ENTERTAINMENT is NOT ALL
WE GET FROM PLAY.

There is no finer test Of the true
character Of a boy or girl than a good
game. Invariably it will bring out
the good and the bad that is within
one, and furnish an excellent oppor-
tunity to curb the bad and encourage
the good.
The boy or girl who plays the game
fair and square viii be fair and
square in life. On the other hand,
the boy and girl who is inclined to
cheat win also cheat or beat his fel-
bowman, unless that tendency is Grad
icated or killed out. ! know Of no
better set Of rules to guide us in our
plays and games or even in the big
game Of life itself than the follow
ing 'Ten Commandments Of Good
Sport" which were taken from one
Of our leading magazines. They are
as follows:
l. Thou shalt not quit.
2. Thou shalt not alibi.
3. Thou shalt not gloat over win
ming.
4. Thou shalt not be 3 rotten loser.
5. Thou shalt not take unfair ad-
vantage.
6. Thou shalt not take odds thou
art unwilling to give.
7. Thou shalt always be ready to
give thine opponent the shade.

PUT SCHOOLS IN ORDER.
State Department Calls Upon Trus-
tees to Get Busy.

School houses and grounds should
be put in order before the first day Of
school. The Trustees, Of course. are
the ones who, under the law, are re-
qulred to see that this Is done. The
following things should be attended
to:
!. The school building and furni-
ture should be thoroughly cleaned and
the school yard put IN first class con-
dition. Broken window panes, leaky
roofs, broken locks, etc, should be
looked after.
2. The seats should be so arranged
that the children will not face the
light, for If they do their eyes will
be permanently injured. The light
should come from the left side or back
If possible.
3. The water supply should be ab-
solutely safe. Rain water should not
be allowed to drain into the springs
or wells. The children should not be
allowed to drink after one another.
Every child should have its own
drinking-cup.
a. The out-houses should be made
absolutely sanitary. Trustees should
advise with the County Health Officer
"a AtA~A~AA~E W tlAAH ntAttLIr ~ ~
criminal to allow conditions to exist
that viii cause the spread Of contag-
ious and infectious diseases.
5. During the session there should
be proper ventilation at all times.
Where the children breathe foul air
day after day their bodies become
very much weakened causing consum-
ption, pneumonia, dullness and other
troubles.
6. The heating system should be ar
ranged SO as not to bake some chill
dren and freeze others.
Trustees who are really anxicus to
do their very best for the school will
take an active interest in seeing that
the school building and grounds are
put in the very best condition possible
for the reception Of the children on
the first day Of school.

elected Ross Collins, former attoin-
ey general and the present congress-
man from the Fifth District, NAV
have been defeated by Floyd Loper
who entered the race fifteen days be-
fore the primary. A second urinary
may be necessary, as there was an
other candidate, woman, in the race.
I. Webber Wilson is probably elected
over jeff Collins in the Sixth District,
Collins was Gov. Rnssell's spokesman
in the last session Of the state senate.
The total vote Of the state was un-
accountably small, there not being
three-fourths Of the total registered
vote polled. 1t had been noted for
some time that little interest was be-
ing manifested in the election, but
during the last few weeks Of the cam
paign strenuous efforts were made by
the various candidates to shake the
voters out Of their lethargy, and it was
believed that these efforts would be
rewarded by almost a full vote
In Claiborne county, only about one
third Of the voters took the trouble
to go to the polls. This was account
ed for in measure by the rains which
fell in various parts Of the county on
that day.

TEN MILLION OUTsTDERs

In the Year Book Of the Churches,
Just issued, there are some very in
structive statistics. The total church
population (not membership Of the
country at the present time, including
all the religions, is stated to be
v5,584, ,l07. With total population
estimated at 11O,000,0OO, this would
give 96 out Of every 106 individuals
as having afiiliation with some Of the
recognized churches. The remainder
over 100000 in number-must be
regarded as wholly outside Of the
churches, and may be set down as
Hhome heathen."
Christian Americas Protestant
churches have, according to the show
ing of the Year Book. 75,0O0,0OO adj
herents, The Catholic churches have
85,646; Jewish, 1,600,000; Eastern
Orthodox, All ,054; Latter Day Saints,
587,91S The three largest bodies
are the Methodist, 22,171 1853; Bap-
tist, n ,93S,700; Roman Catholic.
17,885,6d6. To the Protestant church
es, therefore, representing the larg-
est aggregation Of Christians, there
lies open a new field for spiritual ac-
tiyity-a field right at our very doors,
and it should not be neglected. The
10,000,000 or more Of "home heather
should be sought out in the tenements,
and the slums, and in the highways
and byways. 1t is plainly our duty to
carry the Gospel to these neglected
ones. We spend vast sums every
year IN spreading the Gospel in for
eign lands; here Is work nearer at
hand. It should not be said of Us that
we till and cultivate, planting abroad,
while "our own garden we have not
kept"
As a whole, the figures given above
show remarkable progress, and should
afford encouragement to all who have
the progress Of Christianity at heart.
They provide sufficient answer for
those who criticise the Church for
lack Of energy in adding TO its
strength. It IS only few years
since the total Protestant strength
was estimated at less than 60,000,O00
souls, and assuming the figures IN the
Year Book to be reliable, the advance
is little less than phenomenal Chris
tan Herald.

COTTON WORM REPORTS.
Suggestions Regarding Destruction
and Prevention Of Spread.

appearance Of the cotton worm or cot

gist, states that none Of these insects
have actually been received from any
point in Mississippi. Correspondents
have esnt in numerous other worms
that have been collected on cotton, es-
pecially the bollworm and the cotton
square-borer, but these insects are
present every year and unless unus-
ually abundant should not cause any
uneasiness.
AS Professor Harmed has received
kilograms from four counties asking
If calcium arsenate will control the
cotton worm, it is probable that this
question has occurred to many people,
lie states that calcium arsenate as
applied for the boil weevil will con-
trol the cotton worm and all planters
who are using this substance against
the boil weevil need have no fear of
serious loss from the cotton worm.
The only other remedy that he recon-
mends is powdered arsenate Of lead
that may be applied by the old pole
and sack method.
The Plant Board is anxious to learn
just where and when the cotton warns
appeared in Mississippi and cotton
growers are urged to inspect their
fields carefully for worms Of any kind.
All that are found should be placed
In tight box or mailing tube with
few cotton leaves for food and mailed
to the Entomologist, A. &
M. College, Mississippi. Full direc-
tions in regard to the control Of the
cotton worm may be obtained by writ
ing to the State Plant Board A. & M.
College, Mississippi.

round their suburbs, and make this
land feed them. Mr.. Babson sees in
the future a removal Of many indus-
tries, now centralized IN the cities, to
the country, where according to him
conditions would be more favorable.
Improved roads make this both pos
sible and probable.
In comparison with the smaller
European Nations, the roads Of the
United States are inferior. and IN
time Of war would be totally made
quate to transport from training cen
ters to border defenses in minimum
Of time, our army. This has been
realized by the Government, and
plans for national defense recently
formulated by the War Department
call for system Of highways built
under Federal standards, leading 10
all important border defense lines. If
present plans are carried out, and the
states continue to receive Federal co.
operation at the present rate, within
the near future the United States will
be equipped with system ofhighways
second to those Of no nation in the
world"
