While there are in the entire country no set of
who, a whole loyal to Uncle Sam than those
engaged in the publication of newspapers they feel that
they have been somewhat imposed upon since war
against Germany was declared the government has
called upon them to publish absolutely free great
quantity of matter which is really advertising and which
should rghtfuly be paid for at regular space rates
This is notably true in the recent campaign of Lib
erty Loan Bonds. The Treasury Department sent out
ream after ream Of copy which advertising, pure
and simple and which, if paid for at the usual rates,
would have cost thousands of dollars. The publish
would not object to giving free space to the govern
if people engaged in other activities would dis
play equal generosity This however, is not the case.
Employees in all departments paid good salaries,
while men who furnish supplies making enormous
profits, and there is no reason why the publishers
should not be paid for legitimate advertising matter
which appears in their papers
Senator Cummns of Iowa. has recently introduced
in the Senate bill providing for the creation of a
bureau Of publicity, with paid director who will pre-
pare all advertising matter for the government and
make suitable arrangements with newspapers and

ANOTHER PENITENT.

There hitting the aawduat trail at
lively clip these days, and the incur.
ner's bench IL filled 60 oyerflowinz.
Down NJ Port Gibson there lives q
gentleman named J q. Spencer -
splendid citizen, brave soldier of
the Confederncy, and man Of cour-
age and patriotism.
The only thing we've ever known
concerning j. @. Spencer that was
not all together to his credit WIS his
fondness for Herr J. Kaiser Won
Vardaman, lie has long been wor.
shipper at the shrine Of that false
idol
But Mr.. Spencer, in common with
thousands of others, has had his eyes
opened. lie writes to the editor of
the Vicksburg Herald as follows;
II have, az you know. been Var
daman supporter for years. did my
bit to make his race for the Senate
six years ago the success it was.
With the voters of the State generally
MS consistent opposition to the Pr5si.
dent has had my strong disappr )ba
ton. | have read his interview Of
last Saturday and your comment
today on the same. And ! wish to
say that | more than endorse your
criticism--I think Vardaman's inter-
view an outrage and an insult to his
constituents and especially those who
supported him. And / believe !
voice the popular vote in resenting
his action as reasonable, and calling
for him to resign his place in the Sen
ate."
And that's the way nearly all of
Vardaman's friends who are true
patriots and clear thinking men feel
about it. They have not only desert
ed him, but they insist that he should
no longer represent the State he has
disgraced and humiliated by his Off
cial conduct during the past year.

AMERICA TO HER ALLIES

With singing on their lips
My engineers and artisans,
My captains and their ships;
But yet another sending
Shall greet your lifted glance,
When the eagles Of America
Are on the wing to France.
My fierce white eagles,
They shall gather in their might,
In hundreds and in thousands
They shall circle for the flight
With wings that bear the lightning
With eyes that pierce the night.
My soldiers and my sailors
Shall prove their wrath and will,
My engineers and artisans
Shall serve you Of their skill;
But yet a greater service
The four winds shall advance,
When the eagles of America

My fierce, white eagles
They shall gather for the feast,
Like swift cloud of judgement
They shall turn them to the east,
And God shall steel their talons

COTTON CONSUMPTION INCREASES.

statement recently issued by the Federal gov
ernment shows material increase in the domestic con
sumption of cotton during the past year. According
to this statement American mills during the twelve
months ending August consumed 6,S0l,l88 bales of
lint cotton and s67 309 bales of lnter while the total
consumption of the previous year 6,397,613 bales
of lint cotton and SsO916 bales of nters.
This increased consumption augurs well for the
farmers Of the South, as it means that there is a
healthy demand for the staple and that they will re-
nearing maturity Tie amount of cotton planted in
this immediate section last spring far below the
average but the weather has been favorable and the
YIELD considering the comparatively small acreage de-
voted to the cultivation of the staple will be bounfu
Not only is the cotton crop in the territory con-
tiguous to Columbus much better than last year but
other agricultural products have made splendid progress
and there will be abundant yields Of corn, wheat hay
and other feedstuffs.
The bountiful crops arc due to favorable weather
and it us that the people not only in this sec
ton but throughout the entire South should hold prayer
meetings and render God thanks for sending tn,
rain and sunshine in such equable proportions. Per
haps it is little early to make this suggestion, al

soldier must be comfortably shod and
to do this, requires a new pair of boots
every three weeks, according to stats
tics quoted. Less leather must be
used by the woman accustomed to in
dulging her satorical tastes to prevent
a shoe shortage among the soldiers.
After declaring the fifteen dollar
shoe could not contain that much value,

dealers, Mrs. B. F. Wade, president of
the County Federation of Women's
Club, member of the County Council
and of Laurel, told the representatives
that the eight dollar shoe represented
the limit to which the patriotic woman
would 60 in the purchase of her foot

had informed Mrs. Wade that the nom
purchase of the extravagantly priced
shoes would insure their withdrawal
from the market places.
