COMMUNITY ADVERTISING.

At Starkville they are holding a sew
en- days bargain sale under the super
vision of the live and wide awake
chamber of Commerce, in that city.
The affair was given the widest publi-
city possible by the following methods (:
Eight pages of advertising in the Stark
Vile News, 5000 8-page circulars mail
ed to special list full page advertise
ment in Moben press, half-page in Win
ston County Jorunal. half-page in Choc-
taw Plaindealer. half-page in West
Point Leader, half-page in Columbus
Dispatch, 250 large signs put UP all
over the country, movie slide at Rex

College. Every merchant and business
man has an advertisement in the last
issue of the Starkville News, inviting
the people to call on them, making a
magnificent showing. That is just what
every business man in every town
should do every week in the year-have
an advertisement in the local paper. It
would make splendid impression on
the outside world and prove a profitable
investment The merchants of Stark
vile have offered several attractive
prizes besides making heavy reduction
in the prices Of their goods. The most
commendable and noteworthy thing a.
bout the affair is that all are working

Will Get Federal Aid.

At their meeting last week the state
highway commissioners adopted a
resolution offered by Commissioner
Henry through which $125,00O in
the way of federal aid will be re-
ceived by Kinds county for the build
ing of hard-surface road between
Jackson and Clinton, a distance of
10 or IL miles. This road is already
a good one, having been constructed
OF gravel few years ago, and kept
in fairly good condition, so that in
side of half an hour the Jackson man
can reach Clinton or vice versa, at
tend to his business and get back
home in an hour. This and other
gravel roads have cost Kinds county
great deal of money, but it has
been returned twofold in increased
values of lands, and the taxpayers
do not mind the burden, as shown
by their almost unanimous vote a
few weeks ago in favor of another
$1,O0O,0OO' bond issue for road build
ing and repairs. The board of su-
pervisors is even now negotiating
for the purchase of more gravel pits,
OF which there are several in the
county, and in course of time Kinds
county will boast $50 miles of the
best roads in the state.

LESS TIME WITH MORE IN TT
BOIL IT DOWN.

There has been deal of complaint
recently on account of the unreason-
ably prolonged meetings of organiza-
tions in Brookhaven so that we are
yielding to the temptation to give the
hint found in the following lines by
Frank l.. Stanton and then the anecdote
about Mark Twain
When you've got a thing to say.
Say it. Don't take half a day
When your tales got little in it.
Crowd the whole thing in a minute.
Life is short--a fieeting vapor--
Don't you fill the whole blamed paper
With tale, which. at a pinch.
Could be crowded in an inch.
Boil her down until she SINNERS:
Polish her until she glimmers;
When you've got thing to say,
Say it. Don't take half a day.
The danger of overriding an argu-
ment, political or otherwise, is illus
trated by Mark Twain's experience at
meeting to raise funds for foreign
missions. when the speaker had talk
ed 10 minutes" said Mark, II was so
impressed I decided that I would give
every cent I had with me. After an
other 10 minutes, concluded that I
would throw into the treasury all the
silver 1 had about me. 10 minutes
later decided I wouldn't give anything
and at the end of the talk, still 10 min
utes later. as the contribution plate
came around, I was so utterly exhaus-
ted by arguments that extracted So

NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS.
Damages After February 1st are 35
Per cent Instead of 10 Per Cent,

My attention has been called to
the fact that the general impression
prevails that only 10 per cent dam
ages are added to the regular taxes
that are not paid on or before Feb.
1st. This is erroneous. Those who
fail to pay their taxes on or before
FEB. lst and who have their pro-
pertles advertised and sold will be
llable and have to pay 80 per cent
damages in order to get such pro-
perty back.
l am making this announcement in
order that all may have due time to
make their tax payments and not
subject themselves and their proper
ty for the additional 35 per cent.

APPEALING STORY OF
FAMINE IN CHINA
From q Man on The Field In Sight Of
Starving Millions-Hundreds of
Thousands VIII Die.

China is having the greatest famine
she has had in fifty years. 1t is es-
timated that as many as forty millions
are without sufficient food. Beyond
question hundreds of thousands are
doomed to death despite the best ef-
forts of the relief committees. In this
province-Honan-we have over a mil
lion and a half starving and it would
take ten million dollars to save them
until harvest. The writer is Secretary
of the executive committee which di-
reefs the famine work for the entire
province. Our committee of about a
dozen meets daily in the Governors va
men and decide where we shall allot
the money we have received. 1t really
amounts to a decision as to whom we
shall let live and whom we shall let
die. 1t is tremendous responsibility.
Our committe has had about three hun
dred thousand dollars pass thru our
hands but this is mere bagatelle Then
millions are needed to meet the situa-
ton in this province. We will likely
be able to get about a million and a
half. We figure that about ten dollars
will save a life until .1arvest, How
would you like to live for five months
on ten dollars? But this amount will
keep the fame of life Pickering on in
China.
Today multitudes are living on chat,
bean Ausks roots bark and thistles.
1t is hard to visualize actual famine
If you have not seen it. Especially in
prosperous almost said sleek
America-it is difficult to make real
to ourselves a picture of men and wo-
men lying naked, dying by the roads
for the lack of food. There is some
thing understanding vague about
such picture. We are apt to put it
along side the story of Jack-the-Giant-
Killer and other unreal fairy stuff. But
L colemnly assure you that millions
are starving to death. The reality of
the situation is tragic and awful.
William ]. Bryan says that the dis
tinction between an aristocrat and a de-
mocrat may be found in their reaction
to the story of the Rich Man and Lag
arus. The aristocrat says, How good
of the Rich Man to give crumbs to the
beggar" The democrat says. What a
pity that anybody in all the world
should have to live on crumbs"
MY Cnrlstlan brethren, millions in Chi
ma haven't even got crumbs now. Christ
looked on the multitudes and He was
moved with compassion. Real compass
sion moves people. Compassion moved
Jesus from Heaven to earth and at last
to the cross. This same compassion is
moving the Gospel around the world.
If and individual B. Y. P. u, or
Sunday School would like to contribute
to this cause, you can send checks on
any bank in America and the money
will be Immediately available here up
on its receipt. You will also receive a
receipt from our committee Haste, for
the man and women are STARVING TO
DEATH.
