The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1918-05-10

B. R. Thornbury Of, Atlanta. Mrs
Thornbury is one Of the efficient
workers in the Womans Auxiliary OF
the Southern Presbyterian church.
Mrs. c. s. Everts of Gulfport was
also a guest in this home for several
days last week. She has been the
Secretary Of the Mississippi Synodical
Auxiliary since its organization in
1912, and knows the work as few
women do. She made q helpful talk
to the Presbyterian women while
here which is sure to bear good fruit.
Both MRS. Thornbury and Mrs. Ev-
erts had visited the Ave Presbyterial
A~uxliiarles In this state before reach
ing Grenada, and report fine meetings
in each place.
Mr.. William w. Taylor left for his
home at Rison, Ark, last Friday af-
ter a several weeks stay in Grenada
where during which time has been
winding up his bushes affairs. They
had several cars of hickory near Tor
rance that had to be shipped. Mr..
Taylor and his father made a host
of friends in this County and Gre
NADIA during their stay here and
there r many who regret to see
them leave. Just before his depar-
he called at The Sentinel Office
and during the course of converse
ton he said that he had never been
in a place before that he hated to
leave as bad as he hated to leave Gre
NADIA, not ever excepting his own
town up In Tennessee. He, of course,
had The Sentinel follow him.

opinion was that because Of the war

j. Arthur Thomson's excellent little Intro
duction to Science occurs the following sug-
gestive sentence
1T is often we'll to follow our tendrils of spon-
taneOus interest towards subject which natur-
ally attracts but it is also we'll that we should
undertake difficult piece of work which
stretches brains"
Brain stretching, unfortunately is process
which many people perpetually neglect. And always
they neglect it to their detriment
No can achieve anything big without brain
stretching. Brains unstretched become habby and
jelly-like. They suffice only for mediocre work.
Too few appreciate this.
Thousands upon thousands Of men stretch their
brains only in early life at school and at the outset
of their business careers. Then they stretch them
only from sheer necessity.
Once they have, as they think, learned their
Job they settle down complacently to a routine,
brain-enfeebling existence.
They go to work promptly every morning. They
do what they told to do, and manage to do it
passably we'll. But neither at work nor away from
work do they stretch their brains.
Their leisure hours spent in 'restful'
amusements, often of great variety and never of
Demonstrating sort
Nightly perhaps they visit the theater or the
motion picture hall Perhaps they nightly play
cards. Perhaps they have passion for reading
of a sort.
1t is not reading that involves study Books
relating to business efficiency science philosO
ply social problems art history make
appeal to them whatever
They too tired to read anything but the
lightest fiction. Even while reading this they
may browse
Day after day, evening after evening, they thus
pass their time. Occasionally they get a grudging
raise in pay. Possibly they promoted to posi-
tions of little less Obscurity than those they have
been holding. But that is all.
ct these same men, by brain stretching, might
have raised themselves to affUence and Importance.
They might have become leaders, instead of re-
naming humble toers in the ranks.
Don't make their mistake, you who now

Recognize that your brain needs exercise as
much as any other part of yoar body. Recognize

Keep setting yourself hard mental tasks. From
time to time apply your mind to business problems,
scientific studies, social questiOns-tO something
mentally worth while, and difficult to you because
of it's novelty
If possible have a special study hour daily In
any case, don't let week go by without some brain

This will help to keep you alive, fOrceful, ener-
getic, and mentally expansive
It will compel appreciation by your employers
and by all whom you meet in a business way. Doors
of opportunity will be opened to you-dOors forever
shut to the men who are content to vegetate men

tative ones awake to your It is not too late
You can begin to stretch your brain at any time

To the MGLcontep1tS.

To those bristling malcontents who think they
know far better how to steer America through this
crisis than the President and his trusted advisors
do, the Cobb County Times seasonably points out
the case of Russia: You have seen Russia, with
population of one hundred and seEenty-fve million
an area Of more than eight and a half million
square miles, and a wealth of untold billions,
crushed and wrecked and ground under the heel of
the German Kaiser because there were too many
who thought they knew best how to govern the
nation and conduct its war
Any democracy that falls into this error and
dissension will meet Bolsheviki fate whenever it
is called upon to grapple issues of iron and blood
On the other hand a democracy that pulls itself to-
gether in time of peril and with a single mind
velop the extraordinary fighting power that springs
from collective free-will. Because it belongs to
this instead of to the Russian type, our republic
will prove eventually efficient in war than
the German autocracy is. But let us bear in mind
that this could never be, if the snarling malcon-
tents and opinionated critics amongst us had their
way If Congress had listened to its obstruction
lists instead of to its true leaders and had worked
against the Administration instead of with it, we
should never have had the Selective Service law or
the Food Control law Government shipbuilding
or any of the measures by which are effectually
organizing the nations strength and by which we
shall assuredy win.
Happily the great body of the American people
have enough sense as well as enough patriotism to
stand stanchy behind their chosen leaders in times
like these, merging the individual in the common
will 1t is just this that makes America strong
and just this that will keep her free

If the Government finds that advance in rail-
way freight and passenger tariffs is necessary for the
effective prosecution of the war the people will
it as cheerfully they pay the postal tax, the in
come tax, the excess profits tax and every other
levy to which the Government has resorted as a
means of carrying its tremendous burdens. But
they will pay it as matter of present war neces-
sity and virtually revenue, not justifca-
ton of the railroads previous petitions for rate ad
vances
1t will not be surprising if there efforts in
some circles of financial and political thought to
make it appear that the proposed increase vindi-
Gates all that the railroads asked for when they
under private control But arguments to
that effect would be plainly fallacious as also
would be a contention that the Governments
merging of all railway activities and interests to
meet the special needs of the war vindicates those
Wall street adventures in railroad pooling which
were intended not for the good of the service but
for the fabrication of huge fortunes in the hands
of few SPECTATORS
In principle, what the Government is doing
with the railroads is just the of what their
exploters once sought to do with them. The Gov
eminent is using them entirely for the good of the
country's common interests. But the nanciers that
once dominated the railroads sought to them,
not as great instruments of national service but
as tools of special privilege and economic oppres
sion. This of course not the policy of the
true executives and true builders of the railroads.
But everyone who knows anything of our business
and political history for the last two three dec
AIDES knows that in frequent instances this
the policy of the financial powers behind the
throne.
In principle, too, whatever rate increases the
Government may find it necessary to levy a
tax will be utterly different from those negotiable
rate increases which in times gone by the carriers
sought to impose, and did impose, before the days
OF watchful regulation. The American people will
pay billions to beat the Huns, and pay joyfully;
but not cent of tribute to special privilege and
adventurous finance

THE GODSAKERS
By DR.. Frank Crane

If am not mistaken. the phrase goes back
to Carlyle. A Godsaker is of those who go
about wringing their hands, in times of danger or
calamity and excaiming, For Gods sake, do
something"
The role of Godsaker is very easy to play.
That is why many play it. All you have to
do is to wiring your hands and cry.
But doing something" is another story.
Very often it is accomplished only through time
and patience and much contumely. And quite
as often il cannot be accomplished at all.
Managing a war, for instance, IS a stupen-
dous task 1t takes almost infinite intelligence,
vast accumulation and extraordinary co-ordina-
ton of facts, boUndess patience prophetic vision,
it right No war ever managed right. Ma
poleon, Kitchener and Grant made mistakes, and
frankly said
But while Doing Something is man size job
Godsaking needs only a stout pair Of lungs.
There isn't a business house in the United
States that could not be improved. There's al
ways something in the business that is shame
and disgrace and ought to be stopped. And
your first impulse when you find 1t out, is to
say to the boss, For Gods sake, do something!"
But he is doing something he has been and
will be doing something; aad when he gets it
done there will be something else to do.
Actual business is a continual recurrence Of
complications, disappOintments, bad guesses, be-
trayaIs' oppositions and what not. Godsaking is
a simple, easy job. All you have to do is to

STRETCH YOUR BRAINS.

gestiVe sentence.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1918-10-17
By TRUMAN A. DeWEESE

LIS hand is dripping with the
1 l blood of thousands of innocent
women and children. His hand is
reeking with unspeakable crimes
against Liberty and Justice and all
that civilization holds dear and
precious. Will you grasp it?
What is your answer to the
brazen impudence Of this arch
murderer? Your answer, thea answer
of every patriotic American, should
be: "More shells, more guns, more
man-power"--and that means more
Liberty Bonds. :".- 49,.
More Liberty Bonds, then more
lis the only answer: you can give.
You cannot go to the trenches, but
you can supply the only answer
that will reach the War Lord of
Europe. That answer is more
money for the Allies to crush the
Imperial tyrant. ..:... -.
If a man entered your home
and murdered your wife and chill
dren and burned your house to the
ground, would you stop to discuss
terms of peace withhim? Would you
parley with his red-handed agents?
If you finally overpowered him
and the neighbors were rushing in
to help you finish him, would you
read his beautiful essay announcing
his desire for an armistice and his
willingness to stop fighting?

DewEEsE
If you were real red-blooded
American you would smash him all
the harder. You would whip him
to his knees, and while you had
him by the throat you would make
him promise to pay for everything
he had destroyed. F..
This is the answer to the Beast
of Berlin, the man whose armies
have RACED and pillaged Belgium
and despoiled and burned the fair
est portion of France - the man
who ordered the sinking of the
Lusitania with it's precious cargo of
innocent women and children.
The President has answered.
Are you ready with your answer?
Your only answer is to buy more
bonds. If you fail to buy them you
are grasping the hand of the Hun
that is stained with the blood of
innocent thousands.
It is your war. 1t must be
fought to a finish and you must
help pay for it. Will you do it?
Then you must loan every dollar
you can spare to wipe this unspeak-
able Hun and his military machine
off the map of Europe.
Don't wait to have your soul
stirred by the music of the band or
the singing of a vast chorus. Don't
wait for the man on the stage to
tell you your patriotic duty. You
know your duty. You know what
the war costs and you know that
it is your war:
