Notice to the General Public

As the weeds in vacant lots, along sidewalks and ditches are attaining an undesirable height and crop of seeds; and as there will soon be many visitors and some prospective investors drawn here by the 'Kotton Karnival' the Dis trict Federation of Women's clubs, and the state fair, besides the general in- Aux of tourists, it would add much to the already prosperous appearance of the city and also to the health of the community if the persons oWnin, occu- pying or controlling property in the city would join the city officers in a general "clean up" campaign.
 Chapter V section of the penal ordinances makes it a misdemeanor for the owner, occupant or controller of property to permit grass or weeds to attain height of more than six inches, between the property line and the street.

SCHOOL |S HARD PUT
 FUR ROOM FUR CLASS

MESA, Oct. - The overcrowded condition of the Central and North school buildings, devoted to primary work, has made necessary the shifting of a first grade class to the Franklin grade building, heretofore occupied by pupils of fourth grade and up through the eighth.
 There is no doubt but that another year will make necessary the erection of additional buildings for handling the lower grades, the more so since kindergarten will then be put into operation.
 The segregation of the colored pupils will also have to be provided for, call i ing for yet another structure.

w. s. HILL MAKES
A SPLENDID TALK
Spoke at the Union Service On the
League of Nations and Ably Dis
cussed This Great Question.
(From Mondays Daily

Mr.. w. S. Hill spoke at. the Union
last night at the Episcopal
church on the League of Nations. The
address was delivered at the close of
the short Episcopal service, conduct
ed by Rev. L. w. Rose.
after the armistice was signed on
H." said Mr.. Hill, 'the
of the entire world turned to
the planning of a perpetual peace,
which would prevent the occurrence of
another great war. The four Allied
nations of Europe realized unless
means was provided to prevent
struggle, that all the Allies
had fought for world have been lost.
"Woodrow Wilson submitted at the
peace conference the draft of the
League of Nations as a solution of
this problem. Many have criticised
this and much fault has been found
with the proposed League. Some of
the DIRECTORS, declared a peculiar
fondness for the Monroe Doctrine and
declared that the League would inter-
fere with this"
Here Mr.. Hill gave a brief sketch
of the origin of the Monroe Doctrine
and clearly explained that the League
as proposed by President Wilson
! would brook no interference with this
doctrine which has SO long been sac
red to the American people. He then
briefly explained the Shantung prob
lem and discussed the disposal of this
province.
"The objections found to the Lea
que of Nations smacks so strongly OF
politics that the thinking people OF
the United States are doubling the
sincerity of the objectors," Mr.. Hill
declared.
Mr.. Hill stated he did not believe
in blindly accepting the views of any
one man or set of men, but declared
he had rather trust the wisdom OF
Woodrow Wilson and the three othe,
! Allied representatives, who sat at the
peace conference, than any four mer
in the world.
Mr.. Hill strongly urged the people
to stand for the League. He said il
the U. S. Senate failed to ratify the
peace treaty they would have to take
up the matter direct with Germany
and would have to deal with her alone
as they would mo- have the aid of the
Allies. He said the feilure of the U
S. to sign this treaty would necessl
tate it's going back to Germany fol
Identification.
Mr.. Hill closed his masterful ad
dress, by declaring it was the dut!
of the churches and the peopl'
throughout the land to stand for tn
League which would be the means 0
establishing a permanent peace ant

ASHES
RAISED CHECK
Secures $50 On Check Which Wai
Written For One Dollar And
Sixty Two Cents.

Morris Weiner, a merchant in
Greenwood, was recently "flimmed"
out of $1s8,38 and the officers are
looking for a negro who worked the
"skin game. A negro who gave his
name as D. G. Ross presented Weiner
with an Illinois Cenral pay check, for
$3.50 in payment for a $40 suit of
clothes.
Weiner gave the negro so dollars in
change and gave him for remainder,
a check for $110. The negro pocket
ed the money and escaped and when
the railroad check was presented at
the bank, it was learned that it had
been raised from 1852 to 100. The
original amount which the check "a
written for, had been erased by the
means of an acid and the check re-
written to read $3.50. The negro
cashed the check given him by Weiner
for $40 at a bank in this city and
has not been seen since.
The original check was the regu-
lar voucher given by the Illinois Cen
trail Railway Co., and the person who
raised the check did it 10 s~klilfully
that it was hard to detect.

ADVISE FARMERS
TO HOLD COTTON
The American Cotton Association
Gives Out Statement in Regard to
the Present Price of Cotton.

ATLANTA, Georgia, August 26-
We earnestly urge that the cotton
farmers and the holders of cotton be
not stampeded by propaganda now
being issued by bear spectators and
parties who desire to buy cheap cot
ton, but that they stand steady and
refuse to sell their staple at present
prices" the executive committee of
the American Cotton Association says
in a statement issued at headquarters
here. The committee further says:
"The Association deplores the organ
lied effort now being made to depress
and send the price of cotton to the
bottom. In spite of the fact that cot
ton goods have greatly advanced, cot
ton prices have gone down twenty
dollars to twenty five dollars per bale.
Today the staple, measured by the
price of manufactured cotton goods,
is intrinsically worth more than thir-
ty-five cents per pound and even at
that price it is the cheapest commo-
dity being sold in the worlds market.
AS soon as the American Cotton AS
ISOLATION is fully organized with its
million members, it will Immediately
begin an organized fight in behalf of
cotton"

AUTO THIEF WAS
VISITOR IN CITY
Left Stolen Automobile Here For
Repairs-Was Caught in Men,
phis Saturday Night.

Several days ago, O. S. Miller, a
white man, brought a Jordan auto
mobile to Greenwood and left it with
the Service Motors Car Co., for re-
pair. Miller told the proprietors that
he was from Tupelo, Miss. He learn
ed that it would require several days
to repair the machine, and stated that
he would return to his home and come
for the car later.
Saturday night Miller was arrested
in Memphis on a charge of having
stolen a Ford car at Clarksdale and
is also wanted, for the theft of the
Jordan automobile.
The Jordan car which was brought
here bore a Mississippi license num-
Der, but several Tennessee numbers
were discovered in the rear Of the
car.
An officer from Memphis came to
Greenwood yesterday morning for the
Jordan automobile. According to the
Memphis officer, Miller stole another
Ford car and sold it either between
Memphis and Greenwood or in Green
wood. Officials are inclined to believe
that the stolen Ford was disposed of
here, but so far no trace of the car
has been found.
