DISTRICT NO. 4
WANTS GOOD ROADS
Petition Being Circulated Asking for
An Election for 4 Separate Road
District.

Dist. No, 4 is also asking for an
election to determine whether that
district will become a separate road
district in order to vote bond issue
for the purpose Of building perma-
rent roads. The petition is being
signed generally In fact, we are in-
formed that only one Inan had rel
fused to sign the petition, and his re-
fusal was on the ground that he be-
lieved the money would be wasted
rather than spent on building the
roads.
If the fourth district should decide
to issue road bonds, it is probably
that permanent road win be built
from Port Gibson to Hazlehurst CO.
piah already has ten OF twelve miles
Of gravel road from Hazlehurst, and
Will no doubt be glad to complete the
road to the county line if Claiborne
will connect with it,

To overcome Famine, the worlds
supply Of food is being drawn on to

There is just enough surplus, says

Crushed Fruit Desserts
Delightful Dainties at Trifling Cost

We make these offers to
show more women what JiHy-
.Jell means to them.
Jiffy-Jell differs vastly from
other quick gelatine desserts.
Each package contains bottle
of condensed fruit juice.
We crush the fruit, condense
the juice, and bring you real
fruit in abundance in these
Jify-JeH desserts.
That's the important point.
Flavor is mere taste, and often
artificial. The fruit itself is rich
in earthly salts. Everybody
needs it every day.

and twelve If you whip the jell
all for few cents.
It is also quick. Simply add

package, then the fruit-juice
flavor from the vial, and let cool.
Millions are using these
quick, economical fruit des-
serts, and no home now should
miss them.
