Family Reunion

Very unique and enjoyable
was the family house party
which took place last week at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. G..
Williams at Buena Vista in
honor Mrs. Williams only
brother, Mr.. W. K Baskin, Of
Jackson. Her sister, Mrs. N.
w. Bradford, of Houston, was
also present and the other
guests were Mr.. and Mrs. Will
hams daughter, Mrs. W. r..
Hays, Of Tchula, their son-in-
law and daughter, Rev. and Mrs.
]. T. Lockhart with their two
lovely little girls of Itta Bena.
During the week, the party
made several brief visits to
relatives in Okolona. On Thurs
day the entire party motored to
Pontotoc, their former home.
Mr.. Baskin, Mrs. Williams and
Mrs. Bradford are the son and
daughters of the late Col. and
Mrs. 10 Berry Baskin, who,
soon after the Civil War, came
from Buena Vista to Okolona
and later moved to Pontotoc.
With them at that time was
their niece, Miss Laura Nc
Farland, who is now with her
brother, Judge Baxter McFar-
land, of Abeeden. Her absence
on this recent occasion was all
that prevented its being a com.
plete family reunion.

Are the people in your community,
as a general thing, genuinely interested
In public affairs? Or are they so alb
sorbed in their own concerns that they
give little thought to civic problems
and issues? Is their prevailing spirit
one of hearty neighborliness? Do they
cooperate to maintain a pleasant COM
munity life?
Are they free from the snobbishness
of wealth? Are they tolerant in re-
gard to religious questions? Do they
frown upon petty gossip and al scan
dalmongering?
Have they proper pride in the
appearance Of their homes and streets
so that the nelghborhood maintains
an attractive Appearance Or is their
attitude in regard to. this-ns in re-
gard to compliance with .publlc-health
regulations-one of Indifference?
These are questions Of more than
academic interest to you. They bear
directly on your welfare, and in cspe-
cinl on the future well-being Of your
children.
IT. goes without saying that you
wish to see those children grow 10 be
efficient and worthy men and women.
Do not forget that the kind Of com
munity in which they are reared Is
bound to play part in determining
the kind of men and women they shall
be.
DO not think that if the life of your
community is an inferior life your
children will be unaffected by it. They
are certain to absorb something of Its
spirit to their lasting. hurt. Whereas,
If II is a superior life the benefit to
them will be equally lasting.
Now ask yourself whether, as a
member of the community, you are
helping to raise or to lower commu-
nifty standards. Put to yourself re-

mothers in keeping the home
live of their children glad and
happy. By permission Of the
society, Mrs. Cunningham gave
some "reminiscences Of her own
early life, in which each little
member of a large family had
his or her duty to perform.
The decision of the society
was frmness was quite
necessary in the government Of
children, but, while they should
be restrained from some outside
diversions, they should be well
provided with innocent amuse-
ment and entertainment.
At the close Of the discussion,

Isn't
This
Worth
Thinking
About

Twenty years ago Advertising was prac-
tcally unknown: today it is an outstanding
commercial success. You will observe that
person invariably goes in a store determined to
MAKE light purchase, yet the amount will be
doubled what it was the intention to spend
The secret of this lies in effective display;
everything for sale in open view, attractively
shown, where it can be seen by every body and
advertised, result increased profits.
It would be just as logical for cafeteria
owner to hide bis choicest offerings in the rear
Of his establishment or under the counter, as it
is for a merchant to not make display Of his
merchandise and Advertising.
The Chicago Tribune has coined the slogan
The More You Tell, The More You SELF.

You Advertise The More They Buy.

We arrived at lie Harve May 10,
On Sunday, the 18th, / went to Rouen,

Joan of Arc was burned May 30,

my arrival there that the day / had
chosen for my excursion was the

Crowds Of people gathered in the
market place in the afternoon, and
the stone marking the spot where
the stake stood was covered with
flowers.

following day. | have had eight days

In Westminster Abbey is the grave
of Britain's unknown soldier. Some
of the famous men, whose tombs !
saw were Livingston, Gladstone,

nation chair, underneath the seat of
which is the "Stones Score" brought

MUCH PROGRESS IN ROAD
BUILDING is EXPECTED

From the progress being made in
federal aid work. the states are ex-
erting every effort to make the pres
ent season big one for road con-
struction, according to the Bureau of
Public Roads, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. In February
$3,906,000 was allotted, and in March
the figure jumped to $12,029,0O0.
In April plans for 225 projects were
approved by the bureau, the second
largest number in the history of fed
eral aid, and indications are that the
number for May will be even larger.
In the past the peak in values in
plans approved came in June and
July. The earlier occurrence this year
shows that the states are making
good their promise to get as much
work under construction as possible
to take advantage Of lower prices and
relieve the unemployment situation.
A considerable portion of the projects
for which the plans are approved
should get under construction during
the summer and add greatly to the
1880 miles under construction
March 81.
On this date the number of COM
pleted projects on which final pay
ment had been made passed the 1000
mark, involving 11,017 miles. 1t will
be interesting to watch the growth of
these figures during the 1922 season.

sEAsoNABLE SUGGESTIONS

Precipitation, the kind caused BY
exercise. is natures first aid to the
kidneys.
In playing any game with the chill
dren, insist that the rules be learned
and that they be adherded to.
For tie bite of an insect, diluted
ammonia or sailed water will give re-
lief, but iodine is better if it is within
reach.
II tomatoes. stuffed peppers Or
onions are baked in muffin tins they
will keep their shape better than II
baked on flat pan.
Wide skirt betting, which has been
washed to remove the stiffness, is
said to be good for binding the frayed
ends of grass rugs.
For luncheon sets of unbleached
muslin, it is best to shrink the muslin
before making. If bingham is used
for the edges, it should be shrunk.
1t is not economy to spend time on
dyeing material which will not give
good service when done. Examine
the fabric carefully before beginning.
1t lisa good idea to tack a piece Of
the new wall paper up in the attic.
Then. in case of need. one has a patch
faded to match that on the walls.
About three-fourth Of an egg is
water If you expect your hens to
lay, keep plenty of pure, clean water
before them at all times. Do not ex-
pect them to drink from the pond and
the hog wallow.
An ordinary three-arm towel rack
screwed to the right-hand end of the
sewing machine will be found handy
to keep small pieces of work close at
hand and prevent them from falling
behind the machine.
A new ice cream is known as Ma
butt and is made by adding two beaten
eggs, one peach and one banana put
through sieve, three tablespoons
brown sugar and one tablespoon va
nilla to one pint thick cream and
freezing. Either fresh or canned
peach may be used.
incubation gives absolute insurance
against typhoid for two or three years
or longer. Why not go at once to the
doctor and be inoculated, thereby max
ing sure that you will not have this
disease this summer? The treatment
is neither dangerous nor expensive

The bishop is one Of the outstanding
figures of the nation in both religious
and educational work.
DR.. John R. Nelson. presiding elder
Of the Memphis district, was in CON
