There should be no let up in the aid and encouragement
given the Red Cross work.
War Savings Stamp is the five dollar one-the Thrift
Stamps are those in denominations of p cents.
100 No S, G9vsrnment ad before ore ever ever offered ss r d, its % sitizee ss2ips such tna q
Thrift Stamps.
That War Savings Stamp may stamp your name high in
eternity. II you possess it, it can do you no harm and may per-
chance be of much service to your country. And besides, it is
II you do not understand what a War Stamp is after all
that has appeared in the daily press and in the weekly news
papers as well as the advertising matter sent out by the Govern
ment explaining it. then do not say anything about it.
When the ClarionLedger says one thing. then the Daily
news is sure to say Just the opposite. and vice versa. Col. Hen
RVS head is pretty level in urging a wise conservatism on the
part of the Legislature in the matter of tax burdens Just now.
The Red Cross nurse who administers to your son or broth
er with a fevered brow or when wounds are causing his life
blood to ebb away, is very nearly taking the place of Heavenly
visitors. Only the touch OF a woman's hand can meet the re-
quirements OF the sick and wounded wherever they may be.
will move along about as usual. 1t will not do to take ourselves
too seriously about elections. When the election spirit passes
back at what we thought or did during elections and are forced
to admit to ourselves that we at least acted ludicrously. BE
calm. There are no vital issues at stake.
Loan your child 25 cents and tell him to buy a Thrift
Stamp. If you are blessed with more than one child, scrape up
25 cents a piece of money for each of them and encourage them
to buy Thrift Stamps. By so doing you will not only be perform
ing an act of patriotism but may be laying foundations for bust
ness success and financial independence. You want your chllO
to do better than you have done-it IS a sorry parent that does
not.
The mention of President w. H. Smith of the A. & NJ. Col
leee for Governor was of course done without his knowledge
nevertheless. it seems to have sent a chill down the spinal col
umns Of a few politicians lingering around the State Capital VINO
have poked their little lightning rods out where they have hopet
that some gubernatorial lightning would strike them. Mr.
Smith would make the state an able and good governor, IN FAC
he is blessed with too much good sense to undertake anything
than he can not do we'll.
An exchange suggests that it would be we'll for Mr.. Hoover
to stress the idea that the bread regulations are not designed t
save money but to save the bread which our own soldiers mus
have in France and which the soldiers of our Allies must have
if they support our very own boys. Some housekeepers thlnF
perhaps that if they use some other articles of food which cos
more. or even as much as flour. that the Governments demand:
are nil. This is not the correct idea; the Government wants II
save -four because it is the essential food for the army.
The Pontotoc Advance reminds MBsBsppians OF the lac
that the last public appearance of Jefferson Davis before the
Mississippi legislature. and his last public appeal, was to urge
local self-government, and to protect against any other prohibi
forget that States Rights as interpreted a half century, ago, ant
as understood by the President of the Contederacy, mas peer
limboed into the trash pile. Why, we can recall when the blai
Educational bill was before the United States Senate, now ou
own George and most other Southern Senators mvelghet
AGAINST if. but now it is take all Uncle Sam will give u.s.. Un
Gle Sam is now pouring money to be used TOR college ana larH

A certain editor, who was given to understand that II ne
did not sell his newspaper plant in a Mississippi town where ne
