form the basis of party opinion there
are others that are evidently put into
the platform for the purpose of win
ning the support of voters who are
more deeply interested in them than
in the Fundamentals. Not infrequent-
ly such planks are earnestly and open
ly opposed by many members before
they are made part of the party
creed. In fact there is probably no
platform of any organization that is
fully accepted in all its parts by any
one who votes the ticket So the
obligation of loyalty is not absolute
on minor points individual independ-
ence is often permissible.
Nevertheless, the obligation is
} greater on those who have accepted
representative office from their party
than it is on individual conscienceS
They are in the position of having
undertaken to assist in carrying ou'
the announced purposes and fulfill
ing the promises of their party Al
though they may not be morally boun(
to follow the leaders or to obey tn,
decisions of the caucus on every Ques

dom of action that private citizens
have. Accepting an election on ;
party platform requires them to sub

Will of the majority unless that vii
offends their conscience.

party loyalty. 1t is not necessary t

requested AID Ia the construction OF
an eighteen foot grave, road from the
CIarhv-Laude rdsle County ilHg, a dis
,aEce Of s.N ana ,Hree tlnths miles TO-
wards Meridian, where it viii con-
meet with the Arunule Road, an I'M
proved County project which runs on
in TO Meridian.
With the Surfacing of this link, the
Highway from Poplarville, where It
turns oil into Louisiana, up through
Hattiesburg and Laurel to Meridian,
viii be either already surfaced or un-
der construction, and from Meridian
to Columbus and on to the Alabama
! line, is completed with the exception
of stretch in kemper County. Since
| the southern route was finally de
cided upon in 1916, construction on
this highway has gone forward rapid
ly, the counties and State cooperating
III their efforts to complete the part
of this important national highway
lying in Mississippi.
Eighty five and seventy hundredths
miles of the two hundred eighty two
of this road, are being const ! tied
with the aid of Federal funds, there
being nine Federal Aid Projects along
the route. Thirty and ninety eight
hundredths miles of this has already
been completed, and the other is rapid
ly nearing completion. This leaves
one hundred ninety six, and thirty
three hundredths miles. which have
beer constructed by the counties
through which the highway passes.
If the proposed constitutional amend
ment, which has been submitted by
the Legislature to popular ballot, is
passed at the November elections, this
Highway will be taken over by tbs
State for maintenance, since it il
! part of the proposed State Highway
System. This amendment adds {
, clause to Section no of the State Con
stitution making it read: "The boards
, of supervisors shall have fun juris
, diction over roads, ferries, and bridges
, in their respective counties, eXcep
+, such roads, ferries, and bridges al
shall be designated by the Legisla
, ture as State Highways. which high
ways shall be under the full juris

tenancc'. This would enable th
State to take over and maintain il
the best condition, State Highwa,
. System, which would connect ever,
: county seat and center of population
. of six hundred or more in the state.
The completion of the Jackson High
way will mean much to the State
since through traffic from the north

and Gulf Coast will pass through Mis-
sississippi. 1t will also mean that tn

NEW FLOWER PEST APPEARS
Chrysanthemum Pest Is Found in
Mississippi

A. & NJ. College, Miss. The first
record appearance in Mississippi of
the Chrysanthemum Gall Midge, the
worst pest of chrysanthemums, was
announced recently when specimens Of
severely-infested plants were recelv-
ed at the State Plant Board labora
tory from two Mississippi greenhouses
In both cases the plants had been pur-
chased originally from firms in Hi
nois. A few days later the parcel
post inspection service reported the
interception of five infested shipments
from Pennsylvania.
As this pest does serious injury to
chrysanthemums by causing gals on
the leaves, stems, and flower heads
all growers of these plants should
carefully inspect hny cuttings or
plants they purchase or receive in ex-
change from other growers. As the
Gall Midge attacks outdoor chrysan-
themums also, all growers of chrysan-
themums, whether using greenhouses
or not, are asked to send specimens of
suspicious looking plants to the En-
tomologist, A. & NJ. College, Missis-
sippi for determination.
A little mechanism named a "tele-

ping on a party line where the con-
trivance is in use costs money.
"Do you want your daughter to
marry farmer?" asked a mid West
ern journal of 1000 farmers wives in
all parts of the country. Less than
six per cent of the number answered
mo" and many of the $3.50 who voted
'yes' pointed out that modern ap-
pliances, social betterments and the
automobile have relieved the farmers
wife of most of the drudgery of house
work. One writer said, "The woman
who is drudge on a farm will be
drudge wherever you put her."
A new solar cooker consists of
parabolic mirror that focuses the rays
of the sur on tube filled with miner
al oil. The tube connects with an
iron reservoir in which are the bak-
ing ovens, The circulation of the
heated oil produces a high tempera-
ture in the ovens and maintains it for
several hours, even after the sun has
gone down or is hidden by clouds.
