BIG PROFITS ON
SULPH|TE AND
GROUND WOOD

Ottawa, July 10.-Further evidence
or enormous profit on sulphite and
ground wood was given today at the
inquiry before Commissioner Pringle
into the cost and selling prices of in
gradients entering into the manufac-
ture of news print paper.
The L.aurentide Paper Co., it was
shown, sold more than $4,000 tons of
sulphite in the United States last year
at a profit per ton of almost $40 on
cost price of s35. AS high as S97
per ton had been received, it was ad-
mitted by the company's representa-
tive. In regard to ground wood, it was
shown that the same concern had sold
for S3o a ton material that had cost
$50 and less per ton to produce.
Commissioner Pringle said he could
not understand why there was such
big difference between the cost and
selling figures arrived at by the ac-
countants of the American Federal
Trade Commission after a tour of Ca
madam plants and the higher figures
turned in by the Canadian Manufac-
turers in their statement. H. A. Stew
art, government counsel. expressed the
opinion that it would surprise him if
the American accountants did not sue
coed in upholding their findings if they
came before the commissioner.
Mr.. Stewart suggested to the COM
missioner that an effort be made to
have them come to Ottawa to testify.
The commissioner said he would like
to have them come. Gordon MacDou-
sal, who represented some of the man.
ufacturers. remarked that his informa-
ton was that the chairman of the fed :
eral trade commission had resigned in
protest against the figures arrived at
by the members.

PLANS OF FARM BUILDINGS
IN THE SENTINEL OFFICE,
Interested Parties Are Invited to
Come in and See the Scope of
the Plans.

The Sentinel has in its office {
number of blue prints of farm build
ings. issued by the Agricultural En-.
cheering Department of the A. & NJ
College, and invites all interested
parties to come in and inspect these
plans.
The Department of Agricultural
Engineering has devoted u
thought to the formation of these
plans. They r made with condi-
lions in Mississippi in mind. There
are plans of almost any kind of up
to-date building that any farmer is
likely to need. There are plans for
dwellings, tenant houses. hog-pens,
concrete and wooden silos, h e n
houses, cattle barns, general purpose
barns, and, in fact. for almost any
building necessary.
The Department issues these plans
free to Mississippi farmers. All the
farmer has to do is to write to the
Department just what plans he de-
sires, and they will be sent within a
few ~days-just as soon as the blue
prints can be made.
If you are likely to want anything
of this nature, come into The Senti-
mel Office and look over the plans.
See what you want, obtain the num-
Der of the plan. and send your re-
quest to the Agricultural Engineer
ing Department. The plans in The
Sentinel Office are not to be taken
away from the Office. They merely
serve as samples.
The Sentinel is always willing and
ready to help in the Improvement of
farm life, for it realizes that the
farming industry is the one preemi-
nent industry.

Is commonly called "~chicken-poX" has
afflicted different families in Grena-

several days ago Supt. Campbell, of

81 little indiscretion on his part. suf-
tered last Sunday a relapse, but even
then was able to he up and about his
room. But from Mr.. Campbell's
illness a scare ensued and a few be-
came almost panicky, with the result
that the board of trustees We're adj
visej to suspend the city schools un-
til April %. Accordingly the trus-
tees met and passed the suspending
order mad several of the teachers
went home pending the resumption of
school. On Wednesday morning the
trustees met again and passed an or
der for the resumption Of school next
Monday, April 1G, but only those
children are to be allowed to attend

QUESTION CLEARED UP.

Doubt the Evidence.

Again and again we have read of

been cured by this or that medicine
but G~renada's pertinent question has
always been Has anyone here in

of a stranger living a hundred miles

COMING-"THE BIRTH ID
OF A NATlON.'

D. W. Griffith's master production
"The Birth of a Nation" will be the
attraction at the Grenada Opera
House, commencing an engagement
of two nights and matinee, on April
so, and May /.
1t will be brought here in exact
reproduction of the greatest attrac-
ton which is nov in New York,
where it has broken every record of
the American stage. These achieve
ments alone have aroused more COM
ment upon the subject of this great
story than was ever devoted to a the
atrical enterprise before.
The merest statement regarding
"The Birth of a Nation" leaps to
superlatives because there is no 9TH
err form in which it can be written.
Simple facts in relationship to its de-
velopments sound extravagant until
you have seen the production and
realized u 1.-THE of it's sweep and pow
err. 1t overs the essential details of
American history ranging through
three centuries. Actual battles are
shown with ems of thousands of SOL
diers in the conflict. $4,000 people
participated in the telling of the
story. Three thousand horses were
used to give the cavalry and other
thrilling effects of the wild dashes ov-
er miles OF territory. Cities were
built up only to be destroyed by fire.
The total cost of the entire produc-
ton was in the neighborhood of
100000. Five hundred costumers
and seamstresses worked for three
months to make the costumes worn
by the people. 10000 yards of cloth
worked into the costumes worn
by the women, while $4,000 yards of
white muslin were used up on the
of the Ku Klux Klansmen.
And yet with all this a simple, human
story of love and a weaves
the vast spread of the action
and grips the hearts of the audience.
The narrative is filled with tears and

STATEMENT FROM
DR.. feathers.

Having been called to Grenada to
consult with some of the local ply
sicians in regard to the character of
an illness which has been affecting
the community for some weeks and
having examined four different cases,
| desire to assure the public that
there is no need for alarm. How
ever, we are all learning the lesson
of safety first" hence it is my adj
vice to the community to be vacci-
mated, which is an absolute proof
against small poX. regardless of any
differences Of opinion Of what the
disease may be. This is safety. and
no one can say it is not the wise
course to pursue.
Everybody who has not been vacci-
mated should do so and those who
were vaccinated more than seven
years ag should be vaccinated again.
1t is also desirable for those who
have been v|accinated in recent years
and in whom the vaccine did not take
well to be re~-vaccinated.
| think the board of trustees of the
city schools acted wisely in suspend
ing school for the time being, but in
stating this | do not mean that the
children should not be vaccinated.
| had the opportunity of visiting
the patients under the medical are
of DR.. j. S. Sharp, and | wish to
thank him for the courtesies which he
accorded me, and | desire to say that
the above statement to the public is
made at his instance. | also wish to
thank DR.. J. w. Young, city health
officer, for courtesies extended me
in Grenada.
