FROM OUR READERS

We have received the following
from one of our readers, with request
to publish, which we are glad TO do.
Our columns are always open to ar
ticles OF merit, where the, writer
makes himself known. The letter fol-
lows;
Neshoba, Miss, July s, 1921.
Editor Neshoba Democrat:
AS the time for the Cold Water
fair is drawing near feel constrain-
ed to say a few things in regard to
the past managemento OF same.
Now / am not a pessimist nor a
chronic kicker, but do feel an inter-
est in tine moral status OF our coun-
try. especially as it relates to the
youth OF our country. Now what |
want to say relates strictly to gamb-
ling that has been permitted and
even licensed on the Playground for
the last few sessions. Now hap
pened to know something OF the
moral character of the promoters OF
that Institution and am sure that
they never dreamed that gambling
would ever become one OF the main
features. They were men OF morals
worth and had the good of the peo-
pie at heart. There are numbers OF
the best people who would gladly
support the Fair and help to make it
a success. IL the original purposes
were adhered to. Now / will not
elaborate on the, subject, but hope
what ] have said will elicit remarks
from someone more able than my
self, close. Signed, A Patron.

JULY FARM AND GARDEN HINTS.
POTATOES

The time ia ripe for planting fall
Irish Potatoes. Lookout Mountain
Is good variety. A good stand is
difficult In fall potatoes. Land should
be well broken and disced, the rows
about three feet apart and the tubers
planted four to five inches deep. Just
before the potatoes begin to break
through the surface. 1t is well to run
a section or spiked tooth harrow
over the rows, which breaks the
crust, kills the grass and is splen-
did cultivation for the first time.

over the rows, which breaks the
crust, kills the grass and is splen-
did cultivation for the first time.
TOMATOES
Cultivate tomatoes shallow. The
roots feed near the surface and deep
cultivation is Injurious. II the plants
are sluggish add teaspoonful OF
nitrate OF soda to each, placing
around the plant. Do not let any Of
it touch the plant. Unpruned toma-
to plants yield more than pruned
plants, but on pruned plants fruit is
larger.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Watch for garden insects. They
are worse at this time. If found ex-
terminate them.
Do not let grass and weeds eat up
plant food, and drink the soil water.
Hold the showers that fell last week.
POULTRY
Market your surplus cockrels now.
They will bring better prices than In
the fall. Keep every pullet and have
them culled in September and Octo-
Der to select your layersfor winter
eggs. Dispose Of the old roosters and
produce infertile eggs, Sellyour cock
rels now, and reduce your feed bills.
1t will costryou money to keep them
and they don't bring you returns
like hens and pullets. Give poultry
plenty OF fresh water during these
hot days, and have good dry mash
before your hens at all times. Skim
med milk and huttermAk should be
fed them. Vessels used for butter
milk should be earthenware or best
granite. Buttermilk causes tin ware
to corrode.

FRIDAY.

Mrs. Hooper was almost tempted to
remain away from the club today, be-
cause she was so anxious to get OF the
making OF Helen's new clothes. But
aside from the fact that she had invited
the bride to come TO the club with her,
In anticipation Of having her become
member as soon as possible, so that she
would feel that there was entertainment
and socia ability for her in : neighbor-
hood. and that she would not have al
ways to go back to the city for 1t, Mrs.
Hooper made rather point Of not miss
ING the meetings unless something seri-
Gus prevented.
The discussion among the mothers and
the other women interested In the health
Of the community was whether 1t was
really necessary for children to have
whooping cough and measles and mumps
and these so-called diseases OF youth
as It has been believed for so long.
With the month Of April has come an
epidemic Of whooping cough, that was
following one Of measles, which has
claimed many small victims In Mayfeld'
and which had threatened at one time
to close the schools for several weeks.
1t was the contention on the part OF
several of the women that since begin
ming in January ana IdstlnB dihOol' "
the first of May, there was each year
this period Of childrens epidemics that
something ought to be done to keep down
the number Of cases or perhaps devise
some means by which the epidemics
would cease to appear in their midst.
'4Theres no use Of our trying to do
ANYTHING about IT, announced one wom-
an in a tone or fnality. children al
ways have these things, and they always
viii, and the best way is just to let them
have humps and measles and whooping
cough as soon as possible and then they
will be all through with them while they
are young"
But that is an old-fashioned idea"
objected another member of the club.
1--WE are being told now that there Is
really no reason why ones children
should ever have those diseases, If they
are taken proper care of and protected
by an intelligent mother"
''Of course, there is always the danger
from accidental exposure that even the
most careful mother is powerless to
guard against at all times" said Mrs.
Hooper when she was appealed to by
the chairman Of the section. but | am

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
BY David Cory.

By David Cory.
Well, the next morning when Puss
woke up he looked out of the window
and there stood the little cake tree, which
I told you about in the last story,
standing in the yard, and it was Just
loaded down with frosted cakes.
Well, I'm glad it wasn't a Dream
said little Puss to himself, for it all
seemed so strange to think that from a
little twig should grow such a wonderful
tree. But then, you know, this world is
full Of wonderful things, only many of
US don't believe In fairies and so these
wonderful things never happen to them.
Well, Puss set out PRETTY soon on his
journey, after he had hidden the pretty
girl good-by, and after a while, not so
very long. he heard a voice singing:
Over the river and far away.
When done is the busy, toiling day.
A maiden stands on a hilltop there
With star of gold on her forehead fair.
Who are you?" asked little Puss
Junior, and he looked all around, but he
saw no one. And then the voice com
menced to sing again:
"But who shall travel that distance far
To find the maid with the bright gold
star?
Only he whose boots are made
BY two little elves IN the forest glade. ~
And then Puss looked about him, but
still he saw nothing, only, all of a sud
den golden shadow darted through the
tree tops. 1t was that little yellow bird
whose name I shall tell you some time
Come. back! Come back :" cried Puss,
but the little bird only replied, far away
in the distance:
Only he whose boots are made
BY two little elves who live in the glade"
"Why, she must mean me-" thought
Puss, for he suddenly remembered how
he had gotten his wonderful red top
boots. So he set of at once for that
far-away land where the star maiden
stood at eventide and by and by it
grew late and still he had a long way to
go. But after awhile. as he looked to-
ward the hilltops in the west, he saw
the figure Of a girl standing against the
misty, yellow clouds. So he hurried on,
and you may well believe he went fast,
for his boots were magic ones, you know,
and covered the ground in very quick
time. And pretty soon he came to the
foot Of the hill, on the top of which
stood the lovely maiden with the gold
star on her forehead. So up he climbed.
and as he went higher and higher he
head her voice singing this song:
Little boy baby IN cradle so deep,
The Evening Stars singing you fast
to sleep.
Little girl baby on mothers soft breast,
The Evening Stars singing you gently
to rest.
Rock a by, rock by, cuddle down deep.
Dreams Of the Star Maiden come when
you sleep"
And In the next story III tell you
what Puss said TO the beautiful maiden
with the gold star or her forehead
