rlculture. forsees better times in 1922.
In telegram to the editorofa west
ern agricultural paper he dnres TO
prophesy. Also he tells the farmers
what they should work for. advice
that is no less interesting than his
predicHon. Here il his statement:
"Ihe agricultural outlook for 1922
Is favorable. We should see marked
Improvement over conditions as they
have existed this year. Time will be
required for full recovery. but we
have reached the bottom and are on
the upgrade.
"The most important things far
mers should work for are the perfec-
tion OF their cooperative selling or
ganizations with a view to putting
the marketing of farm products on a
thoroughly sound business basis,
and the careful study of needs of the
consumer and intelligent adjustment
OF production to these needs"

SENSE FROM WALL STREET

What America needs most is re-
yival of piety, the kind mother and
father used To have piety that count
ed it good business to stop for daily
family prayers before breakfast, right
In the middle of the harvest; that
quit work half hour earlier Thurs
day night, so as to get the choIes
done and go to prayer meetings that
borrowed money to pay the preach
er's salary and prayed fervently in
secret for the salvation of tie rich
man who looked with scorn on such
unbusiness- like behavior. What is
this thing which we are worshiping,
but the vain repetition of what de-
cayed nations fell down and wor-
shipped just before their light went
outs Great wealth never made a
nation substantial nor honorable.
There is nothing ON earth that
looks good that is so dangerous for a
man or a nation to handle as quick,
easy, big money. If you do resist its
deadly Influence the chances are
that it will get your son. 1t takes
greater and finer heroism to dare to
be poor in America than to charge a
trench. Wall Street Journal.

HOME COMING DAY

Agricultural College, Miss, Nov. q
Announcing in concise, snappy terms
the outstanding features for "Dad's
Day" or Homecoming Day. which
is scheduled for Saturday December
8, j. Wendell (Bennie) Bailey, A,
and M. Alumni Secretary, has pre-
pared a general letter which is being
sent to each Alumnus of this coll sge
far and near.
This letter announces as follows:
To all A, and M. Men and former
Students:
December is Homecoming Day
All Alumni and former students
know what that means. and you
have doubtless been feeling the call
to come home" 80 you can be with
US on that day. Whether you have
been out of school one year or forty
years you still crave to be here again
with the old crowd, the old friends.
The whols college community il
planning to give yea the best time
you've had in many year. All day
Friday will be devoted to seeing
the big educational plant in operation
A regimental parade will be given at
4 p. M. by the cadet corps. On Fri
day night there will be a band con-
cert and an, Intercollegiate debate.
l.. S. U. vs.. A. M. Saturday morning
will be devoted to seeing the entire
college farm-over twenty-five hund.
red acres. You will not have to
walk as the car owners of Starkville
and campus will provide free trans
portation. The students have ar
ranged for noon-hour luncheon, for
which there will be 25 cent charge
at which few short snappy talks
will be made and the final touches
for the old-time parade with stunts

pected to get in line and go to Scott
Field where the A. and NJ. Bulldogs

this fall we believe that l.. 8. U. will
be a victim and not victor. We
have Won our last two tilts with
Louisiana. Do you still feel the tense
moments before the kickoff, the
thrill of the fight and the tingle Of
the spirit Of the game? fyou do it

ers where You can see the big Maroon
Machine in action.
Following the game will of course

SOMEBODY

Somebody has been praying" re-
marked Lord Kitchener when news
came that the German army had be-
gun to retreat after advancing to
the very gates of Paris. The moment
GUS events at the Washington con-
ference inspire the same thought.
The praying on this occasion has
gone up from the heart and soul oi
every right-minded man and woman
throughout the world. Vigilance
must be exercised lest the humane
farseeing, righteous proposals OF
Americas statesmen be not destroy
cd by those who live by the sword
and the battleship. Let us be quick
to resent accepting war-tainted or
ders from them. Let us insist that
hey do our peace-inspired bidding.
For many centuries war has been
..the sport OF kings" We have, In
our slowly-evolving enlightenment,
almost done away with kings. Let
us wholly do away with was.

LAMAR RAY IN BEHIND US
WRITES ABOUT DEMOCRATS m oREsoH

(Our readers will remember that
we made an editorial "slip" q week
or 80 ago. We got our wires crossed
and had Lamar Ray inadvertently
linked up with Republican paper.
We made amends in the following
issue which, ere this, is likely in La.
mar Rays hands.
Our readers are always glad to-
hear from their former Editor and
we wish he had time to write us Of
ten regarding his new home. Be-
yond the pleasure of hearing from q
friend his contributions would have
an educational value. Don't miss
Rays article Of next week. The

The Neshoba Democrat., 1921-12-01

You may be the cleverest fellow
who ever walked In shoe leather, but
II you are not dependable. you are
little likely to attain and retain sue
cess II | were asked to sum up In
two words a recipe for getting on in
the world, l would reply, "Be de-
pendable." Unless an employer can
depend absolutely upon an employee,
of what use is the employees clever
ness or ability? Modern business is
such a network of team-play that If
any one member of the team fails to
do bis part, whole chain of unfor-
tunate happenings are liable to fol-
low. The employee who plays his
employer false by failure to carry
out g stipulated duty may be liken-
ed to link that snaps in chain,
injuring the efficacy OF the whole
chain.
Running a business to-day entails
so Ihany complex responsibilities
thatan employer cannot afford to
have around him a single employee
whoin he cannot crust to perform
duties assigned to him. There is
enough to worry about without
having to worry as to whether this
employee or the next employee can
be depended upon to do his part. To
retain an employee who cannot be
depended upon tends to demoralize
an Organization; other employees
who discover that neglect OF duty is
not followed first by disciplinary
measures and, If persisted In, by dis
missal, naturally come to feel that
1T doesn't matter very much wheth-
er faithful service Is rendered or not.
1t is far more important to be de-
pendahle than to be smart. Smart
ness or cleverness without dependa-
bility Is an asset no employer can
afford to buy; it is not an asset but
a liability. The same principle holds
good in regard to business concerns.
No one wants to have anything to
do with a concern that repeatedly
proves that it connot be depended
upon. When you place an order you
want to feel sure that the order will
be filled according to agreement No
enterprise can earn the highest repu-
tation unless it earns record for
dependability.
Did you notice, by the way. that
Chauncey M. Depew never broke a
speaking engagement in sixty five
years--until compelled to do so the
other day through indisposition?
Roosevelt was like that. No matter
how busy, no matter what emergen-
cies might arise, he never failed to
live up to contract. Editors discoy-
cred that, II Roosevelt promised to
deliver an article by a certain date,
the article was delivered regardless
OF any and every obstacle which
would have Afforded a less dependa-
BILE person excellent excuse for falling
down.
Ifyou want to succeed, be depend.
able. Forbes.

STANDING ON HOLY GROUND.

When President Harding closed
his speech ut the grave of the un-
known soldier ON Armistice Day
with the Lords Prayer, and the
Disarmament Conference was open.
ed by prayer, this nation gave to
the, world an expression OF it's reliance
upon Almighty God in marked con
trast with the Versailles Peace Con-
ference, where there was no recogni-
tion wha tever OF God. An air OF
profound religious ntiment brood
ed over Washington during Armistice
Day, which touched every heart.
Men seemed to realize that they
stood on holy ground. 1t seemed as
though earth was cpammed with
Heaven and every bush was afire
with God, az Mrs. Browning sang OF
old. The message that went forth
to every corner Of the world, the
message that was read or heard by
every intelligent man and woman to
earth's remotest bounds, was a mes
sage that thrilled all mankind with
new and deeper realization OF the
meaning OF Christianity as the only
source through which there can come
peace and righteousness to sin and
war cursed world.
The greatest sermon ever preached
since Calvary, the most widely read
message to mankind to trust In God
that ever touched SO many hearts
since the morning stars sang to-
gether," was the spirit of Armistice
Day and OF the opening of the Con-
erence.
Had President Harding one moth
ing else in all his life than to close
his address with the Lords Prayer
and to have the Conference opened
with prayer, he would have render
ed humanity service of inestimable
value, and hastened the coming of
the day when the drum beat shall
cease, and when war. shall be no
more, through a worldwide accepta-
tion OF Him whose miraculous birth
was heralded by the song of the an
gelic chorus to the enraptured shep-
herds on Judea's plain
GLORY to God In the highest,
On earth peace to men of good
will"
Ii this spirit shall prevail through
out the Conference then indeed may
the world see the fulfillment OF the
prophets vision when he said:--
"How beautiful upon the noun
tains are the feet OF him that bring
eth good tidings, that publisheth
peace; that bringeth good tidings of
good. that publisheth salvation;
that saith unto Zion, Thy God reign
eth!
"Thy watchman shall lift up the
voice; with the voice together shall
they sing: for they shall see eye to
eye, when the Lord shall bring again
Zion.
"Break forth into Joy, sing togeth-
er, We waste places OF Jerusalem: for
the Lord hath comforted his people,
he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
"The Lord hath made bare his
holy arm In the eyes OF all the ma
tions; and all the ends of the earth
shall see the salvation of our Cod"

HIS LETTER
Mr.. Editor:

interest the sledgehammer blows
you are welding for the advancement
OF the county educationally and in-
dustrially.
Wea are just in receipt of the issue
of the 10th quoting the articles from
the Oregonian of this city. Our whole
family from the least one up is up IN
arms against youfor paying we were

Oregonian is hated here by all dem

as much as the Jackson News is hat
ed by the followers of Mr.. Varda.
man and Tom Watson, and that is
mating some" as you know. This
city has four daily papers and the
Journal is the only one OF the four
that is democratic. We have not
yet turned republican since coming
70 where they predominate. We are
stronger and.pride ourselves in being
democrat more than ever before.
1t seems to mean SO much more here
than 1T did south where ever ssismn
and list" is called democracy and
all followers voting thaMdemocraie

nnd our experience is the same 40
others who came here from other
sections, they pride themselves In
their loyalty to the party. We are
In small minority but are quite q
militant band and very often put mp
candidate so strong as to command
enough votes from the republicans
to land him in office.
The editor of the Journal is prom.
inently spoken of as the democratie
candidate for governor. He is q
man who can be pointed out to as an
inspiration to the young Of our couu-
try. He is man about 30 years OF
age, has been totally blind for many
years, has to be led wherever he goes
but in spite of this handicap writes
three columns Of editorials every day
In the year. not having missed q
single day in the past two years. He
writes brilliant editorials on current
live subjects that present themselves
from the general news of the day.
He is sound on the race question
| The position Of the daily papers Of
this section is very amusing from
the fact We have race question OF
our own, (the Japanese question:
which is now uppermost in the Dis.
armament Meeting at Washington.
No state in the South compares with
Oregon, Washington or California In
the treatment of this question. ORR.
