Mr.. George w. Price,
Editor Oxford Eagle,
Oxford, Miss.
Dear Mr.. Price:
1t has been a long time since |
saw you,-four years, to be exact,
and you have probably forgotten me.
But | was business manager of The
Mississippian for the 191G-17 term,
until l left the University after
Christmas. You may remember, too,
that after | left, was handed a
mighty dirty deal of double crossing,
but that is past history, and i'm
material now.
Since leaving the University of
Mississippi, spent couple Of years
overseas with the Second Division,
was wounded couple Of times, and
climbed up from a second lieutenant
to a lieutenant colonel. Saw most of
my service as a Major After get
ting out Of the army, | went to the
University Of Michigan, where
graduated in Law and Literature.
For ten months now, | have been
working necessarily on the develop
ment of the oil and mineral resources
of Mississippi, and have induced sew
eral big operators to come into this
state. Among them is George o.
Baird, famous oil operator of Loui
siana, and other fields, who is with
the Baird Hughes Drilling Company.
] am in charge Of all of M. Baird's
operations in Mississippi and Ala
bama. We are drilling 1T Canton.
Miss, as stated in your paper Of
Nov. 25, but your statement as re-
GO rds our drilling west of Crawford
is mistake. It must be someone
else. We are also drilling here near
n Meridian, and it looks as if we had
struck oil and gas here. We are
down two thousand , and forty-five
feet. We are starting a well across
the line in Alabama this month, and
west of Meridian In Newton County
next month. My plans for the next
few months include the drilling of
ten or more test wells in various
ports of Mississippi.
l am very much interested in de-
ve'opments in Lafayette ard Cal
houn counties, as outlined in your
paper I believe north Mississippi is
going to be great oil field, and am
going to do my best to develop it in
any small way / can help. l believe
in that section strong enough to be

rillion acres of leases in North Mis-
sissippi, and have some half dozen

OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

DIR Motley, pastor of the Baptist
church, conducted the devotional eX-
ercises in the chapel last Wednesday,
His theme was individuality" and to
lemphacize this he told little story
The story was this: Three little
negro girls who were to be baptized
thought they should have something
suited their elder and he said
to say on the occasion, so they con-
it wasn't necessary for them to say
anything. The little girls were not
satisfied and still thought they should
say something. So they got togather
to formulate a plan. After thinking
for few minutes the first little
negro said, "When I'ze baptized Tze
gwina say Glory!" The second little
negro said "Tze gwina say Hal
lelujah!" and the third one said, Pze
gwina make mine big and say, Glory
Hallelujah"
The day came and when the first
little negro came up out of the water
she said, Glory! This made the
people begin to fell good and when the
second one cam out and said "Hal-
lelujah" the people ere almost ready
to shout. When the third little girl
came out of the water She completely
forgot what she was to say but felt
that she must say something, so she
shouted, christmas Gift"
DR.. Motely wanted us to express
our individuality as the little negro
who shouted Christmas Gift.
An added attraction of the chapel
exercises was a recitation "Thanks-
giving" by little Miss Mary Neil of
the second grade.
Last Friday night the Hi Y boys
entertained the Girls Reserve at the
home of Levine Boyett. Many diff
ferent games wer heartily entered in
to by the large crowd of pupils and
teachers who were. present.
Delicious refrshmnts of ice cream
cake and candy wereserved.

A MESSAGE FOR
EN- SERVICE MEN.

Today there is matter of pressing
Importance which should be brought
to the attention of many eX-servlce
men of Lafayette county. In my
Judgment it is worthy of the most
careful consideration and serious re
Election. | refer to the reinstatement
of the War Risk Insurance policies
that have been allowed to "lapse" OF
to have been dropped"
Certainly, it is the duty of some
one to call attention to this and
avail myself of this means to do not
only because of the fact that | have
served as commander of the local
post of the American Legion but that
it may prove helpful to the ex-service
men of the county. The Eagle has
kindly consented to the use of its
columns without charge.
/ Congressional enactment and Blu
reau regulations have made it pos
siOe for eX-service men to reinstate
their War Risk Insurance policies,
no matter how long they have been
dropped, if such action is taken be-
fore December 81, 1920. There is no
need here for statement of the
wonderful benefits afforded Uncle
Sans former fighting men through
the national insurance system admin
istered as the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance. There is no need to en-
phasize the fact that the premium
rates are so small in comparison
with those of privately owned in
surance companies as to be start
ling revelation. Nor that these bene-
fits are afforded gallant soldiery
by the grateful recognition of duty
well performed. The thing to think
about now is that your insurance can
be reinstated if action is taken be-
fore December 81, 1920.
A letter from Mr.. Gordon E. Bish-
op, Mississippi Representative of the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance, tells
me that the ex-service men in Missis-
sippi alone held over 100000, 100000
of government life insurance during
the late war, and because they are
not acquainted with their rights they
have dropped over three hundred mil
lions of it! He says that the direct
cause of this amazing situation has
been that those acquainted with the
provisions Of the War Risk legisla-
ton have not attempted to fully ex-
plain the matter to those of their
comrades less fortunate.
AS stated above, men no longer
need to be told of the many benefits,
derived through the medium Of War
Risk Insurance. Insurance is as
sound an investment (from
an unselfish standpoint) as a man can
make. The duty of provision for
loved ones is sacred. Not only this,
