FOR MEETING OF
nat. PROHL. COM.
TO BE HELD IN CHICAGO ON
NOVEMBER THIRTIETH-A
MEMORIAL MEET
ING.
Associated Press

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.--A call was is
sued today for meeting of the Pro-
hibition National Committee for this
city on November 80. The call states
further:
"A National Prohibition Conference
will be held in Chicago. on November
Goth, the day preceding the National
Committee Meeting, beginning at 10 a.
m. The evening meeting will be un-
der the auspices of the Prohibition
Foundation and our Prohibition dele
gates from the great World Anti-Al-
eoholic Congress in Switzerland will
speak.
"The first hour Of the evening Of
November 80, from s to 8 pm. will be
devoted to a National Eugene Chafin
Memorial Meeting.
"Matters of the utmost Importance
relating to our part in the great
World Prohibition Movement will be
discussed at both meetings. The duty
of maintaining prohibition in our own
country through a strict enforcement
of the Eighteenth Amendment to the
Federal Constitution is the subject
to be considered, since the United
States must furnish the object lesson
and inspiration, nor will our nation
long remain dry if prohibition laws
are not enforced.
Attendance Of these meetings by
all who believe in enforcement is
therefore most earnestly urged. 1t is
imperative that every member of the
Prohibition National Committee and
every State Chairman shall be present
at the Prohibition Committee meeting
November 30th. Seldom has meet
ing Of such Importance been called.
No state should be unrepresented."

NEW ORLEANS COTTON LETTER
(From Jno. F. Clark 4 Co.
by Abe SiIver.)

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 21.--A
cable was received yesterday from
one of the largest English Dry Goods
houses to the effect that at only a
slight further increase in the value
of the Indian rupee, India would buy
cloth heavily.
The large reaction in our market
yesterday did not come entirely as a
surprise. Despite much bullish in
ducement and push by leaders gen.
eral support hesitated because fu-
lures were too far ehea1 Of spot pri-
ces.
This drawback was suddenly cor
rected by the reaction in the after
noon in futures while spots were ad-
vanced fifty points with the tone
firm. The relation between spot and
futures is now again bullish as spots
are at premium.
Wall Street Review gives further
reason for the reaction such as the
prediction of sharp contrasts during
session Of congress which is open
ing today and hesitation over the
foreign situation TO which attention
was drawn by the new and larger
reaction in continental exchange
rates.
The firmer spot quotations, resist
ance at Liverpool and bullish condi-
ton forecasts are likely to produce
buying bulges again today but the
disposition to realize on them may
also be maintained.
Weather map shows an approach
ing change to bad weather. Gener-
ally fair over Southeastern quarter
Of the belt but cloudy rest Of the
belt. Precipitation over the Caroli-
mas and ports Of Arkansas. Temper
atures over the middle rockies have
dropped to near freezing. While con-
ditions today over the south may re-
main 4 stationary fast and marked
changes are likely to follow toward
the week end.

ASK CONGRESS
TOENACT ALAW
TOCOMPEL CITY
OFFICIALS TO OBEY 0ATHS OF
OFFICE IN ENFORCING
18TH AMEND
= MENT.
Associated Press

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.--An appeal I'd
congress to enact law to compel city
officials to obey their oaths Of office
in enfoting the 18th amendment has
been made in the form Of resolution
passed by the Chicago Law and Order
league with assurance that it will be
brought up in congress during the
next few days.
The resolution, after asserting that
while Mayor Thompson Of this city
has announced that all Of his appoin-
tees have been instructed TO enfore
the law, states that there are not less
than $500 "dry bars" in the city OF
Chicago where intoxicating liquor is
sold "and the principal offenders in
permitting this situation to continue
are the mayor of Chicago and the Cen
eral Superintendent of Police
The resolution states that Chief of
Police Fitzmorris of Chicago stated
before witnesses that "as long as the
government allows intoxicating liquor
to be shipped into Chicago / will not
mop it up"
The resolution then continues:
Now, when the mayor Of Chicago
and his general superintendent Of po-
lice take the position that we have
shown to you that they have taken,
and the conditions as to the illegal
sale Of Intoxicating liquor in Chicago
are very bad, and when the mayor and
Chief of Police have under them some
5000 policemen, we believe that the
time has come in the history Of this
government to find out whether there
is not law that will reach officials
Of great city like Chicago, who
practically nullify the eighteenth
Amendment to the Constitution. The
time has come when the government
Of United States, if there is no law
to compel the officials to obey their
oaths Of office, ought to enact such
a law and we appeal to the Senate
and House at Washington and ask that
il necessary, law be passed to cover
such cases as this.
"One of the dangers to the per-
manency Of this great republic is that
in the great cities lawlessness prevails
the constitution is disobeyed, and what
may be the result? A great country
may go down from the vice and law
lessness and deviltry Of the great
cities"
The resolution was proposed by Ar
thur Burnage Farwell, president Of
the Chicago Law and Order League
and copies sent to both the Vice Pres
ident and Speaker Of the House with
the request that a committee be ap-
pointed to investigate the situation
in Chicago relative to the "nullifica-
tion of the eighteenth Amendment" /"

THE REVIVAL
MEETINGS AT
The First Baptist Church Are In
creasing In Interest--Large Con-
gregation Present Last Night.

The First Baptist Church was
crowded last night again, with all the
aisle space filled with chairs,
Mr.. Butler was especially happy in
his leading of the audience, and in his
solo singing.
1t was the end Of a busy day for
him, as he had spoken and sung at the
High School in the morning and also
at the Rotary Club at noon.
Last night he sang as solo Back
To My Father And Home" always a
favorite with those who have heard
him in other days. The audience
seemed delighted to join him in sing
ing the old songs, such as Il will arise
and go to Jesus" and "I'm bound for
The promised land"
His accompanist, Royal Klintworth,
Is real artist, not only in playing
gospel songs, but is also pianist OF
more than ordinary ability. He is a
lover of Bach, and has delighted the
congregation with his interpretations
Of that great artists music, which
he plays as preludes to the evening
service.
DR.. Storer had for his subject last
night the text II am the light of the
world He spoke of Jesus as the "Ro-
setta Stone' pof the world, asserting
that what that stone was to the un-
folding of the mysteries Of the Egyp-
tan pictured language, Christ was to
the solving if the worlds greatest
questions.
These he considered the most inn
portant that man could ask namely:
What is the real character of God?
What is the relationship between man
and man? What is the real meaning
Of life? What lies beyond the grave! !!
What shall be the relationship be-
tween shining human being and a
slnless God?
10 each Of these questions he said
only Christ had the answer.
The audience gave the closest at
tention, and was very yisibly moved.
There were five additions to the
church, three for baptism and two
by letter.

PREVENTION OF

GREAT DOCTOR. AUTHOR, Ed
TOR AND TEACHER AID
DRESSES MEDICAL So
ClETY AT AM0RY

AM0RY, Miss, Sept. 2l.--Dr, W,
A, Evans of Chicago, author, editor
and teacher, formerly Of Aberdeen,
Monroe County, Miss, spoke to large
audience of friends and admirers at
the Baptist Chuhch Monday afternoon,
DIR, Evans was at his best and the
membership Of the medical society of
tha IL East Mississippi counties, in
session here, gave him u vote of
thanks for his presence and mognif-
icent address.
Besides the medical society quite a
number of lay people were present,
which included ministers, lawyers,
business men, farmers and, best of
all a goodly number Of women and
children. The doctor motored from
Camp Kilkare to Amory, accompan-
led by several friends. His subject
was "The Broader Aspect of the Pre-.
vention of Disease
He said in part;
Health is and will always remain,
a fundamental value Of life, practical
ly inseparable from life itself. Yet
on every side the world over we are
confronted by the fact that health. in
cluding normal physical development,
longevity and splendid bodily resist
ance, is being only inadequately
achieved by millions of people, When
one-third of all the children born with
such a cost into q civilized communi-
ty like America die before the age of
five, when the draft disclosed that
more than one.thiyd Of the flower of
Americas manhood was physically un-
fit for military service, when the av-
erage term of life of our people is
some 20 years shorter than it should
be, and when illness, deformities and
multifarious physical defects are re-
Elections on the race with an immense
and overburdening cost, IL would seem
that every agency which the state
has at its disposal would be vigorous
ly engaged in preventing and elimi-
mating from the world, or lessening TO
a fraction of their present destruct-
iveness, these enemies Of health and
vitality. But instead Of universal
and united resistance to q common fbe
we find people in every county, in
every state, who do not cooperate
and often oppose the good work Of
health departments.
Some physiciaas afe indifferent
and neglectful OK their own best inter
ests in that they do not cooperate
fully in freeing mankind Of the ills
which beset them on every hand"
The doctors remarks on diphtheria
was the latest word on this disease
and was spoken in language that any
layman could comprehend. Dr. Evans
will be the guest Of the Aberdeen Ro-
tary Club Thursday, at which time
the Columbus club will be guests Of
the Aberdeen Club.

RUSSIAN ANTI-S0vIETs MEET
Former Premier kerensky Declares
Any Concessions Granted by
Lenine Will Be AnnuIIed.

Paris. Jan. - Following the first
session of the Russian constitutional
assembly, in its first meeting since
1917, Kerensky, former Russian pre-
mier, declared that any concession for
trade or otherwise granted by the
soviet government, will be annulled
when the constitutional government
returns to Russia.
"vanderlip's concessions, of which
there have been so much talk. are
most immoral because it enslaves the
Russian people by exploiting them
against their will," said Kerensky.
"This would be true of any other con-
cession granted by a government not
representing Russia.
"England's trade pact, which is es-
sentiaTly political recognition of the
soviets, and defining the British
spheres of influence in the near
Orient will also be invalidat@d when
the constitutional government re-
turns"
