Removal of War Tax on Express
Shipments Will Benefit Public

Removal of War Tax on Express
Shipments Will Benefit Public
The public will save approximately
$1,5OO,OOO a month as a result of the
elimination of War Tax on Express
shipments, according to George o.
Taylor, President of the American
Railway Express Company. An an
nOuneement to this effect was made
today by A. w. Noble, the local Ex-
press Agent.
The Revenue Act of 1921" elm
mates the War Tax of one cent on
every twenty ounces and fractions
thereof in transportation charges on
all express shipments. This tax dur
ing the year of 1920 amounted to
$17,502,918. The average transport
alton charge for each express ship
ment was approximately $3.50 and
the average war tax was eight cents.
The elimination of the tax, therefore,
Mr.. Taylor states, will virtually
amount to a decrease in rates of a lit
tie over five per cent. Mr.. Taylor
believes that this should have a tend
ency to stimulate business and there
by accelerate the rapidly improving
conditions throughout the entire
country.
"The American Railway Express
Company handles approximately one
million shipments a day or nearly four
hundred million shipments a
year" Mr.. Taylor goes on to
say, 1.-The elimination of the tax will
relieve the American Express Com
pany of an immense amount of labor
which has been involved in calculat-
ing, entering on way bills and cOllec-
ton of tax, not to mention the ex-
pense of checking and accounting en-
tailed. The Treasury Department
has requested express carriers to ad-
wise all claimants who have claims
pending, for Overcharges, or who file
such claims after December 31st,
1921, that claims for refund of tax
should be filed separately on Treas
ury Department Form No. 46, with
the Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue within four years from the time
tax was paid, claim being barred by
statue of limitation if received after
such a time"
Mr.. Noble pointed out that as the
Revenue Act becomes effective jan
uary 1st, 1921, the tax on all ship
ments forwarded prepaid on or before
December 31st, will be collected. On
shipments forwarded Collect" and
arriving on or after January 1st, the
tax will not be assessed.

Kansas City Star show that the Gulf

Great Bend lost the Santa Fe divi-

prospect of another railroad and
promised division point, this year
shows over 5000 population.
Dodge City had 1862 in 1900, ran

1920, and now $500.

its several roads bringing people there

NEAR EAST RELIEF GRAIN CAM
PAIGN

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 28.-Some-
where on the Atlantic ocean a Christ
mas food ship is on its way to the
Near East. In its hold, packed tightly
in barrels, boxes and sacks are great
quantities of food, the gift to starving
children in Southern Russia and Ar
menia, from farmers of the Missis-
sippi valley and charitable citizens in
Pennsylvania.
The cargo weighs $500 tons or
eleven million pounds. One thousand
seven hundred and fifty tons, consist
ing largely of corn products, was load
ed at New Orleans. This largely was
given by middle western farmers.
The supplies, sent on the steamship
Allaguash, which sailed December 8,
consisted of:
Hominy grits, corn meal,
corn -four 5000 tons
Five thousand army cots
on which twelve
small orphans will
sleep 81 tons
Canned goods from
school children of
Philadelphia, Erie
and Pittsburg $50 tons
Soap, donated by Fels
Company tons
Cocoa, donated 5 tons
Old clothing in bales 85 tons
Five thousand cases Karo
corn syrup 134 tons
Coal, donated, $50 tons by
Pennsylvania mine
operators $50 tons
Flour 1878 tons
This food will go to sustain the chilr
dren crowded into Near East Relief
orphanages and refugees collected in
concentration camps. But there are
thousands of others outside who viii
starve and suffer unless other food
ships follow.
Arrangements already are being
made to send another shipload of food
and supplies, including many agricul-
tural implements, as soon as the cargo
can be collected.

HOW EDITORS GET RICH

We have before US a copy of a
paper published less than one hundred
miles from Buffalo. This paper con-
tains about twelve columns of hand
set matter, news or semi-news, and
figuring their advertising at Is cents
an inch they have considerable less
than $50 in paid advertising. Now
the cost of setting this matter is at
least SIS for the twelve columns. Or
to be very conservative, say $18 for
composition. Then figure 50 for
press work, makeready, etc. Now,
say he prints 800 copes that cost him
at least 81 from the w. N. u, then
his mailing charges would be, oh, say,
% cents a week His rent S4 a week.
Lights, taxes, insurance, power,
another SIS a week. Upkeep and de-
probation of plant $3.50 a week.
Total cost of operating Office one
week $40. Add to this salary for the
editor (for so far that hasn't been
figured); $50 total in the debit col
umn; $78 a week in the credit column.
Advertising $40; received from sub
scriptions, possibly $12 a week; total
S32 a week. Deficiency, SAG week
Now. in order for this man to earn for
himself $50 a week he has to make his
lob department clear this SAG. Can
he do it? We write this to show that
there are very few small town papers
that are actually paying their own
way. unless they are fortunate enough
to have the county printing, and with
out the support of the job work about
one-half of them would have to shut
up the Buffalo (Kansas)
Blade.

JAS. CUFF 4 SON, ONE OF
THE OLDEST AND BEST

1t would be a difficult matter for
any one to think Of Grenada for the
last third Of a century without the
name of Mr.. JAS. Cuff coming to his
mind. For all that is stalwart in
citizenship; for all that is just in
dealing with ones fellowman and for
that energy and business ability that
counts everywhere, Mr.. Cuff stands
as a shining example. He has sue
ceeded in business, and has one Of
the NOS. rar-famed bakeries and best
family grocery stores in Mississippi.
Coming along in his footsteps, are
two splendid sons, James, Jr., and
Sam, both exceptionally fine young
men and worthy Of the confidence
and of the esteem of the public. This
family has meant a great deal to
Grenada. and it gvies this paper
pleasure to record of JAS. Cuff & Son.
what everybody holds end that is that
they are par excellence in business
and in correct rules of conduct.

c. w. THOMPSON, THE GROCER

Mr.. c. w. Thompson only a short
while ago opened a grocery store in
Grenada. His Phone No. is 1876.
About the best way to judge any man
in new business is by the standard he
himeself has made in his conduct of
other things. By this rule it can
safely and correctly be said that Mr..
Thompson will give every customer
a square deal and that he will stand
behind any goods he sells. He has
quite IN extended experience in the
grocery business in the employ of
others, all of which stands him well
in hand in running his own store. 1t
is his aim to build up a dependable
trade in Grenada. 1t is his aim to
give such service as that his custom
ers will stay with him. The Sentinel
believes in Mr.. Thompson's honesty
and his integrity as a man and that
he will make good as a merchant.
He congratulates the Fair manage
ment and bids all Fair visitors a Gre
NADIA welcome which will not be COM
plete until they have visited his store.

cry farmer may feel assured that
when dealing with Threefoot Broth
ers or Mr. Horn that the scales are

II. X. BARwIcK's ORE

Just somehow there are some men
who readily gain acces to the conf

without any show of effort and with
but few words. Such a man is Mr..
H. X. Barwick who is the proprietor
of the beautiful and we'll arranged
grocery store where Depot Street in
tersects the public square on the east
side.
There are few stores in Mississippi
better arranged and better located
for a grocery store than Mr.. Bar
|wick's and there are few that are
more pleasing to the eye of the public
than his.
Just in proportion as this store is
attractive and really captivating to
the eye, so also is the stock of goods
carried. It is the proprietor's aim to
buy nothing but. the very best in any
line and when Mr.. Barwick sells any
commodity or article it is just like
he says it is or he thinks it is, and if
it is not he will make it so. He has
a fine trade. His business is de-
servedly a growing one. He has an
ad in this big issue which talks a he
talks. He is much interested in the
success of the Fair and expresses the
wish that the public generally may
feel that his store is their h~eaiquar-
tiers during the Fair.

CITY ICE AND COAL COMPANY

In the years ago, the making of ice
in Grenada would have been some
thing almost startling; people could
not believe it, indeed those remote
from the great centers were for a
long while about making ice like the
world was for a long while about
Columbus theory that the world was
round. Ice is made everywhere
now d. 1t is now one of the necessities,
a necessity because, like so many
other things of the present day, GUS
tom has fixed it on the public. 1t is
a great thing for the sick. 1t is a
preserver of meats and hundreds of
other things. Thus Grenada may
very properly congratulate herself
upon having a we'll managed and we'll
ordered ice plant in her midst that
is a paying, a real going enterprise.
H. L. Honeycutt, the real owner,
is a quiet, orderly, transformations
business mar who applies himself dill
gently to whatever he undertakes.
He is regarded as one of Grenada's
stalwart citizens, and it gives The
Sentinel pleasure to note that his ice
plant is one of the many joining in a
welcome to the Fair.

PHOENIX CHAIR COMPANY.

In this issue of The Sentinel the
Phoenix Chair Co., is extending an
invitation to all visitors to the Fair
to visit it's plant while in Grenada.
The plant at Grenada is a branch of
the celebrated company of the same
name at ~Sheboygan, Wisconsin and
the county. The Phoenix Chair Co.,
is in the market for oak, gum, wal
nut and any kind Of timber that is
suitable to be used in the manufac-
ture of chairs. The plant here oper-
ates perhaps the largest sawmill in
this section and cuts on a full days
run around thirty thousand feet.
Mr.. W: G. Nohl, manager of the
Grenada branch, is a most pleasant
and affable gentleman. He has had
a thorough experience in the lumber
business from all angles and the
heads of the Phoenix Chair Co., this
paper believes, made a wise selection,
indeed, when he was placed in charge
at Grenada. Mr.. Nohl states that he
Is delighted with the Southland and is
especially pleased with Grenada and
its citizenship.
he says that his company expects
IN the lee future to manufacture
chairs and furniture in Grenada and
this will be but another step toward
the development Of the county's re-
sources.

DUNCAN & co. HAVE AID.

The firm of Duncan & Co., is one
of Grenada's oldest mercantile estab-

fully said that the head of the firm,
the n who has been its senior
since its organization, Mr.. B. c. Dun
can, is a young man in all the ele-
ments that really go to count for
age. There is youth about his adapta-
bility and his progress and in all his
dealings with the public and with his
friends. He is a princely fellow. He
has one of the prettiest and best ar
ranged stores perhaps in the state
and it is kept as tidy as q parlor or
a drawing room.
This firm carries a line of the best
shoes, clothing for men and boys that
are standard throughout the country
besides a big stock of dry goods,
notions, ETC., and a large and elegant
line of ladies' ready-to-wear. There
is some in the store who, it seems, is
just suited Ito wait on you" and who
understands your every want.
Duncan & Co., are always to the
fore in anything that the
welfare Of Grenada and this trade
territory, and it will especially please
them to greet their friends by the
