SOFT DRINKS GET
GREAT PATRONAGE

Come and have drink" is the
invitation one often hears on the
grounds at Camp Shelby, and the
stranger or visitor often looks up
quickly and wonders when the lid
blew off in bone dry Mississippi
And the man who gave the invita-
tion and the one who accepted it
pass down one of the avenues and
disappear into large building and
soon come out looking as if they had
just taken real high ball, but they
hadn't. Ali they got was a bottle of
something soft.
The quantity of soft drinks sold at
Camp Shelby can hardly be calcuIat-
ed. They are harmless and said by
some persons to be refreshing At any
rate they serve as means through
which soldier can show his hospi-
tality.
Soft drinks are kept at all the can
teens and from. the number of cases
that are delivered daily, not only to
the camp but to every point in the
state, one would think the industry
was making fortune for its owners.

ridges for the rifles are kept here, but
there is very little distribution of these
articles at the present time except for
use on the rifle range.
There are sent to the supply depot
of the army at Camp Shelby, from ten
to eighteen car loads of supplies for
the subsistence department every day.
These come from the various supply
depots of the government in different
parts Of the United States. All of
these supplies have been inspected by
government officer before they are
sent to the camps.

MOON AND WEATHER.
(From the London Chronicle. J

(FTom the London Chronicle.)
People who rely on the moon as a
weather indicator (writes a CORE
spondent) must have very short mem
ories, for accurate comparisons prove
conclusively that there is no connec.
tion whatever between the weather
and the moons changes of phase.
Prof Schuster analyzed whole CEN
tury's we7ther records, and, as re-
suit was unable to trace any lunar
period in them. Several authorities
are agreed, however, that there is
tendency for clouds to disperse as
full moon comes to the meridian of
any place; but it is a far cry from
that to the definite belief that the
weather changes with change of the
lunar phases.
These changes, of course, can be
predicted for years in advance with
perfect accuracy, and if the weather
depended on them, weather forecast
ing would be the simplest of all the
sciences, instead of the most difficult
Early in the civil war Denver was
appointed by President Lincoln a
brigaaier-general of volunteers, but
subsequently resigned from the army.
After his resignation he practiced law
in Washington, d. c., and at Whining
ton, Ohio, where he also had large
farm. His death occurred in Wash
ington, D. c., in 1894.

Laurel Claims Her Share

beautiful homes.
Schools and Churches.
The schools and churches are seconu
to none in the state, the Y. M. O. A.
is model for such institutions. There
are street cars, giving excellent SER
vice on three lines, and an interurban

The court house, city hall and Federal
building are all new and of attractive
design. With an excellent water works
and sewerage system, electric light
and power, and in short every modern
comfort available, conditions measure
up to the requirements of those who
appreciate real home life.
Unusual Hotel Facilities.
To the traveller within her gates,
Laurel offers hotel facilities of tho
highest class. The Pinehurst Hotel,
built some three years ago, represents
an investment of 100000, and affords
accommodations not to be expected
or frequently found in cities of Lau-
rel's population. It's construction was
made possible. by the combined inter-
est of Laurel's lumbermen, who Joined
in financing the project. Soiourners
consequently find unexpectedly satis-
factory hotel accommodations equal If
not superior to the best Mississippi
affords.
Cheap Farm Lands.
While the local saw mills, at the
present rate of operation, have more
than sufficient timber for the next
twenty years, thus insuring local pros
perity to merchants, still the people
of Laurel realize that the time has
come for the settling up of the land
from which the timber has been re-
moved, and well directed effort will
surely in due time accomplish that
desirable end.
Already hundreds of farmers are To-
Gated in this vicinity, and have demon
straterd the profitable possibilities Of
stock raising and generalnfarming.
This falls crops in the Laurel terri
tory are record breakers, even the
land seeming to respond to the in
creased urgent war needs of the gov
ernment However, there are many
thousands of acres of unoccupied ''cut
over" lands in this vicinity, and plans
are now developing for their settle
ment and use. This is naturally
good stock raising and general farm
ing country, and nowhere else in
America can lands of similar proven
value be secured at so low a price
per acre.
The Hattiesburg news., 1917-09-21

Laurel, twenty-eight miles north of
Hattiesburg, is great saw milling
center, possessing facilities unsurpass-
ed for the manufacture and shipment
of long leaf yellow pine lumber. Of
ten in the past have the mammoth
mills OF Laurel astonished buyers by
the speed with which immense orders
have been filled.
The timber is here, the railroads are
here, and the mills are equipped with
those modern devices and machines
that make possible economical and
speedy manufacture. The combined ca
pacity of the four largest saw mills
when working but one shift, is 49,
100000 feet month. The normal
stock on hand in their storage yards
is about 5O,OOO,OOO sees.
Under these conditions. with the
added fact that the mill management
took special pride In quick production
when Uncle Sam asked for all possi-
BILE speed, government orders being
given full right-of-way, it is but nat
ural that the major part of the lum-
ber used in the building of Camp Shell
by came from Laurel.
There was no delay on any order
and shipments frequently went for
ward the very day the order was re-
ceived here.
Three of the Laurel mills are cut

tie with the normal output.
Attractive Home City.
Laurel in no respect resembles the
| typical "saw mill town." of rough and
ready aspect, where residential COM
fort is below par. On the contrary,
it would be difficult to find a more
attractive "home" city. There are
many miles of well paved streets and
cement walks. Shade is abundant,
and well kept lawns are the rule in
stead of being the exception.
In the main, homes are of substan-
tial and costly construction, but
whether it be a mansion or little
bungalow, the contented owners and
occupants vie with one another in
keeping up grounds and beautifying
surroundings. There are practically no
absentee landlords in Laurel, and a
very high percentage of residents own
the houses they occupy. Without ex-
ception the prominent lumbermen in

ENGINEERING WORK PERFECT.

There has never been built a camp
on which the work of the engineering
department has been SO perfect as it
has at Camp Shelby The records of
the building of the camp show this.
There is not a piece of work that had
to be patched up, mended or done
over. 1t all has been perfect, and
when plan was turned over to the
builders, there has never been nee
essity for any change in it.
