We do not want in Washington a

COUNTY
ORGANIZES TO
= PROTECT LABOR
Representative Number Of Citixens
Endeavor to Garry Out Plan Of Ma.
5 tional Government. - Committees
Named for Each Beat.-Everybody
Expected to Cooperate.

In accordance with previous an
nouncement, representative number
of citizens of Grenada County met at
the Mayors office in Grenada We'd
nesday morning, July 10, at 10 o..
clock, for the purpose of carrying
out the plan of the State Labor Con-
! vention which met at Jackson, July 1.
The immediate proposition before the
meeting was the perfecting of an or
,, ganizati0n in Grenada county looking
to the stableizing Of labor and to the
protection of the loborer and the
land owner against the flattering
promises of the labor agent. One of
| the purposes was to see that all loaf
rs were relieved of their habit.
Mr.. j. b. Perry was made chairman
of the meeting and Mr.. w. A. Camp
bell secretary. Mr.. Perry made a
brief talk emphasizing the importance
Of what was before the organization.
He stressed the fact that what was
seeking to be done was in accordance
with the wishes Of the federal govern
ment and was one of the strong arms
by which the war must be won. Mr.,
| Perry referred to the fact that Mr..
Cliff Williams Of Meridian was at the
head Of the interpretation bureau
in Mississippi and that that gentleman
was doing what he could to perfect
organizations in every county within
state. Short talks were made by sew
eral different ones and all showed q
clear conception of the needs of the
hour and the Importance of getting
squarely behind the government in
this movement. Quite number of
the more substantial colored citizen.
ship OF the county were present and
gave the purpose Of the organization
their hearty approval and endorse
ment. In some respects the colored
population is better situated to render
distinct service than the white citi.
zens. Especially is the colored citi.
zen liable TO learn of the labor agents
sooner than any one else.

watches aeroplanes almost brush

These are some of the things Miss
Mable G. Alexander, a New Orleans

when she isn't caring for wounded

'It's like childhood days to me-"
wrote Miss Alexander to Miss L. Ag-

nursing Of the Gulf Division of the
Red Cross. Miss Alexander is with
the Ambulances des Allies not far
from the battle front. Her letter de-
scribes the beautiful estate on which
she is quartered, where her life is
hard but varied and interesting.
Miss Sallie E. Lawrence, another
New Orleans nurse now in France,
had hard time finding the way to
church in Paris.

EIGHT STATES ABOLISH CON-
MON SODA WATER GLASS
(By Roselle McNef)

Eight states, Arkansas. California
Indiana, Maryland, Ohio, Oklahoma
tennessee, Virginia and the District
OF Columbia, have practically abolish.
ed the common glasses at soda foun.
talns. In these states the individual
paper contalner, or various degrees of
Wasnlng or sterilization, are specified.
Inc Oklahoma and Virginia regula-
tlons are almost identical, and con-
tam the substance, if not the exact
form, OF the rules enforced in six
other progressive states. The Okla
homa Board of Health requirements
read:
thereafter, individual one-service
drinking cups shall be provided and
used in confectioneries and all other
places dispensing soft drinks, or other
beverages, where such establishments
DO not maintain and properly use ade-
quate facilities for the sterilization of
glasses or other vessels used in dis
penslng beverages Of all kinds. These
shall be destroyed Immediately after
Delng used to serve a customer.
Drinking glasses for beverages at
fountains, ETC., shall not be used the
second time unless sterilized in the in.
terim."
In a majority Of states, the gener-
al degree of sanitation is left largely
to the individual soda fountain pro
prietor. Many forwardlookine estab-
lisments have installed sterilizing ma
chimes, but sterilizing is satisfactory
only when there is sufficient time for
the proper sterilization of the glasses.
With a thirsty mob clamorine for
service, the majority Of employees, as
DR.. w. F. Cogswell, Secretary of the
Montana State Board of Health,
points ont, are apt to become care
less in the proper sterilization and
washing of glassware; hence the OBJ
!ectlonable feature. DR.. Cogswell, as
do DR.. Harry S. Barnard of the Indi-
ana State Board of Health and other
officers who have worked on the prob
lem, believes the sanitary service cup
to be the only solution of theproblem.

SEMI-ANNUAL MEETING
OF DIRECTORS.

The semi-annual meeting of the di-
rectors of the Grenada Bank was had
here on the 9th. Owing to-war con-
ditions, the meeting was purely a
business one. President Thomas
thought it not in keeping with the
spirit of the day to attempt any en-
tertainment features. The reports
from the several branch banks showed
most satisfactory conditions, indeed
that 1918 had been thus far one Of
the most prosperous in the history of
the Bank. The usual semi-annual
dividend was declared.

OUR BOYS IN FRANCE WANT NO

The following stirring appeal to

Samuel J. Kirkwood, secreary OF

war governor of Iowa, in the year
1861 made speech from the steps
OF the old capitol building in which
he said in substance:

there are traitors and spies in our
midst who would destroy this union,
If any man in this state is a traitor
to the cause or insults the flag, shoot
him in the act, or in the uttering Of
