his family in his usual characteristic
style.
At the evening service the pastor
received the following new members
into the church: Mr.. and Mrs. John
w. Hughes and Miss Nellie Hughes,
formerly of Atlantic City, now of Boil
ton avenue, and Mr.. John S. Lewis, of
Pitney Road, formerly of Philadelphia.

After several conferences and discus
sions the official board had it covered
with a patented, fireproof roofing, the
same quality and kind that is on the
new Belcoville schoolhouse and other
buildings there, which is said to afford
perfect protectionsfor II years. Forty
four rolls, 10S square feet each, were
used on the root and this requirement
entailed an expenditure of $3.50. The
material was procured at a minimum
figure and the results are very salts

Washington, July 6.-Cong ress SET
tied today the long standing contro

price of wheat by approving a pr.ee
of $240 as substitute for $3.50 as
contended for by the senate. The SEN
ate accepted without debate the SUD
stitnte previously adopted in the
house, and sent the measure to the
president for his signature,
Officials estimated that If the 81 40
price for wheat is approved the price
of flour would be increased approx
mately 81 barrel with an increase
Of from ? to cents in the rice of !
loaf of bread. With $2.40 as the basic
price wheat probably would sell in
New York at $275 a bushel, it was
said

In the appointment of Bruce Alex
anderCf Bonneville, to succeed w. S.
Vardaman as United States Marshal
Of the Northern District, and Floyd
Loper of Lake to succeed J. G. Cash
man in the Southern District, Presi-
dent Wilson has directly disapproved
the political conduct of Senator Var
daman and his opposition to the ad-
ministration in its war policies.
w. S. Vardaman is brother of
Senator Vardaman while J. G. Cash
man is one of his most loyal political
friends Both of these gentlemen
were applicants for reappointment,
and the fact they were both turned
down is the strongest evidence that
the President has no particular love
for the Junior Senator from Missis-
sippi, but that he is not averse to
getting even with political oppo-
nent when opportunity presents.
Of course both these men, having
previously been appointed on the
recommendation Of Senator Varda-
man, had his backing this time. 1t is
stated that Senator Williams refrain
ed from making any recommended
ton, but that the new marshals were
endorsed by members of the House,
including "Pat" Harrison, of the
Sixth District, who is a candidate OPP
posing Senator Vardaman for the
seat now occupied by him in the
United States Senate.
1t would therefore seem that the
President has taken this method of
resenting the hostile attitude of Sem
ator Vardaman and rewarding the
loyalty and patriotism of Represen-
tative Harrison, who has stood solidly
behind him and unswervingly sup
ported his every move in the promo
ton of the war.
But after all it is nothing more
than Senator Vardaman should have
expected after his performances in
the Senate. Clarion-Ledger

URGENT NEED FOR
NAVY CARPENTERS
Four Hospital Apprentices and Two
Yeomen Can Be Taken Monthly

Carpenters are offered exceptional
opportunities in the navy, accord
ing to a communication from Lieut..
John T. Wentz, Recruiting Officer for
Mississippi, these being badly needed
for ground work in the Flying Corps.
All carpenters applying at the Re
cruiting Stations are rated Lands
men for Carpenters Mate, Aviation.
Capable men, however, are imme-
diately advanced to higher rating and
given excellent pay. Financially they
will be better off in the navy than in
civil life. Though this is not gener-
ally known, it is quite possible for
carpenter to win a commission.
Carpenters having experience in
ordinary buildiny work can also be
used in the Naval Reserve, and will
be sent to France for construction
work there. This is an excellent op-
portunity for men who want to go
to France.
Four hospital apprentices may
now be enlisted monthly in Missis-
sippi Experienced pharmacists are
given preference, though young men
showing particular aptitude are also
accepted.
Good Stenogra piers and typists
may be enlisted as yeomen, being
accepted each month.
The main recruiting station for
Mississippiw i'll be removed from
jackson to Meridian next week. All
communications should be addressed
hereafter to this place.
The following men were enlisted IN
the navy during the past week:
Albert S. Noble, Laurel; William
M. Keithley, Jackson; Robert A.
Armitage, Raymond; George B.
Knooce, Jr., Hattiesburg; James D.
