HilIsboro Women Campaign
Women of Hillsboro, Highland
County, in 1873 launched the most
remarkable campaign against in
temperance in the history of the
nation, though it failed in its direct
purpose.
After hearing a New York lecturer
in the Presbyterian church tell of
the suffering and deprivation his
drunken father had caused in his
boyhood home, the women met in
the church, raised a fund of more
than $4,000 and started praying in
Hillsboro's IL places where liquor
was sold. No violence was used.
They worked in relays and did not
give the saloon much rest-when
one crew went out, fresh one came
in.
There was the story of one young
man who was about to drink his beer
when at seemed about 1000 women
walked in" Among them he recog-
nized his mother, two cousins and
his prospective mother-in-law. When
they began to sing, he sneaked out
the side door.
Old timers related that about half
the Hillsboro grog-shops closed up
and business became very bad in
those that remained open.

Don't Let Death Take Your Holiday!

On the front doors of too many American homes this
Christmas the gay holly wreath will be replaced by a somber
funeral wreath.
But we believe that we cannot give effective support to the Ma
ional Safety Councils holiday accident prevention campaign If
I'VE refuse, ostrichlike, to face grim reality.
The facts are there. Year after year the accident toll hits a
peak in December. The holiday period, coupled with the seasonal
hazards of early darkness and bad weather, is to blame for the
increase.
Traffic accidents go up because people do more driving
during the holidays and there are more people on the streets.
Another important reason is that there is far more drinking then
than any other time in the year.
The accident toll is swelled by other seasonal hazards, some
: of them within our very home, such as fires resulting from care
less decoration of Christmas trees.
So to those persons who may say, Why bring up the idea
of death and tragedy at Christmas ~ we reply, what better time
is there to bring it up?"
At what time would an accident fall more heavily upon us ?
Always tragic, an accident is doubly tragic at Christmastime. All
around us are JOY and merrymaking, bright lights and warm
hearths, family happiness and friendly goodwill.
Why jeopardize all this in one moment of carelessness?
but with firm resolve that you will not be the one to bring a black
= Christmas to your family or friends, to a stranger or to yourself.
To keep death from taking your holiday costs nothing,
takes no time and requires only a little effort-refusal to take the
drink you can't handle, yielding the right-of-way, waiting for the
light to change, discarding a string of Christmas tree lights with
worn insulation.
Little things-but they pay off big in happiness. They will
4 Keep the lights burning in your home, keep the holy wreath on
your door, and preserve for you and yours the delight that is
America at Christmas.

Sails High School
Big Black Champs

Football championship of tue Big
Black Conference was won by Sails
Wednesday night when the Wildcats
went on a rampage and conquered
Sturgis 800.
The Attala county high school
took the Big Black title in a de-
clsIve game played before a large
crowd on the Holmes Junior College
gridiron at Goodman. The victory
marked the first time Sails has won
the league championship since 1914
and climaxed a successful season
under the guidance of Coach Bo
Holmes.
Good blocking, punting, and rum
ming combined to enable Sails to
in every quarter of the cham
pionship bout. First Sails score came
after the Wildcats recovered a Stur-
gis tumble deep in their own ter
ritory. The tumble completely chang
ed the tide and Sails ran and passed
down the field to pay dirt. Shirly
Robinson plunged over from the five
yard line for the initial Sails touch
down.
Leonard Cain, an outstanding Sal
lis player, was credited with two
t~ouchdowns. One of Gains scores
came on a 30-yard pass from Jack
K~uykendall. Cain broke away for
another 80 yards to cross the goal
line.
Another Sails touchdown was set
up when Robinson lateralled to.
K~uykendall and the fast back ram
35 yards for the score.
Most brilliant run of the Sails
-Sturgis contest was seen in the
final quarter when Jack KuykendalI
took the ball on his own two-yard
line and ran SO yards for another
Sails touchdown.
Sails qualified to play Sturgis for
the championship after walloping
Durant in the semi-finals. Sturgis
entered the game with an impressive
record marred only by a defeat at
the hands of Starkville.

" You can't dodge maintenance. All farmers must spend
money for the maintenance of their farms" says d. Howard
Doane, Doane Agricultural Service. IF the amount is too small,
properties deteriorate and become less and less valuable. If the
proper amount is spent and requirements are made as needed, then
the property may enhance in value. In the end the cost is the same.
The only choice is to decide the pocket from which to take it =
the pants pocket or the farm pocket. Which is best?"
Good farm maintenance pays off in satisfied, happy
tenants; in increased production, in lower accident rates; in
lower fire insurance premiums; and finally in large profits for
operators and a more attractive and wen-groomed countryside.
These are the detectives of Delta Councils Cleanup Campaign.
Under direction of the Travellers Committee, all farmers are be-
ing. urged to cooperate in making the Delta a better place in
which to live.

Behind The Scenes In
AMERICAN BUSINESS
BY KNIGHT

NEW YORK, Dec. 10-The farm
market is becoming more and more
important to American business
This is not solely because this year
and last, farm income reached into
new highs. Even more important is
the fact that u. S. industry is de-
veloping more and more products
for the farmer, recognizing that the
farm has become the greatest mar
ket for mechanical and chemical aids
of all types. This week American in
dustry is truly putting on a show in
Chicago. 1t is the National Farm
Show, and was timed to coincide
with the famed International Live
Stock Show, which brings some $50,
600 people into the Windy City. Once
upon a time, only a few farm equip
ment makers would have been repre-
sented. But now just look at the list.
Dow Chemical is there and Union
Carbide and Carbon, showing what
the giant chemical industry thinks of
the farm market. Oil companies, re-
cognizing the farmer as a consumer
of lubricants and gasoline. set up at
tractive displays to win this 'all-im-
portant market. Even the Encyclo-
pedia Britannica is represented
among the exhibitors, evidencing
the farmer as a cultural consumer,
as well as a user of fertilizers,
trucks, etc.
CREATURE COMFORTS - Here
is a concrete example of a highly
complex product developed indivi-
dually for the farm market. The Min
neapolis- Honeywell Regulator Com
pany, which makes some 1000 types
of controls as well as automatic air.
plane pilots, has just finished a series
of tests on an instrument the farm
market has long needed. The tests
show that, by controlling the tenn
perature of drinking water for steers
during the winter months it is pos
sible to increase beef weight sub
stantially. Experiments were held on
two lots of 2-year old steers for an
30-dav midwinter period. during this
| period outside temperatures varied
from five degrees above e to 25
| degrees below. One lot of steers
drank water warmed with an elect
ric heater controlled by a thermostat
designed by Honeywell for the pur-
pose. The other lot used unheateo
water. At the end of the test each
steer getting the warmed water hac
gained about 10 per cent in weight

MUSCLES JOIN BUSTLES-With
nations farmers able to do twice as
much work mechanically as they did
before the war, muscle power, both
human and animal, is losing out to
the machine for sound economic
reasons. A recent study by Graham
Paige Motors, for instance, found
that while farm machinery prices
have risen only 38 per cent over the
1935-1939 average the cost of farm
labor (when it can be had) has gone
up six times as much. Similarly,
the cost of feed for animals has sky
rocketed during the current period,
while running expenses for machin-
es and equipment have risen very lit
tie in comparison. The result, of
course, as the study points out, is a
marked advantage in the use of
labor-saving mechanical aids. Machi-
merry is also the farmers current
best buy the study pointed out,
because it takes only about half as
much farm output to buy most farm
machines now as it did before the
var since farm prices are now about
two and one-half times the prewar
average, while machinery has in
creased only the previously mention
ed 38 per cent.
BITS % BUSINESS-No doubt
about it, television is going over.
Appliance dealers and other mer-
chants should watch the trend. Next
year a number of companies will re-
peat the radio pattern by offering
lower priced sets. AS more and more
sets get out into public hands, pro-
| grams will become more frequent
and available to more areas. In New
| York, the Hotel Roosevelt has just
| installed 40 rooms with ~television
| sets, expects to get a premium charge
| for those particular rooms In
| dustry's appetite for new machines
is uncurbed. Shipments of new
! machines were up "a per cent in
| October over the month previous.
The battle over easy credit terms on
consumer goods continues. Best guess
is that Regulation w will be restor-
ed as one measure by Washington to
combat the inflationary spiral. Big
retailing units r divided on the
/ question, though reports continue to
grow that competition between stores
to offer easier terms to customers is
growing more pronounced.
