LEST WE FORGET.

Are you still thinking of the mass
meeting called for Monday, Decem-
Der l, at IL O'Clock? Have you been
thinking of the things that are going
to make the Hancock County Fair
a success? Have you once thought
of the benefits to be derived from
good County Fair, and of the great
work that can be done in Hancock
county along this line?
We feel very much indebted to The
Sea Coast Echo for it's suggestions
from time to time, in regard to the
future success Of the Hancock County
Fair. | am well pleased with its sug
gestion and stressing the commercial
side of the fair, and feel that should
be a feature worthy of considerat-
ton and advancement. / feel sure
that the commercial side of the fair
of the coming year is going to be
one of the principal features, and |
stand ready to give it my support,
time and attention as far as neces-
sary.
The feature of the fair that | am
going to be compelled to give my
strongest support, is that industry
on which all others are. dependent.
Without which the peanut parchers
would cease to roll; the factory
whistles would call no more and the
strikers would strike for something
more than higher wages and shorter
hours.
The industry of agriculture cannot
be overlooked, and here are some of
the things about farm life that real
county fair should help us solve.
Are the boys and girls happier in
the city? Are they better educated
in all that pertains to life? Are they
as thoughtful, steady and sane as the
boys and girls on the farm? viii
they average as high in all that goes
to make good citizenship?
These are for each of US to solve
for ourselves; however, statesmen
and thinking men and women have
answered them for us all. They have
pointed out over and over again,
that the leaders in manufacturing,
transportation, commerce and war are
usually farm-raised boys. They have
called our attention to the fact that
as soon as a city man acquires fair
competence, he wishes to buy farm
which his children can have as heri-
tage-open air, the feel of the
ground beneath their feet, and the
companionship of living, growing
plants and animals. From the day
of Washington, our greatest states
man have realized that farm life is
favorable to clean, clear thinking and
right living; and today this is more
true than ever, for in the clean en-
vironment of country life, in modern
homes, and with special attention to
sound education, farm children de-
veiop into clear-cut, clean-minded
youths, who are the bulwark of our
nation, we'll educated, clear thinking,
sane Americans. Let us do Iour bit
by making good start, for fair the
coming year that will mean much to
the future of Hancock County.

County Demonstration Agent.

BURLESON APPROVES

Limits.

Postmaster General Burleson has
approved pending bills to reduce the
rate of first-class letter postage TO
a penny an ounce. A letter for dellv-
erv within the postal limits of the OF
flee in which it is mailed would take
a one-cent stamp instead OF a two

Mr.. Burleson has advised con-
o.ressmen that the present two-cent
charge on chat class of mail exceeds
the cost of handling and that he rec

Death of Mrs. Madeline Landrieu
Keller.

Mrs. A. u. Gragnon received
message Monday telling of the death
at Houston, Texas, of her sister, Mrs.
Madeline Landrieu Keller, which oc-
Cured on the morning of that day at
1874 o'clock, after a years illness.
Mrs. Keller had lived for years at
Franklin, La, but of late resided with
a son at Houston. She had been at
the Baptist Sanitarium for quite
awhile, where every ministration pos
sible was given her, but her ailment
was such that time only made greater
inroads and the inevitable was not
unlocked for.
Mrs. Keller was native of Bay st.
Louis, born here on the old Landrleu
place (now the Voorhies farm), 68
years ago. She was the youngest Of
five children, namely: Mrs Celine
Gardebled, deceased; Mrs. Elinor
Fayard, Mrs. Amelie U. Gragnon;
Henri Landrieu, deceased; and Vic
tor Landrieu, of New Orleans In ad-
dition to the surviving brother and
two sisters, there are four sons.
The remains were conveyed from
Houston to the old home at rankin,
La, where the funeral took place
from the residence of her son, S. F.
Keller, Tuesday afternoon, the 25th,
at 4:30 o'clock, with services at the
Catholic church, which faith the de-
ceosed had been a lifelong and de-
Nout member Mrs. Gragnon and
her daughter, Miss Amelie, left ct
once for Franklin on receipt of the
sorrowful news and were present for
the funeral.
Mrs. Keller will be remembered
by many of the older residents of Bay
St. Louis. She frequently visited
here after her marriage, but of late
years owing to her advanced age and
i'll health did not make as frequent
trips as she was wont to do.
Mrs. Gragnon, Mrs. Fayard and
the other local relatives have the SYM
pathy of the community in their be-
reavement, and the local heart IS
we'll goes out to the immediate and
other relatives residing away. Mrs.
Keller was an excellent woman, and
her demise removes one who was
loved wherever she was known, and
whose charities were many and no.

CIGARETTES DUE TO
TAKE ANOTHER JUMP.

New York, Nov. 24.-The high
cost of smoking is going higher. One
of the largest concerns with branches
in all parts of the country, that the
retail prices of popular American
"blends" of cigarettes, now retailing
at eighteen cents a package of 20
would be advanced to 20 cents, or
something over II per cent, about
December 1. The raise, it is declared,
to make up an increase of 80 cents
a thousand in the wholesale price.
Higher cost of cigarette tobacco Is
blamed for the advance.

HARRISON BRANDS
LODGE PROPOSALS
INSULT TO ALLIES
The Defeat of the Peace Treaty
Source of Qualification to
Germany, Says Senator.
IMPOSSIBLE TO FORECAST
WHAT SENATE WILL DO.
The Senator Gives 1t as His Opinion
That All Hooper Cent. Ameri-
cans Favored the League.

Senator Pat Harrison, who arrived
on the coast, was asked about the
probable ratification of the Peace
Treaty when Congress reconvenes
next Monday, and said:
''It is impossible to forecast what
the Senate will do. The Republican
leaders in the Senate think they are
playing politics. The foreign rela-
tions committee which reported the
Lodge resolution with reservations
was dominated by the uncompromis-
ing opponents of the League of Ma
tions. The reservations in the Lodge
resolution we're of such a chracter
and incorporated solely for the pur-
pose of destroying the treaty.
"They destroyed the plan for a
League of Nations and if adopted
would have insulted every nation with
which we were associated in the pros
ecution of the war. The defeat Of
the treaty was most disastrous, and
while it was extremely gratifying 10
Germany, 1T was distressingly sorrow
full to the rest of the world.
Nothing could have happened
that would have added more to the
unsettled condition of business, the
unrest among the people, and given
greater encouragement to Bolshev-
ism than the defeat of the treaty.
We are now deprived of representa-
ton on the various commissions now
at work in Europe and the leadership
that was rendered to the United
States through the unexpected gal
lantry of our fighting forces over
seas, in trade, commerce, finanace and
influence of every kind is gone.
''It is an outrage that no voice
representing the United States will
be heard in every European coun-
ell, insuring our agricultural, indus
trail and banking interests an equal
ity of treatment in the great work
of reconstruction throughout the
world.
lodge says the treaty is dead,
but its adoption is now political
question. Although the Democratic
minority in the Senate will do every
thing within its power TO have the
treaty ratified as soon as possible
when Congress reconvenes and viii
accept certain reservations interpre-
tive of the true meaning of the treaty,
it will not accspt such reservations
that will nullify the treaty, humiliate
our representatives abroad and IN
suit our associated countries.
"The friends of the treaty have
had much against which to contend.
every pro-German, every Sim
Fein sympathizer, every partizan Re
publican and every repudiated Demo-
cratic leader who stays in the public
eve by constant agitation and appeal
ing to the prejudice of the people
and whose sympathies were thrown on
the side of Germany in the late war
have employed every unfair means
and used every deceptive practice to
mislead people as to the true purpose
on the League of Nations. The sensi-
bic, independent, 100 per cent. Am
orleans, in my opinion, favor the plan
such as embodied in the treaty that
will make for peace and preserve the
civilization of the world"

Bap ST. Enl1tH.
FOR THE SEA COAST ECHO.
BY DR.. HAROLD N. GUILFoYLE.

In Bay St. Louis by the sea,
The white bungalows SO peacefully
Clean amid palm and live-oak tree,
Meath ever sunny skies.
Ger the banquettes myrtles lean,
Their delicate pink and palest green
Mingle with china-berries sheen,
To gladden. human eyes,
The white she'll roads their vistas sweep
With Magnolia blossoms scented deep,
And trailing grey moss pendants sweep
From cypress arches tall.
So placidly the green gulf CLEANS,
At times it's tranquil bosom seems
A mirror for enchanted dreams,
Which hold the soul in thrall.
The south wind, fragrant with the balm
Of Carib spice and Cuban palm,
Soothes the troubled soul to calm,
And breathes lifes endless JOY.
The fishing boats upon the Bay
Drift slowly to and fro, or lay
At anchor where the porpoise play,
And speckled trout, SO coy.
But All! The glorious summer night,
When the bright moon sheds her liquid light
Der rippling Gulf and beach sands white,
IT'S then we are impressed
With the lure of Bay st. Louis charms
We fain would linger in her arms,
And, banishing dull cares alarms,
Enjoy unending rest.
