Where employers have anything TO
do with feeding and housing their
help, they should reflect that good
nutrition and . comfortable bed
make man able to do moro work.
A group Of boys who spent the
summer as farm workers two years
ago, came home with the report that
the farmer employing them rarely
gave them any meat Is eat. They
were fed mostly on vegetables and
pastry. The farmer was not prob
ably vegetarian on principle, but
he found that form of diet cheaper.
A good corn beef or pot roast din
ner daily would not have cost him
10 cents a person. Surely it would
have created more than that amount
of working energy. A tired worker
is never a profitable one.

THE SERVICE
OF POLITICIANS"

Political campaigns do not run
themselves. An enormous amount OF
preliminary organization must be
done. Some systems of settled poll
CIV, some definitely accredited list Of
candidates, must be presented to the
voters, otherwise action will not be
taken along definite and practical
lines.
Suppose no one laid any plans or
framed any program in advance OF
primaries and elections. The voters
would come to the polls without any
conception of what candidates stood
for, and what they would do if they
were elected. The people would vote
blindly and unintelligently, many ir-
would be chosen. There would be no
responsible and incompetent officials
we'll defined programs of policy to
work on. Everything would run hit
or miss.
The public feels irritated at con-
troll by rings and bosses, and the
body of politicians big and little.
Yet the class Of people known as
politicians, are not fools. They are
as patriotic and honest as the aver
age man. They are no doubt seek
ing their own interest. Yet they
realize that they can not advance
in public favor, unless they provide
a fairly decent administration of
public affairs.
So while the politicians are often
short sighted and time serving, yet
they preserve a minimum standard
of fitness in politics. They elimi-
nate many candidates who are alto
gether unsuited to the office they
aspire to.
The politician element is responsive
to the voice of the people If the
people make it clearly manifest that
they want thing done, the poll
ticians tumble over each other in
their eagerness to accomplish it..
Then they all claim to have originat-
ed it, though commonly the idea
starts from an entirely different
type of mind.

WOMEN PLAYING
BASEBALL.

The old fashioned girl who used
to sit on the porch and do embroid-
cry, never played baseball. 1t would
not have been proper,s and besides
her feet got tangled up in her
flowing flounces.
In many girls colleges and clubs
of today, baseball is one of the
regulation sports for women. The
theory has always been entertained
that a woman could not throw a
baseball. Possibly the rib extracted
from Adams side never adjusted it.
self properly to arm movements.
But you can't place any limits to
things women can do, and they have
overcome much greater handicaps
than this.
While women will not during this
generation compete with men as
professional players, the game is
perfectly we'll suited for the ordi-
nary woman, or girl who likes ath-
letic sports. The girl of the future
will think less of her complexion,
and more about her ability to do
interesting things.

A TIMELY WARNING.

There has been much complaint OF
late about the shooting around over
town. We have no idea that those
who indulge in this kind of sport do
so to annoy the citizens of the town,
or with any evil intentions. There
fore we wish to say to those who
indulge in this sort of past-time,
that the citizens are complaining of
your conduct. Lay your guns aside
until you need them.
There is a law prohibiting carry
ing concealed pistol. There is no
doubt in our mind but this law is
being violated by many people in
and around Oxford. If the next
grand jury fails to find indictments
against a number of those fellows
who are bold in law violations they
will not have done their duty.
We might as well be frank in this
matter. Our attention has been
called to it more than one time, and
by people who are going to see that
a stop is put to it. 1t is regrettable
that our town authorities permit
such disorders around over the town
at nights. We can only say that if
the town authorities are powerless
to cope with the situation, then the
sheriff of the county should be call
ed upon to take a hand in the mat
ter. If he refuses to act, or function,
then it will be timely to call a mass
meeting of the peaceful, law-abiding
citizens of the town, and appoint
vigilance committees to round up
the FOUNDERS"
We trust that these methods will
not have to be resorted to, and that
those who have been unthoughtful
indulging in the past time mention
ed, will take hint and lay their
pistols aside.
Let us discourage law violations
rather than encourage them by per-
hitting the violators to go unpunish-
ed.

MONEY. IN
PRIMARY CAMPAIGNS.

On the Democratic side it does
not appear that much money is
being spent in getting presidential
convention delegates. Several avow-
ed candidates are in the field. But
they are working in normal way,
without costly publicity bureaus.
They are getting support on their
merits, and trusting mostly to volun-
tary effort.
On the Republican side different
situation exists. The supporters of
several candidates are reported to
be spending a lot of money. The
people will be very curious to know
who is putting up these funds, and
for what purpose, and how all this
money is being used.
Popular feeling is more and more
hostile to lavish expenditures in put
ting over elections and nominations.
If the man who puts out the most
money is going to win campaigns,
there will soon be an end to good
government, and elections will be-
come an auction.
A candidate who has any chance
of winning can always get lot of
volunteer support. He does not
need a great force of paid workers.
His cause will grow by its own
momentum, by its own inherent
strength. The people are anxiously
looking for sound and broad states
manship and initiative. They can
be very quickly aroused to take an
interest in any promising candidacy
without the manufacture of enthus-
iasm by artificial means.
William J. Bryan had a good idea
in the campaign of 1908, when he
demanded publicity of campaign
contributions. Where so much
money is being spent, lot of it is
sure to leak out in improper ways,
even with the best intentions of the
candidate and his managers. The
candidates will do much
better to cut out money bags. The
man who has a good cause will find
it to grow faster and will win more
real friends, if it seems to stand
purely on it's own merits.
Oxford eagle. (Oxford, Lafayette Co., Miss.) 1876-current, 1920-04-08
FATIGUE AND
PRODUCTION.

The effect that fatigue has in
slowing up mental processes is sug-
gested by figures of accidents in
workshops at Frankonia, Germany,
before the war. When the shops
worked 8 1-2 hours day, they had
only / per cent of accidents, when
they worked 13 hours day, nearly
Ia per cent of the men We're hurt,
showing how fatigue slows up men
tai processes. The same cause that
makes men more likely to accident,
must tend to make them do poorer
work.
One of the greatest causes of IA
tigue and of consequent industrial
inefficiency, is poor ventilation. You
frequently find half dozen people
working in some small room with
never a window open all day ex-
cent during warm weather. It is
not surprising that listlessness pre-
walls.
Business men would increase the
alertness Of their help by having a
plan for regular ventilation. If
some window or ventilator can't be
open all the time, lat least the win
dows should be opened frequently
for~a good airing.
Among out door workers 9 certain
amount Of muscular fatigue is inevi-
table and rather healthy, as il pro-
notes good sleep and appetite.

But you can't, because your blood

air and has fought off many germs.
And it now has Matchmaking proper

Pepto-Mangan is used by physic-

CIVIC EFFORT.

TClvlC EFFORI.
Theodore Roosevelt once said that
every man owes some of his time
to the upbuilding of the profession
to which he belongs" If a man
owes something to his own profess
sional body, he must owe even more
to his home town. Most men have
received more benefits from the
community in which they live, than
from the widely scattered people
who follow the same calling.
Yet how difficult it often is to
get people to give even a smaH
fraction of their valuable time to
public effort Thousands of towns
have organized Improvement organ
izations, and then it would happen
after several meetings that only a
few people would attend. If there
was an Office to be filled, people had
to be teased and teased to accept
it.
In other communities that show
the modern spirit, business and pro-
fessional men are willing to give
time to public work. Farmers and
mechanics will also quit their work
any time to take hold Of some pub
lie Improvement.
It would be a good general princi-
pie to lay down, that everyone ought
to be willing to give several hours
Of his time weekly to public entes-
|prises. This would not necessarily
mean adding anything to the burdens
people have to carry It should be
Ia pleasure for people to get together
and plan and work for some public
cause. They get social life out Of
lit, and really enjoy themselves as
much as if they were playing some
game.
| If people are willing to show this
community spirit, they would be
amply rewarded. Their gains would
come ii several ways:
