TO THIS request, Governor Bilbo saws:
My state has the honor Of being
the first in the Union to ratify the
national prohibition amendment 7
finished reading my biennial MESSAGE
TO the legislature in January. 1918
recommending the ratification Of This
amendment and in thirty minutes
after | had finished the amendment
was adopted by both branches of the
legislature.
We have had statewide prohi-
pltlon in Mississippi since 1908. and
bone dry prohibition about a year
ana | am glad to say that after
thorough trial we have no doubting
Ihomases left. The effect Of nro
fibltlon on the health, moral and
financial conditions of the neopIa
throughout the state has been 81
marked that every one is convinced
OF the great wisdom and beneficial
effects of the driving out of in+ov-
lcatlng liquors of all sorts and kinds
Inc commission of crime has hean
decreased from fifty to seventv-fva |
per cent and in many counties of The |
STATE, court terms have been prefer
lnlttd for more than a year at a time
because of the lack of sufficient
cases on the. criminal docke+s fo,,
trial. The proof of the manv here.

KEEP CHERRY

Much has been written of the
barren fruit of unasked-for adj
vice. People as a rule don't think
much Of counsel and treat if
with corresponding Indifference.
30 the following is not to be con-
sldered as advice but as a news
story. It won't be necessary To
stretch q point to do this as the
idea as contained in the words
below is not simply a sugges-
ton. 1t has been put to the test
many times and found to be true.
It IS a statement of facts.
These are strenuous times
when a cool head is a necessity
TO avoid disaster. At the pres
ent moment a cool head means
2 personality that radiates opti-
mism. Disease germs thrive in
bodies whose minds are pessi-
n1istic. Optimism is stronger
than pessimism. The latter can
not develop under the Influence
OF CHEEKY words and hopeful
smiles. So here is a antidote
which is not restricted bv price
or limited in abundance. There
IS always more where it came
from.
Every citizen in Morgan City
IS intensely interested in the
progress of the epidemic. Every
word spoken concerning it has
an Influence. Those who circu-
late panicky tales whether true
or not are helpful allies of old
man Disease in. his work of de-
struction. The influence ema-
hating from such words will
have a bad effect on someone or
possibly several Just as surely as
+ the germs themselves had
'een cast broadcast. AS con-
as human sympathy

Flu" and its consequences. It'll
here is cause for alarm which |
an be corrected-talk to the
Board of Health. To others be
bearer Of cheerful news or
one at all.
Obey all preventative measures
the most important of which |
!: STAY AWAY FROM OLD
IAN GLOOM. It will mean
ONE fighting with your will
over to do it. But this is a day
t fighting for those at home
$ well as those in France. Be
neerful and those who are sick
Til have a much better chance
get well and those who are
ell will have a much smaller
lance to get sick. It pays al
avs but it's a necessity now.

Relief Fund Growing

The fund recently inaugurated for
! the relief of families unable to pur
/ chase necessities is being added to
each day by public-spirited contribu-
tors. The money is being used under
he direction of the local branch Of
the Rred Cross. These workers are
in close touch with cases requiring
assistance. They know their needs
| and are in position to render aid i'm
mediately and effectively.
Many of the cases reported by the
Red Cross are very pitiful. Several
families dependent entirely upon the
weekly wage of the father for daily
food have every member sick. The
income has stopped and they are now
facing additional expense due to
sickness. It is only by personal as
slstance, financially and otherwise.
these families will have an equal
chance with those more fortunately
situated, to save the lives of their
dear ones.
This fund will give them this
chance. There isn't man, woman or
child IN Morgan City whose heart has
not been touched by stories which
have been told of helples misery now
in cur midst Here is an
opportunity to help. Every contri-
button, no matter how small, will do
It's part in bringing happiness to some
unfortunate human being. It is sure
to bring peace that passeth all un
dertsanding" to the giver.
Contributions may be sent or left
With any Of the banks or with The
Review. The following list COMPRISES
names of all contributors up to date.
