No Parting There.

The following poem appeared anoym-
ously in the Liberal News;
It was midnight on the ocean,
Net a street-car was in sight,
The sun was shining brightly,
And it rained all day and night.
1t was summer day in winter
The rain was showing fast;
A barefoot boy with shoes on
Stood sitting in the grass.
1t was evening and the rising sun
Was setting in the west;
The little fishes in the trees
Were budding in their nests.
A heavy rain was pouring down,
The moon was shining bright,
And everything that you could see
Was hidden out Of sight.
While the organ peeled potatoes,
Lard was rendered by the choir;
While the sexton rang the dishrag,
Some one set the church on fire.
Holy smoked! the preacher shouted
In the rain he lost his hair,
Now his head resembles heaven,
For there is no parting there.

BANK PLACES BAN
ON LOANS FOR FEED
First National Bank of Green
wood Gives Timely Advice
to Farmers.

Greenwood, Miss, March 26.-The
First National Bank of Greenwood
has made announcement that after
July /, 1921, no loans will be made
by this institution when the proceeds
are to be used for the purchase of
feed.
While the directors of the First
National Bank of Greenwood are
unanimous in their opinion that there
should be reduction in cotton ac-
reage," said F. T. Ransom, acting
Vice-president of the institution, I'VE
do not care to assume the position
of self-appointed guardians of the
business of the customers of this
bank.
There is one phase of this ques-
tion, however, in which we, as bank
ers, are vitality interested and that
is the question of credit risk. For
example 1t is an axiom in banking
that a merchant who deals in one
exclusive commodity cannot be con-
sidered on the same credit basis as
one who deals in humber of differ
ent commodities.
The same principle is applicable
to farming, and the one-crop man,
whether it be corn, cotton, wheat,
or anything else, cannot be consider
ed in the same credit class as the one
who produces diversified crops. This
is especially true when he does not
avail himself of the God-given oppor-
tunity to raise that which he needs
for his own sustenance.
When a planter has to pay for all
the feed as we'll as the other expen-
ses Of raising crop, there has to
be an exceedingly favorable cotton
market or he will not be able to pay
out. Under such conditions it can
hardly be said that such loans are
very desirable for a bank to make.
"The function of banking is to
serve the credit needs of the country
and 1t is not hospital to administer
to those who refuse to help them
Selves"

LONE STAR TRAIL
STATE MEETING
Will Probably be Held Here A
bout April 25th-Manager
Here Yesterday.

Mr.. H. L. Brian, Secretary Manager
of the Lone Star Trail returned here
last evening to confer with the local
organization and the Board of Trade
in reference to calling the state or
ganization meeting at Brookhaven.
The Board of Trade had already
asked for this meeting and at this
conference it was agreed that Brook
haven was the ideal place for same,
and general plans were laid for max
ing it one of the greatest highway
meetings ever held in Mississippi.
While here, Mr.. Brian received a
telegram inviting him to represent
the Lone Star Trail Association of
Louisiana, in a hearing before the
Road Committee of Louisiana Consti-
tutional Convention now in session at
Baton Rouge, which is enlarging it's
Highway Commission to a regular de-
partment of the state government, to
take over all these national highways
as they run through Louisiana and
with connecting links form State
Highway System to be completed and
maintained by the state. The hear
ing is set for Wednesday evening and
will delay the convention here for a
few days, but it will be held probab-
ly around the 25th. -
Mr.. Brian will return here imme-
diately from Baton Rouge to fix the
date of the convention, get out pro-
grams, invitations and zother prefi-
minaries. Mr.. Brian has just return
ed from Laurel, Ellisville and Collins,
where he says the interest in the
highway is fine and they are prepar-
ing to send large delegations to
Brookhaven on the date of the con-
Vention.

CAR RUN INTO TRAIN
TWO CARS IN COLLISION
Collision at Terry -Smash-Up at Nor

Very Trivial.

Harvey Turnbough and Doris
Brister we're going to Ken
lucky Wednesday in Briscoe car
and had proceeded in good shape un-
til just north of Terry at sharp
turn in the road when their car col
lided with that of w. w. Hester, Of
Terry. Most of the damage done was
to Mr.. Hester's car, while one of the
ladies occupying it received several
abrasions of the skin.
AS luck would have it, Holton
Turnbough was returning here from
trip to Jackson in another of the
Turnbough cars and picked up the
stranded autoists and brought them
on in to Terry where those who need

THE NORFIELD ACCIDENT.
A Chevrolet Touring Car owned by
Mr.. Clyde Day of Brookhaven, while
in the hands of Clem Cochran of Nor
field, was badly damaged Wednesday
morning when it collided with a pass
ing freight train at the latter place.
From what can be learned of the
accident it seems that Irby Goss took
the car down Tuesday afternoon to
Cochran, a prospective purchaser,
leaving it with him for trial. La
ter on when Cochran and Monett
Smith, his companion, headed toward
the railroad crossing freight train
was passing and the car was run in
to the train. ~
The body of the car was badly
smashed up as well as other damage
to the motor, but luckily the occu-
pants were uninjured. Later in the
day the car was towed back to Brook
haven.

UNIT WORK
IN MISSISSIPPI
Program to. = 4led Out in
state Board of
Health.

At the present time most of the
countries Of the world are turning
their thought to the question of
Child Welfare. We are at the be-
ginning of a new era which will
also recognize the mother of the
child. 1t has been said by some that
to have a healthy child you must
begin with it's grandmother. We
are content to start with the mother.
The conservation and the .cultiva-
tion of the child's health are recog-
nized today as fundamental and es-
sential factors in the program of
Public Education.
1t was a stunning indictment of
our democracy that the tragedy of
the world war was needed to reval
such vital source of national peril
and weakness.
Statistics show that forty per cent
of the young men at the age of the
flower of manhood were unfit for first
class service in the defense of their
country in time Of war. If they are
UNIT for first class service in time
of war, they are unfit for best service
to themselves and their families in
time of peace. An economic loss
that can hardly be overestimated. 1t
has been known by some for years
before the war, that three fourths of
the twenty-five million school chill
dren in the United States have health
defects, which are actually or poten-
TALLY injurious to them as prospec-
tive good citizens of the public.
Efforts in this health program for
Child Welfare have so far been spas
modic and unco-ordinate. Standards
are needed for genuine constructive
progress in this branch of health
work. The following program will
be carried out in Mississippi by the
Bureau during 1921 with such ad-
ditions or changes as may be deem
ed necessary or advisable.

REPORT STATE LAND
OFFICE SHORT 1851
Auditor Claims Glaring Irregu-
laritieS Found in Accounts
of Office.

Jackson, Miss. March 25.-Gov.
Russell this afternoon authorized
publication of the finding of the au-
ditors employed to investigate the
state land office, which report is sum-
med up in a letter to the governor
from the auditor showing a shortage
OF nearly $4,000 in public funds
and nearly as much more in amounts
due sheriffs and chancery clerks.
w. Q. Sharp, the auditor who made
the examination, in his letter to the
governor says: Il am just completing
the audit Of the records of the land
Office, which disclose a number of
very glaring irregularities.
In the matter of the settlements
with the state treasurer for taxes to
counties and levee boards of land re-
demptions the ascertained shortage
aggregates nearly $4,000 of public
founds."
In addition to this amount the au-
ditor reports receipts of fees for
clerks and sheriffs unaccounted for
of $S,621.S9; that is to say, he
found no vouchers to credit against
this balance which appeared to be
due to clerks and sheriffs.
The attorney general advised the
auditor that the state of Mississippi
was not a party of interest in the
funds collected for the clerks and
sheriffs by the land commissioner.
hence this latter amount is not in
cluded in the alleged shortage in
public funds" above referred to. Nor
does the report of the auditor at
tempt to submit in detail the amounts
due to clerks and sheriffs. The audi
tor says however, that he commune
Gated with the clerks and sheriffs of
the various counties and "the replies
are mainly from the present incum-
bents of those Offices and substan-
tiate our findings"
The report of the auditor covers
the period from January, 1916, to
Februaryq 8th, 1921, during the ad-
ministration of the office by the late
M. A. Brown. The new land COM
missioner, R. D. Moore, took charge
OF the office on February s, last. At
ter his appointement by the govern
or The had some trouble with B. F.
Brown, the deputy land commissioner
who refused for time to turn over
keys or to recognize him officially,
and this wrangle brought on the
pending suit in which Brown is ask
ing a quo warranto writ against
Thomas Christmas, who was appoint
ed deputy by Mr.. Moore. This case
will be heard March 20.

CAvE-IN AT GRAVEL
PIT IS NEAR FATAL
Enoch Laird Caught Under Fifteen
Foot Gravel Dump-COmplete-
ly Buried.


A cavein at Hilton's gravel pit
miles west of town, almost buried
young Enoch Laird Thursday after
noon, the accident just stopping short
of a fatality. Other than a number
of bruises the young fellow will be
none the worse for his experience in
few days more.
The cave-in was fifteen feet deep
and caught Laird beneath it, the gra-
vel just covering his head. Quick
work by companions in digging him
out saved him from suffocation.
For a short time a good deal of
excitement was created in town by
the accident, the report being at the
time that Grover Storm, Derrill
Laird and Enoch Laird had all been
killed by the cavein and were buried
beneath it.

Lieut.. COney Loses in Fight for Life.

Natchez, Miss, March 3o.-Lieu-
tenant w. D. Coney, trans-continen-
tai aviator, who crashed into a tree
near Crowville, La, in the morning
of March 25 while attempting to
break his own record in an ocean to
ocean fight from Jacksonville, Fla,
to San Diego, CAL, died at hospital
here at $50 p. m.
From the first, little hope was held
out for recovery as the aviator suf-
fered a fracture of the third, fourth
and fifth lumbar vertabrae, but the
wonderful vitality shown caused his
physicians to think that there might
be fighting chance until this morn
ing.
Lieutenant Coney was conscious
and rational until this morning. His
mother, Mrs. E. f. Coney, and bro
ther, E. F. Coney, of Brunswick, Ca,
and aunt, Mrs. w. H. Device of Jack
sohville, Fla, were with him at the
end having arrived here Sunday also
Major N. B. Claggett, of the Fourth
Aviation Corps, Atlanta. Mrs. Coney
has been at her sons bedside con-
stantly since arrival, and he realized
that he could not live, and endea-
vored to reconcile her.
Members of the Natchez Chapter
of the Red Cross and War Mothers
has ministered to the mother of Lieut.
Coney, Sand from the moment that
the aviator arrived here for treat
ment, the Natchez Post Of the A.
merican Legion has kept members
constantly at the sanitarium to rem
der any assistance possible and the
gallant night Of Lieutenant Coney has
stirred the sympathy Of the entire
city.
