"ASSOCIATION Prohibition Amendment Repealed The 18th amendment to the Federal constitution, which gave us national prohibition thirteen years ago, was repealed on last Tuesday, when Pennsylvania, Ohio, Utah and Kentucky voted in favor of the twenty-first amendment to the constitution, one more state than necessary to adopt a constitutional amendment. Up to last Tuesday 33 states had voted for repeal with none against, and as it is necessary for 36 states to act favorably to change the federal constitution, repeal became a certainty even before the result of the vote in Kentucky became known. Two states, North Carolina anil South Carolina, voted against repeal, being the only states to vote dry since the proposition was submitted to the American people for settlement at the polls.

Repeal becomes final on December 5th, which marks the time of the last state convention to ratify the votes recently recorded. Then it is up to the states to pass laws regulating or prohibiting the sale of liquor within their respective boundaries. Many states have repealed their laws on this subject, and it seems that liquor will be publicly sold without legal restraint until the legislatures convene in such states. There is going to be rhore or less chaos in the distribution of strong liquors until the states pass regulatory laws. Many of these will be experimental and will have to be amended or repealed when found impractical.

We predict that conditions are not going to be ideal for sometime, by any means, but we can not see how it can be worse than we have seen for the major part of the thirteen years operation of the "noble experiment." The Beacon-News, like the great majority of the citizens of the United States, has become dissatisfied with the operation of the national prohibiton law and is willing to risk a change which we do not believe can be worse than so-called national prohibition which peddled rotten and poisonous liquor to all classes of people, including minors, and bred the worse crime wave in the history of the nation.

RAYVILLE, OIL We have been in securing on cotton and Through in the market We will be ready your cotton. Write, wire or Monroe World of 9th. Five persons were hurt and three others escaped injury in a head-on crash of two automobiles late yesterday afternoon on DeSiard road near its intersection with the Selma.n airport road. None of the injured was reported seriously hurt. Those hurt were Mr.

and Mrs. L. J. Ethridge of Monroe, Miss Maggie Sorey, 21, of Rayvilie, and Mr. and Mrs.

J. E. Overby of Rayvilie. Mrs. J.

W. Nelson and Mr. and Mrs. Overby's small daughter. Gay, who were in the car with Miss Sorey and the Overbys, and John Loy Fluitt, 3-year-old son of Mr.

and Mrs. C. B. Fluitt, of Monroe, who was riding with Mr. and Mrs.

Ethridge, his grandparents, were not hurt. Miss Sorey suffered a laceration of the forehead. Mrs. Overby had multiple lacerations of the" right ear and complained of pain in her right shoulder. An X-ray examination of the shoulder revealed no fracture.

Mr. Overby was cut on the right side of the neck and on the right knee. Mr. and Mrs. Ethridge received almost identical injuries.

Both suffered the loss of several teeth and lacerations about the mouth. In describing the accident, Mr. Overby, who was driving one of the cars, said he was coming into Monroe when a truck stopped suddenly in front of him without signaling a stop. He was forced to pull over and drive around it, he said, and as he was passing the truck he met the other car driven by the Ethridges in a head-on collision. Ambulances were summoned- and the occupants of the car from Rayvilie were rushed to St.

Francis sanitarium. Mr. and Mrs. Ethridge received treatment in a doctor's office. Both automobiles were damaged considerably.

CAIN, SHELBY Delhi, Louisiana. Lot in Delhi, per deed Book 30, page About 300 enthusiastic and representative citizens filled the court room at Rayvilie Thursday night and organized a Richland Parish unit of the New Deal Democratic Association. Dr. C. C.

Thompson, of Delhi, was elected president; Richard Hatch, of Ward Seven, vice-president; W. D. Cotton, of Rayvilie, secretary and treasurer; Tobin R. Hodge, parish executive committeeman. Ward committeemen were elected as follows: Ward 1, Jno.

R. Golson, C. E. Wiggins; ward 2, H. W.

Whatley, W. F. Hemler; ward 3, E. S. Gaines, Herd Hardwick; ward 4, L.

B. Archibald, J. A. McCoy; ward 5, Dr. C.

E. McConnell, Alvin Brunson; ward 6, R. R. Rhymes, C. W.

ward 7, C. M. Noble, J. M. Hatch.

The chief addresses of the evening were delivered by Judge J. F. Stephens, of Coushatta, and Hon. Howard Warren, of Shreveport and Ruston. Judge Stephens was the first speaker and outlined the objects of the organization as an awakening of the citizens of the state against graft and extravagance in public affairs, which gave expression in a meeting in Min-den in the late summer when the New Deal Democratic association was formed.

He claimed excessive taxation, lack of economy and one man rule in Louisiana were casting a blight over this fair state unequalled by the corruption of the days of Reconstruction. While Judge Stephens was not an eloquent speaker, he was a rather forceful and convincing talker, and urged joining of the organization tonight. Hon. Howard Warren, former state senator from Lincoln parish and a lawyer and public speaker of wide reputation, delivered a powerful address. He predicted the state headed for bankruptcy unless the present system is curbed.

He claimed this could be done by a popular uprising of the people. The legislature would be forced to harken to the voice of an outraged people, if the appeal was made in strong and unmistakable language and backed by sufficient numbers of the burdened taxpayers. He made the charge that all the cot ton raised in any one year sold at 20 cents per pound would not be adequate to pay the costs of state government, which he estimated at $80,000,000.00. His remedy was economy in state government. Senator Warren took to task Louisiana's senior senator for criticising President Roosevelt, and ridiculed the present governor for being 'subject to the dictation of Senator Long.

Following the principal addresses W. D. Cotton, chairman of the meeting, introduced Dr. Harrison Jordan, former representative of Richland parish, as chairman of the nominating committee. Dr.

Jordan made a brief address and presented the names of the officers as outlined in the beginning of this article, who were unanimously elected. Dr. C. C. Thompson, the newly elected president, addressed the meeting, calling upon the people who had signed the cards and enlisted as members of the New Deal Democratic association to go home as missionaries and preach the gospel of a change in state government.

He warned them not to let their enthusiasm die after leaving the meeting, and pledged his best efforts toward carrying out the objects and purposes of the organization. WOMAN'S MISSIONARY SOCIETY OF MANGHAM The Woman's Missionary Society of the M. E. Church at Mangham met at the church November 6th and held their week-of-prayer service.

Reward of $10.00 for return to MRS. E. F. JUSTICE, Rayvilie, La. On this fifteenth anniversary of the ending of the World War the nation mourns her soldiers dead, honors her soldiers living, and with face resolutely to the future voices rededica-tion to the ideals of peace.

In this observance there is no glorification of war. There is, indeed, little of the celebration of victory. There is much sober realization of the cost of it all find a grim determination that it shall not come to another generation through fault or omission of ours. Yet, do. we realize the full burden that we bear? It is not enough that we have the will for peace.

It is not enough that we refrain from any act that might invite war. We must do mightily for peace. Else all our hope and desire and longing are in vain. It profits us little if we merely preach valiantly for peace, or shed a tear as the flag goes by. Let us have the fighting courage to face the issues of the day as they come before us, and do our bit toward guiding national destinies in the path of constructive service.

War or peace is determined by the course of governments. And the course o'f governments is determined in the long run by the expressed opinion of the people. A people eager for peace with honor will not unjustly be plunged into war. What can we, the people, do for peace Think well of our neighbors. Give the stranger the benefit of the doubt, even though he speak a different language.

And call, his God by another name. Be patient of misunderstanding. Be proud, but intolerant of swash-buckling conceit. Realize that a big nation must play a big part and play it nobly. Let this Armistics Day be a day of plainer comprehension of the old vision, a day of rededication to the old ideals, a day of rebaptism in the old courage.

TO WAIT OOMEONE is ill get the doctor at ence no time to that is when you want a telephone. You want to talk with a friend across town or in another city and that is when the telephone serves you well After all, life is made up of major and lesser incidents like these when you need to speak to someone, or they want to call you. If you try to determine the value of telephone service, a good way it might be measured is by its protection in emergencies when a swift summons must be sent to the doctor, the police, the fire department. Or its value may be summed up in the many little errands it runs for you every day. But whatever the yardstick, most folks agree the value of telephone service is so great and the cost so reasonable that it really doesn't pay to try to do without it.

Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company Incorporated) Farm Credit Facilities Are Greatly Improved Last week announcement was made of the plan to provide the farmers in the New Orleans land bank district with the best line of agricultural credit that they have ever had. The Farm Credit Administration has now established four banks in New Orleans to serve this district. The Land Bank and the Intermediate Credit Bank will have two new banks in the field with them, these being the Production Credit Corporation and the Bank for Cooperatives. Services of the two older branches of the organization will be expanded and their efficiency greatly increased. The new production financing agency will make possible the establishment of a line of production credit for farmers who band themselves into small local associations for this purpose.

The cooperatives are to have a bank which will be in a position to finance their operations either on a large or small scale. In addition to these agencies there is the fifth branch of the service now operating which is the regional credit corporations. These will eventually have their operatives absorbed by the new production credit bank. The government does not loan government money direct to farmers in these various banks, but it does aim to help farmers to help themselves in establishing the line of credit which they need to carry on their work.

The greatest obstacle business is struggling against now is taxation.

And taxation, as a result, is the principal barrier in the way of achieving the fullest success for the recovery plans that are now in operation. No business can spend money it hasn't got. No business can put more men on its pay rolls when it is having a hard time bringing in enough revenue to meet existing demands. No business can expand with profitless balance sheets. It's a moot point as to how great an influence taxation was in prolonging and deepening depression.

But it was, to say the least, considerable. When the national income touched the lowest point in decades, the cost of government like Everest out of the plains of Tibet. To regain governmental it is not necessary to curtail or damage necessary governmental functions -it simply means that the waste, inefficiency and duplication of effort that is actually harmful to legitimate governmental work, must be eliminated. In some cases a start has been made, and the taxpayers have been saved millions as in the post office department, which is breaking even for the first time in many years. But the work has barely begun.

Reasonable taxation is the friend of recovery, of employment and higher wage scales, and individual and corporate prosperity. That must not be forgotten. (Office next to Fischel Waite).
