THE SUGAR SITUATION.

The community shortage Of sugar
the past week was somewhat relieved
by the receipt of two car loads of
sugar by T. J. Locke, wholesale gro
Ger, and further relief is promised
this week when four more cars are
promised j. l.. Walker and Company.
While the acute situation as to sup
ply has been relieved for the present
it is more than probable that we will
have to run on short schedule until
January when large per cont of the
Cuba and Louisiana crop will come
on the market.
While the supply has been improv-
ed it is at an advance price. People
do not understand why sugar is
selling in one section at one price and
in another at another price, unless
rank profteering is being INDUCED
in. Then they do not understand
why one state in the South gets a
supply of beet sugar and other states
do not. Over in Alabama the people
got supply of beet sugar which was
sold, so our information goes around
ton and twelve cents, while sugar
here, just across the line, is retailing
at from % to 25 cents per pound, ac
cording to the grade
Senator Harrison recently stated
that he was going to look into this
situation and it occurs to lis con-
stituents that some one up at Wash
ington had better take care of the
Mississippi people on the sugar situa-
ton. There are two senators up
there and eight or nine congressman
and they are supposed to be on guard
all the time in protecting their con
stituents' interests.
Senator Harrison can perform
real service to his people by seeing
that they are cared for by the Food
Administration n the sugar matter,
in seeing that we get our share of
sugar and in seeing that it is sold to
us at the right price.

The Need Of Library in the Schools.
Now don't you think it is a shame
that we boys and girls have to tell
the people of Columbus that we Geed a
school library? Everybody Knows
we haven't one, then everybody ought
to know we need one.
Why, we haven't any reference
books and dictionaries up here ct the
Franklin Academy, let alone good
books to read.
| believe if we boys had a library
where we could get interesting books
to read in our spare time, it would
save the teachers a lot Of trouble
whipping or keeping us in for get
ting into mischief, and it would leave
them more time to teach us nice
things.
If schools are for the purpose of
educating children then the crown
folks ought to give those schools
everything they need to do it with
and we certainly need a library.
If we read good books, we get good

/. \. u. WINS ms FIGHT.

l.
One branch Of organized labor ha,
won its fight over the radical element
in its ranks, the international Typo.
graphical Union. The ten Thousand
printers, pressmen, binders, etc, oui
on a four weeks vacation have bowed
to the mandate of the Typographical
Union and gone back to work.
This was a rather unusual walk
out. Certain independent unions il
New York refused to be further
bound by the terms of the contract
under which they were working. They
Withdrew from the international I'm.
ion and went out not in a strike but
vacation. The union ordered them
back to work but they refused to
obey its order. The result was that
three hundred of the leading mag
azines Of the country suspended pub
LEGATION.
"The outcome of the strike is graft
flying to the friends of organized la
Dor. They are glad to see labor
respect the right of contract, which
has been too often recently violated
The result is great triumph for the
!. T. U. which stood for the printing
trades fulfilling their obligations to
their employers. 1t is a great moral
victory for labor, which all might fol-
low with better results to the whole
country. When the right of contracts
is faithfully observed by both capitol
and labor, the great vantage ground
of mutural cooperation will have
been established.

THANKSGIVING.

General is the sentiment involved
in Thanksgiving. We all recognize a
Supreme Being and we all know that
our little destinies are directed by
some Supreme Power. If we have
life we are grateful for it alone, and
when that life is blessed with food
and raiment and loved ones and JOY
and happiness we are doubly grateful.
1t is in this spirit that we approach
the day set apart to return thanks.
The usual services appropriate to
the occasion will be held. The usual
holiday will be observed, the day will
be enjoyed as another gift from
Almighty God by his grateful sub
iects.

IMPROVING SCHOOL GRouNps.

IMPROVING SCHOOL GROUNDS.
The Dispatch is pleased to note
that the City Fathers have begun the
Improvement of the Barrow Mem
orial School ground, by filling in with
the material excavated from the
streets. With the holes filled and the
high places graded it win make an
ideal play ground
But larger returns will come to the
school from other sources. The
ground will be easier drained, it will
be more sanitary and the health of
the children will be conserved just
that much. A little thought here and
there put into results viii bring large
returns in most everything.

Printing paper costs more than
ever before in the history. The big
dailies are now printing every edition
at an actual loss. The larger the cir
culation the greater the loss and an
acute situation confronts us all.
1t won't be long before you will pay
ten cents for your daily paper and
unless relief comes, perhaps more.

ucation.
They can go at night to the library
and read but they can not take a book
out.
Libraries have books for every che
who would like to read.
A library is very useful and help
full. Mr.. Carnegie, who is one of the
richest mea in the world, got his
education from a library. The sold
iers have been entertained by reading
books and magazines.
Mr.. Carnegie is dead but before he
died he helped most every library.
From library you can learn Eng
fish, history and many other studies
| like to read books too.
There are many rich men who have
had their education by going to a
library.
You have to be very quiet in librar-
les.

ideas, if we read about great men,
then we might be inspired to be
great men ourselves.
Now, when you men and women
pull out your money, and help to give
this library we are begging for, you
don't know but what you may be
helping to make president Of the
United States, for some boy might
get the idea right from the library
you are going to give US.
! read not long ago that when An
drew Carnegie was boy and work
ing in factory, good man loaned
him books. They helped him so much
and that is why we built so many big
libraries all over this country.
If we are given good books now,
may be some day the world will have
a Rubber Moody library, a William
Watson college, a Harrington hos
pital, Duren automobile factory or
a great Joe Leigh areoplane works.
Hurrah for our library! Hurry up
and give it to US.

A Mineral Point Interview
Mr.. Hartley Tells His Experience.

The following brief~ account of an
interview with Mineral Point man five
years ago, and its sequel, will be read
with keen interest by every citizen.
George II. Hartley, cigar mauufac-
turer. State ST, says: Il suffered
for several months from severe, sharp
pains in the small of my back My
kidneys were sore and the kidney secre-
tons were unnatural | got Doan S
Kidney Pills at Ivey's Drug Store and
two or three boxes drove away the
pain. The kidney secretions cleared
up and felt much better in every way. "
Over five years later, Mr.. Hartley
said: II have as much confidence in
Doan's Kidney Pills today as when |
recommended them some years ago.
They rid me of an attack of kidney
trouble. When / have any return symp-
tome of kidney complaint, | use Doan S
Lidney Pills at once and they always
relieve me.
