MORE SATISFhCT
 IN AMERICAN ARMY
From The Army and Navy Life.

From The Army and Navy Life.
 There is a growing feeling of satisfac- tion and contentment among the enlisted men of the service. Within the past few weeks many old soldiers who had taken their discharge from the army. after, 20 or more years of service, have re- enlisted while the discharges by pur- chase have very materially decreased, Swing of late been confined almost ex- clusively to men serving in the first and second year of their first enlistment. The improved conditions of the servicr and it's increased attractiveness are illus trated-as far as the army is concerned in the case of an old soldier who was drawing a pension in the city of Wash ington and who was employed on the local police force, his aggregate pension being about $60 per month. This man has re-enlisted. He had served about B years and two enlistments with allowance of double time service in the tropics would make him eligible for retirement and as he had been assured in advance of being made a on-commssioned off cer soon after his new enlistment. he has every reason to count on retirement as a sergeant or first sergeant within a comparatively short time, on retired pay with communication allowances. of about $54 a month.

was burned out early last summer, has been rebuilt and is now ready to resume operations; his mill at Ellisville was burned to the ground only a few weeks ago. and is about to be rebuilt. He owns timber land stretching practically all the way from the one point to the other. He reasons that with railroad connecting them he would be In measure beyond se- rious danger from future fires, for in case one mill burned down he could turn all his logs to the other mill, and thus keep things going.
 But while he is building logging road he figures that he might as well arrange to take care of the transportation require ments of the country to be traversed, which is quite thickly settled, and Is well adapted to agriculture, and so he will make it a standard railroad for general commercial purposes, with the intention of ultimately extending 1t to Natchez on the west and to the Mobile end Ohio on the east.

upon it. The bridges for the road are now being built. MT. Parkers new mill at Kola is one of the most complete in the state, as it is one of the largest.
 The Alabama Sawmill company, whose headquarters have heretofore been at Marbury, Ala, has removed to Hatties- burg. and will engage in the wholesale lumber trade. This firm is identified with the Marbury interests, one of the largest lumber concerns in the country.
 Ben H. Donald, senior member of the Donald Slave company, located at Hiwa- nee, has given out the information that in tho near future his company will move it's plant to Shubuta. Next to the Wy mond Slave company of Meridian, the Donald company is the largest manufac- turer of slaves in that section of the state.
 The big sawmill at Leakesville re- stunned work on Monday of last week, after a cessation of a few weeks for re- panrs and improvements designed by the Bear Creek Lumber company which has recently taken charge. The mill was one of the few in the piney woods section of Mississippi that ran right on through the panic without any cut of force The new management has greatly improved it's general cutting capacity by the over hauling given the machinery, and is forging close to the 50,00O feet per day mark. w. H. Louisell. a well-known cap italist and 1umberman of Mobile, is the president and the moving spirit in the new concern When this company made the purchase of the plant they also con- tracted with the Leakesvile Lumber com pany to get out for them 7,000,0 900 feet of logs, and good start has been made on that contract, thus insuring a good run for the mill during the season of lumber activity which is now believed to have opened.
 The last of the big mills in the south Mississippi country to open for full op- eratons Is that of the Ingram-Day com pany of Lyman, south of here The mill is a new one, having just been completed, and Is equipped with all the modern saw mill machinery and labor saving devices. It is one of the largest in this sec ton. It is working force of 240 hands, and M. L. Waggoner, for many years with the J. J. Newman Lumber company, Is manager of the plant.
 As the result of all the mills being on full time, there Is the usual com plaint of the scarcity of hands. Many of the mills are advertising for help, and the labor agencies are working over time, trying to supply the demand How ever there has been no appreciable ad- vance in wages, as it the prevailing market prices for the output the mills are not warranted in paying out extra ordinary wages as in the days of the boom, when labor, skilled or common, could demand It's own compensation in the sawnill area

Anatomy for Beginners.
From Lippincott's.


 Proceeding in a southerly direction f''Nre tAo torso we have the hips useful for padding, and the legs. The legs hold qp enc body, and are sometimes uyA1 In walking, but when riding in automoj les they take up valuable space which other wise might be employed to better advan- tage.
 Attached to the legs are the feet. Some varieties of feet are cold Some people are born with cold feet, others acquire cold feet. and still others have cold feet thrust upon them.
 The surface of the body is covered with cuticle, which either hangs in graceful loops or is stretched tightly from bone to bone.
 On the face 1t is known as the com plexion and is used extensively for com- mercial purposes by dermatologists, painters and decorators.
 Between the cuticle and the bones are the muscles. which hold the bones to- gether and prevent them from falling out and littering up the sidewalk as we walk along.
 Packed neatly and yet compactly in- side the body are the heart the liver, and the lungs; also the gall, which in Americans is abnormally large.
 These organs are used occasionally by the people who own them, but their real purpose Is to furnish surgeons a living.
