of revolution and a recognition of
women as a war power. While these
old barriers are swept aside in many

A BIG CONTRACT LET.
Arundel Corporation to Dig 116
Miles of Drainage Canals.

In a recent issue the Baltimore
Sun told of the awarding of the con-
tract by the state for the digging OF
about 116 miles of canals in the ever
glades drainage district. The Sun
gives the following particulars:
THE Arundel Corporation. of
which Frank A. Furst is president,
has received a contract to build more
than 100 miles of canals in the Ever
glades of Florida at a cost of be-
tween 100000 and $4,000,000,
Advices to this effect were received
yesterday from the South and later
confirmed by Mr.. Furst. Construct
ion will start at once and II is ex-
pected that the entire contract will
be completed in four years.
The Arundel Corporation obtain
ed the big dredging contract through
the Bowers Southern Dredging Com
pany, of Galveston, Texas. This con-
Germ received the contract over
year ago, but never completed it,
and under an arrangement whereby
the Baltimore company acquires part
of the properties of the Bowers
Southern Company, the former will
finish the dredging contracts.
THE Arundel Corporation already
has its men and machinery on the
ground and operations were begun a
lay or two ago.
There will be three canals with a
otal length of 116 miles all of which
will be included in 9 great waterways
system undertaken by the govern
nent. One canal beginning at Miami
will be 20 miles long; another start
ng az ST. Lucie, will extend for dis
ance of 90 miles, and the third, |
which will touch Fort Myers, will be
g miles long.
This is the most important drain
lge contract which Florida has let
or years, and tIeTo is wide interest |
n this city in the work about tobe |
Undertaken because of the fact that !
Baltimore comp y will complete
he job
For the second time in recent |
ears Frank A. Fu.st has became
Identified with an important drain
ge contract in tire Everglades of

PEELED to ask Mr.. Baily to hold up the
black ribbon which streamed across
the face of the official paper signed
by Governor Sidney ]. Cats. the
sherint's voice plainly denoted the
distaste this unpleasant duty held for
him.
When the reading was finished
Written said:
Say, sheriff, how long does that
give me?"
Sheriff Dishong replied: That al
lows you eighteen days to live, and
hope you will make the best use Of 1t
you know how. Think over what
you have done and prepare yourself
as best you can. If can do anything
to make you comfortable during the
short time you have, let me know

Written replied: Il want some
chewing tobacco and cigarettes"
He was given a package Of Gig
arettes and some matches by Deputy
Albritton, who warned him at the
same time to be careful not to set
anything on fire and jeopardize the
lives of himself and the rest of the
prisoners.
Written is evidently man of low
mentality, or else his sensiblities
have become so scared by the life he
has lead that he is incapable of emo
ton. Lack of shave, giving him a
small mustache and a scraggly beard,
did not make his pasty countenance
more prepossessing. Altogether, his
is not a pleasing personality, though
his appearance would elicit sympathy
from anyone who knew of his cir
The prisoner still has some slight
grounds for hope of a reprieve, it is
said, as relatives are at work to have
his death sentence committed to one
of life Imprisonment.
At the time that Written was
brought to jail, in May last, charged
with killing his wife, he is reported
to have said, as he stood in front of
the court house: Il don't care a
damn what they do with me, now
that ! have fixed my wife so she will
not run around with other men.
The chances are, however, that
Sheriff Dishong will have a most
duty to perform, and that
there will be tragic news to record
rom the DeSoto county Jail on the
last Friday in This month.

The following excerpts are from

work in China:
81 missed you all Christmas times,
but still l was glad that l could be
here. l have been strong enough to
do all my work so far. My health is
good, and | am so much stronger
than many of the girls. The Lord has
provided for all of my needs, and l
know He will right on. There are
girls here whose fathers are not will
ing for them to do mission work.
The Lord gives daughters different
kinds of fathers, and fathers differ
ent kinds of daughters. If you had
opposed my coming, or had not help
ed me, | could not have come. l am
glad l did not have to-try alone.
Leaving out homesickness, | have
had a good time, we have so many
opportunities to help people. l carried
baskets and paid short visits to four
very poor homes on Christmas Eve.
The baskets were sent to our Settle
ment House, from lots of missionary
societies, churches and individuals,
for distribution. Then | have been
out every day or two for three weeks
or more telling stories to clubs and
classes and old ladies homes, and to
the Masonic Orphanage and other
places. If you can make other people
happy, you have to be happy your
self. am going tomorrow to boys
club to tell them stories.
went to the Masonic Orphanage
this afternoon. There are over three
hundred children there, they have an
enormous and we'll equipped building,
and the children are healthy and
seemingly happy. There was one lit
tie tot with the LOWEST golden curls.
With all the comforts, they are just
hungry for some one to love them,
and l hope 1 shall never forget how
that sweet baby loved me. Some OF
the South Carolina EndeavorS wrote
to the Kentucky Endeavors that l
was here and, some of the Louisville
girls called on me and invited me to
their churches, etc.
We have had a mild winter, they
saw. we have had sleet and snow, or
both on the ground over half the
time for four weeks, but some days
are real balmy and homelike.

When Mrs. Housewife
Buys the Sunday
Dinner

In the days when prices were lower
than they are now, Mrs. Housewife
went over to the corner grocery on
Saturday afternoon and bought what
ever she could find that would make
q nice Sunday dinner.
She bought promiscuously-a little
of this, little of that. Before she went
to the store she, perhaps, had little idea
of just what food was going to be
served at that Sunday dinner-the
meal that is the biggest one of the
week in most families.
But today Mrs. Housewife buys diff
ferently. Higher prices and the ad-
vancement of the culinary art to a
science has caused this change In her
method of buying.
She does her buying as systematical-
ly as she does her cooking. She knows
pretty well in advance just what Is 60
ing to grace the table for that Sunday
dinner She plans it well and she
kpows just the exact amount of vege-
tables, -four, eggs and the many,
many other necessary things, needed
to make that dinner a success-and she
takes just as much pride in making
that dinner a success as her husband
does in making his business success.
After the dinner has been planned
she starts her buying systematic
buying. She knows that the wide
awake grocers and butchers adver-
tise so she looks to their stores as the
place where she can find the best quail
ity at the best price. She knows, too.
that
