Ground Hog on the Job

Last Friday old "Brer Ground
Hog stuck his nose out of the hole
in the ground where he had been
alternating all Winter and hardly
got it out good before he saw his
shadow and darted back.
And he played the mischief, too
just when we were congratulating
ourselves that it didn't make a darn
bit of difference if the Rhur coal
miners went on strike, or France
and Germany scrapped or what not
we were in magnificent isolation
from cold and storm, and from the
grasp of the coal barons.
Now, shivering in the icy blast
with coal at steen dollars a ton
and none to be had, our only re-
sourses is DR.. Coue-we can ex-
ercise our subconsciousness and be-
live that "every day IN every way
we are getting warmer and warm

Meanwhile, we've got it in for

A icky Business

A great howl is going up through
ont South Mississippi as a result OF
a recent order of the U. S. Depart
ment Of Agriculture which puts
a strict quarantine on the shipment
of cattle from this section OF the
state because of our failure to
eradicate the cattle tick. After
February fifteenth, it will be I'M
possible for the people OF Coving-
ton County and twenty other plney
woods counties to ship their cattle.
Between us and the outside world,
Uncle Sam has built a fence too
high to climb, too barbed to get
through, too strong to knock down.
We are to be left to reap the
harvest which we have sowed.
Thus the prediction of careful
students, thoughtful men, and honest
legislators is fulfilled. We were warn
ed at the last session Of the legis-
lature that any letting up in the
cattle dipping would soon react to
our hurt. But instead of putting
teeth in the dipping law and de-
claring that ticky cattle should be
condemned as nuisance when
found running at large, our legis-
lators needed the voice of the OPP
ponents of dipping, and let things
slide. Some counties Immediately
stopped dipping and others ed

thus tied the hands of the Boards

We have only ourselves to blame
for our present unfortunate stu
alton. Covington County is not free
of ticks and you and / as citizens
Of the county are primarily re-
spongible for it. Had the people Of
South Mississippi cooperated with one
another in this matter our state
would have long since been declared

where. The Ku Klux Klan nor any
other agency can bring any imme-
date relief,
Now the governor is being delug-
ed with messages asking him to
use whatever power he can to modi-
fy the quarantine.
In some instances the fault has
been with Boards of Supervisors.
But more often it has beeen the
failure of the citizen to cooperate,
which has led to trouble. Rev G. S.
Harmon, editor of the Free Press,
Poplarville, gathered the statistics
for Pearl River County in the sum-
mer of 1921 and our file of his
paper shows that that county spent
over sixty thousand dollars in an
unsuccessful attempt to eradicate
the ticks on COWS assessed at $50,
900. In short nearly as much was
spent in the county as the cows
were worth and due to the refusal
Of some people to dip, all the work
was nullified and the money lost.
Without assuming the role of a
jeremiah, it is nothing less than a
duty to state that the recent order
is just the beginning of our trou-
bles. The quarantine against South
Mississippi stock is going to hurt
the market for any Mississippi cat
tie The tick free counties of North
Mississippi are going to demand
that our entire state be tick free
so that the handicap may be remov-
ed. Officials state that the lack Of
fence laws is the chief difficulty
in making cattle owners dip. I'm
less therefore we insist that the
dipping laws be vigorously enforced
the rest of the state is going to put
through statewide stock law with
in the next ten years, and our peo-
pie will then find what real suffer
ing is.
You and l may not believe that
the tick can ever be eradicated.
Uncle Sam says differently and he
means business. We have either got
to dip every muley headed COW, and
bull yearling in the piney woods with
out further delay or else be severe
ly damaged by the quarantine, be
forced to fence by the tick free
counties and after all this trouble
and expense, be forced to dip them
all anyway. The governor may get
some temporary lerief. But the last
analysis we have got to choose be-
tween dipping the old COW of today
or the calf of the future.-Collins

Christian Education The
Need of the Hour

Dear Mr.. Editor
I read with much pleasure and
great profit an article on education
written by my good friend Judge
W. A. shipman. and published in
a recent issue of your paper.
We are living in an intensely
School Age. Education is magni-
fled as never before. but it is
seriously to be doubted as to
whether we are maintaining the
ideals of the early days. Our coun-
try was extremely fortunate in her
early history in having men OF
great brain and culture to set up
the standards for the nation and to
create ideals for the coming gene
rations. Our President IN his recent
message to educators calls sthe
American people back to- these Ole
ideals. The business OF this Nation
is the making of men and women
of real personal worth. Manhood
has a far greater instrinsic value
than any material thing, and this
is always the result Of proper train
ing. It is matter Of paramount
Importance that the schools. give
back to US from the raw material
furnished them a more perfect man
hood and woma nhood--a finished pro-
duct for the fulfillment Of the high
est destiny-and this can, only De
accomplished through Christian edu-
cation.
Matthew Arnold defines education
as "a familiarity with the best
that has ever been done or thought
or heard :" Even so. And the
purpose of it is for the develop
ment of the body, mind and spirit
for mans own enjoyment, the true
worship. of God and service render
ed our fellows. /
All this being true our greatest
efforts just now should De 70
Christianize Education; and this must
must begin with the public schools
The present system of education does
not include any definite plan for
the teaching of Christianity, outside
the Ten Commandments, and that
in most perfunctory way-when
at all. And it is generally con-
ceded that much in the text books,
not only of the Universities, but OF
the colleges and public schools, Is
anti Christian. Many false theories
are being propogated under cover
of science which, if persisted ln'
will eventually undermine Christi
anity. ..
Education may best be Christi
anized by Christian teachers IN our
schools. because unregeneratel men
and women are not qualltled 10
render the highest service as teach
ers. no matter what may be their
intellectual attachments. Schools 90
no 90 beyond their teachers. ANY
institution that undermlnes tne
faith in the Bible and in the Son
of God and that makes skeptlcs
and infidels of young people from
Christian homes is the greatest
menace s.e country could have.
We should learn the truth OF this
from the condition of the Old World
today, all the result Of Grass ma
terialism and skepticism taught mi
their schools.
The spirit of Democracy is fill
ing the earth with visions OF justice
and equity, but an un-Chrlstlanlz-
ed Democracy may become as cor
rupt and selfish as plutocracy.
World Democracy will improve
conditions only as it embraces the
spirit of Jesus Christ.
