"Why not call IL" said a fairy,
"By that name from whence 1t came
What think you of 'Earth's hid treasures7"
Turning to the elfin dame.
But the owl, with voice of wisdom,
Raised slight objection here:
Earth s too something higher
Say Hires Extract to make Root Beer7"
Hires Extract, twas thus they named it;
And then little Mabel woke,
Rubbed her eyes, and said, all dazed-like,
"Some ones playing me joke"
Thus she thought, as in her basket
Neatest little parcels laid;
All her herbs were turned to liquid
All her tonic ready made.
Hires Extract was thus discovered
While the little Mabel slept;
But the recipe so wondrous
Hires himself has always kept.

Just to tease the little maiden,
Like an arrow from the bow,
Swiftly naughty Echo's answer
Comes TO Mabel, Fairies know"
''If you wish to make me angry"
Was the little MabePs cry,
81 will go where l can't hear you,
So think I'll say Goodbye"
And the Echo's voice so mocking
Floated out like Summers sigh
Through the trees, down by the brooklet,
Mabel hears the soft Goodbye"
Weary with her morning ramble-
Wearysteppingstone ne-bridgedstreams-'
Mabel rests beside the brooklet +
Soon tired eyelids close in dreams.

Herbs, to make the weak grow stronger {;
Bark, to make the blood flow pure;
Berries strange, perfect tonic =
Stirred the elfins this strange cure.
Soon twas finished; dark as seaweed
Was the liquid, now complete;
Only add little water,
Sugar, too, to make 1t sweet.
And drink that rivals nectar,
Which the very gods thought good,
Is complete, all bright and sparkling
Rich and strengthening as food.
Snow, ere wakes the little Mabel"
Said a tiny elfin dame,
"We must call this preparation
By most appropriate name."

Fifty little dancing fairies
Fifty, maybe, more or less
Float about the sleeping maiden,
With their fleecy, tinsel dress.
Fifty little dancing elfins-
Fifty, maybe, more or less-
Peep within the maiden's basket;-
What they're after l can't guess.
Lo they take her herbs and flowers-
Take the strips of crimson bark
Take them where the water trickles
From . great rock, high and dark.
Out from places meath the tree trunks
Brought they forth hstrange-1ooklng pans,
Held them high 10 catch the water
With their own wee, funny hands.

Jacksn, Miss, Oct. 1S.-D. j. Nor
rison, president of the Mississippi
Highway Association, has issued a
statement dealing with the proposed
Jackson Military Highway, in which
he deplores the fact that the State OF
Mississippi has no state highway de-
partment and declares that the lack
of such state department may mean
the loss TO Mississippi of this great
road.
Mr. Morrison further declares that il
the historic route through Mississippi
is not adopted, the federal government
will lend no aid to the road, for the
only reason the federal government
would have to offer any financial aid
would be to perpetuate the name of
Andrew Jackson and the route his
engineers laid out a century ago.
Mr.. Morroson's statement in part is
as follows:
''The Mississippi route is two hun
dred and fifty miles shorter; grades
and levels most economically provided
by nature; the agricultural advantages
unsurpassed; a thick1y settled, intelli-
gent white population crowds along
the right of way; the finest road ma
terials, having been approved by the
federal government, lie in great beds
almost continuously throughout the
route, and the only military road built
by Gen. Andrew Jackson enters the
state at or near Columbus and termi-
mates at Madisonville, La, the climax
of our natural advantages, yet with
all of these natural advantages back
ing up Mississippi's claim to the route
there is great danger of its loss to
for the reason that Mis-
sissippi is lacking and deficient in or
as she has no highway de-
partment to direct this important
fight, while our neighbor, Alabama, has
a well organized state highway de-
Dartment with ample state aid, who is
waging the strongest fight Mississippi
has ever known to wrest from her
that which justly belongs 10 her of
great. intrinsic value as well as dis
y
Linction and honor. If Mississippi
loses in this fight the loss will be the
greatest in her history, and will be, if
we lose, solely on account of the lack
Of highway department upon which
IN organization to control these advan-
ages depends.
For lack of organization of her
commercial advantages when the
of our state were run we

convention in behalf of the Birming-
ham route. said substantially. mas
much as Gen. jackson never was over
nor built road from Nashville either
to Chicago or New York over which
routes the jackson highway branches
run from Nashville north, the Bir-
mingham route should therefore have
claim and consideration. In this, the
senator admitted that Gen. Jackson
never built a military road over the
route he advocated. The foundation
for naming this road arises from the
military road Gen. Jackson built from
Nashville to New Orleans by an act Of
congress in 1915. The records of this
route are now in the war department
at Washington and the pathfnders
need only to get these records and fol-

Directness of Route.


The government surveyors, when
aging out the old Jackson Military
Road, laid it as nearly as possible a
direct route from Nashville to New
Orleans, shorter than the central Ala
bama route by 220 miles. This fact
means that the road can be more
quickly constructed, more easily main
aimed, and will entail less travelling
expenses and open greater attrac-
ion for the countrywide tourist.
The old Jackson Military Road, se-
iected by Jackson himself, is a direct
route, passes through a nearly level
country, crosses no streams hard to
bridge, and runs through a country
where there is an abundance of road
building material. A highway along
his route can easily be maintained
in passable condition at all times,
or it will be subjected to no acct
dents that can more than temporarily
destroy its usefulness. 1t will mass
through continuous agricultural
country and will, therefore, be of the
greatest benefit to the people contig-
lous to it and give the greatest pleas

Pascagoula and the Bay St. Louis.
which are both vile atgr courses in
a marshy country. Yet t.csc mist be
crossed If the highway follows the
proposed central Alabama route.
There are neither bridges across these
streams nor leyees across these
marshes. Both are absolutely neces-
sary to have good roads In this sec
tion.
Difficulties of Construction and
Maintenance.
There are no unusual difficulties to
be met in the construction of good
road along the route of the old Jack
son Military Road. 1t is simply mat
ter of going ahead Through nearly
Its whole extent, there are excellent
road-building material in easy reach,
consisting of sand, clay, gravel and
rock. Nearly all the streams have
good bridges over them, and, where
good roads are already built or in pro
cess of building, these bridges are of
steel and concrete.
These same facts do not apply to
the central Alabama route In sec
tions of that route, the building of a
good highway will be exceedingly cost
ly, because of the character of the
country through which the route
passes. For instance, over the sec
tion between Mobile and New Orleans,
it will be practically impossible to
maintain a road always in passable

Berlin, April 21,via London-The Post, in a II editoral article. entitled "The American Troubles" casts doubt upon the genuineness of ems accident which caused the grounding of the Japanese cruiser Asama iI' Turtle bay, Lower California. The paper says there are two possible explanations of this incident One is an effort to put pressure on Wash ington to relieve the situation at pek- ing, while the other is an attempt to secure a naval base in Mexico. This would touch America's sorest point, the paper says, namely, the Monroe doctrine. America must either give Japan a free hand in China or ae- mand that Japan leave Mexico. This would mean war"
 Continuing, the paper says:
 "Germany would view such wal with mixed feelings. While we dt not desire a victory of the yellow race over the white, nevertheless America has no claim to the love ol respect of the Germans. We would 1 be satisfied to know that this coun try, which first became a. state at al expenditure of German blood ant German energy, should, from 1t

 Action Deep Plot.

Washington, April 21.-The Japa- nesc embassy today tated that the Japanese cruiser Chitose is the only one of the Japanese warships at Turtle bay.
 The official report to the navy de- partment from Commander Noble Erwin. who went to Turtle bay to investigate the activities of the Japa- nose, did not mention the presence of any Japanese cruiser, according to the report as given out by Secretary of the Navy Daniels.
 The information at the Japanese embassy is that Japan has had three cruisers in the Pacific, but that their scle purpose was to search flor the German fleet in the South Pacific"
 The Japanese squadron consisted of four vessels, one of which, how ever, the Asama, is aground at Turtle bay.
 According to the embassy, the Chi lose and the two other warships were ordered to return to Japar some time ago, and would have done so but for the accident to the Asama
 It is understood from the Japanese officials that there are no German vessels now in the Pacific which de mand the presence of a Japanese squadron in those waters.
