Little we thought, in days of yore,
When our frail barks the shore,
That many. yea many, on ites voyage bent
Would sail far away and there find content.
But some must 60 and must stay;
In fact it's always been that way
And we who left i'm the old home town,
Where sit each day while the suns going down,
Would be ingraes indeed if we failed to respond
To the dear kind words of brunette and Blonde
There are blondes and blondes then strawberry Blondes
And tiS TO dear old Ira. the blondeSt of blondes,
At least he such in the days of yore
Before from his lips there began to pour
Poetry and AIirth and Wisdom galore.
Yes. Ira s to YOU indite
As sit by freside this long winters night
These hatng words of appreciation and praise
For the part that YOU PLAYED I'm the glorious days
OF Birthday Party which all did amaze.
You came ike a bolt from heavens blue,
And your smile bright and your words rang true;
We proud to say to the of men:
Dear old Ira Is OuTs-OIrS so lend;

To travel earth's pathway to and fro;
But he. my friend is 'to the manor born
And If dark be the Way-the path fOrlOru-

SOLDIER SPEAK FOR
PEACE
AT ARMS MEETING
Secretary Hughes Springs Sur
prise In Statement OF Amer
ica's Position On Disarma-
ment Question.

Writing to the Dispatch, from
Washington, d. c., under date Of Nov
ember 18th, Congressman John f.
Rankin says:
These are eventful days for Wash
ington. Things are happening so
thick and fast" that we can hardly
keep pace with the procession.
The most powerful and important
delegate to the Disarmament Confer
ence arrived a few days ago,-the
dead body of an unknown soldier. One
of those countless thousands whose
names disappeared with their bodies
as they went down in the recent con-
test for the military and naval sup
remacy of the world President Hard
ing had to have an amplifyer, radio
service, and telephone and telegraph
wires to make his voice heard through
out the country; but this delegate Of
delegates needed no assistance to
carry the voiceless elOquencc Of his
silent protest against armament and
militaryism throughout the length
and breadth of the land, and to find
a responsive chord at the frcside Of
every American home.
He was accompanied by the worlds
greatest interpreter, the sorrowing
figure of a widowed war mother who
had lost a husband and three stalwart
sons in the recent conflict. and who
had come three thousand miles to
place a wreath upon his bier If there
were those who could not appreciate
his appeal, or who did not realize the
sacrifice he made, they could not have
failed to understand it when they
looked upon her withered form and
saw his message translated into the
terms Of a mothers sacrifice and a
mothers love.
He was given a great reception.

VISITS THE M. S. C. w.
Doctor Rondurant, Doctor Key
And Professor Watkins Here
On Important Mission
Spoke at Chapel Friday.

The faculty and student-body Of M.
S. G. w. have had distinguished guests
during the week in the persons of
Dr. A. l.. Bondurant, of the Univer-
sity of Mississippi, Department Of
Latin; DR.. Key, of Millsaps College,
and Superintendent Watkins, of
Laurel City schools. These gentle
men comprise the personnel of the
State Committee of Southern Asso-
citation of Colleges, and they are here
to inspect the work of the local in
stitution with a view to giving it
recognition as one of the AL colleges
of the country. They have been GO
ing over every detail of the Colleges
organization, famiiarizing themselves
with all its work in its various de-
partments, and getting data that viii
help them to reach decision in their
recommendations to the Southern
Association.
At the chapel exercises on Friday
the distinguished gentlemen were
present, and each made a brief adj
dress, giving his impressions of the
work of the college. and of its place
in the scheme of Mississippi educa

first by President FAINT. He spoke

WAGING WAR ON
BOOTLEGGERS
Mayor And Police Officers De-
tcrmined To Stop Liquor
BUSINESS.

Mayor Glover and Police Chici
Cook have issued challenge to tn,
boot!eggers Of this community. Tn,
municipal administration is dctcrmn.
ed that the retailing Of white
/ light ing in Columbus must be stop
ped. BY continually keeping an eye
on suspects and old offenders and
by making the punishment fit the
crime, the officers believe that in the
course Of a few months they will be
able to reduce recalling to a minimum.
During the past week the mayor
has had two boo!lcggers in his court.
Both of them were negro men. One
was an Oh offender Martin Taylor,
who is old enough to know how to be-
have himself and obey the law. Of
ficcrs Robertson and Foreman search
cd an clubhouse at Martins place and
found several quarts Of white lightn-
ing concealed. The old negro was
brought before Mayor Glover, who
fined him $3.50 and gave him thirty
days on the farm
The o,her negro was John Green
lee, a barber, who was found with
liquor in his possession. 1t is thought
that he carried white lightning" to
his shop, a pint at a time, and sold
it by the drink John had long been
suspected, but this is the first time
the officers could find him with the
goods" He was brought before
Mayor Glover, Wednesday, and was
fined $50 This being his first ar
rest, the mayor let the negro off with
a fine only.
1t is impossible for the officers to be
in all places at The same time, and it
is impossible to arrest and punish all
the bootleggers within the short
space of few weeks or few
but they are not asleep at
the switch in any sense Of the term,
and it ia safe to say that Mayor
Glover and Police Chief Cook will
do what they can to break up retail
ing in Columbus. One of the most
potent influences that was brought to
bear in the enactment of the Eigh-
teenth Amendment to the Constitu-
ton of the United States was the
desire Of the&white people Of the
South to deprive the negro of strong
drink. A great deal Of trouble was
about through the intoxica-
tion of the negro. While the average
black man is easily handled by his
superior, a negro who is half crazed
with liquor is a desperate character
and usually has to be killed or very
treated to bring him to his
Senses Our city officers are doing
what they can to keep the black men
sober. Because of this, they deserve
he praise and support of the people

STARS TO FALL
NEXT SUNDAY
Great MeteOric Shower Predict.
ed When Earth Crosses Path
OF Biela's Comet.

Press dispatches say that the earth
will cross the path Of Bcla's big
comet on November q, and that a
hailstorm Of meteors may menace US.
1t would be mighty unpleasant to
say the least to be bcancd by me-
toor weighing anywhere from five to
fifty tons at moment when you
wasn't looking for anything Of the
sort.
sBeila's comet according to astron-
omers, is just lousy with meteors, so
to speak. We crossed its path in 1872
and it was memorable event. 1t
had made formcr visit in 1876
when it split in two, and the frag
mentj drifted apart.
In 1852, Beila's twins, as they are
called, came back to visit US. BY this
time they were 100000 miles apart
which is some considerable distance.
When the comet visited US in 1872
on the night Of Nov 27, there occur
ed one Of the most remarkable me-
Leoric displays ever witnessed The
rain of shooting stars began at n
o'clock ard lasted until after mid
night. 1t is estimated that fully lG0,-
900 meteoric masses fell into the
earth's atmosphere during the show
,r. They all came from n point in
he sky near the bright star Gramma
If the constellation Andromeda.
In 1885 there was another brilliant

dressed the students in the Washburn

IN reporting.s
FARRELL told the students that their
most effective course was to break in,

influence, pleasure and income, they
should aim at the editorship of coun-
try weeklies, in towns of from $500
to 5000 population.
He invited the students to ask ques-
tons on the points of Journalism in
which they were most interested so
that he might speak to definite pur-
pose.
He issued a special invitation to
Miss Fay Gilbert of Topeka, one of the
members of the class. Miss Gilbert
pondered only briefly as to what phase
of journalism most interested her. -
