WITNESSED MEMORABLE
SUFFRAGE FIGHT

A Columbian, Miss Mary Stokes and
a proponent Of the cause of suffrage,
was privileged to witness the memoir
able fight for suffrage in the Tennessee
Legislature the past week. She has
been attending Peabody College this
summer, and took advantage Of the
opportunity to "look in" on the fight,
which was history in the making.
Miss Stokes was present in the gal
leries when Speaker Seth Walker en-
tered the motion to reconsider, but
which was not taken advantage of by
the ants.
Miss Stokes is expected home today.

THE CAR SHORTAGE.

The shortage of cars has worked
hardship on this community as it has
on practically every other community
in the nation. It's effects have been
felt keenly by the hay interests of this
county.
Hay is on the decline at this sea-
son of the year, or rather little
earlier than at this time, and failure to
secure cars to get the hay to market
in time to take advantage of the
favorable prices, has cost the hay
growers of this section thousands and
thousands of dollars.
1t is true that the car shortage sit
uation is general all over the country,
but il has been the policy of the rail-
roads to send cars to certain sections
of the country whore seasonal crops
had to be moved to market.
Cities and communities located in
in these sections are organized and
they see through organized effort that
they get their quota or share of the
allotment of cars to move crops and
other necessary commodities.
1t is very likely that this section
has suffered more than it otherwise
would have suffered because of the
lack Of organization and a commercial
club.
Every organized community is see
ing that it gets its share and quota
Of cars, and the unorganzed towns
and cities, and there are few Of them
in these days--are at great disad
vantage
There is no special criticism Of the
railroads in the manner in which they
are handling the distribution of cars.
It's just a case of the fellow who goes
after a thing strongest gets the best
results.
This brings Us to the vital necessity
Of Chamber Of Commerce for Col.
umbus and Lowndes county
This one instance of lack of organi
cation brings US face to face with the
fact of the loss of thousands and
thousands Of dollars to the county.

EDITORIAL TRIBUTES
TO Mr.. P. w. MAER
Hon. P. W. Maer Dead.
(Vardaman's Weekly.

On the morning Of the 18th inst.
I received a telegram announcing the
death of Hon. P. w Maer, editor Of
the Columbus Dispatch, published at
Columbus, Mississippi. His death was
sudden and unexpected and the shock
was great to his friends and aequaint-
ances.
Percy Maer, whom | had known for
thirty years, was man Of good
ability, great energy and enterprise.
He was the writer's friend in early
life and took a very lively interest in
my political career to the time that /
was elected to the Senate Of the
United States, In the distribution of
patronage it became my good for
tune to be able to recommend and
secure the appointment of Mr.. Maer
to the position of Collector of the
Port at Mobile, Alabama, which place
he held for one term.
Percy Maer was in many respects
very extraordinary man. As mem
Der of the Legislature of Mississippi
he took high rank and for many
years he has been one of the leading
editors of the state. His home life
was beautiful. He was an affectionate
husband and loving father My
heart goes out in deepest sympathy
for the good wife and two beautiful
who are called upon to mourn
his untimely death.

Journalism in Mississippi sustain
ed a distinct loss in the death of Hon.
Percy W. Maer, editor of The Col
umbus Dispatch, who died suddenly in
his office from a stroke Of apoplcxy.
Mr.. Maer was native Of Columbus
and followed the newspaper business
all of his life. In that field he was
enterprising and useful to his home
city, county and State, promoting
those things political, social, indus
trial and commercial that tend to bet
ter prevailing conditions. Aside from
his newspaper work he filled positions
of trust whose duties he discharged
with his county two terms in the
lower house of the Mississippi lcgis-
lature with credit to himself and bcne-
fit to the State. He was prominent in
the fraternal associations, having
served the State lodge of Odd Eel
lows as its grand master.
In 1914 he was appointed by the
Federal government as collector of
the port of Mobile, which position
he filled efficiently for four years
As an editor he was fearless and
honest, virile and welded facile pen
which brought his paper, the Column
bus Dispatch, to an enviable place in
Mississippi journalism.

tire State extends to the bereaved
wife and children sincere sympathy
and coincidence.

HARD AT WORK IN BELGIUM
Coal Mining and Other Industries Are
Being Rapidly Put on "a
Normal Basis.

The Belgian coal mines are now turn
ing out about so per cent of the nor
NAL production. They supply nearly
all the coal needed for the Belgian
industries, while some 5000 tons of
coal a month are exported to France.
Then the great glass industry of the
country, which before the war gave
work to many thousands, is rapidly
regaining it's former prosperity, and
only quite recently the French minis
try of reconstruction gave an order
to single Belgian firm for 100000
square meters of window panes, to be
utilized in the devastated regions. The
result of all this is that whereas, at
the time of the signing of the arms
tice, the French franc was worth Ito
or even 115 francs in Belgium, it is
now worth 95 centimes. Belgium,
moreover, is very far from combining
her efforts to France. Great Britain is
already a considerable importer of
Belgian goods, while the United States
recently placed an order in Belgium
for more than 3OO,OOOOOO francs worth
of glassware.

The children played large part In
the American army's Christmas in
France. At the artillery camp at Mail
ly. for example, it was a top sergeant
who said, ten days or so before the
day:
"Say, fellows, these poor little VII
lage kids haven't had much Christ
mas in their lives, have they, now?
What do you say we take up a col
lection and see what we can do?"
The idea took in flash. And they
did so well, giving as they always
gave, with both hands, that the total
sum was amazing.

on we could hand those little shavers

banks is now placed at $50OO0). Here
is the point: You cannot say you will
only lend $1,000 and that you will
make that loan to a class Of farmers
who only want $780, while at the
same time here is a man who wants
$4,000 or $4,000, who is just as capa-
BILE of using that amount efficiently in
the production of food as is the other
fellow of using the $500.
"Since this bill (senate biH 31O9) has
been pending, the statement has gone
out from the joint stock land banks
that all applications for loans are held
up until it is known whether this bill
is to pass. My neighbor, Mr.. J. H.
Upps, was approached by loan shark
and offered loan of $4,000 to take
the place of a loan that was to have
been made to him by a joint stock land
bank. The joint stock land bank would
have made the loan for 33 years, but
the loan shark only offered to make
his loan for five years. The loan
shark did, however offer to make the
loan Of $4,000 at 6 per cent interest
with only an additional charge Of $500
for commission.
What Will Happen In Five Years?
"But the question is: What will
happen at the end of the five years?
When the influence of the Joint stock
land banks Or the federal land banks
has disappeared because they have
been killed by this bill, then what will
the loan shark ask my neighbor Upps
when his debt falls due? A million
farmers in the United States can make
a mighty good guess as to what will
happen. A million farmers in the
United States can foresee how the loan
shark will put the screws upon Mr..
Upps when the time for renewal comes
around.
'The farmer is willing and anxious
to increase production. He knows that
the nation needs food. He knows that
the world needs food. He knows that
the nation is depending on him. He
knows that the world is depending
upon the American farmer. But he
knows also that he cannot make
bricks without straw If you want
the farmer to increase production you
have got to furnish him the tools. You
have got to furnish him the oppor-
tunity. You have got to furnish him
the capital on convenient terms and at
reasonable rates. You cannot ham
string the financing of the farmer and
get your needed increased production"

WANTS TWO KINDS OF BANKS
Says Joint Stock Land Banks Are for
Farmers Who Want to go it
AIone"-Federal Banks for These
With Cooperative Idea.

"There should be two kinds of land
banks said A. II. Judy, an Ohio farm
er, speaking before the United States
senate committee on banking and cur
rency in January.
"The reason for this is that one set
of farmers do not want to take stock
in any institution, but want to use
whatever money they can get in their
farming operations, while other farm
ers will join cooperative societies and
take stock in the cooperative land
banks. The joint stock land bank an
swers the need of those farmers who
do not care to join a cooperative So
ciety and take stock in bank. The
federal land bank, with it's cO-opera
tive plan, answers the need of those
farmers who have the cooperative
idea.
Some Farmers Need Big Loans.

is to be used by a farmer residing on
the land and to be used in improving
the land and in increasing production

Of the loans should not be fixed too
