popularity supposed to mean Father
Of the Waters but this interpreta-
ton is. incorrect. The state is also
known as the Bayou State from the
many bayous which are formed by the
shifting river In this connection it is
interesting to note the uneven course
Of the Mississippi river. Though the
extreme length of the state from the
Gulf to Tennessee is $50 miles, the
western border, due to the winding Of
the Mississippi river, extends for
nearly 500 miles.
The rivers play an important part
In this. state. They are so numerous
and the country so subject to flood
that the river bottoms cover nearly
aone-fifth OF the area Of the entire
state. Recompense for this condition.
however lies in the richness of the
soil and It is claimed that the Yazoo
bottoms form the best cetton lands in
\ the world. 4 ri .1 &
{, The early history Of Mississippi is
yoked up with that of Louisiana OF
which it originally, formed a part. Dis
covered by De Soto In 1889, it was
not until La Sale sailed down the riv-
or and claimed this territory, which
he named In honor Of his French
king, Louis XIV. that permanent
settlement was established.
In 1853 the territory east Of the
Mississippi was coded by the French
to the English, For a while the lower
portion Of, the present state was calico
West Rlorida. After being captured
Fby the Spanish and later returned to
the United States; the Territory OF
Mississippi was extended to its pres
ent size Of 1895 square miles and in
1917 III was admitted as the twentieth
statesof the Union. AT the time OF
the Mexican war, although called up

regiments was commanded by Jeffer-

DELAWARE STATE FAIR.

Delaware State Fair will be held
September s, 6, 7, 8 and 8 at Els

better than ever, with all the usual
features and number OF new ones.
How to make a wOman's dress

iceless refrigerator that really
works and a home made fireless
cooker, will be some of the many
other interesting exhibits that will
be shown at the Home Economics
booth at the Fair.
Making a woman's dress out of
suit OF clothes sounds foolish, but
1t has been done and at one of the
clothing schools in Delaware under
the direction of the Demonstration
! Agent.
The ordinary woman takes $500
steps to a mile and goodness knows
how many miles she walks in a day.
There will be labor and time saving
devices on exhibition that will help
every mother and housewife to
economic ON the amount of effort
they put forth in the days work.
Twenty-Five communities in the
state are doing Home Economic
work under the direction of the
Home Demonstration Agent. If
any mother or housewife in Della
ware wishes to improve her living
conditions through labor and time
saving devices and methods, let her
stop at the booth at the Fair and
ask for Miss Woods. The rest will
be easy.
The Information and work is

TO THE WOMEN VOTES,

Increased patronage for the wo-
men voters, they having been placed
in a position to vote, and having the
same privilege of the ballot as the
men, they should be allowed to go
further and assume all the legal re-
sponsibilities of a full pledged
voting male.
While there is not statutory pro-
vision in the Maryland law govern
ing the qualifications of a grand
juror with respect to sex the code
does contain a provision limiting the
petit juries to male taxable resi-
dents, and the sense of the law is
that males only can be drawn on
juries.
Although women are serving on
juries in other States, and getting
great credit from the Courts for
their judgment and decisions, the
women of Maryland have to look to
the Maryland legislature to give
them the privilege of having equal
rights with the men voters. l am
in favor, if elected, of the legisla-
ture granting to the woman voter
all the privileges that go with the
right of male voting resident.

Pearl Poachers

To see the pearl fisher at work
there is no need to go to the South
seas. In the first fine days of June
he may be found by burn or Ioch In
a dozen parts of Scotland, says a cor
respondent. He is usually of the tin.
ker class, and his outfit is of the sim.
plest-a water telescope made of wood
and bit Of common glass and cleft
stick to pull up the mussels, in any
one Of which he may find small for
tune. These mussel-pearis from the
Ythan and Teith and other Scottish
sfresms fetch good prices; one was
sold not long ago for fully $3.50. Pearls
are found in Canada mussels also,
some of them of considerable value.
But in Canada there Is little or no
private ownership Of waters, so that
our pearl fishers run no risk, as do the
Scots, of being arrested for poaching.
