GOVERNOR COMPLIMENTED ON
STATE ECONOMY CRUSADE
Governor Nestos is daily receiv-
ing letters from county commission
ers and county auditors in reply to
his letter urging enforced economy

troublesome times, and with the ex-
ceptions of on or two counties where
League commissioners refuse to CO.

hearty cooperation and commend him
for starting the economy movement.
Several suggestions for revision Of
existing laws and their administra-
tion, including taxation measures.
made by the writer's may lead to ben
eficial discussion and legislation. The
governor has always been much inter-
ested in taxing problmes and is con-
sidered quite an authority on tax leg
islation. AS member of the legis-
lature he was responsible for the nom
political tax commission law and for
legislation permitting classification Of
property for more equitable taxing
purposes.

HOPE COMMUNITY CLUB
ORGANIZED FRIDAY EVENING
ORGANIZATION. STARTED WITH
MEMBERSHIP OF OVER ONE
HUNDRED.

The Hope Community Club started
on its career most successfully last
Friday evening at meeting called
by the Committe who had been ap-
pointed to present method of or
ganization and arrange details.
The weather during the afternoon
was threatening and by suppertime
had reached the conition of small
blizzard. For a time it appeared that
the meeting would have to be post
poned. However in spite of the weat-
her the crowd began to gather and by
the time set for the meeting every
chair in the hall was filled and lots
of people were standing.
Alexander Karr, of Fargo, who has
been devoting large share Of his
time the past few years to community
organization work, was the speaker
of the evening. He gave very inter-
esting and instructive address on the
advantages and benefits to the COM
munity of an organization, illustrat-
ing his points with statements of ac-
tual occurances in other communities.
At the concluson of his address it was
an easy matter to proceed with the
Organization. Proposed constitution
and bylaws were presented in type
written form to all present and
tam noro nv, r,<3 oorr x,ore oloo+o<3 oc foI
lows: President, ]. D. Parkman; Vice
President, Mrs. e. j. Walsh; Treas
urer, X. w. Haviland; Directors, Mr..
O.. l.. James, Mrs. H. w. Pearson,
Mrs. c. K. Smalley. H. G. Erstad was
appointed Secretary. The business ses-
sion was followed by a short program
after which lunch was served.
After the lunch was cleared away
and the chairs removed the orchestra
tuned up and the dancing started and
continued until after three o'clock
and would have continued longer but
for the fact that the musicians were
played out.
Over one hundred signed up for
membership In; the Club and the Of
ficers and directors held q meeting
during the evening asd iss s-,eGsa call
for the first annual meeting for the
election of permanent officers and the
approval of the constitution and by
laws to be held on Friday, February
3rd.
These community meetings have
been among the most successful meet
ings that have been held in the com
munity and promise a great future
for the Club. There is unlimited
work for the upbuilding of the COM
munity that can be accomplished by
this organization in education, social
financial and other lines. Let'sgo.

4 PERSONAL MESSAGE FReN
MAIL CARRIER TO PATRONS
PATRONS CAN AID IN IMpROy.
ING SERVICE BY KEEPING
UP THE ROADS

What is the condition of the an
proach to your mail box?
Is 1t in good shape for the winter:
Section S27 of the postal laws and re-
gulatons says that each mail box
shall be erected in such a position
that it is easily accessible for the de-
livery and collection of mail by the
carrier without leaving his convey
ance and that patrons shall keep clear
the approaches to their boxes by prom
ply removing .obstructions which may
render difficult or impossible the de-
livery of mail by the carrier"
From the reading OF this section 1t
Is plain that the department does not
intend that there should be drifted
snow, rut or mudhole In front of
the box. Patrons sometimes wonder
why the rural carrier does not seem
to have the smooth even temper that
1t is expected he should have A glance
at the approach to the mail box will
in many cases solve the mystery. If
there is rut or mudhole he can't
ehappy as he sees the life go out Of
new set of tires or the last bit Of en-
ergy taken from his already tired
horse.
Once in a while you meet a patron
who puts up the argument that the
carrier is paid for his work and that
ne should get out of his conveyance
where the approach is not In good
condition and thus avoid cutting q
rut. This is not expected by the de-
partment and causes great delay to
the mail to say nothing of the phys
ical exertion.
Did you ever stop to think that you
are entitled to your mail Just as soon
as the carrier can get it to you, So
is your neighbor who lives beyond
you on the same route So does he. A
little delay because of a poor ap-
proach makes the service Just that
much poorer to every patron who
lives beyond that place on the route.
You can help the service and put
Joy in the heart of the carrier IL you
will see to it that the approach to
yourbox (also the box) is in good
condition at all times. 1t really is
an inexpensive proposition and will
a id many times its cost to the ap-
pearance of your property.
Stamps kept on hand are great
convenience and time saver, too. You
can't lose on them. They are safer
than government bonds because thev
never sell below par.
Think this over, Mr.. Patron. Ap-
ply the Golden rule and watch the
service improve II it doesn't int
prove you can have the supreme sat-
isfaction of knowing that you have
done your part.
(The above was written by rural
mail carrier and will be endorsed by
every carrier in the land. Rural route
patrons could do much to improve
the service by following the advice
given in the above. )-Cass County

Fled, but I saw nothing but respect for those in authority and willingness to work. This is due to your parole laws, and their just and impartial ad- ministration by the penitentiary com- missioners. We have no such parole law in Mississippi When man is sentenced 60 three years imprisOn- ment, he serves three years, unless he is pardoned. Consequently, he has mo incentive to make a good record. If he has no pull he has to serve the full term and it doesn't shorten his term to be good. But with you, a con- vict gets direct results from his good
 conduct His length of service is up to him. If he wants to shorten the time by two-thirds, all he has to do is
 behave himself, and he knows that no amount of pull can keep him off the
 parole list if he deserves to be on it." MT. Williamson has highly cOmpli- mentary of the commissioners, declar-
 ing that no more efficient executives nor patriotic and humane citizens could be found. "The governor is to be greatly commended" he said. flor

WEEKLY COTTON TRADE REVIEW
Bullish Crop Conditions Balanced by
 the Foreign Situation.

New Orleans, Aug. 27.-Fairly wide price changes occurred in the cotton market last week, support arising through complaint from the interior of deterioration. Against the market was the foreign tue+ion and labor trouble in this country heavy liQuida- tiCn from the long side in closing ses- sions constituted a good part Of the offerings.
 Highest prices marked the opening and low prices the final session of the week from advances of 36 to 65 points over the close of the preceding week the market fell off 5 to 73 points un- der closing at net losses of g to65 points.
 October traded as high as 22.S0 cents a pound, as low as 21.44 and closed at -915O spot prices lost 13 points in middling which closed at 21.75 against 14.SS on the close of that week last year.
 Weather was considered unfavor- able in Texas and Oklahoma, where drouth and heat prevailed.
