HISTORY OF LAFAYETTE
COUNTY IN THE WORLD WAR

Lafayette County has no record OF
her soldiers in the World War. AS
each contingent left for camp, the list
of names was sent to the adjutant
general and no one, strangely enough,
thought to keep a duplicate at home.
The War Department at Washington
is compiling a record of soldiers ar
ranged in alphabetical order. but these
names are not grouped by counties.
The Department of Archives and
History at Jackson is endeavoring to
compile the history of Mississippi in
the war and is calling on the women
of the state for help. DR.. Dunbar
Rowland, head of this department,
has called on the chapters of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton throughout the state to compile
the history of their own counties. In
counties where duplicate lists were
kept the work was soon completed.
When David Reese chapter at Oxford
however, was ready to begin work, we
were confronted by the fact that, SO
far as we could learn, Lafayette
County has not the scratch of pen
to show her contribution of her sons
A committee from this chapter has
conferred with the Board of Super
visors and obtained from them list
of ladies, one in each community, who
they think, are able and willing to help
in this patriotic service. A list OF
questions with blanks to be filled out
by each service man, will be sent to
these ladies soon. When these blanks
are filled out, they will be returned ,te
Miss Ella Wright. We shall then
check up our lists by the lists of the
War Department, place each mans
record on separate page and bind these
page sinto book. This book we shall
place among the permanent records
of the county court house.
If you were in the service, if your
son or brother, or husband, or frien6
or acquaintance was in the service
will you not do all in your power tt
help these ladies to make the list OF
soldiers complete? We expect te
print list of the ladies who are te

The Giants won the title, which

defeating the \ Yankees in the eighth
game OF the worlds series at the

by the score of / to O, and the series,
five games to three.
The Giants victory gives Man

Russian farmers impressed him as
singularly similar to the American
farmer of the Middle West.
Mr.. Hoover was to look with favor
upon Mr.. Goodrich's recommendation
for the shipment of American grain
to Soviet Russia, but, in view Of the
necessity for immediate action, Off
Gals believed that it would be mad
visable to attempt to raise funds for
the purchase Of the grain through
voluntary subscription. 1t was indi-
Gated that congress probably would
be called upon to furnish the funds
for supplying the grain to Russia: !,
In this connection it was recalled
that the subject of Russian relief was
undir consideration by the admins
tration at Fridays cabinet meeting.
However, officials declared, any dis
tribution of American grain in Rus
STA would have to be through Ameri-
can hands.
Reports to the commerce depart
nent from the Middle West declared
that a movement was on foot there
to ask congress to appropriate $780,
100000 for the purchase of American
grain to be-Hssd in the relief Of famine
areas in Soviet Russia.

Asks American Grain for
Starring Russians

Washington, Dec. 7.-America must
come to the relief of the population
of the famine areas of Soviet Russia
with about 100000 bushels of grain
or hundreds Of thousands of people
will starvc, former Governor James
P. Goodrich, of Indiana, reported to-
day to Secretary Hoover.
Mr.. Goodrich has just returned
from a six weeks survey of the famine
area in the lower Volga valley, I'M
dertaken at the request of Mr. Hoover.
"The situation in Russia is exceed
ingly serious" former Governor
Goodrich said. "On account of the
drought and the almost total failure
of the wheat and rye crop in the low
er Volga valley, 25,000,000 Russian
farmers are faced with famine and
many hundreds of thousands of them
will starve to death unless help is
extended to them at a very early date.
In the Russian farmer, conservative
by nature and individualistic in his
ideals, lies the hope of Russia.
america with its vast surplus OF
food products is in q better position
to help Russian farmers than any
other country. The only hope of these
people is that America should furnish
from 100000 to 20,o00,000 bushels
of corn and 100000 to 100000
bushels of sead wheat to feed the adult
population of the Volsa and to SOW
