Bureau Of Plan.
In returning his agricultural statis-
tics report to the census bureau, a
Pennsylvania farmer eliminated facts
about crops altogether. An inquiry by
the bureau brought this explanation:
1.-THE population near and about my
farm has a tendency to relieve the
owner from the labor of gathering his
own crops. This altruistic impulse is
so predominant that | have refrained
from planting anything for the last 20
years. AM just now turning about AZ
acres into a cemetery and hope to fill
II soon.'

Miss, who thrilled his listeners with
two selections performed upon the
sheepskin.
The Meet was entirely successful
from every point of view. For this
success thanks are due to those who
worked so hard to make the meet
possible and to secure places for the
visitors, and to those who acted as
judges, ground-poice and committee
men, without whose help the State
High School Meet would not have
been possible.
1t is hoped that the High Schools
Of the State will profit by the sue
cess of the recent Meet and will
put forth the greatest efforts to
make the next one an even greater
success, and that they will take adj
vantage of the opportunity of getting
in closer relationship with their State
University, a thing which means so
much for the welfare of the state at
large and which can be the means Of
the building of stronger education
al system in Mississippi.

FIELD MEET
BRILLIANT SUCCESS
EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS
Tupelo Wins Cup. Many Medals
Awarded Individuals In Literary
And Athletic Events.

| On last Saturday night IN the
chapel, trophies and prizes were
awarded to the victors in the contests:
of the State High School. Meet held
at Ole Miss last Friday and Satuf-
day. The house was packed to its
doors with winners, losers and others.
The Ole Miss Orchestra opened the
program of the evening and was
heartily applauded after each num-
Der by an appreciative audience. The
opening remarks were made by Or.
FAINT, Dean of the School of Educa-
ton, in which he expressed the ap-
probation of the University toward
the High Schools of the State for
their cooperation and towar. the peo-
pie of Oxford who SO generously AID
ed in taking care Of the visitors. He
made announcement of the Meet to
be held here a year hence and ask
ed that the schools look forward to
it and strive to make it as much OF
success as the one just past. IN.
FAINT introduced DR.. j. II. Dorroh,
Dean of the School Of Engineering,
who acted. as Master of ceremonies
for the remainder OF the evening, and
awarded prizes to the many proud
victors of the various contests.
There were eighteen different con-
tests, each one severe enough in it
self to make the winner deserving of
reward. The number of entries far
exceeded any expectations, making it
difficult in many instances for the
judges to decide who was really the
victor. The schools making points in
the atheletie contests numbered six,
and were led by the Tupelo High
School with eighteen points to its
credit. Canton took second place
with eleven points and Winona third
place with nine points. Other schools
making points were the Grenada and
Clarksdale High Schools two points
each and the Greenwood school one
point.
In the literary contests there were
thirteen schools which made points.
These were again led by the Tupelo
High School which piled up nine
points. McComb made seven points,
thus putting herself in second place.
Third place went to the Clarksdale
school which secured six points. The
other schools making points were,
Lexington, five points, Aberdeen 3
points; Poplar Springs, Holmes Co.
A. H. S., Water Valley, and Okolona,
two points each; Batesville, Clinton,
Corinth and West Point one point
each.

tornado had left hardly a rag on her

In another district all that was left
of family of five was father, whose
mind became unbalanced when, after
days search, he found the mangled
bodies of his wife and three children.
And, as the kilograms poured into
the division with fresh news Of suffer-
ing, the Red Cross responded immedi
ately with supplies or money. Not
one appeal remained unanswered.
Then from Meridian came a call for
clothes. Men and women were found
with scarcely a shred of clothing; ba
bies were nearly naked. The New Or,
leans Chapter took hold Of this appeal,
and the Women's Department, under
Mrs. Chas. Buck, sent out huge boxes
OF clothing and shoes, donated by the
citizens of New Orleans, who respond
ed to a call on their generosity.
With reports of three hundred peo-
pie killed, fifteen hundred seriously
injured, minor injuries not estimated,
and nearly four thousand people home
less, the Red Cross, with the help Of
the Quartermasters' Department, sent
out five hundred tents, ten thousand
blankets, five hundred cots, sheets,
pillow cases, clothing, bed jackets and
surgical dressings and fifteen thou
sand dollars in cash. This sum was
augmented by donations from many

LOSES TO GOODS

In the prettiest basketball game
of the year, the Ole Miss co-eds de-
feated Memphis "Y" in a hard
fought battle. The girls went into
the fight with grim determination
to wipe out the defeat of the first
game played with Y and when the
final score was made it stood 1872

Very few fouls were called on eth

winning this game cannot be given
any of the girls.
The honor of being star of the Y
team was equally shared by two of
the players. One, Davis, while not
scoring so much guarded splendidly
and her head work was irreproach-
able. The other, Frey, was only put
in in the serond half and she made

the suffering in the wake of the storm
the women nursing, supplying cloth
ing and feeding the survivors; the
men attending to the heart-rending
task Of identifying the dead and carry
ing the injured to shelter. Doctors
and nurses were working at high
pressure in Overcrowded hospitals;
dazed families were found wandering
around, making no move to obtain
shelter, despite the drizzling rain that
was adding to the general misery; all
through the day panic-stricken strag-
glers from outlying districts brought
fresh reports of injured people with
no one to minister to their needs.
All organizations combined in gen,
eral relief work, and emergency hos
pitlas were fitted out at many of the
smaller towns. The Negro Canteen
