WoMENs INTEREST IN
POLITICS INCREASES
In Registration Ordered in Kinds CouEs
ty the Woman Are Coming
Out Faster Than Men.

Jackson.-Women who are eligible
to vote, or who will be after registra-
tion, are taking much more interest in
the question of qualifying themselves
this year than they did before. Here
in Jackson and Kinds County, where
new registration was ordered for
both the city and county the women
are coming forward faster than the
men. This is especially true in the
city. Reports from other parts OF the
state indicate that women in the cities
are showing more interest than those
in the rural districts. This is probably
due to the direct influence of women's
active in urging women not to shirk
this important civic duty.
While it is only necessary to be reg
istered four months before the general
election in November experince has
shown that delay is dangerous, and
those who procrastinate will find
themselves at the last minute just a
day or so too late to get on the books
in time.
Every county registrar will soon ad-
vertise the fact that he will bring the
registration books to each precinct in
the county, giving notice of the date
in the precinct to register all who
have not had opportunity to visit the
county seat. This must be done In
time for the registrar to reach every
precinct at least four months before
the election in November.
After the registrations close for the
general election, the pool books will be
made up and the county commission
ers will meet TO cuiI OUT All persons
who have not paid poll and other taxes
or who may be found to be disqualified
from any other cause.
In the primary elections it is not
necessary to be registered four months
before the primary; but those regis
tered and qualified to vote in the gen.
eral election will be entitled TO vote in
the primaries.

sl,0O0,000.OO FOR
FLOOD CONTROL
RESOLUTION RUSHED THROUGH
SENATE AND HOUSE WITH NJ
HOUR AFTER PRcFvsE7.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELIEF
100000 Carried in Army Bill To Be
Handled by Mississippi River Com
Mission Not Available Until July
Twill Relieve Situation.

Washington.-The sum of one mill
lion dollars for control of flood waters
of the Mississippi river. now at the
highest stage in years, was made avail
able by resolution rushed through
through the Senate and House within
an hour after the proposal made by
southern members had been approved
by Secretary Weeks and Director Daw-
es of the budget.
In presenting the resolution, chair
man Madden of the appropriations
committee explained that nearly ST.
100000 was carried in the pending
army bill to be handled by the Missis-
sippi river commission under the flood
control. This fund would not be avail
able until after July 1, but Mr.. Madden
declared an emergency existed and
that without immediate help there was
danger of tremendous loss Of life and
property damage, for otherwise the
and extend to the Valley.
Secretary Weeks, in letter to con-
gress, urging the immediate considera-
ton of the relief resolution, said the
flood stage was extreme, and that the
water was higher at places than ever
known before, that along stretches of
20 miles it was above the levees.
The loss of life, should the levees
be unable to stand the strain much
longer and break, would be incalcul-
able and would result in great nation
al disaster. Secretary Weeks said.
Chairman Madden said the resolu-
tion made no drain upon the federal
treasury, as it merely authorized the
use at this time of part OF the ap-
preparation soon to be available, and
would be deducted later from the bills
total.
Good headway has been made, he de-
clared, in constructing levees so as
to prevent flood disasters.

THREE REPUBLICANS AND
TWO DEMOCRATS.
CONSIDER PRIVATE OFFERS
Final Report Will Be Made to House
as Soon as compIeted-FriendIy
Deliberations Indicate UnanI-
nous Agreement.

Washington subcommittee con-
sisting of three Republicans and two
Democrats has been appointed by
Chairman Kahn Of the House Military
Committee and instructed to begin
drafting a report for the House con
tanning the committees recomenda-
tions and opinions of the four private
offers for development of the govern
ment's properties at Muscle Shoals,
Ala.
The creation Of the subcommittee
came as a result of more than two
weeks of executive sessions held by
the military committeeman to thresh
out evidence collected during the open
hearings and marked the first defi-
mite step since the public hearings
were concluded in the direction of a
final report for the House.
The subcommittee includes Repre-
sentatives Greene of Vermont, chair
man; Miller of Washington and Par
ker of New Jersey, Republicans: and
Ouin of Mississippi and Wright Of
Georgia, Democrats. While these five
men are working on a written report
the full committee decided upon a
program of recesses, meeting from
time to time, for conference with the
subcommittee.
The final report will be made to the
House as soon as completed in the
name of the Military Committee, un-
less division of opinion among the
members developes and it is found
necessary for the committee to report
in two or more dissenting opinions.
Chairman Kahn said the proceedings
in executive sessions to date had been
characterized by such friendly delib-
erations that he confidently expected
a unanimous report in the end.

PROPOSES RURAL
CREDIT SYSTEM
TO CONGRESS
SYSTEM SUGGESTED BY PREsI-
DENT WOULD REPLACE WAR
FINANCE BOARD.
CREDITS ON FARM PRODUCTS
Points Out That Additional Rural Cred
it Facilities Are Needed-Time
To Range From Six Months
To Three Years.

Washington. - President Harding s
recommendation to congress of legis-
lation providing farmers with credit
facilities as favorable as those enjoy
ed by commerce and industry may
lead to the establishment of ruraI
credits system entirely independent of
either the federal reserve system or
the federal land banks.
A new chain of banks which would
be linked up with a central corpora
tion at Washington to take the place
of the war finance corporation is pro-
posed. The system would be designed
to furnish credits on agricultural pro-
ducts and live stock over periods rang
ing from six months to three years.
which are not provided through the
agencies already established by fed
eral legislation.
That additional rural credits facili-
ties are needed was urged in the re-
port of the joint commission of agri-
cultural inquiry headed by Represent
ative Anderson, of Minnesota. The bill
introduced by Representative Ander-
son in the house and by Senator Len
root Of Wisconsin, in the senate, how
ever, providing for credits of this ma
ture through the federal land banks is
meeting with criticism. Objection is
made to confusing this new type of ag-
ricultural credit with the long-term
loans on land which are provided by
the federal land banks. A strong
movement appears to be developing
for the establishment OF an entirely in
dependent system.
system.
