THE AMERICAN LEGION.

The American Legion, COM
posed of men who served in the
late war, and which has estab-
lished posts in practically every
community in the United States,
is one Of the important factors in
the great work Of reconstruction
and readjustment entailed by
the war, whose potentialities of
service are practically unlimited
in every domain of it's ~endeavors,
and these embrace the whole
field Of social, economic and po-
litical activity.
The animating motive of this
organization is to inspire and
foster the spirit of Americanism
as a dominant influence in the
conduct of it's affairs, quicken
ing and vitalizing the whole so
cial and civic body for its best
development and enduring safe
ty and security-to meet and re-
pei the baleful alien influences
whose insidious spread, today, sc
seriously menaces the integrity
IF American institutions every
where.
That is a big job and a very
essential one that can be proper
ly performed only by a nation
wide organization, like this, in
spired by a patriotic motive OF
service and guided by men OF
vision as we'll as of courage and
resolution.
America supremacy needs the
service that such an organiza,
ton, alone, can perform, and il
is gratifying to observe that its
value and usefulness are daily
gaining a wider recognition fol-
the strengthening of it's influ'
ence in every community. W.
must keep the fires of Ameri'
canism, which is but another
name for patriotism, burning
lest we be overwhelmed by the
miasma of incipent anarchism
whose vapors are rising all round
us, in greater volume, every day
And what could be finer than
the spectacle of these men CT
war service thus periodically en-
listing in this no less valiant ser
vice of peace.-Bolivar CONNER

SOMETHING TO BLOW
ABOUT.

In a recent issue of the "Man-
ufacturers' Record" of Balti-
more, a recognized national au-
thority, said:
"Three-fifths of the coastline
of the country is in the South; a
quarter of the Nations coal res
erve is here, a third of it's iron
ore reserve and seven-tenths of
it's forested area.
"It is estimated that our coal
reserve is about $780, OO, 600, 900
tons which is more than in all
Europe, six times more than in
Great Britain. We produce prac-
tically all Americas cotton, half
of the lumber of the country,
while Southern waterpower
equals 100000 horsepower.
Last year property subject to
taxation in the South was ST.
687, 900, 900 or $500, 900, 600
more than the entire assessed
valuation of all property in the
United States in $780,"
In addition to the varied min
eral resources the South produ-
,ces approximately the following
percentages of the staples nam
ed, as compared with the entire
production in the United States
Cane sugar, 100 per cent.
Peanuts, 100 per cent.
Sweet potatoes, 80 per cent.
Rice, 80 per cent.
Spring vegetables, 80 per cent.
Grain sorghum, 60 per cent.
Peaches As per cent.
Chickens and other fowl, As
per cent.
Citrus fruits, 35 per cent.
Eggs, 33 per cent.
Apples, 80 per cent.
Butter, 25 per cent.
Sugar, rs per cent.
Milk, "a per cent.
Wheat, 20 per cent.
White potatoes, Is per cent.
Hay, Is per cent.
The South has about 40 per
ent of the country's swine; 35
yer cent of it's cattle; 80 per cent
f it's mich cows, and II per
ent of it's sheep.

GRANT N HOOVER.

General Grant is an interest
ing case of a President who did
not definitely ally himself with
the party electing him to that
Office until after he received the
nomination. His Personal Mem
oirs" show that he did not vote
the Republican ticket until 1863
when, at the age of 46 years, he
voted for himself for President.
Previously he had been a Wing,
then a Know-Nothing, then a
Democrat. He writes that he
thought little about "politics"
during his earlier career, altho-
ugh he was "a Wing by educa-
ton and was known as IAN ar
my officer of Wing proclivities."
The Wing party, however, was
practically dead and when most
Of his neighbors became Know
Nothings "a party that lived on
ly about five years. he accepted
an invitation to join a lodge OF
that political faith. In 1866
Grant voted for Buchanan, the
Democratic candidate, because
he believed that the election of a
Republican President would
mean the secession of all the
Southern States. He "preferred
the success of a candidate whose
election would prevent or post

country plunged into war the

tell
In 1860 Grant was unable tC
vote because OF change of resi-
dence, but he writes: "Iy pied.
ges would have compelled me tt
vote for Stephen A. Dougla:
free Soil Democrat,) who has
no possible chance of election
Presumably Grant was too busy
fighting to be able to vote il
1864. At all events it is an es
tablished fact that he did not
vote the Republican ticket unit
he was the Republican candidate
in 1868. If the Democrats should
nominate Mr. Hoover for Presi

precedent, it is obvious that tn;
case of General Grant would am

THE VALUE OF THE /. /. & c
TO THE SCHOOLS.

One of the most prominent ed
ucators in the State of MISSISSIPPI
pi recently said, ''The schools of
Mississippi could not run with
out the l l and c. Girls" To get
the idea as to how nearly true
this is, the Faculty Club of the
l. l. q c., sent out since the holi-
days questionnaires to 16O of the
public schools of Mississippi. The
schools that were asked to send
this information, were of MANY
types, Agricultural High School,
Consolidated County Schools and
many town schools. Sixty sent
in the information requested,
giving the names of former I. |.
& G. students and the subjects
taught. In the schools there are
23O former |. l. and c.. students
teaching.
For example, Meridian schools
have twenty-three former l. l.
and G.. students as teachers
Hattiesburg has thirteen; Char
lesion six; Greenville, eleven /;
Clay County Agricultural High
School at Pheba, 1. l. and c., this

A NEW 'VEHICLE."

Are all the Federal prohibition
agents really acquainted with
the law they r expected to en-
force? This question is sugges-
ted by the story from Chicago
of Charles N. Thomas, the bank
president who produced a flask
from his trousers pocket in a
restaurant and was arrested on
the ground that the law prohib-
its the transportation of intoXi-
cants in any "vehicle, team or
automobile, air or water craft
1t was held that Mr.. Thomas
trousers had served as a "vehi-
Gle" for the transportation of~li-
quor in the meaning of the law
and the garment was therefore
subject to confiscation. At the
hearing next day Mr.. Thomas
said he was quite willing to
have trousers confiscated as q
"~vehicle," inasmuch as he could
afford to buy "a new pair of
pants"
This, however, did not settle
the matter, the head of the En-.
forcement Bureau ordering the
offending bank president held or
a charge of violating still anoth.

"THE GREATEST QUESTION"


When D. w. Grifith's latest: pro-
duction, 1.-THE Greatest Question" a
photoplay of unseen forces, is shown
on the screen of the Rex theatre COM
mencing Saturday, it will mark the
achievement Of one of the greatest
and most significant landmarks in the
history Of the silent drama.
UnQuestionably the most startling
feature of this production Is Griffith's s
daring decision to buildsa photoplay
about the most awesome question
within the human imagination-the
question of a Hereafter and Heaven.
This element of Occultism has been
too daring a problem for 6hose: pro-
Tossing a knowledge of this question
of mysticism, but Griffith goes on
record with a point blank answer.
The delineation of the delicate sub
ject of this picture was entrusted to
Griffiths' tried and tested players.
The part of Nellie Jarvis, the orphan
ed Kentucky child, is taken by Lillian
Gish, whose name has long been
linked with Griffith productions.
Robert Harron, who plays the role
Of a country boy lover, has won pro-
nounced success through his depic-
tion of parts Of like nature - L
