RULEVlLLE KICKS ON
CHANGE IN SCHEDULE

s. YAZoO CITY, Miss. Jan. a. (Spl.)--
Ruleville. Miss, citizens are said to
have entered vigorous protest against
the changed Y. 4 M. V. time schedule
and the annullmcnt OF the order of tho
Mississippi railroad commission, maxi
ing meeting Of Y, & M. v. and
Southern railroad trains at Moorhead
compulsory. Moorhead Is 20. miles
south of Ruleville and the enforced
meeting point there gives residents Of
the vicinity sure connections for Green
wood and Greenville.
Due to the small number of petition
ers who could be secured to favorAa re-
tention of the old order, it Is thought
that the protest will have little weight.
Greenwood recently Joined Yazoo City
in asking that the Moorhead connections
be broken in favor of the establish
ment OF through service on the Y. &
NJ V.
1t is claimed by the advocates Of the
old schedule that residents Of the line
Of the railroad in Sunflower county, OF
Greenwood. Indianola and intervening
points, prefer the old schedule. The
change, however, benefits a very much
larger number of people since Green
wood was recently petitioner for the
new service.

subclerk, to lead the Ukrainian people.
In the first place PetIura declared his
hostility to the Germans. He beat them
in battle and drove them forth Then
he announced his opposition to Lenine's
Bolshevism, and fought really big war
which ended with Lenine's decision to
leave Ukrainia alone. Next he declared
war against Poland because Poland
claimed certain Galician regions which
Petlura claimed were rightfully Ukrain-
ian. The Polish Ukrainian war was the
most dismaying OF all the post-armistice
conflicts and only recently has come
to a standstill through an indecisive
truce.
1t would be imagined that Petlura
strongly anti-German and anti Bolshe-
visit, would be eager 10 make common
cause with the Russian. Denikine, who
is sworn to exterminate the Boshe-
wiki and who Is a bitter enemy of Ger
manlsm. But such an estimate would
prove ignorance of Petlura's capabili-
| ties. He denounces Deniline as vehe-
mently as he has denounced Luden-
| dorff, Lenine and Pilsudski. Denikne
| Is unquestionably fighting to kill the
| Bolshevilii, but he is also, by Petlura' S
rating, fighting to establish a Russian
state that will include USrainia. Pet
| lura wants no such state. He seeks
only q completely independent pkralnia
with himself in dictatorial authority.
With all his other wars Petlura has
been able to hold his own against Dem
kline. The sturdy Cossack, compelled
| to fight both Russian Bolsheyiki and
| Ukrainian separatists has found Pet
lura n, ore difficult than Trotzky. He
has beaten the Bolsheyiki in repeated
encounters. but he has been held at
bay by Petluras legionairieS.

be very kind in answering problems and

If you could only find the right wom-
an ] would say marry again. First she
would have to be genuine and you
should have known her a long time. She
must be practical and by all means have
sense Of humor or she can't qualify
It's quite ordinary II not exactly right,
that youthful brides are allowed TO be
addicted to nerves" "fads," tenn
pers' and such, but it wouldn't do for
a stepmother She would have to be
unusually fair minded and she would
have to love home and simple pleasures
Look through the lists of your ac-
qaintances and see II there isn't some
sweet, pleasant, interesting woman you
know. Someone, perhaps, who mothers
the small children OF her brothers or
sisters, Think carefully and see IL you
can't remember such a person and then
II you can, why not call upon her?
I'm glad 10 see you considering your
children and not trying to marry any
body, and therefore proTdink them
with any kind OF q stepmother. So few
widowers are really thoughtful or fair
to themselves and their children. Then
look at 1t from the other side. A lot
is expected of stepmother I've seen
some who were quite worth while.
