Minutes of Desoto County Press
Association

| The meeting was called to order
on Friday, Oct. 9th ult., by Pres
ident A. P. Jordan, who stated the
object of the meeting. He called
attention to the recommendation
of the State Association thai
weekly papefs increase their sub,
scription rates from $3.50 to $500
per year.
The question was discussed
from various standpoints and was
the sentiment of all present that
something should be done to eur
tail the loss now sustained by most
OF the weeklies in charging $3.50
per year at the prices which they
are now forced to pay for news
print paper.
1t was suggested that if the
weekly newspapers should adopt
a strictly cash basis, so that they
would receive the full amount if
each subscription, instead of los
ing from Is to rs per cent of their
subscription accounts in bad
debts, it would then be unneces-
sary to raise the price. The fol-
lowing resolution was read and a.
dopted;
Whereas, The extreme high
price which we are forced to pay
for news print paper renders it
necessary for weekly newspapers
to either increase their present
subscription rates, or else adopt
system to prevent any loss on sub
scriptiOn accounts, and
Whereas, We are opposed to |
the principle of allowing the
. dead-beat" to force an increased |
price upon people who pay their
just debts; therefore, be it
Resolved. That from and af-
ter Jan. LIST, 1917, the members
Of the DeSoto County Press Asso-
citation will mail no papers to
who have not paid their
subscriptions in advance.
Resolved, That those who
really want the paper and intend
20 pay for it will welcome the OPP
Dortunity to pay in advance, rath-
n than stand a further increase in
he subscription price, while those
Who might shirk the obligation
will be weeded out, and both the
newspaper and the prompt sub
criber will profit thereby"

Next to sunlight of heaven is
the cheerful face. There is no
mistaking it. The bright eye, the
unclouded brow, the sunny smile,
all tell of that which dwells within,
Who has not felt its electrifying
influence? One glance at this face
lifts us out of the mists and shad-
ows into the beautiful realms of
hope. One cheerful face in the
household will keep everything
light and warm within. 1t may
be very plain face, but there is
something in it we feel, but cannot
express, and its CHEEKY smile sends
the blood dancing through the
veins for very Joy. There is
world of blessed magic in the plain,
cheerful face, and we would not
exchange it for all the soulless
beauty that ever graced the fairest
form on earth.-Nutshells of Truth,

strongest character. Many of these
disputes we're so grave, that from
time to time, even the most opti-
mistic we're apprehensive, lest, in
spite of all efforts we might be
sucked into the maelstrom of the
European struggle.
But Americas Ship of State is

become the universally recognized
exponent of the ri ghts of neutrality
as basic principle. Our country
is the impregnable stronghold of
the esta blished doctrines of inter

firmly, courageously, consistently

'It is a time for fitting tribute

critical era ia international affairs.
For nearly two years now, our
foreign relationships have present
ed a governmental problem which
admits of no comparison since the
days of Abraham Lincoln, and in
many particulars finds no parallel,
even during the dark days of the
Civil War. While, in the years
from 1861 to 1865, our diplomacy
abroad was confronted with ques-
tions of extreme acuteness, it % ust,
in all fairness be stated, that these
questions we're not SO numerous as
those which have been developed
by the World War. The situation
in Europe, as affecting ourselves,
was far less complex then than it
has been in the past twenty months
of President Wilson's admins ira

When all the great powers of
Europe plunged into the vortex
of conflict, the entire fabric of
American diplomacy had to be ad.
justed to meet the conditions. OF
the immensity of the labors thus
entaiIed, of the scope and consum

utilized, the people of the United
States know the large outlines, and
of the peoples recognition, their
satisfaction with the mighty work
that has been accomplished, there
