Baptist Church Doesn't Say Much.

The fact that the Baptist Church
didn't respond with a contribution to
the Anti-Saloon League doesn't spell
as much as the self-interested LIQUOR
ties would have it. Why, recently
the Pastor of this same church called
for the election of a deacon to fill
the place of one removed.
he hesitated in the dumb silence
at his request. What is your de-
sire?' he finally courteously inquir-
ed. The silence was felt if not ex-
p1essive.
Once more the puzzled pastors
voice was raised:- Let us rise and
receive the benediction," he said.
And we are perfectly sure the
church is in favor of deacons! 1t
also warmly seconds National Prohi-
bition and if the test comes, it will
be found one hundred per cent for
the dry measure and for Christian
America. 1t will take action in de-
tense of its principles.

In Memoriam, Jules Kalusehe.

WHEREAS; The Supreme Ruler
of the Universe, in His infinite wis
dom has seen fit to send forth his
reaper into the home of our beloved
Brother Jules Kalusche for him the
Mystic Veil has lifted, the Infinite
Father has given the divine command
Come up higher" and in response
our brother has entered the Eternal
Abode where all is happiness and
sunshine, and his soul is at peace
with the Master:
The mighty power of the death an
gel, over which we have no control.
has broken our chain of friendship,
and one of it's links has fallen out.
1t seems eminently fitting that we
record our appreciation of our Bro
ther by dedicating this memorial to
his beloved memory,
RESOLVED, That in the death of
Brother. Kalusche, Pike Camp No. 33
Woodmen of the World has lost a
good and true member, and our town
a model citizen.
RESOLVED, That a copy of these
resolutions be sent to his beloved
family and a copy of same published.

CHURCHES TO ADVERTISE.

A preacher asked not long ego
what he could do to induce people
to attend church. Being firm be-
lever in advertising we told him to
use space in the local paper. A
moving picture show would not think
of getting a crowd by simply an
nouncing that "the Bijou will be op-
en- Monday night" A great lecturer
would not come to town and expect
to get an audience by simple three
line announcement of his date and
place of speaking. The picture show
takes columns to tell what the play
will be, where it is staged, who are
the principals, and probably gives
pictures of the players and the scenes
to be portrayed. The lecturer tells
something of the story he is to bring
and of the benefits to be derived from
hearing it. If the preacher would
give the people more of an idea OF
what they may expect If they go to
church, than is contained in the SIM
pie announcement the Rev. Smith
will preach morning and evening"
possibly he could interest more peo-
pie. Certain it is that people will
go to church or anywhere else where
they may expect to hear things they
want to hear. Getting the people
out to church is great problem now
adays, and the man who will sug-
gest a sure way to move them, will
be called blessed. We read in Mis-
sissippi paper the other day that once
upon a time most everybody in its
town went to church, but now they
seem to have something else on hand
when Sunday comes. The lack of
church attendance is not an Earl
vile failing entirely -Earlville (Ill.)

"AS TO PRODUCTION"

The best understood proposition in
the world today is that unless peo-
pie produce they cannot exist. Yet
in the face of that there has never
been a moment in the worlds his
tory when the tendency to reduce
production was more in evidence.
From every nation under the sun
comes reports that production is de-
clining and this in the face of i'm
proved machinery and constantly in
creasing wages. In this country,
where we had so much stored away
we have not as yet felt the decreased
production so keenly as they have in
those countries where they used up
their supplies long ago. But we are
getting near the point, even in this
country, where we've got to start
in and increase our output. We are
consuming faster than we are pro-
ducing, and this may be truly said
of all lines of industry. With the
increased wages paid in this coun-
try all rejoice. Every Yazoo City
man who is making two dollars now
where he made one ave years ago Is
to be congratulated. But when we
are told that despite the fact that
our home people, and those in every
other town and county in the United
States, are receiving higher wages
they are producing less then it be-
hooves us to look into the matter and
seek a remedy. 1t seems impossible,
that men whose wages are increas-
ed will begin to produce less, but
Washington statistics show it to be
a fact. Further, it seems incredible
that men whose wages are advanced
will remain idle more than when
drawing a smaller wage. But sta
tistics also show that to be a fact.
So if increased wages and shorter
hours are not an incentive to in
creased production then the untime-
ly end of the American people can
not be very many years away.-Ya-
ZOO Sentinel.

Poker Players and Bettors on Elec'
tions are Not Overlooked.

G. L. Donald, Collector of Internal
Revenue, informed the editor or this
paper that Uncle Sam wants to know
how much you won at poker or. on
the election last year. None of his
business" you say? There's where
you're mistaken. Taxable income
for the year 1919 includes amounts
gained in gambling AND on election
bets.
Profits made in violation of laws
are none the less taxable. So it's up
to you "penny-ante" boys whose pok-
er and election bets are on the right
side of the ledger to come across.
What about the losers?" Well,
that's different. Illegal losses are
not deducible.
Come across, boys. The fellow
who lost in last years election bets
has turned your name in and if you
want to have smooth sailing with
Uncle Sam you had better not fail to
report it in your return you must
file by March 18th.

PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENT.
The Times-Plcayune saws;

The Times-Picayune says
Take the young woman, for in
stance, and compare them with those
Of generation ago. DR.. Dudley A.
Sargent, the physical training expert,
who has been investigating the mat
ter, finds that the American girls
have grown an inch in height on the
average and have added ten pounds
to their weight since the Chicago ex-
position of twenty-seven years ago,
less than a generation. This has
been limited at before, but we now
have the figures. The physical i'm
proVement in girls was to be expect
ed, as they are showing today a dis
position to take more and better ex-
ercise. The men also, in spite of the
draft hgures, show an improvement
They have increased more in height
than the girls-two inches as against
one-but not inS~ weight-gaining
nine pounds as against ten; they evil
IDENTIFY aim at slimness and better
physical proportions. Both sexes are
reported much improved in the mat
ter OF nervous control"
There is not the interest and ac-
tivity there should be in matters Of
health, sanitation and physical care
in Brookhaven. Our young people
should have a gymnasium and nata-
torium and physical director. There
is demand here for an organization
looking to the combined moral and
physical we'll being of young people.
Dances and parties-Church So
Gals and entertainments are re-
creation but they are not on the "or-
der Of business" requisite for devel-
opment through regular sys-
tenn and organization, such as is
needed to train and, discipline our
boys and girls for physical strength,
and mental and moral prowess.

If that is a fact and it comes from
a source considered authenic, the
Governor is to be congratulated on
the character of men he is picking
out for such responsible positions.

CHRONIC CONSTIPATION.

There are people who never have
a movement of the bowels without it
is produced by cathartic. Most Of
them have brought that condition on
themselves by the use of mineral
waters and strong cathartics that
take too much water out of the sys-
tenn and aggravate the disease they
are meant to relieve. A mild laxa-
tive tonic like Chamberlain Tablets
affords gentle movement of the
bowels that you hardly realize has
been produced by medicine, and
their use is not so likely to be fol-
lowed by constipation.

IN EMORIUM

In loving remembrance OF my
dear husband and father, Roland r.
Heck, who departed this life one
year ago today.
Gone never to be forgotten
In this darn world of sin and pain
We only meet to part again
But when we reach that happy
shore
We then will meet to part no more.
We loved him, yes We loved him
But God loved him best
And he has sweetly called him
To yonder blissful shore to rest.
On think how he moaned and SUI
fered
In pain in the long night hours,
As We soothed him in vain
Till God in his mercy
Sent down from above an
Angel that whispered the mes
sage of love.
The Golden Gates We're open
The gentle voices said come.
And with the word farewell were
spoken
He calmly entered home.
