Cooperative Health Work in
Mississippi.

The cooperation between white
and colored women begun IN Mlssls-
sippi by the. white federated clubs,
and expanded during tie war by the
women's state council of defense, con-
tinues along peace lines.
The state chairman of the women $
council was fortunate in discovering
and training colored woman who
became state chairman of the women
of her race. Her work was so re-
markable that white audiences were
gathered to hear her tell of it. Since
the war the white and the colored
woman continue their cooperative
work under the state anti-tubercu-
losis committee, of which the white
woman is a member.
"She really is splendid" the white
woman says of the colored one. II
have asked our women at Columbus
to have her come in to some of. their
club meetings and tell of her work
and it's needs. 1t is great opportu-
nifty for them to be very potent
factor for good. .---.-- She received an
ovation when she spoke before a
white audience in Meridian during
the war. -
The terrible toll of tuberculosis
among negroes emphasizes the value
to the entire state of cooperation for
better health, whether given, as in
Mississippi, by safe commission, or,
as in Virginia and North Carolina, by
state boards whose policies are an in

Live Stock Sanitation.

DR.. W. H. Dalrymple of the Louis
lana State University says ticks
should receive big shock in the state
this year. Limiting the movement
Of cattle is one of the greatest aids
to tick eradication. How can this
best be accomplished? Why, by
fences, naturally. If we had more
fences in the state from the begin
ming of the eradication we should
have been tickzfree long ago.

The legislature ofe the state Of
Nevada has adopted bill providing
that all executions Of condemned
prisoners in that state shall be by
lethal gas. The idea originated as a
result of the use of gas in the world
war, which proved that oderless and
tasteless gases can be manufactured
which will produce death instantly
and without pain. Under the Nevada
law the condemned is not to know
when he is to die. He is to be placed
in cell and the gas administered
while he is asleep.

Order Ford Car For Future Delivery.

Elsewhere in this issue of The
Chief will be found the ad of the
Donaldsonville Garage, local agents
for Ford cars and Fordson tractors,
in which the information is conveyed
that there are no cars in stock and
no chance Of securing normal supply
within three months, and the advice
is given to prospective purchasers to
place their orders now for delivery at
a future date. In explanation of this
situation it is stated that the condi-
tions which made it possible to supply
the demand for these machines last
November, December and January,
caused the factory to close down, and
there is no stock of materials on hand
at the assembly plants to build new
cars. There are hundreds of buyers
in this territory who are under the i'm
preston that they they can come and
buy a car and drive off with it any
day. But this is not the case. The ad
states that there is only one way to
make sure that your Ford car will be
delivered to you the day you want it
and that is by ordering now for de-
livery on the future date you choose.

The People of Meriwether.

The citizens, men and women OF
Meriwether township, Edgefeld
county, have formed a league to en-
courage and assist enforcement OF
law and order, having especially in
mind protection and punishment of
violation of the prohibition laws.
That is an excellent thing for the
people of Meriwether, n of the ex-
cellent communities, by the way, of
South Carolina. If the prohibition
laws are to be enforced in this state,
action of a similar kind needs to be
taken in townships, villages and
towns everywhere in the State.
The sole hope Of driving bootleg
gers and moonshiners out of South
Carolina lies in the alertness, ag-
gressiveness and continuing activities
of the, men and women who desire
that this state be a secure and pleas
ant land in which to live.
The law-breakers T banded. The
bootleggers and the moonshiners
have no ritual, they r not bound by
weird and blood-curdling oaths, but
they know how to help one another.
They are a numerous body Of men
and they travel far and fast. If the
respectable people Of South Carolina
are to be saved from the demoraliza-
ton that they cause and from the
crimes that their nefarious business
makes to flourish, it is necessary that
they organize, following the example
that the people Of Meriwether have
J set.
A hundred thousand brave men
and women Of this state uniting their
efforts and working with sincere pur-
pose IAN enforce all the laws in the
statute books.-The State.

Why Trade at Home?

Many people ask that question but
very few trouble to seek the answer.
Why should people ~patronize their
home merchants?
Because it is a great saving OF
time and time today represents
money.
Because the home merchant a
only remain in business through the
patronage of home people, and a
town without merchants would be a
sorry place to live in.
Because the home merchant sells
goods that do not have to be return
ed because of defects or inferior
quality. 1t is the only way in which
a local man can hold his trade.
Because the local merchant lis not
in the habit of charging excessive
prices. You may at times be able to
get the same article elsewhere for a
little less money, but the quality will
invariably be reduced in proportion
to the price. The local merchant car
not afford to sell "cheap" stuff. The
customers would not tolerate it.
Because the prosperity of q conn
munity depends upon the amount OF
money in circulation and that is
regulated mainly by the marketing
of surplus products abroad and the
keeping of as much as possible OF the
receipts at home.
Because a community that spends
most of it's money abroad for sup
plies soon finds that it has but little
left for the purchase Of additional
supplies. s
1t is SO simple a child could under
stand, and what a child can compre-
bend should not GO unheeded by
adults.
Think it over.
Thinking may accomplish a lot Of
fgood. It certainly will do no harm.

helps widows and parents on the birth
of a child.
Second: Laws to safeguard the
child and the family.
Through the Infant Life Protection
Act, New Zealand women saved the
babies as the women of no other
country have saved them. In Dunedin,
one of New Zealand's largest cities,
only 3S babies die per thousand. 1t
is the healthiest baby city in the
world. Compare it with New York,
where 125 babies die per thousand.
(Remember Tennyson's prophecy
! that she would "gain in mental breath
nor fail in childward care.)
/ New Zealand women have thrown
Legislative safeguard around the
health and happiness of school chill
dren. They ride free on the street
cars in going to and from school.
They have secured the passage OF an
Industrial School Amendment and a
Juvenile Smoking Suppression Act.
They've passed the Destitute Per
sons Act, which provides for the reg
istration of a child born out Of we'd
lock in it's fathers name where pa
rentage is proved and for the power
to claim in any state, maintenance OF
such child.
They have secured the passage OF
the Legitimation Act, which provides
that when parents marry, any child
born before such marriage shall be
entitled to all the rights of a child
born in wedlock, including the inheri-
lance of property.
New Zealand women have stood
back of the effort to establish tech
meal schools, giving equal opportu-
nifty for both sexes, and the effort to
secure scientific temperance instruc-
ltion in public schools as well as
measures for the general raising ct
the standards of public instruction.
J By 1911 the standards of literacy
in New Zealand was brought to the
point where there was no such thing
as illiteracy in the length and breadth
of the islands. At the age period OF
is to 20, 99h per cent Of the whole
population could read and write; be-
tween the ages Of Is and 20 SO 81
per cent could read and write. (Com'
pare this with South Cardinals rec
ord.)
j Fourth: Laws to raise the lega
/ economic and political status OF wo'
men.
They have championed the inter
ests of shop girls through the Shot,
!, Assistants Act. This safeguards TIT

wages and health of shop girls and
insures better working conditions for
them.
They have secured the passage OF
a Factory Act, which recognizes the
principle of equal pay for equal work.
New Zealand women have equal
lied the standards of morality by Sc
curing the passage of acts that en-
ables a wife to divorce a husband on
the same grounds on which a husband
can divorce a wife.
Fifth: Laws to raise the standards
of community morals and social help
fulness.
New Zealand women were instru-
mental in passing the Licensing
Amendent which provides for the
gradual adjustment of barmaids, to
make early closing universal, and to
do away with bottle licenses and the
locker system, all of which were
working to the social disadvantage
of the community.
They have repealed the Contagious
Disease Act, which VIGOROUSLY IA
vored dissolute men at the expense
NOT onlv of dissolute women but de-
cent women as well.
All this goes to show the kind OF
Legislation in which women have in
terested themselves. And is this point
not proved by remembering the ma
ture of the public activities which
have engaged the attention of women
lin this country, and to which they
have bent their efforts, and lent their
Influence even though they did not
have the ballot? Does prohibition owe
anything to the W. C. T. u? We're
child labor laws influenced in any
way by women? And are not these
things the natural %outgrowth OF Wo'
mans true and constant duty which
cannot be alienated from her whether
she be by the fire-side or by the ballot
box?
Lastly: Do the women in New zea'
land really vote on election day?
That is, do they go to the polls? Let
us see: There were in New Zealand
a quarter of a century ago 100000
women over voting age. There were
very few miles of railroad annd New
Zealand is a mountainous country
Yet when it came time to register
los, 900 of the 100000 registered
When it came time to vote 10000 Of
the 1o9, 900 went to the polls ane
voted.
Let us be equally alert in regart
to our privileges. Let us joir tn
