PLEA FOR EARLY CHRISTMAS
SHIPME NTS.
Suggests Decemqer 10th as Final
Shipping Date.

Vice-President d. S. Elliott, in
charge TO traffic for the American
Railway Express Company, has in.
formed all operating officials and
agents of the express companies
throughout the Unitd States, that il
IS the purpose of the company to up.
hold in every the request of the Coun-
Gil of Defense that Christmas ex
press shipments be started on then
way by December 9Th.
A concerted move will be made in
every city and town in the country to
emphasize the Importance of pre-
venting any possible congestion of
transportation facilities during these
critical times, Although the
press facilities are very elastic, so
much of theequipment is now used
for strictly war purposes, that all
gift shipments for long distance trav-
ell should qe delivered to the express
company not later than December
9th, and for short hauls not later
than December 10th. This allows
ample time for sorting and delivery
before Christmas Day.
I'VE wish to emphasize strongly
said Mr.. Elliott" the point raised by
the Council of Natioal Defense, that
nothing should be forwarded, which
will interfere with essential war work
Just now the movement of eouipmnut
and supplies for the Overseas Forces
81 heavy and ~exacting, and there
should be no domestic burden placed
upon transportation, which should
tend to lessen the delivery of wal
shipments"
Also during the winter months
there is a tremendous movement of
foodstuffs to all the larger cities
These foodstuffs are perishable and
next to war shipments must be given
first consideration.
We are asking u men everywhere
to bring these points before our pa.
irons, and to emphasize more strong.
ly than ever the vital Importance Of
proper packing and eligible marking
We are asking them to refuse all
shipments which are not packed
strongly enough to reach their des.
tination with ordinary handling, and
to insist that the address of the sen.
der and of the consignee be placed
on a card and enclosed inside the
package.

FEEDING THE WORLD.

One of the great tasks confront
ing the Unitd States, and it will be a
profitable work as well as a gener-
Gus one, is to furnish food to Europe
until something like ante-bellum
agricultural conditions are restored
there.
Millions Of acres in Northern France
and Belgium, formerly under inten-
sive cultivation producing a vast
amount of food products will produce
little for years. And the depleted
labor supply will also retard the res
osration of former conditions.
In Russia especially, and also in
Austria and Hungary, and the Bal
kan states, agricultural production
will be years in reaching its ante-bel-
lum average. Agricultural imple-
ments have been destroyed, farms
grown into waste lands, labor de
allied, dispersed and hundreds of
thousands Of farmers and farm labor
ers killed in war.
Germany, too, will be years in
reaching a self-feeding condition.
We may not regret this last, but we
must figure on it.
To meet the great shortage, the
Unitd States must hump itself. The
food producing farmer is more i'm
portant than eve to the country.
He must play a great part in the
country's prosperity and the u
try's work in rehabilitating Europe,
in keeping alive and vigorous the
English, French, Belgian and othel
peoples who must rebuild their shat
tered lands.
In this work the County Agricultu
raj Agents r of vital Importance
No work is more important thar
theirs. Every county in Mississippi
should increase its production to the
maximum, and to do this the Count,
Agents help is necessary.
Our own County Agent, Mr.. G. A
Hughes, has done splendidly in tn
past But his work Of the curren
year with the United States in tn
war, was of no more vital importanc
than the work of the coming year
The actual fighting is over, but tn.

as ever. 1t is hoped that nothin,
will persuade Mr.. Hughes that h.
can find a better field of service thar

blessed with six children-John Bor-
ders, George William, and Addie,
Ruth, Martha and Sarah. Two broth
ers, Sam and Gus, and three sisters,
Mrs. Addie Dantzler, Mrs. Linda Ew-
ing and Mrs. Virginia Patty, survive
him to mourn his loss.
He was a member of the Episcopal
church, being confirmed in that faith
February 2, 1918, and his pastor,
Rev. DR.. Waddell, preached the fu-
neral services at the house, and as he
was a Mason of high degree, that
honored body concluded the services
at the grave. The Sunday he was
buried vas a beautiful day, and an
immense crowd gathered to pay hon
or to his memory, and the square was
almost ,ered with beautiful floral
emblems, giving mute and eloquent
testimony of the love Of his friends.
His sister Linda could not get to
Brooksville in time for the burial, 50
after the services had been concluded
the crowd dispersed leaving a few
faithful friends to remain with the
corpse until she could get there and
when she arrived, she went imme-
diately to tn graveyard, the coffin
was opened and she was permitted to
look once more on his dear features
and kiss the lips that never spoke
anything but kind words to her, for
the last time. Fires had been kindled
around the grave, and by the light
of those fires, after a heartfelt pray
err by his dear friend, John Gaines,
his body was laid to rest in this con-
secrated ground, there to remain until
resurrection morn,in which he firmly
believed.
Thus passed away a man who with
out much pretense to religion, lived
the Christ-life, ready at all times to
aid his fellow man, or to assist in
any good cause, for the benefit of his
county and state. Genial, handsome,
big hearted and an optimist by inher-
lance and practice, he carried sun
shine wherever he went, and he will
be sadly missed by not only his own
loved ones, but by numbers of friends
and also the colored people in his
employ, who were devoted to him for
ehey knew he was their friend. At
ter his fathers death, he took his old
servant, Bunk, to Brooksville to care
for him as long as he lived. Cut
down in the prime of his life, in the
full flush of his young manhood,
successful in all of his undertaking
what might we have expected of him
had he lived to the full fruition of his
life. 1t must be a great comfort to
his wife and his other loved ones, to
know that nothing but words of
praise have ever been said of him,
and he left his children the proud
heritage of the record of a useful life
well spent in the service of his fellow
man.
1t has been well said that it is not
how long we live, but how well,
Judging by this standard, Will Gun.

SAD DEATH OF MR.. WILL
CUNNINGHAM.

Friday evening, the eighth instant,
Dur whole country was inexpresslbly
shocked when the sad news was told
v the phone that Will Cunningham
rad been instantly killed in an auto
accident about seven o'clock, on his
way home to Brooksville from one Of
MS plantations. He was strong wig
,rous, and in the prime of life, en-
gagged in business of all kinds, and
his sudden death seemed to u finite
minds so untimely that we could
scarcely believe that his useful life
could be so quickly ended. Truly
no one knows the day Or the hour,
when we will be called from this life.
Kind friends soon reached the place
where the accident occurred, and bore
his body to the beloved home that he
had left that morning, full of life and
vigor.
1t was distressing indeed to wit
ness the grief of his dear wife and
loving children, so suddenly bereft
Of their kind and loving husband and
father. The little ones would clasp
his form in their arms, and beg him
to speak to him once more, but alas,
the lips that had so fondly answered
to their every caress, was silent in
death, and would never again return
their kisses.
Will Cunningham was the most re-
markable business man that Noxubee
County has produced, for while he
was born in Calhoun County, Ala.

Case Against Chicago Professor

Developments.

disorderly conduct against Prof. Will

ham in the morals court today. At
tcrney Clarence barrow, of the de-
Tense, was upheld in his contention
that altho the elderly sociologist and
the pretty young wife of an army Of
ficer were found in a room together
at a horel, this did not constitute dis
orderly conduct.
At the last moment. Assistant City
Prosecutor H. w. Starr switched the
charge to breach of the peace after
describing the finding of the former
University ot Chicago sociologist and
the army widow" in a downtown
hotel room. Judge Graham dismissed
the case, merely observing:

Attorney Clarence Darrow, counsel
for Professor Thomas had argued
that there was no city statute cover
ing the case. Starr admitted the
weakness of the prosecutions case.
