suited in their survey of the govern

his inspection.
1t is also understood that the pres
ent inspection and resultant confer
ences between the Detroit manufac-
turer and West Orange inventor has
brought Mr.. Edison's informal In
dorsement of Mr.. Ford's estimates in
his proposal to lease the project.
Mr.. Ford said he had not "even
thought about the matter" or when
he will make formal report to Sec
rotary Weeks on his present trip OF
inspection. 81 don't know whether this
report to Mr.. Weeks will be in person
or by MAIL" he said, land / don't

He gave the people OF the commu.
nifty to understand, however, that he
would have his supplementary report
and final conclusions in the hands OF
the government official early in Jan

The Ford party spent anything but
q quiet Sabbath. Mr.. Ford left his
private car in East Florence before
other members Of the party arose and
took a walk along the TENNESSEE

site Of the proposed dam number three
The trip from lock six to lock one
was made on a government train, the
eight-mile road running along the
banks of the river through picur

is built, as proposed, and Wilson dam
completed, navigation would be &C
complished over the 30-mile stretch
in which the river has fall of 13(
feet. This would open a channel Of
trade from Paducah, KY, to Chatta

NO WOMEN AS JURORS.
Can Not Serve in Mississippi Until
Status Changed.

Jackson Notwithstanding the fact
that many statements have been given
out concerning the status OF women
voters as to jury service and payment
of poll taxes there still seems to be
widespread misunderstanding of the
matter. Women can not be required
to do jury service under the existing
laws. In fact, they can not qualify as
jurors until the statute is changed,
for the reason that the statute speci-
fies male citizens" as eligible to
jury service.

you, you have not only a servant, but
friend for life, one who really looks
after your interests.
"Of course, In Mexico, as well as
anywhere else, the servants stand on
their rights The cook only cooks and
does not wash dishes; the chamber
maid will have nothing to do with the
kitchen but after all, the wages Of the
five or six servants do not equal those

anniversary expressions OF a hus-

The new note Is utility. This Is ex-

from one who recently visited young
couple while they discussed their ap-
preaching anniversary. II think !

husband said. Ruth demurred. What

the suggestion Of diamond or piece

"If you really insist on a present,
