THE COUNTRY PAPER.

Barney Sheridan Says It's Most Val
liable and Powerful Holding.
VIM. Allen White, Ed Howe, Eugene
Herbert and few such editors run
papers that are interesting. EtSpeak
right out in meetin" and are read
Advocate what is right even if some
ones toes happen to be tread upon.
Barney Sheridan, in the Paola (Kan.)
Spirit, which he started thirty-six
years ago says of country papers:
Owners of country newspapers are
just beginning to appreciate their val
ue and their Importance in all the
affairs of this progressive age. The
owner of well managed weekly
paper, paper that month in and
month out, through year after year,
supports its owner and keeps gaining
little, is a most valuable and power
full holding. If every country editor
knew how much force for either gooc
or evil there is in such newspaper,
whether the circulation be large OF
small, more care would be given to the
editorials, the locals and the genera
policy of the country press.
Politics is but small part of the
duty of weekly paper in country
town. Advocating the things best fo1
the community and gathering all the
local news desirable or fit to print
Under such plan circulation increased
and receipts more than doubled. Thi
little country paper not only supporte,
and educated the family. but di,
much to help the town and county
; This illustrates in measure the powe
of the country newspapers, its useful
ness and its indestructibility Nothin,

newspaper. Collectively the countr
newspaper directs the destinies of tn
country. For while they seem t

The annual distribution of money to

week by the superintendent of insur-

So many times we hear E'that our
State Experiment Station is too large,
one section instead of the six sections
would have been enough, that the
experiment could be better made in
little patches. We have always con-
tended the Experiments should be in
10 or more acre patches, just as we
farm in this western land to show the
farmers what is best, and now Director
Burkett of the State Agricultural
College and this station comes out in
his report and says: Frequently l
have heard it stated that this Branch
station is too large; that because of its
immensity, it is handicapped. 1 am
not of this opinion. Far from it;
rather, because of it's size, we have the
opportunity of lines of work not
possessed by any other like institution
in the land. The danger is not in way
of bigness of the plant, but in the
largeness of the opportunities, for we
must build as no like institution has
been built. We must organize the
work as has not been done elsewhere.
This cannot be done in month or in a
year. If we secure complete organ
ization, equipment and development
within the next five years and secure
| these things permanently; and if, we
carefully and wisely plan them to that
end, then the structure forever viii

The following extract from the Youths Companion" will be of inter est to all Alabamians as well as all flower lovers:
 The mountain laurel. that splendid member, of the Heath family to which the rhododendron and the azalea be- long. has been adopted by the Con- necticut Legislature as. the state flow CT. Peter Kahn. a Swedish botanist who visited this country in the eigh- teenth century, pronounced it the most beautiful flower in all America. and in- troduced 1t into Europe. They call it kaimia in his honor. Both Washing ion and West Virginia have adopted the rhododendfon. so the family seems 10 be getting appreciation at home af- ter many years. The goldenrod is more popular than any other as a state flower. for it has been adopted by eith- CT the school children or the legisla- lures of Alabama. Kentucky. Mary land. Missouri. Nebraska and Pennsyl- vania. The rose comes next to goldenN rod 1n popularity: four states have chosen it.
 Not many Montgomerians know how beautiful all of these flowers grow within few miles of the city or that they can be transpfRnted and made to thrive in our own yards. They all love an overlapping of tall trees so the woman with much shade may have several azalia and rhododendron grow ing on her grounds. There are many other woodland beauties that will adorn our flower gardens if we but try to have them there.

One morning he discovered his neighbours calf browsing in his yard Making haste to drive the of- fender out he got 1t into such a state of ex. ment and fright that 1t went crashing through the glass and into the beloved pots Then the learned man gave up to such wrath and lam guage as he would not like to have heard on the campus.

Public Ownership tn France.

Tn France, where government own ership of railroad prevails mechanics of all classes, such as carpenters, black smiths, bricklayers~ stonemasons, plas- terers, etc. receive from $1 to $1.20 day. and painters eighty cents to s1 a day. High grade machinists may re- ceive a little more. and in Paris the wages are somewhat higher than in the provinces, but not much. Common la borers receive from forty to fifty cents a day The average price for dress makers and mi1liners is forty cents a day. Servants are paid from one-third to one-fourth as much as In the Uni ted States, and are supplied with in- fertor living quarters and food. Until the new ten hours law went into effect A few months ago the laboring men of France worked twelve hours a day They began at a. m., and quit at D. rn with one hour at noon.
 All mechanics fin France are obliged to serve an apprenticeship of from two to three years during half of which period, at least they receive no wages and must board themselves. In addf- tion to this each one must give up two years of his life for military service for which he receives one cent day and board and clothes. It will be seen, then. that every mechanic in France must expend four or five years of his life without wages before he is pre- pared to earn from ninety-seven cents to $1.17 a day.

THOSE WHO DO AND
 THOSE WHO ARE DONE.

progress toward matrimony--yes! They have come from some country town fondly believing that in New York all things are possible. A few cheap novels have fostered the notion, and they will change around from badly filled positions to still worse filled position until they become convinced that the members of the firm do not, as a rule, look for wives among its female employees.
 want to say right now that the matrimonial chances of the ordinary girl who comes to New York without social introductions are nil. I have known and do know many charming New York men. They are the excep- tions to what I am going to state. but the average New York young man in the first place does not wish to marry at all and in the second place If he does tie himself for life 1t Is to girl with a little money of her own and some social position.
 New York Is the worst place on earth for a young woman to come to who possesses neither of these essentials, and hundreds of girls are proving 1t every year by a series of heartbreak- ing experiences.
 If you want to get married, little country girl, don't come to a great city which is not of the marrying kind [" Your chances are ten times as great at home, where you are known and re-
