The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1917-05-11

A circumstance which came to the attention of The Sen
tinel this week called forth membranes of many similar cir
cumstances which it has experienced. A citizen of the county
used his best endeavor to find some sweet potato slips in this
vicinity, and failed. AS a result he had to send his money to
another community, an action on his part which was prompted
by an advertisement that he saw in a farming periodical. Now,
The Sentinel is persuaded that many farmers in Grenada coun-
ty have potato slips in excess of their own requirements, po-
tato slips which they could dispose of at no cost to themselves.
Surplus potato slips which can be sold represent cold, hard
profit. This example regarding potato slips is typical of many
such which we have known. We send off to an advertiser for
corn. for velvet beans. for potato slips and for many other
things, when, if we but knew it, some of our fellow countymen
possess these things. The one preeminent medium for the dis
position of surplus products is the county newspaper. In writ
ing this, we are not wholly inspired by the selfish thought that
we will get a small sum from each advertisement. We see in
the execution of this plan a very practical example of the work
ings of the Live at Home" propaganda. A person would
much prefer buying from persons in his own community than
from those in distant communities for he has much more assur-
ance of a satisfactory settlement of any differences in weights,
measures and qualities than he has in dealing with distant pro-
ducers of these things, Advertise your surplus products.

AN OVERDOSE OF ADVICE.

If we were to undertake to publish all the "advice" now
being voluntarily sent out about how to conserve our resources,
how to garden, what crops to raise, etc., we would have to
issue several extra pages every week. Strange as it may be,
but almost every fellow that is crowding the public with his
advice is either on the federal or state pay roll. OF course
there are many who want their names kept before the public
and who do not want to be lost sight of in the shuttle and are
therefore taking advantage of the usual public spirit and gen.
crosby of the press to keep from dropping out of sight. Much
of the advice" calls to- mind some of the eloquence to which
we have been treated in the Back to the farm movement
alas, too many who preached it were just as far from helping
to carry out their slogan as the hooking bird is from seeking
the North Pole. Now we do not mean by what we have stated
that there is not a world of wise and pertinent advice and infor-
nation being given to the public just now, but the "me too's"
are making the overdose. ~

We were favored by Senator Vardaman with a copy of his
speech in opposition to the select draft army bill. We gladly
read it but found that, like almost all of the Senator's public
deliverances, it was sophomore and hit everything except the
subject he was attempting to discuss. The Senator was able
to not deviate from his past record by hiding his lack of argu-
ment and logic beneath a bower of pretty words interspersed
with a little poetry. Much of what the Senator said in this
speech is true but yet it had no application to the bill then be-
fore the Senate. If Mr.. Vardaman had not in almost every in
stance opposed measures urged by President Wilson, more
credence would be given his sincerity in the present case.

The Cotton and Cotton Oil dallas, Texas News is a very

Ever and anon we hear expiring whispers something like
this: This sis a commercial war. The rich of the East brought
on this war when they sold bonds to the Allies" Well, if the
rich brought on the war, and it is the grossest sort of absurdity
to even think so, they are going to have to foot the bills very
largely for its prosecution. Incomes are going to be heavily
taxed, so also are excess profits and all other means or agencies
that put the shekels into the Golfers of the so-called predatory
interests"

time to get into trouble. His
name is Carl M. SKIOLD, by trade a
sailor, who arrived at New York
aboard the steamer, "Espagne, :"
from France. One fine day he
was tempted to walk across the
Brooklyn Bridge, and the view
he enjoyed from this splendid
structure so fascinated him that
he began to make drawings of
the surroundings. But Carl
should not have done that, for
up popped a soldier who ar
rested him as a suspected spy,
and took him to a police station.
AS it was impossible to find any
discriminating material in his
pockets, with the exception of
the unlucky sketch, the forlorn
Swede was held on a charge of
vagrancy. For the New York
police are loath to admit that
they make mistakes.
The question which iagitates
the minds of all Scandapavians
hereabouts is: Will the home
countries be able to keep out of
the war? Of course, it is impos-
sible to predict anything. and it
must be admitted that the dan
ger has by no means disappeared.
The fact that internal political
strife in Sweden just now is up
setting the whole country may
be a deciding factor for the fu-
ture attitude of the three Scan
d'navian countries, and the daily
German submarine outrages make
it difficult for the three peace.

Contrary to common belief,
there is quite a Scandinavian
colony in Boston, Mass. A local
census has just been published,
and according to this, there were

Puritan stronghold. In the en-

are 41,136 Swedes, 1888 Norwe-
gians, and 3,402 Danes. But
these statistics do not take into
account the children born of
Scandinavian parents. The great
majority of the Swedes in the
state are living in Worcester,
where there are said to be more
