AUTOS VERSUS IMPROVED HIGHWAY.

Highway improvement must go forward at a more rapid rate than during the past 10 years if motor owners to enjoy full use of their vehicles, the American Automobile Association has warned in statement showing the ratio of motor to miles of improved highway.
 At the close of 1927 here were 40 motor cars in operation for each mile of improved highway. This ratio is based the estimate of 575,000 miles of improved highway and known registration of approximately 23,125,o00 gaso- line motor vehicles.
 The number of to each mile of improved highway has more than doubled the past ten years it is urged In 1918 there were IT and trucks in operation for each mile of high way.

Have You "Joined'' Cordova.
(Cordova Times.) )


 It is neither sin disgrace to buy merchandise or service of any kind away from Cordova. On the other hand, this country is founded upon freedom of action in these respects. No trade-at- home movement founded upon com pusion is sound. The trade-at- home argument that holds water is based upon good business and civic loyalty
 In this modern age of competition no alert business man thinks of depending upon the trade home propaganda as an excuse for his own non-progressiveness Instead, he is active to meet his customers demands and ready to increase his stocks and service as business war rants But from the standpoint of the consumer t certainly is good business to trade-at-home whenever possible.
 Nltizehs Of CordCya support their own clubs lodges, churches and schools and other public enterprises because they believe in them belong to them and want to see them grow and prosper It is automatic in national life that people render support to the institutions closest to their own lives. In turn, these institutions keep alive and become productive of good works. Why not then belong to Cordovayour own community in every possible relation of life and business activity. * Communities develop in the ratio their loyalty bears to their population. Counties, States Prov inces and Nations develop in the degree that their communities become strong and prosperous

schools come within that classification salaries are low but the expenses of living. It is probably true however that the Mississippi teacher is more underpaid than his New York confrere.
 New Jersey ranks second to New York, pay ing an average of $1SS4. California ranks very close to New Jersey being in third place with an average salary of $1S54. Massachusetts is fourth but materially below California; the aver age being $1,6So, followed by Connecticut with $1,6O6, and Illinois with s1,53O. There are 12 States in which the average ranges between $500 and $1,000; seven between $1,0O0 and $1,250; and 22 between $1.250 and S1,500
 These are not striking figures They seem to give strong support to the claim that school tachers still paid considerably below the level paid other professional workers in many sections of the country

PROHIBITION AN ABIDING ISSUE.

Bruce Kremer. Democratic National Commit teeman for Montana. former McAdoo lieutenant, who is now supporting Gov. Al Smith for his party's Presidential nomination. declares that Prohibition will not be issue in the cam paign this year He is probably correct in his statement The chances that either of the great political parties will take any pronounced stand, other than a general law enforcement pledge, are slight Prohibition unless there are some very startling and entirely unlocked for develop ments will continue this year in the recent past a question to be subordinated so far as national politics concerned but an important factor in local politics. Politicians, particularly those who personal political fortunes are ai stake are dry in dry and all of the wary ing degrees of wetness the state of pabia pulse fuxes from moderation of the Vol stead Act to the condition described wet as the Atlantic Ocean," On such basis there can be no settlement of the question:.
 Thus as long as this state of mind exists, Prohibition will continue to be abiding issue. ! It will become more and more paramount as public sentiment decidedly either to the wet or dry side. To the fanatical drys, eight years is no test of Prohibitions efficacy. To them also, it's blessings, political, economical and moral are transcendent It's evils mere Pigments that exist in the diseased imaginations of its enemies Moderate temperance advocates are undoubtedly coming to question it's alleged virtues, and to cast a balance Tsheet- etweenl the good they may have from it to the evils that have into being coincdent with Constitutional prohibition. And from their ranks come daily fresh adherents to the not incon- siderable element demanding change That ele ment is composed of millions who principal opposed to such Constitutional enactments the Eighteenth Amendment, and it's vehicle for en- forcement, the Volstead Act. Their determina tion to bring about respect for their views and the rights and privileges they hold guaran teed to them under the Constitution has not faltered, but rather has their protest against tyrannical minority domination grown stronger with each succeeding year under the dry regime.
 Viewed in this light Prohibition is and will continue to be issue, regardless of it's recogni- tion or nonrecognition by political parties It is a problem that divides the people more sharply than any since slavery. It cannot be sidestepped indefinitely. It must be settled, the differences composed by legislation without the blighting influence of fanaticism misguided, perverted ality and selfish interests

TEACHERS SALARIES.

The average yearly salary of teachers em- ployed in public schools throughout the United States is $l,252 it has been determined by q survey recently completed by the United States Bureau of Education. One of the significant facts it brought to light is that the salaries paid in States in which industrial activities are predominant generally larger than in those States where the population iss rural and agricu- tzre uppermost. For instance New York State. which is the leader. pays average of $19S6 annually. On the other hand in the South where agricultural pursuits constitute the main source of Livelihood and the population is largely rural in contrast to New York's urban life and it's occupations of trade, misunderstanding, shipping, etc, the lowest salarieFare found ' Mississippi, for example, pays it's public school Teachers an average of s44s, or less than 25 per cent of New York's rate
 This does not mean, however, that the lot of the Mississippi teacher is that far below the teacher in New York. There is big disparity in the costs of living in the two States. In rural schoosl, and most of Mississippi's public
