Shamins The Devil

It is said that the devil always

But there are times we fear,
when even the devil would hesi-
tate to claim certain undesirable
specimens of humanity masquer-
aiding in the guise of fair woman
hood.
Out at Fort Sheridan, Illinois,
arr a large number OF manned
Q broken heroes who fought in
tae world war and came home
but battered wrecks. Some have
no legs, OF no legs, or no arms,
md others have neither legs or
arms.
About Is of these heroic but
helpless men were ivited recent
ly to attend musicale in Chicago
which was largely attended by
the women of high society. Some
of these women protested against
the presence Of the crippled SOL
diers who had given their all for
their country, on the ground that
the iodoform with which their
wounds were dressed was dis
tasteful to their aesthetic sense
of smell. Tney even went so far
as to write letters of protest to
the lady who give the musicale
and invited the soldiers.
Did the devil smile?
He did not!
He hung his head in shame
for even he, in all of his diabOli-
cal baseness and debauchery, had
not sunk so low as that.

DEMAND SPECIAL SESSION

From three different sources come de. mands for an extra session of the legis- lature, but Governor Bilbo has so far de- ciined to intimate what he is going to do about the matter. One of these demands came from the woman suffragists. They want Mississippi to fall in line with those states that have acted favorably on the proposed constitutional amendment, but the governor is quoted as having said he would not call the law makers to Jackson just for that. He also turned down the request of the state highway commission, who wanted the state to put up the money necessary to get federal aid in road building. Since that refusal however, the authorities at Washington have sent word that the federal aid would be forthcoming, anyhow provided the governor gave assurance he would rut the matter up to the legislature and insist on the appropriation. The third demand comes from the several state elemosynary institutions, all of which are short of funds, and fear the inmates of their institutions may suffer before the legislature meets in January. The last legislature gave to these institutions with very niggardly hand-the in- creased cost of provisions not being taken into consideration. The conse- quence is that they are all on the verge of starvation, and cash cannot be bor- rowed. =

PORTO RICAN FRUIT
 GROWERS ASK SHIPS
Claim Millions of Dollars Are Lost Because Refrigerator Ships Are
 Not Furnished
By Associated Press


 San Juan, June 27.-Fruit growers of Porto Rico have asked the emergency fleet corporation to equip 100 steamers as refrigerator ships to carry fruit not only between Porto Rico and the mainland. but between the United States, South Amer ica and the European countries.
 The fruit growers have submitted to the corporation a memorandum saving that each ship should have from 1o0,00) to 200 000 cubic feet of refrigerator space. They assert that last year they lost more than $500,00o on their products because of insufficient tonnage and because none Of it was equipped with even partial re- frigeration facilities. The statement de- clares that aside from the lines engaged in the banana carrying trade. the United States has not more than a dozen partly equipped insulated refrigerator ships
 These proposed refrigerator ships. it is urged by the fruit growers. should have a speed of from F to 14 knots. It is point ed out that few freighters of such speed now are afloat. The Porto Ricans argue that shipping from the United States to South America must pass through the tropics and that in doing so perishable products carried in the holds of ordinary ships are delivered invariably in a part ly damaged condition. They say also that the refrigerator ships ave needed to carry apples from North Atlantic ports such as New York, Philadelphia and Boston to England and Scotland, and that for lack of such ships apples now suffer loss in transit.
 They estimate that the crops of oranges, grapefruits and pineapples for the com ing season probably will double that Of last year. and foresee heavy loss unless adeouate ships of an insulated type are pnoyided to carry these crops.

Since that time the purchasers have applied to the city for new franchise, much more generous franchise than was the old one Street car fare is made cents and the prices on gas and elec- tricity for both private and public use was increased about 25 per cent. The city refused to grant this heavy in crease, and there has been a squabblo ever since. Several conferences have been held, but no agreement has been reached.

All space has been spoken for thus far in advance, and it is prob- able that more room will have to be provided. The exhibit of poultry and live stock of all kinds will be great, and the manufacturers of farm machinery are crying for more room than they can get. There was no fair last year. be cause of the epidemic of influenza, and thus two years are going to be crowded into one, with an attendance, it is pre- dicted, never before known Nearly half the counties of the state are co-operat- ing this year for the first time, and will make county exhibits-just as they were ready to do last year when the show was called off by the health au- tborities.

VIOLATE ANTITRUST LAW

The Hinds county grand jury returned indictments few days ago against the three ice manufacturing plants and against the druggists of Jackson, charg- ing them with violations of the anti trust laws. Their trials are set for next Monday, and naturally there is a great deal of interest manifested in the cases, the defendants being among the most prominent business men of the town. The grand jury has also been reconvened by Judge Potter, and it is understood that there is to be prying into the business methods of other lines of trade. The court wants to know something about the high cost of living in Jackson, and why living is so much higher in Jackson than elsewhere. The watermelon season is on. and Jackson folks are forced to pay $1.50 for melon that is fit to carry home. while for 50 cents one gets mel or that would not have sold for 15 cents a year or two ago. Cut Jackson out of her watermelons and life is not worth living.
