BilbO Folks Hold
Rousing Rally in
Lexington Tuesday

Theodore G. Bilbo addressed the vot-
ers of Holmes county in the interests
OF his candidacy for governor Tuesday
afternoon, speaking before an audience
that more than filled the courthouse
auditorium and talking for almost three
hours. The crowd was cosmopolitan in
its makeup, including people from
Holmes and many of the nearby coun-
ties.
The former governor was IN rare form,
delivering one of those splendid and en-
tertaining addresses for which he is IA
nous, and causing many laugh at the
expense of his opponents. He devoted
full measure of his time to discus
son of his past association with two
of his present opponents, and made the
legislative record of Murphree the tar
get of attack throughout his speech.
Progressive measures of legislation,
in event of his election, were advocated
in the proposed state-owned printing
plant for publishing the school books,
state printing, and county record books;
the utilization of convict labor for the
in turn, would be sold to the counties
at cost; the establishment of refor
matory institution on the state farm
at Belmont, where the young and short
term convicts may be sent.
Mr.. Bilbo denied any written or
printed antagonism to the principle of
income tax, but promised, if elected
governor, to change the present law in
Il very thorough manner. The changes
i'll mind were not enumerated.
Bidwel Adam candidate for lieuten-
ant governor, and "buck private" in the
world war, spoke on his own merits
and asked for suffrage of the voters on
the basis of his education, training, ex-
perience and personal fitness. Many
expressed a favorable opinion of Mr.
Adam.
J. H. Fuqua acted as master of cere-
monies, introducing Mr.. Adam and Rev
Edgar G. Evans, who in turn, introduced
Mr.. Bilbo./

Full Term Favored by
Leading Candidates

The candidates for governor have
come out openly in favor of at least an
eight months school term for every
child. "This is to be commended" says
State Superintendent W. F. Bond, in his
weekly News Letter, "for Mississippi
cannot afford to lag behind her sister
states in this matter" Our city and
town schools have had eight and nine
months for years and now since the
people have built strong central consol-
idated high schools in the rural districts
they are entitled to more aid from the
state so as to guarantee school term
of not less than eight months. The
children of the rural districts are at
last coming into their own in an edu-
cational way. The governor, however,
cannot get very far unless the legisla-
ture is with him. 1t is to be hoped
that all candidates for the legislature
will express themselves definitely as to
whether or not they will favor suffi-
eient state appropriation to enable the
children of the rural districts to have
an eight months school term.

gress was thought to be satisfactory,
and Mr.. Pahlen returned to Lexington.

Tom Q. Ellis, Of Water Valley, and Mrs
Ellis; Mrs. Redhead, of the Columbus
Masonic Home, Mr.. an: Mrs. Hill, of
the Meridian Home; five girls from the
Meridian Home, and two boys from the
Columbus home.
The meeting was attended by an au-
dlence that taxed the capacity of the
large school auditorium, and the prog
ram was thoroughly enjoyed through
out. A roll call of those present showed
that fourteen Masonic lodges were rep
resented together with representatives
Of seven Eastern Star chapters, repre-
senting every Masonic organization in
Holmes county and many from adjoin-
ing counties.
DR.. H. l.. Martin opened the program
with invocation for Divine guidance, af-
ter which H. H. Johnson delivered the
welcome address. The party was then
introduced by P. H. Murphy, P. G. M,

the work of the Home in the regenera-
tlon of orphan boys and girls. Follow
ing reading by Roy Taylor, and ar
other song by the Meridian quartette,
Mrs. Redhead, of the Columbus home,
representing her husband, who was un-
avoidably detained, delivered a short
talk on the work in that Home that
was one of the most enlightening and
interesting features of the program.
The program was further enhanced
by readings by Aline Vitzthum and P oy
Talyor, talk on Life in the Columbus
Home by Clyde Grouse, and more songs
by the Meridian Home Quartette
The wonderful work being done by
these two Homes was clearly demon
strated through the talent and training
manifested by the boys and girls, and
it is said that more attractive program
has not been given in Lexington in re-
cent times. Applause followed every
number, and the youngsters were COM
PEELED time and again to respond to the
call for encores.

DiUorced Wife Rentdrries; Must

(Copyright. 1927
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Thomas Dawson, four years ago.
had been divorced and had been or
dered to pay his wife $50 weekly as
permanent alimony. He had complied
regularly and steadily with the order
Of the court.
He heard with delight now that his
divorced wife was remarked. and
hastened to arrange with her for the
dismissal of the courts order for ali
mony. To his dismay, she refused
and insisted on getting her weekly
allotment, although her second nus
band was able to support her ade.
quately.
Feeling that he had just griev.
ance, Dawson filed petition in court
asking to be relieved from making
further payments to his former wife.
The court granted the husband s
| petition, briefly reviewing the law as
| follows:
Courts have the right to rescind
or modify their orders for proper
cause. The remarriage of divorced
wife is a good cause for suspending
the order for alimony. In most
| States, such as Illinois, Arkansas,
Ohio and New York, this rule is fol-
| lowed However, in California and
Massachusetts (and formerly New
York;, the alimony will be continued
if the second husband cannot support
the wife adequately; in New Jersey a
recent case stated that alimony will
| be continued IL the second husband Is
unable to support his wife in the sta
| ton in life of the man whom she
| divorced"

Ham in Casserole.

Place the ham in a good-sized bak.
ing dish. Add thinly sliced raw pota-
toes which have been sprinkled light
ly with flours Pour over them
enough milk to cover. Bake slowly
for about an hour and a half, or until
the potatoes. and ham are thoroughly
cooked. Cover the baking dish for
the first hour of the cooking. The
salt and fat of the ham are sufficient
to season the potatoes. If necessary,
add little hot milk from time to
time during the cooking. There should
be enough liquid to form a tasty
gravy around the ham and potatoes.
Serve the ham and potatoes from the
baking dish. If the ham is very salty,
soak 1t. preferably in buttermiIk or
sour milk, before cooking it with the
potatoes. The acid of sour milk
seems to soften the ham and make
it very tender when cooked.

After choosing one of the rougeS
made by a reliable manufacturer,
milady must next choose a color.
There are about il shades Of rouge
to choose from. but there may be
only one TO match your complexion.
OF course, a mistake in selection
may be easily corrected next time.
Often rouge must be worn before one
can choose between yermilion, coral,
pink. carmine. brick and so forth. As
most blond women know. blonds are
characterized as pink and white. Yet
the average blond has a great deal
of yellow in her coloring. She must,
therefore. choose a rouge that will
enhance her creamy coloring.

Peter Rabbit Intrudes.
Be careful that you're not so rude
As Ger on others 90 intruds.
Mother West Wind.

Peter Rabbit couldn't get over his
meeting with Skink the Lizard and
his discovery that he had met Skink
iaonce before. when Stink didn't leok
in the least as he now looked. When
he was young Skink had a bright blue
tail and a black coat with five Yellow
stripes on it. Now he was all brown,
with a red head. He didn't look at
all as if he could be related to his
former self.
Having learned so much about
| Skink. Peter wanted TO know more.
| so he was forever asking his friends if
they had seen Skink the Lizard Gen
orally he found that they had not, or,
if they had. they couldn't tell him
where Skink was.
IT never did see such a fellow for
keeping out of sight" exclaimed
Peter. ''No, sir. never did Now you
| see him and now you don't
And this was true. No one can get
| into hiding more quickly than can
| Skink the Lizard.
| Peter discovered that Skink is very
| fond of sunshine. At the same time
/ he usually is within a Jump or so OF
a hiding place that he knows all
about At the least little movement
| he viii dart out of sight. This was
| one reason why Peter was having so
much difficulty in finding Skink.
Skink wouldn't wait to find out who
| was coming. So, finally, Peter hit on
| a plan. He saw Skink disappear
and then Peter sat down and himself
| took a sun bath. He didn't move, but
you may be sure he didn't miss any
| thing around him. He just used his
| eyes for all they were worth.
| 1t was a long time before he saw
anything Of Skink. Then he saw that
red head OF Skink's peeping out from
| under piece of bark. Peter opened
| his mouth to speak. but in doing so he
moved his head a little and instantly
| Skink disappeared. Peter waited and
waited. but he didn't get another
| glimpse of Skink. Finally he went
over TO that piece of bark and turned
| it over, which was, of course, very
! rude thing to do, considering that he
| had seen Skink run under it to hide
| But when he turned it over he didn't
| find Skink there. Skink had somehow
crept from there under some other
material and disappeared. But this
| experience gave Peter an idea.
Il know what I'll do" cried Peter
