DR.. Jones Extends Thanks.

wish to extend thanks to all the
kind friepds in the county who assisted
US in raising the Y. NJ. c. A. fund
But for tn ir kindness we could not
have succeeded. We thank each and
every one who contributed to the fund.
While we sought to raise only SiOO, the
sum of S475 was contributed by the
good people of the county.
Now the thing we want further is to
form an organization in the county, to
be known as "The Noxubee County
Christian Association" for the purpose
of supplying our part of the money nec-
essary to keep the Army Y, M. I. A.
supplied as long as the war shall last.
Several have agreed to give one dollar
year as long as the war continues,
and we want a sufficient number to
agree to do this so there will be little
or no tronble in keeping our part of the
money ready to be sent out on demand,
| trust every one who may read this.
and who have not already agreed to DO
so, will address me postal stating that
they will make this contribution Of 81
per year for the length of the war, so
can make roll of all such, and know
to whom can go in future for help in
this great work among our boys.
Don't put it off until some future
time. but just as soon as you read this,
and feel as if you would like to have a
part in this work, write the card imme-
diately and send it in. | want this or
ganization to have president, two
vice. presidents, secretary, and treas
urer, and an executive board, so that
we may be assured that all monies will
wisely administered.
Noxubee is my county and all her in
terests are my interests, and | never
want her to be found wanting in any
good thing. but always be to the front
in every good word and work: | am
one among you to serve, and serve in
any way can help my people. | have
no ak to grind and seek no honors, save
the honor of serving my people.
Again thanking each and every one
who has assisted US, and hoping many
agree to be annual subscribers to the
Y. M. C. A. fund, and will at once no
tify US, | am Very truly yours,
j. .. JONES.

Eat a Banana and Save Bread.

The extract below is taken from
the New York Evening Mall \
mOnth or six weeks ago we would
not have printed it for fear Of do

well known fact by every one who
has tried it that bananas and whis.

do so is dead sure to bring dire re.
suits. Now that the bone dry law
has gone into effect we feel sure
that no one not even : Bill, will
get hurt, and therefore print it for
what it is worth;
"The best way to save -four is to
stop the eating Of bread. But
such advice is worthless unless we
know what to eat instead of bread.

Obstructionists In Senate.

The press o. he country is put
ting on record the words and
deeds Of the senators who are
against this country's
preparation for war; and the pub
lie mind is coming to believe that
the obstructionists are serving
Germany rather than America
and are public enemies, says the
Mobile Register. In time of war
it IS not good policy to permit un-
restricted freedom of speech and
action. We do not know whether
the senator's are true to their coun-
try or not; but they were true.
They are giving aid and comfort
to the enemy; and that ought to
be stopped.

Rev. J. E. Jones is Visiting in
This City.

Rev. J. L. Jones, who was pas
Cor of the Presbyterian church in

1t is now found that the precip.

as a "velvet" profit.
All of which reminds US that

BELGIAN RELIEF COMMITTEE
ACTIVELY AT WORK

The following statement, made in
London, at the headquarters of the
Commission for Relief in Belgium.
was given out by the Associated Press
recently:
we can state positively that not a
single carload, much less a trainload.
or the commissions provisions, once
started for Roubaix or any other town
occupied in Fance, ever failed to ar
rive. Not only is this true, but the
actual figures of the receipt and con-
sumption of the food made out and at
tested by the French local commit
tees at Roubaix, and checked by the
commissions American delegates in
the Lille district, correspond within a
few pounds in the total of many tons
with the figures of the amount of food
stuffs forwarded by the commission
from Holland and Brussels to this dis
trict.
I'm fact, the total receipts of the
whole 1882 French communes provis-
Toned by the commission shows a loss
Of but two-tenths of 1 per cent on
4S5,000 tons of foodstuffs sent in by
the commission from Holland and
Brussels.
With regard to the statement of
Mr.. Whitaker that the Germans had
taken American white -four and sub
stituted rye flour a dulterated with
sawdust, the facts are as follows:
This German -four was not substi-
tuted for any American flour, but was
provided by the Germans from the
native French crop as an addition to
the American ration, and was the same
-four mixture of rye and wheat as
furnished to the German soldiers. This
addition amounted to 100 grammes
daily per person until November.
1916, and now is $50 grammes daily
THE commission feels that the dis
semination Of unverified reports of this
kind tends TO destroy the confidence OF
the charitable world in the work OF
distribution and, therefore, directly
decreases the amount OF food sent to
these people, who, even according to
Mr.. Whitaker's reports, would be starv-
ing but for this food"

THE PRESIDENTS SIGNATURE
MAKES WAR OFFICIAL.

of the war resolution adopted by a
vote of 313 to so by the House a few
minutes after o'clock Thursday morn

to the resolution at Ill o'clock and
from that moment the United States
was officially at war with Germany.
All the naval militia and naval re
serves were called to the colors with
the Presidents signing of the war dec
laration.
Speaker Clark signed the resolution
early this morning soon after its pass
age. 1t was signed at 1914 to-day by
Vice President Marshall There was
no ceremony. The pen he used was
preserved.
No doubt Mr. Wilson will issue a
proclamation to the American people
advising them that a state of war with
Germany exists and recalling to them
their duties in the hour of stress and
danger. The neutral nations of the
world will also be given formal notice.
From now on there will be action, as
sharp and decisive as the state of the
nations preparedness will permit
Steps to further the condition of pre-
paredness are embodied in the army
