the subject of an address by Cyrus
Bahakel, of Kosciusko, before the
Lexington Rotary club at its regular
luncheon meeting, Tuesday, at the

sent.
Though much of American radio
has not yet been proven the Ameri-
can system is the greatest in the
world today, Mr.. Bahakel said, men
tioning radio freedom to advertise
and to back a cause such as a States
Rights campaign.
Touching on FIN and television.
Mr.. Bahakel did not predict either.
for Mississippi "in the near future"
but said that FIN will come first"
He said radio is 'being stifled in
the South" because northern, CEN
trally-controlled, and financially
dominant, interests require homage
of the small stations, and don't care
about the programs we get here"
He said radio advertising was the
fost effective advertising of the
American MERCHANT, but that he
would not exclude newspaper and
other advertising, as well.

Seasonal Cotton Race
With Time And Weathe
Is Now Going Strong
County Agent Sullivan
Reports Crop Schedule
Ahead OF Lost Years

The farmers race against time
and the weather, is now going
strong, according to reports. Coun-
ty Farm Agent w. H. Sullivan says
the season is well under way, that
cotton has been picked in the
county up to the present than 'in a
good many years."
The crop is three weeks ahead of
the schedule last year. and though
appearances are not as good as back
in July and around the first of
August, there is still expected a
good yield.
"a mighty good corn crop" is pre-
dicted by Mr.. Sullivan, and shay is
doing well after the rains last
week" Crop damage due to storms
and the cool spell in neither grain
nor cotton were noticeable. A scar
city of cotton pickers is reported.
Two Thousand Hund Pickers
H. H. Thomas, manager of the
local State Employment office, re-
ports that some near 1000 Negroes
were picking cotton by hand over
the county, with truckloads of the
workers leaving Lexington, Tchula.
and other central meeting points,
each day.
The IL mechanical pickers in the
county pull the fiber at a cost of
operation, plus approximately $40 a
bale additional due to a lowering OF
the grade of cotton in the mechani-
cal process. Handpicked, the fiber is
one grade higher, bust costs about
$40 a bale, getting it picked. One
machine can do seven to 10 bales a
day, Mr.. Sullivan said.
Cotton picking this year, by hand,
is bringing SO to $3.50 a hundred
pounds, more than was averaged
last year, the county agent said.
Considering that the seed is not as
good as last year, and the prices not
as high, the high price paid for cot
ton picking is "about 81 too much
according to MI. Sullivan.
Cotton growers using mechanical
cotton pickers this season are: Craw-
ford Logan. Louis Lowentritt, Guy
Sharp, Frank Gwin, James Peaster,
of Tchula; Ras M. Branch, Goodman,
Tol Thomas, and Sam Hughes, OF
Cruger, S. J.. Foose, Jr., j. P. Love,
Tchula, and Robert B. Garrarde OF
Thornton.
Though the hill crop appears
much better than last year, the
Delta is about the same, Agent Sui
Ivan said Forty-four to As thousand
bales in the county are predicted.
Last year about $4,000 were grown.

ger, that the deadline for filling out
the forms originally set for Septem-
Der 4, has been extended to Satur-
day, September II, in the hope that
the minimum requirement OF U
available remale workers would be
met by that time.
Mr.. Thomas, who is working as
chairman of the committee in charge
of the urvey in collaboration with
the Chamber of Commerce, is this
week contracting business houses,

ticle and gets it down to the lowest
figure in liras before arguing about
the rate Of exchange.
Florence is still the center of a
flourishing business in leather goods
and world-famous mosaics. In We
nice the beautiful Venetian glass is
probably the largest business. Prices
are so high on Venetian lace that
few people buy. Prices on all goods
which tourists usually buy for
souvenirs and gifts for the folks
back home have doubled and tripled.
Even then the margin of profit is
not as much as before the wal .
vet the workers have less of every
thing.
An excellent rule for European
travellers is this: Don't buy any,
thing you can't take with you.
Venetian glass and antiques that
have to be packed in cases are very
expensive by the time you get them
home-if you get them. Transpor-
tation of glass especially is prohibit
tive.

Just Found Out
BY William /. Dunes

There are lot of people who
would like to change their names
or faces, and who go around say
ing, Gee, l wish l could change
my name," or 81 wish my face
weren't so Jewish looking" Well
-Supposing you got up this morn
ing and as you dressed looked into
the mirror and made wiSh-and
now you've got face, name you
like.
Outdoors you go, to business, to
the grocery store, to school, or
maybe Just to loaf around. The
world looks strange as you wander
around with your new look"
Everywhere you go there are
faces that seem strangely familiar.
At first you are curious, puzzled,
and then it strikes you as being
very funny. EVERYONE LOOKS
EXACTLY LIKE YOU DO! When
you made that wish everyone's
face, clothes, names, mannerisms
all became identical. You don't
like the situation, you'd like to be
your old self again, to be different
but it is a little too late. The
world has suddenly gone stale
for you.
Picture the world as a garden,
these peoples, names, races, creeds
as perpetual flowers. For a truly
beautiful garden we've got to
have them all. They provide the
world a bed of ever-blooming,
ever changing surprises which
prevents us all from being bored
and the world in general from be-
ing monotonouS. The only trouble
with this garden is that every once
in a while few bitter, grasping,
I'm the only flower" weeds such
as the Klu Klux Klan, the Silver
Shirts, the Nazis, and few news
papers, try to crowd out the rest
of the flowers in the garden under
the mistaken belief that they are
the "only" flowers.
Occasionally a few of these
weeds" succeed in frightening,
bluffing, and even shaming a few
of the lesser flowers into shedding
a petal of their bloom"
But, in the end, if the rest of
the garden pulls together, realizes
that we must have unity for
strength, that the yellow flowers,
the purple ones, the green ones,
all working together for uni
versal beauty of peace, and toler-
ance, will eventually stamp out
the weeds" in the garden of
brotherly love. A N D T H E
WORLD WILL BE AT PEACE.
So that's why'd like to sug-
gest you read David L. Cohn's
article in the April issue of The
Atlantic Monthly called "I've
Kept My Name" If you like his
writing read "This Is the Story"
and you'll enjoy his Ernie Pyle
type of PaIeStinean touch.

u. 5. Striving 10 Raise
Uranium Production
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

The United States is taking steps
to boost domestic production of the
main atomic ore, uranium.
The Atomic Energy Commission
announced last night that it is nego-
tiating with the Vanadium Corp. of
America to purchase uranium from
two ore treatment plants which are
to start operation next year.
Most of the vital metal now used
in Americas atomic energy program
comes from the Belgian Congo and
Canada, but the commission said
the Vanadium firm is expected to
get the greater part of its ore from
its own Western mines and from
independent miners.
The new operation may prove a
boon to the Navajo Indians of Ari-
zona, New Mexico and Utah, who
recently were in need of a special
relief appropriation from Congress-
Some of the ore may come from
their reservation.
OF the two ore treatment plants,
one already in existence at Durango,
Colo, is to be leased to the Vana-
dium Corp. by the commission. The
other will be built by the firm in
the White Canyon district of San
Juan County, Utah.
The possibility that another source
Of uranium may open up in the West
was seen in the disclosure yesterday
that Wesley r. Collins, a Costa
Mesa, Calf, plumbing contractor
had dug up small quantities of the
ore ON his ranch.
A San Bernardino chemist, noting
that the ore has a geiger count
of 26, said the Government Is in
terested in anything with a count
above Is. The Atomic Commission,
he added, considers 40 about right
for commercial recovery.
The length OF the boundary of
the United States, on all points of
the compass, is 10,748.
