BREAD DROPS
A CENT A LOAF

Bread, like the other necessaries of
life, has hit the downward trail in
price.
Local bakery bread, which has been
selling for eleven cents since the war
period, the past week was reduced to
ten cents.
However, out-of-town bread, offered
for sale in the local grocery stores,
has been selling for nine cents a loaf
for some weeks, at least at one Of
the stores.
But the downward tendency is here,
and bread is beginning to come in fol-
its share Of the reduction in price.

DEFEAT THE POWERFUL
AND FAST MERIDIAN
ELEVEN TURKEY DAY.
HOOD WAS STAR
Game Probably Last of the Sea-
son - Generals In Great
Victorious Sweep In
Last Half.
BY TOM DEzoNIA.

Thu Generals ended their victorious
march to the Championship Of Missis-
sippi BY defeating the Meridian Hi
in the Turkey Day battle by score
Of So to O.
The Meridian team made hit with
the fans by their gameness and sports
man like playing, they were little
lighter than the Generals but were
running over with gameness. Gray
was the star for Meridian, his kick
ing was one Of the outstanding feat
ures Of the game, Not a cleaner
bunch of players have been on the
field this season, and we hope they
will return for a game next season.
During the first two quarters it
looked as If the Generals were loafing
but it may have been that they were
just looking for weak spots in the
Meridian II for the beginning of the
third quarter, they hit their stride and
at the end Of the game they had put
across FIVE touehdowns in the last two
quarters.
The entire team played wonder
full game but the individual star was
Hood. He hit the line like tank, =
swept around the ends like Harding
swept Ohio" and completed two for
ward passes for total of 81 yards
in Is starts with the ball he gained
la total Of 1856 yards and was not
thrown for a loss nor was there a
time when he did not gain some
ground. Atkins was next for gaining
ground, III IL starts he gained total
of 90 yards and was thrown for loss
Of 5 yards. Ashmore was next, he
started 10 times and gained SO yards.
Bat Bell was next, starting II times,
gaining II yards and being thrown
for loss of 8 yards. 1t seemed that
lit was Battles bad day as he made
five fumbles, three Of them being on
low passes from Donovan. Walton
Lipscomb gained a total Of 10 yards,
George Lipscomb gained 40 yards,
Brewster II and Big johnson gained
70.
The game started with the Generals
making a fake kick to the 40 yard
line. The Meridian boys fumbled and
lost the ball. Bell was thrown for
loss of yards on a tumble. Atkins
tore through the line for 10 yards and
then back again for 2 yards. The
Generals tried a forward pass, Mer-
idian intercepting. The ball switched
from MERIDIAN back 70 the Generals
and then back again to Meridian a
forward pass was tried on the fourth
down by Walton Lipscomb made a
noise like a Meridian player and the
Meridian quarter made a beautiful
pass to him, then he made 50 yard
hike for the first touchdown. Ham
cock kicked the goal.
Two more touchdowns followed in
the next few minutes but in the second
, quarter the Generals failed to cross
, the goal line.

LOUISVILLE Hi
| REFUSES TOPLAY
Unwilling to Face Generals In
Championship Game-PrOb-
ably Last Game of Sea-
son Played.

The undefeated Louisville High
School eleven has refused to meet the
Lee High Generals of Columbus in q
post-season championship game.
The refusal came over the long dis
lance telephone Friday following the
defeat of the Meridian High School
eleven by the Generals Thursday.
A claim to the State High School
championship of Mississippi has been
modestly made by the Lee High team
and it had been hoped that Louisville
would accept the challenge and contest
the Generals claim, but they prefer
not to take chances of losing the
prestige of going through the season
without single defeat.
The Generals are ready to defend
their claim against all-comers and un-
less some team is willing to accept
the challenge they feel that the title
should rightfully rest with them.
Every player on the Lee High team
is a bona fide high school student, and
the team has played only high school
elevens this season, but some of the
strongest in the state.
Following is the teams seasons re-
nnrI.

lens Will Come up for Con-
sideratiOn - Members
Urged to Attend.

The first forum meeting of the
members of the Chamber of Com
merce will be held on Thursday night,
December End, in the parlors of the
Gilmer Hotel, the headquarters of the
organization.
All members of the organization
are urged to attend this important
meeting.
Primarily, the matter of the college
land gift will be discussed, but other
problems will come up for consider
alton, and all members are invited
and urged to be presnt.
Forum meetings present opportuni-
ty to the members of the Chamber to
offer their suggestions for the good
of the community.
Following is the Chamber of Com
merce's announcement of the meeting:
Members Forum Meeting.
The Chamber of Commerce will
hold a Members Forum Meeting at
the .Gilmer Hotel en- Thursday night,
December End. At this meeting will
be discussed the Importance to the
City of Columbus, and to the State at
large of the proposed additional inn
provements to be made to the M. 5.
c. w. As is we'll known, the State
has appropriated five hundred thou
sand dollars for additional improve
ments for this institution, but this
appropriation does not carry with it
the purchase Of any additional land.
The citizens o. Columbus, appreciat-
ing the inport!Aice 70 the community
of these additions, have undertaken
to purchase additional property adj
joining the college property, for the
purpose Of providing for the contem-
plated expansion of the institution
Jad of donating same to the State for
this purpose.
Besides offering greatly increased
facilities for the education of the
young women of the State, it is esti-
mated that the increase in the facili-
ties Of the institution will mean ar
additional expenditure in Columbus
of at least one hundred thousand dol
lars year. This is by far the most
important proposition that Columbus
has had placed before it in many
years, and means more to the people
1t is proposed to levy a special tas
of not over one-half of one per CEN
on the taxable valuation of property
in Columbus during any che year, t.
raise money to purchase this propert.
for the purpose above outlined, and al
election has been called for Decembei
9th, for the taxpayers to express
their approval or disapproval OF tni'
project. There seems to be little ques
ton but what every citizen who ha
the welfare of Columbus at heart will
vote in favor of this special tax levy
1t is earnestly desired that ever!
member of the Chamber of Commerce
will be present at the Members For
UNI Meeting on Thursday night, De
cember End, at 1880 o'clock, at tn
Gilmer Hotel, to enter into full dis
cussion of this proposition.
Come out and hear what your fel
low townsmen think of this importan
project.

FOREIGN ISSUES
HURT MARKET
U. S. Bond Prices Suffer In
Proportion to Loan, De-
clares Official.

The price of Liberty bonds and
all other bonds in America will be
depressed in exact proportion as
foreign bonds bearing high rates
of interest are fiOated in America.
This warning was given in official
circles here yesterday after it had
been announced that the new $780,
100000 per cent French loan had
been fully subscribed.
The invariable tendency of bond
prices, it was explained, is to sink
after loan of such proportions has
been fiOated. This is due to the
facts that to obtain funds for pur-
chase of high interest bearing
bonds many purchasers are forced
to throw their bonds bearing lower
interest upon the market.
Periods of tight money" and
high interest rates, such as the
present, the official asserted, are
invariably accompanied by depres-
sion of all old issues OF bonds An
securities are. it was poitned out,
now being peddled on the American
market.
Regulation of such foreign Sc
curities is actually in the hands of
private banking firms.
The United States government is
entirely out of the money lending
business and is in no wise RESPONSE
Bile for any foreign issuei in America.
This makes it all the more necessary
for the average investor to exercise
great caution.

ness in the cash market, which
closed l2a1c lower. September corn
finished 14a1Sc lower, December
dropped &c and May &c.
The government report was con-
strUed to be bullish on wheat, and
induced an active demand at the
start. which was followed by free
purchases by houses with Eastern
connections. Sentiment was so one
sided that bears could make little
headway at any time. Profit taking
by longs caused setbaCks from the
days best prices, but the undertone
continued firm, with 2a4c higher
cash prices a sentimental factor. De-
cember wheat advanced 4 al z c and
March gained &c.
Oats ruled steady until near the
close, when the steady volume of
prOtit-taking sales forced prices back
to the previous finish. At the close
September and December oats were
unchanged to 1sc higher and May
was unchanged.
