Price, One Bottle.

The movie, or "cinema" as 1t is
called there, has become an extraordi-
nary social influence In England. In
the villages which have grown up
around the "coal-pits,' in which many
of the houses consist of only one
room, and lack all the evidences of
civilization, one can always be sure
of finding public house and ''cine-
ma" Some of the proprietors of these
clnemas do not charge a coin for adj
mission in the case of children. In
stead of money, the child presents a
bottle, which is sold to the manufae-
turer of liquor, and afterward returned
to the public house of the same village,
to begin again its round to the parent
of the child, to the movie, to the dis
tillery and back to the saloon.-Chris-
tian Herald.

First Rombino Balloons Futile.

The first bomb dropping balloons
were humble enough and equally fu-
tile. Balloons had been used in war
as early as the siege of Maubeuge by
the Austrians for observation pur-
poses. The first talk of bomb drop
ping was in 1912, when the Russians
were said to have had a huge balloon
for that purpose; but nothing was
done with it. In 1S47, however, the
Austrians, when attacking Venice,
sent up paper fire balloons, which were
TO drop bombs into the town. But they
forgot to allow for contrary air cur
rents. The balloons got into such a
current and. drifting back over the
Austrian line, bombed them, instead
of Venice.

ago to one who questioned him for
further information about bees, THAI
he had observed curious fact in re-
gard to the individualities of bee col

with the same surroundings and the
same possibilities for gathering honey,
yet one of these colonies will do twice
the work of the other In his opinion
this difference is caused by the person

finds, being much fiercer and more en-

above figures are substantially cor
rect.
It is true there is a powerful in
fiuence working and will be brought
to bear on the Board of Commission
ers to induce them to. build this high
price road. but the people of this
county need two hundred miles Of
roads. The question is shall we
build sixty miles or two hundred
miles, WHICH?
l will say for the Board Of Super
visors and Commissioners that they
have no fixed plans, and that they
have spent a great deal of time in
investigating and have the interest Of
the county at heart and will do their
duty to the best Of their ability. The
Board of Commissioners expect to
start building roads extensively in
April and I hope that within two
years LeAore County will have at
least two hundred miles Of as good
improved roads as there is in the
world.

Since the threatened rupture Of re-

Germany, the policemen and fireman
Of Pittsburg have been wearing small
silk American figs pinned on their
coats. The flags were purchased by
the city department of public safety.
James W. Gerard, the American
Ambassador who is on his way home
from Germany, will be greatly missed
by the Allies, as he had charge Of
their affairs since the outbreak Of the
European war.
1t is reported that Germany has de-
cided to call to the colors all officials
of trade unions and Socialist organ
izations. These officials aggregate
10000 in number and have been ex-
empt from military service.
Speaker Whittet Of the Wisconsin

great tension over political affairs,
more so as Washington says it is not

will ask authority to deal with any

The Daily Commonwealth, Greenwood,
Miss,
Dear Sirs:
The road article in your issue Of
February 10Th, with head lines, "Road
Building Soon To Begin," would indi-
cate that your information was from
the Board of Supervisors or Commits
sioners. Among other things you
said, "The plan now is to have the
principle thoroughfares each way
through the County built of some hard
road material such as concrete or as
phalt, and the other roads, which are
to connect main thoroughfares to be
built of gravel. This plan when COM
pleted will make all of LeAore Coun-
tvs roads dry-roads and the main
lines of traffic practically everlast-
ing"
l know Of no such plan as this so
far as the Board of Supervisors and
Commissioners are concerned. In
your article you said the main traffic
way would be built Of a permanent
type of road either concrete or as
phalt. / take it that you mean the
road North and South through the
County, from Schlater west to the
county line, from Itta Bena west to
the county line. The balance Of the
roads to be built of gravel.
For your information and that of
the public l will state that road

Schlater road six and one third miles,

ing With Endorsement of Business Men.

more than her part Of the great men
of the South and of the country. He
pointed out that today there are more
native Mississippians in the United
States Senate than from any other
state in the Union. Prior to the
death of the late Senator Clarke of
Arkansas there were seven native
Mississippians in that body. Mr..
Wilson lauded the part that Missis-
sippians have taken in the past and
said that he was sure that some of
the members of the Battery would
prove to be men Of like calibre. In
concluding he offered his services as
private in the ranks. He was ac-
cepted as an associate member.
DR.. Henderson, the next gentleman
introduced, in a few chosen words,
gave full endorsement to the move
ment and stated that he has known
many who were connected with differ
ent military organizations and did not
know of one who seriously regretted
joining. Aside from the patriotic
view to be taken of the organization
of such Battery DR.. Henderson said
that it would prove a benefit to every
young fellow joining in every way.
Gen. Keesler in a short speech told
of the time he was presented with his
sword by one of Greenwood's fairest
ladies and of how happy he was made.
He said that it was we'll for every
young man to become connected with
some military organization and that
the Artillery was the best to belong
to. He then introduced Major O'Fer-
rail- and invited any who were pres
ent. to ask the Major questions about
anything they didn't understand re-
garding the Battery. The Major very
clearly explained the organization Of
the Battery, detailed the equipment
and pointed out that it would benefit
a young man morally, physically and
mentally to belong to such an organi-
cation. He added that those who be.
longed to military organizations
would become officers and non-com-
missioned officers should war come
and that those who later volunteered
would be forced to join the regular
army as privates.
The Major clearly brought out that
after the required 1873 men were
raised for the Battery another man
could not buy membership with ten
thousand dollars. When that number
is reached the Battery is complete
and more or not needed.
Major O'Ferrall said that he felt
like Greenwood was home to him, the
people Of this city treated him so nice
" while he was stationed here recruit
ing for the State Guards, and that ne
wanted to see the town get one OF the
three Batteries given to the state.
Additional enlistments have been
secured today and the required NUM-
Der Of 1873 men are expected to be
signed up within the next few days.
Major o'Ferrall left today for India
nols but will be back In the city
