pairing an ordinance regulating auto
mobile traffic, and fixing the mini
mum age at which a person may
drive an automobile on the streets of

when the ordinances are presented
for consideration.
The ordinance will also fix and reg

the fallen heroes decorated with
flowers. The Daughters Of the Con-
federacy who have so nobly sponsored
the Memorial Day custom, and the

WRESTLING MATCH

Mr.. J. l.. Mashbum, the local
wrestler, who held his own with the
heralded famous Rex. Of Tupelo and
Pennsylvania, in a match in this city
the past week, has asked Red for

meet with Rex last week, holding his
own in the one-hour handicap. Prof.
Rex announced that he would throw
Mr.. Mashburn two times during the
hour, but in this he failed, for only
once did he down the big Columbus
wrestler. Mashburn got the first de-
cision, and in a few minutes he him
self was downed by the famous Rex.
1t was a case of equally matched
wits and art, for Mr. Mashburn held
his opponent under the most trying
circumstances. Prof. Rex, after the
match, complimented Mr.. Mashburn
very highly, and declared him to be
one of the most promising wrestlers
in the country.

WHAT

If there were no advertisements in
this day and time? We would go back
to the primitative state; the cost Of
every article now considered neces-
sity would be SO high that it would
be prohibitive. Advertising increases
the volume of sales and output and
expands distribution and thus the
price is lowered to figure within the
reach of all.
But without advertising many of
the comforts and conveniences Of
modern life would not be within reach
of many of us.
