SAYS .'VARDAMAN BEGAT. BILBO" AND
BuBO "BEGAT.".

Under the caption, "The ISSUEsas to The ISSUE" the Pom.
totoc: Advance o. April 3. whose, talented editor at one time
whooped EN- up for Vardanlan and Bilbo has the following to
say: -. RI" - So -~~~~~~G
Editor John Rankin, of the Tupelo New Era" pays his re
spects to that stink-pot publication, the Jackson Issue in
much more vivid and picturesque manner than we are capsh-
of doing. We have often thought of "The Issue" along identic
ally the same line, but on some subjects our powers of expires
sion jam and we can only work our mind and think sonbrely.
On one point, however, we disagree with Bro. Rankin. He
thinks there is hope of regenerating "The Issue" We don't.
A hen can lay a new egg, but she is wasting good hen energy
trying to hatch something out of a spoiled egg or working over
a rotten one.
Brother Rankin thinks Senator Vardaman could purge "The
Issue" OF BilbO, change its name, breathe into it the breath OF
life, and make it a useful publication. We don't think 80.
Senator Vardaman sinned away his days of grace when he
could have saved THE Issue" trom it's fallen state and restored
his own integrity to the people of Mississippi.
Vardaman is as much responsible for Bilbo, az Bilbo is for the
disrepute of 1.-The Issue"
Like begets like" That's a natural law, old as the eternal
hills. Vardaman begat Bilbo. Bilbo begat "The Issue" "The
Issue begat-oh, well, the stocks about run out.
Vardaman had ample chance to repudiate Bilbo, when nc
one doubts that he knew as much about the traits and charact-
eristics of that individual as the deluded followers of Vardaman
(among whom we were which) later had to find out for them
selves. ."
Some of Vardaman's blessed sunlight shining on Bilbo at
the right time would certainly have had a mild, soothing and
vitalizing effect upon Mississippi. Instead. we got a frost. If
Vardaman isn't to blame, who is?
The pot can't call the kettle black. The entire OUTFIT Is a
scrambled rotten mess that can't be unscrambled, and to stir
at it only adds to the stencil. -
Any part of a dead body is just as dead as the rest OF It, Ii
YOU ever saw a dead cat, it's dead from the tip of Its tail to the
top of it's head-liver, lights, hide, hair, claws, volce-every-
thing about the cat is dead as the proverbial door nail.
The Door thing hasn't even an immortal soul to go catawaul-
ing through eternity and annoying folks who have a ditate for
such noises.
So it is with "The ISSUE" The Bibo administration winds
it up, and that's the end of it.

"a -
~ D. DOES A FARM DEMONSTRATORS PAY?
~.a. ~ Nn. -

We are sure that this. question has been asked many times by
many of the citizens of Grenada county.
AS a partial answer to our query, We have it in the last report
OF our County Demonstration to the board of supervisors.
, The Sentinel is free to say that when our board contracted
with a Demonstration at a salary of $4,000. we questioned very
much whether any Demonstration was worth that much
to any county, but in the few months that Mr.. Turner has been
on the job ne has been showing" us and his last report above
referred to is very substantial proof that ne is not only earning
his money but is doing his dead level best to push the farming
and live stock interest of the county to the limit. He just keeps
on keeping on. Mr.. Turner should have satisfied the doubling
Thomases about the wisdom of farm demonstration work. We
are glad our people are getting behind him and If there be any
who have not fallen in line, let them do so and make the thing
unanimous.
Not only has he saved in actual cash during the first three
months far more than the county pays him for the entire year,
in salary but the orchards he has pruned and sprayed, the hog
feeders he has built and the demonstrations in feeding and vac
cinating hogs has a cumulative value that will grow with the
years. Never before have the people in this county been so m~'
terested and filled with enthusiasm along the lines OF progressive
and diversified agriculture. We now have 200 acres planted
in Irish potatoes and whatis said to be the largest sweet potato
bed in Mississippi and the whole county seems determined that
our September Pig Club shall make the largest shipment OF hogs
ever sent from any point in the United States.
Q. F. Turner will do his part if the people will do theirs.

WATTERSON, THE GREATEST OF ALL.

Henry Watterson's Looking Backwards" which are appear
ing in the Saturday Evening Post, is the voice of one from the
hill topswhose experience and vision has q sweep of thesworfd..
and who is speaking as a father to those he loves. He speaks
out of a luxury of experience and association with the leaders of
the country from Franklin Pierce up to the present day. His
words are the words of a patriot, of a great leader, OF one of
great brains. His language combines grace and elegance with
force, logic and persuasion to a greater degree than any man in
all the history OF the country. We have had great editors, but
Henry Watterson is the greatest Of all. He stands as a giant
oak upon the topmost crest of the highest mountain.
To the light minded and to those who would put eff religious
matters to a more convenient season." we commend the
thought of this great man, now nearly 80 years of age, though
still vigorous and active, in regard to his early religious impress
sions. He safes that he used to attend the camp meetings COM
mon at that day and that the hymns sung at those meetings ring
In his ears today and that even now he canNscarcely restrain the
tears when he hears those old songs, most of which he can still
repeat. Further he says, II. retain the spiritual essentials /

On the 9Th day of March, 1919 the
home Of Mr.. and Mr. S. E. H. Ramey
was saddened by the tragic death of
the youngest child, Roland a four
year old son. On the morning OF
that day while other members of the
family we're out of the DON his cloth
ing caught fire from the CRATE and be
fore it could be extinguished he was
burned so badly that he passed away
in the afternoon. During all the day
while family, physician and friends
ministered waited and watched the
brave little sufferer struggled and way
cred and in the end gently and quietly
yielded to the inevitable and entered
into eternal rest and happiness. The
following day his body vas laid away
in the cemetery at Charleston, the
burying ground of his mothers fami-
w. funeral services being conducted
by Rev. r. A. Tucker. The sympa-
thy of the entire community go III
to the family in this sore bereave-
ment. Little Roland was a bright
winsome child, affectiOnate and happy
in disposition. His going away
leaves a vacancy in the home which
cannot be filled, but let parents land
brothers remember that while he can
not come back to them they can go
to him. May we not believe that this
brief life has, fulfilled its Divinely APP
pointed mission to the world, scatter
ing sunshine for a few years in h
lives OF others and then leading the
way 10 the larger life and brighter
world

KEEPING UP WITH NEIGHBORS.

Keeping up with the %neighbors is the favorite OF most of us
And there's a certain value in the incentives given to us by these
progressive neighbors Of ours.
It's where the Smiths put up a better house than ours that
we determine to hustle to beat our own best recomd, even though
we can't beat that of the Smiths.
It's where the Episcopaleans erect a substantial stone churcn
structure that the Baptists get together and appoint a building
committee. -.
It's where the next town ~subscribes enough money to build
an opera house that we get busy, because we don't want this
neighbor town to get ahead OF us.
1t would be an easy matter to preach a sermon or write an
essay on the virtue of carbohydrates the WORD wed use'
perhaps-our progressive %neighbors.
But that isn't exactly the purpose OF this editorial.
It's all right to have a desire to keep up with the neignoofs'
bnt # NAV be all wrong to do just the things our ~neighbors are
doing. 1
Perhaps, instead of putting our money into a new house SO
that w NAV have one as good as our neighbours, it may be best
to nut it into the education Of our children, so they'll have a bet
tor house than Smiths otherwise these children may be Compel
"a - snend all their lives in an even poorer house than ours.
or instead of trying to put up a fine granite church building
that will make that Of the Epscopaleans look cheap III co"ps

VICTORY LOAN DRIVE BEGINS APRIL 81.

Throughout the United States there will begin April Fl, the
last rally of the American forces made necessary in answer to
the kaisers onslaught on American rights and liberties.
Things are happening so quick and fast these days and so
many seemingly impossible things are being done, that many of
us marvel at many undertakings, yet they are put over. Many
of us may think the Loan cannot be hoated, but the women of
America say, IF you men cannot sell the Bonds, step aside,
Wen put the job over" There is more money in the banks of
the country than ever before in it's history. The question is be-
fore us. What shall we do?

son, it may be better to erect a comfortable parish house that
will meet the social and educational needs of the young people
and the older ones, too.
And. instead of trying to get ahead of the next town by build
ing a bigger and better opera house than they put up, it might
be wiser to build a substantial public library.
Try to excel-that's fine.
But study your own. needs. @tN

The above from the. Washington City Herald is alas too trde.
Money is too much the standard. Too many measure a mans
success by what money he makes and by how his family lives.
We have grown to be the greatest irnitators imaginable. How
much Of this we have caught from the African in our midst, or
whether any Of it, is a matter of conjecture But that man or
woman who cannot see that the. world has gone mad in spend
ing money and in the rush to keep up with each other, has
either got an impaired vision or is without. the ability to analyze
what is daily passing before his eyes,. -

We note from the daily press that our talented and esteemed
friend. Walker Wood, Editor of the Winona Times, is being urg-
ed to submit his name as a candidate for the State Senate from
Montgomery and Carroll counties. He should be made to run
and if elected, that district could count upon having an exper-
fenced legislator and one who is alive to his duty. He knows
a great many public men in the state and knows how to bring
things to pass and we feel sure that there is hardly any man in
the district better fitted to render his people a more satisfactory
service.

 Seaplane Flights
 PlannedB By Navy
LRepubiican A, p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26-Two long distance seaplane flights are planned for early next year by the navy. one 10 Brazil and another to the Philippines. Planes of entirely new construction probably will be used.
 The flight to the Philippines will be the longest ever attempted in the his tory of aviation, seven thousand miles, or twice the distance covered by the NC-4 in the transatlantic flight.
 Plans of the department it was learned today, call for the start of the trans Pacific flight from San Diego California, with a stop at Hawaii making the first leg 2,000 miles long and longer than the NC-4's Trepassey Azores voyae, and another stop al Guam. Naval officers, it was learned are considering extension of the flight to Hong Kong, China.
 Hampton Roads probably will be se- lected as the base for the start of the South American flight, ending at Ric Janeiro. The longest leg of this jour ney will be 1000 miles with stops al Guantanamo Cuba, Haiti, Santo Do- mingo, Trinidad and several Soutf American ports.
 The type of plane to be used in the flights is now under discussion at the navy department. A new model based on information gained from the trans Atlantic flight is to be entered ane experiments along this line are beins made now by navy experts.

 SAYS REPORT
Congressional Probe Con- mittee, Just Back from France, Alleges Grinstead And Strong Directly to Blame
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Bringing q report of outra geous cruelties perpe trated on American soldiers in prisons of the A. E, F. in France, the congress sional committee sent overseas to in vestigate the tales of army prison hor TOTS arrived here tonight on the trans port Agamemnon from Brest. Ehe par ty was composed of Representatives Royal C. Johnson. South Dakota, chair man; Oscar F. Bland of Indiana. and Henry D. Flood of Virginia.
 Conditions in army prison camps were found "very bad with special em- phasis laid on prison camp No near Paris, the committee stated.
 "Conditions were appalling" Repre- sentative Bland said as soon as the steamer docked Nothing like this treatment of our men had ever been known before in the history of the American army. We have copies of records, reports and testimony of ln- spectors, courts martial officers, so as to be enabled to definitely fix respon- sibility."
 Representative Bland held that Col onel Grinstead and General Strong were directly responsible for theF F'unprecent- ed cruelties," at prison farm No. 2, and 
 Colonel Grinstead, did not know of con ditions he should have.
 He said that General Harts for months was in the same building at u Rue Ste Anne, where thousands oi outrages were committed. Lack of food, heat and air, and nauseating sanitary conditions were before his eyes, and the reports showing these conditions were on file in his office Mr Bland said
 The representative added that Gen. eral Harts was the military guardian of the prison, and no man in the judge advocate generals or provost mar shaIs departments had the boldness 10 recommend his trial before court martial CT efficiency board.
 Three facts stand out" said Mr Bland First, that the most horribl and revolting cruelty existed; second that the higher officers responsible .have not been made to atone for these wrongs; third, that no reasonable ex- cuse for the same has been offered by the war department It is clearly uf to them"
 Congressman Bland added, that it < the intention of the committee to set ble for the outrages will be brought t. justice in the forum of public opinion
 Congressman Johnson said the party l should arrive in Washington early to- morrow morning and would immedi- ately begin sorting the records brought l over by them.
