be the case, and after months Of
deliberation, in vain attempts to
right the wrongs that the perfidy
of European nations had brought
upon the world, and during which
were revealed secret treaties and
pledges, intrigue, national greed
and shameless jealousies, and dur
ing which much was lost that the
soldiers won on the field Of battle,
peace treaty was finally pro-
duced that atisfied no one. It was
unjust, and far from fulfilling the
promise at the time the armistice
was signed. The failure to make
an honest and just treaty and the
shameless delay in adjusting the
differences of nations is the cause
Of much of the trouble that is to-
day drenching great areas of Eu-
rope and Asia with blood, and the
end is not in sight.
The Peace Conference afforded
an opportunity for a glorious and
lating peace, the disarmament of
the world, absolute freedom of all
peoples, and the formation Of an
international government that
would preserve harmony forever.

During the war no effort was
made to continue the construction
but now that the war is over it is
desired to complete the original
plan of building a railroad to

application.
The applicant does not desire
any hearing, unless it is SO desired
by the Commission as the appli-
can't feels that from the showing
made that this construction was
begun prior to the passage of the
above act and that part of the
construction has already been
completed and the road in opera

AGRICULTURAL NOTES
INTENDED for last week.


The Star Cooperative Shipping
Association will begin shipping
potatoes next Tuesday June 22nd.
All members and others should
get their potatoes to the grader
the first two days as the market
is liable to go down after a few
more days. Potatoes are bringing
around $500 per bushel net this
week.
The wool market is off at pres
ent and l would advise all par
ties having wool to hold it off the
market for at least thirty days
yet. It certainly will not be much
cheaper and there is reason to
believe that the market will be
lots better later on in the year.
In my opinion the corn and food
crops will be shorter this, year
than last year, and this should
remind us that there is still time
to plant corn. The Poor Land,
Big june or ordinary prolific will
make good corn planted up until
the first week in July. In plant
ing late corn better yield will be
obtained if the land is throughly

One hundred daily newspaper
publishers throughout the coun-
try have combined in the organi-
zation of a cooperative buying
concern in order to insure an ade-
quate supply of paper. The organ
ization is incorporated under the
laws of the state of Delaware as
the Publishers Corporation for
the acquisition of print paper and
paper mills. Now if the small dali
lies and the weeklies will get to-
gether for the same purpose they
will accomplish something that
will be as powerful for their bene-
fit as the daily organization will
be for theirs. The time is coming
when paper made from wood pulp
will be a scarce article, and it will
be we'll to look around and see
where an adequate supply of raw
material may be obtained. The
logical source of supply now seems
to be in the corn fields.

prepared before planting. All
clods should BE mashed or cut and
the vegetation destroyed SO that
the young plants will have
nothing to handicap an early
growth.
Hog cholera has not destroyed
one fifth as many hogs in Rankin
county this year as were destroy
ed last year. This has been
brought about by inoculating with
anti-cholera serum. When there
is an outbreak of cholera in a
herd, all dead hogs should be
burned and the remaining hogs
inoculated. There is no doubt
about the treatment immunizing
when properly given and good Sc
rum and virus is used. The loss
last year from hog cholera in the
United States was something like
$70,OOO,O0O. This loss can be AL
most entirely prevented if the
farmers and stockmen will only
use the methods Of prevention
that they have access to.
Do you realize that you are
making money every time that you
dip your cattle? You not only
make money for yourelf, but for
the coming generation of farmers
by graduating the tick and max
ing stock raising safer and more
desirable. We should all take the
broader view of the situation
and cooperate in making the most
of the opportunity given by the
county and government.
Increase your food crop by put
ting out just twice as many pota-
to plants as you expected to.

RUSSIANS COMING TO AMER
ICA.

Reports are reaching us that the
foreign sections of the city of
Constantinople are crowded with
Russians who want to go to Amer
lea. There are about $4,000 of
them in the city, most Of whom
are longing for the time when re-
strictions will be removed to ena-
BILE them to make the voyage to the
land of plenty. Many have rela-
tives here, or say they have, but
thanks to our restrictive laws, the
doors of America are closed to
them, unless they can prove be
yond a doubt, that they are not
Bolshevists and will not become
public charges in the United
States. :@,1;
Among this horde of refugees
there are many singers and dane
ers, and artists of various de-
grees of perfection and qualifica-
tions, who want to go to New
York. All these are denied pass
ports unless they can show con-
tracts with some reputable mana
gers.
This country does not need that
horde of would-be American citi-
zens. Nor does Mississippi want
the $4,000 Mennonites from Cana
da, whom Gov. Russell has as
sured would receive hearty well
come in this state. We have
enough of that variety already,
and don't want any more, regard
less of the Governors wishes in
the matter. In fact we have far
too many to assimilate them with
ease into our body polite. They
have come co fast that they seq
regrate into communities, speak
ing their own language, and hold
themselves from Americans and
American institutions, and in most
cases live their lives as they lived
them in their native land, with
their ideals wholly foreign, their
customs foreign, and, because of
their lack of knowledge of things
American, their ideas wholly a.
gainst the government that offers
them an asylum and it's protection.
They are easily swayed by pas
sionate speakers, who can address
them in their own language, and
they become members of organiza-
tions that are foreign to Ameri-
canism and opposed to good gov
eminent, and for that reason we
do not want the Russians nor the
Mennonites, and we certainly do
not need them.
Before this country has passed
through the reconstruction pc
Rod, which is an essential after
math of the great war, during
which our industries and our COM
merclal interests will suffer and
our mills close down, we shall
have our hands full in adjusting
our economies to the changing
conditions. During this period
that we may have more or
less trouble with our foreign ele-
ment. They do not understand
our conditions, and they cannot
easily be made to comprehend
them, especially while communist
agitators are working upon them,
and, therefore, wisdom demands
that we admit as few as possible
until we have put our country into
a condition that will permit us to
receive them with a reasonable
degree of safety. In any event,
now or hereafter, we do not want

LEAGUE OF NATIONS NECES.
SARY.


ference confirmed the fact that a.
League of Nations, or central
international government, is nee
essary to insure the peace Of the
world.
Secret treaties had tied up the
nations in a tangle of perfidity
that was shame and disgrace to
humanity. National leaders had
plotted for the undoing of other
nations, and had carried ON their
contemplate work without the
knowledge of their people. They
traded away the territory of other
nations, the delivery of which de-
pended upon the fortunes of war.
They gambled in the blood of their
subjects for the balance of power,
and in secret alliance mortgaged
and sold millions of people who
had no knowledge or suspicion of
the deals that had been made.
Great Britain, France, Italy and
Russia bonded German-held Chi
nese territory to Japan for a con-
tingency. England, France and
Russia pledged the coast Of the
Adriatic to Italy for support in
the war, and neither party to the
deal owned a foot of the soil they
had pledged to deliver upon the
signing of peace. England and Ja-
pan traded the German islands
without consulting the inhabi-
tants. The list is long and shame
full, and the contracts might have
been executed in full had the all
lies won the war unaided; but
Germany, in her plan to starve
England, undertook a campaign of
piracy that infringed upon the
rights of neutral nations and soon
brought the United States into the
field to defend her honor, her
rights to the freedom of the seas
and the lives and property of her
citizens.
The United States went into the
war upon the basic principle of
international justice, as embod-
led in President Wilson's fourteen
points, which meant that Ameri-
can rights must not be disregard
ed, upon land or sea-; that our ma
tional honor would be maintained
at ny cost, and that independence
and self-determination was the in
alienable right of every nation
and every people.
America declared her pfinci-
Piles, which were accepted by the
allies, and American soldiers be-
came part of a great ,interna-
tional army, fighting for the a
vowed principles of humanity, JUS
tice, freedom and democracy, and
the overthrow of that Teutonic au-
tocracy that had cursed the world
for centuries.
The allied nations agreed to the
principles laid down by the United
States and adopted them aus the
active principles of both war and
peace, and in that adoption
pledged themselves to square
and honest deal, and it was not
until the war had been won by the
help of America, and the mutual
plan of settlement put into action,
that America discovered that she
was in questionable company;
that intrigue and the clandestine
agreements of the nations nulli-
fed agreements made at the peace
table, and hence no real progress
was made along the lines of world
disarmament and universal recog-
milton of the rights Of men.
The armistice was considered as
an agreement to accept the princi-
Piles upon which the war had been
fought in good faith and that the
representatives of the nations
would go into the conference with
clean states; but such was not to
