Baton Rouge. La, April 25

Baton Rouge, La, April 25.
My Dear Mr.. McGrath:
/ thought perhaps you would be
interested to know what am doing
down here, hence this letter.
An Institute Course to train for
Red Cross Home Service is no child S
play. We do about three hours Of
fice work, and at least three or four
hours field work each day. This
field work means to get out and
walk anywhere from ten to thirty
city blocks looking up the families
of soldiers and sailors. Then there
is d systematic way in which to IN
terview them. All this we have to
learn, of course. Then we have
classroom work. We have three or
four big books on Social and Home
Service to read and take regular ex-
animation on.
We are graded on all classes OF
work. Now you will readily see that
when one gets diploma or certifi-
cate from this institute they have
worked for it; and besides, they are
prepared to carry on this work.
am sure I can organize my office
when / get back and do very much
more efficient work for the A. r. c.
With best wishes, ask to reamin,
Your friend,
Mrs. r. S. Butler.

Remarkable Achievements Of the
whitwOrth Administration
Endowment, etc.

Last Saturday The Leader stated
that an endowment of $250,0O0 was
the prospect for Whitworth College,
a committee of fifteen laymen hav-
ing been appointed at the recent
meeting in Jackson to look to the
raising cf the amount.
At this important annual meeting
OF the Toard Of Trustees, President
Cooper made report. The average
attendance this year is 215. DR..
Cooper has ably administered the az
fairs of the College for period OF
seventeen years. during which time
$50, 600 has been expended on i'm
lprovements and buildings.
It is a source of gratifcation to
him that the college has, during his
as president, given over
$3.50 worth of gratuities to the
preachers Of the Methodist Confer
ence in the way of free tuition and
concessions in board, special courses,
etc, for the daughters attending
school. Whitworth College has a
glorious history with an alumnae OF
over 1000.
During the present administration
there has been an enrolment OF
3,740 students. Among these have
been numbers of industrial pupils
whose service has saved $4,000.
The sum of $4,000 has been loaned
on expenses to poor but worthy stu
dents. And as The Leader has re-
marked before-not bill has been
unpaid in all these seventeen years
of DR.. Cooper's administration, and
when the lease of this able educator
and community server expires two
years hence, he expects to make a
gift to his beloved church of the fur
niture and pianos, worth about S10,-
10000.
While you ponder these interest
ing and remarkable items of Whit
worth's achievement you might re-
member that in sixty years the Mis-
sissippi Conference has never given
one dollar to the administration for
current expenses. DR.. Cooper has,
literally, worked Out" the saliva
tion" of the institution himself, with
the Board of Trustees.
Can any unendowed school in the
entire country show better record?

Death of Brantley Smith.

A large contingent of friends will
mourn with the family of Mr.. Brant-
ley Smith the death of the beloved
husband and father, who passed from
the scenes of earth last Friday and
was buried Saturday at Pleasant
Grove church.
Mr.. Smith had been i'll for long
time, during which he had every
care and attention from his family
and sympathizing friends. He
leaves a wife, who is nearly blind,
and seven children. Four children
preceded their father to the tomb.
One hundred and seventy-five grand
children and great grand children
also remain.
For many years Mr.. Smith lived
at his home west of Brookhayen and
made, in his years of health and
strength, frequent visits to this city.
His many friends here and else
where will mourn with the bereaved
and extend sympathy to the sorrow
ing.

4 RAISE IN TELEPHONE RATES.
35 Cents More for Residences and
rs Cents per Month for Bus
mess Houses.

Commencing May 1, there will be
an increase of thirty fve cents Tor
each residence telephone in Brook
haven. This will make the rate W
per month instead of $1.65 as at
present. Business telephones will be
Increased seventy-flve cents each per
month. This will make them $3.50
instead of $2.75 as has been the Gus
tom heretofore.
An explanation of this raise in
rates is given in an advertisement In
another part of today's Leader.
The rates for Wesson and Month
cello have been increased as well as
elsewhere. The Wesson and Month
cello rates are $500 per month for
residences and $500 per month for
business houses. This lesser charge
for business houses in the two towns
named is on account of the fact that
there are a smaller number of tele-
phones at these places.
The telephone wires are now oper-
ated by the government under the
supervision of A. S. BurleSon, Post
Master General, the order having
been made after a voluminous inves-
tigation as to operating costs. 1t
is given out that the government has
already incurred deficit from the
operation of the phone lines and
properties, raise being the only
means to keep from incurring furth-
er loss.
A circular stating that "A very
large percentage of the increase in
operating expenses is due to increase
in wages 1t is neither practicable
nor desirable to reduce the wages
and the proportion of operating ex-
penses due to increased wages is
likely to be permanent, has been
received by local manager Easley a.
mong other documents pertaining to
the new rates and orders.

AMONG THE
CANDIDATES
OF INTEREST TO
THE VOTERS AND
GENERAL PUBLIC
A. A. COhn, of BroOkhaven, for State


senator.
Hon. A. A. Cohn, of Brookhaven,
has authorized US to announce him
to the voters as candidate for the
loffice of State Senator.
Mr.. Cohn, while young man, has
proved himself one of our most use
full and deserving citizens. He is a
lawyer OF ability and high standing
at the bar and with the people. In
addition to his private practice he
lserVed as attorney for the Board OF
Supervisors some years back and is
now the efficient attorney for the
City of Brookhayen, having been re-
Ipeatedly chosen for this office. He
| has always been faithful and compe-
tent in the discharge of every duty,
and always fair and true to the in
terests of the people. He is a man
who has been tried and who has
shown himself to be a faithful pub
lie servant,
While many counties over the
state have been holding mass meet
lings to insist on worthy and capable
men entering the political field as
candidates for the legislature, many
Lincoln county citizens seem to
have gone after the same results,
more quietly, but, nevertheless, more
effectively, these friends OF good
government being fully satisfied with
Mr.. Cohn as their chosen represen-
tative.
Such a man as Mr.. Cohn is can
only expect to lose money by going
to the legislature, and that he is
willing to make the sacrifice OF
time and money necessary, is highly
to his credit.
In announcing his candidacy Mr..
ICohn requests The Leader to publish
the following card to the voters:
To the Qualified Electors of Lin
coin County:
| take this means of announcing
my candidacy for the office of State
Senator for the Eighth Senatorial
District.
AT a later date / will announce
the principles upon which base my
candidacy.
Should be elected will dedicate
my efforts to an honest, courageous,
progressive and efficient fulfillment
of the duties of the office, Believ-
ing as do in representative form
of government, whereby the wishes
and best interests of the people
should be served, will do my utmost
to better and promote the interests
of the people.
Thanking you for your support
and cooperation in the campaign, !
am,
Respectfully,
A. A. Cohn.

The Civic Center Luncheon at Meth
Odist Church Yesterday.

The Civic Center Luncheon plan
ned by the local w. M. S. of the
Methodist church for the meeting in
the interest of the Centenary move
ment in Brookhaven on yesterday re-
suited in an inspirational season and
one of delightful social intercourse
as well, and satisfying. too, entirely
to the sensual appetite at lunch-time
which was divertingly "sandwiched"
with eloquent talks by the promi-
nent visiting women present.
Miss Bessie Kearney, whose name
is SYNONYMOUS with every good word
and work of her church, presided as
toastmistIess and won wonderful re-
sponses from Mrs. Ford, of Magno-
liza; Mrs. B. F. Lewis, Conference
President of the w. M. S., and from
Mrs. Harris, returned missionary
from China, who spoke here and will
speak at the only two other similar
meetings of this Conference at jack
son and Meridian.
The addresses of these leading and
gifted women thrilled the hundred
or more auditors as they sat about
the beautiful tables with their dec
orations of red roses and lilies and
smilax the contribution of Brook
haven's gardens toward the success
of the really momentous occasion
the import of which means so much
toward making democracy safe for
the world. In the open discussion
addresses were made by Miss Thomp-
son, of Wesson; Mrs. Short, Of Sena-
.tobia frs. Hoffman. of Brookhayen; !;
Revs. J. 4. Leggett, w. II. Lewis and
Others.
The Leader has stated before that
the Brookhaven church will give
SIS, 900 in FIVE years toward the Cen
tenary movement which celebrates
the initial missionary movement of
the church in 1919, the goal among
Methodists of the country being
$35, ,000,0 900.
The lunch served the many guests
on yesterday, again, as on former
occasions, attested the equipment
and efficiency of the church and the
ability of the w. M. S. to dispense
delightful hospitality.
The G1ee Club, led by Miss Rosser,
of Whitworth College, gave beauti-
full numbers during the service much
to the delight of visitors and home
folks.
1t is with pleasure The Leader
heeds the admonition of the nrst
hymn sung about the tables before
the seating of the guests to Publish
Glad Tidings", and hopes from
time to time to emphasize the great
missionary enterprise the church has
inaugurated.
