Why the Rural Press Is a Power.

The things you know about are
the things you like to read about.
That is why country newspapers
have such a tremendous hold on
their readers. They tell them
about the comings and goings of
their friends and neighbors, the
people they know. Nothing on
earth is an interesting to the farm
ers and people living in town as the
news of their babies. the marriages
of their boys and girls, their social
and church events, the illness and
the deaths among their friends.
Year after year the country news
paper records the history OF its COM
munity.
Is it any wonder the country
newspaper is the most powerful ad-
vertising medium on earth? Just
as its power is great in holding its
readers interest, so is it helpful in
shaping thought and powerful as an
advertising medium. 1t turns the
printed word almost into the spoken
word.
No metropolitan daily, no maga-
zine, no billboard, no farm journal
good as they are-rings the bell
with farmers and small Town peo-
pie as does their home newspaper.
1t is an integral part of the commu-
nifty that cannot be filled by any
other medium. From Why the
Rural Press is Power" in Publish
er's Auxiliary.

The Proposed Amendment to Sec
200 of the State Constitution.

To the People of Monroe County:
The present method of distribut-
ing she state public school fund is
unfair, because on state money
alone. in some counties the schools
are able to run seven. eight or nine
months, paying maximum salaries
to teachers. while in other counties
the schools can hardly be main
tanned for four. five or six months,
paying minimum 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
proposed amendment to the Consti-
tuition, so as to authorize the Legis-
lature to appropriate the states
public school fund in such a way as
to equalize public school terms
throughout the state. The amend
ment consists of adding to Section
206 as it now stands. the following
sentence: But the Legislature
shall have authority to make an ad-
ditional appropriation to be dis
bursed by the State Board of Edu-
cation in such manner as to equal
ize the public school terms through
out the state" The Legislature
tried to remedy this matter in 1914,
but its acts were declared unconsti-
tutional.
On stateuFoney alone, the public
schools of the state should run for
an equal length of time in every |
county of the state, as the state |
does not owe any more to one child |
than it does to another. ] trust |
that every qualified elector of Mon
roe county will 90 to the polls |
at the time of the regular elec-
ton, November 4th. and vote for
the proposed amendment.
Very cordially yours,
w. F. BOND,
State Superintendent of Edcation.

OF Interest to Service Men.


The Bureau of War Risk Insur-
ance wishes to emphasize the inn
portsnce to service men OF one Of
the provisions of the War Risk In
surance Act upon the fulfillment OF
which may depend the validity OF
their claim to compensation under
the Act.
The War Risk Insurance Act pro-
yides that No compensation shall
be payable for death or disability
which does not occur prior to or
within one year after discharge or
resignation from the service, except
that where, after a medical exami-
nation made pursuant to regula-
tions, at the time of discharge or
resignation from the service, or
within such reasonable time there
after, not exceeding one year, as
may be allowed by regulations. a
certificate has been Obtained from
the director to the effect that the in
jured person at the time of his dis
charge or resignation was suffering
from injury likely to result in death
or disability
Many discharged men are not
familiar with or are inclined to dis
regard this provision of law and are
allowing their rights Hereunder to
lapse.
Request for the certificate men,
toned above should be made to

assessor shall hereafter be collected
by each respectively. but all of said
commissions, fees and emoluments
shall hereafter be paid by said Off

of the incoming tax collector to COL
lect by distress or otherwise this ten
per centum commission from all
persons paying taxes after he goes
into Office. and also against all per-
sons paying taxes after the 18th
day of December thereafter.
There is no obligation in this new
salary law requiring you and the
other tax collectors. whose terms
expire on January 4. 1920. to col
lect this ten per centum commission
and | suggest that you do not begin
proceedings by distress or otherwise
to do so, but conform to the pre-
vious practice of tax collectors, at
the same time giving publicity to
the provisions of the new salary law
so that the public may not be re-
quired to pay ten per centum addi-
tional to their already high taxes.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 30. 1919.
My Dear Friend-I am setting
cut below an opinion constituting
one phase of the new salary law.
This opinion is of vital importance
to every tax payer of your county
and L am anxious that they know
exactly their status under the new
law so | respectfully suggest that
you give it due publicity. otherwise
large number of taxpayers in your
county will be obliged to pay pen
alties besides their taxes if they fail
to pay their taxes before January 5,
1920.
Yours very truly,
Ross A. COLLINS.
Attorney General.
Hon. A.. E. HARRISON.
Sheriff and Tax Collector,
Hattiesburg. Forrest County
Mississippi.
Dear Sir have your inquiry OF
September Goth. which is a follows:
As sheriff and tax collector of
Forrest county, / will mail the tax
payers of this county statement of
the amount due for the year 1919,
and state that after December 18th
OF this year ten per cent. damages
will be added on all unpaid tax.
Now, will the next sheriff be able to
say to the tax payers that he will
not collect the damage after he
takes office or will he be forced to
collect this damage and turn same
into the county .treasury3'
OPINION.
Section 43I4 of the Code of 1906
provides that it is the duty OF every
person assessed to pay his taxes to
the collector on or before the 18th
day of December. and under Sec
tion 4315 all taxes remaining un-
paid on the 18th day of December
shall Immediately be collected by
the collector by distress or other
wise, and under Section 2197, the
collector is allowed ten per centum
on all taxes collected after the 18th
day of December whether collected
by distress or other wise. But, in
constituting this section our court has
held that the tax collector shall not
be entitled to such compensation
even after the 18th day of December
unless resort was made by him to
distress or some the other statutory
modes Of enforcing payment of de-
linquent taxes. The tax collectors
Of the various counties, however,
have uniformly elected not to do
those things necessary to collect the
ten percentum commission allowed
them, and the public has. therefore,
fallen into the general belief that if
taxes were paid by the first day OF
February no penalty or commission
could be charged against them.
The first day Of February is the last
day on which person may pay his
taxes without being disqualified to
vote. and the public has lost sight
OF the fact that it is their duty to
pay all taxes on or before the 18th
day of December.
The situation beginning January
5. 1920. will be entirely different for
the new salary law. being Chapter
102 Laws of 1916. will go into ei-
fect on that date and Section 8 OF
this Act provides that all fees and
commissions and other emoluments,

CLAIMS CORSET
TELLS STATUS

woman's social status can always
be determined by the mode Of corset
she wears, in the opinion Of Daniel
Hops. president OF the Memo Corset
Company. an authority on women's
apparel
Just as the barometer indicates the
state OF the weather, so corsets re-
fleet the social condition OF women.
said Mr.. Hops recently. III would
have been strange II the great eman-
.cipation movement in women'a actiV-
tiles had not resulted IN a change of
her mode OF living and dress" he con-
tinued.
Mr.. Hops calls Ia attention that
every historical period has produced
a mode In dress.
As the corset has always been con-
sidered the best means Of forming.

figure and holding Il in the fashion

the changes OF her social status" said
Mr. Hops.
He cited the hour-glass shaped
women OF n quarter of a century ago.
In those days the height OF a wom
ans ambition In life was to measure
an lS-inch waist, according to Mr..
Hops.
Fashion plates and magazines. of
those times prove this" he said. TO
day We feel as il those figures were
caricatures. II is but a matter OF
course that those women suffered
from the effects of that tight lacing,
and physicians always opposed the
use OF those Corsets.
that time? They craved a life Of ease
and pleasure. did not work and con-
sidered others degraded if they took
part in labor.
Revolutionary changes have taken

time. They have been on the way fer

worlds war FASTENED matters. 1t up
set customs and social standards of
women and all classes became active
~ engaged in Industrial, commercial
and professional pursuits to such an
extent that today a woman chooses
her own calling in the same way as
men have done for centuries.
The corset reflected these changes
by slowly becoming more an article
for health and comfort instead of one
OF fashion and torture. Changes in
the corset have run parallel with the
changes in woman's social condition,
so that today corsets do not represent
fashion. In fact, some of the ultra
fashionable women wear no corsets at
all or only such substitutes as girdles.

wishes to preserve her health and be
