With Each Other

]
! Saturday witnessed the annual ath-
letic rally Of the several classes Of
the parish high and graded schools.
This year it was held in Opelousas
and so large was the crowd that it
was necessary to stage the festivities
on the old WaIlior race coure, just
east of the city limits. There were
visitors from Washington, Eunfee,
Sunset and other places and the en-
thusiasm of the contestants, as well
as their respective rooters, showed
the proper spirit, and when the rally
closed, in the late afternoon, every
one went home satisfied with the out
come of the day and with the deter
mination to make next years rally
even greater than that of 1921.
A resume of the events staged Sat
urday has been furnished this newspa'
per by Mr.. Mendoza, who always
like the teachers of the several
schools, takes a deep interest in these
annual events. AS furnished to u'

however, acquitted, owing to lack Of
evidence, and Clay, Cornelius and
Brockie took them back by way Of
Herschel island and the Arctic to Coro-
nation gulf, where the two were al
lowed to rejoin their tribes.
Corporal Cornelius says that the
trial Of the four Eskimos had had an
excellent effect on the general con-
duct Of the tribes as a whole, while
conduct of the four principals has been
most exemplary. Kayugana and Ko-
muk were seen several times on later
patrols, their bands being usually
found on the ice at the head of the
Coppermine river. and each time the
patrol received a warn welcome.
Despite their years of isolation and
hardships both Corporal Cornelius and
Constable Brockie are looking forward
to a return to the North in the neal
future. They will now enjoy a well
earned holiday. and both are leaving
at once for their respective homes,
Cornelius going to Halifax and Brockie
to Winnipeg.

New York.-AmOng the less notice
taken place in the business world in
the last few years has been the grad
ual disappearance OF codes in connec-
ton with price tickets and the mark
ing of the values of the merchandise
in plain figures. While many concerns
still stick to pricing their lines in code,
the trade leaders have very largely
abandoned the practice. Smaller con-
Germs have followed suit to some eN-
tent, but others have been loath to
put plain. figures on their goods.
The change from code to figures in
marking prices, according to informa-
ton gained in this market, has beer
forced to some extent by the buyers.
There are many retailers and special
buyers for the big stores who will not

such buyer gave recently for this is
that the code Ices mo- mean the same
to all buyers when translated into fig

tive use of a code is merely a Subter-
fuge by means of which different buy
ers can be charged different prices for
the same merchandise without their
knowing it.

Two Years in WiIds.
In 1917 Corporal Cornelius was
joined by Constable Brockie and the
two set out for Herschel island where
they spent two years with frequent
patrols In the far corners of the ul,-
charted wilds. Their next move was
along the shores of the Arctic to Coro-
nation gulf, a dog-sled trip of some 800
miles. where another two years were
passed in patrols to Bathurst inlet,
Kent peninsula. All points on the
south and west sides of Victoria island
