For three months, lacking a few days,
this country has been at war. In
those three months about 100000 900
tons OF coal have been mined in the
United States, according 10 the estl-
mates of leading operators. On this
coal an average profit Of not less than
So ton has been eXacted, again on
the authority Of men high in The busl-
ness.
That means profits Of about $4,000,
900 In one quarter Of the year 1T 10
an average margin Of fully 700 per
cent, reckoned on The basis Of actual
cost at the mines. 1t is about thirty
times as much as the profit OF mining
and disposing Of like quantity Of coal
in The years before the war That Is
70 say the margin has been more than
$500, 900, OO0 greater than II would have
been ON the old basis Of cost and selling

While there are many kinds of soaps,
it is said that those commonly used
may be divided into three classes. The
first class comprises fine white soaps
and scented soaps, the second class,
the coarse household soaps, and the

We could multiply the disasters which have come to peoples,
nations and localities indefinitely because of the stubbornness
paths rather than open their ears to the counsel of those who
came to them with garnered wisdom and experience all without
money and without price. The ifs" of history precede every
disaster, all mistakes, all blunders and failures. 100 many OF
us want our own way. Too many of us fail to see that the
same conditions in our own surroundings will produce the same
results that like conditions produce in the history and surround
ings of other peoples. We should make fewer mistakes than
our fathers for the reason that we have the benefit of their
experience as we'll as that of others of their day. Again we
would urge diversifcation.
Today the United States is confronted with the gravest
problem it has ever had to meet. Its integrity is threatened
by the most war-like and bloodthirsty government in all the
worlds history. To lose this war would probably mean that
in place of a President elected by the votes of each individual
citizen, we would have a Kaiser who would draw $4,000, 900
as annual salary; besides this he would have the government
and most productive lands in all this country. w do not
want a Kaiser or any of his kind. We do not believe there is
hardly a possibility of our having one, but if we all sit down
and Just say we will not have a Kaiser to be the head OF our
government we will be dead certain to have one. 1t is going
to take more than just saying something and sitting still. I'VE
have the resources, we have the number of people who can
make soldiers but we must prepare to use our resources. The
farmers alone can insure success.
The farm brigade must first of all get busy and stay busy.
rect the battle line must be fed and the farmers must feed
them. The farmer is not being asked to give anything away;
he viii! be paid well for the products of his soil, yea, he will
be paid ten times over. To talk about the vastness of our re-
sources and then have one-third, or even a very small part,
of our population suffering because of hunger is like the man
who had one million dallars in the bank but could not check it
out even for his necessities.
Mr.. Farmer, your patriotism has never been put to the
test and found wanting; it will do no less now. You will be
true to your past history-we feel sure you will whenever you
realize the great needs OF the hour, but the appeal is, for you
to appreciate the NOWNESS of matters, to lift your eyes and
take a broad sweep of the whole country. We have ninety
millions of people but are not raising food for that number, yet
at the same time we can feed, out of our vast domain, five hun
bred millions of people. Why are we not doing so? You,
Mr.. Farmer, answer. We say take an inventory, and when
you do, We feel sure that the banner of liberty will be raised
higher and that you will put on the armor of Farm Prepared
in this day of your country's peril.

POWERS ON MESSAGE OF PRESIDENT.

Chancellor J. N. Powers, of the State University, felt that
was his patriotic duty to read President Wilson's celebrated
war message to the students of the University, a duty which he
during the chapel exercises on Friday of last week.
Before reading the message to the five hundred and fifty splen-
did young men and women gathered, the Chancellor used the
following forceful and beautiful language in giving his unquali-
fed approval to the course of the President:
"Two moments in the history of the Nation stand out as the
most prominent expostions of the heart and soul of the people.
One was when the immortal Declaration of independence heraded
to the world the democracy of America. The other moment came
a few days ago in the message of our President which has already
electrified the world. Everywhere it has heartened mankind.
Woodrow Wilson has expressed ur ideals. In this message is
found the soul of America; its feelings, its hopes, its aspirations,
its ideals, its democracy-ai shine forth in the expressions found
in this notable paper. Everywhere OF the face of the earth men
will treasure these ideals. Their souls will respond to these prin-
cpes which they have felt but have never been able to express in
such luminous words of hope. From this day forward mankind
will thank God for these American ideals, which one day will be-
come world ideals Our people ire thanking God for this message
of our President which is the expression of the soul of the Ameri-
can Republic. The message s a benedichon to mankind"

IS NO LONGER FOR VARDAMAN.

/. In a forclbly written editorial the Crystal Springs Meteor
III us issue OF March 30, gives unanswerable reasons for no
longer supporting Senator Vardaman, under the canton. "Whv
Not Pat Harrison 20, and at the same time offers some verv
convincing argument why Pat Harrison should be selected to
succeed the Junior Senator from Mississippi. Among other
things the Meteor says: ~
by his continuous opposition to the Presidents domestic
m foreign policies, eliminating in his hostile attitude against the
ships bill, Senator Vardaman has alenated the support of
n Meteor and scores of his adherents hereabout. who hereto
1re " beer loyal to him in all of his political aspirations. The
parting OF tn ways has been reached. The Meteor does not feel
ina 1t can consistently support him when his views are so at
variance with wha 1t conceives to be the duty of a senator in the
present atoha crisis. When war is threatened with the most
ruthes power tn world has ever known, individual convictions
De subordinated to the will of the majority and unanimtv
OF support should be accorded the President in his efforts to pe-
pre I'M country to assert and maintain its right the high
es despite tn nterdictOn of Germany. Senator Vardaman.
since I'M inception OF the great war, has not been inclined to m
prt PRESIDENT wilson; o n the contrary, he has antagonized manv.
II 10 ALL OF MS domestic and foreign policies. The state should
hve a mar IN the senate who will heartily support the President
upon III tn ssue evolved by the war. Senator Vardaman is
persona 10 grata to the President; he should retire and make wav
10 a la who Is IN accord with him and eager to support him in
ms measures TO uphold the honor and dignity of the nation"
Undoubtedly Congressman Pat Harrison IS ono of +be
aoieSt Hen II the lower house of congress. His ability has heen
duly recognized by his fellow congressman. He has stood hy
ms party and is worthy of almost any honor that could be con.
1erred upon him. Somebody is going to oppose Senator Vard-
reelection. Somebody is going to defeat the Senator
and II Fat Harrison is named to sit as one of Mississipnis renre,

If the neighbors and the other inhabitants round about
had hearkened unto the voice Of Noah and prepared for the
flood. the history Of the world would today have been written
in far different words.
If the Egyptians had acted on the advice of Joseph there
would have been no need for the children of Israel fleeing from
Pharoah's hosts and we would be able today to view the past
from an entirely different angle. In thinking of Joseph it is
well to remember his dreams and how his foresight in laying
by of corn and other things for the future enabled him to
succor his old father and kindred back in the home land.
There has never been an emergency or crisis in the life of
any people that God did not furnish some leader to overcome.
The failures have been because the people would not listen.

We are endeavoring to give the people of Grenada and
Grenada county a paper we'll worth while reading, but our
friends could be of a great deal of assistance to US if they only
would. 1t is absolutely impossible for us to know everything
that happens of interest, and it is also impossible for us to
know of all the goings and comings of Grenada people as we'll

take care of the many things that must be done around here.

course get a great deal more news, but it wouldn't be two

Quite a number of the boys of Grenada and of Grenada
county have gone to other places to enlist in the army or navy,
but would it not be better to organize a company here whereby
the identity of the county and the homes of the boys would be
preserved? Quite a number have talked to us about it, but
thus far no decisive action has been taken. Precipiate haste
is unnecessary for the reason that the government has not yet
perfected its plans of organization. but whether a company is
organized here or not, this county will act well its part in
defending the honor of its country.
