R. |. FARMER PRAISES
THE CAPITAL CITY
New Manager Of Gressett Music
House Here Considers 1t Best City
In State.

"You don't have to live in Jack
son very long to find that it is the
most progressive city in the State,
said R. l.. Farmer yesterday in talk
ing with a representative of the Clar-
ion-Ledger
Mr.. Farmer has recently moved
here with his interesting family, and
is manager of the Gressett Music
House, which firm he has been with
for about twenty years. He is great
ly impressed with Jackson from ev-
cry standpoint; as city of schools
and churches and good people as well
as trade center, and beehive of
industry.
81 have been coming to Jackson
for many years." he said; "gen-
orally l would transact my business
and go back to the hotel, so l did not
come to know the people, and realize
fully the many advantages possessed
by the Capital City. But l like ii
here better every day."
Jackson is always glad to have
in. her midst boosters like Mr.
Farmer. He and his people have
been prominent in east Mississippi
affairs for many years, and now that
he is a resident of Jackson he will
contribute his part toward keeping
this city in the fuefront.-Clarion-
Ledger.

BAD ROADS.

1t seems that the taxpayers of
this county pay enough tax, if the
money was judiciously expended, to
keep the roads in a better condition.
On some of the roads bad places are
allowed to go unfxed for n longer
time than necessary. When, as a
rule, we have mighty good roads in
Lafayette county and they ought to
be looked after more carefully. For
instance, the road leading to Water
Valley through the Markette Farm,
there are two or three very bad places
on this stretch of road, in which au-
tomobiles frequently get stuck. One
hundred dollars would put this piece
of road in first class condition. We
do not know whether this particular
piece of road is kept up by the county
or not, if not it certainly should be,
as it is one of the most travelled roads
leading into Oxford.
Again, our attention has been call
ed to some bad places on the La
fayette Springs road which should
have the attention of the board of
supervisors.
1t is these bad places that should
have the immediate attention. Mere
ly dragging a little loose dirt over a
mudhole will not do. The holes
should be fixed substantially and
properly drained and then they would
give no more trouble.

APRIL IL is DATE
SET FOR CONGRESS
FIRST SESSION. UNDER NEW AID
MINISTRATl0N.
Announcement Received With Salts
faction by Senate
Leaders.

Washington, March 14.-April II
was selected today as the date for
the special session of the siXty-sev-
enth congress, the first to be held
under President Hardings's admins
tration. The announcement was re-
ceived with general satisfaction by
senate leaders, most of whom said
they preferred that date to April 4,
because Of the additional week it
gave them to arrange plans for the
coming session.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,
the Republican leader, notified the
senate OF the presidents decision late
today after he and Senator Under
wood Of Alabama, minority leader,
had returned from the white house.
They had gone to the president with
a message from the senate that it
stood ready 30 adjourn sine die un-
less there was need for it TO remain
il session to receive executive mes
sages or act upon additional ap-
poimtmcntS to governmental offices.
The president, however, requested
the senate to meet at II O'Clock to-
morrow when he said he expected to
submit names Of nominees for ''im-
portant Offices" vacated by the reSig-
nations of Democratic appointees.
1t was said tonight that sine die
adjournment probably would be taken
late tomorrow.

DOLLAR DAY AT
OXFORD SATURDAY
MARCH 26
Thousands OF People Will Have An
Opportunity OF Securing Bargains
On That Day-Eagle 81 On 26th

The Dollar Day on Jan. 20 proved
such big success that many of the
merchants and business people of
Oxford want another Dollar Day. We
have decided to join them and will on
that day, only, offer the Oxford Eagle
one year for one dollar. This will
positively be the last chance in long
time to secure the paper for one dol
lar for a whole year.
Many newspapers over the country
are putting on prize contests in order
to swell their circulation. In the
prize contest the subscriber pays the
full price for the paper. By our
plan-the dollar day plan-every sub
scriber is benefited by taking advan-
tage of the opportunity.
Two hundred and seventy people
took advantage to the last dollar Of
fer. On the 26th we want 500 new
subscribers, and we are sure to get
them, unless something terrible hap
pens.
The Eagle is the best county paper
published in the State and is well
worth the subscription price of 81 pei
year. Remember the date and do
not fail to take advantage of this OPP
portunity. You can subscribe fol
five years if you chose to do so.

GO To WORK.

Many people are of the opinion
that now that the new administration
is in office and its views are fairly
well known, there should be no fur
ther delay in the revival of business
throughout the country.
Every change of Administration
brings it period Of doubt and uncer-
tainty. The mo2eyed interests do not
know just how far it is safe to go,
hence they set the brakes and mark
time by a temporary curtailment OF
expenditures. This produces a natur-
al slump in business that is designat-
ed by some as hard times.
Mr.. Harding has indicated that he
desiles q conservative but progress
sive administration, free from en-
tangling foreign alliances, and with
the election that should be afforded
leg innate business interests in every
sectiol Of the country.
1t is time for big business to get
down to the steady grind again, and
foe little business to hit the same
pace.
Everybody go to work at some
thing!

WHY SUCH AN EFFORT?

Sometimes people look upon at
tendance at church as a duty which
must be performed, and vet one
which requires more or less of an eff
fort.
When we 90 to a show we pay the
price to see performers reproduce
scenes of everyday life that are old
to mankind. It affords us the change
our natures require and we are salts
fed.
At every church service the minis
ter tells US something we did not
know before. He extracts his infor-
mation from a source that can not be
questioned, from a book that never
grows old, from the feuntainhead OF
truth end knowledge.
The pages of the Bible contain
more thrilling stories and more as
founding wonders thaa all other
prints of civilization oombined-and
every worlds truth.
All of this is yours for the going,
as free as the air that you breathe.
There is no ticket taker at the door,
, and no, admission is charged. You
are welcome without price. Can
you ask more3

FILMS TO BE CLEANER.
Leaders In Industry Start Campaign
Against Indecent Pictures.

New York, March 11.-Plans to
prevent the production of question
able films and to preclude the eXploi-
tation of pictures in a manner often
sive to good taste, were embodied IN
resolutions adopted by the National
Association of the Motion Picture In
dustry, made public here today. The
association, which represents most OF
the motion picture producers and dis
tributors in the United States, pro-
tested against films "arousing bawdy
emotions, pandering to salacious
curiosity or in any manner injurious
to public welfare"
If the producers do not live up to
this standard, the resolution threat
ened them with expulsion, and declar-
ed the association would assist in the
criminal prosecution of offenders.
The resolution banned films that
are "obscene, salacious, indecent and
immoral" those which ''cmphasize
and exaggerate sex appeal" those
Chased on commercialiZed vice." OF
which make drunkenness, gambling
OF the. use of narcotics attractive.
The lid also was clamred on "scenes
which unnecessarily pro!ong express
sions or demonstrations of passionate
love" or particularly suggestive bed
room and bathroom scenes and scenes
of melting dancing" those exhibiting
nakedness or scanty attire, or those
which instruct the feeble-minded in
methods of committing crime"
Protest also was voiced against
stories or scenes ridiculing public of
ficials, policemen, sailors, soldiers,
ministers, priests or rabbis.

CLARKSDALE BANK
CLOSES IT'S DOORS
Delta Bank & Trust Company May
Reopen.

Clai.ksdale, Miss, March To-
The Delta Bank & Trust Company of
this city this morning presented
closed doors to depositors, the bust
ness Of the institution having, accord
ing to bank officials, been tempoarl-
~ suspended with the permission of
the state bank examiners, owing to
the inability of the bank to collect a
large part of its outstanding indebt-
edness. The bank cash fund has be-
come greatly depleted and it will be
necessary for an increase in its cash
assets through some other channel.
President r. n McWilliams, Vice
Presidents Gerald FitzGerald and j.
w. McNair and Cashier T. c. Coulter
went to Memphis to consult officials
of corresponding banks, the object of
this conference being to secure money
to meet the needs of the local insti-
tuition. }. w. Cutrer, prominent local
attorney, is with the bank officials,
acting in the capacity of legal adj
wiser. The employees here worked last
night until midnight preparing the
data and Information for submission
before today's conference.
Assistant Cashier T. C. Johnson
who is in charge of the bank today,
said this morning: ''The bank Off
GERS are today making arrangements
to get mope money to reopen within
a few days, probably by Monday OF
next week. We have only temporarily
suspended business, the suspension
being due to our inability to collect
outstanding accounts. The directors
will consult with officials of CORE
spending banks today and no Difficult
ty is anticipated in raising necessary
money. Our depositors will be paid
in full, dollar for dollar, and we will
soon resume our regular routine OF
business"
The Delta Bank & Trust Company
had $150,000 capital and $4,000 sur
plus Deposits a week ago approx
mated S1,015,000.
After long conference at the Gay
oso Hotel last night with representa-
tives of eight of the largest creditors
of the Delta Bank G. Trust Company
officials of the bank announced that
the creditors would not allow an eX-
tension of time in spite of the fact
that million dollars additional col
lateral had been offered them. Before
the conference it was hoped that ar
agreement could be reached and the
bank could open its doors imnfedi-
ately.
The predicament was ascribed en-
tirely to lack of sufficient collateral
to satisfy the demands of the credit
ors. The bank was absolutely sol
vent, and the creditors fully secured
according to Gerald FitzGerald. He
declared that the creditors were in
possession of approximately $2,6OOOOC
of collateral to cover debts aggregat-
ing $l,100,000.
Likewise the Memphis correspon-
dent bank is fully secured, according
to Mr.. FitzGerald.
He stated that farmers depending
upon the bank for loans to make their
1921 crops would be protected.

MINSTREL LAST NIGHT
WAS GREAT SUCCESS

The Negro minsterl given by the
an" Club and Music Club of the
University at Lyric theatre last night
was a big success. The house was
packed with people and the show was
exceptionally good. While it was all
home talent those taking part are to
be congratulated upon the splendid
way in which each played his part.
The Quartet was great and the
boys taking part were applauded and
called back the third time.
Mrs. Beanland, the music director
won praise for the splendid music
rendered. The University band
which is second to none in the state
furnished music for the occasion.
Messrs. DoXey, Williams, Henry
and Jernigen, the end men, kept the
house in a roar and pulled some
laughable jokes on number of the
students and faculty of the Univer-
Sity.

POST OFFICE LOBBY
TO Be LOCKED
EARLY AT NIGHT

The locking of the postoffice lobby
early at night will Inconvenience
many patrons of the Oxford post
office who have boxes rented, and de-
sire to get their mail after 8 o'clock
At present, those having letters to
mail will have to mail them early at
night or wait until the next morn
ing.
A letter box has been ordered which
will be placed at the curbstone in
front of the office to accommodate
those wishing to mail letters, but this
will not help those who, may be out
of town until a late hour and return
to get their mail from the boxes they
pay rent for.
1t occurs to us that a clerk should
be kept at the office until II o'clock
at night.
This new ruling was posted at the
postoffice Monday morning. 1t is re-
ported that the postoffice lobby had
been used at nights for gathering
place.
