The army Of unemployed" will soon
begin to diminish. Industries will be
taking on more men and all will again
be we'll That is certain. It is not
idle forecasting, but is the opinion Of
economic and industrial experts who are
in close touch with the the situation
throughout the country. Many persons
hit by the unemployment wave. have be-
come pessimistic unnecessarily. The
situation will right itself in due course
and will not last long as ii is going
now. The nation will catch up with
past production, when new production

Out of 5SS deaths in New Orleans in
cne week, 233 were attributed to vene-
real diseases. 1t is unfortunate in the
opinion of health officials that COM
munity which has distinguished itself
in health work by eliminating yellow
fever, controlling smallpox and bubonio
plague, and reducing malaria to a min
imum, should be unsuccessful in it's
fight against disease of this character
Most Of them are durable and all Of
them preventable. Sanitation and NOR
ality would Danish them from the face

The Leader has been informed of the
suffering of little children from cold
and hunger in this county and in Co
piah. About a dozen children are in
volved in the two families and all have
fathers or big brothers; but the little
ones are neglected cruelty and are with
out sufficient clothing and protection.
A young girl of thirteen is associated
with white men and negroes. The ma
tural protectors of the children seem
irresponsible. What is the responsible
ity of those who know about the chill
dren's plight?

Such a contract is no more meant to

Boy Whose Blow Caused Death in Me-

Meridian, Miss, Dec. 1O.-Lawplace
Powell, aged sixteen, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. N, c. Powell killed by being struck
with an indoor ball bat was laid to rest
yesterday afternoon in Magnolia Gem
etery. The active pallbearers were ju-
nior High School classmates of deceas-
ed. Many beautiful floral offerings from
the teachers and pupils of the schools
and from people throughout the city tes-
titled to the popularity of the lad who
met such a tragic death. Jasper Ha-
guewood, who struck the fatal blow
while the boys were at play on the
school campus and who was a class
mate and companion of young Powell
living in the same community and go
ing to school together each day, is still
in the county Jail lamenting his hasty
action which took the life of his friend.

Senator Capper of Kansas has a repu-
tation of being the farmers friend. He
has been giving the recent drop in crop
values more attention than perhaps any
other American senator and his bill to
tax the grain gambling business out of
existence meets with the approval of
all soil-tillers in Lincoln county, as else
where.
The Semi-weekly leader., 1920-12-15

The grain gamblers sometimes force
prices up and sometimes down; but in
either case the price is forced up fur
ther than conditions merit and forced
down further than conditions merit And
just at the time of the year when prjc-
es should be Stabilized the prices are
usually knocked down. The trouble is
not a single son of gun complains

increase in the discount rates of the
federal reserve banks is a contingency
which must be reckoned with" This
was ia ken to mean that the govern

Vegetable seed will be cheaper this
year and there is rejoicing among
gardeners. Grass and pasture seed
supplies of the United States are so
scarce at this time that sharp advan-
ces are being forced in the price. Red
clover is up cent for the day, while
alsike has advanced cents a pound
within the last week. This higher
price and scarcity of offerings is due
to the great demand for all grass seeds
from France and other portions of
Europe. AS rule France sells much

HOW CAN Y0U7

How can an american Of any po-
litical faith vote for a party with
such a platform with sections that
slap the boys in the face who won
the world war:
The Republican Handbook not
only fails to contain a single word
of praise or appreciation of the
glorious achievements Of the Ameri-
can Army in France, but on the con-
trary it offers a gratituous insult to
the American service man.
The Republican campaign text
book charges that the government
lavished too many Injuries on the
four million young Americans who
saw service in the World War. 1t
says "The per soldier per day ex-
penditures for the United States it
was estimated, was from four to six
times the per soldier per day cost of
France"
Every American soldier who saw
service overseas knows how the
French poilus lived. They received
five cents day while the American
soldier got dollar a day. 1t is the
Republican party which thinks a
dollar a day is too much. Further
more, France did not have to trans

BIGEL0W BUYS STAMPS

Just as an indication of the man
ner in which Government Savings
Stamps are still being sold, the
work of W. E. Jones, postmaster at
Bigelow, Ark, is cited for the month
of September.
Postmaster Jones has written the
Savings Division of the Treasury
Department at st. Louis that his
sales for September were 40 Savings
Stamps of maturity value of SIS each,
or 5000. His sales also included "a
Thrift Stamps, valued at he.
Postmaster Jones says this is only
an average months sale, and that
during the approaching winter his
sales will largely exceed this.
