SPECIAL MATINEE
FOR EAST RELIEF
Matinee Saturday Morning at Princess
Theater at Ten O'Clock.

+ - -.
~ you know that $500 900 helpless
little children are starving just beyond
the Atlantic, starving for the want Of
enough plain bread to keep life in their
thin little bodies, until the next har-
vest, and that it is through no fault Of
these little souls that they are in this
terrible plight, while we on this side
are blessed with even the luxuries Of
life. Can we do less than give freely
that they may live?
The motion picture industry Of the
United States has pledged itself to
save 100000 of these little tots. They
have promised Mr.. Hoover that they
would turn over to him $2,500,0O0, and
they will exceed that amount by good
sum. This will be done by and with the
help Of each community in the coun-
try. The good people of Columbus
will give their proportionate share by
packing the Princess Theatre to the
doors on Saturday morning, and they
will give as much as they can spare.
In return, Mr.. Kuykendall promises
good show, and every cent taken in
will be forwarded Immediately to the
proper place. 1t is suggested that the
children bring a minimum of % cents.
Could you give ii for a better cause?

PULLEN SELECTED
MASTER MECHANIC.
Many Changes in Personnel Of
Southern Railway Forces.
Policy of Retrenchment.

Many changes in the personnel Of
the shop and mechanical forces of the
Southern Railway and the Columbus
and Greenville railroads were effect
ed Monday morning.
Mr.. t. M. Pullen, general foreman
of the shops, was promoted to the
position of Master Mechanic and NJ
G. Dempster, master mechanic for
several years, was transferred to
jackson, Tenn, as general foreman
of the shops at that place.
The position of car foreman was
abolished and Mr.. ]. f. Nicks was
placed in the position Of foreman of
the shops. 1t is also understood that
positions held by Mr.. Il. G. Croker
and Mr.. William Horton were aboli-
shed.
The changes came along in line
with the company's policy of re-
trenchment and the reduction of op-
Grating and maintenance expenses.
1t is stated that the railroads have
been forced to this policy on account
of increasing costs in labor and OPP
Grating expenses, and the falling off
Of business.
1t is expected that other changes
will be made in the near future af-
fecting the Mobile and Ohio forces,
but no official statement to this ef-
feet was made or even intimated.

MAYOR PUTS END
TO DUST DEMON
Issues Order for Street Sprink.
ling Sunday Morning.-The
People Are Grateful.

The progressive spirit Of Mayor
Glover found expression Sunday
morning in his executive order pro-
viding for The si,imkling Of Tho
streets Of the city.
The dust devil had become men
ace to the health of the community,
and the city had been for three days
swathed in cloak of dust, and Mayor
Glover relieved the situation Sunday
morning by ordering the sprinkling
department to sprinkle the streets.
"While the cost of out-of-season
sprinkling is about SIC a day | be-
lieve the people will gladly approve
my action and that the city council
will likewise approve IT," said Mayor
Glover.
Under the city's contract with the
sprinkling department only the bust
ness district of the city is sprinKled
during the months Of December. Jan
uaiy and February. Under normal
weather conditions the dust would not
have been as bad as it was the past
week. 1t was an emergency case and
the Mayor is to be commended on his
action in relieving the situation.
People were beginning to suffe, the
i'll effects of the dust; colds were de-
veloping and the situation was De.
coming almost unbearable. Clouds
Of dust lowered all over the city; in
the homes and in the offices anC
stores in the business district one
could easily write his name ON the
tables, counters and desks.
Mayor Glover says the sprinklint
will be continued as it is needed iron
time to time, and a situation which
was a grave one and which was
menace to the health of the commun
ity has been relieved, and for it tn
people are indeed grateful.

SIX, DAYS TO PAY
TAXES INJURY

There are only six days remaining
in which to pay your taxes, and only
five days in which to pay your auto
mobile tax.
SO you had better hurry around to
the city hall and to the court house
and leave check with Mr.. Vandiver
and Sheriff West.
People have been a little slow in
meeting their tax obligations. Only
little more than half of the taxes
ale paid, it is estimated, and there
will be much crowding All hurrying
irr the ZEN ainder of the people to
settle for their taxes.
Pay your taxes early in the day
and early in the week.

SCHOOL TO CONTINUE

The Woodlawn school which was
burned to the ground last Saturday
will continue in session ac-
cordmg to action taken by the trus-
tees of the school and the patrons at
meeting held Monday.
It was decided to utilize nearby
buildings for school purposes until a
new building can be erected
The theory that the school building
was burned by an incendiary is still
uppermost in the minds of the peo-
pie of the community, but no clue as
to the guilty party has been develop
ed.
In a characteristic spirit of prog
ressiveness the people are going
about the business of supplying ;
school for the remainder of the SEES
sion.
