Child Feeding Program.

q. s. Department Of Agriculture reader.]
Twenty-Five counties in the State OF
Washington will concentrate this fall
on special nutrition work for under
weight children and their parents,
under the supervision of home demon
stration agents. Demonstrations of the
best methods of bringing underweight
children up to normal weight will be
given and will be closely correlated
with hot school lunch and supplement
tary nutrition demonstrations.
The interest in child feeding has been
due largely to the statistics that have
been accumulated during the last few
years. indicating that large number
of American children Of school and pre-
school age are underweight for their
height. This condition apparently
bears no relation to the prosperity Of
the community or to the financial or
social status of the family. Irregular
habits, late and hurried breakfasts. cold,
unpalatable, and poorly selected
lunches, delayed chores, late hours,
lack Of sufficient daytime rest, and the
common use Of tea and coffee are con-
tributing causes to this very prevalent
condition of malnutrition.
The plan in the state of Washington
is to organizenutrition groups in indi-
vidual communities until sufficient
number Of nutrition workers and pro-
| ject leaders are trained for county and
| era fo-wi7n work The cOODeratiOn OF
| the county nurse is secured to weigh
and measure all the children selected
| for such demonstrations The children
are examined by the nurse for defects.
Then the parents Of the children chosen
are asked to sign agreements as home
demonstrators to carry on the instruc.
ton given in the home.
Eight weeks are devoted TO intensive
work. Parents and childrens meet
with the project leader each week, then
for three months the progress Of each
child is carefully followed through
monthly consultations with the parents
including weighing and measuring. A
daily rest period, the use Of at Least
three pints Of milk daily, elimination Of
tea and coffee, and the adherence to
diet recommended by the home demon
stration agent, are the main elements
in the systematic procedure for bring
ing underweight children up to normal

He thought that few words in Billie

The Old Songs.

Where is the individual who will not
say that the old songs-those songs
chanted by our mothers-are not the
most inspiring? How often do we wish
for return of decades and hear again
the old familiar tunes, now apparently
discarded altogether. What grand and
glorious melodies they were, those old
songs. written by authors now long
since returned to dust. In the
churches of to-day we fail to elicit the
faintest idea Of the oldtime religion as
written and sung "some twenty years
ago. What would the sainted mothers
and fathers say, were 1t possible for
their return, to hear the modern
church songs as at present rendered?
Evangelist-many Of them-accom-
panied by special songsters, who throw
a decided bit of (excuse the express
sion) rag" into the music that is
supposed to assist in leading some
FELLOW out Of the road Of sin into a
brighter life.
Give us Rock of Ages once more !:
let us hear occasionally Nearer, My
God, to Thee" for the benefit Of the
older regime, let that ever-blessed old
song, Jesus, Lover of My Soul" be
sung as 1t was fifty years ago. These
inspired old anthems touch a sympa-
thetic chord in the hearts of men and
women. Their rendition at any service
will make men and women feel better
for having attended. They surpass in
all grandeur Of though any Of the
modern songs as now rendered In our
churches
And vet the moderns will perhaps
say that the church using these old
hymns is out Of date and behind the
times. Not bit OF it. Those old
songs will live as long as this world
survives. Every time one of them is
heard, some heart is touched, some life
perhaps turned into the right road.
|. Those old songs-never to be for
gotten-contain words of wisdom ex-
ceiling at times the message from the
pulpit.
Give us the old songs every now and
then. The world will grow better If
they are revived-Erchdnge.

Cotton Conditions Good.

q. s. Department Of Agriculture reader.l
Economic conditions in Europe, out
side of Russia, are gradually improv-
ing. according to william r. Meadows
and William L. Pryor, of the Bureau Of
Markets and Crop Estimates. United
States Department of Agriculture, re-
Gently returned from four months
trip through Europe and Egypt study
ing general market conditions for cot
ton. especially as bearing on the pros
pective demand for the American pro-
duct. The departments representa-
tives report that the consumption of
American cotton may be expected to
show considerable increase, perhaps
10 to ID per cent over that Of last year.
Visits Were made to England, France,
Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, Nor
way, Sweden, Denmark, Germany,
Poland, the free city Of Danzig, Czech
oslOvakia, Austria, Italy and Egypt. In
addition, Mr.. Meadows also visited
Palestine. At all the cotton marketing
and manufacturing centers conferences
We're held with Government officials,
cotton men. bankers and others, and
much valuable information concerning
conditions affecting American cotton
was secured The recent advance in
the price Of cotton, they say, has great
~ relieved the cotton merchants, spin
ners and bankers of Europe as well as
similar lines Of industry in this coun-
try. According to the best information
obtainable, the cotton manufacturing
world begins the new season with a
clean slate, there being no large stocks
OF cotton or cotton goods held by manu-
facturers in any European country. In
the judgement Of the departments rep
resentatiyes. Europe must of necessity
follow ''hand.to-mouth" policy in pur-
chasing its supplies OF raw cotton, and
American holders should adopt a grad
ual marketing policy to conform to
EurOpe's requirements

History-While 1t is News.

The Mansfield Enterprise.l
Your youngsters are learning con-
siderable about history in school. It's
right that they should. History is a
valuable study because by learning
what people have done You can fore
cast to certain extent what they are
going to do and understand what they
are doing now.
But do your youngsters know what
is going on in the world now? Prob
ably not much unless You are a remark
able parent or they are remarkable
youngsters or their teacher is remark
able person.
History has always been taught with
both eyes strictly in the past and is
why most teachers to-day refuse to
leave the beaten path and make the
pupils study the newspapers as well
as the text books. Possibly some OF
the teachers do not read the news
papers very thoroughly themselves.
But let's consider what you can find
in the newspapers of to-day. 1t will
tell you of America during the recon
struction following the worlds great

empire is making to carry on witt
Ireland striving to be free, with India
restless and angry, trying to breal
away, and with English labor from

CORRESPONDENCE
Phillips Hill.

Dated: Tuesday, November LIST.
Mr.. D. w. Johnston and family spent
last Saturday night In Plain Dealing
with their daughter, Miss Hazel, who
is attending school there and is stop
ping In the home of Hon. and Mrs.
w. j. Johnston.
Mr.. Pleas Johnston and family are
at Charlie Burks to-day. They are
making syrup at the Burks' Mill.
Mr.. D. w. Johnston Is hauling logs nj
the Johnson Saw Mill, on the Bayou
above Stroud's Bridge.
A very nice shower Of rain fell last
week and put out about all the fire
that had been raging in the woods
around here and did lots Of good It
makes every one feel better.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. L. Northcott contem-
plate moving this week to Plain Deal
ing where there daughter Is attending
high school. Mr.. Northcott will con-
tinue to log for the Alden Bridge mill
and will go back and forth on the train.
Mr.. Henry Collie and family are
going up on the lakes above Plain Deal
ing to spend a few weeks with Mr..
Coles brother, Mr.. Bud Collie.
1t Is claimed there never has been
such demand for syrup buckets as
there has been this year. Nearly all
the negro farmers and renters planted
a patch Of sorghum and it proved big
yield, SO they bought buckets then the
ribbon cane is a much larger yield
than heretofore, hence the demand for
buckets.
Some men "cuss'' because they have
to dip their cattle. Some "cuss" be.
cause they can't dip. Now they have a
chance to do a real kindness, not only
to the stock but crops and human
beings as well, by getting together and
burning out the tick and snake thick
cts. Ticks and snakes have not been
us had in years as they have been this
year. Why don't the men get busy?
Here is an old colored woman's re
ceipe for ticks and lice She says she
feeds her cattle all the salt and sulphur
they will eat during the month OF
March for ticks then in September she
feeds salt and sulphur and that keeps
the lice off during the winter. This is
a good and not expensive way to gel
rid Of ticks and lice.
Mr.. T. G. Burks Is still very sick
man at times. He seems to be better
and has been clear of fever for four OF
FIVE days but, is still bothered with a
sick stomach. They will move him
to-day to Cotton Valley. DR.. Hall adj
vised that the change would be bene
fetal to him.
Sam Morrison was at Mr.. Northcott's
Sunday. He said, in recent letter
from his wife now at Ell Paso, Texas
she said that the doctors and patients
were all suffering with colds In theil
heads. Otherwise, she was doing fine
Sam spent the night at Willie Burks
then went on to his farm and back tc
Hughes Spur, where he has had EN-
ployment for some time in the gin al
that place. -FREcKLEs.

Two BiIlies
A Story for Little Ones

rNn HEN boy goat gets big he is
1GI called Billie Goat, some
AsEAEI times they have other names
EsIa41 too, but not often; and I'M
less you know them real well
it is best to always call them Billie
Goat.
A Billie Goat always has long horns,
and he can use them pretty well, sure
enough.
When boy is named William, most
always he is called Billie-and some
times just Bill, especially when he is
a big boy-almost man. Bill Is a
pretty good name for big boy. Don't
You think so?
Well, there was boy and his name
was William. so he was called Billie.
He lived in the country on his fathers
farm. There We're lot Of tame ami
mails also there, among which was
goat which everybody called Billie
Goat. Billie Goat was a smart fellow.
He could climb up on the barn, even,
and none of the fences could hold him
in. So he went wherever he liked.
He spent lot of his time away off in
the back pasture on a big fat rock.
1t would seem that he had good many
on the rock and seemed to be thinking
about many things; but he always went
home in the evening to be in the COM
pany Of the other goats.
Billie Boy was going to school Of
course. and he had quite hard time
to remember what some of the words
meant which he would find In his study
books, so he asked his mother to buy
him dictionary, and she did, so he
formed the habit of looking in it to
see what any word meant if he did not
know already. That was pretty good
habit, don't you think SO?
One Saturday he had some very hard
lessons to learn for school Monday
and SO he took his books and went out
to the pasture to study. and stopped
| near the rock where Billie Goat spent
SO much of his time, but he did moi
notice Billie Goat when he come and
mounted the rock, but Mr.. Goat saw
him and wondered what he was doing
Billie Boy began reading his lessons
and when he would come to a word
he did not know he would look in his
dictionary and find it, then he would
say this sure is a good book" He
said this so many times that it made
| Billie Goats mouth water for anything
| GOOD, meant good to eat to him.
| The day went fast, and Billie Boy
got tired after he had finished hi.
studies, and so when he started home
he forgot his dictionary and left it lay
ing on the ground and went home with
out it.
AS soon as Billie Goat saw Billie Bo,
go over the hill, he decided to see wha
the book was like that made it so good
and SO he got it and brought it to tn,
fiat rock, and now what do you suppos,
he did? Well, he began to eat it. Goat
