Bank of Lexington
Makes Generous Offer

The Bank of Lexington recently agreed
to assist the county agent, D. D. Gibson,
In securing for Holmes county some real
good Jersey heifers. The bank agrees
through the county agent to loan the
money to buy these heifers. The boy or
girl who wishes to get heifer will give
his or her note, payable in 10 months
from date of buying the heifer at only
per cent interest.
This movement toward better cows, fol-
lowed by good care and feed, which the
young farmers of Holmes county will
give, will mean more to better Holmes
county farmers than any movement since
the time of buying better hogs and the
determination of "razorbacks." The
start, by young club boys and girls to-
ward dairying, with the purchase Of these
beifers, is a forward move never under
taken before in Mississippi or any South
ern state. So not only Holmes county,
but Mississippi and the South, will look
to the boys and girls Of this Jersey heifer
club as the beginners Of great agricul-
tural movement,
The boy or girl who enters this club
may rest assured that just because
heifer is registered she will not enter
Holmes county's heifer club, but to enter
she will have to show records Of her dam,
in pounds of milk and butter fat. These
heifers must be heifers that will be
worth far more money when calf is drop
ped than cost to boy or girl. So 1t is a
money-making proposition to the club
member as well as great agricultural
undertaking.
The club has started already. The
boys and girls who have appreciated this
opportunity and offer supported by the
Bank Of Lexington are as follows: Jack
brennan, Malcolm brennan, Louis Lipsey,
Mabel Bailey, Lee Peacock, Addie Lou
Hammett, Leila Mae Hammett, Floyd
Fred Heard, John Thomas Pierce, Clinton
Pierce.
After the club roll reaches twenty the
A. q M dairy specialists will aid in the
purchase of the heifers. Probably they
will not find these heifers except in Ken
lucky or some state where there are good

c. c. Swinney Makes
Good Roads Suggestion

Lexington, Miss, Nov. Is, 1919.
Citizens of Holmes County;
| would suggest that steps be taken at
once to organize "local" to be known
as the Holmes County Unit, thereby max
ing initial preparation to cooperate with
the statewide movement for not only
better roads but for sane and business
like management of construction and
maintenance of same as is provided for
in the constitution and bylaws Of said
movement recently begun in the capital
city of our state. Our county has al
ready spent vast sums of money in this
direction and in my humble opinion IL
we hope to continue this good work that
the time is ripe and it is eminently
proper to organize now in order to be
on the ground-hoor for claiming or de-
manding our just share of any good that
may come through the organization.
Respectfully,

GLASS coRREcTs ERROR

WASHINGTON. Feb. 20.-Scores of telegrams reaching the treasury today indicated existence of wide misappre- hension that the Victory Liberty loan had been abandoned or modified ma terially by decision of the house ways and means committee to authorize is- suance> of notes instead of bonds. This prompted Secretary Glass to reiterate that the campaign would be held as planned. that it would begin April 21. or possibly earlier. and that it would be popular in nature, with tho ex- pectation of selling the securities to millions of Americans of small means
 The secretary further expressed strong confidence that the loan would be not only subscribed but over sub- scribed.
 Mir. Glass said the treasury had not determined the denominations of the securities to be issued, but he inti- mated that they would be as small as $50, as in past loans. The notes would carry no coupons and would mature ir five years.

UTAH REPORTS NIX"
 0N ARIZONA "STR|P''

SALT LAKE CITY. Feb. 20.-The Bamberger and the state legislature to Arizona, to negotiate with that state for the purchase from that state of the strip bordering Utah north of the Colo rado river, today read its report to the house of representatives Owing to opposition to the ceding of the strip that developed at Phoenix, the com missioners found it inadvisable to ne- gotiate further for the sale, but the commission reported that the Arizona senate had passed a bill appropriating money for the construction of a bridge across the river and for the mainten- ance of highways for the opening of traffic to the Grand Canyon. Arizona s principal objection to the cession to Utah, voiced by the legislature, was based on a report of an investigation by the University of Arizona, that the strip would support 10000 persons through dry farming.
 After efforts to negotiate for the sale had failed, the commission called at tention of the Arizona government to the difficulties that have existed prop erly to govern this territory, which to- gether with the accessibility to traffic of the region, was the cause of Utah S desire to acquire the strip. The Ari- zonians gave assurances that this would be remedied.

The senator declared he would no longer stand asperations on his layalty and declared that his sole aim was to preserve pure democ- racy in this country.

EMPLOYERS DON'T AID
 GOVERNMENT SERVICE

DENVER, Colo, Feb. 2o.-Plans for closer cooperation of employers of labor and the federal free employment bureau were discussed today at a meet ing of representatives of the federal employment service from every state west of the Mississippi river with the exception of Idaho. A. D. Chiquoine, Jr. and Harry Reed of the department of labor at Washington attended.
 Speakers recognized the continued unemployment which was not yet seri: GUS in the west, they said, but organ ization was needed to prevent it be- coming serious. In connection with the welfare organizations, the bureau is listing soldiers and sailors who want jobs but employers have not been free to list the jobs with them, so that the two can be brought together. it was said.
 Possibility of the failure of the pres ent congress to provide appropriations for the employment bureau were dis cussed, and speakers pointed out that if the s10,000, 900 asked should not be forthcoming, private employment agencies, with exorbitant fees would replace the government bureau and a more widespread condition of unem- ployment might result.

 Mir. Taft was the guest at a lunch con given him by the San Francisco Center, a womans' organization.
 Certain small Americans on the floor of the senate profess to see dire danger and eventual disaster to the country if we ever go into the league of nations, agreed upon at the Paris peace table" said Mir. Taft
 T do not use the term small Ameri cans in an invidious sense. but to i'm ply that these gentlemen have a small view of America; the provincial, sel- 1 fish view that the highest duty of America is to presere a safe. comfort able, luxurious prosperity Tor our own people, beyond which we have no other responsibility toward the rest of the world.
 While the statesmen and people of | the entire world are unanimous in the certai : belief that unless the machin- | cry of such a league is set in motion | war more terrible and far reaching | than the one we just endured. will sweep the world in ten or twenty years ! the only discord in the concert is heard in the voice of small America from | certain small visioned men who have been elevated to the United States senate"
 The sessions of the congress to- night were marked by addresses by NIT. Taft, Senator Phelan of Californi; and others. District committees wer, | chosen.
 The Arizona committee on ratifica ton consists of Governor Thomas F. Campbell, honorary chairman; Dr Rufus E. von Kleinsmid, Tucson, stat chairman, and A. W. Frawley, Tucson secretary treasurer.
