appeal as being a possibility dur

out Of reason and no person any

of seeing such fabulous prices for

that the different commodities viii

Attention


Why remain in the North and
stay indoors six months in the
year consuming what you raise
during the other six months?
Go south where you can work
outdoors every month in the
year, and where you are pro-
ducing something the year
round. If you are stock rails
er you know your stock are
"eating their heads off" and.
besides, have to be protected
from the rigors of winter by
expensive shelter. Cost of
production determines place of
production, and Alabama and
Florida can produce beef and
sheep cheaper than any other
state, and must become the
center Of q great industry al
ready begun. Economical
stock feeding requires the COM
bination of both fesh-forming
and fat-forming foods in GER
tain proportions. Alabama
and Florida contain millions
of acres of untitled cheap
range, and these lands when
cultivated produce in abund-
ance the velvet bean and cass-
ava, the first a flesh producer,
and the latter a fat producer;
and they are the cheapest and
best fattening materials known
to the world. If you are inter
ested and desire further infor-

EDITORIAL NOTES.
Interesting Notes From our Special
Political Correspondent.

The unparalleled popularity
which President Roosevelt enjoys is
demonstrated at every point at
which he stops but nowhere moreso
than in the territories to which
statehood was refused by the last
congress.
Governor Francis is the latest
prospective candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination at the hands of
the democracy. 1t is remarkable
how many men are willing to make
of themselves a vicarious sacrifice.
May be tits better to have seen and
lost than never to have seen at all.
There seems to be no end Of the
output of undigested and undigest-
ible securities. The Michigan GU
cumber growers have just formed a
combine.
Senator Hanna says that Grover
Cleveland would make the strongest
candidate the democrats could name.
The avidity with which Great
Britain adopts American inventions
Is startling. The Tight Little Isle"
is just now trying the adaptation of
a British Monroe Doctrine to the
Manchurian situation.
Senators Aldrich, Allison, Platt
(of Connecticut and Spooner have
set their minds on devising a new
and adequate currency system for
the United States. Tt would take a
straight flush to beat this combina-
ton.
Has anybody heard of the direc-
tors and managers of the baking
powder trust being indicted for
their part in the Missouri legisla

Miss Marion Talbot of the Chicago

see, weigh, and x-ray Miss Talbot
before we attempted to put her
scheme in practice.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie calls atten-
ton to a point in connection with
the reelection of Mr. Charles Schwab
