HOW TO MAKE YOUR BATE
RY LAST LONGER.


The man who is not use to
handling batteries might say
that the way to get the most out
Of battery is to use it just as lit
tie as possible. As 9 matter Of
fact, that would be just the wrong
way to go at it. Batteries are
made to be used and they can be
used regularly and put through
some pretty stiff PAGES and yet
last q long time, II the man who
uses them only follows few sim
pie rules Of battery care.
Here are q few Of the rules:
|. Be sure your ignition switch
is closed.
2. Pull out your choker.
5. Push out your cluth pedal,
SO that your starting motor will
have to turn only the engine.
4. The nstop on your starting
button, and your motor ought to
take hold. II it does not, then the
thing to do is to find where the
trouble is and remedy it before
you make another trial.
Battery life will be prolonged
|if these rules are preserved all
the year round and in all climates.

"a 49,
Jackson, Miss, august 10, 1919.
There is possibility that Pres
ident Wilson may come to the
state fair this year a. honor
guest.
According to the latest advices
from Washington the president
has delayed the start Of his
Swing around the circle" in be-
half Of the League Of Nations for
at least three weeks, and proba-
bly, longer, in order to direct the
government fight against the high
cost Of living.
Members Of the Mississippi del
egation in Congress say that the
President will be returning from
the Pacific coast about the time
the state fair opens, and they will
join in again urging him to in
clude Mississippi in his itinerary.
and make one address in jackson.
When the members Of Congress
from this state called on the Pres
ident shortly after his return
from Europe and urged him to
visit Mississippi, he Indicated
his willingness to do 50 il the
time and plans Of the trip would
make it possible.
Word IS expected within the
next ten days that will make it
definitely known whether for the
first time in the history Of the nar
ton, Mississippi lis to be visited
by democratic president. In the
event the invitation is accepted
the state fair management will

THE NEED OF THE AGED AND
THE DUTY OF THE
YOUNG.

OF the many things that the
people Of Mississippi have been
asked to do, know there is not a
more worthy cause than the cam
paign now on to raise funds to
build Home for the Old Men Of
Mississippi.
After having made survey Of
the state, and making an average,
we find about four hundred old
men now in the state in need of a
Home, and the plan for raising
the money is so easy until we
should be ashamed to refuse to
contribute.
Ny dear reader, can you, with
the love Of humanity in your
heart, refuse to invest = few dol
lars in Home for these Old
Men-in other words, refuse to
fix place for them to die?
Please take a look into other
states. See what they have done,
all without state appropriation.
Here are the number of Homes
in other states: Illinois, 63; Mas
sachusetts, 38; Pennsylvania, 1O6;
Indiana, &c; Virginia, IL; New
York, 81; Mississippi, none, ex-
cept the Old Soldiers Home, and
the Old Ladies' Home. Now, do
VIE think our state is keeping
pace with other states? What
will you do for these Old Men?
Don't you think it the duty Of the
young generation to provide a
place, and care for the AGED? :?
Don't you believe in the worthi-
ness of this cause Then if you
do, prove it by your action. That
will speak louder than words.
Some time in the near future,
the Field Secretary for the Old
Mems Home, vii call on you and
ask you to give q cash donation,
or subscribe to q fund to build q
Home for these four hundred
needy old men. Please do not let
us hear you say NO" Pray over
the mater, and see or test your
feeling. R. A. MADDOX.

lowing Monday. If you have q
boy or girl to send us this year,
let them come in the first day.
Let US work all classifications and
assignments at the same time
and not have to stop classes to as
sign some late conner. If you are
two or three days late it would
mean ten days or more for books
would have to be ordered.
Do not stand back and decide
not to come to this school because
you have heard that we have filled
all rooms. OF course the safe pol
icy is to write for room reserva-
ton, but if you have not done SO,
do it now. If you expect to be
with us this year, whether you
have been here before or not,
drop us a card and so state that
we may know just how to prepare
for you. We have had many res
ervations and have heard of many
who expect to come, but there is
always room for one more. II see
that the dormitories will not hold
the "bunch," we have several pri-
vate homes to offer you. They are
good boarding places and you can
get reasonble rates with them.
If there are two or three good
workers that would like to come

THE NEW MONARCH DUSTER
The use Of Arsenate of Lead
busted on cotton plants has prov
en- success in destroying the boil
Weevil. This should be used at
the rate OF about five pounds per
acre, busted on when the plants
are wet with dew, or late in the

Arsenate Of Lead has long been
recognized as an ideal insecticide,
but on account Of its sticky ma
ture it has been difficult to find a
satisfactory means for applying
it. The Monarch fills q long felt

neither has he been aking any calo-

reader, the public is the goat as usual,
Mr.. Patterson simply gets from under
by boosting up his hotel prices so that
inasmuch as it does not pinch him
any he can afford to come out and
endorse the new law. Leave it to
Patterson not to get the small end Of
it. Our good and wise legislators
when they attend that extra session
and bump up against this dawn Of a

will notice that astute Eddie Patter-
SON will not be the loser from the
