San Francisco, June 24.-Presi-
dent Wilson considers 1t unneces-
sary for the Democratic platform
to contain any reference to the pro-
hibition question or to independ-
ence for Ireland, he informed those
who speak for him at the Demo-
cratic convention here, it was
learned here today.
,As to the League Of Nations, the
president will be satisfied with
nothing less than . strong affirma-
tive declaration for immediate ra.i-
fication OF the covenant without
Gripping reservations.
Senator Carter Glass Of Virginia
who 10 Sisted to Lead the resoiu-
tions committee that will write the
Democratic platform. today de-
clared that he did not bear draft
Of 4 platform written at the White
House, but added that he knew the
presidents mind about what he
would like to see the Democrats
do.
Withhelds Views.
Glass declined to reveal any ink
ling of what the president told him
in q conference at the White House
Just before Glass went to his train.
He said, however, that the presi-
dent had not changed his position
on the league issue in the slightest.
"The only platform draft l have
brought with me-" said Glass, lis
the Virginia platform which the
president formally approved In q
letter to me-"
The Virginia platform is silent
upon both the prohibition and
Irish questions which with the
league form the chief sources of
trouble for the platform builders.
Glass, expressing his personal
view on the prohibition question.
said that 1t is settled, hence need
not be referred to. As to Irish in
dependence. he said, Virginia
Democrats had enough troubles Of
their own to attend to-"
His Opinion Of Bryan.
will Bryan In your opinion be
able to cause trouble over the plat
form!" Glass was asked.
'Mr. Bryan has the reputation for
successfully kicking up trouble,
hasn't he?" was the reply.
Absurd" said Glass, when
asked to comment on . statement
published here that President Will
son would demand that the Demo-
Gratis nominate him as a vindica-
ton Of his policies and administra-
ton and would then decline the
nomination.
''The president is mot In the busi-
ness Of demanding nominations"
said Glass. II do not mean to say
1t 10 absurd that the party should
nominate him. but it certinly Is to
say that he has demanded it,

gave the impression that he -
strongly for McAdoo. Whether in
this he reflects the presidents
view could not be learned, but Gloss
does not regard McAdoo as out Of
the race merely because he has
withdrawn his name.
When told that the Palmer forces
were claiming McAdoo's strength

tic remark:

G. L. Davis Attends Of To National
Association.

Mr.. C. l.. Davis, "the music man
of Mississippi" left Thursday for
New York where he goes as national
committee man from Mississippi to
attend the National Association of
Music Merchants. Mr.. Davis expects
to stop off in Washington City en-
route and spend Saturday and Sun
day there. The New York conven-
ton assemblies Feb. 2, and will re-
main in session throughout next
week. No doubt some very import
ant matters will be considered at the
convention which will likely be at
tended by something like 1000 del
egates. Grenada enjoys the distinc-
tion Of having the Mississippi commit
teeman located in her midst and Mr..
Davis friends not only wish that he
may learn much that will make his al
ready prosperous and growing busi-
ness more prosperous, but that he may
have a most enjoyable trip.

Circuit Clerk Barnes received an
order last Saturday from Judge T. L.
Lamb saying that owing to the fact
that the County Health officer had
advised him that there was small pox
in the county that he thought it best
to pretermiet the term of the court
that was to have begun last Monday.
Sheriff Beck used the phone wherever
he could to notify those who had been
summonsed to the court. Perhaps it
is well that the term was pretermit-
ted for the reason that the roads are
so bad and the river has been out of
it's banks so it would have been rath-
er trying for many to have reached
Grenada. Judge Lamb made no men,
ton of when he would call special
term but he no doubt will as there
are four prisoners in Jail and several
out on bond who are charged with
felonies

Window Ventilators to Use in Cold
Weather.

Nobody likes to sleep in a draught,
yet in many apartment house bed
rooms where there is only one win
dow, and that near the head of the
bed, one must chosse between no
fresh air at ali, on winter night, or
a gale of ely wind sweeping across
ones anatomy If the window is op-
ened at the top, the shade flaps and
rattles all night and that is more
nerve racking and sleep preventing
for some people than loose, rattling
window sashes or a slamming door.
Window ventilators of the extern
ton type and measuring from nine to
fifteen inches high are procurable in
most house furnishing departments
and cost only about SO cents each.
They fit into the space below the
pushed-up sash and allows fresh air
to enter while keeping out strong
draught. You can make very good
window ventilators at home by tack
ing coarse cheese cloth over ordinary
window screens and these ventilators
are of course not very slightly
affairs-may be kept in a closet dur
ing the day and only put up at night
In one way they are even better than
the regular ventilators bought in the
shops because the sash can be left at
any height, back of the cheesecloth
screen, according to the temperature
out doors and the amount Of wind
that is Observation-Disclosures Oregon

PRISON BOARD MAKES
LEGISLATIVE REPORT
Body Favorable to Plan For Sale Of
Three of Convict Farms.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 26, 1920.--In
compliance with the provisions of the
concurrent resolution introduced by
Mr.. Stone Of Washington, the prison
board of trustees today submitted to
the legislature lengthy statement
showing financial operations at the
various convict farms from 1916 to
1919, inclusive.
The purpose Of the legislature in
asking for this information is to de-
termine whether or not it is desira-
BILE to sell the Oakley, Belmont and
Rankin places, as provided in bills
now pending, and which has been
recommended by both the outgoing
and incoming Governors.
While offering no urgent recon-
mendation, the prison board is also
inclined to the opinion that these
farms should be disposed of, and the
statistics submitted indicate that they
have been operated with little or no
profit to the state since 1915. In
fact, in several seasons they have
shown losses.
The inventory submitted by the
prison board places valuations on the
several farms as follows:
Sunfower plantation 1879 acres
at $50 per acre, $2,368,350.
O'Keefe plantation, 5000 acres at
800 per acre; $450,000.
Rankin plantation, 3,216 acres at
$50 per acre, $96,48O.
Belmont plantation, zoos acres at
$40 per acre, $140,350.
Oakley plantation, 2,74O acres at
$50 per acre, $4,000.
The report adds that if it is mat
ter of choice between selling the Oak
ley and Rankin places, the latter
should be retained by the state.

Cotton Taxes and Pensions.

Congressman Hef1in, of Alabama,
has introduced bill in Congress for
"the disposition of the proceeds OF
the illegal cotton taxes"
BY an internal revenue act of July
Il, 1862, tax of half cent a pound
was put on all the cotton in this
country. When the war ended the
government, by act of July Is, 1866,
Increased the tax to three cents, be-
ing then in a position to collect it
more easily in the South.
Until the law was repealed $685.
IO72,3SS.99 was collected from the tax
and for fifty years the South has been
trying to get back her portion Of the
sum. Georgia wants over $11 1,O0O,-
900. Alabama over $10,00O,00O, and
Louisiana $10,O98,501. But some OF
the money is also due to Northern.
Eastern and Western states, some
S168,OOO for instance being due to
Vermont.
One of the provisions of the bill
says:
''That said cotton tax fund when
paid over to the states entitled there
LV-lIldC ID dllCI iuuAS1uOoA NAsSAAAAo
have been lawfully settled, shall be
used in these states as a good roads
fund to build up the public highways
and as fund for pensioning ex-Con-
federate soldiers, and shall be diyid-
ed and distributed for these two pur-
poses as the state may determine"
The New York Sun thinks this is
an impossible provision. It wants to
know what would become of the mon
ey in a state like Vermont, where
there might be no former Confeder-
ates to pension.
The question is easily answered.
There isn't anything in Mr.. Hefiin's
provision to prevent the state from
devoting the whole sum it receives to
good roads.-N. o. Daily States.

Fidelis and Berean Social.

On last Friday evening the Fidelis
class of the First Baptist Church
elaborately entertained the Berean
class Of that congregation lin the
hospitable home of Mrs. j. B. Perry.
A more wholesome and enjoyable
evening could hardly be imagined.
There was large number present
and everyone entered heartily into the
spirit of the occasion. Miss Eliza
beth Pressgrove who is president of
the class was mistress Of ceremonies,
assisted by other members of the
class, and most beautifully discharg-
ed the courtesies of the evening.
The entertainment took the form of
leap-year party and after many
unique games etc. were enjoyed, de-
licious refreshments were served in
a. most lovely manner by the charm
ing hostess assisted by her attractive
guest, Miss Mary Hall.
At the close of the evening that
band of young people were Of the
opinion that to be genuinely social
is to be religious.
Mrs. Bertha Ellis the popular
teacher of the Berean class graced the
occasion and gave every expression
of interest and pride in the most
splendid work being done by these
two large and rapidly growing classes.
Mr.. J. B. Perry, the most versatile
teacher of the Fidelis class proves
himself great advocate of social
enjoyment as we'll as of religious eff
ficiency. Under his leadership the
class is constantly increasing in ef-
ficient activity.
