Ole Miss Indefinitely
Suspended From S. |. A. A.

New Orleans, Dec. 16.--Indefinite
suspension OF Mississippi University
from the Southern intercollegiate Ath-
letic Association was the subject of in.
terest Saturday at the annual meeting
of the association. This action on the
part of the delegates from the leading
educational institutions of the South
was not unexpected. Suspension of cole
Miss" came as the result of her re-
fusal to play the annual Thanksgiv-
ing day game with Mississippi A. & NJ.
College, because the University of
Mississippi eleven included Fletcher,
star quarter back and main stay Of
the lineup, an athlete barred early in
the season by the S. l. A. A. authori-
ties, but who continued to play at the
request of "Ole Miss" faculty.
When the Mississippi A. & M. proved
him to be ineligible under S. l. A. A.
rules and demanded that he be kept
out of the prospective game for the
state championship, Mississippi de-
clined and even the members of the
team refused to play without Fletcher
in the lineup.
An investigation by the executive
committee of the S. 1. A. A. showed
that the chancellor of the University
of Mississippi defended the actions of
the offending athletic authorities and
thew the weight of his influence
against the effort to purify athletics at
the university"

ence how chickens are fed, so long as
the fat is laid on in proper quantities
and with right distribution.
The bird should be killed by a knife
blade piercing the brain, as this pro-
notes free bleeding. 1t should be
hung up by the feet, head down, and
plucked before it becomes cold. Poul-
try buyers prefer chickens that have
about two inches of feathers adjoin-
ing the head.
After being plucked, the bird
should be placed on a shaping board,
the weight on top, to give it a COM
pact appearance. Never allow chick
ems to remain hanging by the legs
after being plucked, as it gives them
a thin and leggy appearance.

FIGHTING PREACHER.
Ey a. w. MACY.

BY A. w. MACY.
In 1872 Rev. John Peter Cab
rleI MuhIenbers took charge Of
the little Lutheran church at
Woodstock, Virginia, and for
three years attended faithfully
to his pastoral duties. During
that time, however, the revoIu-
tlonary rumbIings became
louder and louder, and the
preacher became moro and
more Interested In the burning
question of independence. Fin
ally, one Sabbath morning, ne
delivered an impressive dis
course on patriotism, and dweIt
at length on the duty of all
good citizens to uphold their
country in the hour of need.
At the close he exclaimed In a
voice like trumpet, There Is
a time for all things; a time
to preach and a time to fight,
and now Is tho time to tight."
Then throwing off hls sacerdotaI
gown he stood before his as
tonlshed congregation in the
full regimentaI dress Of Vlr-
einia colonel. He ordered the
drums to be beaten at the
church door for rscruits, and on
that day nearly 500 men en-
listed, Including almost every
able-bodled man Of his congre-
cation. He Was made colonel
of the Eighth Virginia regiment,
afterwards became a ma or-een-
eral, and gave proof OF his
bravery on many a hard-fought
battlefield.

WHISKY WEATHER IS BLAMED
Decrease in Consumption of Beer At tributed to Season by Model

Gilmore, president of the National Model Liquor League, in discussing the preliminary report of the United States commissioner of internal rev enue. This showed a substantial in crease in consumption of distilled spirits and decrease of over a million barrels of beer in the amount con sumed during the fiscal year ending June 30
 With many" he said, beer is a warm-weather beverage, and the long cold winter, chilly spring and rainy summer easily account for the falling off in the use of beer. Park attend ance has fallen off enormously"
