"One woman said: My daughter has
learned that she must get her hens
set early in order to get eggs in the
fall Another woman said: We had
one Of the club chickens for Thanks
giving dinner and it was as large as
turkey Still another said: We
enjoy the canned meat SO much; it
is such a help in getting meals when
we are busy and do not have time
for much cookingr
Miss Annie Mae Williamson. as
sistant agent in Tangipahoa, writes
as follows: "The mother Of a club
girl told me that she thought the club
work was one Of the best things
ever started, that she had never been
able to get her daughter to do any
sewing or cooking until she Joined
the club about month ago, and now
she tried to do everything. She was
embroidering, crocheting, and helping
her mother with her work, and all
she could hear was about club work."

aid Of sounds, such as are utilized b.
the child in the pronunciation Of
words. Children who read silently arr
faster readers than those who read
orally, or who read orally without
sound but whose reading is accom-.
panied by lip movement. There is a
high correlation between the rate in
which one reads and their ability to
comprehend the material read. By
this we mean that in a large per-
centage Of the number of cases, one
who reads most rapidly understands
with greater facility the material
read.
Tests in silent reading are designed
to test, both for rate and comprenen-
sion, or the ability to gather the
thought from the printed page. The
standards as given in the silent read
ing tests are the scores which the
pupils should make at the end of the
year. The results are the actual scores
Of the grades tested in the different
schools. By rate is meant the rapidity
with which child reads and by COM
prehension is meant the ability of
the child to understand the material
read.

BIG MUSICAL SHOW COMING.

The biggest musical attraction thai

York. Theatre goers in this section
Will have an opportunity to see this
attraction, the Marcus Show Of 1920,
during its engagement in vicksburc
at the Walnut Street Theatre, January
21st.
There are nearly one hundred per-
sons engaged. Many of these are the
famous Marcus Peaches. There is a
special orchestra and it requires 8
special train of three baggage cars
an an equal number of Pullmans to
transport the big organization.
Not in years has an attraction made
an unqualified hit on the Coast as
that enjoyed by the Marcus Show.
But few cities are being visited be-
tween the Coast and New York where
TIE Marcus Show inaugurates its
metropolitan engagement early next
month.
In commenting on the attraction
the San Francisco Examiner of Sen
TENDER II, had the following to say:
"A musical Revenue with a sort

"Girls, gorgeous costumes and

give an audience impression that the
show might engage the attention of

be among US, there was nothing to
seriously warrant objection.

Not many years ago. and let US
whisper il. even today in some benight-
ed localities. it was the pleasing Gus
tom to consider any visiting motorist
fair game. The first traffic cop who
spied a license plate from another
state marked the driver Of the car
bearing ii as his own and promptly
handed him summons. no matter
row exemplary his conduct might
chance to be. 1t is pleasant to note
thlt this old idea is passing. One city,
at any rate, has pushed the pendulum
over to the other side SO far as to ar
range a positive welcome for strangers
il rslctor cars within its gates This
Is Minneapolis, which has established
a welcome Committee. Whenever
Minneapolis policeman sees a strange
license plate. he stops the owner and
hands him--a summons, but from the
Welcome Committee, where. he will
feceiye a courteous welcome and any
Information that will help make pleas
