M'KENzIE POSTOFFCE
MADE SECOND-CLASS
Increase of Business and Cen
eral Growth Of Town Has
Made This Possible

The Mckenzie postofice has
been made second class Office.
The change was made d few weeks
ago. This change was made pos
sible by an increase 10 the business
of the Office, and this increase
came as q result of the growth Of
the business of the town.
Mckenzie has been growing
rapidly for the last few years both
in population and business and
this advance in the postofice is a
positive evidence of that growth.
This advance step is not only a
compliment to the town but makes
the Office more desirable job for
the postmaster and employees, as
it means higher salaries and more
help.

IN YOUR IDLE HOURS.

While resting in the cool shade
these hot days why not let yoIl
thoughts dwell upon Oxford and
countryside-upon what they need
what you can do for them, and upon
how you can spur others to create
exertions in behalf of our community
life?
They need more thought, deeper
concentrations, greater action.
Many a great and ennobling deed
receives its inception in an idle mcA1-
ent. The hours of work and action
serve but to expand AMI aevetop it.
1t might be so with that Idle
thought of yours, with chs commun-
ity of ours.
No town is ever so perlacf but what
it might become a hundred per cent
more so. Even Oxford is no exception
to the rule.
Cool off in the shade if you feel 50
inclined
Let your thoughts wander afield,
and gather in the ideas of fancy that
may later crystalize into a greater and
better community development.
We add new coat of paint to our
house and gaze upon the finished
product with pride. Its improved
appearance more than justifies the
labor and expense.
And if improvement is good for the
home of the individual, why not for
the community as whole?
Let your hours of idleness beget
others of energy and aggressiveness.
1t ennobles yourself and enhances
your value to the community.
1t develops the community ard IN
creases its value to you.

SMALL TOWN VS.. BIG CITY.

For years it has been a favorite
amusement of the large city dailies to
refer to the local news contained in
the country press as "small town
stuff"
1t pleases the city dweller to read it
at his breakfast table.
1t emphasizes the superiority of
metropolitan wisdom"
And we of the country press are
content to let it go at that, with a
passing word or two of comment.
The "small town stuff" which fur
nishes SO much amusement to our city
friends may be homely in its phrase
ology-it may be unimportant as COM
pared to the vital affairs of the world
but it possesses the merit of being
the truth.
The average country publisher does
not resort to misrepresentation and
sensationalism in the columns of his
paper. His news articles and items
ARE composed of facts as. he finds
them, and they are not doctored or
colored for the purpose of pleasing
any class or faction, or for the build
ing up of huge subscription list.
When he takes a stand editorially
ton any public question, be it local,
state or national, he has in view the
welfare of the people as whole, and
not the interests of some political
faction or machine.
His columns may not contain an
overplus of news, but such as there
is may be read with perfect safety by
the growing children of the commua-
ity without parental fear of instilling
questionable thoughts and desires in
their budding minds.
His paper may be small, and pro-
vincial, but it is clean.
The reader is never at loss to
know whether or not statement made
by the editor is based upon fact, or
whether it is composed principally of
what is commonly known as "news-
paper bunk
The publisher of any big daily who
can legitimately and truthfully say as
much for his own paper is at liberty
to amuse himself at our expense to
his hearts content.
1t will be viewed by us in spirit
of fellowship and brotherly love.

3. The farm bureau to hold in re-
serve a reasonable percentage from
the settlement, for grading, from the
day cotton is sold to the day on which
Lit is delivered, until all adjustments
on cost of marketing are disposed of,
and after which the remaining portion
of the proceeds shall be paid to the
individual producer or controller of
the said cotton. The producer or con-
troller of the cotton so handled agrees
to his liability to the farm bureau as
his marketing agency in the sum of
SIS. each per bale, for any cotton pro-
duced or controlled by him during the
year 1921, and which he may fail by
refusal to sell upon the agreed terms.
This form of agreement was con-
sidered at length by the general con-
ference, and with the exception of a
few minor notifications, was adopted
as representing the sense of the con-
vention proper. As adopted it will
be referred to each county farm
bureau unit; those now functioning
or which may be perfected during the
period embraced in the agreement.
Director Wilson and associates ex-
pressed the belief that the plan is
about as strong and workable as
could possibly be drafted, and he will
commend it to the respective agents
and specialists for study of the condi-
lions embraced, in Orderly that they
might intelligently and effectively as
sist the farmers in putting their cot
ton on the market to the best advant-
age possible.
It is also recognized that the sue
cess of this plan viii depend on the
way in which the individual farmers
may be induced to unite with the farm
bureau and cooperate in bringing
about its successful and effective APP
plication.

POTATO STORAGE HOUSE URGED
TO CLEAN UP.

Agricultural College, Miss.-July
25.-A letter has recently been mailed
to the managers of all sweet potato
storage houses in Mississippi by the
Chief Inspector of the State Plant
Board, urging them to clean out their
houses thoroughly this summer and
to disinfect carefully the houses,
crates, and all other equipment ac-
cording to the directions of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
in oredr to destroy any disease spores
which may be present.
If this advice is followed it means
a saving of thousands of dollars of the
potato growers of the State as several
cases were known last winter where
storage houses became centers of in
lection and spread Black Rot and
Stem Rot all over the surrounding
communities. So important is this
disinfection, that wherever possible
the Plant Board will have an inspector
visit the storage houses to assist in
the work. It is hoped that all stor-
age houses in the state will avail
themselves of this assistance and
carry out the measures necessary to
protect the interestssof their patrons.

RESPONSIBILITY
OF THE PARENT.

Many parents lose sight of the fact
that the vacation period is one of
grave danger to the growing child.
The boy or girl just out of school
feels like the Gagged bird that is sud-
denly released from its captivity. 1t
glories in its freedom to the exclusion
of all else.
Many of the lessons in department
that have been learned in the class
room are gradually forgotten as the
child finds its way to the street.
There is no room in it's heart for
anything but the glories of the pres
ent, unless the parental hand is ever
guiding its steps. The future is a
sealed book which will be opened only
too soon for its purpose.
Herein the function of the parent
becomes of double Importance to the
future life of the child, for the care
full work and training of the teacher
must be carried on through the days
and weeks of the vacation period, not
to the extent of hampering the child
in its rest and recuperation from
classroom confinement, or depriving
it of the innocent pleasures of life,
but rather the daily impressing upon
its young mind the necessity for con-
tinuing the rules of conduct learned
in its hours of study.
Children are quick to learn and
equally quick to forget. An impress
ion may sink deep today and be for
gotten by tomorrow, but if it is re-
peatedly brought to the attention of
the juvenile brain it will eventually
take deep root and live.
The teacher is responsible to the
parent for the proper instruction of
the child during its hours of study,
but the parent has a double respon-
sibility-to both the teacher and the
chiId-the responsibility of safeguard
ing the work of both.

NOTICE TO STUDENTS.

Students who are not graduates
from affiliated high schools and who
expect to enter the freshman class of
either of the state colleges this fall,
may take their entrance examinations
on August 18th at either of the fol-
lowing places: Holly Springs, Acker-
man, Tupelo, Moorehead, Clarksdale,
Grenada, Brookhaven, Meridian, Jack
son, Hattiesburg, and Gulfport.
Through these examinations the
University, the A. & M. College, and
the M. s. G. w. are trying to reach
the boys and girls who have been dis
couraged from going to college be-
cause they hesitate to attempt en-
trance by means of examination.
These who take the examinations
will be required to take one in Eng
lish, covering grammar, composition,
and literature; one in history, covering
ancient, modern and American; one in
mathematics covering arithmetic,
algebra, and plane geometry; and they
may select their fourth one from
Latin, home science, agriculture,
science or modern languages.
All students from accredited schools
but lacking one or more units for en-
trance will be required to take exam
ination in the additional unit which
they seek to offer, and in addition
thereto, another examination in Eng
lish. This examination in English
will be required of them if they wait
to take the entrance examination at
the college to which they wish to go.

ments are under way whereby the pay
ment Of interest is to be delayed fol- a
period of fifteen years.
Our secretary of the treasury states
otherwise, but at the same time he
pays out nearly thirty-five millions Of
dollars to the British government in
oredr to cancel claim for transport
ing American troops and freight to
France in British ships, when by
every rule or right and juseice he
should have caused that claim to be
credited against the billions the Brit
ish government owes us.
Thirty-fve millions would do won
ders for the shamefully neglected
sick and disabled ex-service men in
this country, or it would furnish en-
ployment and relief to many of our
idle millions of men who are facing
restitution and want, but it was not
used for either of these purposes, or
for any other legitimate American
purpose, so far as we can see.
Frankly, we do not understand it,
and neither do the people.
We disclaim any intention or desire
to attack the administration, for this
is a time when we need cooperation in
readjustment rather than criticism
and discord, but unless the secretary
of the treasury can furnish legiti-
mate and all-satisfying reason for his
surprising and amazing action he is
laying the administration open to
serious attack from republicans as
well as democrats.
We are Americans first, and par
tizans afterwards.
Give us light!

BELIEVES TANLAC
KEPT HIM ON JOB
Tulsa Citizen Declares His Wife Was
Also Greatly Benefited By
Taking 1t.

"It was certainly money well spent
when l bought Tanlac, for ! doubt if
! would be able to be on the job. today
if it hadn't been. for this medicine"
said j. E. Chandler, of 80 Olympia St.,
Tulsa, Okla.
"For long time before / got
Tanlac / was troubled with what be-
lieve was rheumatism. had awful
pains and soreness in my shoulders,
and many times my arms were so
stiff and ached so bad / could hardly
raise my hands to my head. | don't
believe | could have been in more mis-
cry had some one been sticking me
with knife, and it was just all could
do to stay on the job. / couldn't find
anything to help me, and | was GER
tainly il bad shape.
81 have taken six bottles of Tanlac,
and it has relieved me of rheumatism
so completely that | never have an
ache or pain and | have regained my
full strength and energy.
"My wife was not we'll and had no
appetite to speak of. She took Tan
lac at the same time l did, and it has
given her such a splendid appetite
that she said to me the other day it
looked like she would eat us out of
house and home. | believe Tanlac is
all that kept me on the job, and there
are so many others in ill health that
| feel it is my duty to tell everybody
/ can about it."
