We the undersigned citizens OF
Grenada County, and Kinds County
mississippi, respectfully petition unto
sou to pardon II Leroy Johnson,
and fcr cause of this petition we state
the following:
That at the February term 1918 Of
the Circuit Court Of Grenada County
that said Leroy johnson plead guilty
to the crime Of burglary and was
sentenced TO the State p~enitentiary
for four years. That said Leroy
Johnson was a boy Of IS years and
was born and reared at Raymond,
Kinds County, Mississippi, and had
always borne a good reputation in
every way until the above crime was
committed. That the SAID boy was
persuaded 10 commit said crime by
one John Shaw, another negro, who
IS much older than Johnson, and a
negro of a bad reputation, and one
who has served as a convict for
violations of the law, and who has d
criminal record in Grenada County.
The said Leroy Johnson and John
Shaw were burgiarizing a store in
Grenada, Mississippi, and when the
offers came upon them, the said
wesley Shaw made his escape, and
IS row at large and is a fugitive from
justice for said crime. Leroy John
son was taken into custody and made
due confession of his guilt and &C
cepted the sentence imposed upon
him by the court. We believe that
this boy has been more than sufficient
y punished for said crime. and that
h. should be rardoned anu given
another chance in life and allowed
to return and live with his Old par
ents At Raymond, Mississippi.

starts with an animals fur, or an as

correspondent Of Chicago Tribune.
All was progressing gayly until the
bridegroom was called upon to pro-
duce the ring. In vain ne felt In his
trousers pocket; nothing could he
found except hole through which
the ring had evidently fallen into his
boot. He glared helplessly around
the assembled guests.
"Take off your boot" ordered his
prospective mother.in-law. The young
miner hesitated. the suspense and ST.
lence were painful. "Take off your
boot" again came in strident tones as
the old lady crowded forward in a
threatening manner.
The young fellow reluctantly pulled
off his boot, the ring was found-also
huge hole in the stocking through
which five toes protruded. A painful
silence ensued-but again the efficient
old lady saved the day by remarking:
"Sam, it's high time you mere mar

Electric Transmission.

How different 1t is now, in the trans.
mission of electric power. from what 1t
was. say, 25 years ago, when there
had to be relay stations for the trolleys
every ten miles or so. For example. in
California, physical connection of three
large hydro-electric systems has been
made by means Of which power gen
Grated near the California; Oregon line
is transmitted continuously for dis
tance of 800 miles to the San Francisco
bay region. Experts were won't to say
in the nineties that nothing like this
could be done. But It Is being done,
and experts are now proclaiming that
other and greater things contemplated
In electric power transmission are i'm
possible. Time will perhaps show that
they are not.

if anyone objects to the word "spend"
on account of possible misconstruc-
tion of it: produce more: waste
less"
If everybody would do those two
things, or if half, or quarter of the
people in the United States would
settle down in earnest to doing them
and thus setting a good example ii
would turn false prosperity into
real prosperity People who are
making money" only to see it slip
through their fingers would find that
they were getting something for their
money; and people making no more
than formerly would come nearer to
getting an old-fashioned living out
of it.
This formula does not cover the
whc'c problem. I'nder-production
and oyer-spending are not the only
causes of high prices
There is the fundamental cause of a
big war debt and the inflated cur
rency and credit resulting from it.
While there is so much money in
corculation. prices cannot 20 down to
normal. But the methods suggested
might send them down, say, at least
half way to their pre-war level with
in fairly short time. And that would
give rs cents the purchasing power
