its headquarters in London-ac-

center for university women of many
countries.
Its reopening ceremonies brought
together 160 university women of IA
nationalities.

CONGRESS Votes Itself A Pension

the conflict raging around the so-called
civilized " orld will determine whether We
shall continue to have free people and

shall continue to have country.
The Senate and House of Representatives
chose this particular time to vote themselves
pensions. Under the terms of the Ramspeck-
Mead bill just passed member of the House

ment may retire voluntarily at the age of

Victory Book Drive

A nationwide drive to enlist books for de-
tense is being made at this time. Good read
ing matter for men of our armed forces is be-
ing solicited by local committees throughout
the United States.
Mrs. Louis Longinotti is chairman of the
Durant committee which wants all the good
books you can spare from your library. AS
long as the content of the book is good that
is all that matters Books which need mend
ing, or backs put on, will be repaired and
used.
Works of fiction and non-fiction, biOgra-
phies, short stories, essays, school books,
mystery novels, historical novels, are all es-
pecially needed.
In some, perhaps many, camps throughout
the nation men are constantly on the alert
ready for action when the order is given
Their days are kept busy but recreation in an
army camp at night is practically MD es-
pecially when that camp is far from city
and men are not permitted out except on
short passes.
The least we can do as good Americans
is to answer the call for needed books to
form libraries for wholesome recreation for
our soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen.
Pass along book you have enjoyed in
the Victory" drive and let hundreds of
others enjoy the same pleasure as yourself.
Leave your offering at this newspaper Of
flee or most any business house uptown. Or
call Mrs Longinotti who will see that the
book is picked up. Do this today. Tomorrow
you might forget.

County Milk Grades
Are Announced

At least every six months the
diaries and milk are graded accord
ing to the United States Public
Health Service Milk Ordinance and
Code. Those diaries producing a
satisfactory milk as specified by this
ordinance and determined by the To-
cal health department were graded
and grades announced.
It is well worth while for any
consumer using milk to insist on
Grade A milk as indicated by the
bottle cap as many diseases can be
spread through milk, Dysentery, Dip
htheria, Sore Throat, tuberculosis,
and Undulant Fever.
The following dairies, producers,
and grades are announced:
Russell's Dairy, Lexington. Grade
A Raw to Plant.
Jones' Dairy, Lexington, Grade A
Raw to Plant.
Providence Dairy, Cruger, Grade
A Raw to Plant.
Stems Dairy, Grade A Raw to
Plant.
HUMPHREYS Dairy, Durant, Grade
A Raw to Plant.
Holmes County Cooperative Gre
amery, Cruger, Grade A Pasteuriz-
ed.
Humphries Stock Farm, Durant,
Grade A Pasteurized.
Certified-pasteurized and Grade
A pasteurized milk are the safest
grades Of milk. Certified raw and
Grade A raw milk are as safe az
raw milk can be made short Of pas
teurization.
According to law all places as
restaurants, hotels, and drug stores
where milk is served to the customers
the milk should be served in the or
iginal container. Restaurants, hotels,
and drug stores, as well as grocery
stores, are required to have a placard
indicating the producers and the
lowest grade of milk offered to the
public. It is to your advantage as a
consumer to insist that the above
condition be met.

WASHINGTON National income
and industrial production, true to
expectations, hit all-time peaks for
1941. Income was $4,000, $1,000, 900
about 16 billions higher than in
1910 and nearly nine billions ahead
of that year to which financial highs
always are compared, 1929. As a
guard against over-enthusiasm at
these statistics it may be mentioned
that about one-third of the gain
over 1910 was absorbed by higher
prices, and that approximately 10
of those 90 billions went for NUM-
lions and things you can't eat or
wear, etc. The production in
dex moved up from 139 to 1853
meaning our industries produced one
and two-thirds times as much rs in
the average year 1869. This 29-
point gain was one Of the largest
ever recorded and, Of course, the
final 1853 represents the highest rate
of industrial production in American
history.

Irish Potato Planting
Time Soon To Be Here
Says County Agent

Irish potato planting time will
soon be at hand ard growers should
make arrangements for seed supply
rs early as possible. The supply of
certified seed is larger this year
than last, according to |. w. Car
son, County Agent, but commercial
growers particularly should place
their orders early to insure an ade-
quate local supply.
The Triumph is the standard and
most widely grown variety for ship
ment to northern markets, Mr.. Car
son says, but the newer Chippewa
and Red Warba varieties are gain
ing in popularity, especially when
grown for sale on local markets and
for home use.
The Katahdin, an excellent quality
white potato, produces as well or
better than the Triumph and is re-
commended especially for it's keep
ing qualities. In recent experimental
tests and grower demonstrations, this
variety has shown less loss in stro-
age IMAM tIc oIieI VoiiSsiSS' "A Hum-
Der of growers plant at least part
of their acreage to this variety and
sell the potatoes on local markets
during the summer after the main
spring crop is marketed.
The Chippewa is similar in quail
ty, color and yield to Katahdin,
though not as well adapted for stor-
ing. The Red Warba has outyielded
the other varieties in most sections
Of this state, particularly in the del
a. This variety has rather deep
eyes and for this reason there is
nore waste from the standpoint Of
he consumer Plant only certified
seed and treat seed to control scab
and other diseases.

January 81 is the birthday of the Presi-

to fight infantie paralysis wherever it is
found in this country. One-half of all money
collected goes in the Holmes county chapter
to aid victims of this disease and crippled
children in this county.
With nine cases Holmes county last year
was second in the state in the number Of
infantile paralysis cases. Only Yazoo had a
greater number So see your local chairman
and give your contribution or drop it in the
boxes found in the cafes, drug stores, and
other business establishments in Durant.
The public is called upon frequently to
contribute to the various charities When we
are in good health and able to work we
should be thankful enough for our blessings
to gladly contribute to those less fortunate
than ourselves We should deem it a priv
lege.
