YALOBUSHA COUNTY
OVER THE TOP
Water Valley and Oakland
Districts Go Over--Coffee-
vile Only District to Fall
Short of Its Quota.

Again good old Yalobusha County
has shown to the world that her citi-
zens are 100 per cent American ami
patriotic. Not one time In any Of
the many calls made has Yalobusha
County fell short-she has done
nobly and we'll and her proud citi-
zens can look the world in the face
and not have to apologize for any
shortcomings in war work of any
kind. Yalobusha County not only
gave freely and fully of her treasure,
but she gave just as freely of her
noble sons to do battle for her coun-
try. Yalobusha has the honor and
distinction to form and organize
Battery A, the first full and complete
battery to be organized by volunteer
enlistment in the state.
How proud we all are OF those
noble soldier boys who so patriotic
ally volunteered and enlisted to fight
for their country! God bless every
one of them, and every one of the
hundreds more who later answered
their country's call and nobly and
bravely stepped into the ranks Of
Uncle Sans fighting men in all
branches of he service. Yes, Yal3-
busha County justly feels proud Of
her brave soldier boys and we owe
them honor and praise for their
deeds.
At the same time we should feel
as proud of the good citizens left at
home in Yalobusha County. They
are also entitled to honor and praise
for the valiant and patriotic work
they carried on here at home while
our sons were at the front.
In every call made the good citi-
zens cheerfully came forward and
did their full part--a record every
man, women and child has just cause
for feeling proud over. Not only III
the First Liberty Loan call but in
everyone of the five Loans did Yalo-
busha County go over the top.
Following is the final report of the
County Sales Director on the Victory
Liberty Loan, viz:
GOVERNMENT ALLOTMENT

is not given sufficiently easy terms
on rhe second mortgage SO that he
will have a fighting mans chance to
pay off these debts, the federal land
hank will not encourage the trans.

"But they are always ready to 60
operate with land owners and ten
ants on any basis which would give
the tenant-farmer a chance to be-
come the owner of farm.
Landlords all over the country,
who are renting their farms are be-
ginning to study the second mort
gage, subject to a federal farm loan
mortgage, as possible means of en-
abling them to dispose of their land
to the mutual advantage of them
selves and their tenants"
This federal farm loan system, es-
tablished by a Democratic admins
tration and operated thus far to the
benefit of many thousands of farm
ers, is now threatened by a Repub-
lican proposal to tax its bonds, which
would defeat the purpose for which
it was instituted-that is, to lend
money to farmers at low rate of
interest and save them from the
clutches of money lenders.
(Hon. w. A. Nolen, present repre-
sentative in the State legislature from
the Second District Of Yalobusha
County, introduced a bill in the Mis-
sissippi Legislature to raise the rate
of interest from 8 per cent per an
mum, the highest contract rate, to 10
per cent per annum. Evidently Mr..
Nolen did not have the farmers in
terest at heart when he introduced
his bill.--LOUIS C. BARBER).

Thus it win be seen by the Sales
Directors report that Yalobusha
County went over the top, and still
holds her place in the honor column.

Please sound word of warning for
the benefits Of the people who are de-
pendent upon the products Of the soil
for their. existence. Consumers are
depending upon what farmers raise to
keep body and soul together, and 1t is
high time We heard less about this high
cost OF living, blaming Il to the farmer.
There Is no law, neither can there be
one In free country, that will compel
farmers to produce more than they Wish
to. Farmers can bring salvati0n to the
whole country II they so elect. LegIsla-
lures and congress should see to 1t that

ANTi-SUFFS FALL SHORT.

The anti-suffragists Of Massachu-
sets have fallen 1000 short Of the
$4,000 signatures required to put the
question of poular ratification by Mas.
sachusetts of the suffrage amendment
to the federal constitution on the
ballot In Massachusetts, next fall. The
time for the fling Of petitions expired
several days ago. The opponents OF
ratification were delayed somewhat
by ruling by Atty-Gen. Atwill that
the secretary of state was~not obliged
to supply blanks for petition sigma
lures. He held that the acton OF
ratification by the Legislature was not
the adoption of law, but merely OF
resolve and that the language OF
the initiative and referendum amend
ment to the state constitution did not
apply to a resolve. The petitioners then
went to the supreme court for an ap-
plication for a writ Of mandamus to
compel the secretary to issue the
papers. Because of the short time
between then and the date for the
election, a friendly agreement was
reached, providing that the papers
should be issued, but without pre]-
udice regarding later decision OF the
court. Even If the court should later
decide in favor of the petitioners,
their case seems hoepless, inasmuch
as they have failed to obtain the
requisite number Of signatures Tor
their petition that the matter OF rati'
fication be referred to the voters.

ton
Democracy is a form OF social or
ganization. AS such IL may be sub
jected TO several fundamental tests.
Is il in harmony with the basic laws
Of organic life2 That is the psyche
logical test And so in turn demOc-
racy might be measured by economic
and political standards. But there
is yet another and more fundamental
standard by which democracy and ev-
cry other form Of social OrGanization
must be measured; and failure at this
point is a fatal weakness. This final
test Is the ethical test
with no apology II is here accept
ed as a fact that Christianity Is a
dominant force in the national life
and ideals OF America In submit
ting democracy 10 the final test. II is
therefore reasonable to measure the
democratic ideal by the ethics OF
Jesus Christ. What are these ethical
PRINCIPLES Of Jesus2 There are two
that are the basis OF Christian ethics.
The first is: Whatsoever ye would
that man should do TO you, do even
We so to them The Implication Of
this principle IS obvious. Immediate
self interest and a rudimentary sense
Of Justice prompt universal assent 20
its validity. This principle was not
original with Jesus. He. Himself, de-
clared il to be the law and prophets
Confucius had stated this same prin-
ciple in a negative form 500 years be-
fore Christ In the ethics Of Jesus
this. law was the foundation on which
He built.
The second principle enunciated
by Jesus was Thou shalt love thy
nefghbor as thyselft' Here again no
claim OF originality can be made for
Jesus The lawyer who came to test
him knew this to be the law OF Noses.
The importance Of this principle lies
in the new Interpretation which Jesus
put upon It. He put the burden Of
neighborliness upon the individual,
and made service the test OF the full
fiIlment OF this obligation
at this point il is advisable to de-
fine democracy. Democracy IS more
than a political organization. Il is a
form Of group life characterized by
individual freedom and fnterdepend-
