knees bent, and his voice weak and
wavery.

various sections of the city, is the aim
of the neighborhood prayer meeting
group which met Wednesday with
Miss Florence Kinney in the taber-
nacle Immediately following the after
noon sermon of Mr.. Sunday.
"The task of the leaders is not al
ways easy" declared Miss Kinney,
"but it is one of the most important
parts of the whole campaign.
"Souls can be saved and individ-
uals converted in those neighborhood
meetings, just as we'll as at the big
tabernacle meetings."
Ten Sections Arranged
The whole city is divided into ten
sections, each Of which is under a
superintendent, who is responsible to
Miss Kinney or to Rev. A. H. Backus,
who is chairman of the prayer meet
ing committee and is the clearing
house for all information relating to
the meetings.

SECOND BARN BURNS
WITHIN 4 MONTHS
Fire Believed to Have Been
Work of Incendiary =
Contents Valuable.

The big new barn of Mr.. Rupert
Storm, situated about four and one
half miles from Brookhaven on the
place settled by Charles Brietske,
former resident, was burned to the
ground Sunday night at about elev-
en- O'Clock.
This is the second time within four
months Storm has lost his barn. The
first time was last June when the
building had just been filled with
oats; this time there had just been
stored away ten tons of lespedeza
hay, corn and a ton of cotton seed
meal.
AS soon as possible a message was
sent for Gant's bloodhounds which
trailed horse and buggy for quite
a distance and then seemed. to lose
the scent.
A neighbor named Ward and his
daughter have been cited to appear
in Justices court here today. Wards
son, who is a cripple is said to have
been in Hattiesburg at the time Of
the fire.
Neighbors are hauling lumber to
the site of the barn and expect to
erect another for the victim of the
fire. He is son of Mr.. John L.
Storm Of Brookhaven.

Breakfast in Bed.

When the Senior Glass of Whit
worth College promised $500 to-
ward the expenses of the Commun-
ity Meeting, some Of their conserva-
tive friends felt that the seniors
were reckless. but a financial genius,
an expert psychologist among them,
solved the problem Of financing their
generous pledge.
A luxury virtually unknown in
the college is breakfast in bed" and
the seniors advertised that they
would supply breakfast de luxe, de-
livered at the bedside of their fell
low students for-well-l than
you'd pay on the Pullman.
By means of diligent shopping,
borrowing a stove from Miss Adams,
the teacher Of domestic science, dish
es from Miss Williams, of the dining
room, and rising at five o'clock on a
chilly morning to "cook breakfast"
in the Y Hut basement, the thirteen
seniors resident in the dormitories
prepared delicious breakfasts of
grapefruit or oranges, bacon, eggs,
toast, and coffee or hot chocolate.
and served them to seyenty-six stu
dents and teachers.
The enterprise proved so popular
that the seniors themselves didn't
have time to partake Of any break
fast whatever and had to fast until
lunch time, but they were in good
spirits because with the exception Of
some such trifling sum as a dollar
and eighty five cents, all of the TWEEN
ty-five dollars pledged is in sight.

Halls Destroyed and
Masons Threatened

Washington, Oct. 26. - Promi-
nent members of the Masonic Order
in Congress are shocked. at reports
reaching this country from Ireland
of wanton and purposeless attacks
on members Of the Masonic Order,
and the destruction of the property
of fraternity which never takes
any part in politics.
According to reports many Mason
ic halls have been wantonly destroy
ed in Ireland by those who choose
to read religious intolerance into
the political troubles of that sore
distressed country. The Masonic
Hall at Ballinamore has been de-
stroyed. In Mulligar the Masonic
Hall was raided, its windows brok-
en-, it's furniture hacked with axes,
after which oil was poured over the
wreckage, and the whole burned. In
Dundalk, not far from the Ulster
frontier, three Masonic lodges met
in hall which was raided by armed
men, who seized books and other
property. Shortly after, members of
the order, whose names were obtain
ed from the seized records, were or
dered to leave on pain of death.
Many of them escaped to Belfast;
the meetings of all three lodges have
been indefinitely suspended. Moles-
worth Street Hall, Dublin, the meet
ing place of the Grand Lodge, and
headquarters of the order in Ire
land, has been occupied by the Irish
Republic Army, which thus came
in possession of the names of all
Free Masons in Ireland Shortly
after this seizure the County Cork
murders occurred.
Mr.. Robert Mcbride, Member of
Parliament, says of these attacks:-
''The fact is that men in power in
the south and west of Ireland have
broken with all religion, retaining
only it's preiudices and antipathies.
1t is the spirit of the French Revolu-
tion or of Bolshevist Russia that is
abroad"

saddest of the year to Mrs., Bennett,
for 1t was one year when the leaves

then later, one by one, two sisters,

time; but, like them, to bloom again

Bennett and we hope the loving
thought of Brookhaven friends will
cheer Mrs. Bennett throughout ''the
melancholy days" that remind her
always of the faces turned away from
the things of mortality and beyond
the reach of yearning. loving hands.
Mrs. Bennett came in or "Cireus

Baptists Have Seven Days to Meet
Obligations.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. "a. - DR.. R.
B. Gunter, corresponding secretary
of the Mississippi Baptist convention
board, has issued an appeal to the
Baptists of the state to pay what is
due on the $75,0O0.000 campaign.
He says
''Since November 1, 1921, to the
present date our office has received
only $343,054.32. The quota of
Mississippi for year ending October
81 is 100000, leaving $356,945.-
So to be raised during the remaining
seven days of the fiscal year.
While our board has met all OBJ
legations to date without borrowing
any money, our treasury is now emp
ty. My appeal is to the loyal Bap-
lists of Mississippi to pay every dol
lar possible now, and get the money
to me by the end of this month.

Chicago Educator Speaks Out.

Several hundred delegates attend
ed the 18th annual convention of
the National League of Compulsory
Education Officials at Memphis. Mr..
Bodine, Superintendent of Chicago
spoke.
Following are some of the perti-
nent facts that developed
THE public school is the humani
tartan as we'll as the academic fac
tor in our national life," Mr.. Bodine
declared. "God could not allow all
his angels to leave heaven. That is
why He put teachers on earth to
care for children. And that is why
so many teachers are women.
II believe in teaching the house

bad cook can spoil good man.
Many good lockers are poor cook

"A woman nowadays can vote; she
can fill the vocations of man, she
can do everything man can except
desert her children. Wife desertion
is one of the chief causes Of tru-
ancy
There was a time when Tothers
raised their girls. In these days of
the defiant, incorrigible 'fapper'

THE Juvenile court is merely
clearing house for fathers failures
and mothers mistakes. Most fathers
put all the education of family
in the wife's name. There is too
much science in child welfare work
What children need is simply more
old-fashioned spankings."
Mr.. Bodine in closing his address
urged parents to realize their re-
sponsibility toward their children
with the utmost seriousness.

Mississippi Amateur Field Trial
Association.

Interest in the First Mississippi
Amateur Field Trial Club to be held
at D'Lo, Miss, Dec. IL, IL and 13 is
growing very rapidly and from all
indications we are going to have a
big trial. Entry blanks are now rea-
dy and may be obtained upon appli-
cation to the secretary.
From present indications there will
be large entry of high=class dogs.
The inauguration of our club will be
great thing for the people of this
state who are fond of high-class bird
dogs and it is to their interest that
they join us and be on hand with
their dogs.
The necessary requirements to
join our club is pay the regular in
itiation fee of five dollars; resident
of this state; dog registered and not
have won any prize in a profession
al contest.
1t should be of interest to know
that all handlers and dogs will have
an equal chance as each must be
an amateur; therefore a large en-
try is expected from among the
handlers who have never attended
field trial.
There will be held puppy derby
and all-age stake and the prize in
each stake will be beautiful loving
cup now on display at Adkins &
Bauer's Hardware Store in Jackson
plus entry money less ten per cent
divided fifty, thirty and twenty per-
cent to the winners.
AS previously announced our
judges will be Mr.. John C. Grant,
and Major White of Alabama who
are both well known the country ov-
er.
There will be plenty of horses on
hand, dinner served on the field and
accommodation for all who attend.
1t is of interest to know that DIG
is in the center of the state thirty
miles below Jackson and sixty-1ve
above Hattiesburg accessible by the
G.. & S. /. railroad. From our loca-
tion a large majority will be able
to go home at the end Of each day
being able to return in time for the
trials the following morning.
AS a post entrance of five dollars
will be charged after December Isl
the secretary certainly would appre-
ciate it If all who expect to enter
dogs would do so as soon as possible
The entrance for puppy Is five dol
lars and for derby and all age, ten
dollars. Puppy whelped on or after
