There are newspaper correspon-

United State government can refrain
from repeating law which it cannot

managed through more than hun

in matters far more weightv than
this thing of keeping men from max

days are swiftly bringing us to q

show whether its authority is super

those who care only for what salts

II the republic cannot enforce its
own laws, it is surely doomed to ex-

But it can enforce its laws. and 1t

Magnolia Gazette.
Considering the length of time
which has elapsed since the in
surance agents presented their pe-
tition to the Governor tor special
session. it may be regarded as settled
that the chief executive is not going
to call the law makers to Jackson to
settle the insurance controversy.
Meanwhile the threatened disaster to
Mississippi business interests be-
cause of the withdrawal of the insur-
ance companies sued by the revenue
agent has not materialized.
Jaspef Co. News.
1t is surprisingly strange that men
will gamble. There are boys all over
this country who will become habitu-
al gamblers unless steps are taken to
stop it. Many OF them learned 1t in
the army and do not seem to think
that 1t is any harm. They will get
out any where and toss pennies. etc.
That is gam bling on e small scale
but IT will lead to gambling on i
larger scale. A boy who will sit a.
round on Sunday afternoons and
gamble is on the road to ruin and
degradition aud unless halt is call
ed his future is blighted. Every
honest law abiding man should use
his influence to stop IL.

The Progressive Farmer.
The difficulties which have been
encountered in the attempts to teach
agriculture to fifth and sixth grade
pupils are not due to any lack of the
teachability of agriculture; agricul-

commercial or any other kind of
facts, but the difficulties are IN our
city made textbooks and our ineffi-

Thus when the war came he was able to enter into the spirit of his nation as no other mon- arch could do.
 He finds his greatest delight in his books, while in his younger days he wrote a great deal, and many un- signed articles from his pen ap- peared in the leading Belgian news papers and reviews. Many of these articles he has since collected and some day they may be reprinted and given to the world. They em- brace such diverse subjects as mil itary strategy, commercial and fl- nancial developments and studies in modern civics and political economy.

Hot storage is opposed to cold storage for many things may be realized soon if the experiments of scientists connected with the Uni versity of West Virginia prove sat- isfactory. Great success has been attained in showing the practicabil- ity of hot storage for such articles as clothing, carpets, furs, cereals, dried fruit products and other ma terials unaffected by dry heat. Hot storage with uniform and constant temperature of 100 degrees Fahren- heit would prove more effective than cold storage in many cases.
