The German mark, the nom!na
par value of which, before the war
was 23.Sc; but which has been stead
lily declining in price ever since the
armistice, dropped last Saturday to
the lowest point reached to O.4l cents
On October 2S the mark was worth
O.591-2 cents. Although it is under
stood that Germany has all along been
issuing paper money by the billion, the
cause of this very pronounced drop in
such short time is not yet fully eX-
plained-whethcr it is more exact re-
adjustment of the ratio of gold to cur :
rency or heavy speculative selling. 1t
does not seem that the mark is really
worth anything by way of exchange,
and it is certainly a long shot in spec
ulation.

LEE GUARDS AND
GEORGE RIFLES
ARE ABOLISHED
Famous Social Organizations At A
& M. College Are Abolished
By Board of Trustees.

Agricultural College, Miss, July IL
President d, c. Hull made an
nouncement today of the fact that at
the June meeting of the general Board
of trustees of the University and Col
leges action was taken abolishhag the
special military companies known as
the Lee Guards and the George Rifles.
This action of the Board of Trustees
is in line with action taken already
with reference to social clubs at the
State University. The resolution Of
the trustees setting forth the reasons
upon which this decision was taken,
is as follows, and is published for
general information:
Whereas, it is the judgment of this
Board that the special military COM
panies at Mississippi A. g. M. Col
lege known as the Lee Guards and the
George Rifles are fostering social and
class distinctions that have no place in
democratic institution, that their in
fluence tends to extravaganza and ex-
cessive social indulgences on the part
of their members, that the presence
of these companies in the student
body is the cause of discord, and that
the organizations exert no construct
i've influence for good to the college
or to the student body, therefore be
it
"Resolved, first that the special
regulations adopted early in the last
session providing for re-organiza-
tion of these companies are hereby
revoked; second, That these special
military companies are hereby abol-
ished: third, That in the future no
whose purpose is social
or semi-social or whose members are
on a basis Of social fitness
shall be allowed to be organized or
permitted to exist in this Institution;
fourth, That the President and the
Discipline committee of the faculty Of
Mississippi A. & NJ. College are here
by instructed and empowered to en-
force these resolutions by Furnishing
violations thereof with dismissal, or
such other penalty as may in their
Judgment be wise and just"

BIG TRUCK WHEEL
ROLLS 100 FEET AND
SMASHES A WINDOW

Rolling for more than one
hundred feet down the pavement
on Main street a big truck wheel
smashed into the Il. Z. Leigh
store plate glass window yester-
day, doing extensive damage to
plate glass.
A large truck belonging to the
Lowndes Motor Car Company
was coming down Main between
Fourth and Fifth streets, when
the left front wheel broke off.
Rolling down the street, itN
bumped up a twO-step curb and
hit the plate glass window in the
Leigh store.
The wheel was accelerated by
the speed of the car, and took a
semi-circular course.
A number of people witnessed
the accident, but no one thought
to stop the wheel, not thinking
it had sufficient momentum to
mount the sidewalk and crash
into a window.

PEOPLE URGED
TO ASSIST IN
CLEANING UP


/ The civic committee Of the Womans
Club, Of which Mrs. Battle Bell is
chairman, Mrs, Louise Landrum vice.
chairman Mrs. VIM. Baldwin seere-
tary and Mrs. S. B. Sehwab, treasurer,
has been unremittng in it's efforts TO
keep the interest and the activities Of
the householders keenly alive to the
necessity for constant attention to
their yards and lots in order to carry
out the proposed plans for City
Beautiful.
As summer advances the menace to
health, cleanliness and sightlness,
lies in rank growth Of weeds that
overhang garden fences and the edges
of vacant lots. A little work each
day with "A grass blade would soon
destroy these evidences Of neglect,
and would add materially to the looks
Of the side walks and the comfort Of
pedestrians.
So far the work accomplished this
year in civic improvement has ben
most satisfactory Commendable
pride in front and back premises has
been stimulated; and uptown park
way has been developed as far as a
late season would permit; no longer
are garbage cans Objectionable orua-
mants along side streets. and now the
question Of ridding the city Of weeds
is consuming their earnest effort.
Therefore they are pleading that
every householder take up the matter
Of weed eradication and join with the
city in its crusade against the
abomination.
As much As the Civic Committee
has done. it would have been prac-
tically helpless without the approval
and cooperation of the City Govern
ment. which has courteously and lib
orally extended at all times, and in
addition. the Chamber Of Commerce,
also has contributed its active influ-
ences a. well as its financial help.
Now the committee begs that the
good work be kept going in an en-
deavor toward preserving Order
Clenlincss and Beauty" in our city.

HE KEPT
INCREASINGLY
AT 1T.

One Of The most per-
sistent advertisers in The
history Of success was
Robinson Crusoe. He
knew what he wanted-a
ship-and he put cp an ad.
for one. He flung a shirt
on a pole at the top Of his
island; that, in the Lam
guage Of the sea, was
plain to every sea faring
man.
The circulation was
small-there was no other
medium-but Crusoe kept
at it despite the fact that
he got no inquiries for a
long time. He changed
his copy-as one garment
after another was frayed
out-and IN the end got
what he wanted.
Suppose Crusoc had
taken down that signal
after a time and declared
that advertising doesn't
pay" Where would he
and mis- story be now?
Put Up your signal and
keep it there. Crusoe adj
vertised under very dis
eouraging circumstances.
You've got q sure thing.

ence and pluck Of Robin
