Art Exhibit at whitworth.

The art studio of Whitworth Col
lege over which Miss Boykin pre-
sides, was the scene of an unusually
attractive and extensive display and
sale of the work of students in ap-
piled arts on Monday and Tuesday.
Candlesticks, trays. baskets, china,
lampshades, shopping bags, vanity
cases, and other articles decorated by
the students, elected the admiration
of visitors, many Of whom became
purchasers. Many of the articles
displayed were not for sale. as the
exhibition included all the finished
work done since the opening of the
college in September.
A china breakfast set tinted, and
decorated in gold by Miss Elsie Ev-
ans, brought hundred dollars from
a Memphis purchaser.
Miss Virginia Afford sold dozens
of decorated trays at a dollar each.
She also sold many lamp shades.
Work by Mrs. Charles Smith, Miss
Katherine Parsons and Miss Alice
Moreton was Of much local, as well
as artistic interest.
The extensive display Of well ex-
ecuted decorative work reflected
much credit upon the department
and gave pleasure to many callers.

GREAT VICTORY FOR THE PEG.
PIE AND THE LAW.

After noting that no other civil
suit in the history of Mississippi has
been as much talked about as the
suit brought under the antitrust sta
tute of Mississippi, by Revenue A
gent Stokes ". Robertson, against
the fire insurance companies and
that it was hard, long fight and
took all the courage. legal ability
and moral stamina that human be-
ing could muster to stand up and
fight it out under the tremendous
pressure brought against Robertson
by the insurance interests, the South
ern Sentinel said:-
This legal victory won by Mr..
Robertson is one Of the most notable
victories ever achieved in the courts
of Mississippi. To Judge Clayton d.
Potter, former justice Supreme
Court, and his associate, Mr.. Chal-
mers, is due much credit for the le-
gal side of the victory.
The Sentinel congratulates Mr..
Robertson and his associates and the
State of Mississippi upon winning
such a great and notable victory for
the law and the people,"

If they will take the money they saw

Weekly Letter from State Depart
ment of Education.

Circuit Judge W. H. Potter has
rendered most favorable and far
reaching opinion in the matter of the
Equalization School Fund. He holds
that the Legislature had the right
and still has the right to make such
an appropriation without any amend
ment to the Constitution or any spe-
cial session of the Legislature. Law
yers and laymen alike are almost
unanimous in endorsing Judge Pot
ter's stand on this very important
question. If his decision is upheld in
the Supreme Court, where it will be
carried within the next two weeks,
it will be one of the greatest vic
tories won for education in Missis-
sippi in long time.
Judge J. Morgan Stevens and Hon
Fred Lotterhos, our attorneys, have
made great fight and we have won
even beyond our expectations thus
far.-By w. F. Bond.

Ku Klux Klarl Tribute.

(From the Lexington Advertiser).
The Rev. Thomas Walker Adams,
American, has completed his initia-
tion upon this earth and has an
swered the call to take his place a.
mong the citizens Of the Empire In

Brother Adams had expressed his
wish to die in harness-and he did
so; he literally gave his life for the
organization he loved, for the tire
some journey from his home in
Brookhaven to Lexington for one of
his age, 73, and his poor physical
condition, no doubt precipitated the
fatal attack of appoplexy that devel-
oped soon after reaching his desti-

address on the Purposes and Princi-
pies of the Ku Klux Klan-substi-
tuting for another lecturer who had
been advertised to deliver an address
in this city. A summons to Atlanta
preventing his filling the engage
ment, Brother Adams was the only
available man in the state the Grand
Dragon could get in touch with and
with the courage to substitute for
the Imperial Lecturer.
When he was called upon, he an
swered, and the realm of Mississip-
pi lost its most honored member, for
Brother Adams enjoyed the distinc-
t1on of being the only living man in
the state for whom a khan is named

for him, is really a product Of his
creation and he is held in high es-
TEEN there. He had been a presid-
ing elder in the Methodist church
for many years and had some of his
largest churches his conference could
assign.
Thomas Walker Adams, brainy,
courageous, wide-open klansman and
Christian gentleman, has gone to his
reward, but the world is better for
his having lived in it. He is an ex-
ample to all klansmen in fidelity to

Letter from U. S. N. to School
Principals.
Recruiting Station Hous

Recruiting Station House,
New Orleans, La.
My Dear Mr.. Principal
l am writing you to call your at
tention to the Navy in behalf of
those boys in your school who have
not the opportunity or means to
continue their studies and go to col
lege. To these fellows we have
training, travel, trade, good pay
and future to offer. To the other
the fellow who can go to college
we have nothing so good as his op-
portunity, and we do not care to at
tract him.
AS Principal of the Boys High
School you can do the Navy great
good and show your boys a great
opportunity simply by realizing the
opportunities offered by the Navy of
today.
That you will talk Navy each time
you counsel your boys on course
through life, is assured. Please read
the enclosed literature and digest
the unusual proposition that is Of
fered to every American boy of
clean habits, who has grammar
school education.
We offer to instruct him and make
him a skilled artificer if he but show
the desire to learn-7a photogra-
pher or stenographer, accountant,
radio man, seaman, painter, boiler
maker, engineman, coppersmith, gas
engineman, moulder, aviation me-
chanic, etc.
There are two courses open to a
boy who enters the Navy
(a) The Navy as a life profess
ion.
(b) The Navy as a path to a
trade.
Each leads to expert, definite
knowledge, the qualification of sue
cess, and each produces skilled ar
tificer. Men are instructed to make
them experts-not worked in mar
row groove to produce dividends for
the other fellow.
The Navy must be ready at all
times--i. e., it's machinery must be
ready and in condition. Only we'll
trained men who can operate, repair
and remake their machinery can be
ready at all times, and 80 per cent
of the men on battleship are train
ed artificers.
The average boy that leaves High
School has no trade (unless he takes
the commercial course); he is simp-
ly fitted to get a fair start in life.
Where is he to get his training? Will
he become one of the army of cleri-
cal workers and do general office
work? What about this fellow when
he reaches the age of forty? Has he
saved thirty or even twenty thous-
and dollars in Liberty Bonds Can
and dollars in Liberty Bonds? Can
dependent? Or will his children
leave school to help the family a.
long? His high school education is
back ground. Let the Navy de-
velop electricity ty-machinery.
Youth disregards percentage and
thinks not of old ge. Financial In
dependence. They don't appreciate
what 1t means.
But you do.
Don't let the boys squander their
youth-their stock in trade. Make
each boy look his future in the eye
and choose his trade-in the Navy.
Yours truly,
Kemp G. Christian,
Lieut.. U. s. N, Rec. Officer.
