Miss Sidney Shields, Broadway Star
and War Worker, Visits Fam
ily in Mississippi.

Miss Sidney Shields. New Orleans
girl who has been starred on Broad
way for the past four years, before
going to France as a war worker
with the Y. M. G. A., arrived Sat-
urday at her family's summer home
at Bay St. Louis, Miss. Her father,
Bernard Shields, Of the Board of liz
quidation, received a telegram from
her in New York Friday, announcing
her intention Of going to Bay st.
Louis. and asking him to meet her
there. He left Saturday.
Miss Shields gave up the leading
part in the New York Production OF
"Parlor, Bedroom and Bath" to go
to France as member of the "over
There Dramatic League" which tour
ed camps with a repertoire of twelve
plays, presented by leading Broad
way artists. She did outside work
in personal entertaining in hospitals

THE MIXER.

Hes a good mixer"
We heard fellow in local drug
store make this remark the other
evening, and as we walked home we
pondered on that sage expression.
Hes a good mixer. .
Do you know, readers of the Lead
er, that a man who can mix is q
great asset to any town; he's Of val
ue to himself and to the folks among
whom he dwelis. Have you noticed
that you may know some men for
years, and yet you never know them.
Other men you meet and in few
minutes you are at home with them :
you are drawn toward them and you
seek them out next time you have
the opportunity.
In business the man who can mix
has distinct advantage over his
non-mixing fellow. 1t does not ne
cessarily follow that the mixer Is a
gusher-not by any means.
Who likes to trade In the store OF q
taciturn man7 How much more we
enjoy that store whose proprietor
gives us the glad hand and the ready
smile. Some traders hand out
packages in exchange for your mon
ey as though they hated to do It,
while others show they appreciate
your ciientage. The mixer does not
necessarily "slobber over" you; he
doesn't always assure you "its q
warm day or inquire If its hot e.
nough for you. but he does say
thanks and ask you to come again.
The mixer wins every time.

THE WORD "0BEY" TO BE CUT
FROM MARRIAGE vows.

The British press is inspired to an
editorial whittier are we Drifting
caused by the Yankee suggestion to
take the word "obey" out of the mar
riage service.
The London Globe says
with considerable misgivings we
have watched the tinkering with the
book Of common prayer" said the
Globe, "but our divines have had
sense enough to leave the marriage
service alone. Their American col
leagues, more daring or more prudish
would eliminate the word obey ap-
parently oblivious Of the brutal fact
that If two persons ride the same
horse, one must sit behind.
''It strikes us as pathetic to at
tempt to fly in the face of nature
Every woman worth her salt tries to
get her own way, but hopes at the
back of her mind that she will not
be allowed to have 1t. There is moth
ing for which woman has greater
contempt than a husband who can
not govern her.
The fact may be regrettable,
shocking and dreadfully upsetting
to all the fine notions Of sex equality,
but it is no less fact that the
household ruled by woman Is as
unsatisfactory and detestable an In
stitution as that in which a man
NEEDLES in the cooking.
Obedience, which our greatest
queens have been proud to VOW,
should not be humiliating to Aemri-
can brides"
After some more of this, the Globe
turns its fre directly on America,
with the caustic suggestion that more
deliberation in marriages would
cause less regret than the word
obey" ever will.

High Price for Cotton.

Greenwood, Miss, Aug. 23.-The
two first bales of this years cotton
to be brought to this city, one of
which was produced in Lefore and
the other in Sunflower county, were
sold here this morning at public auc-
tion to the highest bidder. The bid
ding was spirited and the cotton was
auctioned by A. Silver. The bale,
which was produced by ]. H. Weir
& Son on their Greenwich plantation.
Leflore county, weighed 545 pounds
and brought 81 cents per pound. The
bale grown in Sunfiower county by
w. e. Armstrong brought As cents
per pound and weighed 500 pounds.
The scarcity of business houses,
dwellings and rooms in the city of
Greenwood has grown most acute.
There is not vacant business build
ing or house to be had at any price.
Rooms are at a premium and are i'm
possible to obtain. AS result of the
increasing demand for these accom-
modations rent has greatly advanced
within the last few months.

PORTO RIco's PLEA

America Is seeking better under
standing with the peoples of Central
and South America and is trying to
develop greater trade relations. To
accomplish this end, according to
Senator Antonio r. Barcelo, presi-
dent of the Porto Riean Senate and
leader of the majority political party.
the United States should make a liv-
ing example of Porto Rico, so that
the Central and Southern Americans
will see that the United States prae-
tices what it breaches. The people
of Porto Rico, that is, the majority,
according to Senator Barcelo, who is
in Washington to inaugurate cam
paign for home rule in the island,
desire the authority from Congress
to conduct their own local govern
ment. They object to having appoint
ed from the mainland governors and
other officials who are not in ac-
cord with the people and who are
raised to Office frequently to pay po-
litical debts contracted in the MAIN
land elections.

MISSISSIPPI MEMORIAL
ASSOCIATION
rhe People q Misslsslppi:

To The People Of Mississippi:-
On the ilrst anniversary of the en-
trance Of the United States into the
World War. the Mississippi Memorial
Association was organized. The pur-
pose Of this Association was, by reso-
mtion, declared to be. ITO erect a
Memorial Hall and War Museum to
the memory Of our soldiers and sail
ors who served in the World War,
and to preserve true record Of their
service and suffering that may be
handed down to generations yet to
come. At the meeting an executive
committee was appointed to carry out
the purposes Of the Association. Hon.
T. Brady is the representative for
this vicinity.
Mississippi was the first state to
project such action. And 1t is pro-
per that she should lead in such a
cause. Her sons were no laggards
in responding to their country's call
for service.
The Association by resolution also
pledged tits untiring efforts to Sc
cure the sum of $500, 100000 for the
purpose of providing a Memorial Hall
and War Museum" and the amount
is none too large for this state to de-
vote to perpetuating the fame Of her
"boys who went"
We now make this earnest appeal
to you to come to the support of
this cause. They for whom we
plead do not ask your charity, nor
will they even bespeak your COM
mendation. But their deeds, their
privations, their sufferings, their
mute but eloquent wounds, their sac
rifices, aye, their graves
I'm Flanders fields where poppies
blow
Between the crosses row on row."
all make an appeal to your patriot
ism, your manhood. your pride, your
very self-respect.
Do not answer with the question
What is the use?" Don't tell US
that this large sum of money could
do great good in relieving poverty or
curing the sick. Eye have the poor
(and the afflicted) with you always,
and whensoever ye will ye may do
them good" This is our ONE oppor-
tunity to honor those who offered
their all, even their lives-some paid
all, even their lives for us. The box
of costly spikenard broken and spilled
by the unsparing hand of the loving
Mary in honor of her Lord, not only
perfumed the home in Bethany, but
the whole world for centuries.
Let us erect this memorial. 1t shall
be shrine of patriotism. Our child
ren's children will gather here to
read the names of "those who went, %
and the records OF the imperishable
achievements Of those who fought
''cver there; and, with barred head
as if in holy presence, each will say,
Thank God, Ii too, am Missis-
sippian."

Hattiesburg, Miss, Aug. 23.-J.
T. Tillman, negro, processing to be
prophet, soothsayer and to have
great power with God. languishes in
the city pail on suspicion Of being a
lunatic. Tillman claimed among
the negroes he could raise people
from sick beds, could hold his hands
toward heaven and tell God to roll
back the dark clouds and let the sun
shine in, and further, telling the ne
groes that Jesus Christ was negro,
he became what the authorities
thought a dangerous character and
he Is being held for observation.
He was asked why he did not pray
himself out Of jail and replied it
didn't do any good to pray in hell.

schoolboy: This picture was paint
ed by Malay. It contains man and
woman. a pitchfork, wheelbarrow
and a church steeple. The man and
the woman are very poor, and they
have been digging potatoes because
they need them to live on. The po-
tatoes look quite small Just at sun
set they hear bell ring. 1t is the
Angelus. 1t means they must pray.
So they bow their heads and pray for

BR00KHAvEN SHOULD HAVE
SEWERAGE.

It has come to some who have
profited by life's experiences that 1t
Is incumbent ON every human being
to do all within his power to work
OUT his own life as IL affects not
society in general. The results to be
attained by this or that course
should control action in every case.
The results vouschafed society in
vice and crime and poverty prohibit
ted the open saloon. 1t is the same
with moderation, revenge, hate,
malice. etc. Whatever results indi-
viduals suffer, the community or
society suffers and this point brings
US to the question of sewerage for
Brookhaven.
Here, by correct attitude, we
should seek protection for ourselves
and the community at large and the
general welfare of all.
Just as the whole body suffers
when one, member suffers, so the
whole community must bear the re-
proach of single death from ty-
phoid fever or any malignant, con-
tagious disease that springs like a
NIpOk lAOhA AAAtA uAN uA6OAAtaLy OOA-
ditions. Our city should consider ii
disgrace to have a case of typhoid
fever.
We ought to so entrench ourselves
from the insidious foe of disease as
to be able indeed to say when death
invades in spite of it 1T is not our
fault-we are blameless having done
all to obviate it,"
If we do not exercise every pre-
ventative measure possible we should
be blamed to that extent. Our
skirts are not clear as long as we, in
the face of bursting sinks, closed
vaults, and green-scummed odorous
bitches and drains, tolerate these
things at the grave risks well known
to our people.
will advance the value of your pro-
perty. at least one third? Do you
know that smaller Mississippi towns
have sewerage? Do you know the
City Board is going to make it easy
for you to pay for connections with
the main sewer? DO you know that
sewerage will attract enterprise and
residents? Do you know you will
be prouder Of Brookhaven with sew
erage than without? Do you know
that it will help to prevent epidem-
| les?
Do you know that a beginning will
mean completion of sewerage for
the entire city?
Do you know when you screened
your house you were shutting out
flies that went to your neighbors;
! and that neighbor began to screen
his house and the good work went
on?
1t takes more of mind than money
to accomplish things.
Taxes will not seem high in the
face of the death of your child, your
father, mother, wife or husband that
may die under present conditions and
because of them.
The one that passes may be OF
YOUR family circle. Money Is moth
ing compared to such a loss.
THEN you will wish you had "a
vored sewerage.
Vote for the measure next Monday
and remove from Brookhaven the
one blot upon her name.
Crime and vice creep in; but not
by the will of the people, 1t is by
the will of the people we can make
| sewerage part of the organized
machinery of our beautiful and pro-
gressive little city. Let's do 1t.
Vote for SEWERAGE!

THINK OVER THESE THINGS
SINCE THE ELECTION Is
OVER.

How often do we hear the boast,
II have not an enemy in the world. y
Yet, how significant of fence
straddling life, how revealing of side
tracked issues, of occasions when
right faced wrong and called in vain
for assistance. An unnamed poet
says:-
You have no enemies, you say;
My friend, your boast is poor,
He who has mingled in the fray
OF duty that the brave endure,
Must needs make foes.
If you have none, mayhap,
Small is the work that you have
done.
You've put no CRATER down and
out,
Or put no traitoring wretch to
rout,
You've never turned wrong into
right,
You've been a coward in the Aght.
Some men are loved for the. enc
mics they madei Some causes have
been victorious because of their
opposition! Glory in an enemy hon.
orably made and maintained for sake
Of the faith or principle involved.
Hate not on your own part, but heed
not angry criticisms and false re-
ports which envious and contentious
opponents heap upon you. Remem-
Der the Pharisees, who considered
themselves holier than all others.
