This week has been designated Join The Farm Bureau
week. A special effort will be made to enroll all OF the farmers
and business men of Holmes County in the Bureau from now I'M
til November 18th.
Dues are ten dollars annually for white members and three
dollars for colored.
The Farm Bureau is an organization of, by and for the
farmer. 1t seeks to protect his interest in Washington where
it constantly needs protecting.
The Farm Bureau has a record of accomplishments that
merits the hundred percent support of every farmer in Holmes
County. The service it renders is worth many times It's cost d
every informed citizen knows.
Among the concrete accomplishments of the Bureau are
the following: It kept the OPA from putting a ceiling OF "a cents
on cotton in 1916 and helped secure an increase in the price OF
cotton seed at the beginning of the current season; secured an
increase in the price of wood that brought three million dollars
additional into the state; fought to save the soil conservation pro-
gram for 1947 and secured about three hundred million dollars
for AAA payments.
The Farm Bureau must have funds to carry on its work.
These funds come only from memberships.
The support of every Holmes County farmer and business
man 10 solicited and will be appreciated. See a member of the COM
mittee today.
What helps the farmer helps YOU.

Delegate Bonus"
From The New Orleans Tmes-Picayune

~ IA NSW olSuAo AbHSS
Continuance by the national committee OF the plus system
for Democratic national convention delegation strength adds
some 70 votes to the total poll for 194S convention in Philadelphia.
OF these, additionally Solid South states pick up 20, and other
Southern states an additional 8.
The plus or bonus system, dating from the 1914 con-
vention, is based on the national election showing. The delegations
from various states formerly numbered twice the electoral total.
Two members were added to delegations from states that IN l94o
voted Democratic; and the same "plus" has been authorized, cumu-
lative in effect, for 1914 adherence. Thus Louisiana, with III eec-
tors, now is entitled to "a delegates.
The system may not be a perfect one, but 1T tends toward
alocating nominating weight to the states where Democratic
strength has been proved, and reducing the weight where such
strength has not been proved. A perfect system, among other
things, would have to anticipate correctly the detailed results Oh
the 194S presidential election and it would have to determine the
"bonus" on a straight percentage rather than a flat basis.
The Souths "solid 10" with 115 electoral votes, can now
cast. in electoral terms, about 1875 nominating votes. But since so
many other states, on the basis of 1914 results, enjoy a similar
proportionate gain, the national committees action cannot be SAID
to give this section any actual relative advancement. Granting the
continuation of the plus system, or the introduction of a minus
system. it would require a series of four-year setbacks to make
the South stand out as a real power in the nominating convention
Of the four states that changed affllatlon between l94o
and 1914, Ohio, Wyoming and Wisconsin shifted from Democratic
to Republican. They will retain their "bonus" for 1910, while Mic
higan, which reversed the process, will pick up two votes for its
1874 ao2ygSon.

Armistice Day, November 18th

Armistice Day will be observed Throughout. the nation next
Tuesday, November 18th. At this day we will again pay tribute
to our honored dead of two World Wars.
On this day it is fitting we should honor the dead by serV-
ing the living the parents, wives, children, OF those who deo
that this country might achieve victory over its enemies.
There is no better way we can serve the living, all genera
tions, than to take heed and resolve that there shall never be an
other World War for certainly another war involving
atomic energy is too horrible to contemplate.
The prevention of another war will take more than Just
resolving, however. 1t will take a strong, undivided foreign policy
of the United States government backed by the support and CO..
operation of the American people. 1t will take statesmanshlp OF
the highest. type in our Congress to insure America rendering the
kind of leadership and service necessary to make the United
Nations work.
The United Nations Organization MUST WORK.
1t must be MADE TO WORK.
With the authority of a strong America, backed by a
powerful Army-Navy-Ar force the United Nations amounts to
little or nothing. We cannot combat Russia with words, resolu-
lions. We must keep strong in a military sense with sufflclent
trained manpower and reserves. This calls for compulsory mill
tary training for young America.
Let us hope that when Congress reconvenes it will have the
leadership capable of overcoming politics and getting the coopera-
ton needed to pass the right kind of military training leglslaton
needed. Such legislation is long overdue and the fact that 1t mas
not been passed is an Indictment of our Congress.
America cannot afford an armed conflict with Russia,
The only way we can prevent it is to be strong and tough
We cannot forever go on marking NEW Armistice Days.

has been true of larger and larger
airplanes have been built to date. So
convinced is Hughes that aeronautl-
cal science will benefit enormously
through knowledge gained by test
ing the huge craft, he has voluntarily
put more than 100000 of his own
funds into the development and con-
~struction. He was not obliged to put
a penny into it under his contract to
build it for the government.
BITS o. BUSINESS-The amount
of paper devoured in this country
each year is simply staggering-some
25 million tons. Most people think of
n%ewsprint consumption when they
think Of paper. Actually, newsprint
now a commodity that is too scarce
ple-takes the smallest share of
American consumption. Paperboard
and building papers account for the
largest consumption, with wrapping
paper second and book publishing
third. Americans use more paper
than any other material except wood
and steel. The 43 million work
ers in non-agricultural pursuits did
all right in September, according to
government figures. Average weekly
pay was $50.42, which was 112 per
cent better than in 1899. Cost of liv-
ing, meanwhile, has risen only 30
per cent. Corporate business in
1916 earned AZ cents on each sales
dollar, which was less than in 1929
or 1941. The CED, an organization
of large business men, is plugging a
program to help small business. Pro-
gram is based on three points: /.
Help in problem of management: 2.
Help on taxes and financing; 3. Help
on competitive opportunity.

You do not hear much about thrift
these DAYS. 1t seems to be an old
| fashioned word as well as an old
| fashioned virtue. But the Christmas
| Clubs as an example of thrift-and
as a means of storing up purchasing
power for the gift season-are thirty
| ing as never before. More than two
| million Americans saved almost
| $3.50 million through mutual savings
bank Christmas Clubs. Some of the
| gladstone money, at least, will jingle
through merchants cash registers all
| over the u. S. The Christmas Club
as a means of saving was started IN
the mutual savings banks, which are
largely concentrated in the east. But
other types of banks took up the idea
quickly, and now people all through
the country make use of their con-
venience. There is a moral ONE
where. 1t seems to be simply this:
give the average American a specific
purpose for saving and he can be
counted upon to act as thriftily as
any New Highlander.
BATTLING FLU-The statement
that influenza vaccine is helping to

facetious to most people, but that is
just what it is doing, in sort of a
roundabout way in the plants of one
of the nations largest manufacturers
of freight equipment-Pullman-
Standard Car Manufacturing Com
pany. A year ago, Pullman Standard
sponsored free flu shots for its en-
ployees in 80 per cent of the cases.
Actually, the results were much bet
ter, for in one plant alone, where
ITO persons were innoculated, more
than SO per cent kept off the sick
list. With the nations railroads
badly in need of new freight equip
ment, Pullman-Standard is sponsor
ing influenza shots again this year,
to provide workers a deterrant
against the illness and to reduce
resultant losses of wages and pro-
duction. The program is entirely
voluntary, workers filling out cards

Salute To The Marines

Monday, November 10th, will mark the 172nd birthday OF
the United States Marines, a military outfit with as proud a MS
tory and as rich in tradition as the United States itself.
Formed by the Continental Congress on November lotn'
ITS and made a permanent organization in 1898, the Corps literal
ly grew up with the country.
Requirements for service in the Marines are high and men
who measures up to its standards have reasons to be proud. "A
Marine will tell you, always, there is no branch of the service
and it always seems to us there is a spirit found in the Marines
not evidenced elsewhere.
So, on the occasion of their 172nd anniversary, we are
happv to congratulate the Marines on their accomplishments IN
times of war and peace and to wish for them many, many
happy returns.

Tells Of Hardships And
OF Bribery By
Her

FUERTH, Germany, Oct. 49,
R-Irma Mohaupt, 22-year-old
American-born girl, of Cincin-
natl, told a story of escape after
three years in a Russian work
camp, how she walked until her
feet were swollen, and eventual
ly reached freedom in the Amer
lean zone of Germany.
Now chubby and healthy, the
girls story began in Yugoslavia
where she said her German-born
father was killed before her eyes
by %partisans, and where she said
she saw Soviet troops SCOT six
German soldiers on a dance-floor
then hold a dance on it.
The five-year story was ended
by her own efforts, she said,
after the U. S. State department
was unable to accomplish her
repatriation.
She finally escaped, she said,
by bribing the prison command
ant and the doctors with 500
rubles which she had earned by
sewing at night.
