Card to Mr.. DinsmOre

Cliftonville, Miss.
June u, 1922.
Mr.. Robert Dinsmore,
Macon Miss.
Dear Sir.
When you were a candidate for re-
preventative from Noxubee County |
supported you with the understanding
as | thought that you were a neutral
in Mississippi politics and would re-
main SO, On yesterday you made the
statement that Vardaman's health
was very bad indeed and that you
did not think he would be able to go
through with his campaign, and that
you felt sure that he was a badly beat
man.
Now, Mr.. Dinsmore, in fairness to
your friends who are Vardaman sup
porters it occurred to me that you
were rather transcending the position
that we, your friends, assisted in
placing you in.
As a supporter of Vardaman, | am
taking this means of calling upon you
to reconcile by public statement your
position while a candidate and your
present position, as my information
IS that the Senator's health is rapidly
improving and that he will be in the
field by July LIST, and ready to meet
and shake hands with his many friends
not only in NoXubee County but
throughout the state Of Mississippi.
Yours very truly.

What is A Home Demonstration Agent

The question has been asked a num-
Der OF tunes, Well what Is a nome de-
monstratlon agent! Inc answer Is
this.
IN the solution of the complex and
varied problems of home making many
fields OF knowledge must be drawn up
on. Long ere this the fields OF chem
iStry, physics, biology, physiology,
psychology. and philosophy have been
called upon to furnish help for the
doctor, the lawyer, the minister, and
the artisan, but only very recently
has it been realized that from these
same fields can be derived valuable
help for the home maker. Since home
making is not only a profession in
which there are more women engaged
than any other but is also a profession
which probably more than any other
affects the well-being OF the race, it
is of Ike utmost Importance that all
that art and science have to offer
shall be placed at the disposal of the
home maker.
Ii is for the purpose Of making ac-
cessible to the home maker knowledge
Of the progress which has thus far
been made in the profession Of home
making and Of stimulating her to
make her work more effective and
her home-making ard her home more
satisfying that the Home Economics
Extension Service has been inaugural
ed.
The aim of the Home Demonstra-
ton Work is to provide for the women
of the County 4 means Of adding to
their knowledge, improving their ap-
precautions, and increasing their skill
as home-makers. The ideal sought
is to have every home
Economically sound,
Mechanically convenient,
Physically healthful
Morally wholesome,
Artistically satisfying,
Mentally stimulating,
Socially responsible,
Spiritually inspiring,
Founded upon mutual affection
and respect"

ton, Written by Miss Susie V.

What Home Demonstration Work is
Doing to Broaden Southern Home Life

According to the report Of the
United States Relation Service of the
u. S. Department of Agriculture for
1921 substantial progress was made
in carrying the helpful results of re-
search to the farm homes through the
Home Demonstration Agents. The
following extract is taken from this
report:
1.-THE home demonstration work with
240, 900 club girls and women in the
southern States centered around the
improving of diet and other home con-
ditions, raising and marketing of pro-
ducts to increase the family income,
and making the more healthful and
attractive. Over 14,00 900 pounds of
meat products were cured, 22S,500 cans
of meat were conserved. and over IA
100000 quarts of vegetables ard fruits
were canned, besides a large quantity
of Jelly and other preserves, and also
dried and brined products. Poultry
and eggs valued at S2,500,00 were pro-
duced and over 5000 family cows were
placed on farms.
County Home Demonstrations
Agents were employed in SGT counties
in southern territory.

COMES TO LIFE

Weeping Water, Neb.. Sept. 81
G.. j. Johnes, electrical worker in
this town, is fairly certain of two
rides in a hearse Johnes recently
had his first one, and lives to tell
about it.
He was working for a crushed
stone company operating a quarry
near here, and had been sent to in
vestigate some trouble on pole
line. He was putting new fuses in
transformers when current from
overhead wires jumped to the hand
screw driver and clippers. The cur
rent rant through his body and out
of his shoe on the right foot, tear
ing holes in socks and shoes, and
burning the big toe.
To make matters worse for him.
he was knocked Is feet onto a piece
of two by four lumber, touching live
wires as he fell. Fellow workers
gave him first aid, but doctor
when he arrived, said it was a case
for the coroner.
hearse was called. and the fam
! lily minister followed in an autOmo'
bile to administer consolation TO the
wife On the way Johnes began to
show signs of life, and the process
sion stopped for investigation. The
doctor said he would live, aud he
was driven home in the hearse. The
minister went ahead TO tell the wife
that her husband was living, de
spite the carriage chosen for bring
ing him home.
Doctors say he will be back on the
job in few days, nothing the worse
but missing toe. He received q
check from a casualty company be
cause he was compelled to part com

OPTIMISTIC OVER
BIG BEND OIL
OPERATORS WATCHING PROG
RESS OF BUTTE WELL
WITH INTEREST.

Pierre, Sept. 22-The oil excite
ment of year ago in the western
portion of the state has died Ndown
to point where the promoters,
while yet talking new locations, are
evidently waiting for the final de-
cision in the few eases where actual
work is yet being done. The main
point of interest appears to be the
Standing butte project, northwest of
Fort Pierre Work is slowly pro
crossing on this project, and as the
drill goes deeper the conditions are
being watched by all promoters to
find out what kind of chance they
may have.
The proposed development ni
what is known as the "Weedman
Dome" in southern Perkins coun-
ty, where the first excitement was
started several years ago, is likely to
be delayed by the loss of their der
rick, which was struck by lightning
and destroyed shortly after it was
erected.
Work has been stopped on tht
Blunt project for the present, and
the "oil experts" now claim that tn,
best possible field i'm the state is in
the Big Bend country, where they
believe there is certainty of oil beins
found.
While the promoters are busy in
several locations none of them are
venturing very far on actual expen
diture of money for drilling purpos
es until there is further develop
ment on the propects in which worl
is under operations. The Lennon
well, which was shut down and pu
under guard, over year ago, is In
the same position. and while othel
companies are talking OF that field
none of the mis- doing any actua
work.

prevention proclamation:
Annually throughout the United
States the destruction of life and
property by fire has steadily in
creased until the total yearly loss of
material wealth has now reached the
enormous sum of $4S5. 100000 This
means that needed resources of the

rate of $3.50, 900 daily. Still more
appalling is the fact that an average
of As human lives are each day de-
stroyed by fire.

1921, 35 citizens of South Dakota
were burned TO death and property
Of the value of $1,750,000 was de-
stroyed. 1t is evident therefore,
that we ourselves are paying our
full share of the fearful tax levied
by carelessness in handling fire haz-
ards. Eighty per cent of these fires
