Dispatches from Welmar declared
that the national assembly would at
once take up the peace treaty and that
a majority for Its ratification was as
sured. The Germans had been noti-
fed that the blockade would be lifted
as soon as the pact were ratified, and
they expressed the hope that German
prisoners Of war would be released at
the same time. As an earnest OF their
good intentions the Germans ceased all
warfare on the Poles simultaneously
for some time and not without a pro-
sailles. Released from danger In that
direction, the Poles turned all their
attention to the Gaiician-V -Volhynian
front starting counter-offensiye in
which they claimed to have broken
the Ukrainian resistance and regained
control OF important towns and rail-
ways. There Is no assurance, how
ever. that Germany will not again
break out on the east front, for accord
ing to correspondents she has. since
the armistice. reorganized an army of
about 1OOO,0OO men and gathered
equipment for three times that num-
Der, including as many airplanes Ms
she had when she surrendered. OF
course all this Is contrary to the
terms Germany accepted, and II the
stories are true the allies will have
TO get busy again. The Germans Gun
be trusted In one respect, and one
only. They will evade the treaty II
1t is possible for them to do so.
The French foreign office gave out
the texts of the proposed agreements
Of France with the United States and
Great Britain designed to protect
France against unprovoked aggression

Various plans are being devised by
the Germans to save the former kaiser
from trial and punishment, including
the formation Of national league

life Won Bethmann-Hollweg for

Senator Borah. rampant opponent Of
the league, broke out In a new place
last week, with charges that the propa-
ganda Of the league to enforce peace,
headed by ex-President Taft, is
financed by Wall street, Mr.. Taft's or
ganlzation glories In the fact that most
Of Its financial support comes from
men Of big business and broad vision.
IT may be-" said Senator Borah,
"that the occasion for the opposition
upon the part of small men Is not q
limitation Of vision; 1t may possibly
be that their investments are not the
same and their interests are not the
same.
1T may be that they are conflning
themselves to the interests of their
own country and believe In the tradi.
tions and policies Of their country, and
II may possibly be that those who
take wider view of the matter are
those who have large investments IN
other countries, and who propose to
have more investments there, which in.
vestments will be worth very little un.
less they are underwritten by the Unit.
ed States government"
II Is not easy to see why American
business men should be criticized be.
cause they wish to see peace perma.
nently established In Europe so that
they can resume trade, commerce and
Industry with the Europeans, An In.
stance Of what they are getting ready
to do is supplied by the news that
three great American construction con-
Germs have been awarded q contract
for the rebuilding of the Nancy district
OF France at an estimated figure Of
$250,0O0,0OO, which sum may be dou-
bled.

HON. JNO. r. ALLEN
SEEKS REELECTION.

The Sentinel has been duly advised
by Hon. Jno. +. Allen of Kosciuskp
to place his Eame before the voters of
Grenada county and Of this judicial
district as a candidate to succeed him
pe!f in the office of district attorney
Mr.. Allen was elected four years age
He has measured well up to the stan
dards of his predecessors in this very
important office and undoubtedly he
is better prepared to render better
service now than when first honored
with an election
Mr. Allen is an honest, upright
citizen and enjoys the confidence of
his friends and neighbors at home and
of the people fthe district to mark
ed degree. 1t therefore will not be
denied that he possesses the first re
.quisite in old Democratic standards
for office--honesty and integrity. He
is no mediocre lawyer but on the con-
trary his success as a district attOr-
Hey has shown that he is alert and
alive to every interest Of the state
and that the guilty have found in
him terror to their dreams. Mr..
Allen, while being a vigorous prose
cutor, is in no sense prosecutor. 1t
has been his aim to be fair and just
and to take advantage ofno mere
technicality to infiict the mandate OF
the law on an innocent person. He
is, anemnable to reason and his cars
are open to the voice Of the law-en-
forcing sentiment Cf the district.
With Mr.. Aliens record as dis
trict attorney and with his standing
rs citizen behind him, he will un-
questionably prove most formidable
candidate in the race for district at
to!ney regardless of who opposes
him.

JACKSON, MISS. T SD. 10. lS1S

''Dear Sir
I'm reply to your letter of Zebra
ary 18th, relative to the ordinance
which was passed by the City Coun-
ell of Grenada forbidding the keeping
of hogs in a small enclosure within
the city limits. beg TO advise as fol
lows:
First: think your Council IS
eminently correct in its position rela-
tive to the hog question within the
city.
Second: There is no disease
breeding quality about keeping hogs
provided it is done under sanitary
conditions within the city limits. /
should say that if hogs are permitted
to be kept in pens of small size, say
ten feet square, or even somewhat
larger. in my opinion the only way to
have sanitary hog pen under such
circumstances would be to leave the
hog out of it.
Third: 1t is a well known fact
that flies breed where filth accumu-
lates. Flies carry disease, therefore
if hogs are kept in small pens filth
will inevitably accumulate and serve
as fly breeding places.
Fourth: The odor from small
hog pen will Of necessity be greatly
increased because of the continuous
accumulation of filth in limited area
The odor would be nuisance TO peo-
pie living in the community. Ihe
Mississippi statue provides that nu,-
sances shall be abated upon COM
plant. | therefore think that for this
as well as other reasons, your City
Council is acting in good faith with
your people by passing the referred to
ordinance.
81 am great believer in hog rals-
ing or any productive activity for the
benefit of the people, but l think that
there are certain conditions that must
be required and observed on the part
of the people regardless of our Inter
est in such profitable and helpful
undertaking.
.With kind personal regards, l am
your friend"

1t is well known that Mr.. Winter is
Justly regarded as one fthe best in

cautious and careful and can be
coun. cd upon in all affairs to measure

he as a legislator Naturally there
fcrC when the session of The leglsla-

able and experienced Legislators In
that body, and with his keen intellect,
h. was not long in determining the
c1llbor ana the V2iue OF tilc SoC.iilSo
leaders. He tied himself TO nobody
but sought the counsel of all and rea-
soned with all. thus it was that it was
but little while before he impressed
la;nse!f upon the house as one Of
tho.e seasoned in Judgment and arm
&c. Wit hfacts to fortify any position

should ask a reelection. He is better

ideals, his fidelity and integrity OF
purpose as we'll as his we'll known

take occasion to give his views on
current matters before the people OF

HIS LETTER.

The following correspondence with
DR.. w. S, Leathers Director of Pub

Dear Doctor:
Recently the City Council of Gre

bids the keeping of hogs in an en-
closure within the corporation limits
of the town, in a pen or other en-
closure less than so feet square; in
other words there must :, be $500
square feet for each hog.
81 am advised that there are being
some steps taken to get the Board to
rescind this ordinance, or to modify
it, so that hog can be kept in pen
10 feet square.
"Quite a great deal Of latitude was
allowed here last year during the war
activities, as you well know, in obe-
dience to the mandate of the Govern
ment to raise food. There were pig
pens in all parts Of the town. Your
position as Health Director puts you
where you can, and no doubt have in
vestigated the matter closely of hogs
pertaining TO the health of a COM
munity.
"You are also aware of the splendid
record Grenada has as q clean and
pretty town. would be glad to have
an official statement from you as to
wha: constitutes a sanitary hog pen.
and also what you think of the ordi-
nance requiring $500 square feet to
each hog. and any other observation
YOU see fit TO make l am sure will be
appreciated by the community.
Thanking YOU in advance, am
with best wishes, and kindest regards.
"Sincerely your friend"

BIG DAY AT GRENADA.

Feb. 18th was great day in Gre
NADIA. Farmers of both races from
all parts of the Count were on hand
and every bank, barbershop, garrarge
mercantile establishment, lumber
yard and every other business closed
its doors and people from town and
country mingled and discussed to-
gether business prospects for the COM
ing year.
The trial Of King cotton took place
at the Opera House and lasted from
One till three o'clock. After per-
fectly fair and impartial trial the
aged King was acquitted of all ex-
cept three charges, namely, tyrany,
extortion and robbery and for these
offenses he was punished as follows !:
His title of King was given to Lord
corn, all Of he land that the King had
ported and robbed until il is now
helpless was turned over to Lady
Lesperdesa. Two thousand acres
was ceded to Senator Sweet Potato
and 800 acres to Representative Irish
potato. Some Of his richest lands
were taken away and given to Miss
Dairy while Mr.. Swine was hailed as
hero of the day and allowed to select
the best in all the realm. Queen Poul-
try with the tender blush of youth
then stepped up to embrace Lord
Corn the new made King and PROM
ised her untiring and undivided sup
port that they might make their king
dom, Grenada, the greatest and most
prosperous county in the State.
When Judge Prosperity pronounced
this sentence the deposed king arose
and with bowed head exclaimed, "lf
l can't get a whole loaf I'll take a
half and while l ambadly. dishgured
/ am still in the ring"
During the last siX weeks Grenada
County has shipped IL cars Of corn,
4 cars of hay, cars cattle, ii cars
of hogs and car molasses. 1900
bushels of seed Irish potatoes and
10000 pounds of fertilizer is now
in the yard ready for distribution.
Through the instrumentaiity OF the
Farm Demonstrator l9 self feeders
have been built and many OF our
-ssrmcrs are finishing hogs for Spring
shipments. Mr.. d. J. Smith in feed
ing test from JAN 22 to Feb. 4th
sold 81 bushels OF his corn at S4.9T
per bushel.
Hot-air rallies and good resolutions
are alright provided you back them up
with the real thing and that is what
Grenada County proposes to do.

Amended In 1918


During the 1918 session of the Mis-
sissippi legislature the law of 1917
was so amended as to allow corpora
tions already holding lands to farm
not exceeding 90 per cent OF their
holdings for limited periods. While
business men contend that was some
concession, still the limitations are
such that capital will not come INTO
the state and develop the lands on
large scales.
It is said that concerted and vigof-
Gus campaign will be conducted all
over the state by progressive business
men to have. candidates for the next
legislature pledge themselves to vote
for an amendment to the, 1912 law
that will wipe it off Of the statute
books of the state.
I the case above cited substantial
business men contend that was some
wards of 800. 900 right away near
