Heavy Storm Of Rain Monday.

Every electric light in the city of
New Orleans was out and street car
service paralyzed by the storm of
Monday that reached the city about
2 p. m. Many business houses were
forced to close down. Hundreds of
telephones were put out of commits
sion. Considerable damage was done
in stores.
The temperature dropped more
than twelve degrees yesterday and
everybody felt "a coolness'' toward
the weather man as they went about
in furs and overcoats and other warm
wraps. The old saying that ODE
cember's as pleasant as May" is being
turned about as everything else is in
this reconstruction time and we feel
constrained to say Mays as unpleas-
ant as December this year of our
Lord. The rain was general over
Mississippi and among the severest

Ell. There can be no doubt but that
this is a gambling device, If the ma
chine Is so operated.
1T must be kept in mind, how
ever that every so-called slot ma
chine, or vending machine, is noe ne
cessarily gambling device. There
are certain slot machines, the oper-
alton of which involves the taking
of no chances Of gain or loss.
THE question as to what slot ma
chimes are gambling devices has new
or been decided by our Supreme
Court. However, that question has
benn passed upon by numerous courts
in other states Of the union, and 1t
seems to be generally prevailing doc
trine of the majority of the state
courts, that all slot machines are
gambling devices where the return to
the player is dependent upon an ele-
ment of chance; and this is true, even
though the player is assured og his
moneys worth Of some commodity,
and hence cannot lose"
In conclusion the attorney general
states that parties owning and oper-
ating slot machines that are gambling
devices are subject to Indictment and
prosecution, and is subject to seizure
by the sheriff, constable or police Of
ficer.

GOVERNOR RETURNS.
Governor Russell returned this
morning from New York and Wash
ington, wheer he has been for near
ly week with Chancellor Powers of
the university on some educational
fund mission, but states that he is
not quite ready to. make public the
object Of their long journey, though
he feels confident they are going to
get what they went after in due
course of time. He stated that as
soon as he was made thoroughly ac-

ment and appeal to the people Of the
state for assistance for the sufferers.
He hopes to do this by tomorrow,
Sunday, thus supplementing what

An. Open Letter.
BrOOkhaven, Miss, April 27, 1920.

As Chairman of the Fair Price Commit
tee for Lincoln County, wish to state to the
public, that have examined very carefully
every complaint that has been presented to-
the Committee and also investigated into the
margins of profit as charged by the Retail
stores and shops in the City of BroOkhaven,
and fail to find in any instance where it
could be charged that the prices were lex-
hOrbitant, or that any of the Retailers were
prOfteering.
do find that the constantly increasing
prices which the Retail Merchants are COM
PEELED to pay in replacing items of merchan-
disc closed out, Of every description, is re-
ducing their per centage of profit very ma
terially, and many items to my personal
knowledge are being sold at a less margin Of
profit than is allowed by the State Fair Price
Commissioner in his recent bulletin govern
ing retail sales prices.
have been rendered every courtesy by
the Retail Merchants i'm my investigations,
and have also received their hearty support
in performing the duties imposed upon me by
the State Fair Price Commissioner, and in
spirit Of fairness to them Tissue this state
ment.
Respectfully submitted,

DEW HAS WHALING EFFECT
Abundant Proof That u Possesses In
MIGRATING Action That Affects
Growth Of Plants.

Dew Is vitalizing, not entirely be-
cause II is water but because It poo
seeses an inyigorating action due part
~ at any rate to the fact that II is
saturated with oxygen, and It has been
stated that during It's formation per
oxide of hydrogen and some ozone are
developed. 1t is not improbable that
the peculiarly attractive and refresh
Ing quality that marks the early-mOrn-
Ing air has its origin In this way. The
difficulty of inducing grass to flourish
under tree In full leaf is well known
and is generally explained by saying
that the tree absorbs the nourishing
constituents of the soil or that 1t keeps
the sunlight away from the grass and
protects 1t from rain. It is doubtful
whether any Of these explanations Is
true, the real reason most probably
being that the vitallzing dew cannot
form upon the grass under u tree,
whereas as rule both rain and Light
can reach It.

MORALE AIDED BY MUSIC

"Music makes morale" and so
promptly music was enlisted in the
war. Song leaders were appointed at
all the training camps and immedl-
ately the glory Of real music was
spread before the millions Of men
as reinforcement and aid to the
ideallsm which had brought them into
the war.
From then on the soldiers had mu-
sic individually, in masses. In groups.
They made It themselves, II was made
for them by our finest artists. They
had monographs. They had records
by the million. The process OF musi-
cal education was swift. and the pu-
pills were apt. Now they have return
ed to us men who know good music
as large part of their life and en-
tertalnment. have become reasonably
apt performers themselves In a great
many cases. What must this mean to
the country II must mean that the
