The Six-Day Week

ST. LOUIS, (FP).-Commepting on
the general agitation in labor ranks
for the 5-day week, members of the
Order Of Railroad Telegraphers are
making themselves heard in pleas for
abolishing the 7-day week in their oc-
cupation j. A. Bachman writes in
the February issue of the Unions
Magazine:
II do not expect to see the day when
will be working 6 days week as
my time is nearly over, having put in
90 years of 7-day weeks and the great
cr portion of the days were Of 10 to
~ hours duration, too. So cannot
be accused Of advocating this reform
from purely personal and selfish
standpoint.
A total Of 479 new members en-
rolled with the union during the month
Of January.

Comrades and
Fellow Workers:

After a years heroic struggle of
the Passaic textile workers, the mill
barons were forced to submit to a
union in the textile industry of Pas
sale. They are however putting OBJ
stacles in the way Of maintaining
such an organization. Although the
strike is almost over, they are taking
the workers back very slowly, with
the result that thousands Of families
are without means of existence. Their
children are hungry.
There are many families whose sole
supporters We're sent to Jail for long
periods because Of their activities in
the strike. You must come to their
rescue. Relief must go on with full
speed
The General Relief Committee, who
is maintaining a few food stores in
Passaic, appeals to all those whc'have
taken milk coupons to send in their
money as soon as possible, no matter
how much you have collected. Send
the money Immediately to the Cen
eral Relief Committee, 1893 Broadway.

CURRENT EVENTS

barons are feeding to the tillers of
the soil in the United States.
THERE will not be a strike in the
i bituminous coal industry this
year by decree of John L. Lewis. This
means that John has handed the
operators a blank check and gave
them permission to write their own
figures. He has surrendered the
miners demands in advance. The
man whose fat salary was increased
to S12,00e at the recent convention
is not ready to even make a bluff
at fighting the operators. This is
the type of labor leader who is al
ways blowing off his bazoo against
the Communists. Is it any wonder?
n REAT BRITAIN'S financial stu
" alton is now showing the effects
of the coal strike. BY clever finan-
cial juggling the strain was hidden
during the struggle, but the truth
could not be smothered forever. So
far this year the bank of England
has lost approximately $6,230,00O Of
gold and is unable to check the outgo.
Foreign loans in the London market
are being discouraged even tho the
Old Lady of Threadneedle Street
hates to see her Wall Street COMPETE
tor fall heir to the rejected pickings.
British coal owners hope for a
strike in the bituminous fields in the
United States, in the expectation that
they may recoup their losses of last
year. Should a strike take place
despite the DEGREES of John l.. Lewis
we may witness the disgraceful spec
tacle of British-mined coal being
shipped to the American market to
break a strike of American miners
as American-mined coal was last
year shipped to break the British
strike. 1t is vicious circle,
A writer in the New York Tribune
IA commenting on international
events observes that "even some
members of the labor party now see
the reason for sending British troops
to Shanghai" This is stale news.
Some of them see a good reason why
troops should be sent anywhere the
interests of the empire are leopard
lied. Ramsey Macdonald sent war
ships to make a demonstration
against Canton when he was premier
and airplanes to rain bombs on
Mesopotamia. The right wing labor
leaders are imperialistic. Their in
terests are identical with the ruling
classes. Why should they not sup
port the empire?
A French gentleman with the ra-

Joseph Dugue de la Fauconnerie, in

The company is installing a receiving set in the reception room so that those waiting may enjoy the pro- gram twihout being present in the studio while other artists are broad casting. The company has also in- stalled an auxiliary studio in the Nell son hotel which is used for broadcast ing programs that do not require the use of the main studio.
 Radio reception from the Ketchikan station has been unusually good re- gently, and K G B U has during the past few weeks received reports of good reception of it's programs from all over Alaska, Canada and the States one such report cooming from as far away as Meriden, Conn.

Mrs. Hill Writes in
Defense of the Hen

The farm poultry flock must not be
overlooked, in all the agitation for the
modern and diversified type of farming
now under way in Holmes county. Of
course there is no point Of conflict;
there is room for the cows and still
more room for the hens, and both are
profitable and highly desirable.
In an interesting article contrasting
the probable profits from each. is the
following, written by Mrs. D. N. Hill,
Of Lexington, proprietor Of the Holmes
County Hatchery:
Which pays the best-the cow or the
hen?
good dairy COW weighing one thous-
and pounds ought to return her owner
profit of fifty dollars year at least.
Many dairy cows will return their
owner larger profit than this, but
many, many more return lesser pro-
fit.
Three hundred Leghorn hens will
weigh around / 900 pounds. These three
hundred hens, if given only ordinary
care and treatment, ought to lay ten
dozen eggs each in a years time. As
suming that each hen will consume food
of value of one dollar, and few
farm flocks eat that much, it can be seen
that each Leghorn hen will. make a net
profit of one dollar. Again assuming
that eggs are worth an average Of
average Of twenty-five cents q dozen.l
the thousand pounds Of Leghorn hens
will net a profit Of $3.50 as against $50
from the thousand pound COW.
Dairy cows, after time. reach an
age when it is no longer profitable to
keep them and SO do hens. Both must
be sold to the butcher. The one thous-
and pound COW, when sold for beef,
will bring, say, three cents per pound,
or $500; the one thousand pounds OF
hens will, at the low figure of ten cents
a pound bring over $100-now which
pays BEST?

Strowd to Operate
Gin at Pickens for
Coming Season

A new gin will be in full operation in
Pickens by the beginning of another cot
ton season, work having already started
on the new enterprise by the owner,
George R. Strowd
The most modern gin equipment avail
able is being installed, the plant being
new 4-80 stand Lummis gin. 1t will
be powered by an sO-horsepower Fair
banks semi-Diesel oil burning engine,
which permits operation at moments
notice and obviates danger of fire. The
main gin building will be 70x22, the
seed building will be 1sx70. and plenty
of sheds will be available to take care
Of the waiting patrons in case of rain.
All buildings will be galvanized iron
construction. A special feature will be
the big scales, 8x22 feet, being long
enough to weigh the biggest wagon or
truck with trailer.
Pickens at present is served by only
one gin, which was forced during the
season now drawing to a close, to work
night and day. In addition, it is thought
that the local ginnings would have been
possibly third more than was had, if
ginning facilities had been sufficient to
care for the patrons without delay. The
new enterprise will be located a short
distance from the railroad in Pickens,
on Madison and Third streets.
An addition to the ginning enterprise
to be conducted by Mr.. Strowd is the
cold storage ice plant. This building
is now being erected, and will be pre-
pared to serve Pickens with ice at the
of the warm season in the
coming year.

Holmes Baptists are
Preparing to Enter in
Cooperative Program

In response to a call from DR.. H. L
Martin, appointed by the state authori-
ties as organizer for Holmes county, q
meeting was held at the Baptist church
Tuesday morning, with Representatives
OF fifteen churches present, to plan
the raising Of the county's share in the
Cooperative Program Of the Baptists OF
the South.
DR.. J. S. Riser, Of Durant, was elected
chairman of the meeting and Rev. L
F. Metts, Of Goodman, secretary, and
after thorough discussion of the en-
tire matter it was voted unanimously to
accept as this county quota the amount
asked by the Convention Board; this
amount is $S,454.29, an increase of one
third over the amount reported for ben
evidences last year.
This county quota was apportioned
among the several churches; the
amounts agreed upon being recommend
ed to the churches, subject of course to
their approval, and the county was di-
vided into the following districts, with
a superintendent for each district who
will aid the churches in organizing and
putting on the campaign.
District Rev I. F. Nets, superin-
tendent; West, Mt Vernon, Mt. Pleas
ant, County Line.
District 2-Mr. J. E. Sweany, superin-
tendent; Durant, Saron, Goodman, Cen
tral, Pickens.
District 3-Rev, L. A. Doyle, superin-
tendent; Antioch, Beulah, Ebenzer, Har-
lands Greek.
District 4-Mr. W. B. Kenna, superin-
tendent; Lexington, Pleasant Ridge
Bowling Green.
District 5-Rev. J. R. G. Hewlett, sup
erintendent; Tchula, Cruger.
The following took part in the meet
ing: Rev. Ira F. Metts, Goodman; Rev.
j. B. Perry and Mr.. ]. J. Tucker, Pick
ens Rev. L. F. Haire, West; Rev. E. G.
Evans, Ebenezer; Mr.. A. G. Kelly, Tchu-
la; Rev. L. A. Doyle, Benton; Rev. F.
A. Lummus and Mr.. w. D. Kimbrough,
Carrollton; DR.. J. S. Riser, Durant;
DR.. H. L. Martin, DR.. J. T. Phillips and
Mr.. W. B. Kenna, Lexington.
1t is expected that an every member
canvass will be put on in every church
at the earlies possible time, and while
the county's quota is considerably
larger than has been given heretofore,
it is believed by the pastors that if
every member in every church will do
his best the amount asked can undoubt-
edly be raised.

IS Satisfied" says w. G.
Rodgers, of Market
Available for Milk

One satisfied patron Of the KRAFT
cheese plant at Durant ID W. c. 1odg-
eYs, responsible farmer living at Owens,
about midway between Durant and Lex
ington.
Mr.. Rodgers has been in the milk A.s-
iness for many years, having sold cream
to the West Creamery, which was the
second creamery to be established in
Mississippi. In later years he sold
cream to the Durant Creamery and to
the Lexington Creamery; and at the
opening Of the Kraft cheese plant in
Durant, he started on opening day to
furnishing whole milk.
Mr.. Rodgers is now milking fourteen
cows, two Of which are strippers, and
two more have been in milk without
stop for more than year. His checks
for whole milk was $131.50 for the past
thirty days. Of this, he pays negro
$40 per month for milking, and figures,
the feed cost at about $4,000 per month,
leaving, on this basis, very nice net
profit.
AS a matter ~ actual fact, Mr.. Rodg-
ers is a practical farmer and does not
spend his profit in feed. During the
past thirty days no feed at all has been
fed in the stalls, and none will be fed
until Christmas of thereabouts. Soy
beans and peas are planted in all the
corn; the corn is harvested, and the
cattle CLEAN the bean crop. Not all the
beans are so consumed, as considerable
was cut for hay, and fifty bushels or
more was gathered for seed. Mr.. Rodg-
ers expects to increase his herd to 20
or more cows by spring by the fresh
ening of stock now on hand.
Asked If ho uoc ca%icf;oJ L.
look of the dairy business and with the
present markets, Mr.. Rodgers, who is
getting along in years, replied: "Well,
ought to be; my wife and have work.
ed hard for a living all our lives, and
now we can sit down and take things
easy and the dairy cows make a good
living for u.s."
