guests were invited to dance at the
Elks Home.
The visit to Aberdeen of this
booster party means an opportuni-
ty for this city to become one of
the big points on the Mississippi
Valley Highway Trail. which starts
in Minnesota and purposes TO ter
inmate at New Orleans.
The immediate purpose of Aber-
deems interest at this time is to
have this highway defect at Tupelo
via Nettleton through Aberdeen on
to Columbus and from there through
Macon and on through Meridian in
its course to New Orleans.
1t is most probable this will be
the route. However. Aberdeen and
the people along the route of this
trail in this county must be up and
doing, else the highway will take
another course. Okolona and West
Point are after having it to pass
through them. In that case, it
would be of no bene fit to Aberdeen.
though it should elbow from Glib
son and pass through here as the
old Burlington route does.
Six miles of road in the fourth
supervisors district must be rocked
to couple up the rock road between
Aberdeen and Nettletor. There is
no money to the credit of the road
fund in this district with which to
do this work. This suggests that
an election be held to authorize
bonds to obtain this money.
The building of this link means
the getting of this highway to pass
through Aberdeen. The govern
ment will pay one-half for the con-
struction of this road. Let's put
up our half.
Don't permit this highway to get
by. Remember Aberdeen's mis-
takes in the past as to railroads.
Profit by mistakes this town has
made. Highways are as essential
to the life of towns now as railroads
were then. Remember that, and
cinch this highway while it can be
had.

Mississippi and Eucation

Since the close of the worlds war
Mississippi has led all the states in
the Union, in proportion to her tax
able wealth, in educational recon
struction. A million dollars is now
being spent on improvements and
additions to her agricultural col
lege. She is devoting a million
dollars year to the maintenance
fund of her higher educational in
stitutions, and four millions a year
to her common schools. this latter
in addition to the three mill levy
of the counties. The last legisla-
ture authorized the sale of five mil
lion dollars worth of FIVE and one
half per cent bonds for improving
state Institutions This record is
all the more remarkable in that
Mississippi is an agricultural state
and has no large cities where wealth
proverbially accumulates.-

AGRICULTURAL LOAN
AGENCY Is FORMED
Promises Aid to Farmers and
Live Stock breeders

At a meeting of the members O
the committee named bv the Wa
Finance Corporation, held in Jack
son Monday, October 3. the Agri
cultural Loan Agency for Mississip
pi perfected organization by elect
ing additional members of the com
mittee.
The organization of this loar
agency is an indication of the Wal
Finance Corporation to extend its
aid and it is very gratifying to know
that those who are directing its af-
fairs are interested in helping the
agricultural and live stock interests
They have already rendered SUBJ
stantiaf aid and encouragement in
Mississippi and are ready to do
more along that line.
Under the plan of the War FL
nance Corporation, operating thro'
the agricultural loan agencies.
banks that have lent money for
agricultural purposes, including the
growing. harvesting and marketing
of agricultural products or the
breeding. raising, fattening or mar
keting of live stock may. in turn.
borrow money from the Finance
Corporation, provided their appli-
cations are acted on favorably by
the Loan Agency tn their own state.
The Loan Agency can deal only
with banks direct, the purpose OF
the plan being to aid banks in car
rying their agricultural loans. No
advance will be made for a longer
period than one year. and may be
extended at the option of the FL
nance Corporation.
At present the interest rate on
such advances is 6 per cent per an
mum; however. on advances for six
months. not subject to renewal and
secured by liberty or other govern
ment bonds or warehouse receipts
a rate of 5 IL per cent is offered.
The Mississippi Loan Agency
has no authority to grant or reject
applications for advances, but will
make it's recommendations to the
War Finance Corporation.
Mississippi banks that are now
carrying agricultural loans can Sc
cure funds from the War Finance
Corporation that will enable them
to make further agricultural loans
or loans of other kinds and thus
promote the interests of their COM
and of the state.

THE M. v. H. BOOSTERS AR

Were Met by a Large DeIega-
ton of Enthusiastic Citizens

The M. V. H. Boosters arrived in
the city on schedule time Monday
afternoon. They were met on the
Gibson Pike by Lions, Rotarians
and enthusiastic citizens in autos
placarded with appropriate good
road notices and expressions OF
welcome. About twenty or more
cars trimmed in orange and white
bunting were in the welcoming par
ade. The streets and business
houses of the city were decorated
with United States flags, and wide
bands of orange and white bunting
spanned Commerce street. The
City Hall was fittingly decorated
with flags and the colors of the
highway. Over the entrance to
the City Hall Mr.. A. f. Stinson,
city electrician, had devised an i'm

lamps. rejecting the light in burn

held in that city Wednesday.
On arrival in Aberdeen they were

the address of welcome, followed
by short spicy talks from members

CONE AND SEE
Cotton Prices

The price of cotton has gone
down considerably yesterday and
today. In the face of the govern
ment report and on the amount OF
cotton ginned there is no valid rea-
son for cotton to have gone down
so much. The fluctuation of the
market indicates that it is nervous
and unsettled and in the hands of
the speculators. That being true
it is difficult to tell just what is
best. whether to sell now or hold
longer. 1t is believed by some
that the money trust opened up
the money market for cotton in or
der that the farmers over the coun-
try might pay the bankers money
that had been borrowed and that
when the banks have collected that
there will be tight times again and
cotton forced further down. Others
believe that the short crop will ul-
timately force higher price. Or
dinarily it would. but the money
king has his hand in on this thing
and the crop is small enough that
it can be controlled by the combi-
nation of a few hundred million
which can easily be pooled. No
man knows today what cotton will
bring tomorrow or next Thursday.

fly about from one relief organization ,
to another and each does its bit, but
nothing important happens except
the unfortunate refugee keeps right
ca diving. 1nis sort OF thing has been
going on for more than two years and
a. Val go ON for another two yeas
or until the refugees are all dead, IN
less the world comes TO a realization
of the magnitude of the task and
takes it up in earnest
1t is now four years since these
successive waves of refugees began to
roll out from European Russia. They
came first after the revolution of May
1917, then after the second revolu-
tion in November of that year, and
they have kept coming at irregular
| intervals ever since.
| Nobody knows with certainty how
many men, women and children have
| left Russia in fear and panic and are
row living in want and destitution,
without friends or country. The fig
ures compiled by the state depart
ment in January. 1921, gave an ag-
gregate of more than two million.
Since then there has been the Kron-
stadt migration into Finland, and
There is always a steady filtration
across the borders of Soviet Russia,
adding an unknown number. Twenty
eight European countries have groups
of these refugees within their borders.
The situation, as it exists today, is
undoubtedly an internatinol RESPONSE
bility for governments to meet. Pub
lie opinion can help by demanding
that they meet it promptly and ade-
lquately. All that we can hope to do
is simply to convey an adequate idea
of the imminent seriousness of the
situation. There is a great catastro-
lphe impending.
Two winters ago, three hundred
thousand prisoners of war died in ST.
IBERIA because governments could not,
or would not. move to save them. ST.
IBERIA is a long way off and the death
of those men made, after all, little
stir in the world. But the impending
Russian refugee disaster is going 10
happen in the very center of civilized
Europe, and it cannot be overlooked
or forgotten.

PARIS. (By l.)-For some time
the Russian refugee situation in
Eastern Europe has been going from
bad to worse. II is far and away the

failed and every plan has gone wrong.
The Russian refugee crisis grows

he has been reduced is, for all practi-
