UPPER LEVEE BOARD TO
MEET AT YAZ00 TUESDAY

YAzOO CITY, Miss, Nov 6,-The
board of Mississippi levee commission
ers for the upper levee district in Mis-
sissippi meets here next Tuesday for
the express purpose Of considering the
Brunswick levee proposition and making
recommendation as to its advisability.
The project is one Of vital interest to
all the residents of the lower Yazoo-
Mississippi river delta for the reason
that, according to the estimate of both
government and private engineers, the
completion Of the q miles of levee from
Vicksburg on the south to the end of
the present levee on the north would
reduce the backwater in the Yazoo val
ley during periods Of high water from
az to 5 feet
1t means that thousands of acres of
the most fertile land of this favored
region, now lying idle for the reason
that once year at the planting sea-
son 1t is covered with water, will be
cleared of timber and marsh and put
in cultivation, 1t means that this land
will be lifted out of the swamp area

Strand.

David Powell the handsome young
actor who is playing the role Of Ar
sene Lupin in Teeth of the Tiger"
the Paramount Aircraft picture show
ing at the Strand theater this week, is
a firm advocate of the strenuous life.
A few months ago Powell felt himself
run down from lack Nof regular hours
and exercise and engaged burly
trainer to get him in condition. The
fellow took his job altogether too seri--
ously, according to Powell, and turned
the actor out Of bed every morning at
o'clock for brisk workout and a
cold shower. Several times Powell made
up his mind to dispense with his SER
vices or disappear or otherwise get
rid OF this newcomer who was causing
him so much inconvenience,
But he weathered the storm and now
feels so much more zestful and pleased
with life as the result of his strenuous
methods that recently on completion Of
Teeth of the Tiger when Powell went
away on a long vacation he engaged
accommodations for the trainer and
took him along.
