A canvass Of the United States has
disclosed the fact that in spite Of the
much Wanted Republican prosperity,
there are considerably in excess Of
100000 unemployed, unable to find
work of any kind and at any kind of
wages. This deplorable condition is
not existent in Mississippi, as she is
not included in the enumeration.
Among the Southern states, Alabama
has $4,000 unemployed and Tennessee
25,000. the proportion in the south, be-
ing as matter Of course smaller than
in the east and north. 1t is signiGc-
ant fact that Mississippi is not troubled
with the serious problem Of the unem-
ployed, her advantage being that she
is overwhelmingly an agricultural state
where there is always work and sus-
tenance for all who wish.

To Unfit the Farmer.

been so happy over an action Of a
president of the United States as | was
made by Mr.. Roosevelt in his appoint

and is Il part in a noble and uplifting

am particularly, gladdened by this
action. because l have long dreamed
Of it and advocated it. The scope of
the inquiry should be broader than
merely as it affects the farmer. It
should take in the identifying Of land
scapes. of villages, increased social
life in the country. and should touch
he good roads and forestry move
ments. That it will include this neces-
sary crusade for the planting and pres
ervation of trees is assured by the fact
that MI. Clifford Pinchot. the efficient
head of the forestry department. is on
the commission
In my opinion the great development
of the future is to be in the making of
beautiful homes in the country and in
improving the life of jewellers on farms
and in villages. With the increase of
transportation facilities men will 90

The solution Of the Stun problem
and of the congestion Of our great cit

showing these people the beauty, the

try life. The step will also, or should
also, find way of stopping young
men and women from leaving the farm
for the city. Our system of education
is partly at fault for this. In future
we must educate our young toward the
country and toward nature rather than
away from them.
But it is not enough that one COM
mission alone should be working along
these laudable lines. There should be
a universal movement in these direc.
tons among the people themselves.

Destiny nothing small about the title

Destiny nothing small about the title
at any rate.
The work started out by telling how
the universe began business and
wound up by describing a dead sure
process to make rain. Between times
It kept whacking away at the scien-
lists. In quite cheerful and ofrhand
manner it showed how fallacious are
all present systems of knowledge The
universe was first pushed out of moth

tlOnal vortex system, and this was ex-
planned by a number of disquieting
cuts that seemed intended to give a
man wheels and mix him up in his men.
tai bearings.
But it all hinged on rainmaking.
The old man had a theory of shooting
holes in the armament and working a
dry atmosphere for the drinks, and. as
this theory did not seem to tit in with
anything in the universe, there was
nothing more natural than that he
should proceed to construct a universe
that it would fit in with, which he &C.
cordingly did.
After the book had made it's appear
ance the old man would come in with
a great flourish Of trumpets. Profess
or So-and-so has just given ME the
greatest Endorsement" When ques-
toned as to what the professor had
said, well, he said If could estab-
lish my theory l would have a theory
established" And the old man was as
gleeful over it as child.
The next thing was to establish the
theory, and here again it hinged on
rainmaking. If he could only make it
rain. the spiral vibrational vortex sys-
tenn would follow as matter Of
course. But in order to make rain he
had to lombard the heavens. and in
order to lombard the heavens he had
to have powder and guns. and in or
der to have powder and guns he had
to have money. There was the rub.
So he went to that last resort of the
man with a scheme. the legislature.
He had bill introduced appropriating
$4,000 to help him make it rain
Then began process of buttonhol-
ing members. during WHICH the old
mans feathers perceptibly fell. Final
ly the member who introduced the bill
went back on it. and the poor thing

old man fighting mad. He swore it
was because of political bias and he
would wait for another legislature.
In two years different political par
ty was in power, and the old man
again went after his appropriation.

fate as before.

one phase Of the truth, and after that
they can see nothing else. Nor have
they any patience with people who
talk about other subjects.
For example, once knew a red
headed man who was wrought up on
the subject Of rainmaking. He acted
as though he thought people who con-
