The swinging pendulum of fashion
has again brought the bicycle into
vogue, although questions of style and
popularity do not greatly concern the
younger generation of cyclers. While
more wheels for little folks have been
sold lately than was the case in years.
the market for juvenile bicycles has
never fiattened out; rather, to use a
commercial term, it has always been
quoted strong and firm"
The fact is, a bicycle is an essential
part of Youngsters belongings, and
cannot be ignored in the process Of
properly bringing him up" There is
one very good reason for the sustained
sale of juvenile bicycles, which is IL
lustrated in the story of a captious
mother in toy shop.
Don't you ever have any new kinds
of toys?" she asked.
NO" was the polite reply. there
no great novelty in the toy line. but
the babies, they are always new"
New Wheels for New Riders.
And so the bicycle manufacturers,
in providing for the never ceasing
army of youthful bicycle recruits,
have been busy every year, and This
year seem buster than ever. Bicycics
are in good form as Christian gifts,
they are delights when vacation time
turns loose a myriad of young scho!-
ars, and in every season of the year a
healthy, hearty boy or girl finds plcn-
Ly of reasons for keeping a bicycle in
commission.
And in all seriousness, the yolnes-
ter who does not own a wheel. misses
a lot out of life. Without this com
Danion, the boy is barred from many
forms of sport which wheel owners
enjoy, and the girl, who should have
every incentive to indulge in sane and
healthful exercise, is greatly unier a

THE SITUATION.

Belgrade, October 10.-In spite of
warnings to King Peter from Great
Britain and France that the people
of Servia be kept in check, the popu-
lace of Belgrade held demonstrations
yesterday and demanded the resigna-
tion of the cabinet and also the abdica-
tion of King Peter unless he declared
war against Austria-Hungary, which
has refused to accept Servia's protest
against the annexation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina. Ten thousand Austro-
Hungarian troops are garrisoned along
the Drina river, between Bosnia and
Servia, ready for eventualities; and it
is said 100000 men can be thrown into
Servian territory in twenty-four hours.

Circulars Being Sent Out From Kos

Are Trying to Find Way to Stop

Daily News Special.

Daily News Special.
Jackson, Miss, October 10.-Indi-
cations that a rate war has been
waged by the Cumberland Telephone
and Telegraph Company, with the
probable purpose of driving the small
er companies out of its territory in
this state, comes from Attala County,
where an attorney for one of the
small Independent companies operat-
ing in Kosciusko and surrounding ter
ritory, will probably bring suit
against them if his suspicious that
they are violating the state laws can
be verified.
1t appears that the Cumberland
Company has been circulating a cir
cular in Attala County. proposing to
connect with rural lines, within a mile
and a half of Kosciusko, maintain the
line without charge, and enter into
contract for three years to furnish SER
vice at 50 per year or Sc for the
three years, without compelling them
to use any other equipment than that
which they now have. The part Of the
circular to which exceptions are taken,
and in which the attorney thinks he
finds a mares meet" is a clause
which reads:
I'm the event that you have ad-
vanced payment with some other COM
pany operating in Kosciusko-allow
You service free of charge for such
time as you have paid such other COM
pany."
On the surface 1t appears to be
real rate-cutting war. with the odds
very much in favor of the Cumberland
Company winning. unless the attorney
in question succeeds in finding the
point in which the law is being vio-
lated Obviously the smaller company
could not afford to meet so low a rate,
and in three years would likely be out
of business. unless the citizens should
decide to stick to the little concern. a
thing which the people, as a rule. have
not been in the habit OF doing under
such circumstances. in the past.
