J. N. Holman, who has been duly ap-
pointed and authorized to recruit and
organize a cavalry company in Noxubee
county reports fair success, but lacks
twenty-five or thirty men to complete
the unit. To insure the success of the
venture, he has asked the aid of all
citizens who desire to see Noxubee
county represented in the great strug-
gle for right, freedom and democracy.
Answering this appeal, rallies have
been planned to be held all over the
county, and prominent speakers urge
the boys to enlist before the draft day
comes around. These rallies have al
ready been held at Shuqualak, Mashu-
laville and Brooksville where results
have been attained. Saturday, grand
rally will be held in Macon, and it is to
be hoped that the unit will be filled in.
and made ready for the mastering
officer.
Dot Pruit made try at the navy a
short time ago when the naval recruit
ing officer was in Macon, but was found
a few pounds under weight, being de-
termined to serve his country and his
fellow man, he will leave next week
for Oklahoma and do his bit in try
ing to reduce the cost of flour by
assisting in the harvest of the
wheat crop. He has been plowing and
digging several hours each day for two
weeks in his garden at home getting
his muscles ready for the hard work ne
realizes is before him. He will find
the July Kansasas sun much hotter
than he ever saw it in Mississippi.
Dots no pix er or Stacker and will pro-
baby join the army or navy by the time
he reaches his majority.

count of eye sight. If he fails to get

BEHAVIOR, NOT CLOTHES,
WHAT COUNTS IN CHICAGO
Judge Won't Fine Fair Bather in Scant
Costume, Found on
Street

CHICAGO, July 17.-Bathing suit prlvi-
leges will not be restricted to the beaches
while Judge Hayes lays down the law The
Judge, in dismlssing a charge against Miss
Katharine Simauek, who was arrested near
Manhattan Beach, declared that scantiness
Of clothing was not in itself SUFFICIENT rea-
son for arresting persons in the street
Streets and sidewalks are public prop
erty, and citizens have the right to walk
on them whether they wear skirts, panta-
looms or bathing suits" Judge Hayes de-
clared. "As long as their behavior is proper
they cannot be denied the freedom of the
thoroughfare."
Miss Simauek's arrest followed the issu-
ance of an order by Chief of Police Schet-
tier last Friday instructing commanding
officers to enforce regulations which Chief
Healey promulgated last year, prohibiting
persons in bathing suits from wandering
away from the beaches wearing only those
costumes.
Police regulations are not law" the
Judge said, land 1 don't intend TO assess
fines for violation OF them. There Is no
city ordinance specifying the amount OF
clothing person shall wear on the street.
II the police expect to enforce their rule
they will have TO get a statute on the books
embodying it. Behavior, not clothes
counts"
