Says MOUies Should
 Respect Ministry

Rev. R. V. Saylor, pastor of the Christian church, and Mrs. Saylor, were in Little Rock several days last week attending the annual con vention of the Churches of Christ. Among the acts of the conference was the adoption of a resolution offered by Rev. Saylor condemnlng the caricaturing of the Protestant Ministry upon the moving picture screen, said to be so generously practiced today. The resolution went on to demand that henceforth the moving picture industry treat the Protestant Ministry with the courtesy and dignity due a vocation so sacred.
 Another part of the resolution requested that each minister make a personal protest to the proprietors of the moving picture houses in his community and to insist that such pictures shall not be shown.

Lloyd Resigns As
 ROad Supervisor

W. 0. Lloyd, who for five years has been supervisor of the roads in Lee county under the commis- sioners of road improvement district number one, has resigned his posi- tion, effective on February lst, and will be succeeded by Murphy Brown of Aubrey. MT. Brown is now spending a portion of his time on the roads with Mir. Lloyd familiar izing himself with the work.
 Mir. Lloyd is recognized as one of the most capable road men in this section of Arkansas. For eight years he was street commissioner of Marianna. resigning that position in 1916 to become supervisor of the roads. In this position he has had very trying job to fill. Every body knows how to build and main tain roads and none failed to tell the supervisor where he made his mistakes. He has been criticised as have all men occupying similar posi- tions. but with all this he pursued the even tenor of his way, and re- tires from public with clean hands and a clear conscience.
 NJ Lloyd has announced that ne will enter the contracting field ln Marianna. doing concrete work, grading and excavating. His long experience as street commissioner and road supervisor peculiarly lit him for excellent service as q con tractor and no doubt he will get plenty of work to do here.

 THE FIRE CHIEF
C. C. KITCHENER TELLS HOW AN ALARM SHOULD BE TURIN ED IN-ALSO ASKS FOR CO., OPERATION OF CITIZENS.

"Ne frequently lose much val uable anc often expensive time in not reach ng the scene of a fire" Marianne Fire Department, yes terday, ''Lecause the party report ing the fire does not properly turn in the alarm. A simple suggestion, if followed, will always avoid loss of time and enable the department to respond more speedily and per haps save much property that is otherwise lost. If you discover fire, call central on the phone and say, for instance, John Does residence on Pearl street is on fire. Central knows exactly what to do. The switchboard is cleared and the chief and each of the firemen are notified immediately. If you want to tell John Doe his house is on fire, phone him after you have phoned central The important thing is to get the department out 1 first.
 Every city has the right to ex- pect the very best fire fighting it fire department is capable of, and usually gets it. But, how often does the average citizen stop to think that the fire department also has right the right to except ev- cry citizen to do his full duty in the work of fire prevention about his own premises, at least. Are you doing yours, Mir. Citizen? When each individual citizen fully awak- ems to the sense of his own duty, then we will have many fewer fires. We are doing all within our power to give to the people of Mraianna matter of fighting fires. Our equip ment is modern and is being added | to from time to time. Recently we purchased 400 more feet of hose at an outlay of $520, and new nozzles that cost the city $50. We are not going to lay down on our job, but if the citizens would show 1 the proper spirit of cooperation, remove fire hazards, keep inflamma- ble materials away and see that l their premises are in good condi- tion, we would have fewer fires and save from total loss thousands of dollars worth of property. Re member when property burns, it is gone out of existence forever. | You may think the insurance money you get replaces the loss, but re- member the insurance money, Tn the last analysis comes from those who pay the premiums and in no sense replaces the actual property destroyed

Can't AIWays Tell When the Big 'Uns
 WiIL Bite the Best

By all the rules of the game it would be wholly improper in the dead of winter to spring fish story. Even old Sir Izaak Walton, the daddy of all fishermen, would probably never have dared disturb the serenity of the ''hot stove lea que" by pulling off fishing stunts in the middle of January, when 1t is generally supposed fish are in a state of coma or otherwise in- capacitated for active participation in combat with the festive and ubiquitous nimrod, who desecrates all seasons and all the laws of the elements to enjoy his chosen sport. So be it, or inasmuch, or words to that effect-it makes no material difference-the editor of the Cou- rier-Index expanded several inches in his chest measurements Monday when he brought in the prize black bass of several seasons and out-o'- seasons and made the members of the Marianna Fly Fishing Club thirty-five in number-count 'em- sit up and take due and ancient notice. For three years the fly rod bugs have been trying to land an honest goodness big bass. Many of them have almost landed him. Eben Daggett once shared one that, ! according to his own admissions and the testimony of Senegambian who has since left the country- would have weighed from six to eight pounds-had Eben landed him but ''he got away" like another animal of Yuletide lore. Chas. Me Fee once hooked a monster-he thought-but later discovered his lure had fastened itself in the bankers florid Scotch cheek. Dave Hilton has been catchin' lem since the year one, and down in Alabama Dave says he actuaiiy netted an eight pounder. But Dave's witness es are now all dead Maxcy Dag gett, always meek and modest and circumspect in his claims-and mod ulating in his language-released a nine pounder two years ago m Kali Bayou because of the bungling of his brother, Eben, in handling the boat.
 And so on down the line through the roster of the fly fishermen each has tale of sorrow to unfold of the big bass he hooked but didn't land.
 That's why the editorial specimen, weighing five pounds to the dot, caught in Council lake last Monday afternoon on six and half ounce fly rod, with a "Col. Fuller Yellow ! bug to which was attached single hook of small calibre, has the de- voices of the sport on their tip toes for the fun they are antici- pating this spring.
 The few balmy days the latter part of last week caused the bass to stir and on Monday afternoon eleven of them responded to the lure, eight of which number later saw service of satisfactory na- ture to several families who are fish hungry.
 So far as the records disclose this is the largest bass ever caught with ! a flv rod in local waters.

Old Folks To Dance
 Monday Night, Feb. z

Reviving very enjoyable cus- tom that was m vogue in Marian ma until two or three years ago, an "Old Folks Dance" will be given at the Elks Home on Monday even ing, February '. For many years the "Old Folks Dance" was an an- nual affair here. It was participat- ed in by several score elderly" ladies and gentlemen who indulged in the old fashioned dances. Now that the custom is to be revived it is expected renewed interest will be manifested in the event and that a large crowd will be present on Monday night, February '. All the "Old Folks" who dance, and all Elks and their wives and sweet hearts are expected to attend. Leave your children at home. Music will be furnished by Stewards First Or chestra of Memphis. The dance will start promptly at 9 o'clock. After the ''Old Folks" have danced them selves out. which is usually about midnight, the young people will have the floor.

Miss Hudson GiDeS
 Pointers on Poultry

Practically every farmer in Lee county keeps poultry, and the de- sire of each one should be to make as much profit as possible. To do this it is very important that you have a good breed or variety of chickens which are not only good layers but also have size enough to provide suitable carcasses for the table. The breeds that I would recommend are Rhode Island Reds, Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes and Orpingtons.
 It is very important that every hen kept should be a good layer, and that all others should either be eaten, canned for home use or sold as soon as they are large enough. Whats the use of keeping any, thing that doesn't pay? And hens that do not lay are nothing but dead expense.
 If you want to succeed and make money from your poultry it is ab- solutely necessary that you learn to cull your flock accurately, so as to keep only such birds as will pay profit on the feed they eat. Feeding is one of the most im- portant factors ID egg production. On poor rations hens will live and even keep in fair health, but we'll balanced palatable feeds are nec- essary to get good egg production. The additional cost of a good ra- tion is repaid many times by the ex- tra eggs obtained.
 If you are interested in getting standard poultry or eggs, I'll be glad to get them for you, or tell you where you can get them. If you want yo6r flock culled I'll be glad to cull it for you, also to teach you how.
 If I can be of any help to you with your poultry please call me at 426 or l24.

POSTOFFICE IS
 BEING MOVED
NEW QUARTERS WERE FORM :, ERLY AUTO DISPLAY ROOM IN BUILDING OCCUPIED BY KARICOFE COMPANY.

Uncle Sam is moving today. His Marianna postoffice is vacating the building on West Main street, next to Daggett's drug store and is locat- ing itself in one of the rooms of the building occupied by the Kari cofe Company-formerly the auto display room. The lease on the old building owned by the Lesser Investment and Realty Company, has expired It ran for period of five years In the bidding for new quarters the posroffice department was able to secure the room in the Karicofe building for S200 a year less than the rental asked by the Lesser interests. The department requires the owners of buildings used for postoffice purposes to sign a five-year lease, but the govern ment reserves the right to cancel the lease upon sixty days notice. The office has been located in the Lesser quarters for fifteen years. Prior to that time it was in the McClin- tock building on South Poplar St.
 Part of the equipment was moved to the new quarters yesterday and today the remainder of the fixtures, supplies, etc, will be moved.
 In the meantime public spirited citizens of Marianna are getting busy through Congressman Cara way, with the move to have the government immediately take steps to erect the long promised postoffice building on the government site on the northwest corner of Main and Church streets. Appropriations have been made for the building, but last year when bids were called for they were all too high. It is believed there has been a sufficient decline in the price of building ma terials and labor to enable con tractors to submit bid that will bring the cost of the new building within the limits of the appropria- ton, which is approximately S4O,- 900.
 No possible criticism attaches to MT. Karicofe for his efforts to get the postoffiee in the large building he has under lease. He did a very business-like and sensible thing. His location is well adapted to his line of business, but from the stand point of the convenience of the patrons of the office it fails to meet any of the requirements.
