The First Baptist Church of
Cooper extends an invitation to
other members of churches in
Cooper and community to join its
members in opening the doors of
their homes to men in uniform on
Mother’s day.
How would you feel as a par-
ent to have your son write home
to tell you what a wonderful
time he spent in a hospitable
home on Mother’s day? The
mothers of the solu'ers you may
invite into your home will be as
happy to learn that her son was
welcomed into your home.
We realize that this is a very
small part we can do for our
country, but it is a very worthy
one./Little do we know how much
service men appreciate cafurte-
sies such as this.
Those of you who are intei-est-
ed in having some of these men
tact your committee as to the
in your home are urged to con-
number and whether or not you
will invite them for Saturday
night and Sunday or Sunday

opportunity most of Them h
had to see one of these fog*
motored bombers when the fam-

The Suzie-Q was scheduled t»

Commerce 4:07, and Grqenvil*;
4.17. It was about ten minute*
late m reaching Cooper. It came
in from the north at house top
level and was nearly over the
business district before it was
seen by the large crowd assemb-
ed on the square. It circled
twice before leaving for the
Southwest. It was accompnaied
by two escort fighter planes
which were flying at a greater
altitude.
This plane was flown by Major
Robert VV. Sanford of the 5th
berrying Group of the U S
army air forces.
Bombers like the . uzie-Q cost
$300,000—and that means plenty

War Casualty Total
Is Put At 78,235.
WASHINGTON, April 24—
The Office of War Information
announced Saturday a war cas-
ualty total of 78,235. This fig-
ure, representing an increase of
12,855 since the last OWI report
February 20, apparently did not
include some of the most recent
Tunisian losses. The figures were
only for casualties whose next of
kin have been notified.
The latest list included 12,123
dead, 15,049 wounded, 40,435
missiong and 10628 prisoners.
Army casualties totaled 53,309,
including 4i970 killed, 10,384
wounded. 271,321 jnissing and
10,628 prisoners of war. Of the
wounded, 1,058 have returned to
active duty.
Navy casualties total 24,926,
made up of 7,147 dead, 4,665
wounded and 13,114 missing.
OWI Director Elmer Davis ex-
pressed belief “the Tunisian op-
erations all told have probably

by the end of 1941 and the rate
since then is accelerating into
“tens of billions of dollars per
year.” It added:
“Not only has wealth, accumu-
lated over centuries, been carried
back to Germany, but the in-
dustries, natural resources, and
labor power of the occupied
countries are under absolute Ger-
man domination."
Its reports, the board said,
show that armaments and other
military equipment/ have been
'taken from all the vanquished
armies of Europe.
“Thousands of machines have
have been dismounted and mov-
ed to Germany, with laboratory
and scientific equipment from the
greatest institutes in Europe,”
the board reported. “Horses, cat-
tle, sheep, pigs and fats have
been confiscated, public galleries
and private collections stri| ped
of art objects, and office furni-
ture, park benches, and garden
tools taken.”
Describing Poland as the out-
standing example of confiscation
of public property, the board
estimated the loot there at $2,-
900,000,000.
Military equipment from Aus-
tria and Czeoho-Slovakia was
traded to southeastern Europe
countries for foodstuffs and raw
materials, the report said, hut
was recovered later when Ger-
many invaded those countries.
“Considerable juantities of rel-
atively obsolete equipment were
sold to Japan,” the hoard added
“In trading: with occupied
countries Germany takes as much
as she can get, defers payment
whenever possible,’’ the hoard ex-
plained. “Where the occupation
costs are sufficiently high, for
example, France and Norway,
clearing debts are wiped out by
the credit balances at the dis-
posal of Germany; in other cases
the Nazis simply regard this
mounting debt as long-term, in-
terest free loans from the credi-
tor countries.”

stated that these bonds were pur-
chased from the accumulation*
of earnings from the association.
In addition to the purchasing
of these bonds for the associa-
tion, our members are buying
bonds individually, and in work-
ing out financing plans with the
members for the year the asso-
ciation is encouraging every fam-
ily to include war bonds. Mr.
Spencer said that farmers and
stockmen are “trying to produce
their maximum amount of food
and feed and also to arrange
their operations so khat they can
nut every possible dollar into war
bonds.” This helps finance the
war and build a reserve for the
family. J. A. Harrison is a repre-
sentative of the association in

The annual meeting of Delta
County Farmers Association was
held in the district court room
Saturday morning.
The Association, which oper-
ates Cooper Cotton Yard, made
very little profit the past year
nd no dividend was paid again.
This Association has always paid
until last year, the firrft time it
has failed to pay a dividend
s'nce it was organized in 1904.
Secretary and manager Henry
Chesriut reported little more
than nine thousand bales handled,
and with inexperienced labor and
higher prices for it, little profit
was possible. Necessity for rais-

ed.
