? Ihe announcement came as a sur.
prise to the Sim Fein delegates now in
London, who indicated Thursday night
they had expected that parliamen,
would not be consulted until there was
nearer approach to an agreement
than hitherto had been possible. They
have negotiated with Mr.. Lloyd George
believing him to be in position to
strike a binding bargain, and they ex-
pressed apprehension over the possi-
bility that the forthcoming debate might
enable him to modify his proposals.
Irish Fear Trouble.
The view was that nothing likely to
happen in the house Of commons could
better the terms obtainable by Sim
Fein. but that. on the contrary, the
debate might easily lessen these terms
The Sim Fein delegates appear to be
extremely suspicious that the premier
has been faced with trouble in his own
party and that he thinks a debate in
the house would be the best way in
obtaining for himself a certain major
ity. Ulster is understood to present
his chief difficulty, since he has pledged
himself not to reduce the Importance
Of the position Of the northern parla-
ment. He has been pressed from the
start by the Sim Fein delegates to rip
up the house rule act and to reopen the
Ulster question.
Both Sides Suspicious.
On the other hand. Mr.. Lloyd George
is urged by many unionists, even those
who approve his recent offer of do
minion status in Ireland. to permit the
northern parliament to function AL
though opened formally by King George
it still has no real power and, lacking
funds, it cannot exercise most of the
powers granted it. Although it was
given large administrative powers
within it's area. it still is administered
from Dublin castle, and its leaders are
constantly denouncing officials there,
Arthur Cote. assistant un-
der secretary for Ireland, as allies of
Sim Fein.
If Mr.. Lloyd George assents to faciI-
itating the powers of the northern par
lament, he risks break in the nego-
tiations with Sim Fein. Yet there is a
powerful feeling in his own party in
favor of leaving Ulster what she has.
Until after Mondays debate the con-
ference with Sim Fein delegates will
continue in more or less suspended ami
nation. but both sides expressed the
view that the debate in commons may
kill it..

ADVERTISING AND PRICES.

There are some persons under the
impression that advertising increases
the price of products. On many an
occasion we have pointed out the fall
lacy of this premise. but as people
sometimes readily forget it is but
doing a public service to point out a
few facts that will clear away the
mental cobwebs.
Advertising costs money, of course,
but It is a legitimate cost of dis
tribution, just like rent. store help,
lights and transportation.
The merchant who saves" money
by not advertising much does not
thereby lessen any other item of
overhead expense. And as he inva-
riably reduces his volume of sales,
the cost Of overhead set against ev-
cry article he sells is proportionate-
ly higher.
For instance, If merchant sells
ten articles without advertising and
10 articles with advertising 1t stands
to reason that the per-article over
head will have been less on the Is
articles than on the ten. The mer-
chant therefore can afford to sell
each Of the Is articles for less than
each Of the ten otherwise would have
to sell for and still make greater pro-
fits.

"NATURAL ADVANTAGES" OF A
TOWN.

Writers often refer to the "natur-
al advantages" of town. But what
towns have them?
In days beyond recall town on a
river, a navigable lake or on an i'm
portant highway was regarded as
having distinct natural advantages
which caused it to grow faster than
its fellows.
The advent of railroads then began
spelling the natural advantages thus
caused by nature, and it became the
town fashion to be on good railroad
preferably a junction point.
Railroad development made and
broke towns. Some comparatively
small towns are as old as the Oldest
cities in their states, but they re-
main small because they didn't get
the favor Of railroad promoters when
the railroad craze" swept the coun-
try.
Look around you and you will ind
that most towns have no particular
natural advantages except possibly.
here and there, for looks. The sur
roundings of some are also prettier
than others, which Is a good thing in
itself, but which does not make their
possessors turn into cities.
Existence of most towns are jus
titled by their character as trading
centers. Every county has at least
one good trading center-some coun-
ties have half dozen. It does not
require great natural advantages to
be trading center, but 1t does re-
quire a prosperous community round
about and plenty Of roads on which
to ride to town.
This forms the backbone Of the av-
erage small town. II such town,
in addition can attract industrial ae-
tlvity, such as factories and mills Of
various sorts, some Of which are a
necessity for surrounding inhabi-
tants as we'll. then the town will be
larger than If It is a trading center
only.
Industrial institutions, however,
rarely exist in town because of its
natural advantages; good shipping
facilities count more than anything
else.

Lowrey Says America Will
Lead in Disarmament

In my opinion the biggest question
now before the world is the question
of preventing war. With the pro-
gress that has been made in the use
of explosives and gases, and the arts
of destruction generally, it seems to
me that another World War would
just about destroy civilization and
wreck humanity.
Again, believe that the longest
possible step toward preventing war
would be mutual agreement among
the nations to disarm. Therefore the
most important thing that can now
command the attention of our gov
ernment, and of every other civilized
government, is to hnd basis on
which such an agreement can be
reached immediately, and can be
made binding and permanent.
While was living in the State of
Texas some six or seven years ago,
when the European nations were al
ready in the World War, and before
America was drawn into it re-
member discussing this matter with
a Mississippi Senator, into whose
company / was thrown on a railroad
train. To him / said about this: =
When the great war ends, America
will be the richest nation on the
globe, and most of the other nations
will be in financial ruin. America
will thpn hauo cI1oh on onport,,nifv
for discharging mission to the race
as has never come to any other ma
tion in history. She will be in po-
alton to propose a general disarma-
ment, and to lead in the move. The
fact. that she will be better able to
maintain greater military establish
ments than any other existing nation
will put her in position to become
the leader of disarmament
do not flatter myself that / was
a prophet. I simply foresaw a thing
that great many other people fore
saw. The opportunity has come to
us, and seems enhanced rather than
diminished by our own forced par
ticipation in the tragic struggle. I'm
less we now have the courage and
the faith to take the lead and demand
of the world a new order of things
we commit an unspeakable crime a.
gainst humanity, and invite upon
ourselves the blood of untold multi
tudes who will go to slaughter in flu
ture wars.

Child Welfare Work Continues.

DR.. M. Gertrude Slaughter and
Miss Kresse Hoist, public health
nurse, have arrived here to continue
the child welfare work undertaken

Jippi Public Health Service in con-
junction with the Federal govern
ment.
They succeed DR.. Genevieye South
and Miss Davis who were at work
here short time ago.
DR.. Slaughter comes here from
Walthall county where she was de-
lighted with the cooperation given,
and the results achieved, finding the
citizens of Walthall thoroughly ap-
preciatiye of the aims and benefit of
the health work.
The first work undertaken here
will be health educational cam
paign of lectures and moving pic
lures, some interesting and some a.
musing with nothing that could Of
fend the most fastidious, These lee
lures and pictures will be given al

AMERICA PAYS THE FREIGHT.

Mr.. Mellon. secretary Of the treas
ury. pays Great Britain with the
full approval of Mr.. Daughtry, at
torney general, the sum Of s32,6SS,-
S52 alleged to be due England for
transporting American soldiers to
save the British cause in the war. At
best. it is doubtful claim. At the
same time there are hundreds of mill
lions of dollars Of unpaid interest
due from England, which our Off
cials have agreed not to request.
So far the allies have not yet
transferred to our shoulders the en-
tire war debt. but the process is un-
der way. so far as what they owe this
country is concerned. The refunding
principle is Sust about that much
an attempt to float some ten billions
Of allied war debt in this country
which would be a pretty heavy nag
for our harassed taxpayers to carry
around.
It may come to the pass whore we
will forgive European debts-but it
win never come to the pass where
any money the American taxpayers
owe will be forgotten or overlooked.

There was large and enthusiastic
attendance.
The principal speakers of the oc-
casion were Rev. N. F. Jacks, pres
ident, and Mr.. John May, secretary
of the Lincoln County Farmers Bu-
reau, who spoke upon cooperation
and community spirit among mer-
chants and farmers, and trucking
plans. Mr.. Meredith Wood made a
motion for a united boost" Of the
local ball team which was adopted.
It was reported that work on the
Fair and Community Building will
begin at once.
This was the first meeting held
since the return Of the president OF

was greatly missed during his abb
sence from the city.

HARDING'S NEGRO
POLICY IN SOUTH
Plain Statement Before Negro
Association as to What
They Might Expect.

President Harding was invited to
deliver an address to the National
Association for the Advancement OF
Colored People in September, and ii
was suggested that this would be an
appropriate occasion for informing
the colored people as to what they
might expect from the present ad-
ministration.
In reply to the committee, Mr..
Harding said:-
Gentlemen I am very thorough
ly convinced in by mind as to the
policy that ! am going to inaugurate
with reference to appointments, and
that is, / am not going to appoint
any colored men to public office in
the Southern states, but there will
be some appointments in the North
ern States. This thing called RACE
PREJUDICE you cannot down by
battling it and the only salvation, as
l see it, for the colored man in the
South, is to FALL IN THE RANKS
BEHIND THE WHITE LEADER
SHIP until he can, acting through
southern legislatures, work out his
destiny. THIS is MY POLICY
AND 1 AM GOING TO FOLLOW IT,
LIVE OR DIE, SINK OR SWIM"
Mr.. Harding's plain statement ac-
cords with his campaign utterances,
in which he expressed the belief that
the white people of the south under
stand their own problems far better
than outsiders, and will be vel
coined as ending any doubts and un-
certainties that may have been enter
tanned.
There can be no question that the
colored race, in the South, will be
made more secure and receive great
er benefits because of the presidents
wise policy. The appointment of a
few colored office seekers in the
South might be gratifying to their
ambition or vanity, but at the best
would arouse an antagonism be-
tween the races out Of all proportion
to the doubtful benefit they would de.
rive.
Mr.. Harding has done the best
thing for all concerned.

American soil-tillers are producing
in spite of the fact that their produce
won't bring anything like what is
considered reasonable figure. The
factories in the towns, however, are
producing only one-half or part time,
and with depleted forces, mostly
because there isn't much money in
factory production just now. A soil
tiller has to produce to get along,
even if what he makes will barely
pay expenses, while the owners Of
large corporations don't have to pro-
duce to get along. That is one inn
portant difference.

which have not been put in more

getting these boilers repaired new
conditions are developing due to the
