DeIto Council To Meet

The annual meeting of the Delta Council, formerly
the Delta Chamber of Commerce will be held on Wed
nesday, June Is, at Delta State Teachers College at
Cleveland for the purpose of launching a southwide
campaign to expand foreign markets for cotton through
favorable reciprocal trade agreements.
The purpose of this meeting is of utmost impor-
lance to the south. Our entire economic structure
is based on agriculture and cotton is our major crop.
The present trend Of less consumption and poor prices
bids fair to undermine our economic well being.
If the newly organized Delta Council can do some
thing to remedy this condition by helping secure recip-
rocal agreements that will aid in disposng of our cotton
then it will be the blessing of every one of us.
DR.. Francis B. Sayre, assistant secretary Of state
and right hand man to Secretary Hull will address the
Councils members and their friends on the outlook for
cotton and other southern agricultural commodities in
foreign trade at the meeting.
Oscar Johnston chairman of the Delta Councils
foreign trade section Of the agriculture committee, will
introduce DR.. Sayre and the other guests present at the
occasion. The formal introduction of dignitaries will
follow the speakers address.
Among those who have been invited to attend
the annual meeting and hear DR.. Sayre's address are:

Value Of A Newspaper

The following story related by a West Virginia
weekly editor is very old but it never fails to amuse US,
possibly because it is so true. The Virginia editor re-
ceived and printed in his paper the following letter:
please send me a few copies of your newspaper
containing the obituary of my aunt. Also publish the
enclosed clipping of the marriage Of my niece. And
l wish you would mention in your local column, if it
doesn't cost anything, that / have two bull calves for
sale, and our church is having an ice cream supper,
tickets Csc. AS my subscription is out, please stop
the paper, as times are too hard to waste money on a
newspaper.

Liquor Dealers Again

Three weeks ago we wrote an editorial about the
LIQUOR dealers in Holmes county. In it we said that
there were az places in Holmes county with Federai
licenses to distribute liquor and wines.
According to our record we listed seven places IN
the CITY limits of Tchula on the western section sde OF
our county among the AZ.
Mayor w. C. Perry Of Tchula checked upon the
places listed and found that only two of these places
were inside the city limits, the others being on the OUT
skirts. Mayor Perry said that he made an effort 10 Keep
up with what was going on in the city and that ne dion
believe these two places sold liquor.
Thus Tchula is cleared up. It has no places that
actually sell whiskey to the best OF our and Official
knowledre. We are glad to make this statement.
We can only say that we wish we could say the
same of the other communities in Holmes County.
Every County in Mississippi and practically every
town in Mississippi has wide open bootleg joints run
ming day and night. In a few of the towns where tney
are not allowedt to run wide open the places are operated
ON the outskirts of the city. Anyway the supply is al
ways there.
We repeat again as we have often said before: we
are not for whiskey nor against it. We want the peo-
ME Of Mississippi to open up their eyes to actual condi-
tions in this state, a supposedly dry state, and do some
thing about it.
Any condition that breaks down respect for law and
law endorsements is dangerous in its immediate e1Iects
and in the lasting impression it makes on the MINDS OF
our youth.
Time will not solve our problems. It's up to US.

About eleven years ago ! read an
editorial in an Alabama newspaper
that vas reprinted from the New
York Sun.
On that trip / had the pleasure Of
meeting the man who wrote that ed
~itorial, Harold Anderson, one Of the
best writer's on the entire Sun staff.
The editorial referred to was one
written about Charles A. Lindbergh
and his flight cro the Atlantic.
It is written in simple language that
a child could not mistake az most
good writing is. 1t is the kind of
thing one reads and is haunted by
for many years. it inspires ones
ambition.

deep capacity for feeling Harold An

 In point of it's magnitude of set ting, lavishness and the importance of cast which numbers thirty-two speaking roles together with hun dreds of extras. The role of the Polish countess is said to offer the dynamic Garbo her greatest acting opportunities.
 Players of distinction top the supporting cast OI conquest. Re- ginald Owen, who has scored in a long list of successes, plays the part of the scheming Talleyrand. Alan Marhal. recently seen as Myrna Loy'S husband in "Parnell," has the part of Captain D'Ornano. The vet eran character star, Henry Stephen son. plays the role of Garbo's aged husband, Count Walewska.

POLI'S

An entertaining comedy that will more than please all audiences opens today at the Loew Poi Theater, with presentation of the hit, Love Is Headache"
 The headaches implicated in this story prove hilarous amusement.
 Mainly the story concerns willful stage star whose appearances in a series of flop shows being down upon her the caustic wrath of a radio broadcasting columnist.
 An original screen play by Lou Heifitz and Herbert Klein serves as the basis of the film It will present the facorite of the stage and screen, Gladys George, famous for her DOT trayal in Valiant Is The Word For Carrie" and the more recent Ma dame X," and popular Franchot Tone, who previously played with Miss George in They Gave Him a Gun"
 There is a splendidly. enacted comedy role as press agent from the late Ted Healy, as well as con- mendable perform ances from Mickey Rooney and Virginia Weid- Ter as two orphan children. A bit of romantic rivalry involves Ralph Morgan. Other supporting players who add much to the cast are Barnett Parker, Fay Holden and Henry Kolker.
 Richard Thorpe, whose Might Must Fall" and Double Wedding stand as tributes to his versatility directed.

STATE

Two pictures that definitely be- long on your "must-see-list" are those that make up the splendid double feature program to be en- joyed today and tomorrow at War ner Brothers State theater.
 They are Thrill Of A Lifetime" with The Yacht Club Boys, Judy Cagova, Ben Blue, Eleanore Whit ney, Johnny Downs, Betty Grable, Dorothy LaMour, Larry Crabbe and the Fanchonettes, also Jack Holt with distinguished supporting cast in the story, read by more than a million readers, Under Suspicion :"
 Fridays new show presents an other brilliant double feature offer ing headlined by Carole Lombard and Fred MacMurray with John Barrymore in .Paramount's latest laugh fest, True Confession"
 It's the hilarious tale of girl who'd rather lie than eat and her straight~laced. truth-is the -only = policy husband.
 This unfortunate honesty of Mac Murray, playing the young husband, is the cause of his extreme poverty, which Miss Lombard, his wife, tries to cure by getting job. This, how ever, she has to do secretly, because MacMurray feels that it would hurt his prestige if his wife were known to be working.
 The first day on the job, Miss Lombard walks out on her amorous boss, and almost immediately after she learns that he has been mys- teriously murdered, and that she is under suspicion of having com mitted the murder.
 MacMurray agrees to defend his wife, but only on condition that she tell him the truth. She tries to eX- plain that she is innocent, but he doesn't believe this, and finally in desperation she "confesses' that she killed her boss in self-defenSe. As Miss Lombard says this, she realizes that the publicity her husband will receive will bring him before the public and will help his business.
 What transpires from this point makes the story more interesting than lecture by Ripley. Every time the plot gets serious -Carole gets a funny streak and the audience is of on another barrage of laughs. It's keen entertainment and John Bar rymore again turns in a splendid performance as the eccentric dere- lict.
 The companion feature will be Women in Prison" an interesting and completely absorbing drama that fills well chosen spot on this splendid program for the weekend. Two new corners, Wyn Cahoon and Scott Colton, will be seen in the leading role.
