Don't get the idea that it is not
up to you to buy Liberty Bonds.
Don't go around with the Impress
ion that you have done your part
if you have subscribed to any or
all of the three preceding loans.
There are certain whisperers who
would like to have you believe
that this is "rich mans war"
Such people either are on the
kaiser's pay roll, or ought to be.
This is your war in every sense of
the word. The man in olive draD
and steel helmets are fighting
your battles, and don't you forget
it. They are fighting your war in
Europe, in order that it may not
have to be fought on this side of
the water. The kaiser hopes to
defeat the allies, seize England's
navy and bring the war to Ameri-
can soil. At least he did hope to
do SO, before American men and
American Liberty Loan money
and and American ships built
with American money and man.
ned by American seamen started
him back toward Berlin. And
don't forget that it will take more
men and more money, a great deal
more, to keep him travelling. This
war is not over yet, and it is your

ANOTHER DEMAGOGUE.

Doubt as to what gubernatorial
candidate the local Bilbo-Varda-
man-Anybody organ would sup
port has been pretty we'll dis
PEELED.
It has settled upon Lieutenant
Governor Lee Russell, and the
choice is a most fitting one.
There is not more dangerous
demagogue in the state of Miss
issippi than this same lieutenant
governor.
His elevation to the governors
position would be a step back
ward for Mississippi that would
almost offs the victory over
Vardaman and the defeat Of Bill
DO. To those who have followed
closely the career of Lee Russell,
there are many reasons why he
should be retired to private life.
Most of all he seeks office through
the age-old tricks of the deceiver
of the uneducated and the un-
reasoning.
He is of the sort with Varda-
man and Bilbo and deserves an
adjoining cell in the oblivion to-
ward which they are both headed.
The support of the organ in
question is enough to damn him
in the eyes Of the men who really
have a love of Mississippi in their
hearts.-Jackson News.
This brings to mind another
fact which will operate against
Lieutenant Governor Russell and
otheGs, perhaps, in the coming
contest for governor. Russell is
young, and had to register for
war service under the new man

THE FOURTH LOAN is THE
FIGHTING LOAN.

AS the campaign for the Fourth
Liberty Loan approaches the A.
merican Army in France moves
on toward Berlin. Under our own
leaders the great American Army
has wona notable victory. !.
The Fourth Loan must be q
great success. The Fourth Liber-
ty Loan is a fighting loan.
When our soldiers on. the bat
tie front are Drawing deatn, each
one offering to make the supreme
sacrifice for his country and the
great cause, we who remain safe
ly at home surely should give
them every support, should make
every sacrifice to strengthen
them. If we cannot fight our
selves we can make our dollars
fight.
It is a great cause for which
America is engaged in this war
it is a great struggle in which the
very hope Of the world is bound
up that is being waged in Europe
and on the high seas. It is an
honor to have a part in it and
all Americans, all Of their lives,
will be proud of the part they
had in it or ashamed Of their fall
ure to do their part.
The Fourth Loan is a fighting
loan. Every subscriber to the
loan strikes blow for Liberty,
for Victory.

PRICE FIXING OF COTTON I'M
PROBABLE.


R. M. Gates, Washington cor
respondent Of the Commercial APP
peal, says that apparently there
will be no direct fixing Of the
price of cotton by executive ac-
ton. The chairman Of the war
industries board, says that the ne
cessity for fixing the price of the
staple should be obviated by the
committee on cotton distribution,
headed by Charles Grand.
The difficulty, as the chairman
Of the board sees 1t, lies in the
fact that the civilian demand is
for high grade cotton and the re-
fusal to accept low grade cotton
are responsible for the instability
in prices. The governments re-
Quirements also are for the high
er grades of cotton, and the COM
mittee expects to force the lower
grade Of cotton on the market for.
civilian use. This will bring up
the price of lower grade cotton,
which is now being largely held
in the stocks awaiting higher
prices. The effect Of this should
also be the lowering of prices
on high grade cotton. Mr.. Bar
UGH, the chairman Of the commit
tee, thinks that this will meet
both the government and civilian
demands. The only result that
would be derived from price fix
ing would be to get all Of the cot
ton available on the. market, he
said. The question of stimulating
production is causing no alarm,
since the planters are producing
all they can.
That there will be no direct
price fixing fat covering cotton
is the opinion Of w. B. Thompson,
former president Of the New Or
leans Cotton Exchange, who has
been one Of the leaders in the dis
cussions Of the cotton situation.
Mr.. Thompson pleaded with the
cotton specialists of the war IN
dustries board not to embark the
government in the cotton bust
ness. Discussing the matter, Mr.,
Thompson said:
II think the cotton situation has
been clarified considerably, al
though the main difficulty, which
is the possibility Of price fixing,
has not been removed definitely.
As the matter stands-as / see it
the cotton purchase committee
of the. war industries board will
sallot to the different governments,
as we'll as to the agencies Of the
United States government, the
proportion Of lower grades which
I they must buy, with the higher
grades, thereby preventing any Of
the nations or agencies mentioned
from specializing on particular
grades and causing q semi-corner.
Of those grades, as was the case
last year. In that connection the
work Of the. committee should be
beneficial.
The other function Of the COM
nittee, to-wit, to purchase cotton.
Tor the United States government
and allied needs, is fraught with
|. rood deal of disturbing uncer-s
staiAty, i1ssseuch As'the consnittss
The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1918-09-26

would be practically the only buy
er in the market and thus. By indi-
rection, fix the price Of cotton.
"The effort is being made to OBJ
viate this result, and hope Il will
succeed. / do not believe tho gov
eminent will issue any direct
price fixing fiat. l feel satisfied
that the cotton committee Of the
war industries board. which is
charged with The duty Of conduct
ing an Investigation along this
line, will find in the first place
that direct price fixing il wholly
unnecessary, and will, not only be
injurious, to the producer but will
embarrass the government as
we'll.

RUSS MIDDLE GLASS
 WANT ALLIOF ACTION
But ii They Will Not Intervene. Let the Germans Take iI-OSses.
 sion Is Their Attitude.

Vologda, Russia July 15.-If the Entente allies will not intervene. let the Germans come, is the attitude of the formerly wealthy and middle clas- ses of the people of Russia. Most of them here would frankly welcome foreign intervention.
 This feeling has been the greatest obstacle in any attempt to bring the Russian internal political revolution out of the whirlpool of disorder. ac- cording to information in the foreign embassies here.
 Now that the peasants and work men are having their innings. the property classes are beginning to feel the pinch of denial and even of star vation, experienced by the poorer clas- ses in Russia for centuries. This is illustrated by the experience of the "bourgeois" family ill whose home the Associated Press correspondent lives as paying guest"
 This family, once one of the wealth fest in the Vologda government own ed of acres of timber land. several lumber mills, dozen ships, two glass factories and more than 2.OOO acres of land.
 This H what has happened to those holdings in the past two months:
 The lumber land has been declared a government monoply and confiscat- ed; likewise the shipping. The glass factories and lumber mills have been taken over and are opErated by the workmen. The peasants have taken the land.
 A few days ago the city govern .ment (soviet) imposed special tax onAthe capitalistic class. The family was assessed 50.000 rubles.
 Prices for foodstuffs. when obtain- able. are enormous even when figured at the present rate of international exchange-which these Russians don't get, because their money is old

 White flour. cannot:be bought, except by stealth and in the tiniest quali- ties. The black flour which all use now makes the blackest of bread. The poorest peasants formerly ate some thing similar. The cost of this flour formerly was the equivalent of about 25 cents per pood (36 pounds)
 At present in VOlogda, each per- son is allowed 5 pounds of this flour a month: enough to permit about three thin slices Of bread per. day. But more is .procurable through ire gular channels. The correspondents host bought a pood yesterday for one hundred and; fifty rubles; just three hundred times the old price.
 There is nothing else quite as bad as this, but, with meat, butter and all other foodstuffs the rrices are from ten to fifty times the old amount. Everything is by card: that is. purchases are limited and city (so- vieD controlled, but it is quite pos 'sible, if one has enough money. to se- cure larger quantities by stealth.
 But the soviet has quite an effect i've way Of controlling this under tlanded trading-the "obusk.i1 "O- busk" is Russian for search. A dog en or so armed soldiers and Red guard swoop down now and then on the house the correspondent occu- pies and confiscate the surplus sup plies.
 When to these difficulties are add ed confiscation of bank accounts of wealthy families their plight can be imagined.
