full lifting jack, the invention of
Tennessee man, which comprises
about all that could be desired in such
a small appliance. 1t is designed for
use upon wagons and the like, and is
readily adapted because of the great
power incident to the structural ar
rangement OF the parts for extracting
posts, stumps or doing work of SINH
lar character. In this jack the usual
standard and base are provided Upon
the top of the standard is a small han
die to be grasped in supporting the
jack when 1t is being operated. The
hosting means consists of a movable
head sliding vertically in the stan
dard.
Below the head is runner, also
movable on the standard, lifting bar
connecting the head and the runner,
both being operated by means of a
bell-shaped lever. On the bar con-
Meeting the head and the runner is an
chet mechanism in the runner. BY
pressing the lever downward the bar
is forced out from the notch of the
ratchet, to which ii is caught, until it
Is far enough released to grasp the
notch next above, the head being firm
ly secured by an attachment directly
underneath the lever. This apparatus
can also be used for stretching wires
or accomplishing similar function.

VIII Willing, Wind Weak.

Mayor Story, of Atlantic City, was
condemning those Menhaden fisher
men who dredge the Atlantic at points
Illegally near the shore for fish that
is only used for fertilizer. At the
same time the Mayor pointed out the
difficulty of catching and Furnishing
these fishermen. He said:
"On account Of the sinful waste of
good fish that they cause, we would be
only too glad to prosecute these men,
but the means to detect and identify
them are not often at hand. We have
the will but not the power to punish.
We are like the trumpeter in an At
lantic City band.
"This man, a native Of Germany,
was practicing one night a trumpet
obligato, but he did not play anything
like loud enough.
Louder, louder said the leader.
"And the trumpeter r%edoubled his
efforts,
"Louder, louder
"And he put on still more steam.
"Iouder, louder, louder!'
''The trumpeter banged down his
trumpet and glared at the leader with
eyes that started from their sockets.

to say louder, louder" but var ISIS

MISSISSIPPI FIRE INSURANCE
An Interesting andinstructive Ar
tic o from the Pen of MIR. p. c..
Campbell.

If there is one thing the people of
Mississippi should look to, look aft
er. foster and encourage it is fire In
surance companies which are owned
and controlled by our own home peo-
pie. We now have in this state three
well-organized, weIl-officered ana
Mell-managed fire insurance compa-
MES, the Mississippi Home, the old
est in the state, at Vichsburg; the
Merchants Union, of Meridian, and
our own company here in Jackson, the
Mississippi Fire Association. AS the
matter now stands, the fire insurance
business of Mississippi is practically
owned and dominated by outsiders,
people away from home, most OF
whom have never been in the state
and many of whom do know tnat
there is such a thriving city as jack
son. Since Hon. w. @. Cole has been
insurance commissioner he has kept
strict account of all kinds of insur-
ance transacted in the state, and each
year he prepares a statement showing
the result of the business reported to
him by the various companies. BY
reference to his records, it will be
shown that during the three years.
1902, 1903 and 1904, the various fire
insurance companies doing business in
Mississippi have taken in in premiums
Sc, 1908, 219.S6, and that of this amount
$500, 194.S3 was paid to foreign
companies and $~641,024.03 to our
home companies. The foreign COM
panies have paid back to us in this
period $3,S37, 975.49 in the way of
fire losses. and our home companies
have paid to our people at home,
of the peoples own none which we
have kept here, $339,575.30 for fire
losses. Much of the money which
we have paid to foreign insurance
companies might have been, and
should have been kept here at home
instead of being SEN to New York,
Hartford and other places east. Ii
should be kept here in our own
banks, trust companies, building and
loan associations and like institutions.
PatroniZe and encourage our compa-
MES here at home. They are good
and solvent, and but for the confia-
grations at Yazoo City and McComb
City each of them would nave shown
a handsome profit as a result of the
three years referred to, and thers
seems to be no good reason why our
Mississippi people should refuse or
decline to build up our home compa-
nies, instead of sending their money
out of the state, much of which goes
to. people who have no interest in
us except to encourage us to feed
the COW" in Mississippi and let them
milk her in the east. Let's bring
about a change. Turn the COW
around; stop feeding it and get one
Of your own which you can both
feed and milk here at home. Insure
your property with your Mississippi
companies. The state is growing and
expanding in every way, and there is
no reason for our refusing to build
up cur fire insurance companies here
at hOrne.-Jackson News.
