Circles No. 2 and 3 Enjoy
A Delightful Picnic

Monday afternoon Circles No. 2
and Of the local Methodist Church
met at the Holmes County Park and
enjoyed a most wonderful picnic.
The eats were fine but the fellow
ship was better. More than forty
women from the two circles, in
Guiding a few invited guests, and a
number of children, enjoyed the oc.
casion together. The circles are
completing the quarters work and
are in good shape so far as finances
go. They are building up q most
wonderful spirit of good fellowship
in the society. They feel that every
woman in the community, who wor-
ships at the Methodist chu1ch or
ought to do so, is entitled to the
benefits and privileges Of the wo-
mans Society of Christian Service.
Again they appeal to those not

Pastures Need Clipping

If he pasture has not been clipped,
now is the time to do this job.
know of no farm implement when
properly used is worth more to a pas
ture than moving machine. The
weeds compete with your grasses
and clover for plant food and mois-
ture. and thereby reduce the capaci-
'ty of the pasture.
The Triple A Program permits q
farmer to earn so cents per acre by
clipping his pasture twice per year.
Grasses permitted to grow higher
than five inches become tough and
are not palatable to livestock. You
will note in walking over your pas
ture that livestock will only Craze
the short grass.
Experiment stations show that
grass not over four inches high has
twice the food value per volume
as the top four inches of grass eight
inches high.
An acre of good pasture is one of
the most valuable acres Oh the place
Where livestock is being raised. Many
times people make the mistake of
buying cattle before buying good
,asture. When this is done II is
easy to pick out the farmer who is
losing money with his livestock pro-

LETTERS TO EDITOR

Durant, Mississippi,
June 81, 1941.

June -, Ao1As
Dear Editor:
Our Prohibition Laws Are Sufficient
But Not Enforced
During my recent term Of office as
Justice of the Peace, l came into
contact almost daily with the liquor
problems which so many good peo-
pie are complaining about the law be-
ing ineffective and not sufficiently
stringent to stop the whiskey traf-
fic. l am sure it will be a surprise
20 a lot of our citizens to learn
.hat of all the States in the union
Mississippi has the most stringent
avs agains. the illegal whiskey traf-
fie. Any person who is interested in
This subject can see the Mississippi
Code Of 1880, Section 1874, which
provides:
For the conviction for violating
he liquo. laws the sentence of the
court cannot be less than $4,000;
For the second offense for violat-
ing this law the law requires and 1t
is the bounden duty of the court to
assess fine of not less than $4,000
and Jail sentence of 60 days, both
the fine and Jail sentence are posi-
lively required by the law.
For the third offense the law re-
quires the prisoner to be sentenced
to not less than one year in the pen
itentiary.
In my opinion any officer who
tries bootlegger who has been con-
victed before and refuses or fails
to assess the penalty as required by
law is liable to be and should be
prosecuted for ignoring the laws de-
signs,: 20 eliminate the "pay-off"
boot,s .ers who pay $4,000 fine
every ~ often and consider it a sort
cease fee.
y IS the of the officers ev-
erywi .Lforce this law as it
IS N-i.i":. ana any officer failing to
do So. knowing that person has
been convicted before and not in
sisting upon the second apd third
offense penalties, is liable to i'm
parchment from office and suit upon
his official bond.
The law is sufficient and if en-
forced would certainly improve the
present situation.
Yours truly,
(Signed): J. B. WILLIAMS.

Army Officers To Be Needed

Paul Mallon, Washington columnist,
says the War Department is really going to
give the officers of our new army the once
over and those who are in the army for
social and political reasons and who are
incompetent will be weeded out.
Nothing could do more toward building
a well-rounded army with SPLENDID morale
than wedding out the incompetents among
the regular army officers, as well as the
former National Guards and reserve Of
ficers.
A lot of our war sentiment today is
engineered by ex-barbers and mail carriers,
politicians and plumbers, who today, as Of
ficers in the U. S. army, are draw
ing twice as much pay as they ever made
in civilian life No wonder they want to
stay in the army regardless of whether they
are capable or not.
With thousands of reserve officers on the
lists that have not yet been called there
is no reason why the U. S. army should
put up with anything but the best
Officers who can't deliver ought to be
dismissed and as soon as they have completed
their years training.

Claude Pepper "Senote's Worst"

Claude Pepper, Florida's senator whom
we designate No. 96 in value to the u. S.
Senate continues to make speeches on any
and all occasions when he thinks it possible
to incite the people of this country further
on the road to war.
In view of the fact that the entire coun-
try is now well aware of Mr.. Peppers un-
derhand activities on behalf of himself and
his personal friends it does seem that he
would have the decency to shut his mouth
and never open it again as long as he holds
public office.
During the House investigation of the
asphalt deal at Eglin field it was brought 10
light that Senator Pepper had been guilty
OF dealing the cards to his own personal
interest at the expense of the government
whom he is supposed to serve.
The fact is that Pepper is at best MOTH
ing more than an opportunist of the lowest
order and is so regarded by the majority
OF decent people in his home state of Florida.
That such man can crate on the Senate
floor and influence public opinion in the
United States is an indictment of the in
telligence of our people.
When our people have sunk so low thew
let men like Pepper influence them then. in
deed, 1t is time to question the wisdom of
democracy as q form of government.

Colonel George Hogoboom

Col George K. Hogaboom, retiring COM
manding officer of the 155th (Mississippi)
Infantry, whose home is at Vicksburg and
who in civilian life is chief of police there,
made this speech to officers of his regiment
stationed at Camp Banding:
Gentlemen, we're on the offensive
This is an aggressive regiment. When
advancing in the field of battle, we pay
no attention to the dead or wounded,
but leave them for the medicos or the
trash basket. Garry on. gentlemen, God
bless YOU"
OF all the dumb speeches we've ever
heard or read this one takes the cake. If
the uncharitable, inhumane sentiments ut
tered by Col Hogaboom in that speech is
indicative of his general character it is no
wonder that the army is retiring him irSthe
middle Of the present emergency" He
obviously should have been retired years
ago.
It must make the boys Of the l55th
infantry awfully anxious to go to war
knowing that if they get injured in battle
they will be picked up and put in trash
basket with the rest of the rubbish.

"BEHIND THE SCENES IN
AMERICAN BUSINESS"
By John Croddock

LULL--The three main trends current in the
business picture are: CD Department store
volume of goods moved is well on the way
to setting an all-time high for the first hall
of the year, while profits are holding up well
and dollar volume will be highest since 1929,
and with prospects bright for maintaining
the pace in latter half of year; CD Increas-
ing sentiment in various quarters for putting
some curbs on extension of credit in consumer
lines-which means Tightening up on in
stalment buying; and 81 Voluntary, as well
as negotiated" wage increases are being
made in many lines, not all of them de-
Tense goods industries, either.
Other items indicating there'll be no
midsummer lull this year include the Fed
eral Reserve Boards findings that general
industrial activity increased sharply during
Nav. sending its seasonally-adj usted index
to 149 (per cent of the 1859 average),
compared with lao in April and LAB in
March; the continuing terrific pace OF con-
structiOn awards, which last week hit the
third highest total ever reported; and re-
ports of big gains for railroads in both pas
senger and freight revenues.
VEGETABLE EXCURSION "Excur-
sion rates" for vegetable as well as people
would help bring Americans more vitamin-
rich food by encouraging farmers to market
more truck crops, says A. r. Sabin. l.. S.
Department of Agriculture statistician. Sabin
reports that, in 1910 alone, enough truck
crops went unmarketed because of low farm
prices to supply 100000 people for
month And on this same subject. it is
pointed out by William Fellowes Morgan,
Jr., New York City Commissioner of Markets.
that people will eat more vegetables whea
they are made available. Morgan cited the
