1t is stated that save for a few ex-
ceptions the road between jackson
and Gulfport via this route is in good
condition, and Mr. Lyle is authority
for the statement that since the log
was completed the boards Of supervis-
Ors in counties where serious defects
existed have made notable improve
ments. Bridges and culverts have
been repaired and where crooks and
sharp turns interfered with convent
ent motoring straight courses have
been adopted. This also applies to
the route from Meridian to Hatties-
burg, said Mr.. Lytle.
Will Be Popular.
The road from Jackson to the coast
will no doubt prove very popular as
it will follow the line of the Gulf &
Ship Island railroad and is never at
any time long out of the reach of
house, an advantage which is said to
be desirable in long distance motor
ing.
From the booklet which will short
ly be issued containing the log it is
learned
Soon after leaving Jackson, one
uncOnsciOusly enters the old Jackson
military road, as established and laid
out by Gen. Jackson beginning in 1917
and completing the work in 1920. The
work was done under the supervision
of the war department, by an act of
Congress passed April 81 1916 The
road extended from Madisonville, La.
to Mussel Shoals, and was built for
military purposes.
General Jackson knew his business
both in road building and generating
an army, and this log follows through
the rough country of lower Rankin
county and upper Simpson, the iden.
teal road built by Gen. Jackson.
'Soon after leaving this we'll de
fined road, the tourist is travelling
through the old Choctaw lands, now
fertile and covered with numberless
farms and happy homes. The original
Choctaw boundary line is crossed at
old time water-mill, still in operation
This log follows a route of 125
miles of graded road, and more than
80 miles of gravel, and with increased
work each month. The route is dot
ted with many towns and cities, at
all of which, the tourist can replenish
his needs. The people are accommO
dating, kind and courteous, and wei

had worked just as hard as he had, but
| the worms and the bugs had been too
much for them. He couldn't under
stand why he had succeeded and they
had failed. There must be a reason.
There is a reason for everything.
After breakfast he put on his old
straw hat and started down to the gar
den to look 1t over, still puZzltng over
the reason why his garden was so much
better than others. Just on the edge OF
the garden was an old board. He lift
ed one end of it and peeped under:

blinked sleepily, but in the most friend
ly way. Mr.. Toad's waistcoat was nIed

he put the board down gently. He

Little Friend, the Song Sparrow. very
busy among the berry bushes. There's
another part of the reason!' chuckled
Farmer Browns Boy. At the end of a
long row he sat down to think it over.
There was no doubt that he owed a
great deal to Old Mr.. Toad and Little
Friend and a lot of TIE feathered folk
Of the Old Orchard for his f1ne-looking
garden, but he had had their help In
other years when his garden had not
looked half as well. and yet when there
had not been nearly as many bugs ana
his own hard work accounted for part
of the. reason for his fine-looking gar
den, but he couldn't help feeling that
there must be something else that he
didn't know about.
He was thinking so hard that ne
sat perfectly still. Presently pair OF
bright eyes peeped out at him from
under berry bush. Then. right out
in front of him, stepped a smart, trim
little fellow, dressed in brown. gray
and white. with black trimmings. 1t
was Bob White. He called softly. and
out ran Mrs Bob and fifteen children.
lat a word from Bob they scattered
and went to work among the plants.
Farmer Browns Boy held his breath as
he watched. They didn't pay the least
attention to him because, you know. he
sat perfectly still. Some scratched the
ground, just like the hens at home, and
then picked up things so small that he
couldn't see what they were. But he
knew, He knew that they were tiny
seeds. And because all the seeds which
he and Farmer Brown had planted were
now great, strong plants he knew that
these were seeds of weeds.
Bob himself was very busy among
the potato vines. He was near enough
for Farmer Browns Boy to see what
he was doing. He was eating those
striped beetles which Farmer. Browns

had come to hate. "One. two. three.
four, FIVE, six. seven, eight, nine, ten,
eleven" counted Farmer Browns Boy,
and then Bob moved on to where he
couldn't be seen. Among the squash
vines he could see Mrs. Bob. and she
was picking off squash bugs as fast
as Bob was taking the potato beetles
What the others were doing he didn't
know, but he could guess.
There's the rest of the reason" he
suddenly exclaimed in triumph. and.
without thinking. he spoke aloud. In
twinkling there wasn't a Bob White
to be seen.

Potash and Perlmutter."

"Potash and Perlmutter" will return
to the National Theater next week.
starting Monday evening, with natl
nees Wednesday and Saturday.
Since the two famous characters OF
Abe and Mawruss took New York by
storm two years ago they have practi-
cally become incorporated into cotem-
porary history. Their wit and their
wisdom, their Joys and their sorrows.
their quarrels and their peacemakings
are so thoroughly human that only the
hardened beyond redemption do not re-
spond to their emotions.
The story of Potash and Perlmutter
deals with the fortunes of Abe and
Mawruss, who risk their all in order
to save from a Russian prison young
man who has fed that country to avoid
persecution. The play teens with
laughs, but there are also many sweet
love passages and touches of pathos
that give to the comedy its lasting hold.
