many new books were bought. But
this supply is getting low not
through loosing the books .(for- we
have an efficient librarian) but be-
cause the variety of books is not
sufficient and because there are moi
enough books for the different de-
partments. The new campaign is tc
be carried on under the supervision
of the Parent Teacher Association
and this fact alone should make it a
success. But the students should
work and work hard, for after all the
campaign is for the good of us rather
than of those who contribute.
We ARE going to work and we are
going to make this campaign a sue
cess fitting to the family for. which
our school is named, and the tradi-
lions which we all revere and respect.

Enthusiasm In The
Campaign For Books

z The location of the S. ID. Lee High
School library is indeed very appro-
pirate AS we all know, it is in the
old Stephen d. Lee home-a home
which was once owned by one of the
most cultured and best educated
families in Columbus. General Lee
was not only a reputed military man,
but also was we'll educated. Besides
graduating at West Point and serv-
ing in the Civil War, he was for sew
eral years president of the Agricul-
tural College at Starkville The
other members of his family and their
relatives have been known as very
literary people, several of the men
being noted lawyers. General Lees
father-in-law was at one time gov
ernor of Mississippi, and his son,
j. T. Harrison, was once lieutenant
governor. Steefed in such culture,
books, and literary taste as it has
been, the Stephen ID. Lee building is
truly an excellent place in which to
found a library.
DuJ are we HOlulilS up tiiG0C ILddi-
tons? Are we succeeding in having
a library worthy Of such ancestry?
We have a library, it is true, and we
are not falling to use it, but it is
sadly in need of books.
The teachers are more and more
requiring outside reading in connec-
ton with the various studies in our
curriculum, and the library is the
only place we have in which to salts
fy these demands. But, greatly to
our sorrow and often lowering to
our grades, the supply Of books is too
low to allow us to do this outside
reading. We need many new books
and some way had to be found to
secure them.
A way has been found-and we
are going to get the books at last.
The approaching library campaign is
the solution. Last year rather sue
cessful campaign was put over" and

Mrs. Della Cole and Mrs. Nora

day.
Just heard a neighbor say he
wouldn't pay a poll tax for his wife
and that he had rather have her name
on the delinquent list than on the
jury list or the Poll Book. Before
this list is published the man who
has it done had better be sure the
law requires it of him. Some trouble
may spring up over the matter. The
man who publishes Mrs. Johnnie as a
delinquent will get his head punched
with a fire poker. Forget it rot.

AIEXANDRA'S SISTER

Little Miss Alexandra Talantis is
the happiest little girl in seven states,
all because she has little baby sis
ter to admire and adore. Mr.. and
Mrs. James A. Talantis announce the
birth of their second daughter on
January 25th. Their first daughter,
Alexandra, little streak of sun
shine, has thrown all her dolls and
toys into the discard and will play
with nothing but her baby sister. Mr..
and Mrs. Talants find it exceedingly
difficult to persuade Alexandra to
leave off playing with the baby long
enough to eat and sleep.
We have often wondered what the
thoughts Of tiny tads were like when
new baby comes into the home.
They probably think of it as an an
mated doll.
