One way to find out whether a man or a girl has a good memory is to give him or her something important to remember, and note the results. Some times the resultant forgetting proves expensive.

"OLE MISS WINS EASILY.

Oxford, Miss, Oct. 15.-University
of Mississippi won an easy victory
over Millsaps College eleven here to-
day, the score being 40 to 0. In the
first quarters Millsaps put up hard
fight, Mississippi scoring only one
touchdown. In the last period Missis-
sippi put in number of their second
and third string men. In the first
period, by using an overhead attack
the visitors were able to reach Missis-
sippi's five yard line, but after that
theri goal was never in danger and

Kentucky GoOer1,or
For Better Schools
Many Rural Buildings Are Poorly
Equipped;> Teachers Get Mere
Pittance.

Washington, Oct. 13.9he gov
ernor of Kentucky, in an address
recently before gathering of peo-
pie of all political faiths at Louis
vile, for the purpose Of fittingly
starting campaign to put over two
amendments looking to >the elimln-
alton Of politics from the election
Of the state school superintendent,
and the making possible Of more
generous financial provision for the
proper counties in that state, said
the movement was dedicated ito
sh4 cause of Kentucky's greatest
asset-its childhood"
Continuing the governor pointed
out that there are in Kentucky
hundreds of school buildings worth
less than $3.50, many without desks
or seats with backs for the pupils;
than thousands Of the schools are
not provided with sanitary closets,
and many with no closets whatever,
while hundreds of Kentucky school
teachers are paid less than $75 a
month.
Patriotic Support Needed.
The situation pictured by Governor
Morrow as to Kentucky schools
may or may not apply to other
states, but, according to federal
school authorities, the situation in
far too many states, as to the rural
schools particularly, is shocking and
calls loudly for improvement while
the situation in many cities, large
and small lis discouraging to those
charge of the schools.
A careful observer of school con-
ditions ventures the suggestion that
the call to the public to rally back
of the schools should make an ap-
peal as strong and as insistent as
that which asked for support for the
sale of bonds during the war. The
result 0 fthe action in November on
the proposed school amendment in
Kentucky doubtless will be watched
with interest by residents of other
states, as indicating the changing
sentiment in favor of more and bet
ter schools, or a fixed indifference to
the condition of the schools and the
children in whose interest they are
conducted.

COSTS EDUCATION
TO FIRE GUN, SAID

State College, Pa, Oct. 15.--Gov.
William G. Sproul, in an address here
last night, made plea for disarn,a-
ment, declaring that single shot of a
big gun at the Aberdeen proving
grounds would send boy and girl
throug the tate's free educational sys-
tenn from the primary grade to a col
legiate degree.
sIsn't it time that we stop such
sinful, criminal waste? 2" asked the
governor. 'On the eve of the dis
armament conference let US all
unite to uphold the policy that will
relieve us of this awful extrava-
gance. Let US make our fortifica-
tons in the hearts and souls of our
people, not in wasteful armament.
The forty million dollar cost of a
single battleship would provide a

RATES NOT UNJUST
Railways Advised by 1. C. C. to
"VOluntarily Adjust"
Livestock Shippers Declared
Santa Fe Scale Too High.

Washington, Aug. 15.-Freight
rates on livestock in western and
mountain Pacific territory were found
by the interstate commerce commits
sion today to be not unjust and unrea-
sonable. but the commission suggest
ed to the railroads that the present
rates should be reduced to 80 per cent
of the present rates, the reduction to
to be less than SO cents hundred
pounds '.--
The complaint was brought by the
National Livestock Shippers league
and other CARNATIONS of stockmen
against the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe and other carriers. A readjustment
of individual rates was nat asked, but
blanket reduction was sought, based
primarily on economic consideration,
the contention being that it is impos-
sible for the livestock industry to
thrive under the present rates and
that they tend to injure business
generally.
The complaints did not seek reduc-
ton in the rates on the ground that
it would substantially increase the
present movement of livestock, but on
the plea that it would stimulate the
industry and enable it more quickly
to recoup its losses and help to save it
from ruin.
The commission pointed out that
emergency reductions in freight rates
were made in May. 1921, and are still
effective in rates on stock on ranges
of the southwest to pastures in the
north and east. These reductions
eliminated the entire increase made by
the commission in 1920, and have re-
suited in rates in no case more than
4 cents a hundred pounds higher than
in pre-war years. the commission
stated. The commission said there is
nothing to show that these reductions
have materially increased the move
ment of stock animals: on the con-
trary. this movement has apparently
been lighter this season than in former
years.
The commission in its decision
pointed out the difficulties under
which the railroads are operating
