MODELS AC H VE.
INSTANT SUCCESS
Sales of Two New Models In
crease Output by Fifty
Per Cent

The reception accorded by the
buying public to the specially
equipped Hupmobile touring and
roadster models announced In No
vember has been so enthusiastic that
i. has already been found neces-
sary to devote nearly so per cent OF
the Hupmobile open car output e1-
clusively to these two models.
This announcement was made last
week by o. c. Hutchinson, general
sales manager of the Hupp Motor Car
corporation.
!. Owing to the rapid sales of both
models, numerous distributors from
various sections of the country have
besieged the company at Detroit to
increase their allotments at once.
Equipment on both cars includes
nickel plated radiator. radiator cap
and bar, cowl lamps. barrel head
lamps, aluminium scuff plates, disc
wheels and a special imported Bur
bank top in dark brown. The road
ster also carries the additional
equipment of nickel-plated bars on
the rear deck and a tilted tire car
rier. Otherwise, both cars are the
same as the standard Hupmobile
models.
Both cars" Mr.. Hutchinson say',
have met ready response from
that increasing class of buyers which
seeks the specially equipped models"
The Hupp is sold locally by Motor
Sale corporation.

ENGLAND WINNER IN
FIGHT UPON FLIES


LONDON, Dec. so-The reduction
OF the number of house flies from
myriads to a comparatively few has
been accomplished in England
through sanitation and health propa-
ganda, according to a statement by
DR.. E. Halford Ross, medical assessor
at the ministry of pensions.
DR.. Ross toured the British Isles
last summer. and in those places
where previously there had been
thousands of files, they were con-
spicuous by their absence, he de-
clares. Some out of the way villages
and farm houses still sheltered the
grubs and insects. but these locations
were not numerous.
There has been very great de-
crease in the figures on infant NOR
tally. as compared to 1911, and the
Improvement is credited by DR.. Ross
to the relative absence of flies.

Proper way to Focus Lamp.

Place the car on level surface
25 feet from a wall; cover one lamp,
leaving the lens in place; move the
screw or other device in the other
lamp that regulates position of the
bulb until you get the smallest beam
of light on the WALL then do the
same with the other lamp. Tilt the
headlights, if necessary, SO that the
light on the wall from both lamps is
on the same level and the top of the
beam of light Is not higher than SO
inches. If the light is out of focus
or not properly aimed It will spread
over the wall and cause dangerous
yglare.

Women Who Sell
 Rum Are Problem

Washington, April 14.-What to do with women bootlegSers is perplex- ing Federal judges. Their number Is legion. 'fBootleg kings" are pressing them into service as cunning tools for teh distribution of their concoc- tions. They are being prosecuted in steadily increasing numbers Tn the courts.
 The Department of Justice records today revealed the facc that women, as illicit rum peddlers, are practical ly immune from punishment under the present method of dealing with them in the courts. The records showed that an astonishingly large number of the offenders prosecuted so far this year in Federal courts have been women.
 But the big fact stands out in these records that it is almost i'm possible to convict women, even in the face of what appears to be ir- When convicted, the courts generally have exercised leniency and taken the personal bonds of the accused.
 Number Is Increasing.
 Prohibition officials reported today that women rum runners. equipped with limousines and daring enough to use guns, are increasing in num- bers at an alarming rate. They are more difficult to catch than men, be- cause they are less open to suspicion.
 
 mon practice for shrewd dealers in illicit whiskey to employ women to deliver whiskey ordered by custom CTS. These women never excite the slightest suspicion. They are dressed in fashions latest mode. They af- feet varied disguises. They usually appear daily differently costumed- Their costume bills are paid for tV the bot1eg kings. They borrow the bootleg kings. They borrow a on their delivery trips.
 Women Are Cunning.
 The cunning of women bootleggers was Illustrated to Com missioner Hayes in the case of a prominent Washington woman. She occupied a luxurious suite of rooms at Washing tons most fashionable hostelry. Downtown she leased another ele- gant1y furnished house. In the lat ter house she stored the wet goods' sold jointly by herself and a boot leg confederate. Until a few days ago, when she fell under suspicion, she had mingled for years with Wash ington's elite in society and official dom. She had the "entree' to the most exclusive circles. She is out on a nominal bond and if she is ever tried stands but small chance of be- ing convicted, officers say.

Pascagoula, Miss, Sept. 27.--The
first barge of the Mississippi-W Warrior
Service of the Federal Barge Line is
expected to arrive in Pascagoula soon
with a cargo of merchandise from
New Orleans consigned to local re-
tail concerns. The barges will dis
charge the cargo at the public wharf,
where facilities are excellent for
handling this type of commerce.
For the present one barge a week
will enter this port and discharge
freight from points along the route.
Arrangements are being made with
local manufacturers for the barges
to take out shipments consigned to
river points and to other destinations.
the water rate being low enough to
make favorable competition with rail
roads.
Much activity is in progress at the
ship building plants along the river
front, with three fishing and oyster
schooners. one barge and other small
craft under course of construction
while work is progressing on several
jobs of general overhauling of
schooners and river craft. !

livelihood and where will they go for
work when the supply is exhausted?
The value of the products of timber
run we'll over $100,000,000 a year
in this State. This will be all gone
in fourteen to seventeen years from
now.
Where shall we get lumber for our
barns, houses, fences, etc, when there
is no timber left? The last good
stand of timber is on the Pacltlc
Coast. The cost of freight alone on
lumber brought from this region Will
be two or three times as much as the
lumber is worth at the place where 1T
is cut.
What is true of Mississippi, is true
of the South. Mississippi, however,
being a State of extremely scanty
resources, outside of its farm lands
and timber, she must of necessity de-
pend upon the production and sal OF
those resources to buy what she must
have from the outside. When the
timber is gone, the State will be IN
most distressing condition. What
shall we do to continue the supply OF
timber? The answer is practice For

Hundreds of persons went down

A number of devil fish have been
seen in the Gulfport channel this
summer and on more than one occa-

anchor and move quickly out of the
way when the fish were seen coming.
Local anglers stated all tn fish were
of size sufficiently huge to hurl a

Recently a party of fishermen went

harpons and although three were
harpooned, each succeeded in making
it's escape.

CENTRAL SCHOOL NEWS NOTES.
Enrolment Is Greater Inan That of
Last Year-High School Depart
ment Has New Pupils-Personal
and Other Notes of Interest.

The public schools opened with an
enrolment almost ten per cent great
er than that of last year. Among
the rooms having increased numbers
of pupils, two are very noticeable.
Miss Nina Ladner has thirty pupils,
while for the same period last year
she had under twenty. Miss Olga
Won Drozkowski has forty-one chill
dren packed into a room which was
meant to accommodate about twenty
five and in which last session she had
LWenty-One pupils.
In the high school department there
are six pupils who were not in the
schools here last session. These pu-
pills are: lone Won Drozkowski, who
was not in school during the past
session; Gertrude Arnold, who at
tended the local academy last year;
Anna Eshe comes to US from Wave
land; Elizabeth Day is from the pub
lie schools of Baton Rouge; Sam and
Virgile Fucich were in the public
schools of New Orleans during the
past sessions.

Gulfport, Miss, Sept. 27.-While
Charles R. Swanson and Harold
(Pete) Osoinach were trawling for
shrimp in the Gulfport channel to-
day, six miles from shore, they bag
ged the largest devil fish probably
ever captured in the Gulf of Mexico
waters in this vicinity. The monster
measures 18 feet from side to side
and was 13 feet in length. Estimates
of it's weight ranged from 1000 to
5000 pounds. :,
Thirty-two men attempted to pull
it on the beach and could only sue
ceed in getting half of its body out
of the water. Although the boat was
equipped with % horsepower en-
CINE, nearly four hours was required
to tow it ashore. On account of it's
being entangled in the net it was i'm
possible to offer any resistance.

TIMBER DEPLETION IN MISSIS-
SIPPI.

Wood, like grain, is one of the
essentials of life. Everywhere we
look we see it, buildings. boats, farm
ers' implements; in fact, everything
we use has some wood about it. We
could not get along without it any
more than we could without food or
water. 1t is becoming more evident
each day that there is an end of the
commercial timber in this State. Now
we are using trees and wood that we
formerly passed by without even so
much as looking at. 1t is becoming
more difficult each day for the farm
er to get good fence posts, cord wood,
etc.
In this State, according to the State
Tax Commissions report for the year
1920, the acreage of our timber lands
is over 100000 and uncultivatible
lands 100000 acres, less than g.
100000 acres of cultivatible lands.
Therefore, less than 35 per cent of
the total land area of the State is
cultivatible of the 100000 acres
of uncultivatible land (note the term
not uncultivated, but uncultivatl-
ble), only 100000 acres is growing
trees, leaving 100000 acres that
are idle and producing nothing what
soever. The 100000 acres Of
timber lands has 40,478,200,000
board feet of pine timber. Accord
ing to the 1920 census, the mill cut
of Mississippi was 100000
board feet. This is pine lumber alone
and does not include fence posts, pill
ing, fuel, wood, etc. When this Is
taken into consideration we can con-
servatively add rs per cent to the
above figures, which would give us
something like 2,780,000,000 as the
annual depletion of the States tim
Der supply. This leaves approx
mately a fourteen-year cut remain
ing. Of course, the amount of sec
ond growth coming on will prolong
the life of the lumber industry, but
not more than two or three years, at
the most; then, too, it will not be of
the same grade or quality as the
present stand.
Think also of the effect it will have
on the economic life of the State.
Sixty-five per cent Of all the people
now employed by industries in the
State are engaged in the lumber in

A monster shrimp more than one
foot long and belonging to a species
heretofore unknown in this part of
the world, has made its appearance IN
Louisiana waters during the last
week. Two specimens of the new
family have been caught and turned
over to Percy Viosca, State entomolo-
gist, who is wearing out his cata-
logues in an effort to classify them.
One of the mysterious monsters
was caught Thursday in Little Lake
by a trawler of the New Orleans Sea
Food Company, and delivered to the
museum authorities by Lloyd Rob
erts, manager of the company. The
other was caught by Alver Hudson in
Bayou St. Dennis.
The big fellows are apparently con-
nected with the river shrimp fam
lily, although they differ from it IN
