GET OFF OF THAT FRONT PORCH

Just get off of that front porch, old
chap,
And get out of your old, easy sleep
ing cap;
Meet me before the people so very
dear,
Every word of the League of Nations
must be clear,
Sane, sound, and without any quio-
bling here.
Mindful of your slothfulness to firm
ly stand,
In interest of the League OF Nations
hand in hand; -,
Dodge not the issue of worldwide,
sweet peace, -.
Do your best a worldwide clViilza-
ton to increase.
Look into the futures much greater,
better plan,
Every move, dodge that momentary
political clan
That you may not lose time trying 20
buy political fame
Over the protest of the people IN a
political game;
Nebu,o ons views might bring you into
political shame.
Come out, old chap, and do the thing
fair
On every occasion do not your I'M
tegrity spare;
Xenodochy should sway you to be al
ways on the square.

MAY BE GREATEST Oil
FIELD IN TIE WORLD

G121S. nm e&ssA., t1rct3tEf, 2 0..-s-
John O'Bannoa, veteran globe trotter,
newspaper man and world famed
geologist is now in Mississippi making
surveys of the states mineral resourc-
es for northern interests and is very
much impressed with the future pos
sibilities for the discovery of oil here.
In sis opinion Northern Mississippi
will be the next great oil field of the
world In an interview here Monday,
Mr.. O'Bannon stated that the struc-
ture of the state is similar to that Of
the famous Spindletop region of Tex
as, except that the Mississippi terri
tory embraces a much larger area.
Regarding the oil geology as sur
veyed by Mr.. O'Bannon he states in
brief the following:
The anticlinal formation of North
Mississippi is geo ogically perfect in
every respect and in many ways re-
sembles the Spindletop formation
near Beaumont, Texas. According
to petroleum science, oil in com
mercial quantities depends upon
structure, formation and reservoir.
These are ideal in the north one-third
of Mississippi, which is most patent
to the geological observer and are
wholly within the state.
The anticlinal formation shades off
towards Tennessee until it reaches
Reel Fcot Lakes towards the north
east The anticlinal formation trav-
els through Tennessee passing on an
til it shades off into the oil producing
area of Kentucky The anticlinal
formation of Mississippi have this ad-
vantage, the Appalachian oil belt and
the Ozark oil bet cross and wholly
enclose the apex Of the anticline.
There is no mistake about this as the
Bakersfield, California oil district
connected with Fayette, Alabama de
fines the median line of the Ozark
oil belt. Titusville, Pennsylvania.
on the other hand with Tampico,
Mexico defines the median line of the
Appalachian oil belt. These two lines
intersect in Choctaw county, Miss,
and in my opinion the last great pro-
ducing Gil field thereby lies in north
ern Mississippi and southern Tennes-
see.
Mr.. O'Bannon first made a geolog-
ical survey through Mississippi fif-
teen years ago and since then has fol-
lowed his work in Australia, Mexico,
Canada and Alaska He is writer
of note and for some time acted as a
foreign correspondent of the New
York Herald.

The facilities now used by you wsre paid fOT

what they are earning in Mississippi while
serving you Just as YOU know.
Can you ask or expect them to furnish more
money for your use in Mississippi under pres
ent conditions
If the people OF Mississippi will not supply
the money needed 10 serve themselves they
must induce strangers to furnish it.
This can be done by allowing the stranger to
earn fair and Just profit upon his money
now invested In Mississippi. serving YOU, and
upon all additional money required TO furnish
you service,
This can be done In but one way: by paying
fair and Just rates.
When the Company Is legally authorized 10
charge rate which will yield fair and Just
profit over and above the cost OF furnishing

 Players and substitutes who are mak. ng the trip include Captain Lindsay, Moore and Sanford, tackles; Paget, Terry and Henderson, centers; Barrow, Patter- Son and Cookery, guards; Herndon, Arpo- Bast, Leake and Macdonald, ends: Sil- ferstine and Cameron, fullbacks; MattoS, Fucker, Raines, Sinclair, Marshall, half backs. and Cogbill, quarterback.

this afternoon at the close of practice, the entire student body gathering on Wilson field for rally. From all ind:- cations, the game is attracting as much attention as the West Virginia contest last Saturday. The Generals supporters believe that although the Auburnites have the Blue and Whites line outweighed. the superior speed and az gressh eness of Raftery's warriors will bring home another scalp dangling from their belts
 All members of the squad are in fine physical trim for the contest Satur- day. Paget, star center, whose foot was
 injured in the " F. ]. game of two weeks ago, will probably appear at the pivotal position again, while Halfback Rainos and Macdonald, end. who were injured in the Princeton game, may be able to play against the Piainsmen at Birmingham Saturday. The Generals shifty back field shows no defects as result of the game against the Mountaineers last Sat urday, and it is expected that they will render as good account of themselves against Auburn as they did against West Virginia, while there is every confidence apparent in each member of the team anxious for the referee whistle on Sat urday.
 Reports of the game, play by play, Will be received here over a special prlNate wire from Birmingham Saturday after noon, according to information recelvei here.

Panthers Ready For Big Battle
 With Moccasins
Fly Johnh F. Holmes

Coach Charlie Browns crew out on sunshine slopes is going through the hardest practice of the season in order to put up the best showing possible against the two remaining teams on the schedule.
 The University of Chattanooga is the first one on the list, and the Partners are working hard to annex their scalp at Munger field tomorrow afternoon a3 2:30. The Methodists realize that they are not going to have the same easy time that they had with the 'Noogans last year. All the dope coming this way shows that the Moccasins will come pretty close to averaging them selves for the drubbing they received at the hands of the Birmingham- Southern squad last season. But along with the growth of the Tennesseeans has come the development of Coach Charlies eleven. No one who has seen the latter in action for the past two seasons will deny that the bunch of this year is superior in many respects to that of previous one. In the first place Eddie Lewis has developed his bunting under the excellent tutelage of Jenks Gillem, to such an extent that he has not been outdone in any game so far. This is saying good deal for they have met the heavy elevens of the University of Alabama, Auburn and Vanderbilt.
 A whole lot of confidence for victory is being placed in the hands of shorty Propst, the Methodists stellar center. His defensive work against Auburn won for him All-Southern mention by some of the Montgomery enthusiasts. He has about 190 pounds of solid bone and muscle and a big frame on him at that, which together ought to prove a bitter dose for the Moccasins.
 The 'Noogans will find another hard spot on tbe line in the person of Slim" Neese. He has been nursing some hurts that he received in previous conflicts and hasn't been able to play very much in the last two or three affairs. He says now that he is in the pink of condition and ready to give the visi- tors some real fight. Slim" is as good as his word, for he has won the ad- miration of the grandstand on more than one occasion.
