MccIS-IONn
 Garfield Jones. manager of the P Hutton Clothing store at Central square, returned from months trip to Wales, England, yesterday. Mr. Jones sailed to England on the steam ship New York" leaving New York August 21, arriving in South Hamp- ton, England, ten days later. From this port he went to Wales, where he has relatives and spent the greater part of his time.
 As regards living conditions, he said was by far more expensive in that country than it is here. Butter sells for four shillings and sixpence, which is about $1 a pound. There is no fear of an immediate coal chortage, not withstanding the miners strike that was scheduled to take place shortly after MT. Jones sailed away. It was selling at the rate of about SIP ton, which is very high. having jumped more than thrice, in a few years. The minimum rate in the coal mines for the workers is about four pounds and IS shillings a week, which averages about $17. These are the legal figures given by the government and the workers are guaranteed that sum. Clothing has also reached its highest prices and suits are selling for $35.
 The war has hit the people very hard and made great changes in them. Crippled soldiers are a common sight and the effects of the war are seen more there than in this country. Many of them have been disappointed in the remuneration promised by the gov ernment, he finds.
 The Bolshevik movement is very strong throughout the lower classes, especially illiterates among the ig- norant people. The Irish question is discussed very little. The country is, however, looking forward to the United States to broaden it's policy and much interest is being taken in the coming election. The majority is with the republican party and their backing is with Harding. They feel that the election will assist in stabil- izing the money market and aid the present rate of exchange. Labor is plentiful now and the majority of the factories arc engaged in the steel in dustry.
 While on the steamship, MT. Jones became acquainted with MT. Comoy. manufacturer of the famous Dunhill pipes. MT. Comoy was one of a mis- sion that had been sent from Paris to Vienna to report on the conditions existing there. In speaking of the conditions in Vienna, MT. Comoy said that 250.O00 people died during tho winter of 1919 after the armistica was signed. He cited an instance when they were dying so fast from hunger that persons could be seen webbing down the street and finally fall to the ground. They would be picked up and thrown into a door way to wait for a wagon to come around and get them.
 On the return trip MT. Jones left on tho Olympic. and reached New York

REMAINS OF MISS MARGARET
ELEANOR KERN WHO MADE
THE SUPREME SACRIFICE TO
REACH u. S. MAY PATH.

Mr.. John Erskine received yester.
day telegram that the body Of his
niece Miss Margaret Eleanor KERN
American Nurse Corps, would arrive
at Hoboken, NJ j., about May 24th
and would be sent at once to Green
wood for interment Miss KERN died
at the United States Base Hospital
No. So, on October 13, 1918, and her
body has been resting since in the
cemetery at Marine Hill, Winchester
England, where she was buried with
military honors. She was one Of the
brave girls who offered her services
for her country and made the supreme
sacrifice, but none who knew her dou-
bted for moment but that she made
this sacrifice willingly though life
was just beginning for her, being in
her early twenties,
Miss KERN was the daughter of DR..
W. L. KERN and Mrs. Mamie Erskine
KERN, and was born at Carrollton at
the home of her uncle, Mr.. John Frs
kline, and spent her childhood years at
his home in Leflore County. Her girl
hood was spent at Carrollton with her
grandmother Mrs. M. Erskine. She
entered the Winona Hospital to train
as nurse under DIR. Barksdale. When
he left for France, she finished her
training at jackson, Miss, and was
graduated in June 1918, and ordered
away shortly afterwards. Known and
beloved as she was in both Carroll and
Leflore County, all felt a thrill Of
pride in her heroic spirit when she left
for "the front" and when the news
came that she had given her life in
our service, every heart was touched,
but even in the deep grief felt, the
heart would throb almost to bursting
with the thought of her dauntless spir-
it and her sublime patriotism.
When the need arose, twenty-five
graduate nurses answered
summons of their country and gave
their help to one or another branch Of
the service, only few less than three
hundred were called upon to make the
supreme sacrifice. The account Of
the nurses during the war is that Of
heroes, and in the history of the war
the story of what they accomplished
will make glowing page Of which
will be made more brilliant by the rec
ord Of their GLORIOUS dead"
The details Of the funeral h8ve not
all yet been arranged, but the Amer
lean Legion Post here and at Carroll.

Baltimore and other cities more OF
less distant could come here over the
Sunday holiday to see the place.
Much criticism also is caused by the
fact that the pier at Mount Vernon is
privately owned, and only the vessels
of a certain excursion line may land
there, all others being denied the
right Of going to the place by water,
as there are no other landing places
near. As part of the government
ownership plan it is proposed that ap-
preparation be made for q proper
motor highway all the way from the
national capital to Mount Vernon.
Until training camp was estab-
.lished near Mount Vernon during the
war the greater part of the road to
that place was a poor route for ira
vel. Al concrete highway to the camp
partly remedied that evil, but the
last few miles Of the road are in poor
repair, and when the Prince Of Wales
was driven out there during his re-
cent visit to America, his royal
highness got shaking up that must
have been novel experience to him,
The foregoing facts are told and re-
told every time the question Of the
ownership Of Mount Vernon Is broach-
ed In Washington, and It is becoming
apparent that in time Congress must
decide the issue, when some very
pointed debates are certain to develop
