SINGING CONVENTION AT
MOUNT ORA CHURCH,

A very large crowd OF people
assembled at Mt Ora Baptist
Church two miles east Of La1rel
Sunday and enjoyed a fine sing
inr convention. The house cou'd
net seat one third Of the people
there.
Some Of the best singing we
have ever heard wae done at Mt
Ora. The community singing was
az good as it could be, and then
the special music added greatly to
the affair.
Several quartetts were present
and rendered some excellent songs
One Of the most attractive feat
ures of the day was two songs
the first sung by Mrs B R iris-
som and her five year old girl,
and the other by Miss Julia Hol-
field and her little sister. 1t would
be strange person, indeed, who
did not love that sort of singing.
The Mt Ora community is not
ed for its good people, good farms
good homes and enjoyable public
days.

HENRY FORD GIVES
VIEWS ON STRIKES

We cannot claim to do any better
than to quote from Henry Ford. Last

strikes. this week we are quoting
him on the wages of railroad mem
and you will remember that Henry
Ford runs railroad too, and does IL
most successfully. Read what be
says
TAKING 1T OUT OF WAGES
'"rhe rights and wrongs OF the rail-
road situation, whatever they may be
Will ali be tested sooner or later b,
this truth: Competent management
never draws its operating capitol out

The cheapest way and the most stupid
way to make both ends meet is TO cut

1t is not railroading that is respon.-

strike that shoulc have occurred long

managers against using railroad pro
perties as the roulette wheels of the
stock market. Such a strike would
have prevented what has occurred the
last 10 years, and would have sa we'd

lost their chance. Railroads now are

HURRAH, FOR YARDAMANl

The following is what We have bee
look for, aud we are glsd 1t has come
We have never before uttered o.
printed one word against Ex-presid.
eut Wilson, but we feel at liberty nov
to say what We think about this sci
appointed old would be Car.
We are glad this bra1en, foolhardJ
stunt has been pulled. II will help Us
TO make II unanimous.
People should rally together as ney
er before to resent this insult 10 the
iutellegence OF Mlssissipplans. We
know Senator Vardamau. We don I
need Wilson 10 tell W about him. As
between the two, We know whom 10
trust.
Whoever has had doubt in the past
as to who was right, vardaman or
Wilson, msy now see for himself
Who would sit in marble palace 10
Washington and dictate TO Mississ-
ippians as TO whom they should elect
to the United States Senator
II people don't raise up in masse
and save what independence they
have, such monstrosities as Wilson
and his punY followers VIII soon grap-
pie it out from under them.
This is the tune Of all times to
stand solidly and firmly for our indiv
ldaul convictions.
Anyway, read Wilson's letter TO
the people of Mlsslssippi

July %, 1922.
my Dear Mr. Caleb:
81 have your letter OF July 8. InI
reply let me say that ] am not in a
position to review Mr.. Nardaman's
record In Washington IN detail, but
/ can sum up my Impression Of him
In single sentence: | think that he
is thoroughly false and enthusiastically
and that it would be great detri
ment to Mississippi and the nation II
he should be returned to the senate.
With deep interest In the outcome
OF the contest in which you speak.
sincerely yours,
