NORTH SIDE SQUAE
|. N. Little & Company to Open General
Hardware aRdFWnituTe Store in Cobb
Building. Open Next Week.

The 7. M. Little general store is
Dresden's latest addition TO the mer-
camille world, Mr.. Little having clos
ed and nailed up his spoke factory,
which he so successfully conducted
for 25 years, and will open gen.
eral store in the Cobb (Moran) build
ing on the north side of the square.
Mr.. Little informs an Enterprise
reporter that he expects to be open
for business by the middle of next
week. His stock is on the way and
coming in, and will consist of gro-
ceries, hardware and furniture. The
big store-room will be chock-full, and
Mr.. Will Cation will assist Mr.. Lit
tie in waiting on the trade.
Years ago Mr.. Little was engaged
in the dry goods business here, asso-
ciated with the late G. W. Cottrell
He was counted one of the best sales
men in the county, and this, coupled
with his extensive popularity, will
command for him a large trade.
For years Mr.. Little has had han
kering to return to mercantile life,
and next week will find him back
in the harness. Mr.. Little is univer-
sally popular with all classes. He
is a level-headed, conservative bust
ness man, and the Enterprise bids
him welcome into his new old field.

The state farm extension agents
of Arkansas and Mississippi, G. W..
Watson, of Arkansas, and r. S. Will
son, of Mississippi, in discussing their
program for farm development dur
ing the current year, agreed that
the acreage of cotton must be reduc-
ed, but declared that this was not a
problem that any one state should
attempt to solve alone, but that it
was a problem for all the cotton
states:
MIR. Watson said that he was not
going to ask the Arkansas farmers
to reduce cotton production unless
Tennessee and Mississippi and Texas
and other cotton states were willing
to curtail cotton production. The
farmers of Arkansas were promising
he said, that they would place the
matter of growing sufficient food
crops ahead of the growing of cot
ton, but that he knew very we'll they
did not mean itand that they would
all go right ahead and produce an
acreage of cotton that would be sur
prising.
Mr.. Wilson said that the cotton
situation was one that could not be
answered easily, that he feels that it
will be perfectly safe to go ahead
and urge the growing of food crops
to the limit in Mississippi, for after
all, the Mississippian is so constituted
that he is certain to raise enough
cotton.

ARE TO
RAISE $35.OOO,OOO
South and West Materially Benefited BY
Great Methodist Drive. Campaign
Starts April q.

Plans are now completed for the
eight-day drive for $35, 100000 which
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, will put on April 27, to May
A. The campaign is in charge Of
Lyman Pearce, who was one Of the
government campaign managers and
all departments affiliated with the
campaign are busily at work at head
quarters in Nashville. The immen-
sity of the sum to be raised means
that the task itself is an immense
one and offices are humming with
all the stir and buzz that goes with
big business.
While the movement is denomi-
national, it is for the benefit of the
world, a large portion of the fund
being raised being turned right over
again to build up the communities
from which it came in the Southern
and Western states. Among the va
rious forms of reconstruction work
here at home that will be undertaken
as result Of the raising Of the
$35,OO0,0O will be the following
Five schools of the colored Meth
odist Episcopal church will be mate
rally assisted with $4,000 each,
while Payne College will be helped
with $3.50, 900 for endowment, build
ings and equipment. Aside from this
practical work in educating the col
ored people in their midst, the de-
nomination will erect a school to
train religious teachers, leaders and
preachers for, the Indians of all tribes
now located in the United States.
This school will cost $150,000 and
it's establishment will mark the be-
ginning of a great forward move
ment among the Indian population.
A particular effort will be made
by the department of Home Missions
Of the church to help the mountain
population. Ten schools now under
Conference ownership will be fl
nancially assisted with $4,000 each,
while the same sum will be spent
annually in carrying on the religious
and social work needed to make the
immediate needs of these people.
The foreingers now in the South
and West will be the beneficiaries of
the campaign to the extent of 40
night schools, thirty churches and
additional missions. Three schools
for Mexicans will need 100000 each
and the Textile Industrial Institute
at Spartanburg, S. c., for cotton mill
operatives, will receive $150,000 and
the circuit riders of the church will,
together with hundreds of Methodist
pastors, have their small salaries
raised to meet the higher scale of
living of the present day.
The Woman's Work Home De-
partment has outlined its efficiency
program for the next five years lin
addition to its present income) as
follows:
Mountain work, $158,6OO; city
work, $4,000; Latin Americans,
$151, 900; gulf coast work, $82,5OO;
Orientals on Pacific Coast, $4,000;
negroes, $4,000; dependent girls,
100000.

CHRISTIAN LIFE

Mrs. J. L. Winsett, Mckenzie, Tenn.
My Dear Mrs. Winsett:- Having
met your son, George, and spent a
most enjoyable day with him, thought
you might be pleased to hear word
of him from one who had been with
him as recently as yesterday, | am
assistant chaplain of the oath Engi-
neers, and had gone to this town to
conduct services for a small detach-
ment of my men. It is very quaint,
picturesque old town, located good
way in the rear of the line. George
helped me carry the little organ into
the barracks, French one, the most
suitable place for a service to reach
all the American troops who were
CHARTERED in the town. The band
was there and gave all the assistance
possible.
You will be happy to know that
your boy is living true, clean, chris
tian life over here, even amid the
manifold temptations which are on
every hand. 1t is a great pleasure to
talk with him, as he was interested
in many things in which I was inter-
ested. He told me of you and of
how you loved flowers. We had a
good, "homey" talk and it did me
worlds of good, for I was just wee
bit lonesome for just that very thing.
We are looking forward to the
morrow and the signing of the armis-
tice, when this terrible conflict will
be over. George was ready to move
to another location, but still away
in the rear, so you must not be
alarmed in the least. He is perfectly
we'll and happy.
1t was a great privilege to have
known your son, Mrs. Winsett, and
I am pleased to call, him friend,
With sincere best wishes to you
and yours, am,
Sincerely,
GEO. N. NELL.

Farm Labor In Demand.

: + !
Demobilization Of soldiers thus far
has, not relieved the shortage Of farm
labor in Minnesota, according to re-
ports to agencies in touch with farm
ing; conditions, throughout the state
1.-THE demand is far in excess Of the
supply" said Hugo V. Koch, state:
director Of. the! federal employment
service. 1--WE have been recruiting
men for farm work as rapidly as we
could, but we have been unable, to
meet the demand, and the shortage is
keeping up.
During April the placements num-
bered 700, and there were many calls
we could not fill"
A. D. Wilson, director Of the ex-
tension division, university farm
school, said reports indicated some i'm
provement. Supervisors travelling
from county to county reported that
some counties had enough labor, while
in others there was some shortage.
Though there is a general shortage,
conditions are much improved over
those Of last year. ~.

Japan's- War. Winnings.

Japan seems to have won out. Those
clever and wise Samurai statesmen
have made the war pay them with
compound interest and if present plans
are carried out the little empire of
Nippon becomes the mistress Of the
east. They did not secure the racial
recognition for which they asked, but
did they want it and expect it? Proba-
bly, not. They have admitted that
immigration is a matter of domestic
policy, but they masked their hands
and secured the enunciation of a Mon
roe doctrine of the Pacific which was
their real object. They get the con-
troll of the Shantung peninsula for a
term of years, which will probably
operate as did their recognition Of the
independence Of Korea, which they
| openly annexed after the defeat Of
both Russia and China. The situation
in the orient may be left to the league
of nations, but how long will Japar
stay in if the developments are not tt
her liking. Paul Dispatch.
