Word received at Nome recently from Point Hope states that the small est fur catch in years has been taken there this winter. Only a few lynxes were captured by the native trappers and these of poor quality. The ice is also reported to have been the light est in years, the heavy Arctic floes having failed to come down. Drift wood, the only source of fuel for the natives, has been unusually scarce and much suffering has resulted.

formation of the truck gardening company.
 People who have watched the prog ress of the work say that the new firm must be doing lots of business to have so many supervisors, time keepers and instructors. It has been stated that the officers of the com pany compose a kind of cooperative organization and that the outfit of shovels, hoes, rakeS and other tools are owned jointly; that is to say, there being no such thing as using the oth- CT fellows tools, all belonging each to the other. There seems to be no truth in this, however, for it is evil dent that each one thinks the tools belong to the other fellows and is afraid to touch them for fear of hurt ing said fellows feelings.

Death of Mrs. G. N. Gilmore.

Mrs. Irene May Gilmore, wife of Mr..
Geo. M. Gilmore, died at her home in
Macon Sunday night at $3.50 O'Clock.
She had been in bad health for several
months and her death was not unex-

to such an extent after undergoing an
operation in a hospital in Meridian
some time ago, that it was hoped her
life would be spared for some time.
Mrs. Gilmore was a daughter of the
late Mr.. and Mrs. William May and was
fifty-four years of age, and spent most
of her life near Brooksville. Her re-
mains were inferred in the Odd Fellows

Incendiary fires form one OF the
chief causes of high insurance rates
in Mississippi.
1t is not always possible to prove
incendiarism. In fact, 1t is q very
difficult job. But scores of fires
take place in Mississippi each
week wherein it is morally certain
that arson was involved, although
conclusive evidence cannot be Sc
cured.
Today we are waging nation
wide campaign for the conscrvs
ton of our resources, the saving OF
food supplies, production of larger
crops, etc.
The elimination of waste is of as
much Importance rs increase OF

of the fire waste is subject that
deserves our most serious consider.

Fire insurance companies are
asking for opinions as to the best
modes of reducing loss by fire,
more especially fires for gain.
1t can be shown with mathemat,
ical accurateness that in many
towns and cities there are persons
that have more fires, for gain, OF
unknown origin than any other
twenty persons in a similar com
munity selected at random. What
is the remedyi One is to debal
by law any person or persons who
has had two or more fires of un
known origin where insurance was
carried and collected. That ought
to he partly effective, at least.
Another is to publish annually
in the county papers, the names Of
all parties having fires, the amount
and character of contents destroyed
by fires, and the amount of insur.
ance carried, the time Of day OF
night the fire occurred and th'
cause or origin of the fire.
