was held here yesterday afternoon at
5 o'clock in the city cemetery. A
special choir rendered appropriate

Miss Tahnell Higgs.
Hon. j. H. Ledyard, of Tupelo, de-

for a few minutes prayer for "Peace

WILLIS TILDEN MARTIN

Our Friend, Tilden Martin, was
born November 5, 1876, and died
December 18th, 1917. He was con
verted at the age of II and lived a
consistent Christian life up to his
death. Bro. Tilden was a member
Of the Baptist church at New Mace
donna. He was also a member of u
Sunday school there, and most of the
time was found in his place at the
appointed time. We miss you friend
Tilden, but we do not expect to be
separated forever. Our lives are
books where leaves are turned every
day and soon the last leaf will have
been turned, then we shall be ushered
into eternity. In sorrow we calmly
bow our heads to Him who knoweth
and doeth all things well.
l have known deceased for many
years and can truthfully say there
never lived a better mar in our COM
munity. He was a quiet and gentle
man, never using a superiority of
words, even before his nearest friends.
OF course we know no man is per-
feet, but l believe he had as few
faults as any man / ever knew. We
miss him on our rural route. ! new
er knew of anyone Charging him of
neglect Of duty. We show AWhat M
are by our words and acts
know Tilden Martin was an a1ireund
true man. He leaves II wife, fotlr
children, a widowed mother, i
brother and three sisters with q host
of friends to mourn his death. Oh,
life how uncertain! Oh, death how
sure. We all have to face the same
ordeal he has faced. May we be as
well prepared to meet u God as l
believe he was. The greatest thing
he ever did in this life was to make
his preparation for the life beyond.
Then in conclusion let me say to
the grief stricken wife and children
not to weep for him for he is far
happier than we are. He will always
be fixed in your memory as a beacon
light calling you to lift up your
hearts in gladness to the God Of all
truth, so that you may enjoy eternal
rest with him in the sweet bye and
bye. Hank! We hear him sweetly
calling; calling us to come and join
him in that home. His Friend

CAROMEL
A C C LIVER
Crashes into sour bile, making you
sick and you lose a
days work.

Calomel salivates! It's mer-
curry. Calomel acts like dyna-
mite on a sluggish liver. When
calomel comes into contact with
sour bile it crashes into it,
causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy,
constipated and all knocked
out, just go to your druggist
and get a bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone for a few cents
which is a harmless vegetable
substitute for dangerous caln-
mel. Take a spoonful and if
it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and
quicker than nasty calomel and
without making you sick, you
just go back and get your mon
ey.
If you take calomel today
you'll be sick and nauseated to-
marrow; besides, it may sal
ivate you, while if you take
Dodson's Liver Tone you will
wake up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work or
play. It's harmless, pleasant
and safe to give to children;
they like it. A

e 100 PER CENT LOYAL A
APPEAL TO PATRIOTISM
Administrator Harding Asks Coop
Grafton in Food Conservation.

Vicksburgs, Miss, June 6.-P. M.
Harding, federal food administrator
for Mississippi, has made public the
following statement:
.The record Mississippi is making
in wal work is one which any state
in the Union might well be proud of.
Having given three times the amount
assigned them for Red Cross contribu-
ton, they have now turned to the
"No Wheat" proposition. Within the
last 48 hours 1000 barrels of flour
have been turned over by the mer-
chants in Mississippi and accepted by
the government for export. At this
writing there are negotiations pend
ing for taking over orders from mer-
chants for two ears of -four at
mills, which will give a total Of ap-
proximately 1,700 barrels to Missis-
.sippi's credit for export use within
the last 48 hours.
ssThe urgent request Mr.. Hoover
gave out on May 26 to conserve
wheat -four has aroused the patriotic
interest of the people of Mississippi
to comply with his request.
"Our county food administrators
have stated that more than 80 per
cent of the people are willing to give
up the use of wheat flour until the
new crop is in if the government
needs it. Most of u merchants IN
Mississippi have taken up this pa
triotic thought, and have cancelled
contracts for -four and offered them
to the government and have agreed
to handle no more -four until the
next harvest.
II. "A. Morgan, federal food admin
istrator of Tennessee, has asked the
mills to discontinue the offering of
any -four for sale as the majority Of
the people Of this state + perfectly
willing and anxious that this -four
should be turned over to the govern
ment to be exported for our army

SOUTH LOSES NEEDED LABOR

The practice of private contractors
in recruiting labor from farms, espec-
tally in Georgia Alabama, Missis-
sippi and Tennessee, has so democrat
lied the labor situation in those
states that the labor department,
with the department of agriculture
and the shipping board, have asked
the wal department to take action to
stop it. One suggestion offered is to
have the whole subject put under
the direct control of the United
States employment service, in which
overt it would be possible to prevent
the present decentralization of labor
conditions in the south.
Senator Fletcher Of Florida has
informed the labor department that
men are being taken from the farms
and from plants with contracts for
the supplying Of lumber for ship
construction, and Senator John
Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, has
also complained to the labor depart
ment in behalf of the farmers of that
state that farms are being swept bare
of labor in the vicinity of V~icksburg
to supply labor for the nitrate plants
being erected at Sheffield, Ala. In his
reply to Senator Williams complaint
Assistant Secretary of Labor Post
stated that private contractors had
refused to cooperate with the gov
ernment in its endeavor to get men
from sections with surplus labor and
that they insist that they must be
allowed to get labor where they
please and whenever they want il,

oAN
"Mills and dealers in flour in sur
rounding states have offered flour to
merchants in Mississippi and it has
made it extremely hard for them to
maintain the position that our sol
diers and allies are suffering because
of the lack of flour when the mills
and jobbers are besieging merchants
to buy flour. They naturally on
clude that the government does not
want this flour as much as we say
they do, or the government would re-
quire the mills to furnish it to them.
II do not want to take any drastic
action in regard to prohibiting the
sale of -four in Mississippi, SO Iappeal
to you for your cooperation in as
sisting me in carrying out the pro-
gramme as outlined by Mr.. Hoover,

not to make any contracts to receive

ture, until the new crop has been
harvested and is on the market for

UNITED STATES ON
BREAD RATION NOW
EACH PERSON is LIMITED TO
TWENTY-FOUR OUNCES OF
WHEAT WEEKLY.

Beginning on Sunday last, April
18th, and continuing indefinitely the
people of the United States are on
bread ration.
On and after that date the in
food regulations telegraphed the in
dividual consumption of wheat prod
ucts will be limited to twenty-four
ounces a week. Local boards have
been directed to publish the new
rules and regulations and to see that
they are enforced.
The military necessity of furnish
ing the allies with enough wheat to
make their war bread substantial will
mean that the consumption of wheat
in this country must be reduced from
100000 bushels a month in nor
NAL times to 100000 bushels.
To effect this much-needed conser-
walton bread must contain % per
cent. of cereal substitutes. Among
new rules laid down by the admins
tration are the following:
/. Householders are not to use
more wheat products than l p pounds
per person per week.
2. Public eating places are not to
serve wheat products in excess of 2
ounces to each person per meal and
must observe two wheatless days a
week.
8. Retailers are to sell not more
than one-eighth barrel of flour to city
customers at one time and to sell an
equal amount of substitutes at all
times.

CREEK SCATHINCLY
DENOUNCED in SENATE
INDIANA MEMBER TELLS OF
PREVIOUS UTTERANCES OF
PUBLICITY CHAIRMAN.

WASHINGTON, D. George
Creel, chairman of the committee on
public information, was denounced
today in the senate as a "slivering
sneerer" and characterized as the
"chosen spokesman for the admins
tration" by Senator Watson, of Indi-
ana.
A number of newspaper editorials
written by Creel in Denver some
years ago in which he vigorously de-
nounced the president, the supreme
court and the senate were read by
the Indiana senator, who asked
whether the pending espionage meas
ure would apply to such articles.
Ought this man be permitted to
hold that position" asked Senator
Watson, referring to Creel, as chair
man of the committee on public in
formation. Shouldn't the senate ask
for his removal?"
Senator Watson quoted Creel as
saying in one editorial that the Tit
ed States is "body that sits in des-
potism" and "the supreme court is
not responsible to the people"
Another which the Indiana senator
declared was signed by Creel and
which referred to America as "na-
ton of commercial sharks" was de-
nounced as "a vile SANDER on the
United States"
