relating anecdotes to an admiring au-
dience in the railway carriage.

been taken prisoner, of course-that
he once had 100 eggs given him, and
was ordered to distribute them
among company of 100 men. But,
somehow or other, one Of the eggs got
broken. The boche was troubled at
first as to how he was going to share

ABOUT WHEATLESS DAYS.

Major B. F. Thomas is just in re-
ceipt of the following letter from Mr.
p M. Harding, Federal Food Admin
istrator for Mississippi, which is self
explanatory:
eve expect you to enforce this
wheatless rule rigidly and you are
requested to inspect and investigate.
and when violations are reported and
come before you, you may hold hear
ings which must be open to the pub
lie and press, reporting your findings
to me.
No matter what the extenuating
circumstances, this means that no
violator will be shielded by having
his name withheld from the newspa-
pers. Where violations are proved,
Administrators are urged to follow
Immediately with such measures as
will be determined in consolation with
parties at Washington. This request
does not require you to investigate a
private home. These are handled
through the Grocery Stores, who are
required to sell but 6 TBS. of -four
per person per month.
1t is believed that the imperative
necessity for this measure will be un-
derstood and that its request will be
met with ready response from the in
telligent class.
Yours very truly,
P. NJ HARDING,
Federal Food Administrator

ocean from "our boys" in France,
Grenada countians gather at Gre

2 o'clock to hear the message to be
given you to initiate the third Lib

the mothers and the wives and the
sweethearts of those sons now in
camp or across the water "some-
where in France" will answer and be
on hand. Will you, the neighbors
and friends of these, be on hand to
show your interest? Your husband,
you son, your brother, your sweet
heart may not yet be in the army,
but if the enemy is not soon con-
quered he will be. 1t is a serious
matter. 1t is no little thing that YOU
are asked to do. 1t is one of the
most important steps the people of
Grenada county were ever called up
on to take. 1t will not do to say,
"let George do it, he'll be there" or
there will be plenty without me-"
The call is to every merchant, to ev-
cry farmer and to every other man,
woman and child in Grenada County.
Hon. Harris Dickson, noted author
and lecturer will be on hand and will
deliver an address at 2 o'clock Sat-

paying that-but the people here

LOCAL RED CROSS TO
ENLARGE ITS WORK

The local Red Cross Chapter is not
only planning to greatly energize the
work it has been doing for some
months but is preparing to study
bandage nursing. 1t is understood
that there is great need for more
work in bandage nursing and the Red
Cross organizations in every part of
the country are responding nobly to
this as to every other demand Of the
army. The Sentinel is asked to en-
phasize the fact that the invitation is
to each and every woman and young
lady in Grenada to take part in this
great work Let no body stand back
because they have not been invited.
Nobody should wait on an invitation
to do patriotic work in times like
these.

PROHIBITION NOTES.

At recent meeting of the Mis-
sissippi Anti-Saloon League, Rev. J.
NJ. Morse was unanimously elected
President of the League to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the death of
the late larnented Captain w. T. Rat
cliff; and Rev. l. w. Cooper, d. D.,
of BroOkhaven, was unanimously
chosen a member of the Board of Di-
rectors of the Anti-Saloon League
of America to succeed Captain w. T.
Ratcliff deceased. DIR. Cooper ranks
with the foremost educators of the
state, and he and Mr.. Morse are rec
'ognized as two of the foremost citi-
zens of the state, as well as able min
isters.
The League is planning for one of
its hardest years work. Instead of
its work being over, IT intends to put
the finishing touch on the long series
of years of work against the liquor
business by cleaning up the fragmen-
tary remains of the illicit liquor busi-
ness, and to lend a helping hand to
other sister states, and especially to
our nearest neighbor, Louisiana; for
as long as there is one wet state all
may be wet, or at least very damp.
Beginning in June the National
Anti i-Saloon League will put on a
statewide campaign of speakers Of
national reputation in the interest of
the ratification measure and of ma
tional prohibition generally. Captain
R. P. Hobson will fire an advance
gun in this campaign in the First
Baptist Church, Jackson, on April
18th at 8 P. NJ, on the Subject:

Several days ago the writer receiv.
ed the following letter from his ap-
preciated and esteemed friend, Mr.
ID. w. Patterson of Enid, and mas
much as Mr.. Patterson gave his per-
mission to publish the letter, space is
given it in this isuue:
Some one kind friend sent the
writer a copy of your excellent pa
per of last issue and made him SO
glad to peruse it. Twas like meeting
an old loyal friend you had not seen
in years. You just feel like "hug-
ging" him. Well l read everything
in the paper, from alpha to Omega"
and same was greatly enjoyed. Sol
dier Dubard writes entertainly. Our
hearts go with our soldier boys, spe-
ciaily those who go across the ocean
to fight for their country and de-
mocracy. The advertisements speak
well for the paper and the merchants
of Grenada, but more could follow
the profitable example of their COM
petitors. Grenada is justly entitled
1.-THE City. Beautiful and more, she
possesses so many excellent advant-
ages, to mention the more important
"the half had not been told"
Just now my mind runs back to
when l met the editor under the hos
pitiable roof of sincere friend to
both, down in old Tallahatchie. That
friend was a manly man and one of
the best ever reared in said county.
He was large in size, broad-minded,
genial, genteel, and generous, intelli-
gent, nay intellectual, gifted in con-
ersation, hence charmingly entertain
ed his friends. He was cordial, cour-
teous and comely. And he was so
unostentatious in dispensing charities.
the public generally knew not half.
He was kindly, knightly, nay king
among men, but a lovable one, con-
his purse was always open
to those in need. We miss him, his
smiling countenance, his wisdom in
counsel, but in the beautiful resur-
rection morn, we shall see in spotless
white, Lent Rice.

THE EYE OF THE NATION
ON GRENADA COUNTY
Grenada County's Quota for Third
Liberty Loan Bonds IL $780,
$4,000.

All is now set for the great Third
Liberty Loan drive for $4,000, ,000,-
600 with its over subscriptions.
Every county in every state in the
Union, and every town and city in
ters of the Liberty Loan Organiza-
tion at st. Louis, and 1T the Treas
ury Department at Washington
Each town, city and county has had
the quota of bonds it must take allot-
ted to it, and each will be expected
and must take the bonds assigned.
The Financiers everywhere. expect
ed the issue to be much larger than
the $4,000, 100000 required. Plans
were perfected for sale largely in
excess of this. Now with the or
CARNATIONS that have been effected
the quota should be subscribed in a
very brief campaign.
Many counties and towns have ad-
vised headquarters that their quotas
are already pledged, and with little
work the oversubscriptions will reach
sums that will show the World that
the patriotism. of the people has been
aroused to high pitch; will show
our Allies across the water that the
United States may be depended on
to do it's part, and will demonstrate
to the Kaiser and all Germany that
every man in this Nation and every
dollar of Americas wealth will be en-
listed in the war that is to sweep
Prussianism from the face of the
Earth. -
For the Third Liberty Loan Gre
NADIA County's quota has been fixed
at $137,550. The county in the sec
ond Liberty Loan had 100000 for
its minimum; the target was $751;
500, the actual subscription totaled
$120,000, and was taken by 121 sub
scribers.

Grenada, Miss, April 2, 1918.
10 The People of Grenada County:
| Having been officially designated
by the Treasury authorities at Wash
ington as Chairman of the Third lib
erty Loan drive for Grenada county.
l wish to urge upon our citizenship
the greatest possible activity to meet
every thing that is expected of US.
A people who have been blessed with
the history ours have; a people who
come from the noble and honored
parentage that we do and peopIe
who enjoy SO abundantly the privi-
leges and benefits that come of the
operation of the greatest and best
government the world ever knew as
we do, have much to be thankful for
and much is expected of us. there
fore feel that all that is necessary to
say to Grenada county, is that we are
called upon to do our WHOLE duty.
We have had years OF. peace and
prosperity. Our lines as a Nation
have fallen in pleasant places. Surely
ours has been goodly heritage. With
all that has been showered upon us.
we ought the more readily respond to
every appeal in behalf of humanity.
The call of patriotism, / am sure, will
never fall upon deaf ears in. Grenada
county. The great struggle in which
nearly the whole civilized world is
now engaged and into which our own
beloved land went with reluctant
step, is a war of might against right;
it is war of tyranny against JUS
tice; it is war of brutality against
womanhoOd, and the principles taught
by the Prince of Peace. In an hour
like this we must be men, real men.
This struggle can not be fought out
on paper; Oratory will not destroy
single piece of destruction used by
our enemies-these are all fine in
their places but it takes money to feed
ou Co. ! US on the battle lines and
1t e oney to supply them with
arr ill you do your part? We
mu . d the flag of our country.

y" .and of what Germany is now
doing in France and in Belgium.
Surely America can not afford to
pass by on the other side" when the
groans and the agonies of the women
and theF children. of Europe are din
ming iD III ears. The Liberty BJnd
is not donation, it is an investment
and IS backed by everything that
makes the deed to your home and
all other property in our country Sc
cure. Will you do your part in buy
ing bonds, or will it be necessary fer
the Government to point it's finger at
you and say "Thou>art the man that
could and would not, go thou where
others are being sent who are trying
to undermine our country.?" Be on
hand for the Liberty Loan Rally here
