The Aberdeen Chamber of Conn
merce; Its Aims and Purposes

The Aberdeen Chamber of Com,
merce was organized January 10
1921. It's chief aim is to develop
Monroe and surrounding counties
to realize the uttermost of their ag-
ricultural and industrial resources.
A feature of this development is
the establishment of markets for
everything that is raised or grown
on the farms of this territory
markets for mules, for cattle, for
produce, for vegetables; in fact for
eyerything-where they will COM
mand best prices and ready sale
when offered in large or small
quantities.
Aberdeen has the best creamery
in the south; it has the largest hog
ranch in the United States. These
already afford dependable markets
for hogs. hog food and cream. and
pay prices for them, that are Sec
ond to none paid anywhere.
The Aberdeen Chamber of Com
merce is pledged to good roads. 1t
will endeavor to make all the roads
good that lead to Aberdeen. as well
as all roads that ramify its trade
territory. 1t wants to build up Alb
erdeen along with all the outlying
sections upon which Aberdeen and
these sections mutually depend.
The Chamber recognizes that
cities, together with the territory
that feeds them, are co-dependent
must build up and endure
together. The Aberdeen Chamber
of Commerce asks the hearty coop
Grafton of every farmer and indus
try and of the entire citizenship of
this section. so that Monroe may
become the best county and Abb
erdeen the best market in Mississip-
pi. 1t urges every citizen to be-
come a member of this Chamber
men of every trade, av-
ocation or profession are asked to
join us in the all-pull-together cru
SADIE for better county and big
ger town.
The Chamber meets in the City
Hall the second Tuesday night of
each month, at 7:30 O'Clock. You
are invited to become one of US.

DECLINES TO ACCEPT THE
WOMAN'S CHALLENGE"

The writer Of the editorial re,
ferred to in the article printed or
the first page of today's Weekly
under the title The Woman's
Challenge" is not inclined to con-
troyert the arguments so ably pre-
scented by the writer, Miss Russell,
from the woman's point of view.
Nor is he inclined to discount the
plea so eloquently made in support
of the candidacy of the distinguish
ed woman for the United States
Senate.
The editorial was projected as an
opinion merely as to the sphere
women should fill in holding office,
without attempt to found that opin-
ion in evidence. This could not
have been done in this instance for
the reason that no woman, up to
this time, has ever filled the exalt-
ed position of a United States SEN
ator. Opinions are not ordinarily
founded in evidence; they come
more in the nature of intuitive per-
captions. Evidence reduces opin-
ions to fact; about proven facts
there can be no diversity of opinion.
The Weekly in no wise meant the
editorial to be construed as oppo-
sition to the candidacy of Miss
Belle Kearney. The truth is that
it would prefer her in that exalted
place to either of the male mem
Oers who now represent Mississippi
IN that august body.

1t does seem that every farmer
on earth should know the main rea-
son why they do not get the prices
they should is that they dump the
whole crop on the market at the
same time. thereby glutting the
market, running the prices down.
and allowing the middle-man
TO buy it up and dispense it
at the time when the world needs
it. No other class of people do
this. The usual reason offered by
the farmer for doing it is that he
is compelled to sell. If that be
true then he cannot blame the
other fellow for buying it as cheaply
as he can. Everybody. the farmer
included, is doing that. A good
thing for the farmer to do would be
to sell his large amount of surplus
land that is bringing him nothing
but heavy tax, get out OF debt
and live absolutely on what he
raises, for few years at least, if it
be nothing more than bread and
milk, until he gets to where he
owns the crop he grows aad conse-
quently can dictate the price he
gets for it. This is his only saliva
ton, but will he do it?-Exchange.

CIvICS COURSE OPENED.
Legislation Beneficial to Wbmen
Discussed by Mrs. Parke.

Details of legislation beneficial to
women were discussed in an address
Tuesday night at the headquarters OF
the Womans National Foundation by
Mrs. Maude Wood Park, chairman Of
the League of Women Voters and chair
man of the civics committee OF the
foundation. The address opened a
course in civics organized by the foun-
dation for Washington members
Mrs Parke said that "the great sig
nificance of the bills In which women
are particularly Interested lies in the
fact that they have to do with mat
ters in which women are admittedly
experts-matters in which their eX-
perience as mothers, as homemakers
and as wage earners has given them
a distinctive point of view"

in Congress, Including the bill for
inependent citizenship for married
women. which provides that no Ameri-
can-born woman who has married or
shall marry an alien thereby forfeits
citizenship II she remains a resident
of the United States.
