It will b to your advantage to pay your City Taxes now or before January 1, 1943. If you do this you can make the deduc tion in your income tax return, and thereby save your self considerable money. DAVID HINSON City Tax Collector If Your Property is worth Insuring against Fire it is worth ram AGAINST AIR RAIDS do you know that your fire insurance policies do not protect you against loss if your property is destroyed or damaged by air raids? that you can now buy War Damage Insurance that does protect you against loss resulting from enemy attack, Including any action taken by our military, naval or air forces in resisting enemy attack. that War Damage Insurance is issued by the War Damage Corporation, an agency of the Federal Govern ment which operates in cooperation with leading fire insurance companies and their agents and brokers. that War Damage Insurance is so priced that you cannot afford to be without it? For example, the rate for dwellings and contents is only 10 per $100 of in surance per year. but you cannot obtain War Damage Corporation Insurance against raid damage after it occurs. For this reason, we suggest telephoning or writing today for par ticulars on this important new type of insurance. Monroe Insurance Exchange (Incorporated) American Insurance Agency N. M.

The Hessians lost the battle of Trenton when our brave soldiers surprised them in their feast lng and drinking. Professor Hans Schmidt of Halle University, Germany, reports that the conquering spearhead against Paris in March of 1918 was broken because the French left great quantities of alcoholic drink in the path of the Germans. Suppose the enemy would come to Monroe on Sat urday eveening at 11:00 o'clock? We know that victory and drink can't go together. Yet, we continue to receive revenue from the sale of the stuff which Is becoming "America's most dangerous saboteur." Still, we hear Secretary Knox Insisting that the men of the Navy must not be denied their boose, and Secretary Stlmson pro claiming the. same. How patriotic are we? We remain in business until mid night and later to allow our soldiers to dissipate their much needed strength. Consequently, we see boys staggering down the street, and often a woman upheld by others. Some of us are out to make all we can off the soldiers, when we should be giving them all we can.

A MESSAGE TO MONROE Editor F.nnnirpr Upon a recent visit to your city, I' "p " wneu we arc pam in mu. selves in while they are here. Especi ally hlnHlnnr la nut nhll na t ! clnso 1 Q I and 19 vear old vout.hs havp heen I drafted. I am not a prophet, but it Is easy, to see that unless Monroe awakens, I spiritual and moral ruin awaits her. I Gains made in years pass will be lost. I Mothers and fathers are going to be sorry and weep. Young men and young women are going to loose their purity and respect. Our greed of money and pleasure is going to eat our very souls out. Our Lord said: "What shall it profit man to gain the whole world and loose his soul?" Again He said: "A man's life conslsteth not in the abundance of things he posses sed." Must we learn our lesson the hard way? "The wages of sin is death," and Monroe Is already re ceiving her first pay check But God was impressed by the sin and immo rality that rages there. You seem to be possessed with a hunger for pleas ure and material gain that staggers a one time local boy, who once knew you as a quiet, homely little southern city. Now you have "tried to become are sowing to the flesh and we shall of the flesh reap corruption. "The way of the transgressor is hard." The Master stands as of old, over Mon roe and says: "Oh! Monroe, O! Mon roe, how often would I have gathered you unto myself but you would not." a large city over night," so to speak, Today He is weeping again over our and in your "growth" and so-called "prosperity" you have lost your grip i upon things that are eternal, that Igive lige meaning Peace, Joy, Hap I pinerr and God. I As I walked up your streets on Fri city as He did over Jerusalem long ago. All of us should heed Boake Carter's warning as to the outcomlng of our struggle when he said, "The United Nations will be successful only when all chances of success seem to day and Saturday evenings, I askedlhave gone. Their triumph will come mvself this miMt.inn- "Tust hm r.a-lhen they recognize certain funda- triotic is Monroe?" It has plenty of j mental truths, and reestablish then- talk and noise, but do we really mean "B"ul"" buiu mui v.uc business with our nation. How pa triotic are we when we place wine and beer stores on every hand so our soldier boys will have plenty to drink? In my opinion, to sell a sol- jdier a bottle of beer or wine is the greatest stroke you could make against national morale and in behalf of Hitlerism. The booze crowd is in league, unconsciously perhaps, with the Axis powers, because every drink makes a man a poorer' soldier and enhances the possibilities of an Axis victory. You had better remember Pearl Harbor and France. Prance marched on in her revelry, rloutous spending and drunkenness until the hour of her fall." Some of the wildest parties and most expensive balls and banquets were staged In France by the "higher-ups" in society and gov ernment on the very eve of the fall of France. Rome was not defeated by the Goths, Huns and Vandals from the North, but she was drowned in her own booze vats.

We should as a city repent as did Nineveh at the feet of God. Then we may expect divine blessings to come to us. You will be truly patriotic if you do something about this situation. You can write your senators and repre sentatives and command them to act. You can use your influence here at home. You can vote against alcohol in any form when you get a chance. You who are church members and ministers can talk and preach. We must move In unity! The courage of Frances E. Wlllard should be ours when she said: "I am but one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. What I can do I ought to do, and what I ought to do by the grace of God I will do!" Shame on us if we do nothing and God pity us in years to come!
