be booster
Boost your city, boost your friend,
Boost the lodge that you attend.
Boost the street on which you're
dwelling,
Boost the crowd that you are selling.
Boost the people round about you;
Possibly they can do without you:
But success will quicker find them
If they knew that you're behind thin.
Boost for every forward movement,
Boost for every new improvement,
Boost the stranger and the neighbor,
Boost the man for whom you labor.
Cease to be chronic knocker,
Cease to be a progress blocker;
And if you would have your home
town better,
Boost it, boost it to the final letter.

counted. This is necessary so that
the Mayor can have actual proof that
the former count was wrong. lie

TER RECOUNT FOR
THE CITY CENSUS
The 1920 Census report as Just Civ
out by the Federal department for
Water Valley places the city 206 less
number of citizens than in 1910.
There isn't citizen of the city but
who believes that there is something
radically wrong with the figures given
for 1920. Nearly every day people
complained to Mayor DeShon that
they had not been counted and in sew
eral instances whole families had been
reported as not counted.
The complaints becoming so numer-
Gus, Mayor DeShon has undertaken to
secure a recount for Water Valley.
and with the assistance and cooper
alton of all citizens he car secure a
recount and put Water Valley in the
class where the city rightfully be-
longs.
Following are the steps taken TO
date by the Mayor for the recount:
MAYORS OFFICE
Water Valley, Miss.
September 4th, 1920.
The Director of The Census,
Washington, D. C.
Dear SIR
| do not like to complain of
the census taken of the City of Water
Valley, Mississippi, but under the cir
cumseances I feel that it is our duty
to apply for recount of our citizens.
| am informed that we are given in
your rero and | feel sure
that we have much larger number
of people.
My reasons for saying this are as
follows:
First-The census of 1910 gave us
something over 1900, and since that
time many new houses have been e.
rected, and the corporate limits have
been extended on every side. By
this extension about seventy-five
houses were taken into the City in
addition to large number that were
built since the last census, There is
not q vacant house, in our City; and
there has not been one for the past
twelve months longer than few days
at time.
Second-It is well-known fact
that there is large number of fami-
lies that were omitted entirely. At
least no member of the family was
interviewed by the census enumerator
These facts can be substantiated
and the City authorities stand ready
to do all in their power in arriving at
a correct conclusion.
Representing the City, l therefore
make application for a recount of the
inhabitants of our City, and we stand
ready to comply with any require
ments of the Government to obtain it..
/ will appreciate reply to this let
ter by wire at my expense.
Yours truly,
F. B. DeSHON, Mayor.
In reply to the above letter from
Mayor DeShon, he received the fol-
lowing telegram
WASHINGTON, D. C.
September 10th, 1920.
F. B. DeShon, Mayor,
Water Valley, Miss.
Letter of Fourth received. Decrease

Housing situation may be explained
