1.-THE Hoopers, an average American
family Of five, living If suburban
town, on a limited inc me, will tell
the readers of the Daily Times how
the many present-day problems of the
home are solved by working on the
budget that Mrs Hooper has evolved
and found practical. Follow them
daily in an interesting review Of their
home life and learn to meet the con-
ditions of the high cost of living
with them.)
There is no maid in the Hooper house
hold. The only help that Mrs. Hooper
permits herself out Of the quota of 50
a week for operating expenses is laun-
dress who does the washing and iron
ing on Tuesday. In order to have sun
day evening free from the annoying de-
tail Of sorting and preparing soiled
clothes for the laundry, Mrs. Hooper
does not have her washing done on Mon
day, as so many housewives still do.
but makes Monday a day of general
picking up after Sunday and Of getting
ready for wash day on Tuesdar.
For nearly a year Mrs. Hooper has
been paying Ellen, the laundress, So a
day, though she is in no sense sub
stitute for faithful old colored Martha,
who, until her death, had done the fam
lily wash for ten years for dollar a day,
and had been devoted to the interests of
the family.
AS Mrs. Hooper descended the stairs
to the laundry, after Mr.. Hooper had
gone to the office, and Roger and Helen
had departed for school, she caught sight
of Ellen putting Baby Betty's colored
rompers into the tub with the white
clothes.
On the day before she had herself
sorted the clothes carefully so that the
fine pieces could be washed separately
and the colored ones be Numbered by
themselves.
Ellen" she exclaimed sharply, "Tve
told you repeatedly that you must not
put colored clothes and white ones to-
gether."
well, can't see any harm in II
when there's no color coming out OF
them" answered Ellen sulkily.
1T makes no difference" replied Mrs
Hooper firmly. 81 want you to do II
properly, and 1t is never safe to trust
colored pieces in the same tub with
white ones"

This is our slogan OF new nation

The movement has back of it far
more than a selfish desire on the part
Eof newspapers to acquire increased
fcirculation, for it is, in effect, step
toward the perfect unification of
kAmerica by the strengthing OF ties
that bind everyone to his native soil.
The campaign is, moreover, an ex-
cellent opportunity to boost the home
own. Fhe men women who were

many important changes have taken
fplace-changes in which they would
be greatly interested. It is more of.
ten the case than not that private cor
respondence overlooks these changes
however carefully one might attempt
y~to write "the news" in letter.
The newspaper, on the other hand,
prints all the items of interest, large
nd small. and is the ideal medium
Through which to keep in touch with

MISSISSIPPI NEEDS
MORE HOGS.
[By Paul +. Newell, Extension Ami
mai Husbandmanl

maj t1uSDauutnanI
duce n corn crop of about ninety mil
lion bushels this year. This will be
the largest crop Of corn that they
have yet harvested in the state by
about eight or ten million bushels.
The marketing of this surplus corn
will he bigger problem than we
have bad to face before. Dne to the
fact that there is going to he sur
plus OF corn produced in probably
the entire country and the fact that
we have higher freight rates than we
Ihave ever had before, it will be i'm
practical to try to put very much oi
this corn on the open market. The
fact that corn has been selling In the
corn belt for around 40 and so cents
a bushel during the past year is go.
| ing to bring our market here to about
I the same level because we have been
paying prices here for corn equal to
the corn belt price plus the freight to
points in Mississippi. We should then
| begin to consider other methods oil
marketing this surplus corn at this
time. The above figures being true,
| it seems that about the only market
we Will have for corn will be thru
the livestock of the farm rather than
hauling it from farm to the shipping
point and freighting 1t to other
points for sale on the open market.
There is no farm animal that will
utilize this corn SO profitably as well
the hog.
But here again we face another
problem We have very few hogs.
There are practically no feeder hogs
in the South and the farmers have
sold down very closely on their brood
sows. Farmers cannot afford to hold
this corn for another year for the
rats and weevils to eat and also for
probably cheaper prices than they
can get now. Good brood sows have
not been so cheap in quite long
time and the breeders are anxious to
| get rid of them, SO this is, a fine aap-
portunity to take advantage of this
condition 1t is true again, however,
that many farmers haven't the ready
cash with which to buy these sows.
| There remains then 1T seems but
one hope for immediate relief from
this situation and that is based on
the belief that we can convince the
bankers of this state OF the serious
ness of this situation. There is no
question but that the bankers of the
country are among the best thinkers
and most wide-awake men that we
| have and we believe that II this
| proposition is brought to their at
tention In a business-like manner
they will see the advisability of as
sisting the farmers in buying one OF
more good brood sows, according tC
their respective needs, and that this
surplus corn can be disposed OF with
good profit. Then, too, 1t should be
emphasized as never before that hogs
are good thing to stand by yeal
in and year out, and that 'livestock
keeping will mean prosperity"
