LADIES OF CIVIC LEAGUE
GO ON RECORD.
Drxcss IL Feet Hog Pen. Really
Favor Louisiana Law.

Being convinced that hogs are q
grave menace to the health of our
community and blot upon the fair
escutcheon of our City Beautiful;
and having the welfare Of our cltI-
2ens and the reputation of our town
al heart, we feel it duty to hereby
declare ourselves as absolutely oppOs-
cd the Effect hog pen proposition
to be voted on in Grenada. Saturday,
Apr9l 5.
The so feet square hog pen as pro
vided for by the City Council Is bad
enough. Really we are opposed TO
hogs being penned within our city at
all and would be glad to see the
Louisiana law enacted within our
State. That state will not allow hogs
in municipalities at all.
ln order to preserve our health and
to perpetuate our good name we ear
nestly plead with the men OF Grena-
da OF 10 vote l2-feet hog pen on
the women and children OF Grenada.
Further, we desire that a copy OF
these resolutions shall be furnished
to or Mayor and Aldermen and that
the Editor OF The Sentinel shall be
furnished with q copy and a requeS7
for their publication.

Before Taking and After Taking"

Before Taking and After Taking"
Under the caption The Issue
(meaning ii certain publication that
calls itself a newspaper and that finds
its way to the post office at jackson.
Miss Goes on Jambore', The
New Era, under date of March 26.
a new newspaper published at TupelO
and edited by Hon. John f. Rankin,
takes The Issue to task in the follow
ing style. 1t will be well to remem-
Der that Mr.. Rankin acknowledges
that he voted with the said Issue in
the last state campaign. His atti-
tude now and then calls to mind ''be-
fore taking and after taking" The
only thing that is calculated to make
one doubt Mr.. Rankin's judgment
just now, is, that he seems to think
that Ex-senator Vardaman might
take hold of the Issue, change its
name end make it go. This is funny
lHueeu because vast, very vast
majority of the people of Mississippi
believe that the Issue has always
thought and tried to voice the down
and ont Senator's views. Sentinel
readers will undoubtedly enjoy the
kettle of fish which the New Era is
frying:
The ISSUE, which was at one time
one of the most popular weekly pa
pers in Mississippi, and which has
been constantly on the decline ever
since Senator Vardaman severed his
connection with it, seems to have
touched the segment of yellow jour
nalism, especially in it's issue of
March the 18th.
Like the nervous yard dog
nightly bays the scarecrow in the wa
termelon patch, it has been exhaus-
ting itself for the last several months
barking at Earl Brewer; using as a
kind of straw man for political bayo-
net practice.
In its perilous descent from the is
SUE of Vardaman to the ISSUE of.
God knows whom,-it seems to
have lost its editor, along with its
and other admirable at
tributes; and onw the only elassifca-
lion we can fittingly give it is that of

LONDON HAS HER BEER,
BRAZIL HAS HER COFFEE

Rio de Janeiro. Brazil, Oct. g.
Should prohibition ever become eff
fective in Brazil it is probable that
few Brazilians would be greatly af-
fected by it. The Brazilian appar-
emily does not care for string drink.
Coffee is the national beverage and
the coffee shops are among the in
teresting sights of the city. They
are to be found everywhere, but are
especially numerous in the down
town section and along the principal
avenues.
The shops are on the street floro,
are wide open and contain numerous
small tables. Excellent coffee. gen.
orally black and strong, is served in
tiny cups at the uniform price equiv
alent to about 2 y cents cup.

Portland, Oct, e.-Organized Ia

This projected step into the polit-

.K0LCHAK IS MAN
TO SAVE RUSSIA
English Commander Says Admiral
Stands Up for Poor Glass While
Lenine Favors Bourgeois

London, Oct. 6.--Colonel John
Ward who has just returned from
Siberia where he commanded a bat
talon OF British troops which helped
to overthrow the bolshevik power
there, says, I'm my opinion the only
chance for democracy in Russia lies
in the success OF Koichak. His atti-
tude on the land question shows that
he is not the reactionary he has
been represented. He sees clearly
that the distribution OF big estates
among the peasantry cannot be inter-
fered with.
1T Is proposed that those land
owners who have survived bolshe-
vism shall be given compensation for
the land they have lost but there is
no idea, OF restoring the land to
them. Kolchak stands up for the
poor peasants against what Lenine
has been called the village Of bour-
geoisie.'
1T is found that well-to-do peas
ants had murdered many of the land
owners, given meagre portion of
the poorest land to the poor peasants
and Joined the bulk OF the estate to
their own holdings. KoIchak, with
the advice Of representatives OF the
allies, decided to secure for the poor
peasants fair distribution of the
land. When this was known the COM
paratively wealthy peasants, who had
secured the biggest share of the
land raised the cry that the old state
of affairs was to be restored In
some cases they stirred up the peas
ants to revolt and caused disturb
ances which had to be put down by
force.
ITO know what bolshevism is you
should have been With me at Perm
when the ice on the river was melt
ing and the bodies of many who had
been murdered by the bolshevkii
were revealed. /, myself, saw so of
them and among them were the
bodies of a number of women and
children. AT one place there was
a wash house built over the river.
The bolsheviki cut hole in the floor
through which they dropped their
victims into the deep waters be-
meath. Bolshevism means the end
of democracy. am certain that if
Russia is left to the bolsheviki, it
will ultimately return to autocracy.

Calm Evening Helps

A fire starting from an oil stove
In the house occupied by Mrs w. q.
Ross. Sunday evening about Z
o'clock, burned three residences and
a large barn before the flames
could be checked Those who lost
their homes were, Mrs. W. q. Ross

Andrew Shade and Chas. Wade. The
A. H. Mock garage and woodshed
were destroyed and Baber Bros, g
large barn, containing approximate
iy $1,000 worth OF hay and some
other material. went up In smoke.
Contrary TO reports. no livestock
perished.
Mr.. Shade was one OF the first to
the fire. Mrs. Ross ran to his home
and shouted that her h0uss was
afIre. The flames spread so quick
ly that little could be done. Mr..
Shade. besides losing his home. lost
500 worth OF wood, some OF his
household furniture and a two
years supply OF canned fruit Mrs.
Ross lost her furniture. but most ar
ticles from the Wade home were
saved.
Baber Bros. we're perhaps the
heaviest losers. and Mr.. Shade was
the only one who carried insurance.
Owing TO the confusion the fire
alarm was not turned in from any
OF the places destroyed. but from
the w. Lamphere home on West G
street. The heat from the large
barn which was stored with hay
made the work difficult for the fire
men. but they were favored by a
perfectly calm evening. One incident
that greatly interferred with their
work was the slipping OF one OF the
drive chains on the fire truck Just
before they reached the scene OF the
fire. Being unable to get any closer
they were compelld TO use the ordi-
nary canvas hose. instead OF the
pressure hose. This made differ
ence OF about so pounds in the pres
sure used.
Two other lines OF hose we're laid
from the hydrant at the corner OF
Pine and streets making three lines
OF hose playing on the fire, but from
these latter only the ordinary pres
sure from the city reservoir could be
had. and II was only with much diff
iculty that other buildings close by
were saved.
This morning only charred embers
marked the place where the three
homes and large barn stood
