LECTURE AT THE METHODIST CHURCH
Mrs SidOnie M. Gutenberg on Changing Conditions
 in Care of Children
HOW TO MEET THEM

Mrs Sidonie M. Gruenberg, di-
 rector of the Child Study asso- citation of America. in her address.
 Growing Up" at the First Metho- dist church last night. told the
 Parent Teacher association that
 parents cannot tell their chilren
 today that one thing is bad and an-
 other is good as in years gone by.
 Yesteryears parents were in ac-
 cord as to what was right and
 vice versa and each individual
 mother or father could lay down the law with the whole commu- ity vouching for 1t. Today some parents have different ideas as to that which constitutes right and wrong and the child is aware of it through contact with other chill dren of the neighborhood. The parent, under such conditions, has to tell the child when an action or thing is good or bad.
 Changing conditions have made the position more difficult than in past years, for today families are smaller and there Is enough doing in the homes today to-, keep all members of the household busy. The process of growing up is not 8 new one, concluded the speaker,
 but changing conditions have
 brought 1t into view.

The Mississippi House passed the
compromise two per cent sales tax
Tuesday by a vote of 80 to 81, the
margin of victory being won by one
vote. The session was one that marked

from defeat and subsequent discard as
source of revenue for balancing the
states budget of twenty million dol
lars, when he changed his vote from his
first orposal to an approval. The bill
which was announced by Speaker Bailey
as passed will probably be sent to Gov
ernor Conner for signature Immediately
| Opponents of the bill will continue
| to oppose the measure and they will
start with questioning the constitutions
ality ,of the revenue act. The bill how
ever contains a clause prohibiting issu
| of ~, ~ bf
collection of the tax.
H m es county's representatives
Sharpe, Tucker and Williams, were in
the list of 50 who voted against the two
per cent sales tax.
1t was stated by the leaders of the
sales tax that the states institutions

monwealth before.

tax commission. When signed by the

Alarming Condition;
Vaccinations Done

An outbreak of hog cholera that has
reached alarming proportions is report
ed by County Agent T. M. Williams, who
has been kept busy for the past week ad-
ministering serum to prevent furtner
spread. The areas affected are those
in Holmes county where the flood waters
have been and following receding of the
overflows.
Over 1000 vaccinations have been
made, and in some locations the loss has
been great. Hogs found sick were soon
victims of the diesase and the planters
have ordered serum rushed in to prevent
losses in their remaining animals. The
county agent has been called as far
north in the delta area as Cruger, and
has gone beyond the limits on the south
ern end. Other areas in the hill sec
tions include Pickens, Coxburg and
Acona the agent stated.
Reports are made that the cholera out
break is to be found from one end of
the state to the other where the flood
waters have been for the past few
months. This generally follows high
water it is stated, even to affecting the
poultry.
The situation is pretty we'll in hand
in Holmes county, it is said, and suffi-
cient supplies of the serum held in readi-
ness to take care of all demands that
might arise Hog cholera has been
found in the hills in scattered locations
| for several months, but the high water
| territory has developed rapidly follow
| ing recession of the overflows in the
the past few weeks, and has kept the
extension force working daily to serve
the calls of planters who have made the
discoveries of cholera in their droves.
The cost of administering the serum
reaches around thirty-three cents an
animal, it is learned. One delta planter
had serum administered to 100 hogs, one
of the largest taken care of in the past
week.
