THE FOOD QUESTION.

The paragraphs here given are from
portions of an open letter to Premier
Lloyd George. written by Mr.. Arthur
Nee, leader in the strength Of Brit
ain" movement. The subject matter Isl
pertinent to any warning nation which
permits the sale, manufacture, impor-
tation or expectation of intoxicants:
ut is only the food question that
trembles In the balance" says our
minister of agriculture. "Once we de-
eide that In our favor peace will be-
nearer" Then what infamous treach-
cry Is II that turns this vital scale
against us? We want 100000 loaves
day, and brewers destroy 100000 OF
them. II waste Ia crime. who Is the
criminal here?
| "You stopped the import Of rum
because we have enough to last for
years. but ship that might have
brought In 100000 loaves has just
brought in 10000 gallons Of rum for
1920.
"a ship from great wheat country
has lately arrived with space crammed
with brewers watts.
"Bread costs life, you tell us; but
you have allowed the brewers to Inn
port, at the risk of life, grain for
$4,000 loaves every day since you came
into power to destroy 1t for beer. and
export the beer at the risk Of life.
ut is not safe to imperil the health
of our poor, while brewers grow rich
by destroying bread. It ID not safe to
let poor people walt In queues for
sugar while carloads pour Into
brewers Instructors. You think 1t Is
not safe to deal with drink; but Is 1t
safe to fool with food?
"You talk Of the workman, but have
you asked him to give up his beer
that we may have more to eat2 You
have not. You asked for his son and
he gave him, and he will give you his
beer II you ask. Our workmen are
not Germans that they should drink
us into famine, but they so on because
they think you will say the word, as
you have always done, when the vital
moment comes" sea

Livinston-H Harrison

The announcement of the mar
riage of Marye Livingston and
Miss Grace Harrison at Fayette,
Ala, April 18th came as a sur
prise to the many friends of the
groom in Tupelo who had not
been taken into his confidence.
The bride was teaching in the
high school at Fayette where
Mr.. Livingston met her and won
her heart and hand. Miss Har-
rison is fran Midway, Ala, and
belongs to one of the states old
est and best families. She is a
young lady of lovely character
and high intellectual attain
ments. The groom is one of
Tupelo's popular young men and
has been for some time in the
lumber business in Alabama,
where he has been successful.
The Journal joins in wishing fer
the happy young couple all the
Joys and prosperity of this life.

Play Ball Here Monday

On next Monday the A. & M.
and Old Miss will again lock
horns in Tupelc. The game here
will be the third game of the
series, and is for the State cham
pionship. Reports from Stark
vile and Oxford indicate that the
teams are very evenly matched
and a close game is looked for.
Preparations are being made
to accommodate an even larger
crowd than attended this game
last spring at which time the
largest crowd that ever saw q
baseball game in the State was
present.
The diamond at the Fair
grounds is being put in first class
shape and when the clock strikes
three on Monday all will be in
readiness when the umpire cries
"play ball.
In the first game at the A. &M.

Found a Still

On Saturday morning Jess
Wade, Justice of the Peace for
the east end of the Third district
found a still which with its
operator. he proceeded to take in
without delay. Justice Wade
grew suspicious that some one
was operating a still somewhere
in his section from the abundance
of corn whiskey which was found
round about. He instituted an
investigation and located the
still about a mile and a half east
of Mooresville in little ditch
bottom, having crawled to the
place. He introduced himself to
the operator. Thomas Barnes. by
presenting a pistol under his
nose and the latter very prompt
ly turned over his gun to the
justice. Barnes was taken to
the nearest telephone and Sheriff
Trapp was called. He carried
County Attorney Boggan with
him and with Justice Wade they
went to the still and emptied
three barrels of beer and loaded
a keg of liquor and the still in
the car and with Mr.. Wade and
Barnes they returned to town
where Barnes was placed in Jail.
The government officials were
notified and Deputy Marshall
Talbert of Jackson came up We'd
nesday and destroyed the worm.
Barnes will be taken to Aberdeen
before the U. S. Commissioner.
Mr.. Wade is determined that the
law shall be enforced in his baili-
wich and he is active in running
down all offenders. Barnes is
from Alabama. but spent several
years in Itawamba county.

Will Pay a Bonus

The Gulf Refining Co., of New
Orleans are now paying all en-
ployees a bonus of ten per cent
quarterly in order to meet the
increased demand made upon
them by the high prices prevail
ing in all lines of living, The
company recognizes the fact that
their employees are loyal and
faithful and in appreciation Of
their fidelity they are expressing
their appreciation in a very SUBJ
sstantial way. The company
manifests a very commendable
disposition to be fair and just in
their desling with their en-
ployees and is not disposed to in
crease dividends at the expense
of those who work for them.

Elevator for TupeIo

Elsewhere will be found the
advertisement Of the Tupelo Oil
and Ice Co.. in which they will
erect an elevator and have it in
operation before the, next crop
of corn is gathered. They will
take 100, 200 bushels of corn and
will also buy hay. peanuts, soy
and velvet beans for which they
will pay full market prices. This
step on the part of the mill will
fill a long felt want in Tupelo.
This is a fine corn country and
many of our farmers in the past
have raised a surplus of corn.
Owing to the fact that the local
market is limited but little of the
surplus could be sold at fair
prices. With an elevator all
corn will be taken at prevailing
market prices and the farmer
who has a surplus will not be
forced to accept a price under
the prevailing market price. The
mill will also buy hay. soy and
velvet beans and peanuts, so
those who are trying to get away
from the one crop system will
find a market for these articles
if they grow surplus.

An Economy Campaign

Mr.. R. B. Clark, cashier of the
Bank of Tupelo, furnishes us the
following very timely and ap-
propriate suggestion which we
trust may meet with hearty ap-
proval froM our people and result
in a mo1ement to carry into eff
feet tb6suggestion made:
Excerpt from a letter received
from Sir George Paish. of Lon
don, dated March 81, 1917:
Il have been endeavoring to
form some sort of notion of the
worlds supplies of, food both
this season and next, and have
come to the conclusion that if
the American people will con-
tinue to help the world get
through this time of great stress
and strain by (one) growing as
much food as possible and (two)
themselves consuming no more
than absolutely essential. the
world will weather through, al
though the margin of safety will
be very slender. Would it be
possible for the ladies of Amer
iba to start an economic cam
paign for the benefit of the wo-
men and children. not of Belgium
only but practically of the entire
world, for it is evident that
many poor family will not be
able to buy food in the coming
twelve or eighteen months in
consequence of its dearness and
scarcity unless those women who
can afford to pay high prices vol
unfairly deny themselves, share
the food which Providence pro-
vides with their poorer sisters If
they do this, then the heart Of the
world will beat with that mother
love which is sall powerful for
good and which will prevent the
recurrence of such a disaster as
that now threatening the human
race.
The need of humanity is
great.
The heart of America is also
great.
