LIBRARY DAY HERE
PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION
TO CELEBRATE LIBRARY
DAY TUESDAY, APRIL 13.

At the regular meeting of the
Parent-Teacher Association on We'd
nesday afternoon, it was decided ia
have a committee of High School
pupils visit the homes of the citizens
OF Water Valley on Tuesday, April
Is from l to 4:30 o'clock and solicit
books for the High School Library
Any one who has in his or her lib
rary copies of Standard works of
fiction, biography, history, pietry or
reference books, that he or she will
donate to the school library, will be
given a chance to do so on the a.
bovedate In case it is necessary for
you to be away from kome on the
above date, if you will leave books
on the front porch they will be COL
lected. And to them the Parent
Teacher Association, the teachers, and
pupils of the school tender our most
grateful thanks.
We need good school library
and there are enough books in pri-
vate libraries in Water Valley that
will never be used there again to
make a library that we would be
proud Of. This is a way to add the
most valuable thing we can to the
school,an d practically without ex-
pense to any one. When the boys
and girls call on you next Tuesday
will you take part in this movement
to build up a library in the Water
Valley High School as good as any
school library in the State? If
good literature is good for children
any where don't you think il will
be good for the children in Water
Valley? A system of Card-Index
has been ordered, and the books that
you give will be used, and not abus-
ed; and will be kept in the library.
One of the leading secondary
schools of the South boasts that the
books in their library cost more than
heir buildings. Show me a person
hat reads good books and l will
show you a person that is useful in
Church and State, and that is the
lind of fpeople we want in Water
Valley when the children of today
become the citizens of tomorrow.

HIGHWAY ASSURED
FOR yAL0BUSHA
WORK MUST NOT BE SLACK
ENED UNTIL FINISH OF
THE ROAD.

The outcome of the meeting of the
Jefferson Davis Highway Commission
held in Jackson Thursday, at which
time there were preesnt the heads
of the commission from this state
and Tennessee, was that the road
pass through Marshall, Lafayette,
and Yalobusha and through Grenada
County to Canton, and then to Jack
son.
The same route as had been selected
in convention at Memphis in Febru-
ary 1919 was uecided upon. This
however does not mean that the
people should loose interest, and let
the work drag, out it means that
zeal work must be kept up until the
furnishing of the road. A plan has
been adopted in this county and will
be worked to SO as to get the work
finished as soon as it is practicable.
The following from Water Valley
We're in attendance at the meeting:
II. X. Hunter, Eugene Tarver, j. L.
Ware and w. A Nolen
The following was the resolution
adopted:
We, the Committee appointed by
the jefferson Davis Highway Asso-
citation as herein before named, find

EASTER SERVICES AT
METHODIST CHURCH
Large Crow Attend and Rev. Was
son breaches Eloquent Sermon.

Last Sunday was a truly wonder
full day in Water Valley, though tho
weather was some what chilly and
the wind was high. But the Easter
Day was full of blessings to those
who attend the Methodist church,
both morning and evening.
The occasion was especially for
the Knight Templars of the local
Masonic Lodge, and that membership
attended accompanied by ladies'.
The church was beautiful, and the
white cross decorated with Easter
lilies and Electric lights added
'nucht to the meaning of the servi
ces. Especially fit was the pastor
for the occasion, and his sermoE
will long be remembered. For more
than an hour his message from On
High held the closest attention of
those there.
The music was beautiful, and those
in the choir did credit to themselves.

With this assurance the delegates
who go to jackson can assure the
Commissioners that Yalobusha coun-
ty is ready to Hard Surface the

The concensus of opinion of the
ones who are in a position to know
and expires sthemselves is that we
will keep the Highway and begin tc
Hard Surface same.
While the spirit to build the road
is at warm height, lets go to
work and not stop until the Highway
is completed.
Yalobusha County had not done
her duty toward building the road
but she was not as bad off as some
of her neighbor counties had thought
she was if you go into the other
counties and find out what they are
doing toward building their link, YOU
will agree with us.

The Seward gateway., 1920-12-28

A movement having for its pur- pose the colonizing of 50U families of farmers along the government rail- road between Seward and Fairbanks was launched by J. c. Mcbride, repub- lican national committeeman this week in Juneau, according to c. J. Lincke, who passed through Seward en route to Anchorage, and who was news edi- tor of the Daily Capital of Juneau during the republican campaign. :.
 The plan as outlined by MT. Nc Bride calls for the bringing in of the settlers at government expense, sup plying them with implements and live stock and a credit of $10,0o0 with 20 years in which to lquidate.
 "You may tell the people of the Southwest" said Mir. Mcbride the day I left Juneau, said Mir. Lincke, that we are behind this movement

with all our energy. The railroad and by raising the foodstuffs needed in Alaska enable other big enterprises to be established. Before the road is completed there will have been ex- pended sixty odd millions of dollars and we want the enterprise as we'll as the coal mines being developed by the government to be vindicated and made a real benefit to the country.
 "A memorial, fathered by Repub- lican Herman Tripp, will be preented to the legislature which will in turn memorialize congress. To give the en- tire matter impetusist is MT. Nc Brides request that every community in Southwestern Alaska and the in- terior hold mass meetings and pass rsolutions and send them to him at Juneau, so as to have solid phalanx of sentiment hcaind Delegate Dsn

 Enquiries along the journey from Juneau to Seward indicate strong sentiment for George Hazelet for gov er1nor," continued MT. Lincke, and the action of the Juneau Republican club in naming slate containing only the names of Juneau reidents for public office has served to swerve senti- ment in Southeastern Alaska to MT. Hadelet. It would be hard to say just how the capital city stands on the question as there are two factions, one led by Judge Wickersham, while the other is non-committal, but there seems to be much sentiment behind the Hazelet candidacy.

ITALIAN REGULAR TROOPS REPORTED IN F|UMf
TOO MUCH THANK YOU"

We honestly believe that in the natter of doing things for mere
 thank you" the weekly newspapers # this country hold the record.
 We say it with no desire to dis sriminate, for we believe Seward people are no different from those to oe found elsewhere, but we feel that with no reflection they will agree 1t is srue, that for the number of favors rendered no other institution Is as poorly paid as the newspaper. The church has a bazar, the school has concert, club brings a paid speaker or musician to town and does 80 to make money, and yet in almost every instance the newspaper is called on to announce the date, boost the at- traction, ct out the crowd and then be satisfied with a free ticket. And often, the promoters overlook sven the free ticket.
 It is hard for some people to un- derstand that about all a newspaper has to sell is its space, or at least that part of it's space not devoted to actual news happenings. If it gives away it's space where is it to get money for more white paper, more ink, more type for type wears and for rent and heat and light and the scores of other thing that it is forced to pay out good money for? They wouldn't go to the merchant and say "We're going to hold a bazar to make some money; give us some of your goods to sell that night" Yet they say to the editor "We're going to hold 8 bazar give us your ad- vertising space % we can get ., crowd that will spend its money. And yet there's no difference.
 The Gateway is here to boost every worthy institution and expects to keep on doing it. But We would get down on our knees and thank the good Lord right now if we could make everyone see that it takes money to run a newspaper just tho same as it does anything else. :"
