Why the Recall Is Necessary

IF wanted to neutralze the efforts of the nation in
its work of carrying the successful conclusion,
the first thing | would do would be to start out
pacs for believe that there is the greatest field for
evil doing, when it to hinderng the government,
that be found"
So declared John III. Walker. president of the State
Federation of Labor of Illinois, in addressing meeting of
the Commonwealth club Monday night in Seattle.
Walker speaks truth that cannot be denied.
II is for that very that the recall of Miss Anna
Louise Strong. member of the school board, is
American necessity.
The recaers will make serious mistake If they
attempt to charge Miss Strong with actual violations of
the law against the draft otherwise of which she not
guilty
unyieldng pacifist
With convictions of that kind her place as a public
official is inconsistent with American aims and purposes
of the present time America is in great lfeanddeath
struggle in to the finish. Her public officials
give her all the aid and comfort possible. Individual de-
mands and desires must go by the board when govern
ment need is considered The country first in the
present emergency. Everything else is secondary.
With Miss Strong her personal convictions pacifist
come first Her recall therefore, is imperative.

MRS MARY LAMB.

It,
I On Nov. IA the spirit Of Mary
Lamb, wife of Samson Lamb, took
it's flight from this world of sorrow
and pain to>the city of God.
She had been a great sufferer for
several months, but she bore all this
with great fortitude, knowing that
Cod does all things well.
| knew her when a school girl and
can truthfuIly say that she never
was dishonest to her teacher and
schoo mates. While | was her teach
er | stayed in. her home and knew
more about her lovely character.
What ever mother or father did for
her she was satisfied and never COM
planned.
| also was present when she took
the marriage vow, which she lived
nobly to to the end Of life. At the
age of 13 years she joined the Bap-
list church and lived a eonseerated
Christian life ever after.
She leaves one little son, bonner
and a devoted husband, i @
mother and father to mourn her
death.
Samson Lamb was a true and de-
coted husband to her, doing all in
his power to make her happy while in
health and being her closet and best
friend till God took her spirit away.
Grieve not kind husband and little
son for she is with God.

THE DEADLY

Until lately it was not known
whether a disease-spreading mosquito
could infect more than one person.
Recent experiments of the public
health service of the United States
government have proved that an IN
fected malarial mosquito can infect
several persons without again OBJ
tanning blood from an original
source Of infection, and that an in
feet mosquito retains her ability to
infect with malaria for at least rs
days. Even if a mosquito empties
her available supply of malarial para
sites into one mar she may infect a
second man a few hours or a few
days later through a new generation
Of parasites. This is a most import
ant discovery for it shows that the
Individual disease-laden insect is 9
veritable maclaine-gun in point Of
danger, and it emphasizes the neces-
sity for stamping out the breeding
places Of the malarial mosquito.

CARD OF THANKS

Dear kind friends of Tupelo:
We take this means of thanking
you for the many great kindnesses
and deep sympathy shown us during
the recent illness and death of our
dear son and brother.
When we try to find words to ey-
press our gratitude we find that mere
words seem too cheap and inadequate
to do so.
May God bless and protect you all
from sorrow and misfortune as deep
as ours and may the bread you cast
upon the waters return to you all and
fill your hearts with peace and JOY
beyond expression.
Again thanking you, each and ev-
cry one, and asking that the richest
blessings of God be with you all.
We are your grateful friends,
Mrs. Virginia Wright,
Miss Beulah Wright and
Ivey Wright.

PETITION FOR PARDON.

Hon. Theodore G. Bilbo, Governor of
Mississippi:
We, w. b. Threlkeld and the UNI
dersigned officers and citizens of Lee
county, the home of said w. B.
Threlkeld, respectfully petition your
Excellency to pardon said w. b.
Threlkeld for the following reasons I:
He has been in the penitentiary
about two years. He is a man 81
years of age. He has been in ex-
ceedingly feeble health for several
years. We believe that his health
has been such for several years that
his mind at times has not been nor
NAL. We believe this was the condi-
ton of his mind when the homicide
was committed. The two years in
the penitentiary has been an exceed
ingly heavy punishment on him in
view of his state of mind and body.
Now our judgment is that the ends of
justice have already been subserved
without his remaining longer in con-
fnement. At the time of the homi-
eide w. B. Threlkeld was laboring I'M
der great excitement and conceived
that he had great provocation. We
do not mean by this that he was JUS
titled in law, but we only mean that
in our judgment it ought to be ON
sidered in passing on the question of
a pardon.
Respectfully submitted,
35-5t w. B. Threlkeld & Others.
