That Most Important Road

Crossing the country by rail,
one is impressed by the number
of people gathered about the
station when the train stops al
the small town. They are there
seemingly for no other purpose
than 10 enjoy the subtle pleasure
of seeing the folks.
On the city streets one is con-
strained to loiter about the
crowded centers and the busy
corners by the attraction of the
passing crowds.
The farmer builds his house
near the highway. Whatever
his reasons for SO doing, not the
least one is the fact that loneli-
ness grows where no people pass.
The city dweller builds or buys
his home, if possible. on a popular
thoroughfare, largely because
more people pass that way.
Thus il appears that, whether
or not we have deliberately
reasoned ii out, there is a sort of
pleasure in going where the peo-
pie come and go. But there is
something more. The vitality
OF many institutions is involved
in the numbers of passers by.
A certain church committee, en-
trusted with the task of selecting a
site for a new church building,
was in session when one mem
Der suggested the availability of
certain property. Another
member inquired: Where could
a man be going to or coming
from who might accidently pass
that place. That property was
not considered.
Business has centered at the

drawn by the same powerful
magnet of the crowd. The great
WOolworth Mercantile Company
determines the location of new
store after securing certain def
mite knowledge, not the least i'm
portant feature of which is the
point where the largest number
OF people pass during certain
hours of the day.
Verify, then, there is profit in
being where the throngs go by.
The Aberdeen weekly., 1919-12-12

The great cities are located on
the waterways. They began TO
grow up along natures ready
highways. The large towns are
on the main line". Prosperous
business is in the crowded
centeTS.
Out of this natural fact has
grown the artifice of Turing the
people to certain paths. Mer-
chants put up attractive fronts
and show windows; towns and
cities bid for railways; and now.
with the ubiquity and utility of
the motor car, great highways
of travel are promoted and per
fected.
In making the foregoing obser-
vations the main point is this:
Aberdeen, not being on a main
line" and only uncertainty on a
main highway. immediately
steps should be taken to make
certain the passing of people
through our town. The probable
surfaceing of a road from Gibson
to Muldon will. to all practical
purposes, leave us off the north
and south route of an inevitably
increasing travel. To the peo-
pie who will, in increasing num-
bers, pass that way we shall not
be ION the map. We shall miss
the value of the passing throng.
But that undesirable event may
be fOrestalled for good and all by
promptly seizing the opportunity
that calls to us now.
Proceed at once to pave the
road to NettletOn to meet the
completion of the road now un-
der construction across the river.
This will give short route from
Tupelo TO Columbus and the
Jackson Highway and place Alb
erdeen permanently "On the
map. The people will come
our way.
THERE SHOULD BE NO
DELAY.
THERE is VALUE IN BE-
ING WHERE THE THRONGS
GO BY.

The Keeping Fit" Message

An intensive campaign will be
conducted in the near future to
reach at least fifty per cent of the
92, 600 boys in Mississippi between
the ages of fifteen and twenty years.
IA ,O61 of which are in high school.
ID, ,953 employed and 81, ,591 rural
boys.
To these boys will be carried
message from the government known
as the Keeping Fit" message. 1t
is intended to inspire the boy with
the desire not only to keep fit to
fight in the ranks as soldier. if the
Government should call on him. but
to keep fit to play his part in the
great industrial game of life. To
this end, the message lays special
emphasis on muscular strength, en-
durance, energy, will power, courage
and self control.
There will be a conference of the
heads of these organizations known
to be in touch with the boy life at
the Board of Trade on the morning
of December 11th. AT this con-
ference, ways and means of putting
on this lecture will be discussed
1t is hoped that every contact
with boy life may be haEnessed and
that as many of our boys will be
reached with the message as is pos
sible this year.
1t is the desire of the Board of
Health. who is cooperating with
the Government. that the people of
the state shall appreciate this
wonderful campaign. and give every
assistance possible to make it felt
as a personal appeal to every boy in
the State. Let US bring our boys
to know that we are living in COM

We have demonstrated that we had

Dections Of the country. was the opinion
generally expressed this week by leading

review Of the American Architect. Only
when labor troubles in the construction
Eades arc finally adjusted will the last
bar to an open building market be re-
moved.
In the near future the demand for
building materials. in spite Of being
thwarted as 1t is by hindrances in labor
circles, will probably orershadow supply

continue unabated until the next build
Ing season opens. with values higher
than at any time since the war. At pres

The increasing number of building
pr 1jects, either under way or about TO
be commenced, shows decidedly that
there IS no more hestancy about going
ahead with construction. There now is
a general feeling that there should be
no further delay awaiting lower prices.
Those who watched the steady advance
since the first Of the year have seen
how in one month the price Of maicrialS
on a small building job increased more
than a hundred dollars. Estimates to-
da yon another minor operation are
$500. ov,r figures submitted in May.

they are now. Farmers cannot stand
out against the eight hour system. as
the daily manual labor of operating
farmers in this country is equivalent
to that of 13.00O,000 adult workers.
The price of farm products determine
farm wages. The solidarity of labor
is such that farmers cannot continue
or one wage level, while the rest of
labor is on another level. One must
rise or the other fall until level is
reached. Any wage adjustment to be
sound and permanent must apply to
farms as well as industry. To pay
higher wages on the farm means high
er prices for farm products. The pres
ent level Of wages makes it impossible
to cultivate American farms with the
greatest efficiency and must reduce pro-
duction.
