AS you have been reminded on
many occasions, there are skeletons
In bathrooms now instead of Closets"
and you know these skeletons are
most useful. For sponge is the
framework left behind by the animal
that constructed it during its life
time.
When the sponge is alive and in
its natural state, it is far different
looking object from the one that
finally reaches the purchaser.
Alive, the whole surface is covered
with a transparent, Shiny skin of
dark color This is fairly peppered
with holes which are the openings
in a way to the canals. The organic
layer of the sponge is a jelly-like
substance that is very soft and made
up of three layers. The outside one
is called the ectoderm, the middle
one the mesoderm and the internal
one the endoderm. The outside layer
is made up of fiat cells, the inside
one has cylindrical cells, and each
one possesses a f1agellate hair. The
principal part of the body, which
is really the middle, Is composed
of cells that have various functions
to perform for the welfare Of the
sponge. Some of them take care of
the framework, which is the skele-
ton we use; some digest the food
and others are engaged in repro
duction.
There are some very intricate
tasks that are carried on by this
strange animal known as the sponge,
and though the shape differs greatly,

RES

Norths bidding on this hand is
worthy OF note. After successfully
bidding diamonds and spades he
then made the cue-bid of four
hearts, which paved the way for
Souths slam bid. However, South's
dummy play was not equal to the
occasion.
West opened the king of hearts
and, after winning with dummy's
ace, declarer drew three rounds of
trumps. 1t appeared to South that
everything depended upon the loca-
ton Of the spade queen, so he
finessed the jack. East won with
the queen and the heart trick that
followed set the contract.
South did not make use of his
opportunities, for the spade flnesse
should have been reserved as a last
resort. After winning the first trick
he should have played diamond to
his ace, then two rounds Of trumps,
landing in dummy. Next declarer
should have ruffed diamond and
then drawn Vests remaining trump.
BY this time both the king and
queen Of diamonds would have
fallen, SO South could lead a spade
to dummy, 60 up with the ace, then
play the diamond 10 through East
If East covered, dummys nine of
diamonds would become established
for a discard. If not, South would
simply throw his heart. The moral
is simple: Always postpone finesse
until you have exhausted every
other possibility.

Holmes Landowners To
Vote On Conservation
Project For County
Meetings To Be Held
To Explain Progom
To Landowners

The State Committee has set Sat
urday, October 7th, for a final vote
on whether or not Holmes County
be accepted as a Soil Conservation
Area. In order that the landowners
of the county may have the assist
ance of the Government in estav-
fishing a soil saving or drainage pro-
gram on their farms, a majority Of
the owners of land who vote must
vote in favor Of the district.
If the county 10 made a district
there will not be a special tax to
defray the expenses, as the United
States Department of Agriculture viii
furnish the men necessary to conduct
the work.
by making tho county into a dis
trict, any landowner may use the
services OF these men without cost
to them. The Government men will
lay out and supervise a soil consee-
walton or drainage program for any
landowner when he asks for the SER
vice. When the program for the
farm is worked out the landowner
will then furnish the necessary pow
er and labor to put the program in
to operation on the land. The &C.
tual cost to any landowner will be
the amount he cares to spend.
There ia 20 compulsion in this as
the fal is the sole judge. The
district, when organized, merely makes
it possible for any landowner to
the services of these men with
out cost.
In order to discuss this with the
meetings will be held at
at the following places where a free
picture show will be given for whites
only. Ballots and a box will be evail-
able at the meeting and you may
cast your vote at that time if you
care to.

State Feshmen Overpower
Holmes Bulldog Eleven
BY William Cathey

The Holmes Junior College Bull
dogs were unaole to develop a con-
cetted oiiense against the Mississippi
State Freshman football eleven last
Friday on he ~Starkville gridiron, and
Coach Watkins Fatheree's Baby Ma
rooms galloped away with a 20 to 0
decision in the opening clash of the
1889 campaign for Coach Ras Branch's
Bulldogs.
The Goodman lads, paced by Nc
Cafferty, launched an impressive aer-
ial attack and several times advanced
dangerously near their opponents
goal line, but each time the lack of
a polished running game hindered
possible touchdowns.
1t was the brilliant performance of
John 'Blondy' Black, 1875 pounds of
ripping, tearing and dynamic charg-
ing youth from Philadelphia, that
spanked the Yearlings to their tri-
umph. The Neshoba County lad once
broke through the entire Goodman
forewall on a 50-yard dash from fake
pass formation for a tally and all
afternoon kept the Holmes aggrega-
ton uneasy with his ~pile-driving
jaunts. On one occasion he fired q
70-yard punt at the B~ranchmen.
The Bullpups registered in the op-
ening quarter with Claiborne Bishop
crossing the stripe from the 5. In
the second period Harold Bliss went
nine yards for a counter. Blacks
touchdown came in the second char
ter.
The State frosh completely out,
classed the Goodman squad.
Breaking loose late in the first
quarter, the Starkville outfit scored
when Billy Murphy Tipped a 4o-yard
pass to Cotton Davis on Goodman's
S and then Bishop tailed standing
up on a reverse.
Taking advantage of a recovered
tumble on heir own AZ, State staged
a 5S-yeard drive with Black doing
most of the ball carrying, climaxed
as as Bliss raced II yards for the
marker. Black coverted.
