Red Cross aids in community

Red Cross aids in community
building, tuberculosis work and
other aids to health, help care
for any needy and unfortunate
civilian, gives relief to. storm and
famine sufferers, aids starving
people in other lands, and assists
IN every way to uplift humanity.
Surely every one wants part
in this great work!
Though our Chapter has been
small this year we have done q
good deal of work for the dis
charged soldiers and their de-
pendents in our county. We sent
$3.50 to Meridian to the storm SUI
ferers. Just now we are doing
some very effective local work for
a tubercular patient who would
otherwise not be properly cared.
All who join the Red Cross have
part in this ennobling work, and
one cannot know the need till
conditions are investigated in our
county. There will be much suf-
fering which your enrolment for
1921 will relieve.
1t will be impossible to make
anything like a thorough canvass
of the county for members. We
can only suggest that some one
n every community take up the
matter and send in to the execu-
tive secretary SO cents of all re-
newals to be sent to Washington,
and list of the members, and re-
tain SO cents for work in your
own community. We urge all
those who have had charge Of
this work before to take it up a.
gain. Teachers are asked to take
up the Junior work and report this
to the secretary.
We have arranged to have mo-
ton pictures showing the work
the Red Cross is doing next week.
They will be shown in Brandon
the night of November %, in Pela-
hatchie November %, and Flor
ence November "a. These pict-
ures will be free and it is hoped
that every one will come and see
them and know better the good
work of this great organization

GOOD READING

The following from the Column
bia, S. c., Times, although pub
lished prior to the late election, is
nevertheless good reading at this
date, and we are particularly
commend it to the perusal of
those Democrats who are dispos-
ed to think the Democratic party
dead and buried:
1.-THE Republicans have mud
died the water and succeeded in
a large degree in placing, the
blame on the Democrats. The
past two years instead Of being
chargable to the Democrats is to
be laid at the door of the Republi-
cans. They have controlled the
Senate, and they have raised a
thousand sides issues. They have
not done a single constructive
piece of work. 1t has been a two
year period of the most heartless
SANDER and of striking below the
belt. So persistent has been the
attack upon Mr.. Wilson that even
among Democrats there is often
found one of his defaMers. Such
Democrats are wolves in sleeps
clothing. The league covenant,
Article X, is one Of the plainest
documents ever written. it is
without doubt, one of the broad
est, most unselfish and least OBJ
jectionable outline of internation-
al conduct that has ever been pro-
posed. There is not one thing in
it that is really Objectionable.
Nor did the Lodges and such in
dividuals really oppose the cove
nant. 1t was Wilson, and Wilson
only that was Objectionable. This
is as plain as the nose on the cats
face. After the furror and clam
or of the present has passed and
thoughtful men have had time to
analize the real facts of today, it
is going to appear that the Repub-
lican party, reactionary to a de-
gree, was responsible for one of
the most outrageous blunders of
history. True, there are certain
big money interests, certain sell
fish, scheming politicians who
will continue to proclaim the de-
merits of the league covenant.
But some day the plain, working
| people of America, the smallest
business men of America and the
great army of teachers, preach
ers and professional men of A
merica who will come to see the
real issues in this momentous
hour. If they saw the truth, the
real truth now Harding would
stand no chance Of election. AS
it is, the battle is going to be
close, and no man knows the re-
suit. But if Harding is elected,
owing to the spirit of reaction, it
will be just another case of the
pendulum swing back. 1t must
not be forgotten that having
swung backward, there is sure to
be forward swing"

BEATING THE BOYS TO IT

A community that has suffered
a good deal from the rowdyism of
it's young boys found Halloween
approaching with it's annual
promise of visits from the youth
full wrecking crew. Some of the
neighbors met and decided to beat
the boys to it by staging the fin
est neighborhood celebration the
town had ever known. Parents
and teachers were enlisted. Ev-
erybody agreed to join in the fun.
Everybody dressed up. There
was no ban put on noise. A pro-
cession was formed. 1t paraded
around the streets led by a ghost
band. Jiack-o-lantdrns flashed.
Finally the whole bunch rounded
up on the park with big bonfire
and marshmallow roast.
The scheme worked to perfec-
ton. There was so much fun
right out in the parade that pri-
vate property remained unscath-
ed. What surprised the boys was
that the elders and teachers
whom they regarded as their nat
ural enimies were almost as much
alive as themselves. On the other
hand, the boys, met in their owl
environment did not seen half sc
| devilish as when considered from
the isolation of an easy chair.
There is to be some sort Of
gathering often, from now on, il
that neighborhood, to keep the
boys and the older people en- 8
priendly basis.
1t is not new idea that the
| way to keep a lad out Of mischief
is to give him sometime else to
do, or that the way to prevent his
being an enemy is to turn him in
to friend; but about every sc

up like an old Rip Van Wrinkle tc

William j. Bryan's suggestion
that President Wilson resign is
wholly out of place. Woodrow
Wilson was elected president of
United States for a term of four
years, and he cannot nor should
not be removed without cause.
Article II of the Constitution of
the United States provides for the
presidents successor, in case of
death or inability to discharge
the powers and duties Of his office
and in which case the vice-presi-
dent becomes acting president,
and he shall so act until disabil-
ity is removed or a president is
elected. If President Wilson, by
reason of illness, is incapacita-
ted the vice-president should as
sumo the powers and duties of
president, but said powers" can
not be turned over to the presi-
dent-elect until he is legally in
augurated, and until that cere-
mony shall have been performed
Senator Harding is a private cit
izen, so far as the presidency is
concerned. Mr.. Bryan's joke, if
joke it may be called, is entirely
out of place.

warns all people in Mississippi
to beware of dishonest nursery
dealers and statesmen who are
now at work in this state. Some
of these nursery peddlers are sell
ing Seeding trees for grated and
budded stock and are charging
exhorbitant prices for them. 1t
is doubtful if any honest and re
liable ndrsel'yman will sell seed
line nut and fruit trees, even
though his customers do not know
any better than to waste their
money buying plants of this kind.
One dishonest nursery agent
has been telling farmers that he
was employed part of each year as
q Spraying Demonstration for the
State of Mississippi. and would
come around at different times
during the year, and spray their
trees for them.
The Nursery Inspection Depart
ment of the State Plant Board is
not only endeavoring to make in
spection service so thorough that
people in Mississippi may pur-
chase plants with some assurance
that they will be free of serious
insect pests and plant diseases,
but it is also endeavoring to rid
the state Of nursery agents and
dealers who rob the farmers by
misrepresentation and fraud. All
COMPLAINTS should be sent prompt

There are plenty Of reliable
and honest nurserymen, and nur-
sery agents and dealers. We

tablespoonful of the tea, put cup of
boiling water upon it, pour through a
sieve and drink q teacup full at any

1t is the most effective way to break a
cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion.
Also loosens the bowels, thus driving a

Try it the next time you suffer from
