NINE TIMES OUT OF TEE,
the women are the money-savers
of the family. Men mean well
enough. They Know the value
of having money in the bank,
but they haven't the knack of
saving. They haven't learned
the trick of making one dollar do
the work of two in buying, and
of laying the other dollar away
for the rainy day that may come.

We desire to encourage these
thrifty women, and this is our urgent
invitation to those who may desire
to open a bank account. Our officers tl

INDUSTRIAL WOM
IN NECROSCHOOLS
Agents Report Shows Commendable
Campaign Being Carried Out In
Jackson County.
Editor of Independent:
I hope it will interest the citizens
of the county voters, white and col
ored, to know of the work that is be
ing done in the colored rural schools.
It is very gratifying to note the inter
est shown in each school by boys and
girls, also parents:
During the month of February, I
visited every school in session, giv
ing industrial lessons to boys and
girls, also many parents. The moth
ers and girls of the Tuckerman school
have shown gyeat interest in learning
knitting. Due to the fact that the
white women of Tuckerman have or
ganized the Red Cross among the col
ored women. They were only waiting
for the material to come, and they
will begin knitting for the soldiers
They seem very willing to do their
part in helping make our soldiers
more comfortable. Some of the mo
thers met me at night in order tc
learn knitting. It is also very pleas
ing to note the interest among some
of the teachers, in helping to com
plete work to be taken to the State
Teachers’ Association at Little Rock,
for exhibit. Miss Susie Robinson’s
school at Irwin will present some good
work, as will Mrs. Mamie Ridley’s
school at Tuckerman. I hope that
other teachers will show the same in
terest.
The time for making gardens is
now at hand. I have beg-un orginiz
ing agricultural clubs among boys
and girls, also home makers clubs
among the mothers. The object of
these clubs is to teach the boys and
girls the fundamental principals in
agriculture, best principals in garden
ing, poultry raising, home science
and home makjng. I hope that ev
ery farmer and home-maker will, act
their part in producing their own
food this year. The home makers
are urged to grow a sufficient supply
of vegetables for home 'use through
out the year; and for canning and
drying. As Americans have been
asked to increase their food produc
- ---■ ' *
tion this year, I feel sure that every
I Jackson county farmer will do his
! part. There will be several meetings
1 held at different schools in which a
1 special agriculturist will speak to the
farmers. The farmers are urged to
•lay aside all other business to be
present at these meetings when an
nounced.
Though this industrial work in the
'Colored rural schools of this county
is new, it must compare with other
counties that are old in the work.
Hence we ask the co-operation of
citizens, parents and teachers in help
ing to make the industrial work of
Jackson county succeed.

Industrial Agent for Colored Rural
Schools.
