troops on the battle front in Europe?
Just now there is no such handy
name. The American people ought
to find a name-descrptive, and
snappy-fOr their boys in olive dTab.
The Day Book and 200 other
American newspapers are on the
hunt for that name.
All other soldiers at. the front are
known by some familiar name.
The French ''POilu" is known
wherever men gather.
The British "TOmmie" will never
answer to any other name.
The, Australians and New Zealan-
ders together are known as the AN
zags."
The Canadian has adopted tom
mie" for his name perhaps because
the home folk didn't christen him by
any other until the adopted name had
grown too fast.
So there must be a name for the
brave fighters that go from the
United States. 1t must be a distinC-
tive American name with zipp to it.
Right now, let's name the Ameri-
can soldier. Let's give him a name
that will go with him to the trenches
"a name that his deeds will make
live through all history.

HaIf Your Living
Without Money Cost

A right or wrong start in 1917 will
make or break most farmers in the
South. We are all facing a crisis.
This war in Europe puts things In
such uncertainty that no man can
foresee the future with any degree OF
clearness.
The sure and certain increase In
cotton acreage means lower cotton
prices next fall. Cost OF all food and
grain products is high, SO high that
no one can afford to buy and expect
to pay out with cotton.
It's g. time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your
own acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece Of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. It will
save you more money than you made
on the best fvo acres OF cotton you
ever grew!

A Letter From Shorty

them when they leave here.
But the strange thing to me is,
why can some men be so much
greater than others. Some men
can make enough of history in liv-
ing a life time to furnish read
ing matter for future generations
to study an unknown period.
It was our pleasure this week
to listen to man speak who has
made more history than any liv-
ing man. A man whose name IS
known in every civilized country
on the globe. A man who has
spoken in two-thirds OF the
countries of the world and always
advocated the same principles
that he advocated at home.
This great statesman has been
called a dreamer and time has
proven that he really was a
dreamer. Things he advocated
twenty years ago have been put
into practice and he is living to
see his dreams, or thoughts,
come true. He is man who has
never been directly successful
in politics, but is the most in
directly successful politician llv-
ing. With few exceptions he is
the father, so to speak, of every
democratic principal of the past
twenty years, At the time he
advanced many of them, he was
called a dreamer, but time pass
ed on and the real thing happen
ed, and then he was given credit.
1t has been truthfuIly said that
this man was living twenty-five
wears ahead of his time.
Now, would you like to listen
to such a man on the stage Tor
one hour and forty five minutes:
How would you like to hear a
man who has the reputation OF
being the finest orator IN the
world? How would you like to see
a man who never loses a fight
on principals though it may take
him ten years TO gain? How
would you like to see and hear
a man who can sway conven-
tions, snd who has more power
perhaps with the common people
than any man living?
We promised ourself twenty
years ago if this man ever came
our way, and it was possible for
US to reach him we would hear
him speak. The long looked for
time came to US on last Monday
when only thirty miles lay be-
tween US and him, so we took
advantage of the opportunity and
graced the occasion with our
presence. AS many heard him as
could get in the Lomo Theatre
at Hattiesburg, and one of the
mysteries of his life is you can
hear him as distinctly IN the
rear of the crowd as you can in
front.
He is dreaming now on these
three subjects more than any
others at this time, viz-Woman
Suffrage. National Prohibition,
and Universal Peace, and from
these subjects he lectured Mon
day. He said that his gOod Wlle
said if he sleeps plenty, not eat
too much, and not work too hard
she thinks she can pull him
through twenty y ca long
er," and by that time he hopes
to see the three issues in full
force in the United States as
we'll as peace in all the world.
We would like to tell you a
few things that he said, but he
said 1t so different from any
other man we ever heard say
anything and put such a finish

Spain's Neutrality an
Error, Says Romanones
Organizes Political Party to
Secure Nations Position
After the War

Washington, July %. A dispatch
from Madrid to-day states that Count
Romanones, former Premier of Spain,
was interviewed there by the corre-
spondent of the "Tribuna," Of Rome,
and declared he had always beer con-
vinced of the inevitable triumph of the
Allies and had always believed Spain
had committed a mistake by not declar-
ing herself in favor Of the Allies.
Count Romanones added that after
Germany's ruthless submarine cam
paign began and after the entrance of
America in the war Spain should not
have remained neutral because by so
doing she was compromising her inter
national position after the war. This
being his opinion, he said, he sent King
Alfonso a message which provoked his
removal from the government. he
concluded that he was convinced that
soon all Of his fellow subjects would
be of the same opinion as himself. He
is, therefore, organizing political
party which he intends shall maintain
without doubts or uncertainties de-
mand for the securing OF Spain's
rights and proper position in inter
national affairs.
The dispatch quotes Count Roma
nones as saying: =,
"The situation in Spain has reached
such a serious point that a prompt SOL
ution is absolutely necessary. But no
internal reforms will be effectual with
out a decided foreign policy. 1t is,
therefore, necessary that Spain take
sides with the Allies in order to be
part of the moral organization OF the
great democracies of the world.
internal reforms in Spain can be in
troduced without destroying the mon
archy."
Count Romanones hoped that the
present government would be able to
overcome the crisis confronting 1t.
Speaking of Italy, he recommended the
negotiation OF a commercial, political
and economic treaty between the two
powers.
