Keeping Cars Temperature.

1t Is desirable during the transit of
fruit In a refrigerator car to know
the precise temperature In different
parts of the car, FOR this temperature
is seldom the same throughout the
interior Of the car. For this purpose
the Department of Agriculture has
now In use an instrument which is de-
scribed In Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. 1t has twelve resistance Their
mometers for recording the tempera-
ture at twelve different parts of the
car. The instruments are connected
by q cable to twelve-point plug
that fits socket on the recording
box, SO that circuit can be estab-
lished with any Of the twelve Their
mometers. The exact temperature Is
shown on register In one corner of
the box and chart shows the location
Of each Thermometer.

Aggie Courses Popular.

liams of the bureau of vocational ed
ueation is authority for the state
ment that there has never been a
greater demand for the establishment
of departments of vocational agricul-
ture in the schools Of Mississippi
than at the present time
Preference is given the rural con-
-solidated school in the placing of
these departments about 20 new ones
will be added this year.
A feature of vocational agriculture
instituted in connection with. this
work only one year, ago and which
is growing in popularity, Is the plan
of short unit courses for adult farm
ers, through which they or young
men in school who have farm prob

during the dull season and given
regular organized instruction in the
solution of these problems. The
classes usually last for two or three

feeding dairy cows, soil improvement
and fertilizers, having been taught
in the courses during the past year.
This work is followed up by the
teacher of agriculture just as it is
with boys in the day school, and the
popularity and need of the work in
the state has been demonstrated by
the excellent attendance and the type
of persons enrolled. Enrolment for
the past year has included farmers
from 1S to 65 years of age, farm
ers of 65 having attended regularly
during the past year.
A part of the time of one super
visor will be devoted to this particu-
lar feature Of vocational agriculture
and indications are that it will COM
.nand as much attention in a few
years as the work in day schools.

ANNUAL STRIKE COSTS.

Strikes in 1921 cost labor $780,
100000 in wages, according to esti-
mates made by the National Indus
trial Conference board. They cost
capital 60,165 days of production or
service, which is about 200 years of
one mans work. They also cost cap
ital the loss of the purchasing pow
er of wage earners to the extent of
the loss of wages. No figure is CIV
en- of the loss to the general public,
but 1t must have been considerable
even though impossible toeestimate.
This years strike bill is going to
be still heavier. And to what pur-
pose? The outcome, time and again,
is only the temporary settlement of a
single issue, while the fundamental
problems remain untouched sources
of future industrial wars.
There will continue to be strikes
until labor is persuaded that there is
a surer, better way to obtain justice.
The fact that justice does not follow
in the wake of strike is not enough
to cause it's abolition. Democracy
fails in one of it's most important du-
ties when it is unable intelligently
to handle it's industrial problems.
Mutual agreement, mutual fairness
and confidence between labor and
capital are essential first.-Hatties-

LADIES AND THE TARIFF.

We sincerely wish that there
might be driven home to the compre-
hension Of that mass of our new vo4
ters, the ladies, what the Republic
can party has been concocting in its
lace schedule Of the proposed tariff.
We do not have in mind any du-
ties that may be levied on socalled
real laces of the rare and necessarily
expensive sort which, as luxury
among Injuries. can never be enjoy
ed save by the very rich. That such
articles should bear full share in
paying our governmental expenses
is not more than rights But unfor-
tunately those are not the laces that
are being struck by the Republican
statesmen. A glance at women's at
tire. glimpse into any store cater
ing to feminine dress needs, will
show us instantly the astounding a.
mount and variety of lace and em-
broidery trimmings that are-in ev-
ery-day use, not as luxuries, but as
absolute necessities for the peace of
mind of the feminine sex. Some
where on the simplest as upon the
most elaborate of costumes, there is
the touch of trimming that under
the more general names 1aces and
embroideries are known to all wo-
men as flouncings, veilings, all-overs,
neck rulings. Outings, Quillings,
tuckings. galloons, edgipgs, trim
mingsr fringes. guimps, ornaments.
braids, etc. Feminine fashion no
more can escape the use Of such ar
ticles in some of their infinity of
forms than mankind can escape the
use of grain. flesh and legume in his
daily diet.
But what has the Republican tar
iff committee done? Simply this-it
has separated these articles into two
groups and has saddled one with a
80 per cent, the other with rs per
cent ad valorem duty. In other
words, at one fell swoop the tariff
builders have almost doubled the
cost of these feminine necessities. By
far the greater number fall into the
90 per cent category, those of lesser
duty being such somewhat less usu-
al trimmings described as filaments,
tinsel wire, lace, bullions, metal
threads, beads, bugles, spangles, ma
terials tamborined, appliqued, seal
loped, monogrammed, drawn, etch-
ed, cut, etc.
The estensible' purpose of such an
abominable tariff rate on all those
articles especially dear to the fem
mime heart is the threadbare excuse
of building up our domestic manu-
features. In actual fact it means
that in order to favor limited num-
ber of American factories producing
few such ornaments, a prohibitive
tariff all-competing articles is to
be established and the womanhood Of
the nation is to be mulcted to allow
the Republican party to make poll
'tical payment to a few manufactur-
ing stalwarts who have come
across" nobly for the party's-and
for their benefit -Times-Pic-
ayune.
