WHY COFFEE SHORT NOW;

WASHINGTON = We're getting down to one daily cup of coffee be- cause coffee beans, light and bulky, take up too much space for their weight in shipping.
 The average cargo vessel can carry only about 70,C00 bags of cof- fee, l32 pounds to the bag. The rest of the cargo must be in heavier goods for ballast. Our imports of coffee from Central and South Am erica from July, 1941, to July. 1s42. required about 2,000 cargo trips of freighters, according to the Office of War Information = and we haven't got all the freighters we had a year ago.

Investigate Crop Insurance

The following editorial appearing in the
North Mississippi Herald at Water Valley
applies equally to farmers of Holmes county
and should be of interest to them:
Every farmer in this country should care
fully investigate the possibilities of cotton
crop insurance this year.
Above all, do not be misled by what some
body tells you about this important farm
program, one of the most far-reaching that
has ever been enacted.
Before a farmer makes up his mind about
insuring his crop, he should first obtain all
the facts from his county agent, not from
somebody on the street corner who knows
only what he hears.
This is one case wherein the circumstances
are different in each case. A farmers indi-
vidual production record will determine
what insurance he will pay. And nobody
can tell you what your own record is but
the county agent.
There will so some, of course, who will
honestly believe that it will be prudent for
them not to carry crop insurance. There may
be cases where such a course will be justified.
But the risk is the same as with the man who
decides that he should carry no insurance OH
his home. He may never have a fire, and he
will thus profit by saving the insurance prem
ium. But if he is a small operator who cannot
afford the risk of losing all, then he had bet
ter think twice before attempting to assume
all the risks on his property.
Cotton crop insurance is a fine thing. The
theory behind it is not new. 1t has already
been tried out on wheat and was most sue
cessful, so much so in fact that more and
more wheat farmers are turning to crop in
surance this year.
This section can i'll afford another crop
failure, after three successive failures.
The way to be sure is to insure.

High School Franks

1t comes to light now that three Jackson
high school pranksters are responsible for
the telephone CALI from Wendell Willkie
to a member of the Mississippi State legisla-
ture accepting an invitation to speak before
that body before it adjourned.
Also the telephone call from Gen. U. S.
Grant, III, to Mayor Scott of Jackson at two
o'clock in the morning asking arrangements
to be made to entertain Secretary of War
Stimson in Jackson was a hoax.
1t has been suggested that everybody in
Jackson is laughing but the Mayor and the
legislature.
It would be interesting to ascertain the
reasons for the childish prank that has caus-
ed so much laughter. Perhaps the children
were a bit bored to say nothing of "fed
UP" with the present session. The time has
long since gone for adjournment.
It has also been suggested that had the
children been amind to they could have quite
likely disguised themselves as Wendell
Willkie and made a speech and nobody
in the state legislature would have ever
nov the difference.

so Years OF Service

This week Walter Scott Meriwether, be-
loved veteran editor of The Mississippi Sun
at Charleston, celebrates the completion Of
fifty years of newspaper work. 1t was fifty
years ago March 4th that a 3O-year old
man quit the u. S. Navy to join the staff
of the New York Times, moving four years
later to the New York Herald published by
James Gordon Bennett. After spending
twelve years with the Herald he went back
to the Times as assistant Sunday editor. At
ter three years in that post and eight years
with the New York World and serving as
World War director of publicity for the u.
S. Shipping Board he came home to his old
ZONE town to edit his own weekly news
paper. The dream of most newspaper men
on big daily papers, we are told, is to get
enough money to buy a paper and settle
down to editing a country weekly. That we
can easily believe. We have never talked to
a big newspaper man that didn't want to
do just that.
Our congratulations and love to Skipper"
Meriwether on this important milestone in
his life. Week after week for nearly twenty
FIVE years he has given to his small COM
munity of Charleston a paper that is easy to
read and worth reading. In it has been re-
corded the births and marriages and deaths
of the people of that community; in it has
been mirrored year after year the march OF
progress Of that community and it's people;
it has been informative, educational and in
spirational to its readers. Many hearts have
been gladdened and comforted by words
49, ste slipper. He has filled an
i'm ant niche in the life of the community.
Sch is the mission of the country weekly
n Il bothers about the news of
tht e.Shbors that would not rate a line from
tho ate daily press. It records the i'm
porI%ut happenings Of family life that in its
tot: makes up America. II tries to exact
loyaity from its readers 10 every local
wo while activity to trading at home.
1t alone cares whether Podunk prospers OF
not.
AS long as we have editors who can even
approach the stature of Skipper Meriwether
we shall not fear for the future of the
te8ats~ Weeflr.
