his quality In major league games,
too. Look back at his record IL you
don't believe this. AZ u batter and
all around player, leave the records
to show his ability rs compared with
Babe. He battcd 1897 last year to
Ruth's .297 he led the league In steal.
ing bases In an abbreviated season,
dlstancing Cobb and the other stars OF
the American league.
Fourth In Fielding.
"He was fourth first baseman In
fielding percentage; as an outnelder
he showed wonderful promise. His
great covering ability, fine throwing
arm and daring would make him u
star at any position, where Ruth
would be merely a defensive filler.in,
tolerated because of his hitting. Save
for the pitching his superiority to
Ruth will not be disputed by anyone,
and myself am certain that he Is
also Ruth's pitching master.
"Why Is II that Ruth Is so much
more prominent than Sisler. and
draws twice as much salary as the
st. Loulsnn? The answer Is that Sis.
Ter has not been exploited beyond 30
per cent of his publicity vaine, and
not more than 20 per cent Of his play
ing efficiency"
