Ao RICULTuRAL SCHOOLS
FOR EVERY COUNTY.

Jackson, Miss, Sept, 10.-Prof. j.
n. Powers, state superintendent of
education, declares that he intends to
have an agricultural high school COM
pleted, or in course of construction, in
every county in Mississippi.
There is no movement that is of
more vital importance to the material
welfare of our state at present than
the establishment of these agri
high schools" says Prof. Powers, 'afie.l
our campaign has in reality just COM
menced. When other counties see
what is being accomplished in those
counties where the schools are in
operation, they will quickly follow
suit"
Advices were received at the depart
ment of education today that the
board of supervisors of Wilkinson
county has ordered an additional tax
levy of one mill for the agricultural
high school to be completed and placed
in operation within the next year.

MERcIAL CLUB WILL BE HOST

appetites certain to develop as a re-
suit of the spin over the thirty miles
between Hattiesburg and Collins with
a full supply of pure ozone all the
way, The making of picnic spread

INSPECTOR HERE TO

OBSERVED
DIR. ROWAN TO SPEND SEVERAL
DAYS IN H'8URG INSPECTING
PUBLIC SERVICE PLACES.

Dr' W. II. Rowan, state sanitary in
spector, with DR.. Robert Donald, coun-
W health officer, is making an inspec-
ton of the public service places of
the city, including hotels, restaurants,
meat markets, slaughter pens, dairies,
truit stands, bakeries and public build.
lngs. This inspection will be in line
with the work done in Meridian, Jack
son, Laurel, Vicksburg and other cities
or the state, where wonderful improve
ments have been made.
The work has gone far enough to
show that Hattiesburg needs the same
attention that other cities have re-
ceived. Some other cities inspected
have met the demands so promptly
that not piece of unscreened fruit
can be found.
DIR. Rowan says: "There is no
reason why Hattiesburg cannot be a
screened city just as Jackson or any
other Authorities have recently pro-
nounced Jackson the best screened
town in the south. Hattiesburg can
not afford to be second to any in
sanitary matters"
A full report of the inspectors work
will be given to the public without
calling names, but describing condi-
tions just as found.
| a short time will be given to owners
to get their places right, and unless
they do their names will be published,
their places closed and the owner
prosecuted.
