one of the states the democrats must
carry to win, and Cox is the strongest
bid they could make for the Ohio
vote.
If by any chance the San Francisco
convention should decide that the only
hope for democratic success lies in
nominating a man who has not been
connected with the Wilson admins
tration, Cox will probably be the first
man considered.
That there will be more than a few
delegates who will take this view is
enough to control the convention is ex-
tremely doubtful.
What is far more likely to happen
is that McAdoo will be nominated for
president and Cox for vice. president.
Geographically this would be per-
feet combination from the democratic
standpoint.
Such g. ticket would have many
other elements of strength.
Both McAdoo and Cox are splendid
campaigners and could be depended
upon to make the most aggressive
fight possible for democratic primaries.

Meade is the only candidate for the
democratic nomination who may be
said to have national reputation.
Palmer comes nearer to being in
McAdoo's class in this respect than
any of the others, but Palmer's cam
paign for the nomination fizzled out
before it really got started and is no
longer taken seriously by anyone, pos
sibly excepting himself.
1t is freely predicted by those who
are in touch with political affairs in
Pennsylvania, Palmers home state,

posed by un-instructed delegates in all

The candidacy of Governor Cox of
Ohio, next to that of McAdoo, meets
with most favor among democratic
leaders and uninstructed delegates.

as McAdoo's, is next best, as Ohio is

action on the part of the county if
they want the jeff Davis Highway
This is very important matter
to our people, and something should
be done, OF we will lose the high
way. Believe US or not, there are
some of the biggest men in the
state interested in seeing that the
Hig hw'ay goes through Yalobusha
County, and certainly we should at
once get busy and assure the Commits
sioners of this road that we are ready
to do our part.
In dollars and cents it means hun
dreds of times more than our part
will cost US, and from a standpoint
of pride our interest should be awak-
ened in the proposition. Certainly
good roads are bound to come, and
the towns that are on this Highway
will lead over those that are not

road are using every possible means
to change the route, and if we are
not careful the workers there are

rangements to that end, | am author
lied by the President to say that the
matter will be brought up before the
next convention in jackson as to
whether or not these counties have
not forfeited all their rights in th3
premises to retain the Highway.
There are other counties in Mississ-
ippi, as you know, that are anxious
for the j. D. Highway to pass
through them, and will build it up
as early as conditions will permit in
n the way of securing material and
contracts, if they could get it. We
find in routing overland tourists
through Mississippi that we are en-
barrassed when we tell them that
the J. D. Highway is alright through
some counties and impossible in
others, and for that reason we be-
lieve that this is one very important
matter that will come up for discus
sion and probable changes at the
next meeting of its members. | am
writing this letter to you not with
any purpose whatsoever of disurbt
ing the former decisions of the J. D.
Highway as in convention assembled
or through its regular constructive
committee, but to give warning that
unless these agreements entered into
when these decisions were made are
not speedily complied with that of
necessity some changes will have to
be made in the routing Of this high
way through certain counties in your

about having hot I'M in the

successful in getting School to
put hot lunches in I he hool below
is the letter received ~ the teacher
of Langham school hShas success
fully done this.
My dear Miss Doris:
| am writing you t9 let you know
how we carried outInur hct lunches
at Langham Schoo
After you anu Ms Rogers were
out here on Wedne liay, we had our
first hot lunch on lrAlay. The child
rem thought it such a grand thing
and enjoyed. it so much that we de-
cided to have hot lulch in our school.
Now, we did not hive very much
to do to get started all we needed
was nice little cupboprd to keep our
dishes and cooking VESSELS in and that
was not very much tgouble to make.
Every child was ready and willing to
bring anything they had at home
that we might need
Some days W VIC Id have soup,
some days hot chocola and fruit of
some kind.
This isn't the leas' bit expensive
as we had everything at home that
was necessary. Neither do the child
rem lose anything from their studies
as we fixed everything at recess so
it would be ready fof dinner.
Now we didn't do tbs just for en-
joyment, but for the Important things
alone.
For it makes the Shildrens health
better, makes them grow more and
faster and stronger, healthier men
and women. 1t makas their minds
brighter and they feel more like
studying in the afternoon. Besides
it makes the children take more inter-
est in school and at 1.-The same time
teaches the girls and boys about bal
anced meals for themselves as well
as for anything else.
For we know the children take the
best OF care with their club pigs, cal
YES, chickens, etc., and feed them or
a balanc ID ration. So why can't we
do more for the healthIof the children
as | know all conside4 the health OF
their children the most important
thing in the world.
1t also gives the girls experience
in cooking and many other important
things in regard to their health
Some may think there isn't much
to the hot lunches, but they just
ought to try them and they would
find out different
All we hate about itlis that we did
not get to start them the first OF
school.
Thanking you and Miss Rogers for
the help given us.
