Canning Meat in Yazoo.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 14.-Accord-
ing to statement made by Mrs. M.
S. Dodds, the farmers of Yazoo coun-
ty, have gone to canning all kinds
of meat. The board of supervisors
in order to encourage them in this
enterprise have agreed to purchase
large canning outfits for each super
visor's district, and all-day meetings
are to be held to use the public can
'ner, machine that is operated by
steam and puts up 500 cans of meat
per day. 1t is said that rs fat year.
lings have been listed for canning,
and it is expected that a number of
porkers and several coops Of chick
ems will share the same fate. DR..
Anthony, a government expert at
this business is expected to come
down from Washington to attend
some Of these meetings and see that
the canning industry starts off right
The Yazoo supervisors purchased
these canning outfits of their own ac-
cord, 1t is said and the citizens of
the five districts will build the hous-
es that are necessary for the public
gatherings and community cannings.
The farmers will can their live
stock, fruits and vegetables, when
ever they feel inclined, thus saving
all surplus that has heretofore gone
to waste.
Some of the Yazoo county girls
made fine records in home economics
and are now reaping their rewards.
Miss Martha Carley won first prize
at the State Fair on her mustard
pickles. and it.was so good that one
Of the leading merchants Of her coun-
ty has agreed to buy all she makes.
Miss Fannie Waller put up $500
cans of tomatoes, beans and soup
mixture and the judges declared her
products SO excellent that one mer-

NURSING SERVICE IS
RAPIDLY EXPANDING
This American Red Cross Work
FIoGHehlng In Small TewHs
Throughout Country.

More than $1,000 graduate nurses
nave been enrolled in the American
Red Cross to date and its department
OF nursing is daily increasing this en-
rollment.
The department of nursing has been
authorized to maintain an adequate
reserve Of nurses for the army and
navy. 1t will continue to supply the
needs of the United States Public
Health Service to which II has as
signed more than 1000 nurses In the
last year.
1t VIII assist In establishing proper
nursing service In foreign countries
where the American Red Cross has or:
ganized hospitals, dispensarIes and
schools for nurses. Courses in home
hygiene and care Of the sick have been
started for thousands of women who
have never received any education In
this direction. Rural nursing which
was In its infancy a short while ago
has been put ahead at least a decade
through the work Of the department
OF nursing and local Red Cross
chapters.
Public health nursing has been ex.
tended to many rural communities and
now fourishes actively in hundreds Of
small towns and counties. Nearly a
thousand efficient nurses have already
been assigned to this kind of work.
The department Of nursing Is unit.
log with other organizations in a years
campaign in recruiting nurses for
training schools, in educating the gen.

offer to women and young girls the
opportunity of securing instruction In
home hygiene and care Of the sick in

instruction has not only laid the foun-

places has given impetus to the estab-
lishment Of hospitals and community
school houses.
"As community profits by the work
OF the nurse" says Miss Clara d.
Noyes, director Of the department of
nursing, ut Is logical that the COM
munity should be aroused to its respon-

Using Less Cotton
Than in Six Years

Washington, Nov. IS. = Curtail-
ment of cotton manufacturing which
has resulted in the complete shut
ting down of some mills and the plac-
ing of others on part time, was re-
flected in the October cotton con-
statistics announced today
by the Census Bureau. The amount
of raw cotton used for manufactuh-
ing purposes last month was the
smallest of any month in the last
six years. The quantity used in Oc-
tober was 399,S37- bales, or 156, 900
bales less than used during October
last year. and $1,000 bales less than
used during September this year.
Mills in the northern states seem
to have curtailed production to a
greater extent than those in the
south. The spindles active during
October for the entire country out
674,291 less than in octo-
Der last, year, while in cotton-grow-
ing states the number of active spin
dies in October showed an increase
Of 644,940 over October year ago.

RED CROSS ACTIVE
IN DISASTER RELIEF

When disaster hits a community
fire, flood, earthquake, explosion, bad
wreck or tornado-the American Red
Cross can be depended upon to follow
right at Its heels with help for the
stricken people. Red Cross relief Il
almost Immediately forthcoming-food,
clothing, shelter and funds; doctors,
nurses and special workers with long
experience In handling similar trouble
elsewhere.
During the last year, ending June 80,
there was an average of four disasters
a month In the United States. One
hundred and fifty communities in
twenty-seyen states suffered. The
largest and most destructive of these
were the tidal wave at Corpus Christi,
Texas, and tornadoes In Mississippi,
Louisiana, Alabama. Georgia, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois.
In these events of horror $50 per-
sons were killed, 1,500 were injured,
1900 were made homeless, about 3d.
900 families needed help, the property
loss was nearly $10o,000,000 and al
most 100000 in relief funds, not in.
cluding emergency supplies was ex-
pended.
To the sufferers from all disasters
during the year, the American Red
Cross sent $4,000 worth Of sup
plies, 11O Red Gross nurses and seven
special relief trains. To meet the
needs Of the stricken, the organization
set up ten relief stations, operated
thirty food canteens and as many
emergency hospitals. One hundred
and twenty-five Red Cross chapters
gave disaster relief service.
II disaster ever strikes this town or
county, the citizens can be absolutely
sure the Red Cross Will be right on
hand to help them In every way.

WHAT WE HAVE SEEN IN
SCIENCE.

The birthdays of time are reckon
ed in aeons; of nations by periods
or centuries; of men, by years; but
of achievement by generations. New
er has generation of 33 years seen
the accomplishment of more marvels
than has this in which we are liv-
ing. We women should realize that
we are privileged beyond the woman
of all time in being alive during this
stage of world advancement.
The automobile with it's speed and
efficiency has superseded the horse
for general transportation and has
revolutionized rural conditions.
Mighty. railroad engines and luxur-
ious passenger trains thread remote
sections and make us near neighbors
to great cities. Few women need be
backwoods women today.
In cities horse cars have been sup
planted by electric power or under
ground transportation. Airplanes
have mounted $4,000 feet and cross
ed the Atlantic. approximately 50,-

isolated sections of the world, the
next ten years will tell.
In health, the X-ray has united
with the determination of pests in
lengthening the span of life.
In another realm the telephone,
telegraph and wireless have connect
ed friend with neighbor, and remov-
ed the feeling of isolation. The talk
ing machine has brought the voices
Of great singers, the music of ia
nous bands and the lectures of fluent
speakers into our very homes. In
the motion picture are a thousand
possibilities for rural pleasure and
education. In our farm homes the
furnace is succeeding the fireplace; |;
the washing machine, the heavy pot
and tub; the bathtub and shower, the
old Saturday night washtub on the
kitchen floor; and electricity and
gasoline are finding their own for
pumping water into all parts of the
house, turning the churn and sewing
machine, lighting home and barns,
heating the iron and performing
dozen other services. - The Pro-

WAIT AND WATCH.

The men who are now marking
prices in cotton can put it at most
any low figure they wish. This is
true because there is no market
worth speaking Of.
We regard the position Of the
planter and the owner of cotton to-
day as being better than it was a
month ago.
We have already demonstrated
our ability to wait.
Again we say wait!
We do not advise holding cotton
for a long period or for a certain
figure, but we do say there is no use
in attempting to force a sale of
cotton when there is no demand.
If the acreage is reduced, as 1t
should be, in 1921, there will be a
demand and need for the present crop
of cotton.
The thing to make the demand is
to give the spinners to understand
that the production of cotton next
year will be reduced The reason
that we must give for reducing. the
real reason, is that cotton at pres
ent prices is below cost of prodIc-
tion, and that next year we will grow
only an amount that will equal the
demand, thereby securing for it a
price equivalent to the cost of o.ow-
ing it.
If the acreage next year is cut.
then the cotton now in stock is
certainly worth more than present
figures. If acreage next year is not
cut, then do we simply sdd 10 our
liabilities.
Fortunately, the southern people
are near the point where they can
be their masters in cotton acreage.
They can make living for them
selves and their families by sro wing
less cotton and more of other pro-
ducts, which rightly belong in south
ern felds.-Commer Appeal.
