In announcing the decision, JUS

otherwise the ports of this country
might, in case of a war such as is
now in progress, be filled with the
captured prizes Of one or the other
belligerents, 'in utter violation of
the principles of neutral obligations
which have controlled this country
from the beginning"
The courts decision, it was an
nounced, "rests upon the authority
of the courts of the United States
to make restrictions to private
owners for violations of neutrality
where offending vessels are within
our jurisdiction, thus vindicating
our rights and obligations as a neu-

LIDS ARE HICHER-NOT
IN STYLE BUT IN PRICE

Merchants who opened their mail
! here this morning found another ad-
vance in a standard brand of hats,
amounting from two to three dollars
per dozen, this hat formerly retailed
at three dollars and fifty cents, the
price of which must now be advanc-
ed to four dollars and fifty cents,
as the wholesale price has advanced
four dollars and twenty cents cents
per dozen in the past twelve months.
Merchants report general advances
in all lines of merchandise. It is not
only in the grocery and provision
market, that these sharp advances
are recorded Talking to a promi-
nent merchant this morning, it was
said that on nearly every staple ar
ticle of merchandise, there has been
unprecedented advances recorded.
The salesman travelling the road to-
day will tell you, that it is no ef-
fort to sell goods, it is matter Of
delivering the goods" which many
are unable to do, owing to scarcity
of goods, and transportation fac
ilities, are anything but encourag-
ing, to the trade in general. Neck
wear has advanced. from rs cents to
1926 per dozen, twenty-five and
fifty cents neckwcar will soon be
off the market. Fifty cent under
wear is thing Of the past with
very few exceptions. Ladies goods
have advanced in every particular
one to three dollars per pair Many
are eliminate. There are no
more bargains to be had. Goods Of
good quality must bring good prices.
Conditions demand it, say the man
afacturers, and it is in this state Of
mind, that the business world is
dealing with one another these days.

MORGAN CITY STUDENTS AT
WARD-BELMONT TAKE TRIP
TO EAST.
Itinerary Included Presidential
Inauguration, and Visits to New
York City, Niagara Fall. and
Other Cities.

The Ward-Belmont Hyphen of
March End published at Nashville,
Tnn., gives an interesting account
of an educational tour to the east bv
$50 students of that college. Nor
gan City was represented on this
big trip by three of her fairest
daughters, Miss Ruth Moncreif,
Miss Leah Norman and Miss Leta
Prohaska. These young ladies,
members of prominent families
here, are attending the excellent
Ward Belmont School this session.
The many friends of these young la
dies will be glad to read the follow
ing interesting account of the tour
in ghich Misses Moncrief, Norman
and Prohaska participated:
Following the custom of both Bel
mont College and Ward Seminary
for many years, an educational tour
to the inauguration has been ar
ranged, the party consisting of $50
students, leaving Wednesday night
on special train of six Pullmans
and diners.
The itinerary will be Natural
Bridge, Va, Luray Carerns, Va,
Washington, D. c., Buffalo, Mia
CARA Falls, New York, Norfolk,
Portsmouth, Virginia Beach, Chat
tanooga. Natural Bridge and Luray
Caverns have always been full of
keenest interest. During the five
days in Washington, Mt. Vernon,
Arlington and Fort Meyer will be
visited, as well as the many places
of unbounded interest in the Nation
al Capital. The day in Niagara will
afford an opportunity of seeing the
falls from many points, and of a
three-hour trolley ride down the
Niagara River over the famous
Gorge Route. The three days in New
York will be spent to the best pos
sible advantage. The "Seeing New
York" automobile tour will give a
splendid initial idea Of this great
metropolis and contribute much to
various excursions to points of in
terest later. The ocean voyage will
prove to be rare experience to
those who take it for the first time,
and enjoyable and beneficial to all.
The day in Norfolk and vicinity will
give an admirable opportunity of
seeing Fortress Monroe, the old
cemetery and naval yard, and Of en-
joying an oyster roast at Cape
Henry.
A sufficient number of chaperons
will be provided to conduct the
party with every comfort and con-
venience. The best hotels have been
selected and arrangements have
been made for delightful meals on
the dining cars.
School work will proceed as usual
and loss Of time on this occasion is
warranted only by the visit to the
National Capital and the high edu-
cational value of the whole trip.

THE BEST IN MOVIES
Both Houses Had Pictures Yester.
da That Could Hardly Be linz
proved Upon. Triangle and
Paramount

Whether you went to the Evange-
line or the Arcade theater yester-
day you no doubt saw one of the
very best pictures of the year. Both
shows had their regular program
and the shows were not advertised
any more than usual, but the pic
lures were certainly better than u.s.
ual. The Evangeline had dainty
Marguerite Clark in "Miss George
Washington" clever comedy
which probably suited the pretty lit
tie star better than any role she has
had recently. The audience enjoyed
every moment Of the five reels.
At The Arcade, winsome Norma
Talmadge was shown in "Fifty-
Fifty" a Triangle drama of Bohe-
mia in New York. While this picture
was just the opposite of "Miss
George Washington" it was equally
as good an offering, a play dealing
with home life and Bohemia and the
other woman. The acting and direct
ing was of the usual high class Tri-
angle standard.
The fun piece at the Evangeline
was the "Katzenjammer Kids" and
the Chinese Cook, one reel car
toon which brought the kids almost
to their feet. The Arcade had a
Keystone comedy in two parts with
some of the best stunts yet pulled by
Mack Sennet's daring band. "Safe-
ty First Ambrose" was the monick,
er of the piece which included the
riding of bronc upstairs and driv.
ing off the roof, and the jumping
from the horses to the observation
car by the bold bad bandits when
being pursued.
