Over the Top in the War Savings
Drive.
Chairman Speakers Bureau.

Noxubee county is still lover the
Top" in the War Savings campaign
Saturday was observed as Thrift Day
over the county. and large sales were
reported at Brooksville, ~Shuqualak ano
Macon. 1t is estimated that the sales
at Macon went to the SIS, 900 mark in
subscriptions and cash sales and thai
the majority of the SIS, 900 was cash
The success of the day at Macon is
due to the untiring work Of a few OF
the committeeman and the efforts OF
the Camp Fire Girls and Boy Scouts.
The Camp Fire Girls pinned buttons OF
those who had bought and also aidec
directly in the selling. Two of tn,
girls, Ellenor Harkins and Maud Yates,
made over two hundred sales and solo
over $500 worth of Stan. ps. Matte j.
Tomlinson, Fan Common, Annie Mae
Grace, Annie NJ C Common, Sybil Tom
%linson. Ruth Allen. Helen Carleton, EN-
Yates and Duvergne McCorquodale also
reported sales.
The Boy Scouts sold nearly SO, 900 in
cash sales during the day. The Scouts
are working for the best troop record in
Mississippi. Several Of the boys have
already won Achievement buttons and
two or three of them have won Ace
Medals, medals offered by Mr.. McAdoo
to every registered Boy Scout who sells
as much as $3.50 in stamps to as many
as twenty-five different purchasers.
Sessions FAINT and Lucian Dent have al
ready gone much above this record and
Others have topped it. The boys are
still working.
Another service rendered by the
Scouts Saturday was the parade. The
Troop marched down Jefferson street
to the court house and back to the M.
& F. Bank corner, where they halted
for the speaking. They carried banners
urging people to buy the stamps. Two
of the boys carried the Kaiser hanged
to a pole, and on a truck three scouts
had the "Kaiser's Goat" with a poster
Buy Stamps and Helm the American
BOYS Get the Kaiser's Goat"
The address of the morning was made
by Rev. f. N. Broyles who electrified
the large crowd with a patriotic mes
sage. He was followed by Prof. Nc
Mlllin who announced where the Stamps
were on sale and urged all to prove
their patriotism by purchasing War
Savings Stamps.

Needing Heavens Help.

As Capt. Bob Banks once re-
marked when it became evident
that Vardaman -Bilboism would
be swept into power, ''The dear
old state is playing her white
chips and needing heavens
help" That his remark was
prophetic is being evidenced ev-
cry day by the naseous reports
of the conduct of our highest
state official, the latest being the
report of the committee which
investigated the Old Soldiers
Home at Beauvoir. Regarding
this the Vicksburg Herald says:
The Beauvoir investigation by a leg
~islative committee gets nowhere. In
asmuch as it embraces no recommends.
tion Of action, The Herald can perceive
no good purpose in the report. 1t is
merely cumulative testimony of the
fact that the state has for its Governor
a shameless prostitute-a degenerate
so lacking in the sense of decency as to
be beyond the reach of moral suasion or
influence. But why offend the public
sense by piling up evidenc, of Missis-
sippi's degradation? And the worst of
it all is that the little sawed-off runt'
is merely running true to form. Noto-
riously his life was all splotched over
with like exploits to those exposed in
the two Investigations - the Old Soldiers
Home and the designation branch of
the state asylum. He was chosen Gov

CONVOY ATTACKED

LONDON.-Rev. Father Joseph Wareing, who was one of a party of Red Cross workers returning to England on a convoy which in cluded ships carrying American troops and Red Cross workers, graph ically describes two attempts made on Sunday by German submarines to sink the convoy.
 The U boats attacked in force from several directions and were promptly engaged by the protecting destroyers who soon got the range and maintained rapid and deadly fire, sinking some and compelling others to submerge and retire from the action.
 It is certain that few of the at tacking submarine squadron were sunk, but the exact number could not be ascertained.
 It is believed that the two attacks were made by separate submarine squadrons operating in the Channel.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo has sub- mitted a plan for the raising of eight billion dollars during the com ing fiscal year through taxation, his plan being to take eighty per cent of all war profits to triple the present four per cent rate on incomes.
 Reports submitted to congress show that twenty-four billions will be reuired during the coming fiscal year to defray the expenses of the nation, and Secretary McAdoo hopes to be able to induce congress to dis tribute a large part of the burden among those who are making money on war orders and those who con- trol the wealth of the nation.
 It is expected that the plan will be vigorously opposed.

NAVY OFFICIALS EXPECTING MORE
 RAIDS SOON
Believed That Late Activities Ger. tain to Be Followed by Others
 At Early Date. ..

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Notwith- standing the fact that no vessels have been reported sunk by German submarines off the Atlantic coast during the past few days, officials of the navy are maintaining the closest watch on coast waters, firm in the belief that the late raid will be followed very soon by others, possibly of greater magnitude. The possibility of German submarines lurking off the coast of the United States must be regarded as a con- tinuing factor in American meas ures.
 Naval officials declare that so long as the enemy divers are at large it never will be safe again to assume that American waters are free from this menace.
 There is an unconfirmed report in circulation to day to the effect that submarine was either sunk or captured off Virginia Capes. Off cials are of the opinion that the raiders are moving south.

Mrs. Leon kellum's Departure for North Delayed One Month

Mrs. Leon Kellum, at one time nurse in the Commission hospital and who went Outside last fall to visit her mother, expects to be back in Nenana at no very distant date.
 She had arranged to come in on one of the very first boats and had made her plans accordingly but was prevented from doing so owing to the illness of one of her brothers.
 Writing from Sacramento, under date of May 10, to her husband, she states that her brothers illness has been diagnosed as scarlet fever and that the house has been quar- antined for month, thereby delay ing her departure for the North for the duration of the quarantine period.
 The quarantine regulations in force in sunny California would ap- pear to be very stringent and Mrs. Kellum states that she will not be permitted to mail a letter during this period.
