OKOLONA MISS. JUL IL 1917

Two meetings of the Red Cross
Auxiliary have been held within
the past week at the Baptist
church Friday night and at the
Methodist church last night.
The different committees report
ed progress and the work con-
tinues. Five hundred members
is the goal set and the member
ship committee will not cease to
work until that mark is reached.
The Red Cross is one Of the
worlds best organizations. It's
work is altruistic and deserves
the support Of all men at all
times, but I.ore especially when
people are suffering in every
quarter of the globe.
The work Of the Red Cross is
neutral. 1t cares for all alike and
it should have the support of all a
like. Wherever humanity suffers
it goes to alleviate, sootho and
save. 1t knows no enemy, and
no civilized being dares modest
it in its work.
When you heII the Red Cross
Society you help humanity where
help is most needed. Join in
and help along.

The farmers were asked to plant
corn with the promise that there
would be good market fqE the
surplus. In their response They
will haveNa very large surplus to
dispose of. 1t is up to the bust
ness men to see that they have
the best market obtinable.
There is no doubt now that there
will be good market, but OBJ
tanning the market to the best
advantage is another proposition.
1t cannot be obtained by the old
methods of handling of corn in
this county by co-operated ship
ments of ear corn. We must
have more up-to-date methods Of
preparation and sale to get the
best market prices. The ques-
ton is how are we going to
handle this corn? We under
stand there is only one way to
this proposition and that is for
some man or set of men with the
financial backing to put in a
elevator. AS we understand the
elevator way of handling corn,
they buy the ear corn from the
wagon, just as cotton has been
sold here for a number Of years,
then they shell and sack the
corn and ship anywhere the corn
is wanted.
Now, Mr.. Business Men, why
not get busy and build an eleva-
tor here? We plenty of room
to build any size needed. tits i'm
possible to estimate the value ofan
elevator to a town. It will en-
courage farmers to come here to

PRICE OF FOOD
STILL GOING UP

The cost of living is becoming
intolerable. Upon even the flimsiest
excuse prices of foodstuffs are
raised, and if no excuse exists they
are boosted on general principles.
Millions of people who are depend
ent upon their daily labor find it
almost impossible to keep soul and
body together. In hundreds of
thousands of cases their vitality is
slipping away from pure lack of
sufficient nOurishment. Yet in the
very face of this the Unsuitable
food spectators and profit grab
bers are turning the screws tighter
every day. There appears to be
but one way in which this sucking
of the blood of humanity can be
stopped, and that is for the gov
eminent to take prompt action
and fix a maximum price at which
every article of food is to be sold,
and in fixing the maximum the price
should be first scheduled down to
normal. The fact that a scarcity
in foodstuffs exists should not be
accepted as an excuse for allowing
prices to remain at their present
outrageous figures. And the same
action should be taken with refer
ence to every article of necessity
that we use.

MISGUIDED THRIFT

bhot touiAOht W ~ thio hi'hhche -
misguided thrift" declares a state
ment issued by S. w. Straus, Pres
ident Of the American Society for
Thrift.
'Tn our efforts to be periodically
economical, we find ourselves going
to extremes in the opposite direc-
ton, which is just as great a
menace as wastefulness' and ex-
travagance," said he. "One Of the
worst calamities that could befall
our nation at any time would be
to stop the wheels of industry, but
more especially NOW.
"The point is to differentiate be-
tween destructive and constructive
thrift. Tn times Of peace or war,
waste is reprehensible, but indis-
criminate tight-fstedness is worse,
because in such conditions the
provident are made to suffer with
the ihprovident.
Because the. whole nation sud-
denly has become conscious of the
necessity of thrift, we as individ-
uals should take care not to defect
from their normal courses the tides
of the nations money that turn
the wheels of industry. America
as a nation is not in any danger
of running short of money, but we
are threatened with a food short
age because on us rests the duty
and responsibility of feeding our
allies.
Everyone can distinguish the
difference between prudent living
and wastefulness. If a man buys
suit of clothes, a pair of shoes
or a hat, his money goes into legiti-
mate circulation and Furnishes
uses for capital and employment
for labor.
"The American people have re-
sponded in a grand way to the
needs of the hour. We are going
to conserve our resources and in
crease our food supply in a way
that will astonish the world, but in
doing this we stand face to face
with economic hardships unless
each individual is governed by com
mon sense, prudence and foresight.
"In brief, administer your ex-
penditures in a clean, honest, legiti-
mate and patriotic manner. Elimi-
nate waste of food, bearing in mind
that every mouthful you save may
be the sustenance of some starving
fellow human being abroad. We
should not tear down on one hand
while we are trying to build up on
the other. Those in business
should not hesitate-be courageous
and keep on going. America has
everything to make herself prosper
Gus. The billions of dollars which
are being raised for war. purposes
will eventually return into the pock-
cts of the people. Even the money
which We loan to our allies is being
spent Immediately in America. The
national bond issue means that for
some years to come this country
will be paying back the obligations
incurred today. America is still in
the midst of the greatest era of
material prosperity the country has
ever known.
'In the matter of individual ex-
penditure every man should be
guided by his own necessities and
the needs of his country. Let none
of us be a Stacker in the business
world. This is no day for the
coward or weakling. Be brave and
confident. Remember the most
acute need of our nation TODAY is
intelligent, productive, constructive

I'm Ancient Times.
In ancient times the people from
all parts OF the country pilgrimed
20 Jerusalem for this feast. and of
fered sacrifices and Thanksgiving
within the PRECINCTS OF the holy tenn
pie. During the festival, the peo-
pie dwelt in frail huts and we're
thus reminded Of the divine loving
kindness that had been manifested
10 their fathers i'm the wilderness.
The booth which the modern Israel
tie decks for the Feast of Taberna-
cles is the symbol of Gods provi-
dence upon His beneficence. The
booth is symbolical OF life. of mans

strangers and sojourners; our DAYS
on earth are a shadow and there is
no abiding. (Chron. xxx. 15).

God for their use. The heathens
celebrated the harvest and the vint

These festal plants and the booth
