WAR-STAMP DAY IN ftg}
GRENADA GREAT
The A.. 4 Nj. College Band Was on
Hand. A Spectacular Parade Led
by Joan of Rrc. Boy Scouts and
Red Cross Nurses. Splendid
Speeches in the City Park. 3fO,-
OS4.oo in War Stamps Sold.

Grenada gave another exhibition OF
her patriotism and loyalty by respon-
ding most Loyalty to the War Savings
Stamps rally last Saturday. There
were many present from the country
besides others from up and down the
road. The citizens Of the county, who
since the United States severed d!pIo-
matte relations with Germany have
,. been exceedingly Jealous about raas-
ing money for war activities OF ev-
erv kind, again demonstrated their pa
triotism in the purposes OF the war
and the War Savings Campaign by
staging a grand patriotic rally. The
parade. as announced in these columns
last week. was led by the lovely Miss
Elizabeth Jones riding q beautiful
black saddle mare. She represented
loan of Arc. The A. & Nj. College
band was one Of the very attractive
features Of the parade. The boy
Scouts and the Red Gross nurses came
in for much cheering by the crowds
following the parade The Kaiser,
under guard of course, was greeeeo
with loud cheering. When the pa
rade drew up in the public square
the crowd gathered in the park, where
State Director of War Savings, j.
T. Thomas was called for and made a
very telling and patriotic address. HIS
appeal to the people to realizethe the
great crisis the government is passing
through and that the war made de-
nands upon the citizen at home as
well as upon the boys in the trenches,
was thrilling and indeed appealing.
Other short and pointed addresses
were made by Mr.. Cowles Horton,
Judge Roane and Hon. S. A. Morrison.
Upon the trucks, which was used for
a speakers stand, with Judge Roane
was Mr.. r. V. Pearson in Confederate
gray and the two gallant old heroes
made a picture that brought up many
memories of the days gone by, and
the thought came. rushing to the mino
of each thoughtful observer that II
the same valor and heroisn1 was put
into this war that the sons and dau-
ghters of the South put into the strug-
giles of the Confederacy, that success
was sure and certain.
In the afternoon Prof. l.. c. Jones
: a negro educator, made an address to
sthe colored people on the war at the
Court House. He spoke the same al.
'ternoon at Holccmb and that nigh,
to the colored people in the Mount
Hermon community. The coloret
population is coming up nobly. One
of the good colored farmers OF ths
county is known to have bought
thosand dollar Liberty Bond and al
equal amount in War Savings Stamps
The day was all that could be deslr
ed by those promoting it. slO.oo4-o'

Ia Pounds Wheat Products Per
Person Each Week-Must Not
Sell More Than 1s Barrel Flour
to Town People and u Barrell to
Those Living In Country-Read
New Ruling Below.

To the Public: 't
AS conditions become presently
more acute, it becomes necessary that
we at home shall do more along the
lines of our own endeavor towards
the conservation Of food. Attention
is. therefore, called to the following
requirements of the Food Admins
tration, which all persons are patrl-
otically enjoined to observe:
i. Any person having more wheat
products, flour, especially, on hand,
than the Food regulations admit,
should return same to the seller for
distribution.
Persons raising wheat and having
it ground should deliver all of it, ex-
cept II barrel, for distribution. Ready
markets offer a place for its disposal.
8. Householders must not use any
more than Y pounds of wheat pro-
ducts each week per person. If
"Victory Bread" is used. they should
not use more than u pounds of such
bread, and 12-pound of cooking -four,
macaroni, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, all combined, per
ipersOn.
4. Retailers shall not sell more
than Il barrel of -four to any town
customer at any one time, nor more
than Il barrel to any country GUS
toner, and even then shall not sell
! this quantity, OF any less quantity
, to such customers. without at the
same time selling to them an equal
weight of other cereals.
5. In addition to the above, al
persons are requested to use less
wheat products than the requirement.
wherever possible.
A faithful observance of these re,
quirements will not only relieve OF
the embarrassment which will come
from their known violation, but vii
evidence that loyalty and patriotism
of which our people have so earnestly
boasted.

NEW MILLINERY ESTAB-
LISHMENT IN GRENADA

Among the new establishments IN
Grenada is that of Mrs. J. K. Shaw,
who comes here from Holly Springs.
She has opened a first class place IN
the Heath Building on Main Street
and will no doubt be accorded gen.
erous patronage. Their place pre-
sents a most creditable appearance
and will add much to the appearance
of the West Side of Main Street. 1t
is rumored that other changes are
soon to be on this side of the street,
and The Sentinel looks forward with
much pleasure to their materiallza-
ton.

New Orleans, La.

Mr.. E. f. Lawrence,
Business Manager Grenada Sentinel,
Dear Friend:
We read with interest and amuse-
ment the letter from the "BOYS" at
Beauregard in your paper Of Fe5ru-
airy 22nd, and would like to make
few comments thereon.
First. We do not ask the good men
who are or have been candidates to
buy tobacco for u.s. The u. S. NAVY
gives us salary sufficient to provide
US with all the necessities of life.
Second. 1t appears to us that writ
er of the article from Beauregard is
suffering from one of three things,
Selfishness, Narrow Minded or Hay-
ing been confined to his Company
Street so long that it has curbed his
brain so that he does not know there
is anyone existing outside his Com
pany Street. Whatever his trouble
may be our sympathy is with him.
In nominating candidate for an
Office we have always understood the
Democratic way has been to select
the most competent men available,
and then vote on this list.
If the "BOYS" had followed this
rule surely they would not have Sc
lected all "LAND LUBBERS" or
"ROOKIES" who have not the nerve
to don a suit of Blue and face the
rough seas now filled with their fish
of steel (THE SUBMARINE). as
candidates to be voted on by the
worthy people of Grenada County
"AFTER THE WAR"
| It is not our intention to criticize
the BOYS" but merely call their at
tention to what might be an over
sight, and ito that they may realize
that OLD GRENADA HAS A NAVY
as we'll as an ARMY representing her
at the front.
We would like to make a sugges-
ton to the "BOYS" regarding the
TWO
HINT made in their letter to the
Candidates. If they would stay in
| their own tent after dark, and leave
1.-THE BONES alone, they would posi-
bly supply themselves with what to-
bacco they might need from the sal
ary supplied by UNCLE. SAM, and
I've trust that the -"B0YS" will not
so far forget themselves again, and
write such a letter HOME.
Il At this time we would not name q
ticket, but ask the "BOYS" to re
. member the "NAVY" when they pre-
: pare the ticket to be presented tt

Greeley, COl.-A movement was
started in Greeley Wednesday after
noon by the f. M. B. club, a woman's

Resolutions were adopted, asking the
federal government to designate

tributors for the Armenian and Syr-

Passing VIII Be Sincerely
Mourned by All creeds.

Salt Lake City.-Joseph Fielding
Smith, sixth president of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,
died at 1850 o'clock Tuesday morning,
November 10, following an illness of
several months duration, against
which he had made determined fight
and had on several occasions rallied
sufficiently to permit his appearance
in public. The end came peacefully
as he lay at the official residence of
the church president, surrounded by
members of his family and church dig
nitaries.
In the death of President Smith the
state loses one of its best known and
most constructive leaders. Broad in
his sympathies, far-sighted in his
judgments and tolerant to a marked
degree, his passing will be mourned by
men of all creeds in Utah and in the
far-lying missions of the church to
which he had been a frequent visitor.
The church loses in his death the
last of her leaders whose birth oc-

cussed as one of the presidential pos
sibilities Of 1920, has resigned his Of
flces to return to private business.
President Wilson has accepted his
resignation Mr. McAdoo will give up
the treasury portfolio as soon as his
successor has been selected. He wished
to lay down his work as director gem

remain if the president has not then
chosen successor.
Upon the new secretary of the treas
ury, whoever he may be, will devolve
the task of financing the nation
through the transition period of war to

least two more Liberty loans and posi-

been constructed in the course of his
regime than were built during the en-
tire previous history of the organiza-
ton.
While President Smith is known
principally as the churchman that he
was, he leaves behind him an enviable
record as a public citizen. He served
several terms in the territorial and
early state legislatures, was president
of the constitutional assembly, and
served several terms in the Salt Lake
city council, as well as one term in the
city of Provo.
Joseph Fielding Smith was born in
Far West, Caldwell county, Mo-, No
vember ID, 1888. He was the son of
Hyrum Smith and Mary Fielding
Smith. His childhood days We're spent
amid scenes of persecution and hard
ship, which resulted in the death of
his father and his uncle, the prophet,
Joseph Smith, June %. 1914. With his
widowed mother, who left Nauvoo as
an exile in 1916; he drove an OK team
for her across the state of Iowa to
Winter Quarters, where the. family
spent the winter of 1867. He was
then only years of age, but while at
Winter Quarters was employed as a
herd boy, and it is said that during the
time that he was herding cattle ut
Winter Quarters and after his arrival
in Salt Lake ''he never lost a hoof."
On the death of George Q. Cannon
in April, 1901, in California, Joseph F.
Smith acted as first counsellor TO
President Snow. The latter died Oc-
tober 10, 1901.
When the first presidency of the
church and the twelve apostles met on
October II, 1901. the first presidency
was recognized with Joseph f. Smith
as president, John r. Winder as first
counsellor, and Anthem Fl. Lund as
second counsellor.

cessity for replenishing his personal
fortune, and express the presidents
deep regret at losing his son-in-law
from his official family.
Mr.. McAdoo receives $4,000 a year
as secretary of the treasury, the uni
form salary of cabinet MEMBERS and
nothing as director general of rail-
roads. His family expenses are known
to have been heavy in the last few
years, although since the war he has
taken almost no part in the little cap
ital society that remained Repeatedly
the secretary has referred to small sal
aries of government officials, though
he did not refer to his own case.
Mr.. McAdoo made the announcement
of his retirement at one of his weekly
conferences with a score of newspaper
men in his private office at the treas
ury.
The rise of Mr. McAdoo to a place of
Influence in the administration, which
many have declared was second only
to the president, was very fast. AS a
southern lawyer who had been inter-
ested in transportation schemes in
southern cities, he went to New York
and accomplished the then almost I'M
belieyable feat of successfully tunnel
ing the Hudson river for electric
trains. One of the first men to sug-
gest the scheme-if not actually the
first-was adjudged lunatic, and he
lived to see the project an accomplish
ment.
1t is entirely probable that the pres
ident may fill separately the offices of
the secretary of the treasury and di-
rector general of railroads.
