Our country Il at war.

Our country Is at war.
In few days, our young men will pro
coed TO the places of registration ana
there offer themselves to their country.
They will be drafted into service for
the flag and before long they will be in
the trenches.
1t will be necessary for other young
men to be sent, later on, and older men,
too. as succeeding calls are made.
1t is not beyond the realm Of possibility
that boys playing in the streets today
will reach the firing line before the war
has ended.
Nobody knows how long it will last
Nobody, just now, is predicting its
early termination.
Nobody knows but that the truck
which killed Harvey Kerneffel killed a
soldier.
Patriotism just now is the thing.
There are the signs everywhere that
Detrot has plenty of It.
The best of her men have volunteered
for service.
Her poorest have subscribed or will
subscribe for Liberty bonds.
Our prosecuting officials have proven
their impotency in dealing with the reck-
less drivers Of motor vehicles.
In all the years that speed demons and
fools have been cutting down boys in the
street, and girls and older persons, as
well, ONLY ONE DRIVER HAS BEEN
SENT TO PRISON.
We need expect nothing like action
from those we paw TO make the streets
safe for us and for our boys.
So lets appeal TO the drivers on the
score Of PATRIOTISM.
Let's remind them that for every boy
they kill il may be that they will be
killing soldier-perhaps the VERY
soldier who will develop into the LEAD
Err to terminate the war and make the
cause of our country a SUCCESS.
Please go more slowly and more care
fully. drivers, IN THE NAME OF THE
FLAG.

YOUTH GETS
HONORS IN HAWAII

The Sentinel is pleased to note in
the Honolulu Bulletin that Mr..
Cornell S. Franklin has been chosen
by the attorney general of that island
as his second deputy attorney gen.
eral. This young man is a native
Mississippian, having been born and
reared in the city of Columbus and
is a nephew Of that honored citizen
and noble man, Capt. T. B. Franklin,
and of Hon. Malcolm Franklin, the
worthy and popular collector of the
port of Honolulu. He graduated
from the University in 1914 and
went Immediately to Honolulu, where
he was fortunate enough to get con-
nections with well established law
firm. Mr.. Franklin made a splendid
record at the University and it is nc
surprise to his friends back in the
states to know that he is succeeding
so well in Hawaii. The Sentinel con
graduates him and feels assured thai
he will measure well up to the very
important trust which has been com
mitted to him.

SOME FINE HOME.
GROWN WHEAT.

W. D. Salmon & Co. purchased this
week some 1917 homegrown wheat
raised by Mr.. w. c. Keelin of the
Rosebloom community, Tallahatchie
county. Mr.. Salmon made the puru-
chase in order to get some of the very
finest wheat for planting purposes.
The yield was about Is bushels per
acre. There were two acres. Mr..
Keelin is well pleased with the re-
suit. With the present price and the
satisfactory yield, these two acres
will pay Mr.. Keelin better than any
other crop he has. There will nc
doubt be much wheat planted in the
county this fall and winter and the
farmers should post themselves as tc
when to plant and as to the prepara'
tion of the ground. In another col
umn of this issue of The Sentinel viii
be found some suggestions from thu
Progressive Farmer as to preparin,
the land.

THAT ENDLESS CHAIN $40
READ WHAT is SAID

Grenada's leading business factors,
realizing what it means to keep in
touch with the trade, to keep up
acquaintanceships, have Joined to-
gether in a page statement which will
be before Sentinel readers for sew
eral weeks. These gentlemen realize
what the endless chain made by a
$40 "William" will do at home. The
power of money spent at home is
many-fold of that spent away from
home. When you spend your money
at home, it gets back to you quicker
because it has not so far to come to
get back. The Sentinel, therefore,
respectfully suggests that its readers
give attention to the page which con-
tains statements or ads from the fol-
lowing firms: A. Gerard, Grenada

col DIERS TO ENTRAIN FOR
JACKSON TODAY (FRlDAY)

The Headquarters Artillery Com
ranv of Grenada county has been
prdered to leave Grenada for the
training camp at Jackson, today, Fri
dav. August 81. The boys will be
missed. They have been source
Of Joy and inspiration to Grenada
over since they were mustered in.
Everybody has been their friend and
tbey have been friends to everybody.
Those who are capable judges of mil
;tary tactics, say that the company
has made remarkable progress in
drilling. indeed they are set Of well
trained boys. 1t would be surprising,
however, if this were not true. This
company is quite above the average
in intelligence and mental discipline,
consequently it is no big task for
them to learn almost anything. Then,
too. the company is we'll officered.
The Sentinel desires to bear testi-
mony to the exceedingly good deport-
ment of the company during it's stay
in Grenada. The utmost decorum
has been observed and Grenada and
Grenada county here and now take
off their hats to them. May an over.
ruling Providence care for them day
by day.

COMMISSIONER OF
ACCOUNTING AND FINANCE

The Sentinel received some days
ago copy of the auditors report on
the books of the city Of Ada, Okla.
The report contains very highly
complimentary reference to the books
and records in the Office of the COM
missioner of accounting and finance,
which Office is being filled by former
Mississippian and one time resident
of Grenada, Mr.. w. E. Conger. Mr..
Conger has been highly honored by
the people of Ada and it gives The
Sentinel satisfaction to note his sue
cess and it takes pleasure in saying
that it feels sure that their confidence
has been worthily bestowed.

A CHANCE rcsfs HE BOYS
EcNs,.o MAKE MONEY
Sheep Will Be Sold Them on Their
Own Note.

The Bradley Knitting Co., of De-
lavan. Wisconsin. are Offering to f.
nance the boys of the United States
who will undertake sheep raising.
The money will be furnished to pur-
chase the sheep on the boys note
without any additional security.
In view of the fact that the number
tf sheep in the United States has
been on the decline for several years
and that the population Of the coun-
/ is increasing rapidly and conse-
quently the demand for wool greatly
augmented. it would therefore seem
to be almost imperative to encourage
the raising of sheep. In addition to
he increase in population, the de-
mands of the war have greatly in
creased the needs of the government,
ond. too. the war has materially dis
turbed the sheep industry in greater
part of the civilized world. The
world must have wool, it is one OF
the necessities. Nothing can take its
place Mississippi has but one over
hanging shadow to sheep raising and
that is the rowing dog, but the public
mind has about reached the point
that it is ready to curb if not to de-
stroy. this nuisance; hence there
, would seem to be everything to en-
courage the live. wide-awake and in
dustrious boy along this line. This
state has the pasture and the water
and there is nothing in climatic con-
ditions to hinder successful breeding
and raising of sheep. Indeed. 1t
- would seem that almost every hillside
. could be sown in bermuda grass and
the most profitable results realized
Il on sheep raising.
! The Sentinel would suggest that
+ Mississippi boys get in correspond
ence with the Bradley Knitting Com
-. pany While Pig Clubs, Poultr!
g Clubs. ard sundry other clubs are be
ing organized, let the Sheep Clu'
~ come along. too.
There is money in it. Grenad
, county boys, be wise to what tins op
n portunity offers.

ONE DUSTLESS
SPOT IS FOUND
(By Associated Press.)

Basrah, Mesopotamia, March IA
Belt Naamah Is the Mecca of the
wounded, sun-scorched officer sent
down from the Mesopotamian front to
the base at Basrah. af
:. Belt Naamah is indeed a pleasant
place, compared with what the officer
has been used to at the Mesopotamian
front. There are clean, white beds,
electric fans and a broad roof on which
the convalescents lie beneath mosquito
netting and awning and enjoy the cool
breeze. -.-... -.
The hospital stands about twenty
yards from the right bank of the Shat
tel-Arab and occupies some two hun
Edred yards of the river front. Be-
tween the main building and the river
is n grove Of orange trees laden with
fruit, and on the north side another
garden produces grapes, pomegranates
and figs.
The main building is constructed on
the oriental plan of courtyards. Of
which there are three-the mems the
harem or women's, and the outhouses
with the hammam or Turkish bath.
All are built around square gardens
of orange trees.
When it was decided to convert the
long standing Belt Naamah into a hos
pital the nucleus of the staff arrived
the COuTI4dTua 4. Inc
house was full of Arabs and the wom-
en- were still in the harem. while the
sanitary conditions and general filth
of the place were y uncomfortable.
Arabs, women, furniture and all were
cleared out, and everybody turned to
the work Of housekeeping with a will.
A whole village behind the main
house had to be cleared away, cess
pools forty years old had to be filled
up, rooms were scrubbed and
whitewashed, water supply. drainage,
kitchen and sanitary arrangements
planned and executed, and scores OF
minor matters attended to. Gradually
stores and appliances were accum-
uIated, and in about month the hos
pitaI was ready to receive patients.
Every evening nowadays a row OF
convaIescent officers may be seen or
the embankment under the <orangt
trees, peacefully fishing. There is g
fine breeze off the river and the all
\ is free from dust. Many avow tina
here is the only spot in Mesopotamis
which is really free from dust.
The chief event of the days routine
| is the arrival of the steamer, officially
known as "P-33." When her whistle
is heard from beyond the bend, every
one who is able to walk rushes dowT
to meet her. Always there are a few
new patients on board, sometimes the
latest war news, and sometimes letters
from home.
AS a hospital center. Belt Naamah
has been the most successful expert.
ment of it's kind in the east. Eighty
