'Poliomyelitis," she pointed out,
"is one Of the most expensive dis

require continuing care for several
years. Not only must many victims
of past epidemics receive continuing
care, but each years outbreaks add

Farm Bureau Protests
Ceilings On Cotton
Moye Is Deemed
Unnecessary and
AlII-Advised Now

Protest against the proposed cell
ing on raw cotton has been made to
Chester Bowles, OPA administrator,
by the Mississippi Farm Bureau
Federation through its president,
Ransom Aldrich. In a telegram sent
to Mr.. Bowles the state farm orga-
nization president stated that the
announcement of raw cotton price
ceilings is ill-advised and unwar-
ranted."
The telegram continued, "Such an
order will ALLEVIATE some Of OPA's
strongest supporters and jeopardize
its future existence"
It also pointed out that with the
shortest crop, most adverse weather,
and the highest production cost In
decades, farmers cannot see the
necessity Of raw cotton price ceilings
in the face of spiraling industrial
wages when the cotton farmers in
come Is the lowest in the nation.
Mr.. Aldrich stated that no action
on the part Of the government in
years had created such strong pro-
test among farmers in Mississippi
and throughout the south. He plans
to be in Washington during the week
Of January IA, at which time he will
confer with government officials re-
sarding this action and seek to pre-
vent it, application. a.,
Z Farm Bureaus throughout the
South are understood to be planning
. concerted program in order to op-
pose the application Of price ceilings
on raw cotton.
1T Is difficult to reconcile this
action of the government, one
spokesman said, with the efforts Of
the government on the other hand
to boost wages from 20 to Is per
cent. It doesn't seem right to pena-
lize the cotton farmer, who repre-
sents the lowest income group in
the nation at this time".
1t was also pointed out that cotton
was one of the last farm commodi-
ties to sell slightly in excess of pari-
ty. Many farm commodities are sell
ing in excess of 100 per cent Of pari-
| ty.

ROOT OF ALL EVIL

For the love Of money is the roo,
of all evil: which while some covet-
ed after, they have erred from the
faith, and pierced themselves
through with many sorrows. But
thou, O man Of God flee these
things; and follow after righteous
ness, godliness, faith, love patience,
meekness. I Tim. 6:l0. II. !.
This 1reet truth was given by the
Apostle, Paul many years ago as he
wrote to Timothy. instructing him
how to live. and warning him Of
those things that would lead him
astray. :. !,
I wonder II this Il not 20 in oaz
land today: The love Of money il the
root Of all evil. He did not say II
was the money but the love Of it
Let US look at the trouble in ou1
country today. 4
First look at the many thousands
that are standing idle today. and
holding up the production of many
things the people need. Why? The
love of money.
What was the cause of this ter
rible thing in Chicago the other day
where this man takes this sweet lit.
tie girl from her bed and cuts her
to pieces. The note left in the room
says the Love of Money. Paul cried
out, thou o man of God flee these
things.
Why will man operate place tc
sell another something that will
make him 60 home, kill his wife,
and all his children then take his
own life. 1t is the 'love of money.
What made Ananias and Sapphira
lie about the land they had sold?
"The love of money.
Why are there so many working
on the Sabbath day? 1t is because of
the "Love Of Money. They say we
get time and half for that. But listen
to the word of God Remember the
Sabbath and Keep 1t Holy Why
will men and women hunt, and fish
on Gods holy day. 1t is because they
don't want to lose that dollar, by
laying off. "The love of money is
the root Of all evil.
Why is it that you keep on rob-
bing God? How much of your salary
did you tithe this last year. I pray
God to send the Holy Spirit and ar
rest every one of you, then you,
dear friend, confess to Him and He
will forgive you, and bless you and
keep you. Come worship with us at

VIM. a. brennan. once Of Lexing-
ton, Miss, in October last was called
BY the Mutual Broadcasting Com
pany in Los Angeles, to speak for
Mississippi in q series Of broadcasts
on the States. Win was always an
interesting and well informed talker
and told those people, few Of whom
knew anything at all about Missis-
sippi, much that they must have
found interesting. Among matters
not generally known to us;-Nearly
two centuries ago an ancestor Of his,
one Torrey--his mothers family
name came from Scotland to Clai-
borne County and with Indian labor
built the first protestant--a Presby-
terian-church in the state. In the
Mexican War there were more Mis-
sissippi soldiers than men from any
other state. At Buna Vista the First
Mississippi Regiment commanded
by jefferson Davis, saved the day
for the u. S. Forces. Mississippi was
the first State to have an Immigra-
ton Agent. He was sent to the
British Isles and induced many from
protestant Ireland counties, many
Scotch and English to emigrate to
this State where the Dancing Rab-
bit Creek treaty with the Choctaws
had opened a great body Of very
fertile land well wooded and water
ed. Wills father was Judge w. A.
brennan, whose home was the
handsome residence now occupied
by the Leslie Johnsons in West End.
His mother was q Torrey whose
family home was on the old lower
Durant road just to the east OF Tor
rey's Creek. OF the three girls and
four boys who grew up here two
more-Albert and Bertha, living IN
New Orleans-besides Will, survive.
The Drennans from the franklin
aeiehborhood are cousins. They
have always been fine people.
