STRONGER HIGHWAYS NEEDED
Anything Less Stable Than Concrete
or Special Road Brick Means
Constant Repairing.

It Is beginning to be realized that
concrete or, special road brick set in
cement over a concrete foundation
must be used for trunk roads designed
to carry heavy truck traffic. Any
thing cheaper and less stable simply
means bad roads and constant repairs.

Five Farms on Manhattan Island.

Some of the most valuable and pro ductive real estate in the world is at the lower end of Manhattan Island. but htere are still patches of vacant, unused land at the northern end There are even, according to the Rural New Yorker, five farms left on the island, though the land devoted to this pur- pose is rapidly diminishing. Eleven years ago the number of farms was S5 while in 1900 there were 1S4 farms on the island-Outlook.

Hospitality in a Kitchen.

Do you dine in your kitchen? asks gave dinner party in her kitchen. The affair was arranged in no spirit of advertisement, for the hostess is q woman with good common sense. The diner came about in this wise:
 The house has a basement Kitchen. It is impossible to get servants to stay after o'clock. Husband and wife dine invariably nthe kitchen to save the labor of carrying trays upstairs. Moreover, they invite their guests to do likewise.
 Here, surely is model of simple living devoid of the freak spirit. Con ventions are useful only so far as they make life fore convenient or more de corative It is conventional; but pleas an dand Seemly to change ones work ing clothes when work is done; is Is convention, hut sometimes extraordi- narily inconvenient to dine in the din ing room when there are no servants to serve the meal an dto clear away it's relics.
 The most urgent need of life today is greater simplicity. It is simple to live without the wish to make impressions. to be content that people should know yuo as you are it is simple to ask your friends to share for an evening the life you lead normally.

b-S-s-s-ss-ssss-@s--ss. The Story of Our States By JONATHAN BRACE
 xX.-MISSISSIPPI
 HEz@ TIE of nissise ssass N NA$ & a sippi derives M l its name from
 AV M the river Ar&T3zEA which forms N. x6N it's western
 undary. The word itself comes from the Algonquin missisepe which means great river! It is popu- larly supposed to mean Father of the Waters" but this interpre- tation Is incorrect. The state Is also known as the Bayou State from the many bayous which are formed by the shifting river. In this connection 1t is interesting to note the uneven course of the Mississippi river. Though the extreme length of the state from the Gulf to Tennessee Is 330 miles. the western border. due to the winding of the Mississippi river, extends for nearly 500 miles.
 The rivers play an important part in this state. They are so numerous and the country so subject to flood that the river bottoms cover nearly one fifth of the area of the entire state.
 The early history of Missis- Sippi is yoked up with that of Louisiana of which 1t originally formed a part. Discovered by De Soto in 1539. 1t was not until La Sale sailed down the river and claimed this territory. which he named in honor of his French king, Louis XIV. that a perma- nent settlement was established
 In 1763 the territory east of the Mississippi was ceded by the French to the English. For while the lower portion of the present state was called West Florida. After being captured by the Spanish and later re- turned to the United States. the Territory of Mississippi was ex- tended to its present size of 46.- S65 square miles and n 1877 1t was admitted as the twentieth state of the Union. At the time of the Mexican war, although called upon to supply one regi- ment of volunteers, Mississippi responded with enough men for two. One of these regiments was commanded by Jefferson Davis, who later was the presi- dent of the Confederate states. Since its readmittance to the Un- ion In 1870 Mississippi in na-. tional elections has been a Demo cratic state except In 1872, when 1t voted for Grant.
