We Must Win.

Col. William J. Bryan, VIII
has been the strongest peace
advocate this country has ever
known, and who practically
quit the cabinet because of his
opposition to war, has this tt
say in the last issue of his pa.
per, the COmmoner:
Those who, before the United
States entered the war, thought i
better to remain neutral and post
pone until after the war the settle,
ment of differences with belligerent
nations, will have no difficulty in
recognizing the change in the situa.
ton caused by our own nations en-.
trance into the war. Had we remain
ed neutral we might have been able
to act as mediator and thus render
ed an important service to the world.
In entering the a however, we
surrendered that opportunity and in
Cured the enmity of the central
powers. A new situation, therefore,
confronts us. We must not only
protect ourselves from those who are
now our enemies, but we must find
an opportunity for world service in
aiding to arrange a permanent peace,
built on justice, liberty and democ-
racy.
We must win. Defeat is incon-
ceivable-it would be indescribably
unfortunate if it were possible. We
can not allow any foreign nation to
determine the destiny of the United
States-especially a nation commit
ed, as Germany is, to arbitrary gov
eminent and militarism.
Neither can we afford to have our
allies overcome-that would bring
upon US the disasters of defeat or
the burden of carrying on the war
alone.
We are in the war by the action
of congress-the only body author
lied to take the nation into war.
The quickest way to peace is to go
straight through, supporting the
government in all it undertakes no
matter how long the war lasts or how
much it costs.
We must win.
Any discord or division, after the
government has acted, would prolong
the war and increase its costs in
money and men.

County Board Busy.

The county board under the
selective draft, Sheriff Trapp,
Circuit Clerk Long and DR..
Quincy have been busy making
up a list of the first quota call
ed to arms in Lee county. The
list was received Saturday af-
ternoon and the officers did not
go into it until Monday morn
ing, when they met and began
selecting the numbers up to
2053 as they had been called.
The task was a slow and te-
dious one, requiring perfect ac-
curacy on the part of the board
and not until Tuesday after
noon was the first quota call
ed from the vast array of fig
ures sent by the government.
This list is published in this is
sue, and the first third of them
summoned by posting a notice
in the mail to be on hand Mon
day for examination. The sec
ond was summoned for Tues
day and the third for Wednes-
day.
The duty of the members of
the board is a very delicate one
and the government is urging
them to do their full duty in
making the selections. Gen.
Crowder, provost marshal gen.
eral who is in charge of the
draft appeals to the boards in
these words:
"The selected man offers his
life. It will strengthen you to

emption or discharge that is

A Model Farm.

A visit to the farm of Jack
Jones four miles west of town
gave us an opportunity to see
what can be done by a man
who, while not on the farm and
not a practical farmer himself,
but who has given the subject
of farming considerable study
and investigation. Mr.. Jones
bought some of the red wax
land west of Tupelo two years
ago and began a systematic
study and experiment to bring
the land up to the highest state
of cultivation. His hobby was
grain, hogs, stock and poultry.
He planted corn, peas, peanuts
soy beans, velvet beans, and
potatoes, and got a good start
in hogs. His first year was pro-
fitable beyond his most san
guine expectations. This year
his crop is along the same lines,
but having bought the tract of
the Moore place on the Ches-
terville pike, his operations are
more extensive. He is very for
tunate in having two intelligent
and industrious tenants in the
persons of Mr.. and Mrs. D. L..
Jernegan, who are thoroughly
interested in seeing that ev-
erything on the place brings
the very best results.
Mr.. Jernagan is a model
farmer, while his good wife
looks after the poultry and
household affairs. Mrs. Jerna-
gan is an expert Gamer and
puts up considerable quantity
of vegetables, berries and
fruits for the winter. She has
a fine flock of turkeys that
promise something very tempt-
ing along about Thanksgiving
and Christmas The crop on
the place was planted and
worked according to the lat
est theories of scientific farm
ing and a good crop is already
assured.
The entire place will be put
under a hog wire fence and
hogs run on the land to fatten
on the beans, peas and peanuts.
There are about forty hogs on
the place that will be ready for
the market while a number of
registered Duroc Jerseys will
be offered for breeding pur-
poses. A fine we'll run by a
gasoline motor furnishes all the
good water needed. Pipes
send the water to all lots and
pens. The home and outhouses
are substantial and comodious
and we'll kept. With every
farm home in the county as in
diligently handled Lee county
would soon take front rank as
one of the leading stock and
grain counties of the country.

GRAND Jury WILL
SI|el Mo
PRICES OF foods
Ashford Gives instructions and
Two Committees Named;
Rice and Fish First

Special committees Of the grand
Jury are now investigating the JUMP
In the cost Of food in Honolulu.
At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
when the grand jury made its report
of the afternoons indictments to
Judge Ashford he reviewed the stu
alton as to food prices since war was
declared and instructed that ihquisi-
tofial body to make careful inyesti'
CATION and q full report
The grand jury Immediately re-
paired to its meeting room where
Foreman E. p. Fogarty appointed two
special committees OF three members
each to report at the next sitting.
Rice and Fish First
One committee was delegated to
look especially into the sale Of rice
and the other. the sale of fish. Both
committees, however, are to make 3
thorough survey Of all food prices
with an eye for possible conspiracies
or unlawful combinations to corner
markets and force high figures.
In his message to the jurors, Judge
Ashford said in regard to rice that II
was well known the price had gone
soaring and he would like to know
the reason for such rise. Taking up
the matter OF the greater cost OF fish
and stories in the press to the effect
that fishermen dumped big catches
overheard to create an unnatural
scarcity and to maintain higher prices
the Judge said the jury should investi-
gate seriously.
"In Biblical times" was one nf the
Judges observations, "the common
people were accustomed to gather by
the sea when fish were plenty and
profit and benefit alike by II. Such
should be the case here. The people
of Hawaii are poor enough as it is in
many instances without sucE CONN n
necessities as fish and rice castir g
still more"
Huber Finds Nothing "
United States District Attorney
Huber, who has been looking into the
high cost OF living in Hawaii for come
time, and especially into the Increased
cost of rice, on the lookout for pos
sible violations of the Sherman anti
trust act, says he has discovered no
unlawful combinations and inasmach
as the rise here has not been so much
as in California does not think that
anything other than natural causes
has brought the greater cost.
Investigation Should BE Easy II.
Judge Ashford instructed the grano
jury to bring indictments against any
who might be illegally combining in
restraint OF trade and Attorney Huber,
on his part. viii certainly bring action
for the United States government,
against any who may appear TO be
violating federal acts.
In his instructions, Judge Ashford
voiced the opinion that whereas most
of the rice and the fish business in
the islands was in the hands Of SO
few there should be no particular
difficulty in getting at the truth about
the whole situation.
