LAFAYETTE COUNTY CLUB
ORGANIZED AT M. s.. G. w.

Columbus, Miss, Jan. 16, 1922.
Editor Eagle: Lafayette County has
this session, for the ffst time in it's
history, enrolled its full quota Of
students, ia, in the Mississippi State
College for Women here at Columbus.
County pride as well as college spirit
prompted US to organize ourselves in
I to club bearing the name Of our
Il home county.
Our officers are: President, Vera
Grace Jones; Vice President, Parkie
Childress; Secretary Treasurer, Bessie
Davis; Reporter, Wilma Smith. The
motto which signifies the spirit Of our
|club is "Shed your troubles and don
your aprons, all for jolly good
times" and the colors are BLOOD red
and grasshopper green.v
The first meeting, after organizing,
was held in Vera Grace jones' room,
40 Shattuck Hall, Saturday night be-
fore Christmas. The room was beau
|tifully decorated in holly, pot flowers,
and Christmas bells. For entertain
ment the hostess had planned num-
Der of games, prizes being offered to
the winners.
A delightful salad course with hot
chocolate was served, and last came
the Christmas pie, which was liter
ally full of surprises and favors. Like
little Jack Horner who sat in the
corner eating his Christmas pie, we
put in our thumb but did not pull out
a plum-but our club pins which had
been ordered for some time, but none
knew of their arrival except our
president. Dangling from the pie
were the favors-red and green blot
tiers in the shape of Christmas bells.
The members of our county club
are: Bessie Davis, Gladys Patterson,
Vera Grace Jones, Parkie Childress,
Leila Ivy, Velba Sneed, Birdie Smith,
Lottie Coleman, virgie Bedenbaugh,
Irene johnson, Wilma Smith, and
Audrey Bedenbaugh who is an hon
orary member, an ex-student here, and
who is teaching near Columbus.
We take pride in saying M. S. G. w.
has been accepted as an Al All
Southern College. Three Of our home
county girls will graduate in June,
after having taken the full four years
college course. They are: Parkie
Childress, of Free Springs; Vera
Grace Jones, of Burgess, and Bessie
Davis Of Tula. We hope as these
three go out after graduation that
other girls from home will be ready
to fill the county's quota by entering
here next year. We would be delight
ed to correspond with any girls from
home who want to know more about
M. S. C. w. with the view of entering
here next session. 81

F FRANCE To BACK
BELGIUM ON ITS
RUSSIAN POLICY
M. Barthou Has Support of
Cabinet in Resisting En-
croachment Upon Private
Property in Russia.
tBy The Associated Press)

Paris. May 3 (by the Associated
Press. )-France sticks with Bel
GUM on the policy toward the
Russian soviet and M. Barthou will
return to Genoa Friday, having
the full approval of the govern
ment. This announcement was
made this afternoon at the conclu-
sion of the cabinet meeting. NJ.
Barthou made complete statement
of the actions of the French dele
cation at the Genoa economic con-
ference and the ministers went
over the text of the memorandum
to the soviet delegates.
When the discussion was ended
1t was discovered that the seeming
divergence between Premier Poin-
care and M. Barthou had disap-
peared This difference OF opinion
arose more from a misunderstand-
ing of the method of procedure
than from the principle involved.
M. Barthou has beind him the
full cabinet in resisting any en-
croachment upon private property
in Russia and has instructions to
remain solidly in harmony with
the Belgian delegation The decl-
sion of the cabinet council is in
terpreted in official circles as
meaning that the personal sigma
ture of the French delegation to
the memorandum to the~soviets is
null and void, and that it will be
necessary for the French and
Belgian delegations to agree on
some modification concerning the
article In question which would be
acceptable to the British and Ital-
ian delegations before the French

SOVlEIENvOYs
NOT DELIGHTED
VI H PROPOSAL
Allied Program For the Re-
construction of Russia
Does Not Meet the Ap-
provaI of BOlsheVik.
tBy The Assoeiated Press. }

Genoa, May 3 (by the Associat-
ed Press.) )-The soviet plenipoten-
tiaries are mot delighted" with the
project OF the powers for the re.
construction of Russia. Such IS
the brief summary emanating from
soviet sources of the bolshevik
views on the memorandum on
which Europe's statesmen have
worked SO laboriously.
The fact that the document does
not mention recognition of the
soviet government and ignores the
suggestion of governmental loans
is said to displease the communist
leaders who are now comforting
with Moscow.
Belgium has not signed the
memorandum, and word was re-
ceived here this evening that
France has determined to stand by
Belgium, but as yet there is no Of
ficial announcement in Genoa of
Frances intention.
All the leaders expressed salts
faction at today's plenary session,
believing that it embodied the in
auguration of far-reaching efforts
to improve the finances of Europe.
The essential points are limita-
tion of the issue of paper money,
taxing partly with gold. economiz-
ing in the use of gold, and co-ordi-
nation of gold. The United States.
said the chairman, with almost
half the worlds gold. could join in
the future study of the problems
without involving itself in politi-
cal difficulties, and could help Eu-
rope as well as herself.

tion by the administration.
The suggestion has been made,
lit was said in high official circles,
that such portions of the report
of the Brown reorganization COM
mittee, which does not require leg
islation to become effective, might
be put into force by executive or
der, and the remainder submitted
to congress for action.
Steps along the line of regroup-
ing already has been taken. Secre-
tary Mellon and Secretary Hoover
are understood to have approved
the issuance OF an order transfer
ring the statistical section of the
customs service located in New
York.
This change is sought by the
commerce department, it was ex-
plained, to permit of an expansion
OF the governments facilities for
compiling data on the country's ex-
ports and imports through a uni
fications of the work now being
done Jointly by the treasury and
the commerce department.
Another transfer, declared to
have been under consideration
would place the coast guard in the
navy department, to link the fed
eral activities under one head. In
ability of some members of the
cabinet to agree on proposed trans
fers of functions among their re-
spective departments according to
some high officials, has delayed a
more extensive Encouragement of
administrative duties.

POISON SUSPECT
GR|LLED; SAYS
SHE s INNOCENT
Boasted That She Had
$4,000 "Coming Within
a Couple of Weeks"
Prosecutor Told.
(By The Associated press.)

Cleveland, Ohio, May 3.--Much
significance was placed by County
Prosecutor Edward c. Stanton on
information furnished him today
that a woman poison suspect had
boasted that she had $1,000 "com-
ing within a couple of weeks"
This remark, the prosecutor said,
was made several weeks before the
sudden death of the woman's fifth
husband, according to his inform
ant. The woman, three of whose
husbands dice under mysterious
circumstances, is now, under inves-
tigation. She is suspected of hav-
ing committed the murders in order
to collect $11 900, but is being held
on another charge not connected
with the murders.
Prosecutor Stanton said his in
formant is man who had shared a
room with another man at the
woman's rooming house at the time
her last husband died. He told
Stanton, according to the prosecu-
tor. that they had advanced the
woman money for which she gave
them advance rent receipts. She
borrowed so much, Stanton said he
was told, that when they finally
asked what she intended to do IL
they desired to move, the woman
replied:
"I've got $4,000 coming within a
couple of weeks and I'll pay back
all / borrowed above what the
rents amount to-"
With the death of her husband
$4,000 insurance was available.
Stanton said.
The woman under suspicion was
subjected to another severe grilling
by the county prosecutor today, but
she continued to maintain her in
hoecncc.
