THE OLD MARKET BASKET

"The surest way back to old fash
Toned price levels is to shop with the
old fashioned market basket"-E. A.
Cudahy, president of the Cudahy
Packing Company.
How clear to my mind are the prices
once ruling
When | was boy and could eat
all my fill,
When, famished came from my
much hated schooling
And sat down to dinner with Harry
and Bill
A greet plate of meat-duck or turkey
in season.
Corn. turnips. asparagus, peaches
galore,
With three or four pies-there was
no earthly reason
10 stop except stomachs that
wouldn't hold more
All came from the basket, the brown
wicker basket,
The old market basket that father
once bore.
Eggs then cost a trihe-each fresh as
&. daisy,
No hated cold storage was known,
by the way,
And every one than would have
thought you were crazy
To ask for nut butter" as folks
do today
Twelve cents for pound of good
pork or of scrapple.
A little bit higher for chops at the
store,
Twas kept in the village by Marvin
and Chapel.
And no one delivered things then
at the door
They came in the basket, the brown
wicker basket,
The old market basket that father
once bore.
Hw often in the present when wor-
ried and harried
think with a sigh of those days
of delight,
And picture the basket that father
then carried
And brought home filled up to the
brim every night.
How fresh were its contents, as fra,
grant as honey,
The prices. all told, made a laugh
able score.
How eagerly, gladly I'd PUNK down
my money
For three times their cost at that
time even four
If fresh from the basket, the brown
wicker basket,
The old market basket that father
once bore.

. THREE WOMEN
: AND MORE :
Tula c. Daniel.

During the war between the States,
in certain town in Breckenridge
county,lived sick woman, Some sold
iers belonging to the army which this
woman did not endorse passing near
her gate, asked permission to draw
some water from her well She refused
them. Being gentlemen they rod on
in their thirst
Another women in this county,
where soldiers, were stationed by
Government order, gave fresh butter
milk daily to the ones who called for
it, though she was not on their side
of the question.
Which of the Two Was a Neighbor9
Let me tell you of another woman
a modern "neighbor", Madame lose
phine of Europe heard of the deplor-
able condition of Armenian women
and children, and, hide herself
to trebizond, where hidden in caves
IN the forrest there were multitudes.
The Turks were very vigilant and il
required all her tact and ingenuity to
avoid being caught by them. Dressed
as peasant she made frequent trips
to the Missionaries for money to buy
daily rations of corn meal which she
had peasants bake and carry to them
in small quantities. Clothing was also
Struggled to them. One bundle con-
tanned tiny garments for a new born
babyl (Mother! Mother! does not
this remind you of the Babe, of Beth
lehem, of Him who said unto the
least of these, unto Me?") Madame
Josephine kept them alive until the
Allies captured Frebizond, and these
refugees were able to emerge from
their hiding places.
How good was the sunlight and air
which God gave them and the change
OF diet to that young mother from
corn pone to something more appetiz-
ing. Think of her when you next seat
yourself at your bountiful table.
Someone said how long must I
give? The answer was until God
stops giving to you"
Women, let us wake up our graft
tude and generosity. Surely they are
not dead-only sleeping. Give till it
hurts You can reach the place where
giving becomes your greatest joy Try
IT and seel
A subscriber of the News in Miss
issippi sent a nice check to our
county treasurer Mr. B. F. Beard,

trict you see fit. Usurped or dele
gated we don't claim to know. But
if same is true and you do not give
to the Webster district an equal por-
ton with any other district. we will

Out Inspecting Roads.
The crushed stone in the Irvington
and Webster road you speak of, will
say that | was over that road last
week and inspected it and found some
crushed stone in center of road ditch
ed on each side. Good little piece of
road, but | think our jitney jumped it
Went from there to the road that |
think had about four-hfths of the
money that has been spent on roads
in the Fourth District and inspected
that road too. In going out found
the roads rounded up in the center,
ditched on both sides, banks plowed
and scraped down to FIVE to six feet
high the full length of the road all
low places graded up and rocked.
Coming back l took notice that it
had rained for several days and the
road was dry and crusty, not a
wagon track or buggy track, one lone
"Fliver" track that made going out
seemed to be the only vehicle that
had passed over that road since the
rain. This road is in the Fourth too.
Now come back to Webster and |
will show you some roads that stand
the haul of from one to two car
loads daily, four to eight teams run
ming continuously, and have been for
several years will continue indefinite
ly. When it rains whole bunch has
to stop. Reason: some mud holes in
the road.
In conclusion will say that | am

the road tax, and want to see the
roads improve under the taxation

HATS IN THE RING.

A motar-board is there. perhaps;
A cooked hat too we see.
And there are also soldiers caps
Among the company
A ounces cap, we may be sure,
Is thrown into the ring.
And many straw hats premature
Have also had their fling
Obscure sombreres there repose
With bowlers quite unknown,
And silken ties fame never chose
Among the rest are shown.
And over all, to top the pile
And others to command,
A beaver of an olden style
With stars upon the band

CHEWING GUM"

Just stop and think how much
chewing gum is used day in the
United States. Can you see that
chewing gum does any good? Some
will say that it will keep your teeth
clean, however, / think they are mis-
taken. We have tooth brushes and
paste especially for keeping the teeth
clean if you will only use it. l have
never seen anyone with their teeth
cleaned by chewing gum alone.

CHINESE ALPHABET RE-
DUCED TO 80 CHARACTERS.

Shanghai, China Chinese of future
generations will write in phonetic
script and use a typewriter with only
thirty-nine characters, instead of ply
ing brush to draw 10000 or more
hieroglyphics, if mission workers sue
coed in an effort they are making to
revolutionize handwriting in use in
China for more than 1000 years.
The work of the missionaries is at
last beginning to receive official sane
ton, and they entertain hopes that
eventually the Chinese brush, ink
block and ink tablet will have to go
TO give place to more modern me-
thods of communicating ideas.
Their purpose is not only to sim
pity China's handwriting system, but
to give the country common tongue
to replace the present-day babel
which renders even the native who is
away from his own home district al
most as helpless as foreigner.
