The question of better roads still

man will admit that better roads are
needed but strange to say, few are
ready to offer suggestions of a feast

hibitory cost. Unfortunately, the
state is almost without stone for
building roads as has our sister state
of Alabama, and a substance for sur
facing is expensive and hard to find.

has recently purchased five thousand
trees from the Cassell nursery at Can
ton, which he expects to transplant
to his Biloxi farm some time in Janu-
airy. These trees are already one year
old and will begin bearing the second
year after planting. The yield will
at first be small, but the average for
the sixth year is 65 pounds to the tree
and the orchard will grow better as

from four to six cents per pound and
the canneries cannot supply the de-
mand for it."

Section % in Machinery Hall at
the st. Louis Fair should be of es-
pecial interest to Mississippians. At
this point will be displayed an exhib-
1t from the state s greatest machinery
manufacturing plant, the w. T. Ad-
ans Machine Co., Of Corinth. 1t is
said to be the most complete exhibit
of engines, boilers, saw mill and GIN
ming machinery ever put before the
public by a southern manufacturer.
Mr. Adams went to Corinth twenty
five years ago with but little money
and established the neuclus of the
enormous plant which he now owns
and operates. This company will
soon celebrate its 25th anniversary.
Possessed with an unusual amount of
energy, enterprise and faith in the
south, he began work, and has lived
to see his the largest and most sue
cessful machinery manufacturing bus
mess in the south and he is still COM
paratively a young man. Several
hundred artisans are employed at
good wages and the benefit to Corinth
and the surrounding country is hard
to compute. 1t has proven a stimu-
lus to others in the manufacturing
business there, and now Corinth has
a larger interest of this kind than
any other town in the state. A cor
dial invitation is extended every Mis-
sissippian who attends the Fair to call
at section % and inspect this exhibit.
And at the same time, think of this
as an example of what push and
brains will do for man in our be-
Ioved state. At no place in the union
is there such a premium on these
sterling qualities.

WAR MORTALITY
Congress Discusses a
Vital Subject.

The International Congress Of Ac-
tuaries, recently held in New York
City, has aroused great interest in So
cial, financial and commercial circles.
Life insurance touches practical at
fairs under such a variety of aspects
that no learned assembly such as this
could meet to discuss it's theories and
practices without giving to the world
at large a goodly quota Of facts and
oDinions, The more interesting OF
these have been conveniently summed
up by Mr.. John Tatlock of New York,
Secretary Of the Congress and Assoc1a-
ate Actuary Of The Mutual Life IN
s,1rance Company, in an instructive re-
port. Mr. Tatlock, among other
things, called attention to the subject
of War Mortality, giving conclu-
sions reached by British, Japanese
and American experts. He quoted MT.
Schooling of the Prudential Assurance
Company of London, who found that
in the South African war. as was to be
expected, the mortality OF olllcels ?
from wounds was greatly in excess OF
that experienced by the men, While
their mortality from disease was con-
siderably less. Mr.. Schooling's paper
dealt only with cases of actual deatn
and did not touch upon the more dill
! cult and hardly less important rlsk
of deterioration of lives Insured; lives
not lost on the UdtIlC1lC1u' iioA
away in the hospital, but impaired p9
the exigencies of services and the un'
healthy, condition of camp life. The
future mortality Of such lives shoulc
not he thinks, be provided Tor Win
out an extra charge, at least equal II
amount to that necessary to cover tht
actual risk of field service during
l period of extended hostilities. On thu
.|subiect Mr.. Sehida Of Japan also con
ltributed a paper dealing with the NOR
1 talfty of sCtf1ea Chinese-Japanese wal
noted for it's terrible carnage both OF
sea and land. Mr.: Ham, of the Eqult
