Pew of US escape measles-it
is one of the commonest of child
hood diseases. Every mother
knows the symptoms, but the
mistake that most mothers make
is in failing to realize that the
child is not fully recovered after
the eruption and fever disappear
The air passages are still inflamed
and If this inflammation is not
cleared up, the air passages may
be weakened, thus paving the
way for pneumonia or serious
disease of the lungs.
Nightly applications Of Vick's
tVapoRub will aid nature in
relieving this Inflammation. Be
cause Vicks acts locally by slim
ulation thru the skin to draw
out the inflammation, attract the
blood away from the congested
spots and relieve the cough. In
addition, the medicinal ingre-
dents of Vicks are vaporized by
the body heat. These vapors
are breathed in all night long,

self the surface craft. the airShip and

Flannery, president of the British So
cietv of Consulting Marine Engineers.
The tendency will naturally be TO
scout the possibility of a craft COM

tesoue is a practical man and his opin-
ion is supported by Sir John Fisher
who. when first sea lord of the British
admiralty. predicted that such craft
would come in no very distant time
and that the nations might then scrap
their navies ms junk.
The experiences of the recent war
show how difficult it is for surface
ships to fight airships or submarine
and a craft combining the qualities OF
the two that could seek refuge In
either air or water would drive sur

CHAS. H. IVY HANGED
FOR BAGWELL MURDER
Hoped to Last That Respite Wa

! Pittosboro, Miss, July 20. In the
presence of a small number of rela
tives and preacher. some guards anc
/ deputies, Charles II. Ivy, 65, wa,
hanged here today for the murder Of
Love Bagwell. The execution was held
inside the little brick Jail of Calhoun
County exactly-at O'clock, the last
minute allowed the aged man by law
Gov. Russell had been appealed to,
Sheriff Young had pleaded for a 30
day extension. Just before the last
minute the sheriff addressed the
crowd Of several thousand friends and
relatives of the convicted man. He
told them that his intercessions had
fallen on deaf ears. The governor
had refused to interfere. 1t therefore
became his painful duty to proceed
with the execution. Doors of the iail
were closed. Ivy was led to the gal
lows, the trap was sprung and his
neck was broken. Under the AIissis-
sippi law all executions must be pri-
vate, so only a small portion of the
hundreds who journed to Pittosboro
witnessed the final scene.
Ivy bore up well. He slept sounGly
last night, arose early and ate =
hearty breakfast His sons and tho.
wives and children came YESTERDAY
and We're with him to the last. Ap-
parently his conscience was not
hothering him and the fate in storr
held no terrors. He never gave IN
hope that at the last hour q respite
was coming for him. After Sheriff
Young and two me'r har+ : t4a l.-..
had filed an appe al to the g3vern9e
Ivy asked that he be allowed all t.n,c
possible.
About 2 o'clock this afternoon h.,
was brought down the steps of the
iail and out in the open air, and in 2
voice so weak that only those within
few feet of him could hear he ad

only to send him back TO the Nnw AL

CREASE IN THE Gov

| 1he cost of running the schools OF
the county for 512 months last veal
was $22,0o0.0O. and no one will saw
that the salaries were what they
should have been. 1t will be admitted
| that we had a few teachers who re-
celved all they were worth bat the av-
erage teacher did not receive suffi-
cient pay. If we ever supply orr
schools with good teachers we must
pay the prices that will appeal to such
teachers. The best teachers are quit
ting the profession and will continue
to quit so long as teachers salaries
are so much lower than the salaries
of other positions which these teach
ers are capable Of holding.
Other counties are realizing this
and are preparing to hold these good
teachers. Union County has just voted
three mill school levy. Madison
County has voted a four mill lew.
Pontotoc went from zero to five mills
last summer. The school levy in
Copiah County is seven mills. But it
is useless for me to go on enumerat-
ing what other counties are doing.
The question is, What are we going
to do ?" Just last week two excellent
teachers were in my office to see me
about schools. | told them the very

II we fail to vote the levy and il.
taxpayer loses the taxes he paws into
the state fund and the children lose
the advantages Of a longer term and
better qualified teachers.
1t was wise mar who made the
statement that if we need thing we
pay for it whether we get it or not.
II the farmer needs a mule, he paws
for him in the loss of production; if
need good roads we pay for them in
the loss OF time and the wear and tear
OF our teams and vehicles in getting
to the market; if we need good
schools, we will surely pay for them
by not giving to our future citizens
the preparation they should have.
Then are we going to pay FOR schools
and get them or are we going to pay
for them and not get hem?
A four mill levy, which means a
three mill increase, means that you
will pay three more dollars on the
thousand than you are now paving.
1t will mean that the revenue of this
county will be increased more than
$4,000 from this county levy and
$4,000 or more from the state. 1t
will mean longer school term and
better paid teachers which will
surely result in our schools being
filled with better teachers.
Every loyal citizen of Yalobusha
County outside of the separate dis
triets should go to the polls next Fri
day and cast a vote in favor of the
school levy.
