Mississippi has made wonderful strides in the past few years in the construc- 

 tion of permanent gravel highways, consisting of more than twenty-five hundred 

 miles, and fully one thousand miles more will be built during the year 1919. Good 

 roads make travel a pleasure in Mississippi. They make for progress and pros- 

 perity. They make for greater food production and greater profits, as the farmer 

 will be in a position to market his crops more economically, and to govern his 

 marketing in conformity to the law of "supply and demand."
