The ministers Of Grenada are max
ing plans for the entertainment; OF
the Inter-church World conference of
North Mississippi which is to convene
in Grenada, Monday next, and be In
session perhaps three days.
A most cordial welcome IS promised
the visiting thurchmen and no little
interest is being manifested in the
meeting because from it many expect
to gather information about the sig-
nificance of the Inter Church World
movement that they do not now pos
sess. If there are any skeptical
about what the movement means or
where it will end, they will have a
chance to have their skepticisms con-
frmed or removed by attendance up
on the coming conference.
At meeting of the Ministerial AS
sociation of Grenada Thursday after
noon of last week final plans were
made for the entertainment of the
Inter-Church World Conference to be
held here next week, March 8th-10th.
To date more than hundred have
signifed their intention to be present
at these meetings. Most of this
number will be Protestant ministers
of the various denominations from
the northern half of Mississippi. A
smaller number of the leading work
ers in the Women's Organizations
will be in session at the same time, IN
the Methodist Church. The Confer
ence opens at P. M. Monday and
closes at p. NJ. Wednesday. The
public will be welcomed to these
meetings.
The program to be followed at the
conference is that the conference
proper shall convene at the afternoon
session Monday. The opening ad-
dress on the conditions of the world
today will be given after devotional
service Then will follow the presen-
tatioh by charts, maps and stereoptl-
car pictures of the results OF the
world SURVEY, and the addresses OF
foreign missionaries.

To The Fathers and Mothers Of Gre
NADIA County,
Come, let US reason together.
Lives there a father or mother in
the confines of Grenada County who
are rot deeply interested in the moraI
and physical welfare of their chill
Gren? Do you ever think of what
they may be when they come to be
"grown ups" and what sort Of citi-
|zens they may be, and as to whether
they may be- strong and healthy and
vigorous men and women, or sickly
and delicate, and physically unfit to
become fathers and mothers-and
drag out their lives in misery owing
to bodily defects which might have
been corrected in childhood?
Remember this: Hear, oh Faith
ers and Mothers of Grenada County.
Do you know that, in preparation for
the late World War, that forty out
of every hundred young men, who
were examined for service, were
turned down on account of some ply
sical defect which might have been
corrected in early childhood? Do
you know that three thousand Mis-
sissippians die every year with Tu-
berculosis, many of whom could have
been cured and saved to their fam
lilies had proper efforts been made for
early detection and treatment? Do
you know that in the month of De-
cember alone there were 5,763 cases
of malaria reported in the State of
Mississippi? Do you know that much
of this could have been prevented by
proper methods Of screening and
drainage and the observance of other
sanitary laws? Do you know that in
the month of December alone there
were reported in Mississippi 159 cases
Of Typhoid fever, all of which could
have been prevented by proper san
itary measures? Do you know that
right now there are numbers of chill
dren in Grenada County who have
either diseased tonsils and adenoids,
or defective eye sight, or defective

Father and Son
Banquet a Success
Seed Banquet That 1t l. Believed Will
of Fathers and Sons Of the Community Prin-
cipal Speaker, Hon. W. M Whtngton, Says Nothing Can

The father and son banquet given
at Masonic Hall last Friday night
under the auspices Of the Young
Mems Christian Association of Gre
NADIA and the Parent-Teachers Asso-
citation was a well planned and well
carried out affair. The community is
indebted to both Mr.. w. B. Caldwell,
who has charge Of the local Y. M.
c. A. work, and to the Parent-Teach-
ers' Association for what they had IN
mind in planning it and for what was
accomplished by the gathering at the
banquet.
These banquets are being had all
over the country and the fact that
this is true would seem to be prima
facia proof that something is needed
in this busy age to make father and
son see each other as they should.
Those on the program made splen-
did and exceedingly appropriate
talks. Mr.. Walter Crump, lad of
II, did himself exceptional credit and
what he said showed that he knew
his Dad" Young Mr.. Pattle also
made a happy response to his toast.
The speech of the evening was that
of Hon. w. M. Wilmington of Green
wood who was present by invitation to
respond to the toast, "Chums." Mr.
Wilmington is one of Mississippis
brainy young men and stands any
where and everywhere on those NOR
al planks which need no explaining
and for that mode of living which
draws it's inspiration from the Ser
mon on the Mount. Mr.. Whiting
ton said he endorsed the Y. M. c. A.
and every other organization which

Shipp, our most efficient State San
itary Inspector, together with the
State Board of Heath, have selected
Grenada County in which to put an
educational campaign for teaching
the people HOW TO KEEP WELL,
AND, THEREFORE, HAPPY. The
General Government, the County, and
the Red Cross are back of this
movement, with the money to pay for
the work. DR.. p. G. Pope, who comes
to. us highly recommended as Sani-
tarian,' together with Mrs. Tigrett,
an accomplished lady and we'll in
formed trained nurse, and Miss
Chamberlain, an efficient microscop-
ist and most excellent young lady,
will have charge of this work. Now,
what are they paid for and what are
they required to do?
They will be expected to visit ev-
cry home in the County, to make
health survey of every home; to make
an examination of every suspect per-
son in the County for Hookworyn;
see that every home is provided with
"a f1y-proof, sanitary -privy; free ty-
phoid vaccine for every one, ans
medical examination for every child

has for its aim the uplift and proper
direction Of humanity, but he said
that none of these could take over the
work that should and must be done in
the home if the future citizen was
what his Maker designed him. He
very properly deprecated the trend of
the present day away from the home
Mr.. Blake w. Godfrey was pres
ent and while he was not on the pro-
gram, yet he was called on by the
toastmaster at a late hour and said
some very amusing as well as many
good thins. Mr.. Godfrey is State
Secretary for the Y. M. C. A. and is
fearfully in earnest in his duties.
He is good talker anywhere.
Mr.. Cowles Horton presided as
toastmaster and what he said and
the manner of his saying it showed
that wise selection was made in as
siging him that important duty.
The ladies' of the Presbyterian
church did we'll their parts in serv-
ing the menu. There was an abund-
ance; it was we'll prepared and very
appetizing.
1t is believed that seed were sown
at the banquet which will show forth
in the lives of the boys and young
men present and help them to appre-
ciate more fully the great privilege
of living and what they owe their
Creator. Likewise it is believed that
influences were set in motion there
that will radiate out into the life OF
the whole community and arouse the
fathers to the seriousness of the
great and sacred duty of fatherhood.
The following was the program:

60 well in the lying-in room, that
"d--d doctor" is blamed for it
all.
Now, Fathers and Mothers of Gre
NADIA County, "sit up and take no
tice"! and let us come to the crux
of the whole matter
When the officials of our govern
ment, after examining our boys and
young men for the Army, and find
ing that forty out of every hundred
were unfit, owing to physical defects.
(which might have been corrected in
early childhood), they and the peo-
pie too stood appalled,, and the con-
clusion was that something had to
be done, or else in two or three more
generations we would be a nation OF
weaklings and invalids. The United
States Government places value of
$40, 100000 on every citizen Of this
country between the ages of Is and
e5 years, so far as their productive
copacity and tax paying ability IS
concerned. Now, can't you see and
realize that if something is not done,
beginning right now, that in the
course of fifty to seventy five years
our aims houses, blind asylums, deaf
and dumb asylums, and hospitals will
be filed far beyond our Imagination?
Now if something is not done, begin
ming NOW, who will be the sufferers?
Certainly our Nation will suffer un-
told loss. Certainly the homes Of
this country will suffer not only in
purse but in much added mourning
:pd sorrow, for the bread-winners,
Fathers and Mothers, will be defect
i've weaklings and n-producers.
Don't for one moment entertain the
idea that this is an overdrawn pic
ture. SOMETHING MUST BE
DONE! What shall it be?
The United States Government,
backed by the people, backed by the
Rockefeller Foundation, backed by
the State Board of Health, backed by
the Board of Supervisors and the Red
Cross Association are all interested
and behind this movement. DR..

decisions constituting any section OF
the Constitution or of anv statute
construed by the Court This work
requires much thought and skill and
is by no means sinecure. The law
yer, representing the litigants in the
courts, and advising the business in
terests of the State, and advising ev-
ery citizen of his legal rights, can
| then determine accurately what the
court has held in each particular case,
and the members of the legislature
will understand the legal effect OF
each statute construed by the court,
and can better determine when
change in the statute should be made.
AS a large number of the members of
the legislature, at each session, are
not lawyers, this service will result
in much good to the State. The plan
adopted in the bill is in force in 9TH
er States. Especially in Missouri and
Montana, which States have exactly
the same constitutional provisions as
we have, and the principle involved
has been passd upon in about twenty
States and have uniformly been held
constitutional. See, especially, Love
v. Baehr, AT California Report, 364;
County of San Luis Obispe, 1O4 Cal
ifornia Report, 60; 81 Pacific Report

other cases could be cited and quoted
from if space allowed. The Consti-
tuition fixes the duties of an office and
for these duties fixed compensation,
is given, but if public interest would
be served by having these officers
perform other duties, then there can
be no valid objection either in law
or morals to giving additional pay
for such additional duties, and no
principle of constitutional law is vlo-
lated in doing so. The Constitution
was not enacted for any such pur-
pose. It is no more illegal than it
would be for a school teacher to keep
books after school hours to increase
a meager salary, or for bookkeeper
to accept an addition to his salary
for clerking during his spare mo-
ments, or for sharecropper to milk
his landlords cows or feed his stock
for a little extra money.
Are the Additional Duties Neces-
sary or Valuable?
Certainty in the law is great pub
lie benefit. A citizen should know
his rights before going into law
suit if it is possible for him to learn
them. If he seeks legal advice his
LAWYER ought to be able to tell him.
The head-notes of Supreme Court
decision ought to reflect the legal
points decided by the court. and the
members of the court are the best
qualified to perform this work. They
know exactly what was argued and
decided, and have or are certainly

TO THE MEN OF AMERICA

You talk of your breed of cattle,
And plan for higher strain,
You double the food of the pasture,
You heap up the measure of grain;
You draw on the wits of the nation,
To better the barn and the pen;
But what are you doing, my brothers,
To better the breed of men?
You boast of your Morgans and Herefords,
Of the worth of calf colt,
And scoff at the scrub and the mongrel,
AS worthy fool or a dolt:
You mention the points of your roadster,
With many wherefore" and when,
But, ah, you counting, My brothers,
The worth of the children Of men2,-~
And what of your boy? Have you measured
His needs for growing year!
Does your mark as his sire, in his features,
Mean less than your brand on a steer?
Thoroughbred-that is your watch-word,
For stable and pasture and pen;
But what is your word for the homestead!
Answer, You Breeders of Men!

MISS DONALDsON's PLANS.
Miss Donaldson and Major Ruck-

home, and where she spent much
of her childhood. Her grandfather.
the Rev. DR.. John o. Wilson, presi-
dent of Lander College, Greenville,
Is to perform the ceremony, and
Colonel Donaldson will give his
daughter away.
Miss Donaldson went to Green
willie two or three weeks ago and
has been the guest of honor at a
continuous round of parties, since
she has friends and relatives all
over South Carolina who were de-
lighted to do her honor. Colonel
and Mrs. Donaldson Joined the bride
last week and they. too, have been
much feted. 1t was expected that
two or three OF Miss Donaldson's
four brothers would complete the
family party assembled for the
wedding. and presumably they man.

maid OF honor and the bridesmaids
are Miss Harriet Mccullough, Of

They will wear chiffon gowns in
which the autumn tones-yellows
shading into brown and burnt or
ange-are blended. The brides cos
tune is Of the traditional white
satin combined with family lace,
and she will wear a lovely lace veil
