macist at the Mississippi State In.

He reports general conditions at
the Hospital as being most excellent
at the States big institution, and
the modern reconstruction policy in
augurated by DR.. C. D. Mitchell,
when he took charge of that big in
stitution in 1918, in most dilapidat-

up and bear the most satisfactory
results. Mr.. Pettis reports that DR..

5000, oOoTH FORD BUILT MAY IS
Four Out OF Five Ford Cars and
Trucks Sold Since 1908 Still in
Operation.

/ The six millionth Model "1'' Ford
Motor was produced May 18th, in
the Ford Factory at Detroit. In 9TH
Ell words, from the time back in
1909 when the Ford Motor Company
began marketing the now famous
Model "T'' Motor Car until May 18th.
1922, total of six million Ford
Cars and Trucks have been produce
led. Out of this total 5,517,95 were
delivered to purchasers in the United
States alone, and according to the
latest statistics, 4,478,24S of these
Ford Cars and Trucks are still in
daily service.
thus, it will be seen that out Of
every Ford Cars and Trucks sold to
retail purchasers in the United States
alone during the past fourteen wears.
four are still in actual daily use.
which is really remarkable when the
hard service of commercial cars is
taken into consideration. This seems
to forcibly confirm the popular
knowledge of the longevity Of Ford
cars.
That Ford products have been
quite evenly distributed throughout
the United States is borne out by the
fact that through the sparsely set
tied communities in the Vets to the
densely populated cities in the East,
practically the same ratio of Ford
cars and trucks to population exists.
Ohio leads with a total of 290,769
Ford Cars and Trucks in daily use;
Illinois comes second; Pennsylvania
third; Texas fourth, and Michigan
fifth, with total of 234,081. New |
York, Iowa and California follow in
the order named, each having more
than 100000.
An idea of the important part
played by Ford Cars and Trucks in
the daily transportation of goods
and persons in the United States can
be gained by realization of the fact
that with the Ford Cars now in OPP
GRAFTON, averaging minimum of |
5000 miles per year each, they would |
pile up a total of twenty -five billion
~miles-equivalent to
more than a million trips around the
world.

purpose; make those who followed
the flag Of the South happy and al

son Davis, Mississippi's most illus

as expressed in her deed to Beau
voir, "When it shall no longer be
used as a soldiers home, it is my
wish that it may be used for mill
tarv school or for eleemosynary pur-
poses
"The Jefferson Davis Memorial
Hospital will thus become a per-
petual memorial to Mr.. Davis and a
fountain of comfort and health to
the poor and afflicted of his below
ed State.
"At Fair View, KY, his birthplace,
a towering monumental shaft OF
granite is being erected-let US at
his last home build hospital

from which will radiate health and
happiness and renewed love for the
matchless President of the Southern

ty will make donations for the Beau

Thirty counties have already made

POULTRY CULLING ACTIVITY.

During the early summer, the eff
forts of the Extension Poultry De-
partment are chiefly directed to the
conducting of Culling Schools, states
G. r. Sipe, Extension Poultry Hus-
bandman. Discussing the culling
school system, Mr.. Sipe says:
SIN these schools the people are
taught how to Gull out their own
flocks and do the actual culling in
July, August, and September, keep
ing record of the results obtained.
Some of these schools prove very in
teresting because practical work is
given with different flocks. In one
culling school sometime ago we
visited the home of a resident who
had a flock of so hens. These hens
furnihsed an ideal example of nom
producers. They were laying at that
time about ten eggs per day. After
the culling class had gotten through
with the culling process, there were
only 10 hens left. The SO that were
discarded would probably lay % to
so eggs each per year. In other
words, this particular flock owner
was paying about 500 per year for
the privilege of keeping and board
ing non-producing hens on the yard.
The so hens were sent to market
and the income used to purchase
some pure bred stock"
"This is only one Of the many ex-
amples that can be cited as to the
effect of the Culling School, and the
practical value thereof"

DAMAGE TO OYSTERS
BY cREvAsSE WATER

Now that the oyster season has
fairly opened. oyster dealers are be.
ginning to feel the effects Of the
crevasse water below New Orleans
on the bivalves. The local supply OF
oysters has not been disturbed, for
these oysters come mainly from the
section west of the river, and the
Bayou Cook, Four Bayous and Tim
Batter beds were not affected by the
fresh water. It Ia oysters from these
sections that are preferred by the
LEGAL trade. The canneries in the
vicinity of New Orleans consume the
oysters from the Louisiana marsh"
principally, and those other sections
near the mouth OF the river into
which the crevasse water ran. The
more remote sections Of the marsh
were not affected. but the destruction
of the crop over o considerable ex.
tent OF territory win affect the crop
used by the csnneries. This refers
to canneries near New Orleans sole.
~, for the beds Supplying the import
ant canneries at Morgan City and
other points in that section did not
suffer from the inflow Of fresh water.
New Orleans will consume les usual
annual supply Of 100000 barrels Of
oysters this year, and these oysters
will be the finest in the world, being
considered much superior to the Scun.
ter trade than those from the Louis.
lana marsh.

Basing their estimate on the
charges at other clubs, many persons
think the charges at the lodge are
much greater than they really are.
: The charge at the lodge for bed ana
board is $3.50 a day, and the charge
for paddler and guide is So daily.
This is the only expense attaching
ito a visit to the club, except the
transportation charge to reach the
grounds. Visitors can reach the
shooting grounds from New Orleans
via the railroad to Buras. and thence
by boat to the lodge. An excellent
chef is in charge OF the kitchen, and
as game Ii abundant the food is all
that could be desired.

GLORIA CARUSO WILL CHOOSE
 OWN CAREER

NEW YORK, March 13.-Gloria Ca- ruso, two-year-old daughter of Mrs. Enrico Caruso, widow of the famous tenor, is to be real all-American girl. In spite of the fact that the little girl already has been declared to have a marvellous voice, we'll suit ed to the operatic stage, Mrs. Ca ruso intends to let her daughter follow her own inclinations.
 Personally I am not going to make the slightest attempt to influ- ence Gloria's career" said Mrs. Ca ruso, in her East-fifth street home here. "I want her to learn how to swim and dance and play golf, ride horses and be a regular girl. Any way, she is far too young to decide whether or not she will go on the stage. AS young as she is now it is quite impossible to be sure how her voice will turn out.
 "She has undoubtedly inherited much of her fathers talent. Morris Bagby heard her sing a few days ago and said her tone was absolutely perfect.
 "ALREADY SHOWS TALENT"
 "She already shows talent for va rious forms of music. She spends much of her time listening to the Victrola or piano and has remarka- ble memory for note music.
 "Mr. Caruso shortly before his death said that Gloria would prob ably be a singer. The formation of her throat is exactly like her fathers.
 "When she is a few years older intend to send Gloria abroad for four or five months every year to study French, Italian and music.
 If she does go on the stage she will always havo her father before her. Of course, this will help her in a way to go, because she would have to stand up to her reputation as the daughter of Enrico Caruco."
