 The wealth of the South does not lie in the great wealth of the cotton crop alone. the untold riches of her iron and steel products, her coal and timber resources are of untold value, when finished for the consumers use on the lap of our, genial Southland The day Is not far distant when an offer to buy our raw material will be refused be- we cannot afford to sell our products In the rough, our people have learned at last, that our profits lie in the sale of the finished goods.

 Who will be able to estimate our wealth. when the hum and chatter of machinery Is heard throughout our Sunny South, busily and industriously and economically working up our vast resources into the finished products, ready to be put on sale in every mart of the known world?

 Now think you will agree that there Are the salaries paid the canal officiais exorbitant? The question whether Cabinet officers are under paid or not has been discussed for ysaFs and salaries Building the canal is a bus mess. and 1t will be necessary to pro tract them.

One Alabama gentleman held year. and he resigned after six months, and I have heard him quoted as saying that he would not have stayed If the government had made 1t $60,00o.

DO bachelors die young? Do they
die earlier than married men, asked a
single man. at would seem so. was
just reading a report which seems TO
argue strongly in favor of the matrimo-
nial idea. The report shows that the
mortality among bachelors from the
age of thirty to forty-fve years IS said
to be e per cent. while among married
mon Of the same age it Is ID per cent
For forty-one bachelors who attain the
age Of forty years there are seventy
eight married men who attain the same
age. The difference Is still more strik-
ing in persons of advanced age. At
sixty years of age there remain but
twenty-five bachelors for fOrty-eight
married men, at seventy years eleven
bachelors for twenty-seven married
men and at eighty years three bachc-
lors for nine married men. These fig
IIres seem to indicate that the best
thing, for a man to do is ID get him a
wife and shake wearing cares of bach
elorhood. We all want to live as long
as possible and live happily if we can.
Some bachelors are reasonably happy.
But all of them are not. Get married.

The Preneher,u Errnr

In the early days of Springfield a
preacher bought some sausage fer
lunch one Sunday and took it to church
with him. He carried the sausage II
the back pocket of his coat. and dog,
catching the scent. followed him. Ey-
cry few feet the preacher would kick
backward at the dog without looking
around. Arriving at church, the preach.
er began the services, and the dog lag
down behind the altar.
A few minutes later one of the dea-
cons stole quietly up behind the preach
or, intending to hand him a sheet of
paper, and pulled his coat tail With
out glancing back the preacher gave
one vicious kick and sent the deacon
rolling down the altar steps on to the
dog. which set up n terrible bowling.
The preacher, still looking straight
ahead. said:
My friends. this thieving scoundrcl
has been trying to rob me ever since
made purchase at the butcher shop
before coming here"
When tie preacher discovered what
he had done he dismissed the congrc-
gation and went outside to kick the
dog.-Sedalia (Mo) Democrat.

The Lines on sardine Boxes.

If you are fond of sardines, here is
something that will be useful for you
to know. On nearly every box con-
tanning these delicacies will be found
two parallel lines cut in the top. TIE
distance between the lines denotes the
size of the fish, whether those in the
tin are small. medium or large. OF
course the smaller the sardines the
better is their flavor, and therefore the
boxes with the lines close together con-
tain the finest fish. Some dishonest
firms are very fond of selling pilchards
to their customers and calling them
sardines. but if you make up your mind
never to buy a box unless it has the
two closely drawn lines you may be
certain of obtaining the article you
asked for.-LondOn Standard.

A FormuIa For gIarrisre.

The Frankfurter Zeitung has discov-
cred a formula for marriage. Nothing
is more certain, it says, than that this
formula is right. The question asked
is what age should mans bride be?
The formula is: Let be the mans
age. Then x+2+7=bride's age. For
example, a man is "a; the half of his
age is IL; then II plus { is "a. The
brides age should be a. For a man of
"a, therefore. the proper age for his
wife is 81. Take the man of 60. x=60
+.2=30+T. The man of GO must marry
a woman of 81. For the Juvenile mar
riages of southern ATTITUDES the formu-
Ia is equally valid. The hot blooded
Castilian, for example, Of IS wishes to
marry. The formula says x=1S-=2=9+
7=16. His wife should be 16 years old.
