HEALTH WORK
IN TIPPAH COUNTY

The following from the South
ern Sentinel. published at Rip
ley. Miss, indicates that the peo-
pie of Tippah county are thor
oushly alert to the importance Of
health work in that county and
that the contributions made to
the Red Cross by that people
were but bread cast upon the
waters which, after (not) many
days, returned to bless the con-
tributOrs:
The Board of Supervisors on
Tuesday afternoon passed an or
der putting in some important
health work and will spend
100000. OF this sum il was
expected that the county would
put up one third. but the Red
Cross of this county came to the
rescue with $500. and so it was
necessary then for the board to
appropriate only 81. 500 in order
to get the $4,000 service, Five
thousand of this sum will be put
up by the State and five thous-
and by certain organizations
without the State.
The work will begin in the
summer and will include a COM
pIete survey of the county and
much work will be done along
the line of making health condi-
tons better"

NEW YORK JOBBERS SHIP SPARK PLUGS
 BY FAST PASSENGER

The Champion Spark Plug company of Toledo. Ohio, was in the same pre- dicament recently. as thousands of other manufacturers, due to the em- bargo on freight and express ship ments. Wires were kept hot by a number of jobbers who were in urgent need Of plugs for their trade.
 It so happened that the sales force of two prominent New York city job ping houses, the A. J. Picard company and Whittemore- Sims company, were in Toledo at the same time when the freight tie up was at it's worst. These men had been invited to Toledo as guests of the spark plug company for the express purpose of seeing how Champion spark plugs were made, from raw materials to finished product
 While going through the plant, they noticed the congestion of freight in the shipping department-one keen eyed salesman pointing out Q case of plugs with his firms name stenciled on it. As a joke, he suggested that they car " the case back with them and was given the laugh by the rest of the crowd when told that the box weighed over 600 pounds.
 Then he proceeded to prove himself a real salesman by convincing his boss that such a feat was not only possible but practical. He argued that if each man would carry his share. they could take the entire 2,500 plugs back with
