How to show civic pride and feeling
for Pascagoula is the momentous ques-
ton before our community. The bust
ness man who is reaping profits and
enjoying the fruits of the industrial
prosperity of Pascagoula should be
reminded of his obligation to the peo-
pie. That obligation is simply faith
in the growth and future development
of this favored seaside city, pride in
it's educational institutions, public
buildings and modern homes. 1t is the
business man who should set the eX
ample of owning a home;" it is the
business man who should start the
home building wave and it is the
business man who should declare him
self a permanent citizen
Year by year this paper has pointed
out the advantages of owning a
home" The Chronicle cannot prefer
4au thc III
to ~. r.. that he must
or shalqS.Id home, but we can
safely advise the business man that
the ownership OF residence in Pas
cagoula may increase his money earn
ing proclivities and his social rela-
lions.
Business men of Greater Pascagoula
now is the opportune time to buy or
build a home.

Worlds Oldest Town.

A few miles south Of the snow ridge
oa the Caucasus, next door to Europe,
but actually in Asia, there is a wretch
ed little village whose fame should be
Worldwide. Beneath its terraced
homes two rivers unite; the clear,
cold Aragwa, fastening from its BIRTH
place IL the eternal SHOWS of the eau
casus to the hot depression of the Cas-
Ipian, and the Kura, sullied and dirty,
swinging in FROM the west to make Its
wy across the barren Transcaucasian
|stepre, between the mountains of Dag.
Eestan ard the Armenian highlands.
Nltzkhet is the name of this perrin
lsuln town. Cnly Russian, with ample
lwhiskers, can readily pronounce the
word, says Maynard Owen Williams
in Christian Herald. There is really
lnctkng in the peaceful ard dirty lit
tic village to compare with the mill
liant eggressiveLess Of its name.
Mtzkhat has claims to antiquity that
make the Oldest New England town
Iarpeor as a mere baby; for its ciH-
zens assert that T. was founded by enc
of NCah's sons, who strolled ever from
Mount Ararat one day and chose this
site tecause of its excellent drainage
The tow looks old, to say the least
Damascus has verdGnt freshness
about it that Is as deceptive as grease
pailt, but Mtzkhet stands cut from
greer fields and pastures new, like a
waathered fishing smack in an emerald

Swift & Company
Has Not "Jest Growed"

Swift & Company, in fifty years of well
ordered growth, has become one of the
great national services because it has
learned to do something fer the American
people which they needed to have done
for them, in the way in which they
preferred to have it done.
1t has met each successive demand, in
the changing conditions of national life,
by getting good meat to increasing mil.
lions effectively, efficiently, economically,
and expeditiously.
The Swift & Company packing plants
refrigerator cars, car routes, branch
houses, organization, and personnel Of
today are the practical solutions, born Of
practical experience, to the food problems
of half century.
Because of all these elements workingin
correlation and unison, Swift & Company
is able to supply more and better meatto
more people than would have been pos.
sible otherwise, at net profit per poundof
meat so low Ia fraction of a cent? that the
consumer price is practically unaffected
Strip away any portion of this vast
smooth-running human machine, and you
make a large part of the meat supply
uncertain, lose the benefit ofhalfa century
of fruitful experience, and scatter the
intelligent energies of men who have
devoted life work toward meeting the
needs of nation in one vital field.

sion has announced that on ac-
count of the war, the shortage
of labor, and the high cost of
construction, no more money out
of the bond issue would be ex-
pended for road building until
after the close of the war. AS a
little matter of information we
wonder if the commission will
cut off the salaries of the secre-
tary and engineer during this

will they be continued on the

Republican slackers and draft
evaders who registered as demo-
Gratis so they could get into the
democretic primary to defeat
County Attorney Larson for re-
nomination, simply because he
did his duty in trying to enforce
the provisions of the draft law,
should be forever barred from the
society of decent loyal citizens.
We thank God no republican OF

Nor any democrats either. We

The Winslow mail., 1918-09-20
One of the principal contribut

One of the principal contribut-
ing factors in the defeat of Coun-
ty Attorney Larson was the ac-
tivity of the patriotic slackers in
the county who have been trying
to escape the draft, and whose
cases were appealed by Mr.. Lar
son from the local board. It
must be a great source of pride
to the democrats in Navajo coun-
ty to know they permitted the
defeat of an officer for renomi-
nation because he was rigidly try
ing to enforce the provisions of
the draft board, and induct a lot
of yellow-streaked fellows into
the army. These slackers were
the wealthy and influential citi-
zens, or some of their relatives,
and to punish Larson for doing
his patriotic duty they organized
and spent their money to defeat
his denomination. These same
yellow streaked whipper-snap-
pers were perfectly willing that
the poor boys of the county
should be forced into the army,
but when they discovered Mr..
Larson was not playing favorites
or selling his manhood to the
wealthy and influential citizens
who were looking for exemptions
for themselves or relatives, a
great cry went up from the dirty
towards, and they Immediately
organized a slackers' campaign
committee to defeat the man who
was so presumptious as to at
tempt to induct the wealthy and
influential into the service of the
government. Money that should
have been invested in Liberty
bonds and saving stamps was put
into a political pool to defeat
Larson. Let it be said, to the
everlasting disgrace of the dem
ocratic party in this county, that
they permitted a gang of dung
hill patriots, who were anxious
to save their hides from German
bullets. to encompass the defeat
of a loyal patriotic officer who
was not susceptible to bribery or
fiattery in his duty to enforce the
provisions of the draft law fairly
and impartially.

At the recent primary the re-

time and interest to make full and

lady's qualifications for the office.

known for her zeal and work in
the Red Cross, of which she has

and where her ability as an eX-
ecutive has been abundantly
demonstrated during the past
eighteen months, no word is

been a teacher in Arizona for six
years, teaching all the time in
Graham county, until her mar
riage and removal to Winslow.
Prior to coming to Arizona she
taught for six years in the public
schools in Michigan. Mrs. Gold
man is a finely educated woman,
of scholarly attainments and ex-
ecutive ability, and as the super
intendent of our county educa-
tional system would place our
schools on a high plane of ef-
ficiency. Mrs. Goldman expects
