ROADS AND STREETS
ARE. TO Be IMPROVED
CONTINUED From Page one.)

lG. L. Hawkins made a few comments
on the conditions of the roads of the
county, and of the city streets. Good
roads, he said, are like railroads, they
are great civilizers. "But," he con-
tinued, "of more Importance to the
Commercial Club, are the streets of
| Hattiesburg. Our paved streets are
going to ruin, daily. Something should
be done, and must be done to preserve
them. There are about 100000 or
100000 invested in these thorough
fares, and the finances of the city will
not permit the expenditure of suffi-
cient amount of money to make the
necessary repairs on them. Some
scheme must be devised to make
these improvements. | believe that
the Commercial Club and the City
Commissioners might be able to CO.
operate with each other in working
out a plan'
Z. T. Stevens pointed out that while
good roads are being planned, it is
just as essential to provide a fund for
the maintenance of good roads as it
is to raise one for their original con-
struction
A. J. Grove asked the organization
who is responsible for putting streets
back in their original condition, when
it is necessary to dig into them while
repairing gas and water mains. "All

LONDON LIVING SCARS.
by associated PreSS.)


London, June 9.-There is no halt
in the advance in the cost of living in
England. The index figures in the
London Statist show that the average
increase in prices of foodstuffs since
the beginning of the war is 43 per
cent. This represents an increase of
about a billion dollars in the sum ex-
pended for food since August 1. The
disconcerting thing about these figures
to the English student of statistics is
that the greater part of the profit
from the higher prices will accrue to
farmers in foreign countries, whereas
hundred years ago, during the Ma
poleanic wars, practically the whole
of the advantage of the high prices
then current was reaped by British
farmeds and landowners.
In normal times a great rise in
prices checks consumption, but so far
as England is concerned the present
advance has failed to do this, the
enormous war expenditure having
brought much additional income to
the industrial classes, with the result
that the purchasing power of the mass
of people has increased more than
sufficiently to provide for the advance
in the cost of living. Consequently
there has been no reduction in con-
sumption. In fact, the consumption
of food in recent months has shown
expansion rather than contraction.

RECIPES NO GOOD.

Venice, June 9.-Several million
street car tickets, which the Vienna
city authorities had printed with vari-
Gus recipes for war-cookery dishes to
replace meats and expensive foods,
are to be destroyed. People who
tried these recipes came back with
angry protests to he effec.. that prac-
tically all the new dishes required the
use of eggs, butter and milk, making
them Just as expensive as the meats
which they were designed to replace.

More than 200 druggists arrived on
trains last night and this morning, and
nearly that number were in the audi

initial session of the convention to Or

The progress this morning consisted
largely of addresses of welcome, re-

Gee will deliver his annual address at
the afternoon session, and it is sure
to prove of great interest.
During the past twelve months the
association has enjoyed a growth of
considerable magnitude, due to the eff

Scarborough, of Laurel, who by the
way, was one of the eardliest mem

The education committee of the
Commercial Club are working with
Mr. Currie, and when the time comes,

Discussing the matter, Mr.. Smith,
in a statement said
MY information is that the Rock
efeller board has for some time been
considering the question of making a
special effort to carry out a plan for
perfecting educational work in some
county, in some particular state, and
it evidently has decided on MISSISSIPPI

''The Rockefeller Foundation pro
poses to finance the scheme, the main
proposition being to take the forces
already at work, including domestic
science, demonstration agents, coun-
ty health officers and others, and
where necessary supplement them
with assistants. The object in view
is to perfect a school that will teach
educational and industrial subjects,
hygiene, health rules, home science,
home gardening and similar lines In
fact, what we have been doing in a
somewhat sporadic way it is proposed
to systematic.
"We will not erect any buildings,
but will use those already in the coun.
ty to be selected, and it is also intend
ed to supplement the forces already
at work with the service of paid as
sistants to the health officer and the
county superintendent of education.
The plan will be developed along ex-
detrimental lines. the idea being to
demonstrate what really can be done
in the county in an educational and
industrial way with the best available
forces at work"
According to Mr.. Smiths informa
ton, the cost will cut very little fig
ure with the Rockefeller board, which |
has sufficient funds set apart for this
purpose to guarantee the thorough
ness of the undertaking. Mr.. Smith
regards it as distinct compliment to
Mississippi and is satisfied that it will
attract interest and appreciation that
Mississippi should be selected out of
such a galaxy of states available for
such an undertaking.
Mr.. Smith will leave for New York
within the next fortnight, in order to
confer with the Rockefeller board, and
will endeavor to carry with him the
information necessary in order to de- |
termine the county to be finally Sc
lected. 1t is his impression that the
board would prefer county as dis
tinctly rural in characteristics as pos
sible, yet easily accessible to those
who would be expected to visit it for
the purpose of studying such model
rural school.
