| Jackson, Miss, June 10 After running for more
han two months, the "Cleanest Town" contest which
Was staged IN Mississippi during the months of April and
May and during the last week in March, has been decd-
ed according to Dr. Willis Valley State sanitary inspec
tor who has acted official umpire referee Doubt
less there will be surprises and disappontments
the final awards but in event of this kind which was
statewide in its nature and in which such excellent gen
era results have been obtained such outcome was in
evitable.
According the official reports Greenwood the wide
awake and thriving Queen City of the Delta wins the
first prize for towns in the first Glass; with Biloxi second
and Greenville third
In this second Glass; or towns having population of
between $500 and 7500 West Point arrived ahead of its
competitors, Grenada second and Brookhaven third
Magnolia seems to have captured the decision not
only the leading clean town in the third class but as
stated in the official made today. cit may be
truly said that Magnolia perhaps the ceanest town in
Mississippi This was in way surprise to those who
have been looking and who noted the systematic way
IN which the Magnolians had gone about it. In this d.
vision Winona in Montgomery county, and Bonneville in
Prentiss County, second and third respectively.
. In fourth group, town from 500 to 1000 nhabi-
tants Magee in Simpson county, emerges at the head;
FernWood Pike county, second and Clinton Kinds county,
third.
The awarding committee, composed of Mrs. j. H.
Fox Of the health committee of the Federation of the Wo
mems Clubs DR. w. S. Leathers director of hygiene and
sanitation and Dr. Valley, has operated comprehensive
summary, which will be Of general interest.

centennial anniversary OF the battle
of Waterloo, Field Marshal Sir John
French, the British commander visit
ed a cavalry division not long out OF
the trenches. BY brigades those who
had survived the shells ana asphyxiat-
ing gas OF the second battle of Ypres
were awaiting his coming in a field
near their headquarters, their khaki
melting into the green of the grass
where they lay resting and bathing
themselves in the genial sun of a mild
June day.
When an automobile appeared with
the little British flag which only the
commander-in- chiefs ear flies they
formed hollow square. The absolute
simplicity Of this meeting of leader
and men and the thought Of all they
went through, made the scene a most
affecting one. the sturdy white haired
soldier carrying the customary walk
ing stick which every British officer
affects with a little blaze of colOrs OF
his many campaigns on his breast.
The general stood in the center of
the square before the Tenth Hussars
once his own regiment, and before the
famous First life guards whose sem
tries, in shiny cuirrasses and plumed
helmets at Whitehall attract tourists,
now tanned trench hardened warriors
en- foot, with no brass except the regi-
rental insignia on their shoulders.
With them were other regiments who
had Won glory at Waterloo.
Sir John did not make a speech
but spoke as soldier to soldier, hesi-
tating for words at times in his emo
ton. The men were actually seeing
their commandcr-in-c hief, who in the
complicated immensely of modern
warfare is only a name To them.
While Wellington personally en-
couraged his soldiers in battle CEN

more courage, to stand for many days
in the trenches than to. make one

over your trenches gasping. blinded
