TO SECURE JOBS FOR RE-
TURNING SOLDIERS.

Office of Bureau of Labor ;
Brandon, Miss-The attention of
the Rankin county Council of De-
Tense is called to the Importance
of cooperation with the u. S. EN-
ployment Service Bureau, in find-
ing work for our returned Sold
iers. Demobilization of the army
is upon us with rush, at the
season when out door jobs are few
among those turned out will be
many farm workers, who anxious
to get work may seek other in.
dustries, fro mwhich later it may
be hard to divert them.
The members of the Council.
especially Chairmen of Districts.
ought to stimulate farmers to pro-
vide labor now, as it can be utilizz
ed even at this season. The most
OF our young men, in this County
will doubtless return to the farm
from whence they came; the idea
OF the U. S. employment service
is to provide jobs for those who
have no homes, no job nor friends
to help them, to this end Bureau
has been established at Brandon.
with the undersigned as Manager,
and every member Of the Council
and all good citizens are request
eed to refer soldiers wanting Jobs
to this office, that provisions may
be made to place them, through
the Superintendent Mr.. Lockwood
at Jackson. Employers might find
labor through this Office, while
those desiring work, might find it
by registering here.

"Jawbone Credit.


Some persons find it hard to
understand why the soldier bows
returning from overseas give
such llnstinted praise to the sal
vation Army.
The explanation is easy. The
Salvation Army got closer to our
boys with the American Expedi-
tionary Force than any other or
ganization.
And how did they do it? Sim
ply by seeing to it that no soldier
was turned away from the Saliva
ton Army huts simply because he
didn't happen to have the money
to pay for the little luxuries he
craved.
The Salvation Army extended
the boys "Jawbone credit" to use
the vernacular of Camp and
Trench. When soldier entered
hut kept by one of the Saliva
tion Army lassies he picked up
what he wanted. If he had the
money to pay for it, well and
good; if he didn't have the money
he took the article anyway and
walked out. His assurance that
he would pay some other time
was sufficient.
This is in rather striking con
trast to the stories from overseas
Of the Y. NJ. G.. A. charging our
boys more for those articles at
home. True the Y. M. G. A. gave
away a great deal Of goods, but
the organization did not have a
credit system and credit meant
much for boys who hadn't met
their pay checks for several
months, and who were perhaps
having q good portion of their
pay allotted to dependents or for
war risk insurance.
In the Salvation Army hut was
q plain box marked sjaWbone,
with slit in the top Of it. Il was
the common understanding that
some day the soldier who had
bought articles on credit would
return and drop the money in this
box. And ii al the camps Of tht

Rankin Couny asked for 10000
For Americans and Syrians
(Help the starving in Bible
LandS)

Some time ago congress appro-
priated a large sum of money
for relief work in Belgium, France
Serbia and other allied nations
but for some reason not known to
US, not any of this money goes to
the suffering Americans, Syrians
and Greeks. In these countries
100000 are orphans, many
of them living in the woods in
caves without food and clothing.
Syria, who gave the world its
Christ, it's Bible, its religious lit
erature; and during the middle
ages were the only bearers of the
torch of civilization,-the people
of this country are starving to-
death.
These brave and staunch pilgrims
bore the enemy from the West
ern front while we were getting
ready to fight. They could have
saved themselves by taking sides
with the enemy, but they chose
Americas cause and stood by it.
We would be pitifully ungrateful
not to help them now, in the very
crises of their existence. Great
Britain is nobly doing her share,
but America suffered least in this
war, and to America-Christian
America-they are looking for
greatest aid, and they need our
money right now. Over there,
already floats the flag of the Stars
and Stripes, the symbol Of liberty
and friendship. Let us lift it
higher still and prove that we are
leaders in practice, as we'll as in
ideals. Our Woodrow Wilson
asks that we make generous
contribution for the rescue of
these small martyr nations.
AS Chairman Of American and
Syrian relief comrnitte of Rankin
county, | am making an earnest
appeal to every man woman and
child in the county, urging you to
help in this cause. Our quota
for this fund is $4,000 and | feel
sure our people will not fail to do
their full share and over. I ask
the cooperation of all pastors
and S School Superintendents
Of every denomination and teach
ers of public schools in presenting
this cause to the people of Ran
kin county. On account Of bad
roads / will not be able to visit
the places and appoint commit
tees in the county, but through
courtesy Of the editor of the
Brandon News and his sympathy
fer this work, | hope to be able to
appoint and instruct beat COM
mittees; SO be looking for names
of beat chairman, also town com
mittees in Brandon News next
week. Let all our people Of Ran
kin county cheerfully give. The
need is immediate, and very
great.
Faithfully Yours,
Mrs. Irs Shields,
Chairman American and Syrian
Relief Committe Rankin County.

Honorable Hanun Gardner,
Culfport, Mississippi.-My dear
Sir:-I have carfully considered
the acts of the legislature on the
subject of soldiers and sailors
voting in the primary elections
without the payment of the poll
tax, and, while the law is not all
together plain, l believe that the
better and more just construct
ion is to permit such soldiers to
vote in the primary elections of
next summer as have failed to pay
their poll tax since induction into
military service since February
arc in service at the time they of
fer to vote; soldiers discharged
prior to February 1st, 1919 will
be required to pay the poll tax in
order to vote in the primary.
Whether the soldier has been
mustered out before or after the
first of February can easily be
settled by the soldier or sailor
presenting to the election commits
sioners or the officers of the elect
ion his discharge papers showing
the date of his discharge
This act, of course, does not
permit the soldier or sailor to vote
in the general election, nor does
it permit him to be such a quail
fed elector as would be necessary
for him to hold an Office. I an
not sure that 1t relieves him OF
the civil liability Of paying q
tax.
Answering your further inquiry
will state that If Z soldier is dis.
charged previous to the date o1
the primaries, he can not VOTE
under our Absent Voters Law by
mailing his ballet, but must per
sonslly appear At the polls and
vote.
Yours very trulY,
