favor of it and never considered
it worth while to be against it.
Did you ever stop to think that a
ten year old lad with one rabbit
dog and one half dozen matches
is capable of burning over ten
thousand acres of land with little
or no effort and less thought?
Then when you think of hundreds
of fine boys, white aud black, all
loaded with the deadly matches,
and followed by the willing dog
tramping through the dry dead
grass nearly every day from the
first frost in the Fall until the
green grass in the Spring, in quest
of sport and fun you will not won
der that the woods just will and
must burn. This is not confined
to the country boys; proportion
ately, more of them come out of
the towns and cities.
You don't blame the fellow, the
woods is a fine place to go and a
boy that does not love good dog
and a fine chase is not normal,

Boys and men who have been

burn. 1t is, therefore, reasonable
to think that they would not toler'
ate anything which would tend te
drive out Of existence the thing
which is the source of their fun
On the contrary the hunters anC
sportsmen, the source of so many
wild fires now, will, when taugh

this thing. When you come to
sound out your neighbors, one by
one, on the subject, | dare say
you will be more astonished than
ever to learn that with few excep-
tions, they will be of the same
mind as yourself and will fall
quickly into line. You, also will
begin to find out, if you should
not already know, whore the trou-
BILE is coming from.
Suppose each community in
Washington Parish should volun-
tarily form such an organization
and hold enough meetings to
reach an understanding as to how
is the best way to protect them
selves and the woods in their
range from these burnings. A
mutual understanding is about all
that it would take. 1t is not the
purpose of this article to diccuss
the details as to fire lanes and
! control burnings, and the laws
and the rights of the individual
land owners, that phase of the
question constitutes good sub"

Twentieth Century Club

One of the most enjoyable
events of the season in club
circles was the meeting Of the
Twentieth Century Club held, on
Tuesday afternoon, with Mrs.
Frank Herndon. 1t was the
regular Hme for Current
Event program and the subject
was Women.
During the business session,
the committee, composed of Mrs.
Porter Davis, Misses Frances
Abbott and Annie Miller, which
had formerly been appointed to
find out if there were any homes
in Okolona which Santa Claus
might not find were given
authority to select gifts and
send to these children. 1t was
also voted that every club mem-
ber buy one hundred Christmas
se9ls to help in the fight against
tuberculosis.
The program was unusually
interesting, every paper having
been well written and attractive
'ly read. Mrs. Howard Muir
phree, in discussing The IN
,dustrial Efficiency Of Women,
paida much deserved tribute to
Miss EIbur Creighton, teacher of
English in Okolona High School,
who is recognized as one of
Mississippi's most intellectual
women. Miss Lucille Neubert
gave some interesting sketches
of THE Business Women Of the
United States. The Position
of Women in Public Since the
War" was the subject Of a splen-
did paper given by Mrs. Fred

McGehee. She stressed the fact
that women may be-interested,
even active, in public life and
still be happy, loving mothers.
She cited Madame Currie as an
example. Mrs. E. H. Latimer
very cleverly discussed THE
Self Assertion of Women, =
showing this characteristic to be
present, and justly so, from the
cradle throughout life.
