We should store the floods and regu.

the land. We should adopt policies
which will everywhere facilitate the
subdivision of the soil into
small holdings, and the growth Of in
dependent homes upon these holdings
Even in those sections which are most
densely peopled, and, perhaps, least

England, for example-there is much
to be done in improving natural con.

But it is not enough to make the
land ready for it's highest uses; the
people must also be made ready to
utilize the land. Every boy and girl
should leave the public schools pre-
pared to make a living, and to collect
it from mother earth herself, when
they desire to do so. This is distinctly
in line with our great need Of increas-

The most amazing thing ABOUT the
South is the cheapness of its fertile
agricultural lands, though one hears
on every hand that prices have gone
up considerably during the past few
years. They must have been giving
land away before, for after years OF
national prosperity and wonderful
strides in local settlement and deve-
lopment, one can still buy fine farm
ing land at prices ranging from IS an
acre upward.
People regard s25 an acre as a
pretty stiff price for lands which
would be considered very reasonable
at three or four times as much under
the same conditions in Colorado, Utah,
Idaho, Washington, or California
True, the Far Western lands are irri-
gated, and irrigation is a sort of mir
acle which, among other things, gives
extraordinary value to land. But we
can compare these fertile Southern
lands with the agricultural districts Of
Illinois, Iowa, and other prairie States,
and still they are literally dirt cheap
There is no way to account for 1t ex-
cept that the process of readjustment,
which has been going on since the
War, has not yet brought Southern

Of future generations who cannot have
the aid of any veteran of the great
conflict to guide them to the points
of interest.
The tablets, statues, monuments and
other memorials which are finding
place in rapidly increasing numbers
upon these historic battiedelds have
been erected in some instances by the
Congress Of the United States. but In
q majority of cases the expense has
been betrayed by States or by veteran
or patriotic organizations. Some OF the
memorials are mute testimonials to
the bravery of fallen comrades, while
others are tributes to the command
ers conspicuous in this engagement
or that However. the matter does not
stop here and of late many commemo-
rative masterpieces OF sculpture have
been installed to mark in each in
stance the exact spot rendered memor-
able by some notable assault or de-
fense or some other unusual event in
the great drama Of the War for the
Union.
The production Of great numbers Of
these battlefield memorials has re-
suited in another Yankee scheme for
saving time and labor, namely, the IN
PRODUCTION of sculpture by machinery.
Formerly all the statues carved from
marble or granite had to be slowly
and laboriously chiseled by hand. Un-
der the new order of things all this

The tools which are instrumental in
| performing this ingenious sculpture
by machinery are what are known as
pneumatic tools, that II, they are op
Grated by compressed air instead OF
by xteam or electricity. The type most
commonly used might be described as
a combination hammer and chisel, and
