The governor Of Kentucky has no.
titled the War Department that as the
State Militia is about to go into
camp of their own this summer, il
will not be feasible to send any of the
guard to join the regulars in the en-
campment at Indianapolis. Orders:
have been given for the infantry troops
to be ready to march from their pres
ent stations to the four great camp:
by July 15. The infantry will make
the journey afoot where the distance
from their stations to camp does not
exceed $50 miles, and the cavalry will
ride where the distance is under 300
miles. Beyond these distances the
soldiers will 60 entrain. 1t is said at
the War Department that the coming
joint encampment will see the entire
United States army, except the coast
artillery, under canvas for three
months, which has not been the case
in time of peace before, and important
results are expected from the expe
rience.

The tide of travel is setting across
the Atlantic with unprecedented
strength, according to the number Of
passports issued by the state depart
ment. Last January there were IS
sued passports agggregating 1923, in
February 1049, March 1858, April
2299 and May 1923. These figures
show that the applications for pass
ports have been running about two
hundred per month more than the av.

One OF the most valuble discoveries
that could be made for Mississippians
would be a means Of putting up the ex
eellent syrup so abundantly produced
all over the state without processing
it until you would hardly recognize
in it the old fashioned molasses made
on the common sorghum pan. The
following has been offered by a re-
liable gentleman as a safe and effec-
tive means of handling the syrup, he
stating that there is now in his pos
session molasses three years old that
has not fermented in the least. That
is just as good as when it comes from
the evaporator. Have bottles for
holding the syrup, preferably of quart
size. ready when the crushing season
begins. Place them in receptacle
of water close beside the evaporator
and while boiling hot, pour into the
hot bottle, push cork below top of bot
tie little way and seal with wax.
This is all there is to it. Now il
there are others who see this article
and have tried it with or without sue
cess, let me hear from you. IF not, 1t
is especially desired that it be given
trial at several places in the State
this summer when the crushing season
begins. If you will try it with dozen
ore more bottles of syrup, let the
writer know at once and he will keep
in touch with you and gladly report
the success attained. Would like to
have two or three in the Southern
part of the State with sugar cane
and the same number in Northern
part with sorghum cane If the crop can
be preserved for summer use without
losing its delicious flavor or going
through with fermenting process,
the syrup crops of the State could be
made to bring millions of dollars. No
syrup in the world compares with the
cane syrup made from Louisiana cane
ON common sorghum pan and not far
behind is the molasses made from
sorghum cane. The man who can
furnish a means of keeping it for
summer use will have done a great
service to the people of the State. If
you are at all interested, please let it
be known so that your cooperation
can be depend upon. Every assistance
possible will be given by this depart
ment and general publicity guaran
teed should the means be found.

Mr.. Foss gave the President an out
line of the recent Investigations that
he has made in Europe regarding re-
ciprocity and maximum and mini
mum tariff. He thinks that the devel-
opment In the beef packing business
is bound to hasten some kind Of re-
ciprocity agreement with Germany
and probably with France and Eng
land. He thinks that the foreign con-
sumers of American meats will not
only insist upon rigid inspection cer-
tifcates, but will also ask for recip-
rocal advantages as basis for admis.
sion of American meat products.

THE CITY OF MOBILE.
Business Districts Losc-Populatio1
of 10000.

Mobile lies on the right bank OF the Mobile
River, which half mile below the city enters
Mobile Bay. The city Is about twenty miles
from the Gulf of Mexico.
Stretched along the river front for a mile or
more is the wholesale business district This is
only about ten feet above the river, and in time
Of storm. when the waters back up. It is in
variably flooded.
sloping back from the river front is the retail
business and hotel district, and back of this. on
Slight hills, the residence district Every few
years the river front is inundated. Storms in
the Gulf pile up the waters OF the bay. which.
twenty miles long by fifteen wide. Is only fifteen
feet deep, and this in turn backs into the river.
Never before, however. has there been storm
that destroyed the buildings along the river. In
the business district the buildings are substan-
TALLY built of brick and stone. and in the last
ten years. the period of Mobiles greatest de-
velopment six and eight story structures have
been built.
The town is picturesque. with its many huge
oaks and magnolias, and the residence district
on the hills is beautiful. A trolley system has
aided In the development of outlying parts.
The population is 10000. with 10000 more In
the environs.
Mobile was originally an old Spanish settle
ment, as New Orleans was French. 1t is one of
four principal export ports for cotton Minerals
and lumber are largely exported. It is the chief
port of entry for the tropical fruit trade Of the
Middle South. Fruit vessels reach there in a
day less than is necessary to so 10 New Orleans.
The government in recent years has provided
twenty-five foot channel into Mobile, which has
vastly increased commerce. Values In the city
have trebled It is said. IN the last ten years.
Three important railroads.&c. Mobile & Ohio,
the Southern and the Louisville & Nashville
enter Mobile There are several smaller lines.
Much apprehension is felt for the persons who
have summer cottages along both shores Of the
bay. The season is just closing. and many are
still IN these places. which were exposed to the
full force of the gale
Where the bay debouches into the Gulf Fort
Morgan a first class fort, stands. Nearby along
the low lying shores fisher folk live and ply

DAMAGE ALONG GULF.
No Loss of Life Reported to Ne5U

New Orleans Sept. 2S.-The escape of one
hundred miles OF the Gulf coast between New

message over the wires from there reading:
Storm over; no lives lost. little damage. only
few lighthouses were blown down and several
trees uprooted.
Over the rest OF the distance TO West Pasca-

phe has been received from this particular part
of the coast It is reported however that at
Scranton the storm has done considerable dam
