The United States have I per cent
of the land area of the earth, about 5
per cent of the world IS population and
25 per cent of it's wealth, says the
New Orleans Picayune. OF the en-
tire agricultural product of the world
this country produces little less than
one-fourth, and of the manufactured
goods more than One-third. The
United States have under cultivation
some 400, 900, 900 acres, not less than
One-fourth of the cultivated land Of
the earth, and they possess consider
ably more than One-half Of its total
forest area. The foreign commerce of
this country, immence as it is, does
not bear as high proportion to it's
population as its industries do, but
this is due to the fact that the extent
and variety of it's products render it
comparatively independent of foreign
fields and factories. The constant
demand abroad for its great food
crops, it's cotton and raw materials Of
every sort, and the popularity of
American manufacturers, render it's
export trade relatively large.

The Only Garanteed Kindney
Remedy.
The CIarksdaIe Cow.

The people of "Cowsdale, " formerly
known as Clarksdale, the metropolis
of Sweet Coahoma," have recently
demonstrated so high regard for the
town cow and her simple kind as to
attract attention all over the State.
It's all right to treat with considera-
tion the kind-eyed kline, but we think
it amounts to fanatical folly when the
society people of an up to date young
city want their calves clad in pure silk
hosiery. And they do say that the
cowslip is now an emblem of the city
which is called "Cowsdale," the SIM
pie flower being emblazoned upon every
public building, and that the girls are
all humming and the boys are all
whistling, ''If You Can't be Bell
Cow, Fall in Behind" Great is the
Clarksdale cow.-Charleston Herald.
