Oh, Money! Money!

The annual Whitworth College
Senior entertainment took place last
| evening at the Hampton Auditorium.
The young ladies had dramatized the
interesting story of "Oh, Money!
Money!" and presented it with tell
ing effect. The evening was one of
the most decided successes in Whit
worth history. There was not joy
less moment.
Between the acts the Millsaps
Quartette composed of Messrs. Willie
Day, of Brookhaven; Vernon Kear-
ney, Peele Harmon and Hendricks
Dawson, gave charming numbers
which were met by vociferous en-
cores. The singing of the students
was done remarkably we'll and added
very much to the attractiveness of
the hours.
Miss Olga Rodgers, of Clinton, who
is niece of President Cooper, had
the leading role of Mr.. Stanley G..
Fulton and distinguished herself in
it.
Miss Fannie B. Fondren as 'the
leading lady" was also prominent a.
mong the talented company each one
of whom deserves more than passing
mention. Miss Hattie Burl Cox was
greatly admired and like the rest
wore beautiful gowns that added to
her personal charm, while Misses
Kearney, Hearst, Kittrell and Hollo-
way were fine interpreters of parts
represented. Ruth Bass was remark
ably fetching" as the little bad boy
of the home and Leroy Byrd could
not possibly be excelled as the aged
and decrepit father.
The naturalesque charm pervaded
the entire presentation and in voice
and articulation the class was unusu-
ally fortunate.
Congratulations were showered up
on Miss Drake, the able and versa
tile Dean Of the College under whose
management and direction the play
was given at the close of the evening.
The Seniors rendered the Millsaps
students reception after the play.

TRUCKS ARE RUSTING AWAY.
Here's How Mississippi Appropriation
of Trucks Is Being Honored
by Commission.

A large feet of motor trucks do
mated to the state of Mississippi by
the Federal government, for use in
road building, is stored in the old
capitol yard.
The trucks have. been standing
there for the past three months, ex-
posed to weather Of all kinds.
No doubt the Highway Commission
has given to these trucks all the care
possible under the circumstances.
But motor truck is a costly piece
of machinery, and should not be al
lowed to stand out in the weather.
Something ought to be done to
provide shelter for the trucks if it
is not the intention of the Highway

conscience when 1t comes to the ex-

Nc Comfort for Grover
in Release of This Man

Philip I. Rome. Of Worcester,
Mass, was released by Judge Nor
ton in the Boston Federal Court to-
day, after an army court martial had
sentenced him to year for desertion.
He was released on the ground
that he had never been inducted
legally. He had gone to South
America on business. in 1917, before
his number was called in the draft.
He was arrested on his return few
months ago. He said he had never
received word from the draft board.
The court martial decided it had
jurisdiction in his case and con-
victed him. He was brought into the
civil court on writ Of habeas
corpus.
The case has some points Of
similarity to that Of Grover and
Erwin Bergdol, though not In the

tion, the Mayor indicated that the rea-.
son why he did not announce his final
plans was that he did not care to tip
off the Wares" The Mayors position
is that IL he were to announce his final
plans for 1921. he would be supplying
ammunition in advance for factional o2-
ponents.
Indications In City Hall today were
that Ware members of Council will com
bine with the so.called independent
group and refuse to indorse any plan
for continuing the contract system OF
street cleaning in eleven of the thirteen
districts. Council has the power to
force municipal cleaning for the entire

ell and the city administration. now
that supporters of the city charter have
been heard from. The view OF the
charter supporters was set forth by the
Bureau of Municipal Research in a joint
statement by Frederick L. Gutenberg
and James W. Follin. one Of the three
engineers who investigated street clean
ing in other cities. The bureau, after
denouncing the piecemeal plan. virtu-
ally called on City Council TO reject the
combined contract and municipal clean
ing proposal. The bureau pointed out
that Council can enforce municipal
cleaning. ......
Director Caven's Reply
Director Caven, of the Department OF
Public Works, replied to the statement
by Mr.. Gutenberg that the overhead
costs of two districts would be higher
than il the city cleaned all the streets
by asserting that he had informed
Mayor Moore the city could do nothing
but what was practical.
''No business man" said the director,
lis going u jump overheard without
pair of oars. told Mayor Moore
that we could not do anything but
what was practical and that was to take
what we knew we could get by with ;
in other words, take the center of the
city for start.
1--WE will not get any money from
City Council until the beginning of next
year, and it is not possible to do any
thing before then. Here is a gigantic
proposition which the administration
wants to put over and put it over in
businesslike way. IL in October OF
1921 we find it cxpedient to do it, the
city can arrange to take over the entire
proposition.
"The work of cleaning streets Is not
secret. 1t is not necessary to have

Ones greatness is not
measured by length of girth.
The measure of the man is
inside.
The private who dies alone
on the battlefield is every bit
as great as the General whose
death is marked by a military
pageant. The private has
done his best.
The industrious little
beaver whose diligent efforts
result in damming the creek
is as great as the human
engineer whose ingenuity and
skill succeed in harnessing
the waterfall. The beaver has
lone its best.
Non-achievement of pur-
pose is not failure If one has
done his best, but there never
was a success won without it.
More than a third of a CEN
tury ago, there were opened
in Philadelphia a few humble
grocery stores whose prop
rietors believed in "doing
their best" toward serving the
public. The American Stores
Co. of today is the outgrowth
of those few stores founded
on the bedrock of "doing ones
best" - the principles of
honesty of purpose and de-
.yotion to ideals.

we are still doing our best.

heels wear down
like this

This condition is not due to slovenli-
ness. It is caused by distortion of
the inner longitudinal arch and
mis-alignment of the heel bone.
Under the weight of the body the
ankle leans inward, causing the heel to
wear down unevenly.
The frame thus becomes unbalanced,
causing strain which may affect the
foot, calf, knee, hip and spine. Pains
resulting are often mistaken for grow-
ing pains IN children and sciatica, lum-
bago and Rheumatism in adults.

Would Reduce Surtaxes.
The remedy which most commends
itself to my judgment at the present
time is to reduce (e. &. by one-fourth)
Surtaxes attributable to that part of
the net income which is saved and
reinvested in business or property
yielding taxable income and at the
same time to admit the total amount
of such reduced turtaxes to the same
percentage (e.g. 20 per cent, of the re-
invested income as the rate imposed
upon the undistributed profits of cor
poration. The maximum tax upon
such saved income would thus be ap-
proximately the same whether invest
or the corporation. and whether re-
invested personally by the stockhold-
ers of a corporation or by such cor
poration for its stockholders. If at
any later date the profits of a cor
poration which had paid the undis-
tributed profits tax came to the dis
tributed, a credit equal to the tax
already paid by the corporation could,
IL it were thought wise, be easily
granted to the stockholders"

First Fossil Skeleton Mounted.

From the Scientific American.
The genus megatherium. the larg-
est of the ground sloth family. was
the first fossil skeleton ever TO be
mounted. Nearly two centuries ago a
Spanish colonist in the vice royalty
of Buenos Aires, now the Argentine
Republic, discovered the huge skele-
ton of an animal on the River Leyan,
few miles from the city The skel-
eton was sent to Madrid and later
mounted and is still seen in the ROYAL
Museum. Since then numerous skele-
tons of these animals have been
found in both North and South Amer
lea. The megatherium was twenty
five feet long from tip to tip. He
was a fearsome animal to look at. but
is believed to have been harmless and
to have been domesticated. 1t is estt-
mated that the first Americans MIXED
these mammals, and that one milking
netted as much as that given by ten
good Jersey cows.
