The overseas news brings US
the intelligence that our young
American soldier boys are marry
ing the French girls. Perhaps
it would be we'll if our American
girls insisted on their young men
getting married before they start
across the pond, if they want to
be sure to have him after the
war. French girls are charming,
and soldier boys get lonesome so
far away from home, and billing
and cooling, and matrimony are
the natural results.

They are holding a non-partisan
city election in Phoenix for may
or, and the Messenger editor
makes it clear to his readers that
one of the candidates is a repub-
lican, which is a crime sufficient
to merit defeat. The fact that
Mr.. Woods is a railroad conduc-
tor, a member of organized labor,
and a good citizen counts for
in the eyes of the demo-
cratic editor. We are not criti-
cising the democrats for support
ing a democrat, but why continue
to deceive the people that it is a
non-partisan city election? Every
time a democrat runs for an office
he wants all his friends to be
non partisan and vote for him,
but he reserves the privilege at
all times to vote his party ticket
straight, and we are sorry to say
a lot of republicans fall for the
game at every election.

The press dispatches from over

The press dispatches from over
seas, while not giving us all the
news of the work being done by
the American army, furnish just
enough to convince the folks at
home that the Germans will be
made to realize that the Ameri-
can soldier boy is a factor who
must be reckoned with before
this war is ended. The boy in
the khaki has no yellow steak in
his makeup, and in hand-to-hand
conflicts he never knows when
he is beaten until he falls. His
is a courage that springs from a
heart that pulses with liberty,
and beats loyalty to his country
and it's institutions. He is in
France, and he will stay there
until his work is accomplish.

It'll his work is accomplish.

The message of President Will
son sent to the Russian people a
few days ago, will cause more
trouble to Prussianism than an
an attack from the allies on the
trenches. He said to the dis
heartened and discouraged Rus
slams, through their Congress,
that the United States was earn
estly in sympathy with them in
their efforts to shake off auto
cratic rule and establish a de-
mocracy of the people, and this
nation stood ready to acknowl-
edge any political government es-
tablished which fearlessly under
takes to defy Pussianism. restore
order and maintain a democracy.
Coming at this time, when the
Russian people are awakening to
a realization that they have been
duped by Trotzky and Lenine,
who sold them out for German
gold, the Presidents cheering
message will have the effect of
putting new courage into the
hearts of an oppressed people,
and solid battallions of millions
of determined people will rise
from the ashes of despair and
anarchy, to drive back the Hun
invasion of their country, and
throw off the yoke of Germany
that has attempted to be put on
them by treachery.

The legislature of Wisconsin by
a small margin passed a resolu-
tion condemning the course of
Senator La Toilette in his antag-
onism to the United States enter
ing the war, and his efforts to
embarrass it's successful prose-
cution. The fact that a large
minority opposed passing Gen.
sure resolution demonstrates that
in Wisconsin there is a consider
able number of German-Ameri-
cans and sympathizers who are
in accord with the Senator.

A marging not less than two
inches wide should surround the
designs which are vertical. De-

white or in color; if in color not
more than four different colors
should be used. One of these
colors must be the particular blue
to be noted on the w. S. S. al

When the Governor calls his
special session of the legislature
together he should include in it
the recommendation that the
law creating the corporation
commission be repealed. The
only thing in favor of maintain
ing the institution is that it pro-
vides fat jobs for several good
democrats, and costs the state
about S45, 900 a year from which
it receives no benefit whatever.
The taxpayers furnish the money
and the commission devotes it's
time protecting the interests of
the corporations in the state.

Twenty-Five years ago it was
the established rule that all can
didates had to be more or less
addicted to the liquor habit, and
when around campaigning put in
most of their time treating the
"boys" in the saloons, and being
an all-around good sport; but
fortunately for the country times
have changed, and the growing
prohibition sentiment now de-
mands that candidates must come
before the people with clean
hands and breath. Occasion
ally, yet, some candidate who is
a professional booze fighter gets
by, and disgraces the Office to
which the people have elected
him. This year the voters of all
political parties should look over
the candidates for all the offices,
and nominate only such men who
believe in our prohibition law,
and favor it's strict enforcement.

Will You Give Me 4
Home?

There are thousands of boys
aud girls in our dear state that
have splendid mamas and
papas to love and care for them.
They are growing up into fine
women and men who will take
the places Of the splendid boys
who are so gladly and nObly Civ
ing their lives on the battle field
that we may keep our freedom
and honor.
We have no mamas and papas,
but O, how badly We do want
them. We want 10 be loved and
cared for just as those thousands
Of mamas and papas are caring
for their fine boys and girls. We
too. want a chance to ill worthy
place left vacant by the Supreme
sacrifice of one Of our noble boys.
But we can not fill those places
unless some good mama and
papa will take US in. to their
homes, love US, care for and
educate us. Surely We shall give
value received. Will you be the
one to give us an equal chance at
life, along With the more fortu-
nate children of Mississippi?
There are very many of us.
We range from finest infancy tO
about seventeen years old. Al =
ready, twelve hundred of our
large family have found splendid
homes. They seem SO happy and
are getting along so nicely we
want to go too.

in accomplishing this purpose is
borne out in a prOnamic view of
the splendid permanent instltu-
tiODs that now grace the piney
woods and home section of his
state. Due to his wise and able
administration Of State affairs.
Governor Bilbo's friends as we'll
as large following that bad
previously opposed him, realizing
his ability and determination
ir the right direction, were
hopeful that he would not be
opposed in the present race for
Congress. However, since he
announced his intentions to
make the race, four able and
distinguished opponents have
seen fit to enter the field against
him for the same honor. Owing
70 the recent session of the State
LEGISLATURE which left a large
volume of work for the Govern.
or's attention after adjournment.
Governor Bilbo has been busy
giving his official attention, and
so far has been unable to give
but little attention to his cam
paign for this reason.
Now that this work has been
finished and there being but lit
tie to demand his attention, it is
his intention to enter the cam
paign actively at once and remain
IN the district most of his time
until the first of August. Re
aliziug that his people are con-
fronted with state of war, and
not wishing to detract their at
tention from their duty to their
country at such time, Govern
or Bilbo has determined TO
make a quiet, peaceable campaign
throughout the district that will
be in keeping with conditions.
He is arranging schedule of
speaking dates for the entire
district and will present his
views, issues and platform for
your consideration within due
cuurse of time.
Having implicit confidence in
in the gratitude and appreciation
of the people of his district who
have stood by him so substantial
iy in past campaigns ard because
of his faithful devotion to their
interests, there can be no doubt
about his election to Congress is
the unanimous belief of his
many friends. With his twelve
years of legisla alive experience,
his thorough preparation and
training from a legal and ed
ucational standing, Governor Bill
DO is eminently qualified for a
brilliant and useful career in
our American Congress. For
these reasons and many others,
we commend him to the earnest
and careful consideration or
every voter in the Sixth Con-
gressional District.

70 the People of
Stone County:

AS Is already generally KnOWh
by the people Of the towns and
the county, arrangements wert
made with the StIte Board OF
Health a short while ago for q
campaign of sanitation through
out the towns and rura! districts
of the county. AS a rep aesenta-
tive of the State Board IF He nth
and as AS ~istant San itary In
spector, [ am here to carry tn
work through.
| have been greatly pleased
since my arrival with the in
terest that has been manifesto q
and the promises [ have received
of hearty cooperation. 1T seem s
that the people are thoroughly
awake to the great importance OF
Of doing away with filthy sources
of disease. Filth and disease are
great partners in the work of
destruction Of human life.
Wherever filth abounds disease
also abouDds.
Human filth is the most pro
lific source of disease in this
section of our State-nOt only
here. but we might say over a
large part of the surface of the
earth.
The most dangerous situation
at present in Stone county from
apublic health standpoint is the
open condition of the back yard
closet. From these points, espec-
tally during the warm season of
the year we have the constant
tppor tuniry for the spread of
typhoid fever, bowel troubles,
)erculosls, hookworm, and
several other maladleS.
Our very first endeavor will be
the correction of this evil; and in
fact work is already under way,
and mum Der of unsanitary filthy
closets will this week be trans
formed into safe. sanitary out
houses, free from flies, chickens,
hogs and dogs.
Here is what each householde ell
is expected to do: Furnish
material for building or remodel
ing the closet and pay for dig
ging the pit. The carpenters
we employ will do the rest. if 6
party prefers to dig his own pit
we will be glad to have him dc
so, but we want him to get it
ready when we let him know we
are coming. 1T is costing at pres
ent 81 90 per pit if we hire it dug
and we expect the householder
to pay for this and the materia
at once or as soon as the WOrl
is done so we can pay for the pi
digging and the material at thu
end of each week. Our carpenter:
will furnish an estimate of the
amount of lum Der needed.
Every householder in Wiggin:
pays $4.00 per year for scavenge
service. There will be no neces
slty of paying this fee after in
stalling the sanitary pit closet
therefore. the sanitary close
will save you money as well as
danger from many diseases.
