TRADING WITH COMMUNISTS

General Macarthur has sent a long, secret report to the Army De- partment urging the United States Government to do business with the Chinese Communists. He recommends that the U. s. Military Government in Japan be permitted to buy coal and coke from the North China mines now in the hands of Chinese Communists t. Macarthur urges trade with the Communists because it will save the American Government nearly S35 a ton on the price of coal for Japan. Gt costs $50 ton to ship the coal to Japan from the United States, while the Chinese will sell it for about S15 ton.) Also, Mac Arthur thinks US. trade would tend to keep Chinese Communist leaders from getting too chummy with Moscow

AT Crump Stadium
In Yazoo City Friday

The Holmes Northwest game
originally scheduled for play at
Senatobia has been changed, and
will be played Friday night, No
vember 18th at Crump stadium
in Yazoo City. The game will get
underway at 8 pm.
The Yazoo Touchdown club got
in touch with school authorities
at Northwest last week and man
aged to get the site Of the game
changed from Senatobia to Yazoo
City. The game is well advertis-
ed, and tickets may be secured

The following business estab-
lishments are handling advanced
ticket sales in Holmes county:
Howell and Heggie Drug store,
Durant; Beall's Drug sotre, Lex

The game promises to be one of
the best on the Holmes schedule

proved greatly from early season
games, and has recently played
the Sunflower Trojans to a 1920
tie, and last week defeated the
strong East Central Warriors of
Decatur 14-13.
Holmes has been showing con-
siderable improvement in recent
weeks, and defeated their arch
rivals, the Kinds Eagles at Ray
mond 2l-14, and the past week
sent the East Mississippi Lions
back to Scooba with a 200 de-
feat. The Holmes Bulldogs now
enjoy a $40 record and are an

Vets Dividend Checks
Mailed This Wuy-Moybe

Let's all rub out and start o. et

will receive those insurance divi-
dend checks said Bob DeKay, OF

mission toby.
1t seems now that all of those
rumors and reports released re-
Gently from Washington, setting
up system for releasing checks
based on the numbers appearing
on the acknowledgment card
were erroneous, according to the
Veterans Administration. just
forget them.
As of November 4, .1949, SAYS
the VA, these checks will be re-
leased as follows.
Generally, the checks will be
issued on the basis of the last
three digits of the service serial
number. The full serial number,
VA said, is of no significance in
determining order of payment.
On a certain portion of the ap-
Paications, additional information
Will have to be developed. These
will be handled separately.
Applications will be broken
down into groups as they are re-
ceived. These groups will be Sc
parated into 10 processing units
by the last serial digits from zero
to nine. The first largt group of
applications is now being worked
on in this manner.
Thus, a veteran whose serial
number is 35,469, 900 will be in
clnded in the first mailing be-
cause the last three digits of his
number are 600. There is a YOU
cher writing machine for each of
the 10 groups. The overall num-
Der of accounts it is hoped to
h.ndle will b. 1000, 900 every day.
This total VIII be reached by
drawing 10000 cards from each of
the 40 grours.
VA explained that this method
of payment was selected after a
careful study of all factors as
the most Notwithstanding sys-
tenn that could be devised. For
veterans who had more than n
serial number while in service,
VA will use the number in each
certificate. Subsequent applica-
tons received will be handled in
case that appears on the NSLI
the same manner.
The above procedure" said
DeKay, lis subject to revision,
RECESSION, or repeal by the VA. 1t
will be lots of fun to figure, how
ever, these long nights"

Lexington vs. Durant
Grid Battle Comes
To Head Thursday
Teams Deudlocked
For Previous Comes

The Lexington Hornets and the
Durant Tigers, traditionally the
bitterest of rivals on the football
field, will clash tonight at Durant
in the final game of the season for
both teams.
Past records of the two teams
mean little because the spirit and
determination OF the players and
the breaks" are always deter
mining factors in any football
game.
In l949 the final score was 12-
IL and in 1916 the game ended in
in a s~coreless tie. In 1947 Durant
defeated Lexington more than 2
tcachdowns.
Durant has won four games and
lost three this season and have
scored 116 points while having
ia points scored against them.
Lexington has won seven games.
tied one, and has lost none and
has scored 295 points and have
had only rs points scored against
them. Lexington's tie game was
with Sails, which ended 1918.
Hornet victories and scores for
the other games played this sea-
son are Walden 47-0, West AT,
Sturgis 42-0, McAdams $40, Ben
ton 1910, Ethel 1910, and Tchula
800.
Lexington and Durant have
played four common foes this sea-
son and the scores indicate that
Lexington will have a decided
edge in the coming battle. Those
games were with West, Sails,
Benton and Tchula. Lexington
scored a total of los points in
these games and had Is points
scored against them. Durant
scored 81 points while 70 points
were scored against them.
The final score Of the coming
game is anybody's guess and a
! record crowd is expected at Ben
. nett's field tonight.
The probable starting lineup for
Lexington is as follows: Klon-
: arts, c; Lee and Chapman, G.;
/ Frost and Rogers, T; Shepherd
/: and Russell, E; Written, OBJ;
s Pepper, LII; Gilmore, FB; and
: Harvey, RH,
a Durant's llneup will probably
be as follows: Mcbride, C; Roby
