"Why should ] lot wear in the United

England is now talking of
building a tunnel under the Eng
lish Channel from her shores to
the shore Of France. The dis
tance we suppose is about 80
miles. The intention is to put a
railroad through this tunnel, thus
avoiding the danger of travel on
the channel work, they say, is to
begin at once. Engineers declare
the tunnel can be made in five
years. If this proves a success,
we may expect to hear Of d tun-
mel to be built under the Dardan-
nells near Constantinople; thus
connecting Asia Minor with
Europe, by rail. Another project
is being talked of, that digging
beneath the straits of Gibraltar
and connecting African Main
land with Europe. Get your map
and run your eye down through
Middle Europe south eastward
to the points indicated spove,
and then you will begin to, be a.
mazed that this world do move
if these three engineering feats
materialize. Yet it is impossible
barring wars-to accomplish
these great undertakings before
the millennium dawn

LET RANKIN COUNTY
TAKE THE LEAD
Rural Telephone System Suggest.
ed by Mr.. McLaurin.

Brandon Miss, April 5, 1918
Editor News: Please al
low me space in your
valuable paper to say a few
words on a subject which / think
is very important to the people Of
Rankin county, and especially to
the people who live in the coun-
try.
If the United States Govern
ment will build, maintain and op-
crate telephone lines on all the
mail routes. it will be of vast
benefit to the people, and / think
the revenue will be sufficient to
pay the expenses.
/ do not advocate building the
lines all over the United States
at once; but, the Government
certainly ought to try out the
proposition and why not make
the try-out in Rankin county.
If the test is satisfactory, and
the operation in Rankin county
is self-sustaining, the Govern
ment can make extensions gradu-
ally until the whole country is
supplied with telephones.
When we look back and see
how long the cities had free mail
delivery before the Rural Routes
were established, and consider
the fact that Rural life will be
so greatly improved by good
telephone system, we will see the
Importance of making a vigor-
Gus, united and intelligent cam
paign in this direction.
| believe that if the people of
Rankin county will ask Congress-
man Collier to introduce a bill in
Congress on this line, he will
gladly do so. He is always ready
to serve the people, and l believe
he will give this his hearty en-
dorsement.
Berry sincerely,
Sidney L. McLaurin.

to purchase and wear the Rec
Cross official general service in,

bon, bar and safety catch, and fol
men, button to be worn in the
coat lapel.
Only through. the loyal and pa
triotic service OF it's members was
the Red Cross able to carry on
successfully the tremendous task
allotted to it. It was the endeav-
ors of many to make this accom-
plishment possible, but as is al
ways the case, there are few
who carried the heavier burden
and made greater sacrifices. In
recognition of such services,
National Headquarters and Di-
visional Headquarters are to is
sue certificates which will carry
with them the right to wear the
service badge. This certificate
will only be given to those who
by long, faithful, efficient service
have eearned the right to wear
the service badge.
Certificates will be awarded to
all persons who have given regu-
lar service during period of not
less than six consecutive months
