DAILY PRESS Is
NOT DESTROYS
MAKING REPLY
Policy Of Indulging in Pure
ly Personal Controver-
sizes Has No Place
in This Paper.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

A very large number OF our read
ers have urged that The Daily Press
make reply to the printed pamphlet
that Rev. b. L. Bridges, pastor OF
the First Baptist church, had print
ed and distributed over the city last
Saturday, the pamphlet being what
is reputed to be a copy OF the
manuscript of the minister's ser
mon" he delivered from his pulpit
upon the Sunday morning previous.
The editor of this newspaper does
not wish to indulge in a personal
controversy with anyone, with It's
customary indulgence of vitriolic eX-
pressions, a policy that is distinctly
odious to this newspaper. Besides,
we consider the subject from which
the personal attack upon our char
acter was inspired is a closed is

Bitter controversies over a sub

to a purely personal basis, are cal

more injury than good. The pam
phlet in question, stripped of its
expressed and implied assault upon
the character of The Daily Press
and it's editor, and the personal
insults generally expressed therein
leaves nothing to which we could
very becomingly make reply with
out pursuing a line of expressed
thought that we constantly strive
to keep from appearing in the
columns of our paper The whole
subject as dealt with by this news

ed by a haze of vituperation, and
to go further with it would or could
be only a continuation of an aroused
feeling that we regard as would be
Iill-advised.
One thought that stands out pre-
eminently in such a matter, is that
the interests or welfare of the

remarks are published upon the
subject. There are SO many indi-

DRINKS SERVED
With FOOD BITS
SAYS A REPORT
Local Business Man Relates
q Story of a Doughnut
Episode in Paragould
Is Years Ago.
(FrOm Tuesdays S DalIy.J

I According to infusynac.~f reachlhS
= representative of The Daily Press,
Sunday was banner day IN the
dispensing or serving OF soda WATER
such as coca cola, soda pop, near
heer and the like at a NUMBER Oh
restaurant stands in the city. Ac-
cording to our source OF intorma-
ton. the serving of the beverages
did not constitute actual sales OF
tbe cold drinks, thereby violating
the Sunday closing law, but the
beverages were served with bits OF
food and that panic prices were
charged in the transactions. 1t is
said a restaurant may serve any
kind of soft drink with food sold
upon Sunday without running the
risk of violating the law. But we
don't know.
However, The Daily Press has
made no effort to ascertain Just
how great quantity of the bever-
ges was served, or who did the
serving, for the reason there is no
disposition upon the part OF the
reporter to cause anyone any EN-
barrassment by tr.slg 10 pry INTO
practices that some, perhaps, would
construe as being an evasion of the
law. We are not making any FUR
ther attempts to interpret the law.
We are leaving that art or science,
or whatever in the sam hlll' one
may be pleased to call it, to those
who profess to know how to do the
trick.
The reported serving of the cold
drinks last Sunday recalled to MIND
said leading BUSINESS man this
afternoon, an incident that happened
in Paragould about fifteen years
ago, when the town was thrown
into a local Sunday closing fight
that bore resemblance to the aero
batic stunts of a couple of house cats
with their tails tied together and
tossed across a clothes line.
The business man thus speaking
said upon that occasion, fifteen
years ago-we believe he said. a
certain restaurant in town in order
to "get around the SUNDAY closine
code, served z loughIut viii GIL r

of the delicious meats was exhausted
before all could partake of it. 1t
is said that an additional supply
of several hundred pounds could
have been used. Last Labor Day,
the committee in charge of the
barbecue, had several hundred
pounds left over and it was thought
a sufficient supply had been pre-
pared for yesterdays occasion.
The various contests that were
set out in the program were staged
with much interest. The whole pro-
gram of the day was presented
and executed in a most admirable
manner.
While the occasion was a huge
success in point of everybody hav-
ing great time, financially it
proved loss, it is saiu. Ordinarily
upon past occasions the money re-
ceived from concessions betrayed the
expenses of the celebration, but this
year the number of stands operating
was much less than heretofore, re-
sulting in considerably less cash re-
ceipts. However, the members OF
the committee have expressed them
selves as being we'll pleased with the
result of their efforts to stage a
big occasion which they did in
pleasing fashion.
Notwithstanding the vast crowd,
one of the largest ever assembled
upon the grounds, there was per-
feet order and, it is sad. not one
person was observed to be under
the influence of liquor or to exhibit
an inclination to conduct himself
in a manner other than he should
Those promoting the occasion ex
press themselves as feeling heartily
appreciative of the good spirit tha'
contributed so conspicuously to the
success of the occasion.

"They send first representative
to us here. He goes, for instance,
to the Land Department of the
Ukraine, which sends him out to
the various county agents. Usually
it, only takes week or two, and he
only needs to look at one or two
places.
He makes complete inventory of
buildings, equipment, and location
of streams. Then he sends word to
America what things are needed

trio power plant, machinery, etc.

"The farmers buy the equipment
in America, their agent signs the
contract with us here. Their goods
come in duty free"
what kind of a contract do they
get?" | asked.
He drew out contract. The
colonists were given the land and
buildings, and contracted to estab-
lish a sound farm and pay return
yearly of 10 per cent of their grain
crop and s per cent of their hay,
For the first three years this pay
ment was not demanded, but must
be put into improving the farm.
! The colonists must insure the
the land to others, but in case they
failed to handle it they must re-
turn it, all or part, to the Land De-
partment. If they hired peasants to
work for them they must do so in
accordance with the Union of Ag-
ricultural Workers.
For eighteen years they had the
land on these terms, and at the end
of that time they had first option
on renewal, subject to any new
land laws that might have arisen
in the meantime. The land which
they got in this way was the rich
black earth of the Ukraine.

harder for the industrial worker
to bring factory than it is for a

machinery. So at present we are
taking largely farmers.

farming communities, bringing their

offers a chance of a better living
