Time to Put a Stop to It

The astounding proposal is made
from Washington that the Uuited
States should cancel all or a part
of Europe's debt to this country in
order to revive our foreign trade.
The proposal, if carried out. would
simply mean that the American
people take a loss of millions of
dollars go that a few large Ameri-
can manufacturers, already rich
from their war profiteering, might
add millions to their swollen for
tunes by selling Europe. which in
turn would pay these manufactur-
ers for their goods with the money
which should be applied to the
payment of Europe's debt to this
country. In the meantime as dubs
here at home would be working
like thunder to raise tax money to
pay both our own and Europe's
share of the twentv-four billion-dol-
lar debt of the United States. It's
a cinch Europe has friends at Wash
ington, whether the American peo-
pie have or not.-MeComb City
Enterprise.
Not many months after the ar
mistice was signed England made
a proposition to President Wilson
that the war debt of Europe be
cancelled. but he turned it down.
Since the Republicans got in power
European propagandists have been
active at Washington and it is
hard to tell what will be the result.
England, who is our debtor consid-
cradle millions, has already pre-
scented her bill for transporting our
troops across to keep the Huns off
her neck, and the same has been
paid to the tune of 81 million dol
lars. We think she should have
been told in this instance, Well
credit your account" But since it
has been paid in cash, whenever
England's obligations to us be-
come due she should be told to
shell down the coin England has
been playing this country for an
easy mark for fifty years-it is time
to put stop to it.-Booneville
Advocate.

Potato Growers Warned

Agricultural College. Miss, Sept.
8.-All persons expecting to grow
seed sweet potatoes or potato plants
for sale in Mississippi next year
were again warned by the State
Plant Board that their potato fields
must be inspected before the pota-
toes are harvested. This is neces-
sary in order to be certain that the
potatoes do not have stem rot
which is easily detected only in the
field.
Growers are urged not to delay
sending in their applications for
inspection to the Chief Inspector
State Plant Board, Agricultural
College. as nobody will be permit
ted to sell potatoes or plants next
spring unless their felds were in
spected this fal. Great leniency
was shown growers the past season
on account of the new rules. but the
will be strictly adhered
to during the coming year.

Babies VS.. Pigs

DIR. H. darcy Power said moth
ing new when he told the mutual
business men that babies should be
az well cared for as pigs, but it is
a matter which perhaps cannot too
often be brought to the attention
of those Immediately charged with
responsibility. Hitherto most eff
fort has been spent upon mothers,
with no satisfactory results, and ap-
parently DR.. Power thinks it worth
while to see if he can interest the
men. 1t seems to be demonstrated
that there is a great amount of de-
fectiveness in human beings which
might be prevented by proper at
tention to babies. Whoever raises
pigs takes great care to keep them
healthy. Fan Francisco Chronicle.
