effort will be largely an artillery af-
fair in which American soldiers man
ming French 75s will be called upon
to do their full share.
Artillery One-third of Army
What that full share will amount
to is realized when it is known that
the present proportion of artillery in
France is one-third of the total mill
tary offensive. That astounding ratio
will be maintained. possibly in
creased, when the co-ordunated ISr'
OF England. France anc the UNI
States begin their thunderous effort
next April.
Shells for the use of the artillery
are already being heaped mountain
high in anticipation of the great
drive. The making of a sufficient
number of guns is another problem,
and, had it not been for the co-op-
Grafton of France, it might have been
a stumbling block to our progress.
France Speeds Output
with the speeding up of the French
plants which turn out the famous 75s.
however, the handicap has been over
come and the lads who are to COM
mand the gun crews will find the
long, slim weapons with their char
aoteristlc horizon-blue camouflage
ready for them when they leave the
schools that are to make them first
Gloss artillery officers.
Speculation as to the future of the
new artillery service is being in
dulged in quietly here. VIII we take
over the as as our standard field
piece through an arrangement with
the French government growing out
of the war, or will we use the 75 as
the foundation and the inspiration
for field guns of our own? That is
the question that, if it has already
been answered officially, is locked in
the breasts of the War Department
officials of France and the United
States.

GIRL CAUGHT IN COGS:
MOTHER CUTS OFF ARM

Pierre, S. D.-Mrs. ]. B. Clarkson,
of Harding county, was forced to de-
eide whether to amputate the arm
of her little daughter or allow the
child to suffer with her arm, crushed
in the machinery of a power washing
machine, until she could go long
distance for help. She decided that
as the arm was so badly mangled
that it would have to be cut off, she
would perform the operation.
With the implements at hand she
cut the suffering child loose and hur-
riedly getting a team ready took her
to the nearest physician, where the
injured stump was properly cared
for.
The child had been left alone in a
shed where a power washing ma
chine was running, and becoming
frightened at a dog. attempted to go
around the machine and her arm
was caught in the cogS.

Lift Out Your COrns
ICE MINT
THE NEW DISCOVERY ENDS
Foot Troubles


This new discovery, made from a
Japanese product is certainly a Won
der the way it draws out inflamma-
tion from pair of swollen, burning,
aching feet. 1t takes the soreness
right out. then the corn or callous
shrivels and lifts off.
Hard corns, soft corns or corns be-
tween the toes. just snrivel up and
lift off so easy. 1t is wonderful. Just
think! Not one bit of pain while ap-
plying lce-mint or afterwards. 1t
doesn't even irritate the surrounding
skin.
You will never have 70 cut a corn
again and run the risk of blood poison.
Say good-by to your old corn salve,
plasters and bundling tape for that
pet corn of yours is sure to be a
'goner" if ii ever feels the magic
touch of Ice-mint.
1t imparts such a delightful, sooth-
ing, cooling feeling to the feet that
you will sigh with relief.
Ice-mint is the real Japanese secret
for fine, healthy little feet. 1t pre-
vents foot odoTs and keeps them sweet
and comfortable. 1t is greatly appre-
ciated by women who wear high heel
shoes.
Just ask in any drug store for a lit
tie lce-mint and give your poor, suf-
fering, tired, swollen feet the treat
of their lives. it costs little and
there is nothing better-Advertise-

OPERATIONS TO

Compensation Board Issues
Ruling on That
Phase

The Pennsylvania State Compen-
EnSblom VS.. American Steel and
Wire company answers a suggestion
that 1T state its policy in regard to
operations where conditions may be
improved by saying, IF the board
shall be satisfied from the evidence
in any case that the disability caused
by the injury can be removed by a
surgical operation and that the oper-
alton Will not add other disability or
by any chance endanger the life of
the employe and shall be further
satisfied from the manner and tenn
per of the injured employe that his
refusal to submit to the operation
is an act of malingerer or of mere
whim and unreasonable timidity on
the part of the employe, such action
Will be taken and such control of
compensation payments will be as
sumed by the board as shall tend to
persuade the employe to submit to
an operation"
The commission makes a ruling in
the case of Kondrati6 vs. Hudson
Coal Company, n Scranton case, in
which the overtime question was
raised. the contract resulting from
the agreements between the anthra-
cite operations and the Miners Union
and providing that eight hours shall
constitute a days work and that all
over that shall be considered over
time being offered. The board finds
that the man worked twelve hours a
day and was paid on that basis and
says: Under the facts and circum-
stances of this case we cannot agree
that four hours out of each twelve
hours that the deceased regularly
worked is to be regarded as over
time and excluded in computing his
average weekly wage. This, it seems
to us. would not be Just and equit-
able" The referee is sustained in
taking into consideration the entire
amount earned in the full twelve
hours day.

An artillery schol of large proper

a number of others are springing up
quietly but efficiently.
The principal part of the education.
however, is to be carried on at the
great artillery school of Fontaine-

U. S. GOVERNMENT EXHIBIT

The United States Government
gave a merited endorsement to the
Mississippi Centennial Exposition
when Congress passed a bill ordering
the great exhibit in California sen to
Mississippi and appropriated $4,000
10 the purpose Of transporting, in
sta ling and maintaining It. BY this
act national endorsement was given
the project.
The people of Mississippi might be
interested to know that this exhibit is
the result of year of work and cost
the better part of a million dollars.
1t is really an exposition in itself; 35.-
600 square feet of floor space will be
required to take care of it. Every
department of the federal government
will be represented.
1t will be ever better than the n
out west. Several departments will
be greatly improved and at least two
added. Large models of the latest wal
vessels will be sen to take the place
of those now out of date. The agri-
cu'tural exhibit will be greatly In
creased and that of the Interior De-
rartment worked over and brought up
to date.
1t is contempa't ted to bring the ex-
hibit to Gulfport by Government
barge after the closing at San Diego
and store in a large building where
it can be worked over and added to
by the opening day in December next
year.
Mississippians have a cause to feel
grateful toward Congress FOR the con-
sideration shown by bringing this
great exhibit here and affording to
our people an opportunity of seeing it
and understanding better the methods
employed by Uncle Sam in handling
the affairs of a great nation.
Faint heart never won fair lady, nor
will backwardness ON the part OF the
people Of Mississippi ever get for
them what they deserve.

A striking demonstration Of what

1t will afford the greatest Opportun-

who always waits for something to

farmers Of Mississippi ever expect to

NATIONAL r DAY

\ NATIONAL THRIFT DAY
Thrift Day" will be celebrat-
led throughout the United States
on February 3rd.
n That day has been decided up
Aon by the promoters of the great
national thrift movement, which
has spread throughout the
country. The purpose of cele-
brating the day is to bring to the
minds Of the people the necessity
and ACCESSIBILITY of cultivating
habits of thrift to put aside a
y fund for a Rainy Day. 1t is
said Of the people of the United
States that they are far behind
those of other nations in matters
4 of thrift. We Americans have
the reputation, in fact, OF being
reckless and extravagant spen-
! ders. Those who are boosting
the Thrift Day" movement
1 hope through the medium of a
] national observance, to make at
/ least a good start in bringing
about a different condition of af-
fairs. They hope that thousands
! of formerly i%mprovident people
will, on Thrift Day., start
] savings accounts, and will there
after put aside a certain percent
age of their earnings, much the
same as the forests and groves
are being conserved by the an
nual observance of "Arbor Day."
Thrift Day also will teach les
sons of efficiency in the spen-
ding of money, and the procur-
ing of the best values and results,
as well as the actual Inaugural
ton of savings accounts. To-
morrow is Thrift Day.. The
entire country is going to observe
f, it and Tupelo should not fail to
join in this great movement. 1t
is a business proposition and par
ents should have their children
observe the day by making some
kind of a deposit.
Thrift Day. is not a holiday;
it is a day, not for spending, but
for saving. In this strenuous
time of the high cost of living
there should be some day set
apart when we should take an
account of ourselves and put our
minds upon the important subject
of taking care of the dimes.
Let tomorrow be:
A day for starting a savings
account.
A day for getting a new angle
on the family budget.
A day for stopping tiny leaks
that drain the pocket.
A day for adjusting expen-
diture more accurately to income.

lite cloth of rare cluny lace. The
centre piece was a Marie Antoi-
nette basket filled with pink car
nations, ferns and snowey white
blossoms. with a lovers knot of
tulle. Pink and green tulle
steamers fell from the chande-
lier to the corners of the table.
Pink shaded candles were used
and the effect was most artistic.
The color scheme, pink. white
and green, was carriee out in the
delicious ice course and beauti-
fully monogramed cakes, served.

presents were displayed in anoth-
err room. Silver-ware. cut glass,
hand-painted china-everything
dear to the heart of a bride, was
here in profusion.

ing hours.
