Adventure.

Some men 80 round about the world
And though, by splendid chance,
Through war aud love and haze they're
hurled,
They never sense Romans;
Their lives are melodrama sheer,
Tense with both good and III,
And yet they play from year to year
And feel no throb or thrill,
And other men live quite lives
Yet greet each newborn day
AS brave adventure that arrives
Accounted for the fray;
And so in every new event
However dull or small,
They find strange magic evident
With glamour over all,
All true Adventures In the heart
Which gains warmer glow
From every touch life may impart
OF action, swift or slow:
I'd rather play hundrum game
Which made my spirit flare
Than move through battle, Hood @n,

Premium Taxes Come
Before Penalty Bill

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 8.-Chancel-
lor Stricken has given judgment in
favor of 7. M. Henry, insurance COM
missioner and Attorney General
Frank Robertson in the intervention
suit they filed in the fire insurance
case, claiming the right to collect the
premium taxes due by the companies
to the state for the year 1920.
Both the insurance commissioner
and the revenue agent sued for these
taxes, the latter filing suit first after
the taxes became delinquent. The
companies refused to pay the taxes
unless they weer deducted from the
garnisheed funds held by the receiv-
ers. This latter question has not
been finally settled by the chancellor
although he originally indicated that
the taxes were lien upon the gar
nisheed funds.
This question will be appealed to
the supreme court along with the
other questions to be decided in the
main case.

is as follows:
ITO the People Of Mississippi:
Whereas, a conference on the
limitation of armament has been
called by Honorable Warren G.
Harding, president of the United

G. on November II, Armistice Day,
and
whereas, the God-fearing people
of the world are looking forward
with great hope that tangible results
will be worked out by this body Of
men to the end that the people of
the world may be relieved Of the
enormous and unnecessary burdens
of taxation now required of them in
maintaining the army and navy Of
the world, and
Whereas the church people Of the
world have for centuries been yearn-
ing and praying for peace on earth
and good will to men and firmly be-
lieving in the efficacy Of prayer,
am pleased to set apart and proclaim
Sunday, November s, 1921, as spe-
cial day of prayer. sincerely hope
that the people of our state will
meet together in their usual places
of worship on this day and humbly
pray to Almighty God for His bless
ings and guidance on the work Of
this conference. 1t will be suit
able time to mediate upon the sac
rifces of our countrymen in the re-
cent great war and to venerate the
memory of our heroes who died or
were wounded in this great cause,
and to dedicate ourselves collective
ly and severally to the achievement
of international justice and good
will, which are essential to any real
reduction of armament and the at
tainment of permanent peace"
