How In four short months 1t has been

One fine fall afternoon, Col. Bill
jenkins. who farms Somewhere In Mis-

and drove along the black road that
4 led across the prairie to town. When
he reached the cooperative elevator
of which he was stakeholder, he
pulled up on the scales, checked his
gross weights carefully, and began TO
unload. The manager came out and
asked:

High war costs of production gave

a reduction Of 8 cents per bushel un-

fixed charge made in this locality for
handling and selling. 'rhe Scent
charge included the commission Of I
cent per bushel customary In 1917
among commission men for selling the
| wheat to domestic millers or foreign
buyers.
The elevator man was none too sure
as to how to get at the price which
this wheat should bring. He knew
considerably more about human nature
than freight rates and decided to
check up" the problem to the nearest
zone agent OF the Grain Corporation.
l So he wrote a letter to the representa-:

NO COMPULSION ABOUT
BUYING STAMPS

Ir view of the fact that there seems
to be a misconception in some
localities of the Governments pur.
pose in the War Savings and Thrift
fStar.ps campaign, and, inasmuch as
was ofiicially connected with the
work as publicity director until Mr.. j
T. Thomas, on account of i'll health
was compelled to ask release as State
Director, l feel that l am warranted
in saying that the Government never
at any time contemplated that any
apparent threats or coercion should
be attempted in pushing the campaign
in any community or county in the
Union. While / am not alleging that
this has been done in any county in
Mississippi, yet from information that
comes to me from certain localities,
fear that some County Directors
have allowed their zeal and enthusi-
asm to put the dive cover" to cause
them to slightly exceed the lines of
discretion and good judgment. Pri-
marily, as / understand, it was the
Governments idea in putting on the
Stamp campaign to get each and
every citizen of the land to feel an
individual partnership in the business
Of the war, to get the hearts of the
people quickcned TO a realization of
the momentous issue that confronts
our beloved Nation. Then the matter
of the money from the sales of the
Stamps-that could not be gotten by
taxation-was secondary thing OF
course it was expected that every
good. patriotic citizen would respond
as literally as he could-to do less
would border on treason. But l feel
confident that no arbitrary assessment
of individuals was ever contemplated,
and II there are any localities in Mis-
sissippi where threatened coercion has
followed assessments, the fault lies
with those Immediately in charge of
the War Savings campaign and not
with the Government. feel safe in
asserting that no instructions ever
came from Washington City to MAKE
any citizen or citizens buy War Saw
iEgs or Thrift Stamps. By this / do
not mean that interest to bring any
county's quota up should be abated, or
that any Stacker should be allowed to
get by without lis neighbors and the
public generally knowing it, yet due
regard must be had to the RESPONSE
bilities and the situation of the indi-
vidual, willing citizen. So, repeat,
that If any attempt has been made any,
where within the state to force the
purchase of certain amount of
Stamps, the blame rests upon those in
charge of the War Savings work and
not upon the Government.
But let US net overlook the fact that
the Government is ours and that we
each owe an individual responsibility
to that which protects our property
and shields our homes and our fami-
hes. This Government is a family
affair and the error of any one con-
nected with war activities is no more
excuse for US to lag in our efforts to
uphold our country than would be the
indiscretion or errors of brother or
sister be cause for one to cease his
devotions to his parents.
Whether it is best to continue to
push the sale of Stamps in those coun-
ties that are behind in their quotas or
wait few months should be deter
mined, it SENS me, by local con-
ditions.

THE SALE AND THE
WEIGHING OF ICE

We have turned the delivery of ice
to the city trade over to Mr.. w. S.
Cole, who will give this end of our
business his personal attention. To
those who want their ice weighed, no
tickets will be issued, as it is physi-
cal impossibility to cut ice to the
pound, sometimes it is little more
and sometimes a little less, and the
scarcity of labor makes it impossible
to take the time reuired to make the
change in such cases. Customers
must have the change ready for the
ice man upon delivery. Those who
already have ice tickets and want
their ice weighed, can have their
tickets redeemed. 1t is our desire
and our purpose to serve satisfactorily
and well our trade but we feel sure
that everybody understands labor con-
ditions and we ask the cooperation
of our friends.
