BY the Influx Of Oriental Goods Since

Commerce Officials.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21-Despite
the steady growth Of imports from
Japan since the signing Of the arm
istice, officials Of the Department Of
Commerce today declared that Amer
lean markets have been but little af-
fected BY the influx Of oriental goods,
Imports from Japan have increased
mainly III value rather than in guam

During the II months ending with
November 1919, the latest available

Hon. E. L. Mounger's
Interesting Address

The Thrift Week program on yes
terday was not only enjoyable but in
struetive. The talk by Mr.. Mounger
was full Of good reasons why every
family should own it's own home, not
merely that it was about as cheap
when all is told, in financial way,
but that it il great help toward
bringing up family Of children to be
the very best Of citizens. The gov
ernments, national and states, all rec
ognizing this in the laws giving ex-
emptions to great degree, to all
homes owned by the occupants. He
stressed the fact that all anarchists,
and other undesirable classes Of cit
liens, do not own homes. And he
might have added, do not own even
the home spirit. For where you find
the home spirit there will be the hap
py family, whether it be the million
aires near-palace, or the cottager's
simple place Of rest, a shelter from
the "slings and arrows of any out
rageous fortune, whether it be bust
ness worries, or unthoughted actions
Of friends, or any Of the many things
which make for unhappiness. Mr..
Love Of the Greenwood Bank and
Trust Co. will talk to us tomorrow on
Thrift in Industry. Mr.. Love, as
most of you know, has recently come
to make Greenwood his home. Let's |
o and give him q welcome as citizen
who is trying to do his part toward
a progressive Greenwood. The meet
ing will be at the Confederate Mem
orial Building at three o'clock. There

LOANS OR GIFTS
| FROM THE CHURCH
Building Fund Administered BY Sou
thern Baptist Convention Amounts
To Total OF sseo.ooo.

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 21-lSpecial)
During the past six months 200 Bap-
tist churches in the southern states
have received financial assistance to
the amount Of more than S5O0,000
either in the form Of loans or gifts
from the church building fund ad-
ninistered by the Southern Baptist
convention, according to announce
ment made from the headquarters of
1.-THE board in Atlanta. Of this sum
approximately 100000 was in the
form Of gifts and $12s,00O in loans.
This record far surpasses anything Of
The kind in the history Of the church
Extension department Of the board
and is expected to be exceeded during
the present year owing to the fact
that the church building fund has
been augmented by $1,000,O00 from
the $75,000,000 campaign, which came
10 successful close in December.
Remarkable progress has been made
by the church extension department
during the three years Of its exist
fence, according to facts submitted by
&Dr. B. D. Gray, corresponding secre-
Stary and executive head Of the board.
lat the time of the establishment of
1.-THE fund there were more than 1000
homeless congregations in the eigh-
teen states of the southern Baptist
lconvention. These churches were full
|ly organized and were served by pas
Il tors, but had no church building in
which toaworship. They used school
houses, vacant stores and buildings
and in some instances quarters form
|erly occupied by saloons under the
|"wet, regime There was one church
lin a southwestern states called the
First Baptist Groggery' due to the
fact that it occupied an abandoned
|barroom.
Cognizant Of the results achieved
|by the church extension department
|of the southern Methodists, the Bap-
lists established similar phase Of
activity and in three years have built
more than 700 churches by loans and
gifts.
More than 100000 has been loaned
iii this manner, without a single PEN
ny loss, according to DR.. Louis B.
Warren, superintendent OF this de-
partment of the board. Applications
are now on file for more than $1,000
900 and every effort is being made to
meet the majority Of these requests
during the present year. The general
policy is to reduce the number of
gifts and encourage loans, the board
taking che position that straight out
gifts tend to reduce the morale Of a
congregations. !

Bill To Bring Home
Remains of Soldiers

Congressman Paul B. Johnson, Of
this district, has introduced a joint
resolution which, if enacted, will en-
able relatives Of American soldiers
buried in France to have their bones
returned to the United States, if SO
desired. The text Of the resolution is
as follows:
Resolved by the Senate and House
Of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress as
sembled, that the President Of the I'm
tied States be, and is hereby author
lied and directed to proceed forth
with, when requested by the next of
kin, to exhume and transport to the
United States for interment in such
cemeteries or places as may be desig-
rated by next Of kin, the bodies of
all soldiers, sailors and marines now
buried in foreign countries, who gave
their lives in the late war in the ser
vice Of the United States or in the
service Of the Allies"
It is presumed that a companion
measure will be introduced and that,
in the event the johnson resolution
becomes effective, the expense Of dis
interment and transportation will be
borne by the Government.
The johnson resolution leaves it en-
tirely to the discretion Of relatives as
to whether the bodies Of their loved
ones are to remain in the hallowed
soil Of France or whether the remains
are to be returned to rest under the
sod Of their own native land. Laurel

tion, for the company has hardly got
beyond the prospective stage, we think.
DR.. Steinmetz has good reputation.
AS an inventor he has been great
success. If this proposition takes a
hold on the users of motor cars and
trucks. it will probably prove success
full. If it does not, wcll-therein lies
the speculation. New Haven debenture

investment, in our opinion. BY what

cism of the assembly from men promi-
nent in public life, who argue that
they are entitled to take their seats at
Albany. The assembly, however, stands
pat on its decision.
No matter how undesirable it may
be for socialists TO occupy seats in any
legislative body, the fact that they
are socialists should not prevent them
from sitting as representatives, so
long as they are duly qualified and
were properly elected. Yet, when men
subscribed to such platform as that
drawn up at the socialists convention
in st. Louis, Mo-, they cannot be quail
flied to sit in the legislative body
of the United States or of any state
in the Union. The mere fact that
they call themselves socialists, or were
elected by socialists, should not dis
qualify them. But if they were elect
ed as opponents of disloyality, their
places are not within legislative halls.

large for the next ten years will be bas
ed on returns from the fourteenth cen
sus, for by the census the most nearly
accurate data on the county's popula-
ton is procured.
By population statistics resulting
from the 1920 census, Idaho county
her cities and towns, will be known
during the ensuing decade. The fig
ures will go into every new atlas and
encyclopedia throughout the world.
Idaho county win be known to the
public of the United States and
abroad largely through the data com
piled from the census.
We who are residents of the county,
cannot afford to permit census emu
merators to fail to list every man, wo-
man and child in the county. While,
from the government s point of view,
the census enumerator must count
everyone, yet it behooves each person
to see that he or she is listed in
the government S counting of popula-
ton. We want our towns and our
county presented to the world in the
most favorable light. If Idaho coun-
ty actually has 1920 people within
her borders, we want that fact known
If the county has only 1888 peo-
pie, that, also, should be known, but
if 1920 persons actually were resi-
dents of the count on January l, last
and only 1883 are listed, such would
be unfair not only to ourselves,
but to the world at large. Padding
of census reports is deceptive and inn
prudent, but a conscientious effort to
include everyone within the county
in the listings is both proper and bust
ness-like.

ENTIRE NATION DRY

On January 16, the United States
becomes dry through constitutional
amendment. Manufacture and sale of
intoxicating liquors is prohibited by
the organic law of the nation. Ameri-
ca thus becomes the first great nation
to entirely suppress the liquor traf-
fic.
Beginning with local option, by
which townships, municipalities and
counties forbade traffic in liquor, the
prohibition movement has grown un-
til it now includes the entire nation in
the dry column.
Under local option, prohibition was
farce, as was it under statewide dry
laws, which were evaded by smuggling
of liquor from adjoining wet states
into the desert area, but now with
the federal constitution forbidding
manufacture and sale of intoxicants,
and with the machinery of the federal
government determined to enforce the
law, the way of the liquor deal
er in the future will indeed be diff
cult to travel. Technicalities by
which conviction could be avoided, so
prevalent in the past, now arc elimi-
mated, and no excuse can be found
for violation of the law.
1t is not improbable, that, after a
few years of bone-dry enforcement,
reaction will take place.

HELP IN THE CENSUS

Now that taking of the fourteenth
decennial census has finally begun, in
Idaho county, after a delay of two
weeks, it should go forward with such
rapidity as is possible, considering eli
matte and Typographical conditions
with which the enumerators are con
fronted.
The census is to be taken by a
house-to-house canvass of the county,
yet it is obvious that, in the short time
allowed for the enumeration, not every
person in Idaho county will be listed.

his name be included in the census.
