FULTON. Mo-. Nov. 27.-With the
Missouri-Kansas game cancelled the
annual Thanksgiving Day football bat
tie between Westminster College of
this city and Central College OF Fay
cite, which will be played in the latter
city, now looms up as the big game for
Missouri rooters Additional interest
was injected into the affair this week
with the announcement that Coach w.
B. Whitlow of the Blue Jays is i'll OF
influenza at his home in Fulton and
probably will not be able to accom-
pany his team to Fayette.
The former center of the local team
and at one time coach of the fresh
man squad at the University of Mis-
souri, was unable to put the finishing
touches on his 1918 machine. Lieu
tenant L. +. Phillips. cOmmandant of
the Westminster College S. A. 7. C..
a former Rutger star, was pressed in
to service and has been coaching the
men the last several nights. The
presence of Lieutenant Phillips in
Fulton helped the management out of
a bad hole as the men needed con-
siderable practice, the game with the
Maryville Normals for last Saturday
being Cancelled, leaving the Westmin-
ster team without a game for two
weeks.
The great rivalry between West
minister and Central since the two
schools have engaged in the turkey-day
game has resulted in great crowds
attending this classic each year. With
many Missouri rooters looking for a
football game and with this game as
the big card for that day, the city of
Fayette should be crowded
The Fulton rooters are going pre-
pared to back their men with all
strength possible, a special train and
brass band having been secured for
that day. 1t is certain that several
hundred roOters will go to Fayette on
the special and that many more will
make the overland trip in automo-
biles if the weather permits. On the
basis of dope" Westminster seems
to have the edge on Central but the
fighting in this game is always so in
tense that early season records are
usually shattered when the Presby-
terians and Methodists lock horns.
William Jewell beat Central % to 0
while the Jewellites eked out TO
0 victory over Westminster.

cases of influenza among the school
children. However, ON Monday OF
this week four cases were reported
among the high school students and
others followed in rapid succession.
Precautions Are Taken.
The earlier caSes were reported
fl m homes where members other
than school pupils were i'll with the
disease. Every precaution is taken
in the schools to prevent the spread of
contagious diseases. says Mr.. McPher-
sen. Teachers watch closely and
send home all children who show
symptoms of illness. Then the health
officer makes an investigation to de-
termine the nature Of the illness and
reports to the superintendent Office.
Consequently there is on file in the
office of the superintendent a daily
record of every child who is i'll and
the nature of the illness.
The first of this week, the superin-
tendent sent out to parents of school
children a request that they report
contagious diseases in the family,
whether of children or others, to the
superintendent, and that they keep at
home all children who showed symp-
toms of disease or in whose homes
some member of the family was i'll.
Pledge cards were attached to the
notices enrolling the signers as prom
Using to cooperate with the school Of
ficials to prevent the spread of con-
tagiOus diseases. Nearly all parents
Of school children responded favOra
bly,. according to Mr.. Mcpherson.
The average number of new intluen-
Ia cases among the University stu
dents. including the S. A. T. C. men,
,bers, lately has been about four day,
according to DR.. Dan G. Slime. The
eases are divided evenly among the
men and women.
No new cases in the vocational sec
ton have been reported. There are
now only fifteen men i'll at the bar
racks.
Fourteen cases have been reported
among University women. Fourteen
are i'll at Read Hall, two at Parker
Hospital and two at their homes.

Notwithstanding the advanced cost
Of newspaper production, and notwith-
standing other unfavorable conditions
brought about by war the people Of
Mississippi may expect to see this
year and early next year, as IN past
election years, new papers started
under the gulse OF newspapers, but
in reality established to further the
selfish ambition of some politician or
clan of politicians and incidentally to
relieve office-seekers of their loose
change
Such papers see no virtue in busi-
ness, and generally adopt the cut
throat methods of doing business.
Those back Of such papers do not ex-
pect TO make profit or a living out
of them, for indeed political papers
are not established for that purpose.
Subscriptions are sold at cost, below
cost, and IN fact distributed free, if
there's no other way Of getting the
paper IN the pubhc's hands. Politi-
cal papers must have large circula-
tions, whether it pays or not. Their
purpose Is 10 make votes, not money.
There's another way they have Of
getting money, and usually its a lot
more plentiful than subscription
money.
Papers op, ated and controlled by
ambitious and scheming politicians
are as dangerous to the country's
welfare as papers operated and con-
trolled by ambitious and scheming
money kings Both seek the same
end-P0WER. And both use the
same methods to reach their alma

IMPROVED SERVICE
AT LYRIC THEATRE

A noticeable improvement Of ser
vice a. the Lyme Theatre is attract
ing attention and comment. Manager
Williams is doing his best TO please
the people by giving the very best
pictures obtainable- He has been
handicapped by the run down condi-
ton Of the projecting machines and
the curtain, all of which he has just
about overcome He has had the ma
chimes overhauled and the curtain re-
silvered at a great expense, and the
Improvements he is making are very
noticeable The shows that he is
putting on every night are up TO date
pictures and are the same as are
shown in the larger cities
Those who attend also notice the
Ill behavior Of some boys, who, no
doubt, mean nothing but TO ''show off,
but people who pay their money TO
see picture do not enjoy the un-
necessary noise and blowing of
whistles. If those young fellows are
not courteous enough to act decent
they should stay at home, where their
parents can LOOK after them To
cheer At a good scene is in order and
all night, but to tear the house down
when any little thing goes wrong. or
let out those deafening whistles, is
very annoying. especially to older
people
There are few cities many times
lager than Oxford which has a bet
ter equipped opera house, and the
people Of this community should feel
proud Of the opportunity offered of
seeing a good show every night. The
shows are in every way worthy of
liberal patronage by the people of
the town as well as the people of the
country. Those who have cars can
come several miles, see the show and
return home by early bedtime. The
shows are clean, the house comfortable
and the entertainments are well
worth the price.
