trouble we never had a fcodiess day
and if we did we never had two of
them in succession.
But that is exactly what is going on
in Central and Eastern Europe today.
Literally thousands Of innocent chill
dren are dying for lack of nourish-
ment They are wandering about eat
ing roots, grass, anything to try 70
satisfy the growing pangs of hunger
The same thing is true Of men and
women. Homeless, clothed in rags,
living on anything that offers even the
meanest nourishment, they are stumb-
ling on praying for the relief that
must come if they are to live.
This is the reason for the campaign
for funds by the American Jewish
Relief Committee in Kentucky the lat
ter part of March.

Although not a Jew himself, and al

stirred by the appeal of the American

contribution of 81 to the headquarters
of the Relief Committee, National

In a letter to Col. Fred Levy, Of
Louisville, State Chairman of the
campaign to raise $150,o00 in Ken
lucky, Mr.. Gasscock says:
Enclosed find check for So to help
the starving people in Europe. Please

I am no Jew, but have sympathy for

Avoidable Auto
Accidents

Recklessness, intoXication, ma
MIA for speed, and incompetence are
some of the reasons given by metro
politan papers for the toll of death
exacted in a number of states by
motor vehicles, one paper asserting
that at the present rate, the coun-
try will lose through automobile
accidents in the next four or five
years, as many persons as it lost
on the field of battle during the
World War.
Were our army to lose over 49,
600 men a year in battle, the "hor-
rors of war" would be on our minds
constantly, and we should demand
that it be stopped, declares another
journal, but the automobiles pick
off one, or two, or three at time,
and after the first few hours of
horror and indignation, we take
little note of them; and yet says
the same paper, chose killed are
Just as dead, and their loss causes
as much anguish and misery as
though all had persisted together.
The fact remains, these fatal ac-
cidents are a challenge to the de-
cency and sanity of the United
States.-Moss Point Advertiser.

Virgins Sees Better Day
For Cotton Farmer

That the majority of the farmers
Of Mississippi are going to market
their cotton through the co-opera-
tive marketing system is the state
nent of B. B. Virgins, chairman
of the Farm Bureau Cotton Asso-
ciatibn, in a recent interview. Mr..
Virgins is keeping in constant
touch with the progress Of the
campaign throughout the state and
is pleased with the work that is
being done and the results that are
being obtained in the sign-up work.
He commends the work that is
being done by the organization
leaders and the county agents, and
the interest the farmers are show
ing in the movement. That the
campaign viii be a success, and the
maximum number of bales signed
with the Association is his belief.
st is not simply question of get
ting cotton contracts to the farm
ers to give them an opportunity OF
signing them"

Our Editorial
of Thanksgiving
PSALM 1O7.

o, give thanks unto the Lord, FOL
He is good; for His mercy en-
dureth forever.
Let the redeemed of the Lord say
so, whom He hath redeemed from
the hand of the enemy.
And gathered them out OF the
lands, from the east, and from the
west, from the north, and from the
south.
They wandered in the wilderness
in a solitary way; they, found nc
city to dwell in.
Hungry and thirsty, their soul
tainted in them.
Then they cried unto the Lord
in their trouble, and He delivered
them out of their distresses.
And He led them forth by right
way, that they might go to a city
of habitation.
He turneth the wilderness into a
standing water, and dry ground into
water-springs.
And there He maketh the hungry
to dwell, that they may prepare g

Pat HARRISON.

Senator Oscar Underwood, who is
to retire as Democratic minority lead
er of the Senate next March, says
he will give his support to Senator
Pat Harrison for that place.
This practically assures the cleo
ton of the brilliant young Mississ-
ippian to the highest honor within
the gift of the Democratic party at
this time.
1t also means that Senator Harri-
son will be at the helm in planning
the fight in the next Presidential
campaign; that he will, to a large
extent, form the party issues of the
contest.
Time after time, the verdict of the
people of Mississippi rendered at the
polls in 1918 has been abundantly
vindicated, and this new honor and
responsibility about to be given to
Senator Harrison gives fresh reason
why our people shoul debetaoin pa
why our people should be proud OF
the aggressive young statesman who
put Vardaman into eclipse.
The work of Harrison has been
constructive. He has had the wei
fare of his people and his party al
ways before him. He has labored
increasingly for the principles and
purposes of Democracy and not once
has he sounded note of insurgency,
or dissented from his party organiza-
ton.
The record of Harrison is in stri-
king contrast to that Of the man he
defeated. Almost from the moment
of his arrival in Washington Mr..
Vardaman was out of harmony with
his party, and stayed that way to
the bitter end.
When the people of Mississippi
elect a Democrat to the United Sta
ties Senate they have right to ex-
poet him to remain a Democrat; to
fight, tooth and nail, for the ,funda-
mental principles Of the party, and
that is what Senator Harrison has
been doing So well has he fought
that today he is recognized as the
most capable leader in the party,
and to his splendid work was largely
due the splendid Democratic victories
at the polls in the recent Congress
sional elections.
1t is worth while to have man
of this sort in the Senate-a man
who reflects honor and credit on his
constituency, a man whom the people
know they can trust, and a man
who proves his worth by his deeds.

Must Foot the Bill
The Dear People"

The State of Mississippi is ex-
actly like any individual employer
hired help, and it should not use
the taxpayers money to pay forty
or fifty thousand dollars, for four
or five thousand dollars worth Of
work. That is our view of the
Stokes Robertson matter. 1t is alb
surd to say as some are saying,
that if the revenue agents office is
placed on a salary basis, the state
would be loser. If Robertson won't
work faithfully in the public's in
terest for salary as great as the
governor receives then the people
of Mississippi should exercise their
right of discharging him, and en-
ploying one who will. All this mud
dying of the waters on account of
the recent court decisions is bunk,
pure and simple. The laborer is
said to be worthy of his hire, but
no durn one of a vast majority Of
the present officials is worth the
salary he is now being paid.-Moss

and many cotton growers OF the
state haev signed pledges to assist
in putting their counties over the
top in the campaign by getting
every cotton grower possible to
sign the cotton contracts.
Teams of these farmers are be-
ing organized for this intensive
drive when it is expected that more
cotton will be signed up for coop
erative marketing than during all
other weeks together. County "Pep''

SMALL BIRDS FALCONS PREY
Peregrine, Like the Pirate He 10,
Takes Toll From Weaker Crea-
lures of the Air.

1t was reported recently that in the
eyrie Of peregrine. vicious bird, the
rings Of % racing pigeons were found.
The peregrine falcon often kills birds
which are unfortunate enough to cross
its path. Peewits and other birds that
frequent the coast are relentlessly pur-
sued by this hawk, and another prey
is the golden plover. but this bird af-
fords the hawk good chase before 1t
is caught.
The peregrine catches its prey by
protruding its strong legs and talons
to their fullest extent when within a
few feet of the quarry. Then for a
moment its wings are almost closed,
and the next the prize is seized and
carried off. If, however, the object is
too heavy to be lifted from the ground
1t is forced along sometimes hundred
yards on the ground, and killed and
devoured on the spot. The nest Of the
peregrine is usually placed on the face
of some preclpitous cliff, resting on a
shelf of rock or tuft of vegetation, and
consists of a mass of sticks and coarse
stems OF grass and ferns.

"Blood Money"

blood Money" was the name APP
piled in the Middle ages and well into
the more modern period to the money
paid for bloodshed. 1t might be either
the compensation paid by manslayer
to the nearest relatives of the victim,
to secure himself and his kin frpm
vengeance, or the money paid as a
reward for bringing about the death
of another, directly or through evil
dence. 1t was once common among
the Scandinavian and Teutonic peo-
pies, who called this money payment
wergild. The price varied with the
nature of the crime and the rank of
the victim. Certain crimes, such as
the Staying of sleeping person, could
not be compensated by money pay
ment; such criminals were declared
outlaws and could be slain with i'm
punity. The term is now often applied
to the reward or bride paid for giving
up a criminal to justice.

original Playing Cards.

The original pack of cards was a
culver of arrows. Playing cards are
regarded as derived from the divina-
tory use Of the arrow away back In
the cradle of civilnation-China or
India. says Stewart Culin, the archae-
Ologist. The ancients played games
with marked arrows, and the
Museum Of Archaeology, University OF
Pennsylvania. has several specimens
of these primitive playing cards.
Ancient Chinese and Corean cards
are long and narrow. and by their
design and name show Enthusiastically
that they are conventionalized shaft
ments of arrows, retaining In their
suit marks the same symbolism as that
Of the culver of arrows from which they
were derived. The old Corean and

CONSTITUTION GETS BLACK EYE

The senate gave the constitution of
the United States another black eye
when 1t voted to confirm Senator
Smoot (Newberry, Rep, Utah, and
Representative Burton (Rep., Ohio,
as members of the foreign debt re-
funding commission after the judici-
airy committee of the senate had re-
ported that the appointments we're in
conflict with the constitution. No one
questions the fitness of either APP
pointee. The whole question hinges
on section of the constitution
which prohibits senator or repre-
sentative from holding any civil Of
| flee under the United States which
shall have been created or the emol-
uments whereof shall have been in
creased during the time for which he
is elected.
Those who voted to confirm con-
tended that membership in the debt
refunding commission is not an Office
within the meaning of the constitu-
ton, but Senator Walsh (Dem., Mon
tana), one of the greatest constitu-
tional authorities of modern times,
pointed out that the mere necessity
for their confirmation by the senate
would make them officers of the I'm
tied States.
1t would be amusing if it were not
such a serious attack upon the frame
of our government to see political
senators like Bursum, Hale, McCor-
mick, Moses, New, Newberry, Woods
worth, Watson and others voting to
override the judiciary committee of
the senate on a constitutional mat
ter.
The serious side of such incidents
is that when the senate of the Unit
ed States overrides the constitution
of the United States in order to carry
out the wishes of the administration,
and when the president of the United
States overrides the civil service law
in response to partisan demands for
the spoils of office, they encourage a
resistance to and contempt for law
on the part of others. At time when
