LONDON SHORT OF CLOTHES
Derby Hats and Uniforms Often Seen
on Streets of British
Metropolis.

LOndon.-The cost and the shortage
of civilian clothing combined with the
rapid disqualification of the army
have resulted in the appearance on
the streets of London of many make.
shift combinations of clothes.
The other morning in the Strand
recently demobilized soldier strolled
along wearing a derby hat, lounge
coat and khaki riding breeches and
puttees.
Norfolk jackets and khaki Stacks
are quite common wear. Several men
can be seen using service tunics as
sports coats, gray buttons having been
substituted for the BRASS ones. Uni.
forms are now regarded as personal
property and the war office does not
desire their return, so, apart from
throwing them away, ii is difficult to
know what use to make of them.

1t is summed up in the injunction,
Don't hurt any one. Don't hand
any one a deal that you don't want
handed you" 1t has been worded in
many ways, and in one of its forms
it is called "the golden rule"
On most bathing beaches, most

notably unconscious of the existence
of such things as sex. That is really
what worries certain type Of re-
formers. 1t is not that sex is too
much in evidence-rather that it is
entirely in absyance, until this type
of reformer startes whining about it..
Conduct is really more important
than cuticle, conscience than calves,
piety than patellae. Wen all know
this some day, but some of US take a
long time to leea-n.

A Word From Faser.

| wish to take this occasion to thank
the people Of Oxford and Lafayette
County for the great confidence they
have shown in me and the Guaranty
Bank and Trust Company during the
time | have served as President of
this institution. | regret that it is
necessary for me to give up this posi-
ton. but owing to the ruling of the
Trustees of the University, l have
been forced to do so.
We have elcted Mr.. 4. E. Neilscn
President and it is useless for me
to attempt to say anything about this
man. He is known to every person
in the county as aChristian gentleman,
man of great business ability, and
he is one who will do all in his power
to follow the policies laid down by
this bank in the beginning, namely:
TO make it an institution of useful
ness to evry person in the County.
We have played no favorites, we have
done what we could to help the man
in need of funds, and to say that we
have been reasonably successful, l
might mention what the Bank Exam
ine~ had to say some three or four
weeks ago: II have never seen a
bank do better in the same length of
time you have been running"
l want the people to know that l
am still interested in this bank and
I ask your continued confidence in
us. Fl. M. FASER.

IN PLAYTIME.

Most children in Oxford who are
about the age Of six have gained most
of their impressions in the last four
years. And the majority of these i'm
pressions came during the last two.
The same is true of European
children. When French Children play,
they pretend that they are soothing
spies, digging trenches, working ma
chine guns. Their sense impressions
have all been gained from what they
have observed in the last four
years.
1t has not been a particularly
healthy environment for children t.
form their ideas in. 1t is not parti-
cularly healthy now. Many of the
daily occurrences in France are not
of the kind that we would want our
growing children to witness. We
would not select these scenes and
sounds as fertile breeding ground
for the instincts which we want our
children to cultivate. 1t has been a
land of blood and tears-of tortue
and rapine. 1t is to-day a land of
poverty and smoldering hatreds-of
social and industrial unrest.
Here is fairly sound reason-if
we can think of no other-for pre-
serving in this country such conditions
as will not twist the pliable minds OF
the rising generation the wrong way
There is tendency just now for
everybody to declare that he is be-
ling robbed by somebody else-o1
Everybody else. And no doubt there
are many who have real grievances
But in sane country few of these
grievances are incapable Of orderly
adjustment. Settlement by violence
automatically creates t-yanny-ane
that is what the constitution of this
country was framed to prevent.
Bookkeepers will show what murd
erers cannot demonstrate-what th'
Igross profits Of all enterprises are
what the net profts-how mucl
lrevenue can be devoted to wages, ant
lstill leave enough to provide agains
commercial hazards, to offset losses
to expand into new fields. 1t is
matter of arithemetic-not assassi
) nation.

DIR. F. l.. Hope, of Tunica, Miss, Dead

The friends in and around Oxford
and College Hill were shocked to hear
of the sudden deaath of DR.. Hope,
caused by heart failure. He sue
cumbed August 28th.
DR.. Hope was born and reared at
Colleeg Hill. His parents having
been among the first to settle at that
place. He followed the practice Of
medicine until failing health caused
him to give up and then he began to
look after his farming interests.
He had many friends and numer-
Gus relatives in Oxford and College
Hill, where he was laid to rest, on
August 29,-beside his loved ones,
who had preceded him many years
ago.
Two brothers, Messrs. John and will
lie Hope, and sister, Mrs. Della
Hope Lesser, survive him.

best machines made, and fo~ the first
t4,ne IN tile hlSto.y CT the Lyric Inca
tire a truly up-Jo-date machine has
been used.
The picture Tuesday night was line,
the subject Was good, and with the
new machine no better production was
ever thrown on a screen. 1t is a big
improvement over the old type OF
macnlEe wnic-l has beel used hereto
fore at this theatre.
This is the same type OF machine
as are used by the most up-to-date
theatres in the large cities. Oxford
people should appreciate the service
Mr.. Robert Williams has been giving
in the way Of an up-to-date moving
picture show. All through the sum-
mer months this show has beenn Op-
Grated at loss, the manager desir-
ing to give the best pictures obtain
able. At times the show has been
scantly patronized, which was some
what discouraging to the manager,
but he has kept the show going.
Now that the real season is open
ing for the best shows, the people
OF this town and surrounding coun-
try snould silo,J their appreciation OF
an institution f this kind, ard be
more liberal in their patronage.
Nothing is better to rest tired,
worn out person than to sit for an
hour or two and gaze upon a good
picture, and watch the maneuvers of
those who live to make life worth
livirg.
The best shows obtainable will be
p ~ at the Lyric this season, with
an occasionally vaudeville of the
higheset class. Watch for the an
nouncemnts from time to time in this
paper and also read the weekly pro-
gram which will be issued every
week, after this week.
