Foreign Missionaries

New York-More than 1900 girls and
women recently have applied for ap-
pointments as foreign missionaries, ac-
cording to Miss Mabelle Rae McVeigh,
candidate secretary of the Woman's
American Baptist Foreign Mission So
ciety, Ages of applicants, Miss Nc
Weigh said, range from Id to as years.
Probably one reason for the aston
ishing increase in the number of ap-
plicants," Miss McVeigh said, "is the
fact that the war has made the world
seem smaller, so that foreign lands
no longer seem as distant as they
formerly did"

June the eighth, has been designa-
ted as tentative date for the open
ing of the Redpath Chautauqua in

most lecturers. There will be music
galore-in quantity and variety for
everyone, including big singing
band. OF course there will be an
American comedy, played by big
New York company.
Chautauqua this year, promises to
be real business tonic, one that will
inspire, educate and stimulate. Soon

CLASS COLORS
FLYING ON HILL
Senior Boy And Junior Girl Win In
Inter-Class Contest At Dixie
Theatre,

Scarlet and black of the Senior
Class and black and gold of the Ju-
niors are waving in triumph at Grove
this week, over the winning of the
annual Inter-Class Contest at the
Dixie last Friday night, by Miss Ber-
tie Easley, Glass '22, and Howard
Dumas, Glass '21, to whom the med,
ais for oratory and reading were pre-
scented by DR. Harris, of the Express,
ion Department of Vanderbilt Unk
versity, Nashville.
The two upper classes are excep-
tionally jubilant, because last year
they were downed by the Sophs and
medal that has been awarded the
Glass '22.
Never in contest history, has the
Dixie been more elaborately decorated
nor crowded with a larger capacity
house, of interested and enthusiastic
spectators, than on the occasion of
the 1921 Contest. Each section of
tiiC dooiSuCu W lLlS lOuI
classes was appropriately adorned.
The electric signs, made and put up
by the students themselves, are es-
pecially deserving of mention.
Each contestant delighted the huge
audience, who were, as is always true,
divided as to who should excel, until
the judge gave the decision to Eas-
ley and Dumas.
Miss BERTHE Easley, winner of the
Girls Medal, charmed her hearers
with her naturalness, confident stage
presence, and simple girlish delivery,
The selection of her reading, Cher
ry Bossom," was also most pleasing
one. She is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs B NJ Easley, West End, and is
a most attractive and talented young
lady.
Howard Dumas, to whom the Boys
Oratorical Medal was presented, Is
the son of Mr. and Mrs Ed Dumas,
Washington street This is the Sec
ond time he has tried for the medal.
His delivery was excellent, his voice
well modulated, his expression sim
pie and direct. He gave WILSON'S
War Message" Howard is an in
dustrious, popular lad.

Income Tax Force
Reduced; Best Not
Wait For Deputy

The field force of Collector of In
ternal Revenue e B Craig has been
reduced by the department and he
is worried over his inability to fur
nish income taxpayers with full ex-
pert assistance as has been done the
past two or three years.
Mr. Craig states that:
"Owing to the discontinuance of
the services of seven of my field
Bureau at Washington, effective on
March first, and further to my ina
bility to obtain assistance of Reve-
nue. Agents to help in the matter
of assisting taxpayers in making out
income tax returns for the year
1920, such taxpayers are warned that
if assistance is needed or information
desired, it should be sought at home
office in Nashville or branch Office
at Memphis, Knoxville and Chatta-
nooga without delay, as it will be
physically impossible to give every
applicant attention on the last five
or six days preceding the last day
for filing, March is, next.
1T is my purpose to give taxpay-
ers all assistance possible with the
limited force at my command but
they are urged to attend to this i'm.
portant matter at once and not delay
until the last days, when they cannot
be waited upon by Deputy Collectors
assigned to that duty"

ADVOCATINCA
TIGHTER TOWN
Progressive Citizens Municipal Ticket
Wants This to Be Thoroughly
Known.
GAMBLING HELLS AND SUCH
VICES MUST CLEAN OUT
Xigilant Efforts VIII BE Made To
Clean Out Dumps And Enforce
Laws.

Following the raid conducted this
week on a big dice game when elev-
en- white men were gathered in by
the sheriff and his deputies within
two blocks of the square, The Pro-
gressive Citizens Municipal Ticket has
made it more thoroughly known that
the law enforcement program, which
they guarantee, will not only be made
effective, but that strict vigilance will
be kept and any immoral element
suspicioned as existing will be run
down and the full limit of the law
applied.
II has been rumored on first one
corner and another that Paris is a
"wide-open" town, and the gambling
hells have been permitted to exist
here and in various parts of the
city, without any concrete action be-
ing taken. The men on the new
ticket pledge that they will give this
immediate attention, upon entering
office, because they feel that the
town cannot otherwise be made what
they want to make it in giving their
time, attention and talent without
remuneration, and only from public
spirit standpoint
There is nothing to be gained, said
one of the candidates, Tuesday night,
following the sheriff's raid, in not en-
ergetically pursuing matters of this
kind and eliminating such vices from
the city, but on the other hand it is
only a matter of common sense that
such should be suppressed ''If it
] is fact, as oft reported, that there
are several poker games going full
blast right up in town, and other
poker and dice games being run on
the outskirts and within the city
limits, and if it is a fact, as some
contend, that there is still running
within 100 yards of the square, you
can be sure that they will clean out

command" This town has got to
| be a clean town morally before we

continued, wen get some compliance

on the progressive ticket Thursday
| morning, "and that means clean up

ment,' and he insisted, they might

SALE OF CLOVER
SEED Winds Up
Committee Was Very Successful In
Disposing OF Big Crop For
Farmers.
(By j. A. Patrick)

We are glad to announce that the
sale of red clover seed is nearly at
an end We are trying to close out
but it looks like we cannot. A few
fellows who did not consign their
seed in the beginning are now anx-
ious for the red clover seed commit
tee to land sale for them Then
too, the committee receives in every
mail, orders with checks attached.
All of such orders are gilt-edged and
it is rather difficult to send money
away from Henry County when 1t
once gets here. So it seems that our
sales have gained too much speed
to stop. Sales TO date amount to
800 bushels We are turning down
a lew orders every day
We are anxious to be in shape
to issue all checks by March 18th.
Letters are being issued giving the
number of bushels sold for every far
mer. In case of any mistake in the
amount, the committee respectfully
asks that YOU call at the county coun-
Gil office and assist in the correction
of such mistake.

FERTILIZER
PRICE LOWER
Active Work OF Committee OF Coun.
ty Council Secures Reduction
OF Price.
(By ]. A. panick)

The storm Is past. The fertilizer
statesmen have come and gone. The
fertilizer committee has had day
night. Prices have been made and
a working agreement entered into,
All district fertilizer committeeman
are instructed to take orders until
March Is. This is not an arbitrary
date. The fertilizer companies will
positively not accept orders after
March Is. Prices will be higher af-
been made to get fertilizer from any
of the companies at the same price.
The district chairmen in soliciting or
ders will find out what fertilizer the
farmers of their districts prefer.
Prices have smashed. The first
price to the fertilizer committee was
$3.50 per hundred. The committee
dred. 1t looks like we should be
satisfied with the latest price of $1.20
per hundred for 16 percent acid
phosphate. This is a cash price at
the car and includes all handling
charges. The credit price is $1.45
per hundred There is general
price reduction of $6.75 per ton on
all grades of fertilizers Present pri-
ces hold for the season and the COM
panies guarantee the farmers the ben
eft of any reductions
The fertilizer situation is settled.
All of us have a basis to work from.
Cne salesman sized the situation up
in a rather humorous way by saying,
THE fertilized committee has talked
the companies down to real low
price and has given them permission
to sell fertilizer in Henry County"

Eating Rice No.O
The Fad In Paris
And Ouer the South

To be in fashion one must eat
rice.
Rice is wholesome, cheap, easily
cooked, and easily digested. And,
Hist, Girls!" Rice will give you
a pretty complexion, it is said.
The present fashionableness OF rice
eating in this section of the woods
though, is due to the fact that thru
the admirable spirit of cooperation
that is rapidly spreading from farmer
to consumer various Southern whole
salers have agreed to handle the
present Arkansas rice crop at cost,
in order to protect the Arkansas rice
growers, who 1t seems are hard
put"
1t is poor turn that does not
work good for someone, so that the
customer is being made the true
benefitor in this rice deal, for the
merchants have likewise assumed
their apportionate part of the coop
GRAFTON and are offering rice for sale
even cheaper than before the war,
at least Paris grocers are.
Rice last Saturday sold at several
groceries in Paris for as low as
pounds for 25 cents. During the war
rice, one of the last edibles to be
elevated in price, rose to as high
as 3 pounds for SO cents. It's aver
age price is from to 10 cents a
pound.
One grocery in Paris sold $50
pounds Of rice last Saturday, and
two other groceries sold all their
stock. A further demonstration of
the consumers appreciation of price
considerations.
