Bible Cheers
Fighting Men
(By the Rev. Charles Stelzle.)

A closeup experience in the
trenches and hospitals will convince
any man that the Bible is the great
est comforter and inspirer in the
world. This is why it is the best
seller" in the world.
The Bible was written thousands
OF years ago, but nothing that has
since appeared in printed form has
had anything like the same circula.

Men may talk as they please about
other books being inspired" but
when a soldier is about to go to the
front, or when he realizes that he
must get ready for "the roll call up
yonder," he doesn't ask that the chap.
lain or nurse read something to him
from Shakespeare or Milton-he
wants the Bible.
And because this is true, it's fine
thing that the American Bible socie-
ty has for just 100 years been plac-
ing Bibles with soldiers in every not
able war on American or foreign soil.
1t prints the Bible in $50 languages,
and employs over 1000 correspon-
dents for distributing the Bible, in
whole or in parts. Last year about
100000 volumes were distributed
and during the 100 years of it's his
tory nearly 11S,OOO,OOO volumes.
Hundreds of the society's cores
pondents are now busy in the trench
es and training camps giving comics
of khaki--covered Bibles and Tesla
ments to the soldiers.
And it isn't done in a perfunctory
fashion, either. For there's always a
word of advice as to how to read and
what to read, so that the soldier may
get the best use of the Bible.
AS he reads for inspiration, sud.
denly the old book Of Psalms takes
on new meaning. For many of
these old song were written in times
of war or in preparation for war. You
can almost hear the sound of martial
music and the sound of fighting men.
And when comfort is needed, the
Twenty-third Psalm stands out. ia.

Other Scripture there is, to salts
fly every mood and every need.
What the Bible is doing for the
men in the army no man can tell but
here are few snapshots:

DID YOU FILE
AN AFFIDAVIT
Today Was Last Day to Support Your
Claim for Exemption Before Lo-
cal Board.

Today was the last day for the men
examined recently by the Local Ex-
emption Board to file affidavits in sup
port of claims for exemption or dis
charge and those failing to do so au-
tomatically accept liability for service.
Ten days ago today the Board exam
ined the last man called to the colors
in this county and that last man, as
did others examined on the same day,
had until today to prove his claim for
exemption if he filed any.
The Board has three days now in
which to make their final report to
the District Exemption Board. Sum
day, Monday and Tuesday represent
those three days and the Board
expects to put in three days Of hard
work during that time. A correct list
will be made public by the Board at
that time, it was announced.
Prospects are that LeAore county's
quota will be mere than filled. It is
expected that when those ordered to
the colors report for their entrance
examination to the army number
will he rejected. Enough have been
already secured by the Board to take
care of that loss and still have the
county's quota.

NEW UNITS WILL
GO TO JACKSON
Mobilization Camp Will Remain There
and Volunteer Organizations Go
to Capital.

According to reports coming from
jackson, Camp jackson, as the mobil-
ization camp there has been named,
will remain camp and the volunteer
units Of the Mississippi troops will be
mob;lized there Various forces at the
state capital have been hard at work
trying to get the War Department
to make that ruling and judging from
the jackson reports they have more or
less been successful.
A message was received yesterday
from General Woods headquarters at
Charleston, S. c., asking that Camp
Jackson be so arranged as to care for
four thousand men, approximately the
strength Of the Mississippi volunteer
forces.
A committee has also gone to Wash
ington in an effort to secure at jack
son one of the Aviation Training
Schools.
If the Mississippi troops are mobll-
lied at jackson and not at Alexandria
it means that Battery c, of this city,
will go there instead Of to the Louis
lana town. 1t was at first planned to
have the local organization spend two
weeks here, three months at jackson
and then go to Alexandria but that
rlan was later dropped by the War
Department and it was decided to let
each unit camp at their armories un-
til ordered to Alexandria.

FARMER FOUND DEAD.
A. C. Benze Found Dead in Bed on His
Messy Farm Yesterday Morning.

A. C. Benze Found Dead in Bed on His
Messy Farm Yesterday Morning.
Itta Bena, Miss, August ia. G.
Benze was found dead in his bed on
his sO-acre farm at Messy Lake 10
miles south Of here, this morning. AS
there were no marks Of violence it is
thought he died from natural causes.
Mr.. Benze bought the place two years
ago and lived on it entirely alone, hav-
ing little to do with others.
He came here from Duck Hill, but
had spoken of having lived in Ohio
and Wisconsin. He is said to have
been a German by birth and it is not
known whether he was ever natural
lied in this country. He leaves farm
worth $4,000 or $4,000, together with
the crop on it, and other property, and
also cash in banks in this county and
at Duck Hill, the heirs to which have
not been located.
1t is understood he had at times
RENTED money to one A. c. Black,
administrator Of the estate of W. e..
Benze in Ohio, thought to be rela-
tive. This may furnish clue to his
previous residence and locate the heirs
to, his rorerty.
