Ever Since Eve

Women in Japan have taken a
beck seat in every phase of life =
social, political or economical and
were more or less contented to let
the men excel in everything and
gather all the glory. For one thing,
they were never given the opportu-
nifty TO do anything about it, so
that they could acquire some
achievements of their own. Since
the war though, things have chan
ged drastically and the Japanese
women have come out of their
shells to show the superior males
that they too possess brains be-
meath their elaborate hairdos 3.
The Nortnwest-Orie Airlines news
bulletin Words on Wings for Wo-
men,, gives an interesting outline
on some of the things found in
modern Japan. So, through the
courtesy of the VIVA News Bureau,
let's look into the lives of the women
over the fair land of cherry blossoms
today
Japanese women have adopted a
novel classification system to sim :
plify and stabilize prices, and TO
designate fair and reputable retail
stores with which they will trade.
Housewives in Tokyo, Osaka, Ma
goya, Hamamatsu and Toyohashi
chose as Superior Shops certain
stores which were known to be out
standing for fairness and good SER
vice to customers. A five-color pos
ter depicting the sale of goods at
official prices are displayed in these
superior stores. This naturally draws
the Japanese people as well as the
Americans living in Japan, and the
tourists, who cannot stay long
enough to know for sure themselves
if they are trading at reputable
stores. These stores must maintain
their high standards to retain their
ratings. American housewives might
take a tip from these japanese
The long and flowing and rather
shapeless Japanese kimono, worn
by Japanese women for centuries
have finally given way to the more
feminine mode of dress - the Amer
lean new look. The new look

Can You Afford-Not To?

Much has been said about the south's one crop econo-
my and it is generally recognized by most dle-nards lnat
we must eventually turn from cotton to livestock, darylng
and poultry-that we must strive for a year ROUND Iarm-
ing program if we are going to have a year round income
and the latter on a level with the excellent income enJoyeu
by farmers of the west and midwest.
An editorial in The ProgressiveFarmer asks: "Are
you growing exactly the things you want to be growing Tor
the next ten years-the next 20 years? II not, and you
would like to keep more milk cows, more hogs, more beef
cattle, or more sheep-get started now. What your farm
produces this year and next may determine What 1t Will be
allowed to produce for years thereafter"
It is suggested that by next year the government
will tell farmers to plant less cotton-and how many acres
"A farmer is allowed to plant will be gagged on what ne has
The same will be true in regard to livestock, dairying
and poultry, if and when the time comes when America mas
too much livestock, too many dairy cows, too many mems
This may and probably will be several years comlng-be-
fore American farmers to get a guaranteed price for their
products must accept quotas. But when the time comes the
quotas will surely be set upon past production.
Agriculture Department officials are quoted as say
ing America needs to keep it's level of livestock production
30 per cent above 10 years ago-our livestock has not in
creased as fast as our population and is now approaching an
ail-time low for the past go years with the exception OF FIVE
years during the drouth in the 30s.
If America is going to have the meat, milk, butter
and eggs to maintain her standard of living she must pro-
Here is the south's golden opportunity. We do not
need imports from abroad to fill this gap. If production IS
begun in the south as it should be we can produce enough

Can we afford to do this?
AZ long as a big part of the milk used in our cities

AZ t6np as most of the eggs eaten in Southern cities

more hens and plant less cotton.
As long as we can turn hogs in a corn or grain sor-
ehum field and the hogs will pay twice as much for the gram
as the market, we can afford to add more nogs and plah'
less cotton.
rastures. we can afford to add more beet cattle and plant
less cotton.

Ii Happened In illinois

A limited Press dispatch last week from Chicago
which received little attention in the nations press reveals
! white-haired negro has been released from the state PEN
itentiarv in Illinois where he was serving a life sentence on
q rape charge.
The aged Negro won his freedom after he proved ne
was framed by officials and was not guilty OF the crime Tor
which he went to prison in 1924 and for which ne mas al
ready served 6 years, seven months and one day.
The Negro, James Montgomery, 81, repeatedly beam
ed when he heard Federal Judge Michael Igoe order his re-
lease.
sT plan to sit down for a while now and look at the
sunshine" he said.
The odd thing about this shocking miscarriage of JUG
tice is that it happened in Rhinestone of the supposedly en-
frightened states of the Union-and not in the jungles of the
deep south.
To make a bad matter worse for Illinois Montgomery
was threatened by a police official at the time of his trial
with action by the Ku Klux Khan if he attempted to prove
his innocence
IF you were in Georgia or Mississippi we'd turn you
over to the Ku Kux Khan. We're likely to do that now be-

We walked out of the Democrat
ic convention and no longer be-
long to the Democratic party as
1t now stands-we don't like the
folks who control it so we have
one of our own-the States Rights
party. The majority of folks in
Mississippi, the vast majority,
supported this party last summer
with their vote, and would support
it again if the opportunity pre-
sented itself.
Why we should even want re-
presentation as a state on the Ma
tional Democratic committee
when we are out of the party is
beyond me-nor do we see how
we could claim membership on il
since we have SAID ourselves that
we want no part of certain legis-
Iation called for by that group.
While we have no claim to
membership on the National De-
mocratic committee neither, we
claim, does any other group in
the state. Thus Mississippi's two
seats on this committee are va
can't and will remain SO until the
people of Mississippi hang their
heads IN shame and decide to play
ball with the ex-Pendergast gang
If they ever should, Heaven for
bid.
Meanwhile the States Fighters
are in control of Mississippi poll
tics fair and square and will re-
main so-and our electoral vote
still counts just as; much toward
electing a president as ever be-
fore-and III will be needed i'm the
next presidential election possib-
ly more, we hope, than it was in
the last one unless they pass a
law depriving US Of the right to
vote.
Anyway, If we don't tuck our
tai11 and crawl back to the dom
key it will be- an interesting pre-
sidential race in the Magnolia
stats-there's: no telling how hot
thosa" deep-frseze boys can get.
