WASHINGTON, Nov, lG. - Recent

THE CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE ASKED
Postal Authorities or Philippines And
Spain Take Steps Improve
Service.


MANILA, Nov 16. - Because Of
the delay in receipt Of mail from
Spain, the Philippine Chamber of
Commerce has asked the postal au-
thoriiies Of the Philippines and of
Spain to take steps to improve the
service between the two countries.
According to the secretary of the
Chamber Of Commerce, 1t requires
sixty days to transport mail from
Spain to the Philippines. The long
delay is due, the secretary says, to
the fact that the Spanish government
has not changed since the war, its
procedure Of sending the mail for the
Philippines by way Of the United
States as result Of the temporary
closing Of the Suez Canal.
The secretary in his letters to the
postal authorities OF the Two countries
says the long time required In trans
porting mail Is working great incon-
vcnience and actual loss to business
houses, in many cases.

RESIDENTS OF OIL
FIELDS In NORTH
CANADA FORGET
WHETHER 1T is DAY OR NIGHT
RESULT OF LONG PIE.
RI0DS OF DAY
LIGHT.

OTTAWA, Ont, Nov. 16. - Resi-,
dents of the Fort Norman oil fields
newly discovered in the remote north
west OF Canada along the Mackenzie
River, forget whether it is day or
night. This is the result of the long
periods of daylight.
1t was brought out in an incident
related by 0. S. Finnie, of the Cana
dian Department of the Interior, who
has recently returned from Fort Nor
man. On one occasion on his trip, a
native accosted Mr.. Finnie, asking the
time of the day.
Its eleven O'clock" was the reply.
DAY or night?" inquired the ma
tive, with languid glance at the
sun which had been shining continu-
ally for days.
Mr.. Finnie explained that the long
sunlight periods apparently take
away from the natives all sense of
time and they eat when they are hun.
CRY and sleep when they want to with
out reference to what elsewhere are
night hours.
Vegetables grow exceptionally well
in the far north says Mr.. Finnie, who
attributes this to the long days. Po-
tatoes, turnips, celery and ordinary
vegetables yield excellent crops.

MET TUESDAY
Mrs. G. e. Wright And Miss Leila
Jesty Render Musical Program
At Weekly Luncheon.

One of the most enjoyable meet
ings of the year was had by the Ro-
tarians yesterday noon at the usual
hour.
The entertainment committee de-
serves several pats on the back for
the entertainment furnished. Mrs.
c. E. Wright and Miss Leila Jesty
were on hand, and before the lunch
con these two excellent musicians
entertained the Rotarians with three
beautiful songs, sang as only Miss
Jesty can, accompanied by Mrs.
Wright at the piano. At the conclu-
sion of the meeting, even though the
time for adjournment was at hand,
President Pollard insisted that more
singing and music be had and these
ladies were gracious enough to accede
to his request. Their welcome was
attended by the round after round of
applause given them. They promise
to again visit the club at no late
date and all Rotarians are looking
forward to that time,
Rotarians were particularly happy
yesterday because Of the presence of
two of their members who have been
absent so long because Of illness. Re-
ference Ia had to Mr., J. W. Quinn
and Dr.. Riley Moore President Pol
lard in his usual h1ppy manner con-
graduated them on their recovery and
told them how much they had been
missed. Mr.. Quinn replied by thank
ing the Club for its interest and for
the floral remembrance sent him. DR..
Moore did not feel quite equal to this
task just yet.
Two visiting Rotarians we're on
hand in the persons Of Mr.. Leslie
Thornton of Memphis, a banker, who
was the guest of Rotarian Jim Love,
and Mr.. Billy Auckland, New Or
leans Rotarian who came as the guest
Of Rotarian Dan Linthicum, Both OF
these gentlemen had few words TO
saw, and they congratulated the Club
on the entertainment furnished and
particularly on the attendance record,
which on yesterday was 80 per cent.
President Pollard had as his guest
Mr. Goodwin, wholesale merchant OF

THE BAPTISTS
OF MISSISSIPPI
Holding Four Day Meeting OF Pas
tors-Laymen Coference In.
Jackson.

The Baptists Of Mississippi began
their four-day program last night
with the initial meeting of the Pas
tor Laymen's Conference at the First
Baptist church. The theme of the
meeting was "Tithing." The ad-
dress of the occasion was delivered
by Hon. Gilbert 7, Stephenson, Of
North Carolina, an outstanding lay
man of the denomination and one of
the South's most brilliant lawyers.
The conference was opened with
devotional services led by DR.. J. W..
Storer, of Greenwood, was uplifted
by musical numbers under the lead
ership of Charley Butler, gifted
singer, and proceeded to organize by
the election of a president and sec
retary. Al most effective number
was rendered by the city B. Y. P. u,
called "The Trial of the Robbers"
DR.. J. w. Taylor, Brookhaven, re-
firing president, was In the chair dur
ing the preliminaries. When he open
ed the meeting for nominations the
f0II0WluR were lOHliidbcu anu uh-
animously elected: Rev. Bryan Sim
mons, of Goodman, president; Rev.
E. 7. Moberley, Of Lexington, secre-
tary. Judge d. NJ. Russell, Of Ma
gee, was nominated for the presi-
dency but by his request his name was
withdrawn because of his inability
to be present longer at the confer
snce. More than thousand persons
were present at this opening session.
The speech of Hon. Gilbert I.
Stephenson was a masterpiece Of To-
gic and eloquence. His subject was
7Trusteeship and Tithing.' His ar
gument clearly showed the obligation
Of the Christian regarding his rela-
ton with his Creator in the disposal
of the tenth of his wealth. His words
received the closest hearing and made
an earnest impression upon the whole
audience. e.--Clarion-Ledger, 18th inst

NEW ORLEANS COTTON LETTER
(From Jno. r. Clark & Co.
BY Abe SilveY.l


NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 16.--Liver-
pool opened fairly well but reacted
N the later trading and last prices
show as much as 28 down on the near
3 and 10 on the distant against 5 to I
down due. 1t contains bullish and
bearish features. The fact that the
distant positions are 50 much stron-
ger shows that we have reached a
level where the price itself is insuir-
ing resistance and ideas of cheap
ness in the long run which is also
suggested by the larger spot sales,
although spot prices in line with near
futures are quoted 40 down. The fact
of all this decline in the markets is
that there is a general reserve over
political matters and that the bear
element has little effective opposi-
ton in the way Of anticipatiye spec
ulative demand, at present. Furth-
ernore, the probability is rather pro-
nounced that the ginners report on
November 21st will show over 7,00U,-.
oVO bales ginned 10 Nov. 14th and
fnat will sustain the impression eau
sed by the last giners report OF a lar
ger crop. This depression and neg
iect, however, are working for
great storing Of bullish energy on IN,
crease in short interest in spots ana
futures and this energy will tell at
future date under the impulse o.
later ginning reports which will pro
vide such bullish comparison with the
previous year as there never has been
seen before.

CHURCHES & JAHS
NOT TO BE FOUND
in A RICH TOWN
In I0WA--HAS BEEN WITHOUT
CHURCH FOR so YEARS
JAIL R0TTED
DOWN.
Associated Press

DAVENPORT, Ia, Nov. 16.--There
are two institutions that Walcott, To-
wa, the riches town per capita in
Iowa, prides itself In not possessing,
These are churches and jaila.
In its religious beliefs, Walcott Is
unique. For more than fifty years
the town has been without church.
1t once had jail, but like its only
church established sixty five years
ago and which existed but few years
it was put in the discard. While the
Jail building still stands, there is no
vestiage Of a church edifiee. But
there are no locks to the jail and its
hinges have rotted off. 1t is never
used.
"We are free thinkers and believe
in free American citizenship seven
days week, We do not need preach
ers to dictate to US. We are better
off without them," states Mayor
Strohbeen in expressing Walcott's
lack of churches.
Mayor Strohbeen states that while
any denomination has the privilege of
establishing church in Walcott, the
people simply will not patronize them,
They would have empty pews and
empty collection baskets every Sun
day.
1--WE are getting along very well az
we are--inuch better than with
churches. We like to be let alone.
There is no more peaceful or law abid-
ing town in the whole United States
than Walcott. Why should we want
churches. They bring strife and dis
sensions - we want peace and
quietude," commented the towns pop
ular mayor.
It's no secret how Walcott residents
spend their Sabbath. Shows and
dances are our principal Sunday
amusement" says Mayor Strohbeen.
Then in summer we enjoy baseball
and automobile riding"
In case Of weddings, most of the
couples come to Davenport and look
up justice. In very rare instances
a minister of the gospel is called in.
Most of the funerals in the town
are conducted by Johannes Kroeger,
who delivers the Grafton in either
German or English, as the mournsrs
desire. Kroeger possesses no church
or religious beliefs. In
other words he is a pastor without a
creed. Baptisms are unknown in the
town.
In a business and commercial way,
Walcott is a thriving town. 1t has
two banks with combined deposits of
over $1,500,0O0. This is a remarkable
when considered that the pop
llation of the town il but 1884. 1t has
a consolidated school second To none
in this part Of the state.
Recently the citizens erected fine
public auditorium. Here chautauquas
and musical entertainments are held
on week days, and dances on Sundays.

THE GRAND JURY
MAKES REPORT
Jury In Session Two Days-Fifty
One True Bills Found--Adjourn-
ed Yesterday.
To the Honorable S. f. Davis, Judge
Of the Fourth Judicial District of

70 the Honorable S. L. DAVIS, judge
Of the Fourth Judicial District Of
Mississippi:
We, your grand jurors, elected,
empanelled and sworn, at the Novem-
ber Term, 1921 of Leflore County
Mississippi, beg leave to submit the
following report:
We have been in session two days,
examined 78 witnesses, found 81
true bills, continued one cases,
We have examined the jail, county
farm, county Poor House and county
offices and find that all are in sat
isfaetory condition, with the excep-
tion that the sanitary condition at
the county farm is not, in our opirl-
ion, what it should be, and we called
the Superintendent attention to this
condition and he assured us that an
Improvement would be made without
delay, and with this correction, we
beg to report the condition there as
entirely satisfactory.
We found the Jail, exceptionally
well kept and the prisoners given the
best Of care and attention and we
wish to compliment the management
of this county institution, as 1t is
all that could be desired.
The poor house is also well manag-
ed and we believe the inmates OF that
institution are adequately cared for.
We examined the hotels and picture
shows in the City of Greenwood and
we are not entirely satisfied with the
fire escape arrangements in some OF
these buildings, and we called the
nroprietors attention to these matters
and they assured us that proper cor
rections would be made promptly, in
keeping with our recommendation,
and further assured us that they
would gladly make the suggested
changes in the fire escapes, therefore,
we are Of the opinion that the public
will be properly protected and the
law complied with when the inn
movements we recommended have
been installed.
We wish to thank your Honor for
the able and instructive charge delly-
cred us on the opening day Of TINS
term of Court and assure your HON
or that we have put forth our best
efforts to discharge our duties tully'
as outlined under the splendid IN
structions we received from the Court.
We want to thank the Sheriff ana
+be Circuit Clerk, the District At
tonev and the County Attorney for
their prompt assistance rendered US
in the discharge Of our official duties
for it was through their assistance
that we were enabled to dispatcn
sucb large volume Of business ~

uolune I Of criminal business, as the
eases considered show great NUMBER ~
of minor infractions Of the law WIN

Having submitted this, our flllal INA

We be finally discharged. 40,

Is CONDUCTING
CAMP AIGN FOR
Perfect Package" BY American Rail-
way Express Throughout The
u. s. This Month.

The Chamber Of Commerce wishes
to call attention to the fact that the
American Railway Express Co., is
conducting what Is termed q "Per-
feet Package" Campaign throughout
the United States, this month,
One Of the heaviest expenses OF the
express and railway companies, am
ounting to hundreds Of millions Of
dollars annually, is loss and damage
due to improper and insufficient
packing of shipments, If these losses
could be applied TO a reduction In
rates, the relief would be substantial.
10 give an idea Of the utter indif-
ference Of the average shipper it may
be stated that it was necessary to re-
gulate the packing and handling Of
dangerous chemicals and explosives,
by law, in order to make their move
ment possible at all. The old popu-
lar delusion that lot Of far dis
tant multimillionaires, with tainted
money, have to pay for our careless
ness and indifference, and that we
have perfect right to play Jack Hor-
aer with them, is mistake
Practically every loss and damage
claim or suit paid here in Greenwood
is paid by Greenwood business and
Greenwood patrons We are impos-
ing direct tax on all the business
handled by these companies and
needlessly and inexcusably contribut-
ing to High rates" Every badly
packed shipment, every loss or dam
age claim we hand these corporations
is handed back to US with heavy in
terest, for expensive claim depart
ments and court costs have to be add
ed,
Transportation costs have reached
d figure where they are making rates
almost prohibitive. Business is stag |
gering and stagnated under the bur-
den. The time has arrived when ev-
cry necessary expense must be elm
mated, even if legislation Is requir-
ed to secure the proper packing Of
the regulation Of loss and
damage claims, and To keep pedigreed /
stock off railroad tracks.
We must get rid Of the idea that
railroad or express corporation is
simply public goat with golden
'leece, to be burdened with our sins
and plucked ad libitum. They are
business necessity and business pro-
position in which we are directly in
crested. We can't add to their bur
lens without adding to our own. So
pack your shipments carefully and
mark them plainly, for you pay both
he freight and the claims.
