teous clerk than was Stokes Robert
son during the four years that he
served, and as we came to know him,
we developed for him a regard that
was keen and sincere.
In 1915 he was among the several
candidates for Revenue Agent, and
after a spirited campaign, was nomi-
mated in the second primary by a
large majority. He has served for the
past four years in that capacity, and
has devoted all of his time and given
all his energy to the proper perform
ance of his duties, and as result has
turned into the Golfers of the State
Of Mississippi quite lot of money
from corporations and others who
were not paying their just share of
the taxes, which the law demanded
of them. He has always been cour-
teous and considerate in his actions,
both private and official, and has al
ways tried to avoid bringing useless
and vexatious litigation. The writer
has. had occasion to be with him and
to realize and know the work that he
has done, and we say with all sin
cerity, that no man in Mississippi
could have better performed the du-
ties of the office or been more faith
full to the trust than has Stokes Rob-
ertson.
The Temocratic custom is in these
State places, TO give a faithful and
efficient official the endorsement of a
second term, and Mr.. Robertson is
again candidate, asking the people
for this endorsement.
We take pleasure in saying to the
people Of Calhoun County that we
know him to be in every way a good
man and true, and that he is the
proper man for the place. We vouch
for him.-Calhoun Monitor.

"You did that, all right" said Broth
er Bacon.
"Pray continue" said Miss Ham.
''In the second place the word Sc
lect means choice, or especially nice.
AT select party everyone is left out
who isn't very superior"
"Well," said Miss Ham, "that word
IS rather silly, consider. For, who In
the pen, or under the sun, or the moon
for that matter, is able to decide the
select ones and the ones not select"
Sometimes" said POrky Pig, "that
word can be OverdOne. People who
are really only snobbish think they can
call themselves select. Oh well, let
them, say. They miss lot of fun
by not meeting lots Of nice people"
"Where did you get so many ideas~
asked Brother Bacon.
"From listening and paying atten-
tiOn," sQuealed POrky, proudly.
"Well, Grandfather, are you snOb?
Or why are we having select party"
asked Brother Bacon.
"Ah no, l am thankful to say that
we aren't snObs," said Porky. "But it's
just as well for us to be quiet and
select. You see when one gives q
party one doesn't want to have too
many at it."
isn't that rather a new idea for a
party?" asked Miss Ham.
"Yes," said Porky, sit is. Parties are
usually supposed to be sOclable with
plenty of people and plenty Of fun and
plenty Of food"
'"Then why are you having a select
party?" asked Brother Bacon.
Because" said Porky Pig, II want
TO keep it quiet, and l don't want to
ask too many other pigs. If did there
wouldn't be enough food for us"
''That's why want it to be select,
so you see am not a snOb." n
"Not a snob," said Sammy Sausage,
''merely pig"
mo rude remarks, young pig" said
Grandfather POrky. Tomorrow you
know is my birthday. And l thought
it would be nice to have party. OF
course parties are usually jollier when
there are lots at them-but was think
ing of the food"
1T would be awful for me not to
have enough to eat on my own birth
day. So l decided l would merely have
my own family at the birthday celebra-
tion and that I wouldn't ask anyone
outside the family. That always keeps
things quiet.

second cousins from the next pen.
had to think some time before l could
make up my mind whether to have
them or not. One must be careful not
to grow too friendly with second cous-
ms. They might think they were al
most in the family and could use our
handkerchiefs which we haven't got,
or our food which we have got, as a
rule"
''But the second cousins might bring
presents of food" said the other pigs
and as soon as that was suggested, the
second cousins were asked to the birth
day party!

tiOn as May Be Essential to
Safeguard Rights and Free
dom of Wage Farmers.

national and international unions af-
filiated with the American Federation
of Labor were called today to meet
here December IS. 'to formulate such
action as may be essential to safe
guard and promote the rights. inter-
ests and freedom of the wage earn
ers."
The call, issued by the federation's
executive council and the heads of the
four railroad brotherhoods, declared
labor was confronted with grave
dangers affecting the very foundation
of it's structure" and that it was i'm
perative that the responsible repre-
sentatives of the worker agree upon
fundamental principles" which will
maintain. 1.-The right of free men,"
No specific topics for discussion
were outlined but it is known that
pending anti-strike legislation will be
one of the principal subjects. Other
matters expected to be taken up in
clude collective bargaining and the
right of organized labor to choose its
own spokesman as it sees fit, subjects
which finally resulted in the dissolu-
ton of the national industrial con-
ference called by president Wilson.
