WHITE CROSSES

There is a little white Cross;
That marks each fatal loss.
Row by row;
Every day they grow.
They lie in a garden spot;
Exposed to weather cold and hot.
They are planted on the Sea and the
land;
A tribute to some brave lads last stand.
Who gladly gave his life;
As a means to end this strife.
That we here at home, may stay free;
To travel the air land and Sea.
That we may wear no tyrants yoke;
That we may smell no battle smoke.
That BOMBS may not rain from our
skies;
That we may be spared our childrens
anguished cries;
And find their lifeless bodies torn and
scattered;
In the ruins of homes that have been
shattered.
DEAR GOD-how thankful we in the
U.S.A.
Should be on this Thanksgiving day.
Our every effort we should bend;
To help bring this war to an end.
By each sticking to his task,
And no special favors ask.
Vas sub.

ing In the history of war financing in
our county," the chairman said. The
sensible way to get an assigned task
accomplished, is to do it early. We
must all rally behind the campaign By
buying more and more E-Bonds from
now until December Z. By doing so,
"ell wind up the drive quickly and
chalk up another impressive record in
The states war bond program"
The b Victory Day" plan was
launched with a proclamation by Gov
ernor Thomas L. Bailey, and has been
followed with proclamation by mayors

The idea is Mississippi's own, and in
so far as is known, our state is the
only one in the nation with such a plan
for observing Pearl Harbor day.

added. 1--WE have our assignment, and
with full cooperation, we'll finish the
Job early and really make of this De-

Agriculture.
History is threatening to repeat it
self in the farm land market. Another
farm land boom, closely paralleline
the one that ended so disastrously after
the last war, is building up in this
country. Both the price of farm land
and the number of farm sales in many
areas nave been rising at about the
same rate as in the last war. Ii this
trend continues, rural America had bet
ter watch out.
One encouraging sign is that actual
land prices haven't yet reached the high.
level of 1890. But still we can't say
now how much higher these prices are
likely to go because, in the world war
l period, the high point in the land
market was not reached until more than
a year after the fighting stopped.
1t would be sad indeed if the nation
should witness another seige of Farm
land foreclosures, bankruptcies, and
forced sales such as hundreds of thous-
ands of rural families experienced af-
ter the bottom fell out of the land boom
that accompanied the World War ]
period. For 10 hazardous years after
1920, land prices were on the downhill
trail. And that statistical fact doesn't
begin to tell the full story of human
tragedy and misery. Because when a
wave of bankruptcies hits a community,
everybody suffers-lender and borrow
err, business and professional people a
like. aHe
1t will be particularly unfair for re-
turning veterans, who want to buy land
if they have to compete in an inflated
land market. For them. or farmers
either for that matter, to go heavily in
debt on land prices bid up far beyond
longtime earning capacity is an invita-
ton to disaster.
So my advice is-Don't buy land at
come into sound investments, such as
war bonds, so that you can benefit from
that money in the years ahead.
Public Asked To Help Doctors
The necessity of everyone of US to
cooperate with the medical profession
in order to keep to a minimum he de-
mands on our physicians is urged by
Paul V. McNutt, Chairman of the War
Manpower Commission. Pointing out
that about 1900 physicians had died on
the home front during the first six
months of this year, Mr.. MeNutt said,
"All over the nation our doctors are
sacrificing themselves to help us do a
magnificent job" He cited the day and
nignt work, the extra travel and physi-
cal hardships facing doctors respond
ing to the calls of increased numbers
of people.
New Ceiling Price Lists For Retailers
Supplemental, ceiling price lists that
will include all the changes that have
been made in the prices of dry groceries
since issuance Of the current quarterly
community ceiling price lists will soon
be forwarded to food retailers in most
areas, the Office of Price Administration
Detectives of the additional
lists is to make it easier for retailers
and consumers to keep track of changes
in ceiling prices. Under this plan it will
only be necessary for grocers to post
two lists for dry groceries-the quar-
terly list and this supplement-instead
of the larger number of separate post
ings previously required. Thus it will
be easier for housewives to find the
