the present year will see a great in
crease in the number in Mississippi.

slsslppi did not appreciate what the
rural routes meant to them, but
they are now warming up 10 a full
realization of the great importance
OF these routes, and are freely petit

complaint that cooks are exceeding
ly scarce, and that they are getting
scarcer each year. This condition
prevails in nearly every community.

the fact that the negro men are
making more money than they have
ever made before, and that the ne-
gro women do not find it Necessary
to work. This is probably a solu-
ton of the trouble.
