MORRIS HIGH ANNEXES
SUB-DISTRICT TITLE
Herman Quintet Drops Extra Period
Contest To Locals On Aggie
Floor 22-18.

In an extra five-minute period, fol-
lowing an exciting and hard fought
II to II battle with the Herman high
school quintet, the Morris high school
basketball team Gagged two baskets
and free throw for 20 to 18 vic
tory and the sub-district champion
ship on the West Central School of
Agriculture gymnasium floor last

half with Herman leading by a 8 to
Z score at the opening of the ten
minute recess. The locals came back
during the second half and made the
score II to II before the final whistle

throughout and Gagged two field bas-
kets and a free throw while Herman
was negotiating one successful free
throw. The win brought the sub
district title to the Morris high
school. -. ,-.s
The ability of Ness to make good
free throws was largely accountable
for the victory Of the Morris crew,
as the Herman athletes shot one more
field basket than did the locals but
in ten attempts to cage the ball from
the foul line only two were success
ful while the local player made eight
out of 13 trys.

the leading basket-shooter from the
floor with Ave successful shots while

two-point heaves. CosgroVe shot two
for Norris and Ness one besides Sc

FRANCE WILL GET PAINTING
Valuable Work Of Art, Long Lost Is
Soon to Be Returned to
That Country.

A rare French painting discovered
In England, where 1t has been hidten
in dusty cellars for at least two GEN.
turtles, will be taken back to the
Louvre soon, thanks to the generosity
Of the Society of French Art Lovers.
It is the famous painting by Nicolas
Poussin, called "The Funeral Of
Phocion," the celebrated Athenian
statesman and general who command
ed the left wing Of the Athenian feet
In the sea fight with the Spartans off
Naxos in B. G. 376, and who was put
to death in B. G. 317 on false charge
of treason. Poussin painted the pic
ture In the middle Of the Seventeenth
century for a Paris nobleman. Since
100 it's whereabouts have been un-
known. 1t was reported recently that
several Poussins were for sale by a
descendant Of a former proprietor in
Guernsey, and when the collection was
cleaned and appraised one of the time
worn canvases proved to be the miss
ing "Phocion." It Is considered the
finest example of French art Of the
Seventeenth century.

Scrap Book
MAY HAVE ToLTEc TREAsU..E
French ArcheoIooist Said to Have
Taken Enornoes Fortune From
Tomb Of Ancient King.

Students of archaeology and kindred
subjects in Mexico are deeply inter-
ested In q remarkable story which
comes from Colima, the capital Of the
state Of that name, which borders
Jalisc0.
According to the story, the French
archeologist, Count Brisac de Saint
Denis, while doing research work In
Mexico In 1910, came upon the tomb
Of an ancient >Toltec king near the
town Of Comala, situated a short dis
lance from Colima.
It is circumstantially asserted In nar-
rating this tale that In this tomb,
along with the mummified body Of the
king, were dazzling collection OF
pearls, opals and gold dust Of an esti-
mated value of $10,0O0,000. 1t Is stated
that the count was able to get all this
enormous fortune out Of the country
and that 1t made him Independently
wealthy.
An investigation Of the strange re-
port is to be made by Mexican ar
cheologists. Beyond the fact that It Is
well-known that the count really did
spend some time In Investigating the
ancient ruins Of q prehistoric race
near Comala, there Is no authentic
public knowledge here that he made
any such discovery.-New York World.

PROGRESS MADE IN AVIATION
Records Show That the United States
Is More Than Holding Its Own
In Aerial Travel.

During the year 1921 the use Of air
craft for civilian transportation In
creased 20 per cent over the previous
year, according to report forwarded
to the Department Of Commerce by the
Aeronautical Chamber Of Commerce
of America.
The reports shows that throughout
the country 1900 civilian airplanes
were in operation during the year, and
they carried approximately 275,OOO
passengers total distance of 100000
miles. These figures, according to the
report, are based upon authenticated
returns received by the aeronautical
chamber from all sections of the
country "and tend to prove that Ameri-
ca is holding her own in the air, as far
as individual effort and accomplish
ment are concerned
Every phase of aviation is covered
In the report, including the various
records made during the year. Among
the outstanding civilian achievements
is that Of the aerial mail, which ''in
1921 made such record for efficiency
ON the transcontinental route that 1t Is
recognized as model for civilian
aerial transport the world over" the
report says. Letters have been de-
livered in New York two days after
casual mailing on the Pacific coast"
it continues. 1.-THE service has an av-
erage of 1882 per cent efficiency, that
is, in completed trips on scheduled
time since it was started in May, 1913.
'sThe air mail has during the last
year completed its wireless communi-
cation system, the Ia stations now
having radio plants, three operated
by the navy department and the others
by the air mail service"

JEWEL BOX BURGLAR PROOF
vaIuables May Be Accounted Safe
When Placed Within This Up
& to-Date Receptacle.

Among the newest things that in
ventors have given us in the last few
months is a box that comes as near to
being burglar proof as it is possible
to imagine. 1t looks like an ordinary
steel box with a KeyhOle in it's side.
But just lift it or move it and loud
alarm bell begins to ring inside 1t.
This bell, keeps on ringing for five
hours and it cannot be stopped with
out unlocking the box.
A burglar might carry off the box,
but its alarm would keep on ringing
and would give him away before he
could get it to a place Of safety. Ii
he touches it. even stumbles against
it, the alarm will arouse the house
hold, for the slightest movement suf-
fees to set it ringingy This is also
true of the dishonest servant.
The owner can, however, open and
close the box at will, as he has the
key. . And the only way in which he
can be robbed is by some thief steal
ing the key before tampering with the
box.
This safe is arranged inside with
trays for small articles, money and
jewelry. and. with space under them
for securities, such as bonds and
mortgages. The whole is made of
seamless steel, nickel-plated, with a
piano hinge and strong double lock.
There are no duplicate keys. nor is
there a master key that will open it..

DISAGREE on Derivation.

Some rather far-fetched explanations
are being given as to the derivation Of
the English term $50 longl" uttered
when parting. The Dictionary Of
Passing English of the Victorian Era"
says it is a corruption Of the Jewish
word "selah," used in the Whitechapel
district of London as form Of good
by. Equally curious is the statement
that it may be form Of ''salaam," the
eastern salutation Of peace.

BULL MOOSE MOVES QUIETLY
Nature Aids Forest Monarch to Evade
Enemies-Hunters Sometimes
Z Take Unfair Advantage.

Although taller than an ordinary
horse, weighing more than half ton,
and adorned with widespreading ant
lers, the bull moose stalks with ghost
ly silence through the thickest forests,
where man can scarcely move without
being betrayed by the loud cracking
of dry twigs.
In summer the moose loves low-lying,
swampy forests, interspread with shall
low lakes and sluggish streams. In
such places it often wades up to its
neck i'll lake to feed on succulent
water plants, and when reaching to
the bottom becomes entirely sub
mefged. These visits to the water are
sometimes by day, but usually by night,
especially during the season when the
calves are young and the horns of the
bulls are but partly grown.
Late in the autumn, with full-grown
antlers, the bulls wander through the
at times uttering far-reaching cries
and calls of defiance to their RI
! walls, and occasionally clashing
their horns against the saplings in
the exuberance Of masterful vigor.
Other bulls at times accept the
challenge. and hasten to meet the
rival for battle royal At this sea-
son the call of the COW moose also
brings the nearest bulls quickly'to her
side. Hunters take advantage of this,
and by initiating the call through a
birchbark trumpet bring the most ag-
gressive bulls down.

Copiah Cotton Now
In For The Season

Hazlehurst, Miss.-The cotton crop
of Copiah county is about all har-
vested, according to the latest sta
tistics from the ginners who say that
practically 80 per cent of the crop
has been, ginned to date. Hazlehurst
to date has handled 1872 bales of
the staple and Wesson is the other
town of the county that handles a
large portion of the crop. A great
part of the crop is raised in south
ern Copiah, whereas middle and nor
thern Copiah raises mostly vegeta-
bles. AS now indicated the crop will
be about $500 bales, which was the
total crop for last season. The sta
pie has been producing much bet
ter than in former years. John R.
Middleton made 2S bales on SO ac-
res of land, which is a good aver
age, in fact, much better than be-
fore the weevil infested the coun-
ty. Some farmers have made a bale
to the acre, the largest planter to
average that being Wesley Mathis OF
northeastern Copiah. The staple has
been selling for as high as 21 cents
and today is 1914 cents per pound
The good prices obtained are caus-
ing many farmers to prepare foI
planting cotton next year.
