PRICE COMMISSIONER
NAMING COMMITTEES.

I Fair Price Commissioner T. =.
Locke, working under authority Of the
Department of Justice, is forming an
active organization in each county in
the state as the mediums through
which the departments campaiga
will work.
Meetings were held the past week
under the direction Of Mr.. Locke st
which time the county committees
were named. Reports Of these meet
ings and the appointments in each
county arc now coming into the office
Of the commissioner here and they
are being handled by Mr.. j. 5. Marx,
executive secretary to the commits
sioner
In few days Mr.. Locke will ap-
point the county chairman who will
have direct supervision over the work.
Already beneficial results are COM
ing from the work IN this state, the
moral effect of the launching Of the
departments program alone having
had most wholesome effect on the
prices. At least the public has been
protected against prices that prob
ably would have been charged had
not the Department Of Justice given
notice through its state commission
er that a vigorous campaign would
be waged against profiteering and
boarding.
The Lever act makes profiteering
and boarding a crime, and punish
ments will be made on this basis.

w. 0. w. MEETING
THURSDAY NIGHT.

The members Of Queen City Camp
No. %, Woodmen Of the World, met
last Thursday night at the Woodmen
Hall. Notwithstanding the down
pour of rain there was a surprising
attendance, Of Woodmen, who all
came to hear the reports of the dele

the reports of DR.. Duren and those Of
the other two delegates varying large

accomplished.
The whole Woodmen rate increase
matter is all up in the air, Thousand
Of good men, it is feared, are going
to be frozen out of the order BY the
drastic and unjust provisions of the
new rates. Already some of the lead
ing members Of the local lodge have
sieuified their intention of dropping
out. Notwithstanding they have been
members for all Of these years, have
met all of the order's obligations
promptly they now find that their
payments into the order all these
years are to be wiped out leaving
their families helpless and dependent
and without protection.
The authorities in control of Wood
MOI affairs announce that the new
rates will be ready for members to
pay after the fifteenth. All members
will be required to indicate what op-
tion they will take under the new
policies. All members who intend
paying advanced rates even for a
while, hoping that some relief will
come from some quarter to save them
are advised that if they are COMPELLED
to sign anything relating 10 the new
rate that they write "Done under
protest" below their signatures.

FOllies of 1920
At College Chapel

The town girls at the College are
going to present their first Offering
at the College chapel on next Friday
night and if President Whitfield does
not pull the whole show, it's going to
be scream.
They have been rehesrsing for the
past few weeks and there is an all
pervadng mystery as to its nature.
Some say it will be a tragedy while
others say that it has Hitchy Koo
backed off the boards. No one has
bedl allowed to see their rehearsals.
Their parents even don't know the
stunts they will pull. Maybe there
will be wholesale spanking at home
after the show is over.
And it is for a good cause too. The
town girls want their room at the
college, where they can leave their
wraps and coats and have little
of the comforts Of home. The pro-
cceds Of this entertainment will 20
towards the establishment of this
room.
But the show is the thing. Be there

thirty-five cents per, with no war tax.

which he has been connected. He has
seen it pass through the stress Of the

Is Considering
Congressional Race

Judge Jas. T. Harrison, Of this
city, still has the matter Of making
the race for Congress from the First
Congressional district under consid-
Grafton. The fact that one candidate
from this county has already an
nounced does not deter him from con-
sidering the matter, for if he de-
cides to run he will Immediately leave
the matter of his home county's al-
dorsement to primary in this coun-
ty and he will offer to run the race
off in this county with Mr.. Stribling
the present announced candidate. The
election will not occur until this sum-
mer and he says there is ample time
for him to consider the matter and to
enter the race and win if he decides
to run.
A rather interesting rumor comes
from Tupelo to the effect that Hon.
George Mitchell, Of Tupelo, will at
the right time enter the race. Mr..
Mitchell is one Of the foremost GRIM
inal lawyers in this section Of the
State and should he decide to run he
will make a most formidable candi-
date. His entrance into the race
would divide the vote of Lee, which
will go to Mr.. Rankin, but maybe a
county primary will eliminate one or
the other of them before the big show
begins.
