propositions. and will be called on to
pass upon them.
Chairman Johnson will do his ut
most to secure the passage of the
telephone bill. The fact that the Dis
trIct Committee has ordered this re-
ported means that the efforts of oppo-
nents of Government ownership to
keep the telephone issue from con-
fronting the House. as indicated when
they threw two of the Johnson bills
to the Postofrice Committee. have
failed.
is believed that the House, when
the test comes. will go on record for
Government ownership both OF the
telephone and Of the street railways.
Congressman Crosser was authoriz-
ed to prepare and make the report on
the street railway bill.
The bill as to street railways own
ership is the bill which Mr.. Crosser
has long urged. II is the same that
twice reported.
ID. C. Heads In Charge.
The Crosser bill provides for the
ownership OF the street railways in
the District by the District Govern
ment. The District Commissioners are
to be the controlling authorities. The
value Is to be determined by the Pub
lie Utilities Commission.
The Johnson telephone bill Is framed
along the line OF the measure which
former Congressman "Dayy" Lewis
urged when he was In Congress. II
provides that the Postmaster General
shall be in control OF the system. but
A. l..

the country due to the war. which
makes conditions much more favor
able for the proposal. The telephone
system here has failed to give the
service the public demands and Is
clamoring for more pay. The street
car facilities are notoriously in
adequate
While Il Is fully anticipated that
the enemies OF public regulation and
ownership and friends Of special priv
ilege will make q hard fight, II is
believed they will be overcome.
Mr.. Crosser will at once begin work
on his report. He plans to make q
Comprehensive report. He said today
that he was much pleased over the
fact that the two bills have been or
dered reported.
II have no doubt there will be
thorough discussion OF public owner

the members thought there should
be delay and hearings, but Mr..

buildings must be of substantial con-
struction.
ITO expedite the early completion
OF the automatic installation, the COM
pany must count on some Immediate
relief in the form OF an order from the
Utility Commission. Unless as a war
measure the commission asks the people
to eliminate unnecessary calling. the
company will be compelled to continue
expanding large sums on installation Of
temporary equipment to care for such
calls.
'Tf the commission and people of
Washington will manifest toward the
company a measure of confidence and
good will in this serious crisis, II will
go very far toward aiding the COM
pany in securing the millions neces-
sary to make the change and to make
provision for the future growth of the
system.
"As President Wilson said in his let
ter to the Secretary OF the Treasury:
1T IL essential that these utilities
should be maintained at their max
imum efficiency. and that everything
reasonably possible should be done
with that end in view"
The new system will be operated by
a dial. By, turning numbers on this
dial to correspond to the number you
desire and pushing a signal the con-
nection will be made automatically.
II will save considerable time in
making connections. said Mr.. Sylvan.

The parents of the children of the

itary Institute and the pupils of these
schools desire to return their sincere
thanks to Mr.. w. X. Wilson and son,
Ward, and Mayield Reese for their
thoughtful work in clearing off the
snow from the sidewalks Sunday at
ternoon so that the children could
reach school Monday morning without
wading through the deep snow that
had fallen. With improvised snow
plows the snow was very effectively
moved and pedestrians were enabled
to get about with much greater COM
fort Monday morning. Mr.. Wilson is
a very thoughtful trustee and during
cold weather visits the graded school
buildings very early in the morning to
see that the buildings r properly
heated. He takes great interest IN
these matters and certainly is EMIT
led to tn thanks of tn public.

CHIROPRACTIC

The Chiropractic adjusts the cause
of disease and lets nature cure. 1t
makes no difference what part of the
human organism is affected, lack OF
nerve function is causing the condi-
ton, and the lack of proper nerve
nourishment is brought about by an
impinged condition of the nerves at
one or another or several of the YER
tebrae.
No "dope" is going to put new life
into these nerves. 1t may deaden
pain temporarily causing a relieved
condition for a time but just so long
as the pressure exists on the nerves
radiating from the spine, just so long
will there be trouble. Take a hose
and turn on the water and the flow is
all right until you put a pressure on
it, and it then slacks up or stops al
together, according to the pressure.
So it is with the nerves
RECOVERY: The rapidity with
WHICH OICCu OSCulo oo w
suit of expert Chiropractic adjust
ments, seems to those without exper-
fence, almost incredible. The time is
coming when everybody will have
their spine adjusted, thereby adding
a to their lives and life to their
years.
We assure you there are no en-
barrassing examination, as u ex-
aminations are all made from the
spine. Investigate. Get the Idea. If
you will call at our office we will be

BUSINESS NOTICE

At the beginning Of the New Year
I want to thank my friends and pa
irons for their very liberal business
for the past.
/ now want to say that during the
year 1918, / will not do any credit
business at all. / shall keep no books
whatever land will sell goods and
barter only for cash. Please do not
ask us for credit as it is always I'M
pleasant to refuse friends, but / have
adopted the cash policy and you must
not embarrass me by asking for cred
it. Last year when everybody was
fiat, we felt it almost a necessity to
extend a little help which we did
gladly, but this year we do not feel
that it is necessary, and while it is
not casting any reflections on any
body we find that the losses on credit
sales are greater than the profits,
consequently if l continued on the
present system it would only be a
question of time when l would be
forced into bankruptcy.
Thanking you again for all past
business and promising the best quail
ity of goods and service, | remain,
with best wishes for a prosperous
year for all of you.

H. T. MOORE

A message from his home in War
land, Montana, to W. P. Moore, of
this city was received on the night
of the 22nd, inst, announcing the
sudden death of his brother, S. T.
Moore. The message stated that Mr..
Moore dropped dead at the noon
hour, but no further particulars have
been received.
Tom Moore, as he was familiarly
known in Tupelo and in Northeast
Mississippi, was the son of the late
j. r. Moore, who for many years
was a prominent merchant at Boone
vile, and also served as Treasurer of
Prentiss county. At one time the
deceased lived in Tupelo, where he
was recognized as one of our most
substantial young business men.
Twenty odd years ago he went west,
where he has since made his home.
His popularity in his western home
was expressed in a municipal election
at North Port, Wash, when he was
nominated by the citizens of that
place for mayor and received every
vote in the town. Socialism had it's
hot-bed in the county and although
there was a Socialist candidate there
was not a vote cast against Mr..
Moore.
The deceased leaves a wife and
two children, three sisters, Mrs. Thos.
Bettersworth of Bonneville, Mrs,
Lizzie Vaught, of Johnson City, Tenn.
and Mrs. Mary Buchanan of Glade
Springs, Va. He is survived by two
brothers, W. p. and Jno. R. Moore.
of Tupelo. The body will be inferred
at Kalispell, Mont.
During his life time Mr.. Moore
held the following positions in his
town: Agent for Great Northern
Railroad, Postmaster, U S. Game
Warden, Forest Ranger, chairman OF
School Board, Justice of Peace
member Of State Democratic Execu.
tive Committee.
