G. U. johnson, ITO N Halsted st,
Chicago, H., general sales manager
of the largest concern of its kind 8
the world, wants a man in each
county to work spare time or all the
time, in small towns and among
farmers. Work is pleasant and no
previous selling experience is neces-
sary. Work consists of leaving a
wonderful new household necessity
in the homes on free trial. Tests
at more than 80 OF the leading uni
versities and the government bureau
of standards show this article to be
four times as efficient as articles
now in general use. Earnings as
high as $500 per month. No cspi-
tai required. Goods furnished on
credit to reliable men. Farmers
were never so prosperous. Article is
badly needed in almost every rural
home as it is a new kind ofwhite light
from Kerosene sci on sight. In writ
ing, mention what townships will be
most convenient for you to work in;
what your regular occupation is;
your age, married or sir gle; how
long you have lived in the COM
munity; whether you have rig or
auto; whether you wish to work
spare time or steady; how much
time you will have to devote to the
work; when you can start. A few
lines to Mr.. G. U. Johnson will bring
full particulars.

TO the People OF Tishomingo Co. I:
On September 6. 10l7. | left the
little town of Iuka with sad heart.
When leaving Iuka previous to this
time my heart was all Joy, but this
was quite a different trip. / knew
then | would return soon, but when
left this time | knew chances were
against me in regard to my return.
AS ] stood and gaxed at my friends
before my departure, ! saw the love
drops flow from their cheeks, which
was symbol Of true love. If you
people could have read the secrets
OF my heart at that particular mo-
ment you would have discovered the
secret OF success. / was sad that
| had to go, but proud that / was
able 10 serve Uncle Sam. | am not
in favor of war, nor do | believe
any true American is in favor of
war, but do believe that every red
blooded American is in favor of his
rights. ] hope as result of nv
being here that every home IN the
dear old U. S. A. will enjoy peace
and prosperity and Old Glory will
wave in the air as an emblem OF
peace, sweet peace.
| realize that there are MANY sad
hearts because OF this war, but that
was expected before war was de-
elared. / can see through a vision
friends, sweethearts and parents
gazing into the hickering fire with
head ia hands and studying about
the boys n camp As word OF
consolation | would suggest that
you never worry about us, for we

are engaged in noble purpose.
Our purpose is to uphold the hand
OF our noble President (Woodrow
Wilson, and to show to the world
that Democracy must win.
My intentions are to make a true
soldier and / am fulfilling my in.
tentions. When | get on the firing
line, and / am sure that wont be
long, expect to fight for my friends.
1t seems that many people are fight.
ing for honor, but my purpose is fan
greater than that. | want to- see a
worldwide peace, and | expect 10
see it when Uncle Sans sons reach
the firing line
Friends, do not expect to see
you soon, because we are under a
strict quarantine and probably will
be until the war closes. But | dc
expect to greet you some day with
proud heart So cheer up, and lei
your burdens be removed by the
thoughts of peace, for it is coming
and that soon. ! am expecting tC

than on my departure. Smiles vii

MERCHANT FLEET
GAINING HEADWAY
Especial Star. Bulletin Correspondence,

Especial Star. Bulletin Correspnndenesl
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. S.-A
strong sentiment exists in Washing
ton for greatly enlarged appropr1a-
lions at the next congress for ship
ping. If ideas are carried out as they
have been expressed since congress
made the large appropriations to sup
ply tonnage against the submarine
menace, this nations merchant marine
will be made second only to Great
Britain
Senator Duncan U. Fletcher, chair
man of the senate committee on COM
merce, who led the fight for big
merchant fleet, believes the next
congress should enlarge it's appropria.
tions.
I'VE will have to grant a great deal
more money for shipping" said he.
Development of ample shipping fael-
lities is Of first importance in the
conduct of the war. 1t is highly i'm
portant, too, for the period after the
war.
"The United States should develop
from 100000 to 100000 tons OF
shipping as soon as possible. Inc
nation has lost time in its work or
ship building when the conditions
were much more valuable. IL the
work had been started in 1913 the
steel would have been available for
S45 ton instead Of $3.50 ton now.
The United States had great oppor-
tunity to construct fleet that would
have been highly important at the
present time" ~.
Definite plans for a~ship building
policy will be laid before congress
when the new appropriations are cali
ed for. This will contemplate prepa-
ration for the period to follow the
war.

Chain letters. Ioatched alike by re,

letter. dated at, San Francisco, NOV;
ember 8, and sent to A. l.. Castle

very emphatically that the ASSOCIATION

letter. which is signed by Marshal
Hale, manager of the Pacific dlylslon'
reads as follows:
Last February there was chain

Seattle appealing to the people Ioi
help in building an American hospltai

statements were made without auth

Since the steamer Maverick, which
figures so conspicuously in the lndia

which George Roderick and II. A.

Batavia, Java, for port in the unlteo
States last July, she has never oeen

TRANSPORT Thomas and the schooner

position on the voyage from BataVla
near that of those two vessels at the
time of the big typhoon. -.
Hilo residents, as in September
1915. still maintain that the Maverick
had cargo of contraband aboard

cargo than fuel, which it was claimed,

pilot.
Ever since the mysterious stay OF
the Maverick in Hilo for ten days II

This declaration will have the most beneficial effect and the President instructs me expressly to di- rect you to assure the government of the United States that with the moral support of that government he is firmly convinced of his ability to re-establish order and to give a decisive example for the future with regard to seditious citi- zens and especially as to the military who may violate their sacred duty of discip- line and fidelity. With reference to the military uprising in Santiago, to which your cablegram referred, inform you that It has not extended and that the Presi- dent is sure of dominating that or any other civil or military uprising with the resources in his power and the reinforce ments which already have been sent to those places.'

The reasons are four:
 l. Germany has announced that irrespective of the United States it will prosecute its relentless sub- marine warfare.
 2. Austria has destroyed the American steamer Lyman M. law.
 }. Mexican bandits, under com mand of the raider, Salazar, have again perpetrated an incursion into American territory and taken pris- oners, citizens of the United States.
 4. Fernandez, Cuban revolution ary leader, has patiently defied the protective government of the Uni ted States.
 HOLDING CONGRESS READY As a result of the foregoing, coupled with the fact that Germany has failed tt release citizens of the United State. taken as prisoners of war from the Brit isll vessel Yarrowdale, makes it necessar, that the President hold Congress in ex tra session until every cloud of doub and danger has been dissipated. or tha he demand of Congress practically tn, delegation of authority to declare existing a state of war.
 WASHINGTON IS STIRRED As result of the foregoing. excite ment in Washington tonight is scarcel, without parallel. It is understood tha the government is making strenuous eff
