The Summer Romance Department has no comments to make upon the above letter. It might be well to inti mate, though, that the writer is evi- dently of the proletariat and not in- clined to be liberal in his views.
 It appears to the editor of this de- pertinent that it was unfortunate that the office boy attempted to carry on the literary end of it's work yesterday morning. He has been a very success full office boy. He has attended more moving picture shows in working hours than any three office boys in the city. His entire time will be his own from now on to follow that pur- suit. His misconception of an entirely innocent episode in the career of the editor of the Summer Romance De- partment was ridiculous.
 The entire matter can be explained, but it is not considered necessary. Suffice to say, though, the Summer Romance editor has returned after a short stay in the country, made neces- sary by overwork and anxiety as to the happiness of several couples who met under the jurisdiction of this depart ment. It has been a severe strain. Shell shock is a slight affliction in comparison to the anxiety engendered by the thought that something might go wrong. Irate husbands or wives who cannot be reasoned with are not the easiest persons in the world to convince that "all's well that ends well, no matter how it started"
 This department will continue to function in spite of it's unpopularity with certain clements. It will continue spreading happiness, no matter if the former office boy sells the depart

 Sir: "Twas ever thus, etc., etc" You have oVerplayed your hand. Too much publicity will spoil good thing. This morning my wife came in from what was to have been a months vacation on the coast, having seen the various ar ticIes regarding the Summer Wid- ows and Summer Widowers.
 Alas and alack, either cut out sending the papers to the absent widows or cut out so much pub lcity.
 Wouldn't it be just as easy to carry on the department without all this rot you are writing? But, however, it will probably mean nothing to me, as it is going to be very difficult to persuade my wife to return and complete her unfin ished vacation.

 Another Hope
 And I enter another confident hope. I have spoken today chiefly of meas ures of imperative regulation and le- gal compulsion, of prosecutions and the sharp correction of selfish pro- eesses; and these, no doubt are nec- essary But there are other forces that we may count on besides those resident in the department of justice. We have just fully awakened to what has been going on and to the influ- ences, many of them very selfish and sinister, that have been producing high prices and imposing an intolerable burden on the mass of our people. To have brought it all into the open will accomplish the greater part of the re- suit we seek. I appeal with entire confidence to our producers, our middle men and our merchants to deal fairly with the people. It is their opportu- nifty to show that they comprehend, that they intend to act justly, and that they have the public interest sincerely at heart. And I have no doubt that housekeepers all over the country and everyone who buys the things he daily stands in need of will presently exercise a greater vigilance, a more thoughtful economy, a more discrim- mating care as to the market in which he buys or the merchant with whom he trades than he has hitherto exer- cised.
 Labor Will See the Light I believe, too, that the more extreme leaders of organized labor will pres entity yield to a sober second thought, and like the great mass of their as- sociates, think and act like true Ameri cans. They will see that strikes un- dertaken at this critical time are cer- tain to make matters worse. not better worse for them and for everybody else. The worst thing, the most fatal thing that can be done now is to stop ! of interrupt production or to interfEre

Splendid Way To
Reduce Your WEIGHT

There is perhaps no other thing that
so j,lainly shows the passing of our.
youth as the horrible tendency to put
on 700 much weight after we have
fea1hed the age of 25 or 50 years. How
ever young our faces may appear. the
sagging, flabby figure and forty inch
X2iSt gives us away.
The cause of this over stoutness is
that our stomachs convert the FOOD we
eat into fat because there is not enough
oxygen in the blood to produce pro-
per com bustion to destroy the excess
fatty tissue. Fat people win be pleased
to learn of d simple home method that
is wonderfully efficient in reducing
weight, quickly and easily without a
starving diet, violent massage or stren-
uous exercise. Go to any drug store ana
get a box of Fhynoia take five grains
after each meal land at bed time. This
treatment will often give quick relief
from overburdening fat. Phynola taken
at meal time assists the stomach in Civ
ing you the benefit of the food you eat;
at the same time disso1ves the fatty
tissue from any part of the body where
there is excessive fat. BY this method
many have reduced their weight q
pound a day and there is no flabbiness
left Patton-Pope Drug Co. and E.u-
gene Jacobs Drug Store can supply
you with the genuine Phynola at small

Gently delivered at McComb City to the
effect that Bilbo had written a letter
to Hon. o. F. Lawrence, of Grenada,
secretary of the board of trustees Of
the institution, in which he solicited
his support for the office in question
The statement aroused such widespread
interest here that p W. Maer. editor of

renee request for the facts in the
case. In reply to his telegram Mr..
Maer received a communication from

in the hands of Hon. Ross Collins, one
of the defeated candidates for governor
contained the following question: Are
you going to vote for me as president
of the Industrial Institute and College?
will be an applicant for this position
If Russell is not elected"
The original report was to the effect
that the governor would be an appli-
cant for the presidency of the college
in the event that Russell was elected
but soon after is became current Bilbo
issued a card denying the statement in
toto. He said he hal no ambition to
become president of the local institu-
ton, but that 1t was his intention, at
the expiration of his term as governor
to return to his former home at Pop

The letter to Mr.. Lawrence, however.
