COTTON FARMERS

Every farmer in Holmes coun-
ty is interested in receiving a
fair price for cotton. II Is not

price of cotton, nor the Secre-
tary of Agriculture, nor the

Thus, IL 10 to the farmers inter

urday, Dec. l3 and vote in the
cotton marketing referendum.
Why have prices of cotton
been higher this season? There
are three main reasons. First, in
creased domestic consumption of
cotton; Second. cotton market
ing quotas which guarantee that
every cotton grower will be al
lowed to market his share of the
years crop and third, the IS
percent of parity loan which
allows cotton farmers to bor-
row approximately Is cents per

The die is cast.

The die is cast.
America is at war.
War has been declared on us by
Japan and our Congress has reco-
gnized a state of war existing be-
tween America and Japan.
Whether we believed in or sub
scribed 70 the policies that lead to
being drawn into the conflict is
Deside the point now. Whether the
attack Japan made upon our pos
sessions was provoked or u%nprovok-
ed, Justified or unjustified, the fact
remains that she did attack us.
Our American congrNs had no al
tentative but to recognize that a
state Of war exists. Japan had al
ready declared war.
Those persons in the past who
have said that aid to England would
not involve US with Japan because
she was afraid of us have perhaps
done a little more thinking on the
subject in the past few days. Whe-
Their Japan would have attacked
America had it not been for Ger
many pushing her we can never
know. Whether America could have
stayed out of the conflict with Jap
an had she not aided England can
be only a guess.
The fact that Germany did push
japan into the wal by attacking the
United States is proof hat American
aid to the British and to the Rus
SLAMS is having great effect. We can
be certain that Germany will aid
The Japanese in every way possible
against us in order to divert as much
as possible aid from England.
Those persons who before have
spoken lightly Of the might of the
japanese Navy are today weighing
their words before speaking. The
devastating blow struck at American
outposts in the Pacific was brilliant
~ conceived and daringly executed.
The stark reality Of that attack, com-
ing suddenly and without warning,
has made the American people wake
up to the fact that now real danger
looms before us. We are today truly
fighting for our very lives.
The attack planned by Germany
and Japan upon the United States
in such a manner has done one great
thing it has unified US as we
have never been united before. When
real danger c~onfronts u country
our Congress acts in . n to
preserve and defend ~.
Every man, woman, and child In
America will bend every energy to-
ward final victory. America does
not do things by halves. We do. not
debate what is our part and let it
go at that. We go all the way.
Let us earnestly pray that all the
way is enough to defeat the nations
arrayed against US.

10 Get R. R. Degrees

A brand-new educational degree
that of Bachelor of R~ailroading =
is forecast as the Illinois Central
Railroad begins distributing d.
plomas to some twelve hundred of
its former workers who are now en-
gagged in other occupations. Each GER
tificate is individually inscribed with
the name Of the recipient, who is
thereby made a member of the Hi
nois Central Alumni Association.
J. L. Bowen, president of the COM
pany, signs the certificates in re-
cognition of the constructive efforts
put forth by the recipients while they
were still "going to school" at the
Illinois Central.
The requirement for membership
in the Illinois Central Alumni is for
mer employment with the company.
While the initial roster includes more
than twelve hundred members, it is
realized that many others who are
entitled to membership will be dis
covered as the association becomes
better known. The present roster
has been built up from company re-
cords and the recollections of pre-
sent members of the railway staff.
Certificates OF membership in the
Illinois Central Alumni Associa-
ion will soon be adjoining the office
walls of many business and profes-
sional men who are proud of the
fact they once were working on the
railroad. According to Mr.. Beven'
there are Illinois Central alumni in
nearly all walks of life, and they are
to be found in all of the
United States las well as in foreign
countries.
