she had dreamed it would slop
some day in front of her little
count r farm-house near here. She
had been watching it from her bed
room window every night for
year's. wliiinu by at 71) miles an
hour.
A train crew whose hearts she
won by waving to them from a
v hccl- hail- will put 1 4- car-old
Minnie Hose Webb ; hoard to lake
her to St l.ouis. where she will
enter Shrine llosiptiil for Crippled

About midnight tonieht the

ill one of the luxurious coaches
of the Illinois Central Limited.
Imperial Welcome
Imperial Shrine Potentate Wil

Almost all of Tipton County's

ney. John McNain.oa of Memphis.
Term., a IreL.hi tiaiu conductor,
was one of tin- first trainmen to
isit the little tenant house occu
pied by Minnie i!o-e and her par
ents. Mr. and Mrs. .I::,e Webb.
McNamar.i had seen 1he little
pirl sittinfi on the porch of her
home almost every time his train
passed. So one dav he slopped hi-'
train in front of her house and
went to iist Minnie Hose. Her
parents received him and told him
why their little daughter was an
invalid.
Minnie Ro.-e underwent an ap
pendectomy about three years ago.
Mrs. Webb related, and was given
a spinal anesthesia. She never re
covered from the operation and
was paralysed Irom the waist
down.
Cheered by the ritTs daily greet
ing and believing her a child
worthy of belter things. McN'amara
persuaded other trainmen to join
him in buying Minnie Hose a
wheelchair.
One day a freight train came to
an unscheduled top before her
home fo deliver the wheelchair:
and. since then, tin- little girl had
sat in the chair lo bail the passing
trainmen.
McNamara was not satisfied with
the litlle he had done and wanted
to go further. lie began collect
ing money from his fellow train
men, and. in a short time, he had
accumulated $137 which he used
to pay her expenses to St. Louis.
Her daily greetings will be
missed by McN'amara and other
trainmen, but when Minnie Rose
returns they hope she will be able
to run to the tracks to greet them,
slowly dropping her waving arm
as the caboose moves out of sight,
like other kids do.

California Group
Urge Saving Oi
Rubber Project,
SAN FRANCISCO A Federal
proposal that a $45,000,000 Guayute
rubber production enterprise in
California be destroyed was pro
tested last week by the California
Farm Bureau Federation.
The Federation's board of di
rectors described the proposed
destruction as "wanton waste of
government property at a time
when the nation is suffering from
a rubber shortage."
"At the request of the Federal
government." declared Ray A.
Wiser, federation president, "the
farmers patriotically turned their
best land, needed for growing food
crops, to the production of guayule.
"The Federal government con
strutted the processing plants. The
manufacturing process is simple
and cheap. Now the government
vaiU- lo write off its investment
of S4.V000, 000 its a c .rvplete loss
to 'lie taxpayer."
The federation proposed the
leased land be turned back with
the shrubs intact, so that a "row
ers' cooperative could be formed
to lease government processing
mils and continue production.
The organization also asked that
the government agree either to
purchase guayule rubber from the
growers' cooperative at the same
price now being paid for Mexican
rubber, or eliminate the ceiling
price on the domestic product.

Canton ftigh School Plans To Honor
Students Who Served In World War
Plans have been completed by
the Canton high school for estab
lishing a memorial to former rtu
I dents who serVed in the recent war.
j The entire athletic field will be
' completed according to the pre-
vious plans, and the field will be
beautified by some regrading and
planting of Norwny Spruce.
The field and stadium will be
dedicated as a memorial for the
more than 900 boys and girls who
have enlisted in the service. In
addition to the general memorial,
individual memorials for each of
the more than twenty boys who
died in service, will be included.
For this memorial a Norway
Spruce will be planted for each
boy and in front of each tree, a
concrete shaft will be placed on
which there will be a bronze plaque
with appropriate information about
the man.
These individual memorials will
be in a tree line that extends along
the north side of the athletic field
at right angles to the field and
along the east side along the river
front and parallel to the field.
To establish these individual me
morials there will be an expendi
ture of approximately $25 per unit.
It is desired that these memorials
be iinsollcited, and free will gifts
of the people of Canton area. An
individual may contribute enough
to cover the cost of a complete
memorial or he may give any
smaller amount. There will be
more than twenty memorials.
The committee has in hand in
formation regarding 22 boys to be
honored and if any one has the
name of any student who has ever
enrolled at the Canton high school
who died in the service other than
those on the list, they are asked to

tendent of the school. Farnk

.When you continue to spend more than

Spends your dollars.
'Government should begin now
to live within its means
During the war government necessarily
spent huge sums of money. Yet, with the
war over, the government plans to spend
four times as much in the coming year
as it spent in the highest pre-war year.
Most thoughtful people believe that gov
ernment expenditures are now far greater
than they need be.
They believe that government, like a
family, should live within its means . . .
that it should not spend more than it takes
in . . . that it should not keep on going
deeper into debt,

Yet flint is exactly what's happening to.
day. Our government is spending billions
more than it takes in. And it continues to
borrow to make up the difference.
This is the kind of money-handling that
causes inflation.
Economy in government means
money in your pocket
If the American people through Con
gress will reduce government spending
and take steps to encourage production,
inflation will be stopped . . . and this is the
only way it can be stopped.
Write your representatives in Congress
today.
Urge them to cut the cost of government,
eliminating all waste ... all unnecessary
services . . . and postponing all expendi
tures that can be put off until our war bills
have been paid.
.Urge them to make the government start
living within its means ... at a level that
you and your neighbors can afford to pay.
