q man who is against the law, op-
posed to the forms of legal order, and
against all organized society.
A good citizen is defined as one who
obeys the laws of the land in which
he lives. 1t is little doubtful wheth-
er some of our fellow citizens SER
iously consider their obligation to the
state and to society to keep the law.
Some would seem to think that you
only violate the law when you commit
a major crime. theft, murder, etc.
With perfect impunity, they violate
the lesser laws, as they are some
times called. Some officers, sworn to
enforce the law, will wink at a crap
game, when played by friends, buying
or selling merchandise on Sunday, or
fishing or hunting on Sunday, and such
like things. In order that there may

The war cost the United States con-
siderably more than$1 100000 an hour
for over two years.
The direct cost was about $22, ,000,-

entire cost Of running the United
States government from 1891 up to
the outbreak Of the European war
Our expenditure in this war was
suiilcient to have carried on the revo-
lutionary war continuously for more
than 1000 years at the rate Of expen-
diture which that war actually in
solved.
In addition to this huge expenditure
nearly $4,000, 100000 has been loaned
by the United States to the allies.
The army panditures have been
over $ls 100 100000, or nearly two
thirds q our total war costs.
During the first three months our
war expenditures were at the rate of
S2,000,000 per day. During thenext
year they averaged more than S22,-
100000 a day For the final ten
months Of the period, from April.
1917, to April, 1919, the daily average
was over $4,000, 600
Although the army expenditures
are less than two-thirds Of our total
war costs, they are nearly equal to
the value Of all the gold produced in
the whole world after the discovery
Of America.
The pay Of the army, during the
war cost more than the combined sal

The United States spent about one

TOWN BONDS ARE
PLACED LOCALLY
$l5,OOC Of the 5000 Issue Taken bv
Banks and Local Capitalists.

Port Gibson has adopted the excel
lent plan Of keeping its money in the
family by selling its bonds to local
people. $4,000 of the $4,000 issue
for rebuilding the power plant have
already been placed, though the board
decided to sell only $4,000 Of the is
sue at present.
The bonds were bought by the two
banks and few capitalists
The Reveille has ALWAYS believed
that the nond issues of both the coun-
ty and town could be disposed of at
home if the bonds were issued in de-
nominations sufficiently small for peo-
pie OF small means TO invest. The
fact that the county owns than a
half million of government bonds
bears out this belief.

NAY HAVE BEEN HoLp-uP.

A drummer, travelling through the
country in an automobile, claims that
he was held up by an unknown man on
the Russum road near the Pearson
place one night last week. He said
that he had gone 10 . small stream to
get water for his engine, and that
while he was engaged IN pouring it
into the radiator some one struck him
ncing blow on the head with q
heavy instrument. He claims he was
blinded BY the car lights and could not
tell whether his assailant was white
or black He claims he struck the
man with the auto crank and was af-
terward cut on the hand with a knife
That he jumped into the car and es-
capped.
But there is another tale regarding
the affair which hints at a gambling
row. but we have not located from
whence it came.

Latest Improvement in This Line, $50
H. P. Capacity. Old Boilers to Be

The town authorities have ordered
a new 15O H. P. boiler Of the latest
design, and has ordered steel frames
for hanging the old boilers. 1t was
thought that new boilers would be
unnecessary when it was planned to
erect a new plant, but the old boilers
seem to be unfit for use without the
aid of new one.
The service of the past year has
not only been unsatisfactory, but has
been expensive, and those dependent
upon the town for water have suffer-
ed many hardships 1t is sincerely
hoped that the new machinery win
soon arrive and be put in operation.

When war was declared the army
hsd on hand nearly 100000 Spring
field rifles. Their manufacture was
continued and the American Enfield
rifle designed and put into produc-
tion.
The total production Of Springfield
and Enfield rifles up to the signing
ot the armistice was more than .
100000.
The use Of machine guns on a large
scale is a development Of the Euro-
pean war. In the American army the
allowance in 1912 was four machine
guns per regiment. In 1919 thenew
army plans provide for an equipment
OF 1856 guns per regiment, or eighty
four times as many.
The entire number OLA merican ma
chine guns produced to the end Of 1918
was 227s000.
