No Wonder They Fight
We quote the Winona Times:

We quote the Winona Times:
Someone has figured ou. the wealth that Is democracies
claim they have:
39999999 free people.
98 per cent of the worlds god.
Two thirds of the worlds wealth.
Two thirds of all w materials.
Two thirds of worlds warships.
Three iouIths of worlds trade.
If the above is true it is very clear why the dctators want
to wipe out the Democraces. If the Democracies have the
wealth accredited them they will be a factor in the old world
a long. long time.
The Democracies will stand one for all and all for one"
Regardless of whe her the dictators select war o peace
the Democracies will give them a wonderful entertainment
We add:
And if we were German we'd probably want to
fight too, feeling that we wanted our own country to
have the balance of power rather than England, who has
welded it a long, long time.
Also, if we were German we'd probably feel very
sorry tor ourselves because, across the Atlantic, lies
a nation called America who can be depended upon to
aid England in her fight to preserve her place in the
sun.

All Motorists Please Reed

The Columbus Commercial Dispatch makes an elo-
quent plea to drivers who travel the highways at night.
In view of the almost unheard of increase in auto
mobile accidents in this state in the past few weeks every
driver should do anything to help lessen the dreadful
toll.
The Commercial Dispatch says, in regard to night
driving:
THE hazards of driving at night are unlimited and
the average motorEt ask only the common decency OF
courtesy.
When a passing motorst dims his lights he is only
signaling you to return him the same courtesy.
If you fail to respond then you have not been fair.
He may not be as young as you are. His eyes may
not be as well focused as yours are.
He is seeking protection.
He is asking for a kindness.
When you fail to respond you are denying all of
these road courtesies.
You have failed to be a good sportsman.
You have failed to be a good driver.
Your failure might mean death to other people.
So-won't you dim your lights, please, when you
get the signal from your fellow-motorist.
1t may save a lot of grief.

Crippled ChiIdren's Clinic

Crippled chiIdren's Clinic
Do you know a crippled child up to the age of
Fl years?
If you do you might be conveying to him a great
favor if you will see to it that he comes to the Grip
pied children's clinic to be held Friday afternoon, No
vember II, at the Health Department office in Lexing-
ton.
DR.. L. H. Eubanks, health officer, is urging every
person knowing a crippled child to cooperate in bringing
as many as possible. A certain amount on money Is
made available to those needing aid. This applies only
to children in Holmes county, of course.
The work among the crippled children of the county
is as worthwhile as any charitable work could be and
it deserves the full cooperation of every citizen.
Highway II Improved
During this week a crew has been working on
Highway IL, from Durant to Lexington. Much gravel
has been added to the road and a lot of improvement
accomplished.
We are glad and grateful for these improvements
on q highway which has, for the past three months, been
absolutely dangerous to travel. Numerous cars have
been caught in the loose gravel and nearly turned over.
Accidents have occurred and people severely shaken
up.
It seems on the surface that it would perhaps be
cheaper in the long run to ~blacktop this road rather
them maintain it as a gravel road.
Many communities in the state during the past eight
years have learned that blacktopping their streets costs
only a little more than maintaining them with gravel.
The difference in riding on thu ~blacktop and gravel is
unmistakable.
Of course we'd all like to have a straight concrete
welcome.

BALTIMORE, Jan, 10.-A boat
load OF German Jew refugees pre-
pared to sail for, South America
and new homes today after a night
IN the United States gleefully spent
at the movies and in restaurants.
Since early November" COM
mented one, Jews have not been
allowed in moving picture theaters,
cafes or restaurants in Germany"
Practically all Of the 143 exiles,
who carefully avoided giving any
OF their names to questioners, were
granted landing passes after the
Chilean steamer Imperial docked
for one-night stay.
Permitted to leave Germany, but
with few possessions, they are on
their way to Peru, Chile, Bolivia
and Columbia, countries they said
had granted them entrance provid-
ing they had some funds.
The liner was scheduled to sail
this afternoon for New York, from
where it will continue to South
America.
Many of the exiles could speak
English, and most of their remarks
they confined to pleas for aid to
their countrymen still in Germany
Successful Jews in all parts of
the world must raise funds to help
these unfortunates out of a country
where they are not wanted said
one.
You would hardly believe how
much the Jews in Germany are
counting on America to help them.
Politely but firmly they refused
to tell strangers their names. And
one explained:
Many of us have relatives in
Germany still. If we tell too much
here, word goes back to Germany
The one-night visitors expressed
united amazement at the number
of automobiles parked on the pier.
There are so many of them,
explained one, "and such great
big fine ones"
