TO PROHIBIT HOG
RAISING IN CITY
Ordinance Will Come Before City
Council Tonight Which Has Been
Drawn BY Health Officer.

If the City Council passes the ordi-
nance which will come before them to-
night at the regular meeting, it will
sound the doom for owners keeping
hogs within the city limits. An or
dinance has been prepared by City
Health Officer L. F. Barrier which
prohibits the keeping of these amin
ais in Greenwood, unless the owner
complies with such rigid rules, which
will make the raising of pigs in the
city too expensive. (
The ordinance prohibits the keeping
these animals in any inclosure, unless
provided with a concrete floor, by
drant, running water and the flush.
ing of the pens at least twice a day
Slaughter pens only are to be exempt.
ed.
1t is stated that a large number Oh
hogs are kept in the city limits anC
that the public health safety demands
the compliance with the proposed or.
dinance.

JACKSON WOMEN
TO FIGHT H. C. L.
Organize Thrift And Old Clothes Club
Won't Pay Over SIS For Hat And
so Cents Yard For Dresses.

The ladies of Jackson are strong for
economy. At a recent meeting of the
ladies of the capital city, a Thrift
And Old Clothes Club" was organized
and the women arrived at the conclu-
sion that things are costing too much
and money too slow to pay the
bills and that sound common sense
demands that prices come down.
Mrs. Lee M. Russell, wife of the
Governor was made chairman of the
thrift committee and has made public
the following resolutions:
Whereas-because of the excessive,
extravagant and useless buying the
prices of various commodities has
been raised to such an extent that the
average person find it difficult to buy
the necessities of life.
"Therefore-be it resolved that we,
the women of Jackson, organize our
selves for the purpose Of removing
these conditions and hat we be known
| as the Thrift and Old Clothes Club
Be 1t Observation-Disclosures we wear
our old clothes, and buy only those
things that are absolutely necessary.
Second-that we will not pay more
han fifty cents a yard for u sum-
mer dresses, and suggest and encour-
| age that such material as bingham,
wolfe, etc.
"Third-that we will not pay more
than twenty-five dollars for ready
made dresses and suits.
"Fourth-that we will not pay more
than five dollars for our summer hats,
and not buy our fall hats until Oct
ober.
"Fifth-That we will pay no more
than ten dollars for any pair of shoes
for adults, nor more than five dollars
for shoes for children under twelve
years of age.
"Sixth-That during the summer
we will confine ourselves mainly to
homegrown fruits and vegetables,
and that we will avoid the buying of
imported and out of season fruits and
ex~orbitantly priced canned goods.
"Seventh-That in view of the "a
preaching canning season and the fact
that sugar is necessary for the preser-
walton of our foods we heartily con-
denim the present price of sugar, and
pledge ourselves to be as conservative
as possible in the use of it.
"Eighth-That we pledge ourselves
against the use of Irish Potatoes I'M
til they are reduced to a reasonable
price.
"Ninth-That we condemn the pre-
sent price of butter, and as a protest
recommend the use of butter substi-
tutes."

convenient device, but is used in a
very short season. when cherries are
ripe. For the ordinary housewife who
must buy her cherries and who must
be very economical, a cherry pitter
could be called an extravaganza, but a
bread mixer, which is used twice or
oftener in a week, a wheeled tray
which is used daily in preparing and
clearing away the meal, saving steps
and strength-these are economical
labor saving devices.
A wire basket which is used for a
dish drainer and can be set into a

dishes, a pair of old shears to use in
cutting r~aisins, a knife sharpener, a
pair of pliers and a putty knife, with
a bunch of wooden skewers to use in
cleaning corners too small to reach
otherwise. are all handy. Some
housekeepers like the little rubber
plate scraper for cleaning plates ready
to be washed. A detachable ham
die for hot plates is good; as
is a card index for recipes, menus
and household hints and a small step
la oder. These labor saving devices
are in the reach of a large majority
of hOuSekeeperS. When electricity can
be utilized in the home, house cleaning
is mere play.

RUINATION TO FLOWER YARDS.

Some of the ladies are complaining
that some Of the Greenwood children
are literally playing havoc with their
flowers, and have requested The
Daily Commonwealth to\call attention
to the fact and ask the parents of the
aforesaid children to try to keep them
from molesting their flower yards.
These ladies say there is no use try
ing to grow flowers if the children
are permitted to destroy them.

unless more houses are built to rent
to people who are DESTROYS of locat-

KNICKERBOCKER.

AS they become more and more
remote in the nations perspective the
absurdities IL inebriation seem to
take on new Importance as sources
OF laughter. In "Call a Taxi" the
hilarious supplementary feature OF
the photoplay program arranged for
yesterday and today at CrandaiI's
Knickerbocker Theater. Snub Pollard
and a supporting cast OF EXCEPTIONAL
ly capable farceurs derive the tribute
of continuous merriment from the
predicament OF pair of renegade
husbands who are compelled by irate
wives to sleep off the effects of their
bibulous pastimes on the curb and
while there experience the ridiculous
horrors that are popularity supposed
to trouble the dreams OF gentlemen
whose hearts have been in the grave
since a notable July lst. There IL
much genuine humor in this brief
subject and almost unbroken testi-
mony OF artistic sense on the part
OF the director and the camera man.
The Pathe News. which also con-
tributed a note OF diversity to the
bill. is replete with pictured events
OF very real interest and the other
contributory features similarly round
ed out a roster of screen offerings
that betrayed distinctly iudicious
selection and painstaking presenta-
tion.
The major attraction for the
first two days OF the week at the
knickerbocker is the film version Of
George Ade's delightfully."- humorous
Oriental travesty. THE Slim Prin-
cess" in which Mabel Normand, as
sisted by Tully Marshal. Hugh
Thompson and an excellent cast,
achieves the most impressive comedy
characterization of her career. and u
complete review of which will be
found with the Metropolitan Theater
where this brilliant example of
screen wit also was accorded pre-
miere projection in the Capital yes
terday.
