Will Plant Good
Acreage Feedstuffs

The planters and farmers Of Le-
flore county, according to the best in
formation we can get, are planning
to plant largely increased acreage
to foodstuffs this year and the indi-
cations are that an abundance OF
corn, hay, potatoes, ETC., will be pro-
duced to supply their needs next year.
Plenty of home-raised corn means
also a good "meat crop" as one IS
absolutely essential to the other.
There is no reason why our far
mers should not make enough meat
and bread each year for home con-
sumption, and thereby making cot
ton their surplus crop--enabllng
them to hold the fleecy staple for a
fair and profitable price.
In fact, this is the only solution
for putting them back on their feet
again.

Death Due To Pleurisy
And A Complication
Of Diseases
HE WAS SEVENTY
ONE YEARS OLD
Had Served Twenty Six
Years In House Of
Representatives.
Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Mar Champ
Clark died here today in his list.
year within two days of his retire
ment from the House Of Representa-
tiyes, after service of twenty six
years, His death was due to pleurisy
and a complication of diseases Incl
dent to an advanced age. His death
occurred shortly after o'clock.
In the Democratic national con-
vention at Baltimore in 1919, Champ
Clark led on twenty-seven ballots for
the nomination as candidate for pres
ident and had a clear majority on
nine ballots, prior TO the final naming
Of Woodrow Wilson. The two-thirds
rule Of the convention alone preven-
ted Mr. Clark's nomination. The ho-
nor which his party thus paid him
was the most notable of his public
life. In American political history
Martin Van Buren was the only other
man who failed of the Democratic no
mnation for the presidency after
having received a majority of the
votes in the national convention, but
he enjoyed the unique distinction of
being elected subsequently,
Although Champ Clark was known
as a Missourian he was born in An
derson, KY, on March 7, 1859. He
was christened James Beauchamp
Clark, but early in life he reduced
this to Champ Clark. His first work
was as farm hand clerk in gen.
eral store, and on country news
paper.
Mr.. Clarl2s sincerity, friendship
for opponents and adherents alike,
his fairness as a presiding officer
and his knowledge of history, his love
Of clean anecdotes and humorous sto-
ries, and his marvelously retentiye
memory ranked with his attributes
of leadership. He welded the minori-
ty into a virtual Democratic unit
when he was minority leader, and af-
ter the ousting Of Cannon, which rob
bed the speakership of many Of its
bowers he divided with majority lead
er Underwood the control Of the De-
mocrats in the House and they form

TALK Is MADE
TO THE MOTHERS
DIR. Alexander Johnson Makes Splen-
did Address On Public Health
Work.

A straightforward talk on social
welfare, was given to the mothers,
members of the Parent Teacher or
ganizations, who met yesterday aft
ernoon at the High School Building to
hear DIR. Alexander Johnson of New
York. DR.. johnson was introduced
by Miss Marion Monroe of Jackson,
state representative of the Red Cross,
who spoke briefly on school diseases,
telling how the greater number of
them might be prevented.
what once was termed philanth-
ropy is now known as social welfare
work." said DR.. johnson. The key
note of this address was the place
the Red Cross Public Health program
has in the schools. DIR. johnson gave
the mothers a glimpse of the work
that is being done by the Red Cross
throughout America, in the schools
Of the country. He told how parents
could aid this great cause and en-
lightened the mothers on subjects re-
garding the welfare of their children.
He urged greater cooperation Of the
PARENT Teacher organizations in the
carrying out of the health program,
emphasizing its necessity.
"When war was declared, and the
young manhood of the country were
called to the colors, $4,000 were
found to be defective and the great
er PERCENTAGE were afflicted with pre-
yentative Diseases" said DR.. john
son. Seventy five per cent of the
whole number examined were defec-
tive. The object of our program is
to correct these defects in childhood"
DR.. Johnson explained the weight
charts which the Public Health nur-
ses have installed in the schools tell
ing how they were used to the great
benefit of the children.
"If a great enemy should land their
| forces on one of our coasts, the whole
nation would be up in arms" said Dr.
johnson, "and all our forces would
be marshalled to cope with the enc
my. But a great enemy is with us
constantly and we must all be or
guard and fight it. Two hundred anc
sixty thousand die yearly with tu'
berculosis and every precaution musi
be taken against this great menace,
DR.. johnson stated that Mississippi
had made larger appropriation to
fight this disease than any Other
state had ever made.

colonies for the feeble minded, which

lie health crusades which are being

the feeble minded were children from

HOW TO SECURE
GOOD TEACHERS
Mrs. Dorsey, Los Angeles, Says Bet.
ter Ones Should Be Guided
Into Profession.

ATLANTIC CITY, N, j.. Mar. g
The first immediate way Of getting
better teaching throughout the coun-
try is to guide into the profession
those of good intelligence and good
character that the teachers are in
structing, Mrs. Susan NJ. Dorsey, of
Los Angeles told the Department
of Superintendence of the National
Educational Association here today.
"While we are guiding into other
vocations, what is to prevent us from
pointing the way into our own?"
Mrs. Dorsey asked. "By seeing with
clear vision its regeneration des-
TIMES, the road that leads to supreme
service; by inviting the best Of those
whom we teach to enter vocation
second to none in opportunity, we
shall have better teaching"
Public school teaching can be
greatly improved by a more intelii-
gent grouping of children according
to their intellectual capabilities and
their general conduct so that instruc-
tion may be adapted to their vary
ing degrees of intelligence, and es-
pecially to the peculiar needs of the
large group Of averaged children,
Mrs, Dorsey said.
"There are those in the class doom
ed to failure and this paralyzes the
teacher effort" she continued "Of
late, emphasis has been placed, and
rightly upon the necessity Of segre-
eating the educationally unfit, for
the sake Of the children. What ! wish
to urge is the necessity Of such Sc
gregation in the interests of good
teaching.
"By referring to age-grade tables,
it is found that about one-thirrd Of
the children in the public schools are
one year or more behind grade. When
we eliminate the two or three per cent
that are actually feeble-minded, there
still remain the thirty per cent who
could very we'll get back to grade
if they could be given attention ac-
cordine to their needs.
"An experiment in the interests OF
4 the thirty per cent has recently come
under my observation. Each child
has portfolio containing series
of lesson exercises and questions in
creasing in difficulty but expressed
in plain, understandable languagej
each lesson in the series forming q
distinct unit which may require a
longer or shorter time for mastery
AS soon as one unit is mastered, the
child passes on to the next When
difficulty is met, the teachers hell
is asked, it being understood that
the help given shal be such that the
child will really solve the difficulty
himself. This experiment undertake
en- in the interest of misfits and over.
age children has resulted SO helpfully
that in many instances beIated chill
dren have covered two and three
grades in a half-year and been en-
tered into their regular grade, quite
able to move on with the successful
pupils Of their own age.

MANY SHOPPERS
TOTE IT" HOME
Great Crowds Visit Greenwood's
New Grocery Which Opened To-
day On Market Street.

Perhaps you noticed scores of peo-
pie walking through the streets of
Greenwood today carrying a new
market basket filled with groceries;
some of them carried two baskets
and one thing you noticed partieu-
larly on the top of each basket was
five pound box of sugar. Both
men and women were seen vending
their way home with baskets and it
took you back to the good old days
when practically all housekeepers
did their own marketing each morn
ing, carrying home their purchases,
stopping chatting with their neigh
bors and telling the bargains they
had secured by going in person and
selecting their commodities.
These people had attended the OPP
ening of the "Cash and Tote IT,
Grocery and with every five dollar
purchase were given free a five
pound box of granulated sugar.
This new store held its opening
this morning and the fact that the
people of Greenwood have long been
wanting a store of this sort, was
evidenced by the crowds which avail
ed themselves of its bargains and
visited the grocery during the day.
Perhaps you have no automobile
and were little bit reluctant about
walking down the street with mar
ket basket on your arm. Had you
visited this store today, you would
not have felt lonesome for everywhere
in the business section, people were
seen "toting" their wares down the
street and the look Of satisfaction
which was manifested on their coun-
tenanees showed they were pleased
with the bargains they had secured.
The new store is operated by the
Stein Grocery Co., and is in charge OF
Mr.. Marks Stein and J. E. FAINT OF
Memphis, who has had wide expert
ence in a store of this kind.
The building has been redecorated
and presents a clean and sanitary ap-
pearance.
One Of the most attractive features
Of the new grocery is the "self ser
vice" system which has been install
ed. You enter revolving gate ant
are greeted with pile of market
baskets. You have the privilege o.
selecting your basket and walking
about the store, leisurely taking YOU
time and selecting what you want
There is no one to hurry you, no ON
to ask you questions. You select wha
you want without assistance as ev
erything is marked in plain figures
After making your purchases yo'
carry your basket to the cashier
desk and pay cash for same and de
part through another revolving gate
There is no confusion, no delay an
everything progresses smoothly.
But the greatest satisfaction
comes through the saving of money
By performing "self services" yo
get the benefit Of great reductio
