The American Jewish world., 1915-12-03
A CHANUKAH APPEAL
FOR PALESTINE.

kah Festival, and remember the
deeds of the Maccabees, think of the
Land for which the Maccabees
fought and died think Of Palestine
This Land-the Land Of Israel
is now in great distress. The Jew
ish settlement there, with its colon
les, schools and Yeshibahs, with it's
cities and institutions, is threatened
with destruction. Cut off from the
rest of the world, with commerce
paralyzed and industry at stand
still, eighty thousand Jews in Pal
estine face tarvatio1l-unless we
help them.
The Palestinian Jews went to the
Land of Israel not for themselves.
They strove to create a Jewish cen
ter in the Old land of which all
Jews would be proud They built
schools, colonies, roads, redeemed
the waste places, revived the He
brew language not for their own
personal welfare, but in order that
the Jewish people might possess a
home. They were building home
for the Jewish people when the war
came and cut the ground from under
their feet.
They are now in want They can
not appeal to the Jews of Europe,
who have distress of their own to
relieve. Unless you relieve them,
they will starve and this fine Jewish
center will be destroyed.
The Provisional Zionist Commit
tee, Of which Louis D. Brandeis is
chairman, succeeded, with the help
of the Jews Of America, in maintain
ing the Jewish settlement in Pal
estine during the first year of the
war. We are now facing another
year of war.
What are you going to do to
carry Palestine Jewry through the
winter? Are you going to give gen
erously to the PALESTINE Emer-
gency Fund of the Provisional
Committee?
The treasurer of the Provisional
Committee is Mr.. E. w. Levin
Epstein, A East 23rd Street, New
York.
Draw your check today to his or
der for substantial sum, which
will be sent to Palestine to save
the Jewish Settlement in the old
Land of Israel.

TAX LEVY FIXED.

Columbus, Miss, Oct. 9.-The most
important matter to come before the
county board Of supervisors at its reg
plar monthly meeting this week was
the fixing of the tax levy for the en-
suing year. Recently the assessments
of property, both real and personally
have been adjusted on a more or less
equitable basis, and the county solons
found it necessary to change the levy,
ID mills for general purposes.
The only increase in special levies
was that of district 4, where a levy of
3A mills was made to provide for road
improvements. This district has re-
Gently issued bonds amounting approx
imately to $4,000 for the construction
OF modern highways. District two, in
which is located the City OF Columbus
has already issued 100000 in bonds
for similar purpose.

The summary is as follows:

where some damage was done to open
cotton by wind and rain, and some
corn was prostrated. There were fur

The weather conditions with re,ation

RaiIroads RepaIrlna Damage.

Jackson, Miss, Oct 9.-Among the
visitors to this city last evening was
P. s. George of Greenwood, one Of the
best. known and most popular men
In the delta section, who was on his
way home from the coast of Harrison
county, where he had spent several
months. Asked as to the conditions
on the coast following the recent
storm disturbance. Mr. George declar-
ed emphatically that while it is true
much material damage has been done
to property, 1t has been widely distrib-
uted and that within comparatively
short time conditions can be restored
to practically a normal stage. 1t is
true, as he states, the Mississippi
Coast Traction Company has sustain
ed much damage, and, of course, the
the coast points have been seriously
affected, but this condition is only
temporary. While the tracks and right
of way have been impaired and dis
arranged, SO far as he had been able
to ascertain there has been no actual
property lost. 1t is true that poles
are down, with their loads of wires,
and the ties and roadbed have been
scattered and left awry. but the right
OF way remains, and the steel and
wire are at hand, only requiring
strengthening out and replacing, which
is now under way.
AS stated by Mr. George and others
who have been on the coast and OBJ
served the situation, the situation is
one that can be easily handled by local
effort and cooperation, and the men
who have invested interests are quite
optimistic as to the future. OF course
the railroad companies, both steam
and electric, have lost heavily, and it
win require considerable outlay of cap
ital to restore to normal conditions.
and in the meantime the public who
are dependent on their activities must
suffer Inconvenience. But the people
are cheerful and philosophical, and by
next summer. and even before, the
status quo win be restoerd.
Meanwhile the Illinois Central Rail-
road Company, with its small army of
workers. is busily engaged In the work

BANKING LAW EFFECTIVE.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 8. - All three
members of the board of state bank
examiners are on hand for their statu-
tory quarterly meeting, to confer to
gether over the conditions generally
as found during their rounds in the re-
spective districts since the present
half-year begun. The members, E. F.
Anderson of Clinton, president; j. s.
Love of Hattiesburg, and S. S. Harris
of Tupelo, have each made the second
round of their own districts, having
made the initial round directly after
their appointment and organization I'M
1914. A provision of the banking law
is that no examiner shall examine the
same bank or set of banks twice dur
ing the same IL months. This means
switching around alternately to each
others territory every six months.
Each examiner is just completing his
own district for the second time and
when completed will make an ex-
change again and maintain the alter
mating policy.
1t is considered by bankers and busi-
ness men generally that it is a forum
ate thing for the system, as well as
for business that these three men,
upon whom the burden and RESPONSE
bility of putting the admirable system
Of state supervision and control of
banks into effect, have each been re-
tanned by the voters of their districts:
two of them without opposition, and
the other, Mr.. Love. with SO little as to
be almost a negligible quantity, judg-
ing by the handsome majority which
he received.
After holding a conference with the
executive committee of the bankers
association, relative to proposed
changes or notifications in the law of
1914, the members of the banking
board were able to show to the repre-
sentatives of the association that very
little change is necessary, and those
which might be suggested to the legis-
lature would not alter or effect the
material provisions of the law. Months
ago the law, by virture of it's opera
ton and administration demonstrated
its effectiveness and strength, and the
entire absence of any bank scares or
hurries in Mississippi, especially dur.
ing the trying times which have pre-
vailed during the past IL months, have
proved it's strength.

Jackson. Miss, Oct 9.-Mail order
houses in Chicago and New York have
paid more than $5,OOOO0 in postage
stamps alone through the jackson

ing huge stacks of mail pouches in the
yard of the federal building began to
make inquiries, learning that every
sack contained catalogues that would
tempt people to send money away
from the state. Some of them secured
kodaks and took pictures of the huge,
piles of pouches.
1t appeared that the big pile would
never diminish, for as fast as auto
mobile trucks brought load to the
postoffice postage was paid and they
were sent to the trains in Uncle Sans
wagons. The forces at the postoffice
worked hard and late to move the
tremendous mail, all mail order cata-
logues that will go into every nook
and corner Of Mississippi.

all this means. Many people unthink-
ingly will send away for goods when
they can buy them just as cheap in

The Grade at home" slogan is be-
ing preached more diligently all over
the state than ever before. and the
huge mail order concerns continue to
