Another fourth Of the money, for
object two, goes to the Anti-Saloon
League of America for work among
aliens in this country. We must make
good and law-abiding citizens of those
foreigners who stay with us, through
education, literature and speakers in
the only language they may know.
While harangued by anarchists and
booze-advocates they remain a men.
ace to our institutions. These scat.
tered colonies within our borders can
be reached only through the systematic
and studied propaganda of the Ma.
tional League.
"Such of the remainder of the funds
as may be determined by the State
and National League Is to be devoted
to object three. All the world is now
our neighbor. Five critical years have
demonstrated that we are vitally af-
fected by conditions elsewhere on the
globe. One dollars worth Of liquor
will counteract hundred dollars OF
the money so generously given to his
sions by Baptists, Methodists, Prasby.
terians, Episcopalians and others.
Let's help make effective these mis-.
sionary gifts. The missionary pleads
for our help against the emigrating
liquor dealer and his wares that are
hurrying to other shores.
"Under objects one and two the
Anti-Saloon League seeks to remove
the cause that Y M. C. A., Red Cross,
Salvation Army and other noble bodies
are earnestly striving to remedy. With
law enforcement, proper education and
removal Of temptation there will be
less poverty fewer dens Of vice, a
redemption from misery to women and
children, and the work of those great
organizations will be made easier and
the quicker accomplished
"Under object three 1t will be DOE.
sible to clean up" Cuba and the
Bahamas from the liquor and vice con.
tagion that is already affecting our
shores. Mexico also, because of which
probably hundred million dollars a
year is spent by our American Govern.
ment to keep the peace, would be less
disturbing element If drink were
abolished and this can be accom-.
plished. AS an aid In preventing
Bolshevism from spreading to our
shores some countries oP tbo Ola
World should be made acquainted
with our customs and laws and their
citizens taught to respect such before
emigrating here.

INTERVIEW WITH DIRECTOR w
MCDONALD LEE.
LAW ENFORCEMENT FIRST
100000 To Be Spent In Fighting
Bolshevism BY Amerlcanizing
Foreigners.

W. Mcdonald Lee, National Direc.
tor OF the great campaign launched
by the Anti-Saloon League of America,
has made the following statement
showing the objects of the campaign,
why it is necessary, and to what pur-
poses the funds raised will be de-
voted
I'VE have three great aims in this
campaign" declared Mr.. Lee, "all of
which will appeal to every. patriotic
American who has the welfare Of his
own country at heart and any regard
for the moral and spiritual welfare
and progress Of our neighboring ma
tions. These aims are as follows:
Q) To aid home Law Enforcement
(requiring about nine million).
(2) To Americanize the Foreigner
(requiring about nine million).
(3) A Dry World by 1880 (including
Mexico and West Indies).
"A fourth of the money raised in
the campaign is to be left in the State
for object one, Law Enforcement"
which means creating public senti-
ment for observance Of law, and de.
mand for officers who will enforce the
law. Internal Revenue Commissioner
Daniel Roper and Federal and State
officers nearly everywhere invite such
cooperation by our organization and
similar ones. Liquor interests have
organized-it is said with $4OO, 900 ,OO0

slect Congress that will increase al.

jackson, Miss, Jan. 2S, Especial.
The campaign to raise Mississippi's
quota of 100000 of a large national
fund to fight the whiskey interests
in their efforts to yet nullify prohi-
bition laws has aroused the people of
this state to the necessity for quick
action if prohibition is TO "stay put"
Gen. n. B. Forrest, state director
of the campaign, says that the drive
will continue until the first Of next
month, as rains in many parts of the
state have interfered with it's prog
ress. The state director is encouraged
to believe that the campaign in Miss
issippi will be successful.
That Mississippi people who be-
lieve in prohibition and law enforce
ment are determined to do their full
share towards that end is indicated
in the interest taken in the campaign
now being conducted in this state to
raise large fund to combat the
whislley interests in their desperate
efforts to "come back"
Already thousands of people in
the state have subscribed to the fund
being raised by the prohibitionists to
wage a final, decisive battle with the
"wets." 1t is stated by prohibition

DENONSTRAT
Of MEAT CUTTING
At COURTHOUSE:

A demonstration in meat cutting,
curing and canning was given at the
courthouse by Dr.. G. A. Anthony, as
sistant in Animal Husbandry and
Specialist in meat curing Wednesday
morning at 1890 o'clock. A large
and interested crowd was present and
DR.. Anthony demonstrated in an in
teresting manner the proper cutting
and curing of meats for the farmer,
just as it is done in Virginia and
Maryland.
He told our people that just as
good quality of meat be obtained in
Mississippi as anywhere and that our
hams compete with those of any state.
His methods for curing with the
sugar cure preserves the favor and
retains the moisture so that the hams
do not become havorless and as hard
as bone in the summer. He also ex-
planned that the hams gain flavor till
about the eighth month and retained
this for years.
The whole state of Mississippi is
becoming interested in this enters
prise and splendid prizes are being
offered at our State and Tri-state
sfairs this year.
After the meat cutting, Miss. Ash
baugh explained how the brain and
sausage could be canned, saving the
choise pieces for summer use and
incidentally saving the health of the
family by eliminating their task Of
saving their part by eating them and
suffering results in indigestion and
fever blisters. Meat canned after
being fried or roasted retained it's
flavor for years, and it is impossible
to say if it came out of a can or was
freshly cooked.
This is just what our people of Ok
tibbeha County have needed and ask
ed for and it will also mean a matter
of dollars and cents to our people.
We hope some of our people will
save their hams and bacon for the
fairs and carry off the prizes.
DR.. Anthony is one of the most
noted meat cutter and curers in our
country and the people of Starlzvillc
and Oktibbeha County are indeed
fortunate in having been able to Sc
cure him. Thanks are due Miss e.
Ashbaugh, County Home Demonstra-
tion Agent for the visit of Dr.. Anth~
ony to the county.
