School, Rev. H. H. Buckingham, in
vited the trustees, of the city schools
to enjoy a dinner prepared by the
Home Economics Department of that

was out of town, only four of the
trustees, r. w.. Sharp, ]. A. .Roane,
J. B. Perry and o. F. Lawrence were
situated to partake of the dinner.
The table was nicely and daintily
spread in one Of the rooms of the col

was we'll served and exceedingly well
prepared. The menu and its preps-
ration showed that the woman who
presides in this department, E. D.
Gray, was well versed in the culinary
arts. Besides the dinner, there were
on display various and sundry pieces
Of needle work that showed that the

that good results were being attained

Only in this way can the negro rem

N. E. POWELL ANNOUNCES
FOR CHANCERY CLERK

Mr. NJ. E. Powell authorizes The
Sentinel to announce his candidacy
! for reelection to the office of chan
Gerry clerk, position to which he was
I elected four years ago. Mr.. Pow
ell, no doubt, relies upon the old
Democratic custom of rewarding the
faithful public official with a second
term as one Of his mai. =. ne of sue
cess.
Mr.. Powell was rea. !: the Ia
um community, part T this amt
partly in Tallahatch' unity. He
has been resident of N..enada fosss
perhaps twenty years during which
time he has had business connections
with several of the leading mercan4
tile firms of the town which business
experience would be invaluable IL
any man and should have stood hin
well in hand in the duties he assumed
as a public official He is by nature
c.ever and accommodating and has dis
played the same traits as an Offices
that he did as a private citizen. IL
was undoubtedly Mr.. Powell's aim t@
make the county an honest and upA
right official and if there has eve
been any charge lodged against hir%
to the contrary, the public has no.
been apprised of it. Certainly tn q
experience he has gained during thes
four years should qualify him for bet
ter service in. the future than in tn
past. The public is familiar with hi
record as chancery clerk and Tn
Sentinel feels. sure that the voter
will give his candidacy that generous
consideration that they always givS
those seeking their suffrage.

CANDIDATE FOR
STATE TREASUER.
DR.. L. S. Rogers Visits Grenada and
Tie Plant.

DR.. l.. S. Rogers Of Holmes county
spent part of one day in Grenada
last week interviewing those he had
an. opportunity to see. He also made
a trip out to Tie Plant. DIR. Rogers
is candidate for State Treasuer.
He is one of Mississippi best and most
useful men. For several years he
was a member of the legislature and
the State Charity Hospital at Jack
son, where so many unfortunate peo-
pie are receiving medical care and at
tention, is the result of many years
of his anxious labors and plans. The
hospital was the dream of DR.. Rogers
life and fortunately he had the privi-
lege of seeing the fruition of that
dream. In this respect, as we'll as
many others, he rendered the public
a great service. Aside from public
affairs, DR.. Rogers is hightoned
Christian gentleman and can always
be relied upon to take his stand with
the best citizenship of any communi-
ty.
His record asa public official and
his fidelity to every trust is a guaran-
tee that he will prove faithful if hon.
ored by the people Of Mississippi with
the Office Of Treasurer. There is no
demagOgefy or time serving about
DR.. Rogers; he is 5ust what he is and
in some respects it is refreshing to
see such man as he is in contest
for one of the minor state Offices
Regardless of who or how many en-
tiers the race, The Sentinel feels no
doubt about DIR. Rogers being one of
the strongest factors in the contest

nothing that he thought would bene-
fit his boy and can take consolation
in doing all he could to prolong the
life of one that means so much to a
parent. It is hard for the child,
even though he has reached the age
of responsibility, to understand how

 VERY BAD NEWS
EX-RULER'S HOUSEHOLD GETS NEWS OF APPROACHING
 TRIAL BY ALLIES.

Amerongen. - An official abstract of the preliminary peace terms puD- lished in the Dutch newspapers, which was translated and read to the former German emperor, has aroused considerable excitement among the members of the Hohenzollern party. An inkling concerning what the en- tente intended to do in connection with bringing William Hohenzol1ern to trial had reached the German off cials earlier in the week. They com- municated the information to the for mer empress, who displayed signs e marked emotion, but decided to await the official report before making the news known to her husband.
 A special messenger motored to Arnheim to procure copies of the 1c- cal newspapers. Meanwhile the for mer emperor continued his usual oc- cupation of saving logs, but appar- entity he Is suffering from evergrow. ing nervous excitement His saw worked as never before and his phy- sician, Dr. Foerster, who assisted him, was completely exhausted at lunch time.
 How the former emperor took the news, the correspondent was unable to ascertain as everyone in the castle is sworn to secrecy regarding hap penings. Rumors were circulated in the village that he attempted to com init suicide by hanging, but these are considered untrue.
 The former ruler looked well as he walked cut to his saving. It seems undoubted that he intends to stay in Holland if he can, through the sum- mer, as further precautions have been taken around the castle. Orders have been given to erect a high fence along the entire side of the moat.

CHANCELLOR ADDRESSING AS SEMBLY SAYS ALLIED TERMS
 ARE UNACCEPTABLE.
SPEECH LAUDLY CHEERED
Independent Socialists Not in Sym pathy With Rsmarks-Treaty Terms Are Called Dreadful
 and Murderous.

Berlin.-The declaration by Chan cellor Philip Scheidemann in the Ma tional Assembly that the peace terms were unacceptable" brought the members of the assembly, the specta- tors and those in the press gallery to their feet amid loud cheers.
 The chancellor reached the climax of his statement on the peace terms 10 minutes after he began. He paus- ed in his address and then thundered out the word which announced the German governments rejection of the Versailles conditions.
 'This treaty" he said, ''is in the view of the imperial government, un- acceptable. I am unable to believe that this earth could bear such a doc ument without a cry issuing from millions of throats in all lands, with out distinction of party. Away with this murderous scheme"
 With the exception of the Tndepend- { ent Socialists, led by Hugo Taase, all factions in the assembly rose and eheered very loudly. The assembly is sitting temporarily in the assem- bly hall of the University of Berlin on Unter Den Linden.
 After the chance1lor's speech the leaders of the various parties, with the exception of Haase group, made speeches in which they declared they backed up the government
 The chancellor described the peace treaty as dreadful and murderous' . document He said it would make an enormous jail of Germany in which 60.000,000 persons would have to la bor for the victors in the war. The chancellor said German trade would be strangled should the peace terms be accepted.
 He criticised President Wilson and said that the president by his atti- tude had deceived the hopes of the German people.

U. 6. WHEAT DIRECTOR JULIUS BARNES GIVES OUT STATE
 MENT AT KEW YORK.

New York.-The cost of the essen- tials of life, which has assumed such proportions of oppressiYeness, will soon be reduced, according to q state ment issued by Julius Barnes, United States wheat director Now that the European nations are approaching Q settlement, after four years of energy and life devoted to destruction, men all over the world will return to pro- ductiVe industries.
 Production is being resumed by 400,000,000 people in Europe" MT Barnes statement reads, "who have for four years been fighting desper- ately and blindly. Belgium has strug- gled to it's feet and the Belgian re- lief commission has discontinued it's work there because these people are again able to stand alone Poland, Czecho-Sloyakia, Roumania, Serbia, Finland, all promise stable govern ments and the beginning of the or derly processes of life in the immed- fate future. The effect of these re- placements in production and orderly distributions will tighten the strain on America, and our own fortunate country will be enabled to turn more of it's production into domestic mar. kets"
 The increased cost of living, MT. Barnes points out, has been due to entirely natural laws. The imitation was due to the expansion of world credit, which to those with fixed in- comes meant a burden of hardship. The sacred obligation to feed the famished countries had to be carried out
 Now that the burden has been di- unfinished, there should be a material reduction in prices of food.
 ''There has been no real reason for any advance in four the statement continues. we have protected tho domestic supply without jeopardy, and mills and dealers are beginning to realize this and recover their busi- ness sanity"
