Warship disposal debate and local mail route plan
The discussion on sinking German warships is dismissed as absurd. If disposal fails, convert ships to junk to aid Germany’s indemnity. A direct Oxford to Etta rural mail route is urged to relieve farmers’ delays and counter Eagle readers’ claim of Chicago papers being faster. The Eagle promises county candidate lists with a Lee M. Russell vs Oscar G. Johnston race noted. The League of Nations is mentioned as a potential need.

Congressional finish and Mississippi politics in view
Next Tuesday March 4 ends the sixty fifth Congress and new senators and representatives take seats and oath.

The Atlantic may influence Mississippi gubernatorial politics this year, likely a watered-down issue. Oxford voters face a bond issue to sink a new well this Monday, with the public to decide. South has spent thousands to support ministry for soldiers, with Y M C A and church-backed work aiding boys in khaki and camps across the region.
