Schoolers.
League Standing.
Games This Week.
Tuesday-Chero Colas VS.. Shoppers.
Friday-High School VS.. Retailers.

In lop-sided game, though re-
plete with thrills and lots of excite
ment, the Chero Colas triumphed over
the Retailers Friday afternoon, score
% to A.
A long drive by Wells over the bill
boards in deep center was the signal
for barrage which the Chero Colas
laid down against Lindamood's de-
livery and when the attack had been
completed five tallies had been reg
istered and victory assured.
The Chero Colas came up from the
rear when the score was to 3 against
them. Lindamood weakened and his
letting up coupled with costly errors
and loose playing lost the day for the
Retailers.
Wells long drive, the longest of the
season, started the fireworks, with one
man down. McKellar was safe on
first on Walters error; Staggers flew
out to short Brooome walked and
Sanders went to first on Curtis err
ror. Oscar Burris came up and won
his own game with double to right,
scoring Wells and McKellar Sanders
scored on an error by Lindamood and
Burris crossed the plate when Jones
singled.
Burris pitched a good game, allow
ing only five safeties and worked with
the precision of a clock. Lindamood
yielded a like number Of safeties,
but three of them were punched in
the sixth which brought about his
downfall.

BONDS SOLD FOR
COLLEGE REPAIRS

The State of Mississippi has sold
$25O,0O0 of the $5,00O,000 bond issue
for repairs and improvements at state
institutions, to the New York Life
Insurance Company, at par and ac-
crued interest.
The sale was negotiated in New
York by Attorney General Frank Rob-
erson. The bonds bear five and one
half per cent interest, and the sale
was made despite the fact that Ore
gon and South Dakota were offering
in the same market bonds bearing a
higher interest rate.
A telegram from Attorney General
Robertson announcing that the sale
had been concluded was received in
Jackson on Friday night, and caused
much satisfaction among state off
cials, who, for more than a month,
had feared that, owing to the condi-
tion of the money market, 1t might
not be possible to make the sale. Af-
ter the last meeting of the State Bond
and Building Commission, Attorney
General Robertson left for New York.
Finding it impossible to sell the bonds
in Wall Street, he went to the office
of the New York Life Insurance Com
pany and succeeded in concluding the
sale, despite the fact that the corpo-
ration could have purchased bonds of
two other states at higher rate of
interest.
This block Of the state bond issue
is exclusively for repairs at colleges
and other institutions, and is not in
cluded in the Noel referendum petition
seeking an election regarding the
issue.

DRY WEATHER
AIDS CAMPAIGN
Anti-Malaria Drive Is Making Good
Headway-Public Asked
to Cooperate.

The recent dry weather has great
ly aided the forces engaged in the
anti-malaria campaign, as many of
the long street-ditches, which would
have needed attention, are completely
dried up. Practically the only sources
of mosquito breeding left in the city
limits are the artificial containers,
carelessly left about premises to catch
rainwater, and in which mosquitoes
may breed by the thousands. In a
short trip of inspection through the
business district last week, Sanitary
Engineer Komp and Chief Inspector
Lyons found enough neglected bar
rels, tubs, cans and other containers
to supply the entire town with mos
quitoes for the coming season. APP
parently no notice had been taken of
the numerous requests for coopera-
tion with the health authorities in the
matter Of disposing of such mosquito
breeding places, and if such indiffer-
ence continues, more active measures
will have to be taken to bring Of
tenders to account. However, in
every instance where mosquito breed
ing was brought to the attention of
the tenant, the nuisance was in every
case remedied, showing a commend
able spirit of cooperation, and prov
ing that carelessness, and not wilful
disregard Of the law, was at the bot
tom of the trouble. In the future,
Chief Inspector Lyons will serve writ
ten notice on tenants in whose premis-
es breeding places are found, asking
that such nuisances be abated within
the three day limit prescribed in the
city's anti-mosquito ordinance. In
case this notice fails to have its de-
sired effect, offenders will be asked to
appear in court.
All citizens are requested to report
breeding places of mosquitoes in the
city limits to the headquarters Of the
campaign, addressing the Columbus
Anti-malaria Campaign, Box 472. If
everyone will make the reduction of
mosquito breeding places a personal
affair, it will be possible to free Col
umbus entirely from the mosquito
pest.

TRIP THE LIGHT FANTASTIC
TOE ON PAVED
STREETS.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT
Scores of Couples INDUCED In
Delightful Pastime-A.
& M. Band Furn-
ished Music.

With the blue sky of heaven as a
canopy, the stars of summers night
and the soft light of the Great White
Way flooded over the scene Columbus
first street dance Wednesday evening
was glowing and splendid success.
1t was an affair of almost pure
democracy. People in all stations Of
the social scale participated in the
dancing, and it was orderly, dignified
and graceful and an occasion of de-
lightful charm.
A block of the new paving on South
Market street between Main and Col
lege streets was roped off for the oc-
casion. Meal was spread on the sur
face of the street and with the moon
light and the light of the White Way
it presented scene of rare beauty.
Thousands of people assembled to
watch the dancers, and scores and
scores of automobiles were parked al
either end of the block and for blocks
each way. 1t seemed as if the en-
tire population of the city had turned
out to join in the fun and merry max
ing.
"Carolina's Sunshine and other
popular airs were rendered by the
big A. and M. band, the strains OF
music reaching to each end of the
block in clear notes. A gentle night
breeze carried the music of the banc
to many parts of the city where il
was heard and enjoyed by many
residents who had found it almost i'm
possible to get near the scene Of the
dancftlg. M
The dance was given by the Dokeys
as one Of the features of the bic
ceremonial which was staged Thurs
day night. Far into the night the
Dokey were working away with their
ceremonial in the Odd Fellows hall
while the dancers were enjoying the
delights of dancing in the open night
air.
The dance was a big community af-
fair, bringing hundreds and hundreds
of people together in an attitude and
a spirit which if cultivated will mean
much to the welfare, progress and
prosperity of the city and the develop
ment Of finer community spirit.
1t is possible that other street dane
es will be organized in the future.
