MeadDaoiies Yesterday a man walked into a McComb store to buy, a suit. Said he, "My wife has the money in the bank but the trouble with mc is getting it She ought to let him get that suit. Dress him up, lady, and make him more lovable to hi 3 wife. Attended one of those "you-cJap-for-mine-and-d'lI-cIap-fo r-yours" recitals. Young fingers extended themselves cn the piano as beams of pride and gratification broke over parental faces.

It was a good recital, ably staged by Mrs. Anne Hoar with her musical pupils. Troof that it was good was evidenced by the fact that every parent told every other parent just how well their respective youngsters conducted themselves. A five-year-old West Point laddie died from hydrophobia. Why not accept this as a warning and call Dr.

W. C. Williams or some other reputable vcternarian and have your dog vaccinated. A lady was feeding a dozen or so ducks in a park yesterday. One duck swallowed a diamond which it took from her ring.

The puzzling ques-ion now is, which of the duck gizzards holds the precious stone. The voters of Pennsylvania evidently went on a sit-down strike. The C.I.O. candidate tor U. S.

Senate post was snowed under. Significant factorin this election is that John Lewis was supposed to be stronger in Pennsylvania than in any other state. A prisoner in Indiana was released in custody of a guard and allowed to attend the funeral of his mother. To save the family "face" the guard removed the handcuff. While all heads were bowed in prayer the prisoner quietly slipped out the back door and escaped.

lieer drinkers of Chicago are being aided by the municipal government. More beer, less foam, the law. Too bad seme such rule can not be applied to national politics. The Jno. L.

Lewis crowd gave the Roosevelt campaign a half million dollars. Perhaps this is one reason why Lewis, after his defeat in Pennsylvania, is dining at the White House. President Green of the A.F. of L. was not asked.

In Baton Rouge the legislators are playing havoc again with the chain stores. Drastic tax increases are proposed. Harold Ickcs went to Ireland or rather Eire. While there Harold married a 25-ycar-old lady. The new Mrs.

Ickes steps right up into American politics and American society. Youngster blew a subway whistle. Judge said, "Go to jail or let mamma whip you." Now it is up to the parent to return the boy with welts. No welts he goes to jail. Governor White is happy over a letter from Franklin Roosevelt telling of a 27 million dollar to enhance highway construction.

This means that the road from Summit to Meadville will be paved. A drunk didn't like the jail in Pittsburgh when the judge sentenced him to six months. He asked to be transferred to the federal pen. He got what he asked for. A.

Anderson, chairman of the re-organization committee of Mississippi, says a campaign will be waged to "emphasize the importance of forestry in the economic life cf Mississippi." 1 aging LABORITE IS ASSAILED BY CHAMBERLAIN By The Associated Press LONDON, May 25 Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain today answered sweeping labor charges of lagging air rearmament with a declaration that Great Britain's air force, "if put to the test tomorrow, would provide to be one of the most formidable fighting machines in the world."

Bill Williams to Return Home This Week from Memphis Bill Williams, Oie Miss football star who has been ill for some time, will be brought to the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. M.

Plant WARS STARTED BY STRUGGLE FOR COLONIES The struggle -f ot" colonics' by the great powers has been responsible for many recent wars, the Rev. N. H. Flowers, pastor of the Magnolia Presbyterian church, told the McComb Rotary club at noon today in an address on' "International Affairs." "Abolition of slavery was one of the greatest advances man has made," the Rev. Mr.

Flowers said, adding that groups of people such as colonies should not be held in bondage any more so than individuals. One of the greatest needs today is to let colonial people government themselves or to select the country they, want to be governed by, the speaker stated. Three-fifths of the people of the world govern the other two-fifths without their consent. The Rev. Mr.

Flowers said there are five reasons the great powers seek colonies. They are: For raw materials, to provide a market for their own industrial products, to alievate population congestion, to provide access to Avar materials, and to add national prestige. Theories of coloniztion are wrong, he pointed out. Africa, nearly the whole of which is split into European colonies, supplys only 3.6 per cent of the world's raw materials. Before the World war, Germany's colonies supplied her with only one-half of one per cent of her raw materials.

The Rev. Mr. Flowers cited The Netherlands and Sweden to further prove his point. "Holland which has colonies is no richer than Sweden which has none," he said. Only one-fortieth of the colonies lie in the temperate zone, hence very little of them is suitable for white people to live in, he continued.

Before the war more Germans were settled in other countries than in Germany's colonies. More Japanese live in the United States than live in Japan's colonial possessions. Auto Victim Is Reported Better at Hospital Here Princeton Wilson, 8-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Lamar Wilson, of Gillsburg, was reported in an improved condition today at the McComb Infrmary.

He was injured when run over by an automobile Monday near Gillsburg. mploye Pike's Health Progress Reviewed by Publication Special to The Daily Enterprise NEW YOBI, May 25 The Commonwealth News-Letter, official publication of the- Commonwealth Foundation of New York in its currewt issue reviewed the admirable record in public health perf ormancef attained by the Pike county, health department. The article in part follows: During the spring, the public health pjerf ormance of county health in which the Fund is interested has been reviewed.

For the second year In succession, this county has "been awarded first place in the southeastern district in the Health Conservation Contest sponsored by the United States Chamber of Commerce.

This is all vevy well, but a more vivid picture of. what is going on in the county is to be found in a fragment from a naxrative report of tiie health unit: "A man came to the county registrar of births and deaths to obtain a burial permit to bury his infant grandson who had just died. This infant was a prema ture twin. Each of the twins rweighed less than four pounds Advocates Abandonment of Cotton Control Program By The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS, May 25. W.
