WASTE PLACES OF THE SOUTH
They Are Rapidly Increasing in Value
Year by Year.

1t Is a matter of record that in
1895 in a certain rural community in
the south six acres of land sold for
S13.9S or S2.33 an acre, says the
Southern Workman. Last year these
same six acres sold for 81 $50 or
$276.66 an acre. Near this another
tract which in 1892 sold for 10 cents
an acre sold in 1904 for $3.50 an acre.
All of this land in 1892 and 1895 was
out in the country. 1t is out in the
country now and it is used for farm
ing purposes only. No spectators
have run its price up; no boomers"
have laid off a city there and adver-
tised corner lots" There is no city
there, and the people have no inten-
ton of building one. Neither is there
even a cotton mill or other manufact-
uring concern there or anywhere in
that vicinity. People have lived there
for nearly 200 years and titled the soil
and that is what they are doing now.
The difference is that for the first
time they are learning how to farm,
how to bring from land formerly con-
sidered waste crops which sell at a
big profit. And along with this and in
consequence of this they are learning
how to live comfortably in the coun-
try, how to build themselves homes,
how with others near them to build
up a community life and enjoy those
intellectual and social pleasures which
they were wont to consider possible
only in the town. Some new blood"
has been introduced into this com
munity, people who come down from
the northwest to engage in truck
growing, or any other kind of growing
the land was capable of, but the ma
tives, too, have been stimulated and
thus assisted have gone to work to
better themselves and build up their
community.

Remedy In His House.

I'VE would not be without Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. It is kept on
hand continually in our home" says
W. w. kearney, editor of the ~Independ-
ent, Lowry City. Mo. That is just what
every family should do. When kept
at hand ready for instant use, a cold
may be checked at the outset and cur
ed in much less time than after it has
become settled in the system. This
remedy is also without a peer for
Group in children, and will prevent the
attack when given as soon as the child
becomes hoarse, or even after the crou.
Ply cough appears. which can only be
done when the remedy is kept at hand.

Half Million Dollars to Be A~pproprlat-

tic Science, Manual Training and

Be Increased Annually.

According to Prof. w. NJ. Stewart,
who recently returned from a meet
ing Of department superintendent of
the National Educational association,
held at Louisville, KY, the trend of ed
ucation in the grades from now on will
be to combine the studies of domestic
science, manual training and elementry
agriculture with the more theoretical
studies now taught, says the Salt Lake
Tribune. The trend of the entire dis
cussion at the convention was toward
the socializing of the curriculum.
eurkett-PolIard Bill.
Growing out of a correspondence on
this subject prior to the holding of this
convention, certain educators appealed
to their representatives in congress,
with the result that the Burkett-Pol-
lard bill was introduced. If this bill is
passed, congress will appropriate $780,
900 next year for the training of teach
ers in these subjects. This sum will be
increased 100000 annually until the
million.dollar mark Is reached.
Division of the Funds.
Half the money will be equally divid,
ed between the state normal schools
of the country. The other half will be
divided according to enrolment in
these schools. According to Prof
Stewart, the Utah state normal school
will receive from $4,000 to $4,000 an.
nually if the bill is passed. The normal
college of the University of Wyoming
at Laramie will receive a portion OF
the money.

to see the temple as a material structure
and an institution supplanted by a new
religio-industrial center.
The address closed DIR. Hirsch's twenty
sixth year In the pulpit.
The ambition of my life Is to see this
fortress of stone replaced by a fortress of
life-a center of growing life for the de-
velopmenf of humanity, where rich and poor
learned and unearned can gather in com
mon and feel at home.' said DIR. hirsch:
Ito depart from the temple idea and create
an auditorium, surrounded by workshops
and gymnasiums, and unite the religious.
social and industrial features of life''
In his sermon he appealed for creative
morality to meet the conditions Of the
times. One condition that is awaiting re-
form through this morality, he said is the
accumulation of wealth by the few
Under present conditions a few become
the beneficiaries Of the many" he said.

traitor OF his wealth. He does not own It.
