FIRE DEPARTMENT CALLED.

The members Of the Columbus Fire
Department were called to the home
of Mr.. Crews, the candy manufacture
er, on South Market street, about $3.50
O'Clock Monday night. A son of Mr..
Crews, with motion picture films in
his hands, approached too near the
CRATE and the films caught fire. Fear
ing that the house would be set on
fire, the family called for the firemen.
The blaze was extinguished, however,
before the fire company reached the
scene, and there was no damage.

GENERALS" PLAY
MACON ON FRIDAY
indicated Lee Hi Team Will
Take on Macon High School
Friday Afternoon
Play Here.

The undefeated Lee High School
Generals" will clash for gridiron
honors with the Macon High School
team on Barrow field Friday after
noon, and the team is determined to
uphold its season record.
Not single defeat has come to the
home eleven and they expect to close
the season without defeat, record
which will entitle them to the foot
ball championship Of the high schools
of northeast Mississippi.
Tupelo is the other contender for
the championship honor, and it is
probable, though somewhat remote,
that they will challenge the claim Of
the Generals to the title. Tupelo is
undefeated thus far this season and
III the challenge comes the Generals
will either have to play or technically
yield the title.
Tupelo is said to have one Of the
best teams ever sent out by a high
school in Mississippi, but the support
ers Of the Generals claim an equal
prestige for their team and a game
between the two elevens in Columbus
would be big drawing card as the
closing game of the season.
On Thanksgiving Day the Generals
clash with the Meridian High School
eleven, said to be one Of the fastest
elevens in all of South Mississippi.
This game is exciting much interest
in football circles.
The Macon eleven which comes
Friday is expected to put up stiff
game and the Generals will not have
a walk away by any means.
For offensive and defensive play the
Lee Hi eleven is one Of the most pow
erful elevcns ever sent out by high
school In this State. 1t works like
well oiled machine, and with clock
like precision. Brains are the domin-
ant factor In the team for the eleven
has outgeneraled every team they
have met this season. Even when the
odds were against them and they were
outclassed in certain departments of
play they used their heads and out
witted their oponenpts and forced VIC
tory.
As field general Walton Lipscomb
has directed the team like a veteran,
and he ranks as one Of the headiest
and fastest quarterbacks in High
School circles in Mississippi. Battle
Bell is wonderful man in the back
field, the most consistent ground gain
er the Lee High has ever turned out,
and along with him ranks Lipscomb,
Hood and Atkins
Indeed, should there be an All-High
School eleven of Mississippi these men
would be entitled to places in the sun,
especially Lipscomb and Bell.

LAST PLACE TO GO
DRY-JOHN SHARP
WANTS THE POST

Mr. Harding has promised to APP
point one Democrat to office. This
promise was given about year ago
on Oct, %, 1919, the day the Senate
passed the prohibition amendment. On
that day Senator John Sharp Williams
of Mississippi, supporter of the
amendment, but personallya liberal
approached Senator Harding and said
"Well, see that fate has it that
you will leave US next year and go to
the other end Of the avenue"
Harding smiled and said that he
was candidate, but that many things
interviewed between the nomination and
election.
Il have some Of the vision of the
old slaves that are still working on my
plantation, and ! tell you that you
will be the next President retorted
Senator Williams. sand | am going
to make one request of you" he added,
"and that is that you appoint me
Minister to Portugal
I'm do it, if you insist, provided
your vision comes true" replied Hard
ing, "but may ask you why you want
such a place? 2"
That's simple. I've figured it out
that Portugal is the last place in the
world that viii go dry."--New York
Times.

MEN READ EN-
TOO-A TIP TO
MEN EVERYWHERE

1t used to be said that only women
read the newspaper ads.
But, it's different now.
In all the big cities advertisements
are written especially to appeal to
me.
In this issue of The Dispatch there
is an advertisement, a big imposing
full page advertisement, written es-
pecially for men.
1t is Simon Loeb and Bros. an
nouncement of rs per cent. further
reduction in mems clothing in all de-
partments.
II men don't read the ads it is their
loss. Not only the Loeb ad in this
issue but all the ads all the time.
Don't blame US if you lose.

NEWSPAPERS ARE
FORGED TO CLOSE
Rising Tide Il Costs and High Price
! of Nevsprint Forces Many
Out, of Business.
tBy Internatlonal News servIcel !

Boston, Nov. 13.-In an article OF
Newspaper Mortality" the Boston
News Bureau ina current issue says
"The narrow margin of profit which
exists in the newspaper business be
tween publishing cost and selling price
has been wiped out in very large
number of cases. the steady upward
march of contract prices for news.
print. Many publications are now re.
failing on the streets for very nearly
the cost Of the. blank paper on which
they are printed:
Naturally this rising tide has
caught and dreWned many publishers
who were not strong enough either
to climb above it by raising their
lprices or to keep themselves ahoat on
the earnings Of more profitable years
in the past.
"The magnitude Of this flood tide
and the number of its victims is indi-
Gated by the decline in registrations
|of second-class publications with the
Post Office Department.
Decrease from previous fiscal year:
1919, LIS; 1918, 1888; 1917, 81.
"These, Of course, are net figures;
that is, they do not measure the num-
Der of publications which went out of
business without offsetting it with
the new publications registering for
the first time.
"The full measure of discontinue
ton of established publications is con-
tanned in the figures Of Messrs. Ayers
"a Son, of Philadelphia. Their COM
pilations show the following suspen-
sions, net listings and net losses for
the three years:
Publications suspended-1919, L.
$50; 1918, 1854; 1917, 1890. New
publications listed--1919, 1,043; 1918,
IT'S; 1917, 1,O43. Net loss 1919, GAG;
1918, 1,178; 1917, GIG.
"Only few of the largest metro
pclitan dailies have their own print
mills; only the largest publications
relatively few Ii ngvnberz-contraet
direct with producing companies for
their supplies at the published con-
tract prices.
"The greater number of publications
get their newsprint through jobbers
and middlemen, and some of them do
not even have contracts. These are
the consumers whose need drives them
to pay the spot prices for news
print-sometimes as high as twelve
and fifteen cents a pound. A few
years ago newsprint sold under three
cents 3 pound.
"The passing Of the country news
paper will mean the loss of a unique
American molder of public opinion, as
well as the loss of one of the things
which helps to keep the worker on
the soil. When country newspapers
go out Of business, the exodus from
the farm, it is feared, will reach even
larger proportions
