Optimistic Reports Are Sent
Out By the Russians
Over the Results.
BRITISH ATTACK FAILS
Raid Of English Aeroplones

LONDON. July Especial corre-
spondence in Petrograd telegraphed
optimistic predictions concerning
coming Russian campaign for the de-
tense Of Warsaw which frms the cen
ter OF a vast circle OF 100 miles of
strong fortifications.
Even the fall Of the fortress OF Ivan
gorod. according to this correspon-
dence. would not mean the loss OF the
Polish capital.
Fighting. described as desperate in
official Petrograd reports, is raging
between the Vistula and Bug rivers
along the base OF triangle of which
Warsay forms the apex. The country
there is Earshy and il is predicted IN
London that because Of the character
Of the Terrain this campaign will be
constant drain on German resources
until even victory will be almost as
costly as defeat.
The German thrust against the
French positions to the west of the
Moselle apparently has not extended
beyond the infantry attack which re-
gained the trenches previously lost by
the Germans, but preparations prob
ably are under way for the further ad.

TRAINED AGRICUlTURlSTS
10 Speak to the Farmers of Grenada
County On Improved Methods
of Farming. Etc.

Grenada county is to have an agri
cultural revival, or perhaps it would be
better stated to say an awakening.
Editorial reference was made last week
to the work being done and proposed
to be done by the Business Mems Club
of Memphis in the way of furnishing
trained agriculturists to discuss with
the farmers of Grenada county crop
diversifcation and intensified farming.
The Sentinel urged that this county
arrange to have these trained men to
come here and is pleased to state that
arrangements have been made to that
end.
On Friday Mr.. r. Henry Lake came
to Grenada, representing the Memphis
organization to lay the plan before the
merchants and others of Grenada A
representative number of Grenada citi-
zens met with Mr.. Lake in the direct
ors' room of the Grenada Bank and af-
ter short, enthusiastic and practical
talk from Mr.. Lake. it was unanimous
ly voted to arrange to have these
trained agriculturists come to Grenada
county. Within few days, early in
November at the latest. committee
of two from the Business Mems Orga-
nization of Memphis will be in Grenada
to arrange the details of the tour of
this county. Dates and places for the
speakers will be named. This county
will be expected to bear the hotel ex-
penses of this committee As pre-
viously stated this county will also be
expected to bear the hotel expenses of
the speakers and to furnish convey
ances to carry them to and from the
speaking appointments and to advertise
their coming. The campaign will be
conducted in cooperation with the fed
eral government, agriculturists of the
Illinois Central railroad and experts
sent out by the International Harvester
Company. The county will perhaps 0e
toured in one or two days and it is
purposed to have every community
visited and the addresses. or as many
as possible. in the school houses of the
county. From the country school
house comes much of the nope and the
inspiration for the future and it is fit.
ting indeed that these meetings should
be held at such places. The merchants
and others of Grenada are going to the
expense OF providing for the campaign.
The town of Grenada will foot the
oils and The Sentinel feels sure that
the farmers and the stock rasers of
the county will each make himself
ommittee of one to tell his neighbor
and friend about the meetings and to see,
that good crowds greet the speakers.
Let Grenada county get in line. Ttis
county can not walk while others run.
The future of the farmer depends upon
the trained farmer. Facts are facts.
1t therefore behooves every farmer to
prepare to adjust himself to new con-
iitions and to conduct his business in
harmony with the trained thought of
the age.

Another Old Veteran
Passes TO the Beyond.

On Sunday morning at II o'clock, at
his home six miles northwest of Gre
NADIA, another old veteran of the Con-
federacy in the person of Mr.. Richard
Bowles. answered his last call. Mr..
Bowles had been in feeble health for a
number of years and for a long time
had remained at home on account of
his physical condition. He was mem
ber of the celebrated 18th Mississippi
regiment and bore his part of the Civil
War valliantly. Since that memorable
struggle he had led quiet life and had
always been known as a peace loving.
law abiding citizen. His remains were
laid to rest Monday morning at Mt.
Paran church burying ground, the
members of Barksdale camp of vet
Grams officiating. The U. D. C's of
Grenada sent a beautiful floral tribute
out of respect to the memory of the
deceased. Mr. Bowles is survived by a
brother and two sisters to whom The

Fine Price for Grenada County Cattle

c. J. Allen of Grenada county. Mis-
slssippi. was a first time" shipper to
our East st. Louis house on October l8.
In fact, the car of mixed cattle we sold
for him that day was the first car of
stock he had ever marketed anywhere
Steers up to So. so per cwt, yearlings
at 81. so to SO. 90, one veal calf at SO. 50,
which latter price was surpassed by
only four vealers on that days market,
besides many other sales of equal i'm
portance prompted Mr.. Allen to make
some highly complimentary remarks
about our selling service.
Mr.. Allen just entered into live stock
raising year ago and most of the
cattle we sold for him were his first
production He now has a pure bred
shorthOrn bull at the head of the herd,
aud promises to ship us some fine cat
tie next year ''If there is anything |
can do for your firm down my way you
bet I'll do it," was his parting remark.
The above from The Live Stock Report
of Clay, Robinson & Co., of Chicago,
of date of Oct. %. will be read with in
terest by the thoughtful and planning
citizens Of Grenada county and fur
nishes another Of the many object les
sons the country is just now receiving
of what can be and is being done at
home. Mr.. Allen is interested with
Mr.. Donald Ross at Tie Plant. Again
the question comes, why all cotton
when it is so easy to raise some cattle
and to diversity crops?'

POOR WAGES; INFANTS DIE

In a report issued by the depart
ment of labor it is shown that the
infant mortality rate is higher among
children of the poor than those more
comfortably situated. Montclair, N.
j., residential suburb of New York
city, was investigated by department
officials "Montclair," the report says,
is distinguished for it's comfortable
homes and attractive climate and To-
cation"
In a ward where the most favor
able conditions for living exist, the
death rate for babies was SO per 1000.
In ward 4, where so of the 113 tene-
ments of the city are found, the rate
was 100. Here was found the most
congested housing conditions in the
city The report shows that the death
rate varied with the income. Among
families where the income was less
than $12 a week the rate was more
where the income was $23 or more,
The fathers occupation gave some
indication of the trend of the infant
mortality rate. Where fathers We're
professional or business men the rate
was Al. In the skilled trades group,
it rose to IA, while among babies
whose fathers were engaged in semi
skilled trades, unskilled trades, and
domestic service, the rate was 1O1-
more than double the rate for pro-
fessional men.
1t is pointed out that all the fig
ures quoted are too small to furnish
a basis for hard and fast conclusions,
but they bear out the results of sim
liar Investigations on a larger scale

MASSACRE OF
THE INNOCENTS"

Under the above caption The Phila-
delphia Public Ledger prints a ter
rifle arraignment of conditions in that
city as they affect the child popula-
ton.
Death came to an eighth of the
babies born in Philadelphia last year."
the paper declares editorially. cal
most 5000 little lives were snuffed out
by disease, exposure or malnutrition. "
The citys infant death rate is 121.3
per thousand-yet the same publica-
ton declares there are two other
large cities in the United States, Balti-
more and Chicago, where the life loss
from this cause is even larger.
Contrast this with the situation in
Seattle-the worlds healthiest city
and acclaimed by Leslie's as "the
greatest summer playground in the
world" The same publication de-
clares:
According to United States mortal
ity statistics, Seattle is in a class by
itself in respect to the low rate of in
FAINT mortality, the death rate of chill
dren under five being 1879 per 100000.
Fall River has 9225, Lowell 1872, De-
troit $50, Buffalo SAB"
When a nation of adults complacent-
ly stands idly by while thousands of
infants die annually of preventable
disease, or of innutrition, it is hardly
consistent to ask it's working-class
population to go to war for revenge of
handful of well-to-do tourists taking
chances in the war zone.

POVERTY and PROSTITUTION

Girls are seduced because too fond
of love; that is true. But not every
girl seduced enters a life of shame
Very rarely does betrayed girl
whose parents have means go upon
the town. She does not have to. Her
parents take care of her. They hide
her shame. It's fruit is lost, and the
girl generally marries and stays re-
spectacle.
1t is the poor girl, who, after seduc-
ton, has to look for work. Her shame
is known. Such knowledge prevents
her from securing employment Her
parents cannot help her. Her one re-
course is to go upon the town. 1t
appalls good people to know how many
women of the town are supporting
their children; how many of them are
giving of the wages of sin for the
support of parents or the education
not reveal economic reason for prosti-
tuition, what does it reveal? There
is economic reason in the fact that
the girl whose family has means and
some social position is much less like
ly to make a mistake than her poorer
sister. She is better safeguarded in
every way imaginable. The woman
on the town, of weIl-to-do antecedants,
with an education, with refined con-
nection, is extremely rare. One in
ten thousand is the proportion. That
girls of good families and good cir
cumstances do fall" we all know,
as they are but human, but they don't
fall so far as the poor girls do, simply
because they can conceal their mis-
fortune. They are thus not shut out
from honorable marriage. The poor
girl, with her published shame, cannot
marry and cannot find work. That is
why and how poverty produces prosti-
tutes, despite the denials of young Mr..
Rockefeller's vice" or white slave"
