OF our government as some mystic

Therefore, we should zee to il

The last issue of this paper con-
tanned the formal Involvement
of Hon. VIM. P. Striblin9 of Col
umbus. Lowndes County for Con
gress. That paper promised a
more extended mention of his
candidacy this week, which for
want of data we could not give
last week. Mr.. Stribling is a nat
i've Mississippian of this Congress
sional District and has been act
lively engaged in the practice OF
law for The past twenty four years.
He was elected to the State
Senate from Lowndes county
and served from 1916 to 1920, &C
curing legislative experience
and achieving for the benefit OF
his state and county.
He is a Democrat of the Jef.
fersonian and Jacksonian school
and believes in the things pro-
mulgated and advocated by those
illustriouS statesmen, which mean
safe. sane and economical admin
iSiration of the affairs of this ma
ton, and which being interpre-
ted is a rule of the people, by
the people and for the people. ("
He is a member of the church
and a member of several frater-
nal orders and, also, a man of
family. but is not a rich one,
which in no manner disQualifies
him from making an efficient
public servant.
Mr.. Stribling desires that the
voters learn something of his fit
ness TO represent them in Con-
gress before he meets them in
the campaign so they may Judge
him fairly and impartialIy along
with the policies and principles
he will advocate on the hustings.
A statement of what these
are can be approximately arrived
at by reading the following which
is reproduced from the Starkyille
News of recent date:
Senator William p. Stribling of
Columbus. Lowdnes County began
his active campaign for congress at
the opening of the circuit court at
Starkyille last Monday. and the
News carries Mr.. Stribling's formal
announcement in this issue.
Mr. Stribling. at any rate is one
candidate whose position on the
most vital questions today confront
ing the American people is distinct,
well defined and unequivocai. He
does not quibble and beat around
the bushes of doubt and uncertain
~; his views are pronounced, and he
does not lack the courage to
express them. He speaks with
conviction, and nanifests q SINGER
ity of purpose pleasing to observe
in one seeking political prelsfment.

go into detail or elaborate Discus

Garden seeds for Polish orphans,
milk for anaemic Greek babies, car
penters' tools for Czecho- Slovakian
cripples-these are only a few Of the
gifts that young Americans are send
ing to the war-crushed children Of the
Old World.
Through the Junior Red Gross the
boys and girls Of the United States
are giving a fresh start in Life to little
war orphans scattered all over Europe.
They have set up orphans homes In
France, school colonies In Belgium and
Montenegro, and day schools In Al
bania.
They are sending dozens Of young
Syrians, Montenegrins, and Albanians
to American colleges in Constantinople
and Beirut, and maintaining more than
q hundred orphans of French soldiers
at colleges and trade schools. In or
phanages and farm schools up and
down the peninsula Of Italy there are
nearly 500 wards Of American Juniors
Last winter a thousand French chill
dren from the inadequate shelters OF
the devasted regions were sent by the
Junior Red Gross to spend the cold

AMFt..oAN RED CROSS
TO GIVE RURAL HELP
Program for Public Health and
Community Welfare Is Now
Well Under Way.

Rural communities and towns Of less
than 5000 population benefit In very
large part by the public health and
community welfare work Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. Almost all Of the
5000 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections In their territory. There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
Briefly, the purpose Of Rural Serv-
Ice Is to assist people to get out Of life
more health. wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public health instruction
and general educational progress of
both children and adults play a big
part.
Recreation is found 10 be one Of the
biggest needs In rural life. There In
lack Of sufficient play-life for the chill
dren and social life for the adults.
Pcnics, pageants, debating clubs.
baseball leagues, community singing
and other social events which bring
the people of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ried on under the guidance Of Red
Cross rural workers to great advan-
tage. In many instances solving rec
reational problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
Of the community to other conditions
which may be improved by united
action.
Az result of community organiza-
ton, townships In which there had
been neither plans nor interest In
community progress have been organ
lied to work together with the unified
purpose Of bringing their community
up to the most enlightened standards.
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been started as a result
Of community meetings, as well as cir
culating libraries, Red Gross schools Of
instruction In Home Nursing, Care Of
the Sick and First Aid. In the larger
towns the need for restrooms and pub
lie comfort stations is being met Play
grounds for the children have been
established and recreational activities
worked out for the year.
In order that there may be concerted
effort In carrying on the programs of
the various welfare agencies In the
rural districts, Red Cross Rural Serv-
Ice helps the organizations already on
the ground. The main object Of the
service Is to lend a hand everywhere
and take the lead only where neces-
sary.

growing upon the evergreens,
when we are blithely going to
work in limousines. Where
once the guilders trickled, they
now in: rivers shine; how many
have you picked, how many are
in brine? The times, so brisk

now; and moneys been so easy
we fed it to the COW; and I am
not predicting a dreadful time
to come, or drearily inflicting a
preachment out of plumb. But
if you wake tomorrow and find
the boom is dead, will you be
forced to borrow before the
week is sped? For months you
have been tickled, the dollars
came so swift; how many have
you picked because of Unborn
thrift. How many have you
carried to some safe bankers
vault, while foolish spendthrifts
tarried with grape juice and near
malt? 1t is a time enchanted,
when rubles grow like weeds !;
how many have you planted, how
many helpful seeds?

MORE POLICE ASKED
BY D. c. CITIZENS
Resolution Calls for Enforce
ment of Traffic Laws
Here.

Declaring that traffic conditions in
the downtown section of this city
were intolerable, the Central Citi-
night in the Juvenile Court building,
adopted a resolution urging that suf-
ficient policemen be detailed properly
to enforce the traffic laws of Wash
ington.
Members of the association stated
that at present the police had no
gay to convict a man for parking
over the time limit except by marking
down the time he parked and the
time be left. With only small num-
Der Of policemen. members said. this
was impossible. and consequently the
streets are cluttered up with cars
from early morning until late at
night.
Builders Complain.
Builders in the downtown section,
It was asserted. have trouble in get
ting material to their structures on
account of vehicles parked for an in
definite length of time in the way
of their trucks. The association be-
lieves that immediate action should
be taken in the matter. No fault was
found with the regulations as they
stand, but a rigid enforcement OF
those now in force is asked by MEM
bers.
Free education in Washington is
not free education. according to r. IL.
McMackin, who introduced a resolu-
zion calling for an appropriation from
Congress to provide books for the
FOOL children. New books are being
used in the schools each year. he said,
which makes heavy burden on the
child who has to be continually buy
ing them.
If the proposed appropriation should
be approved by the school board and
Congress, all books would be issued
gratis to the pupils. The delegates of
the association to the Federation of
Citizens Associations were instructed
to make a vigorous fight for legisla-
ton beneficial to the school children
along these lines.
Commissioners Invited.
Commissioners Mabel Boardman and
J. Thilman Hendrick will be- invited
