When earth's last auto is broken,
And its tubes are twisted and dried
When the slang's no long spoken,
And the youngest scorcher has died
We shall rest; and, faith, we shall need
it,
Lie down for an aeon or two,
Till we learn to forget to speed it
And live as we used to do.
And those who are good shall be happy;
They shall walk most anywhere
With never a lamp to blind them,
Or horn to raise their hair;
But until that time we must try to
make
The best of things as they are,
And if anyone wants to bestow it, Ill
take
His second best touring car.

One person in a house. who has
lofty conception of God and pure
ideas of life. can lift the whole
family to that level, just as the
leader of an orchestra strikes a
ringing key note to which every
musician conforms until the har-
mony is perfect. A stranger enter
ing a household knows whether the
key note there is high or low.
There are houses, affluent in wealth
and culture, where the discords
are incessant. and the meaning of
life no higher than that of brutes.
But no symphony can compare with
the significance of daily life, in a
family of gentle words and noble
conduct.

General Information.

Space forbids mention specifically
many other matters of equal impor
lance concerning agricultural develop
ment in Mississippi. The farms are
growing smaller each year and the yield
per acre is increasing. Corn acreage this
years Is ~ per cent. over that of last,
while forage crops show an increase of
33 per cent. The average production of
corn has increased three bushels per
acre during the past few years, and will
do better during the next few. Diversi-
fcation has shown healthy increase
and the era is only at the dawn. The
people are awake to the necessity of
living at home as well as preparation
for farm life. Mississippi will be the
banner agricultural State of the South
in very few years if the present period
of improvement is continued. That it
will be, there can be little doubt by
those acquainted with prevailing Ooadi-
tiOns.

The oak is in the middle of the
forest, which is surrounded on ev-
cry 81 by trees that shelter and
shade it, runs up tall and sickly;
put away from it it's protectors and
the first blast will overturn it.
But the same tree growing up in
the open field, where it is contin-
uaIly beat upon by the tempest,
becomes it's protector So the man
who is compelled to rely on his
own resources, forms an indepen-
dence of character to which he
could not otherwise have attained.
Therefore prefer rather to climb up
hill with difficulties than to roll
down with inglorious ease.

For a good, everyday household
angel give us the woman who
laughs. Her biscuit may not al
ways be just right, and she may not
always be just right, and she may
occasionally burn her bread and
forget to replace dislocated but
tons, but for solid comfort all day
and every day she is very para
gon. Home is not a battlefield,
nor life one long unending row.
The trick of always seeing the
bright side, or if the matter has no
bright side, of shining up the dark
one, is very important faculty;
one of the things no woman should
be without. We are not all born
with the sunshine in our hearts, as
the irish prettily phrase it, but we
can cultivate a cheerful sense of
humor if we only try.

Thrifty French Peasantrv.

The French peasant wastes nothing.
Leaves of trees are collected for bed

leanness are used as fodder. He gath

And turns with sigh that is half relief.

And not even the baby left to cheer

why not put IL up for the general mar.
ketf This department investigated that
matter and found that it was being done
for local use, and encouraged canning for
shipment, believing that there were
enough people who appreciated good
and pure article, and would pay rca,
sonable price for it, to buy all of the
syrup that could be produced. The peo-
pie were encouraged to put up and aid
rendered in finding market. In 1905
$4,000 gallons were canned and handled
successfully; last year 100000 gallons,
and the prospect is for over 100000 gal
Ions this year. The land produces from
$50 to 600 gallons per acre. There is
every prospect that this will become one
of the most important branches of ag-
riculture for Mississippi in the near fut-
ure.
Sweet Potatoes for Shipment.
No country under the sun produces
sweet potatoes the superior of those
raised in Mississippi, and our lands yield
readily from $50 to 400 bushels per
acre. They are far superior to the Jer
sey potato, that is staple through the
North and East. Then why not handle
them SO that they could be shipped into
that territory during February, March
and April. An experiment was made
the past spring, with excellent results.
The people were delighted with the
vans sent, and expressed themselves as
anxious to get them. Shipment will be
tried again next spring, and it is be-
lieved that within few years the Mis-
sissippi yam will be known on the
Northern market and command the high.
est price from those who appreciate
good potato.
Public Road Improvement.
An essential to the proper develop.
ment of our agricultural resources is
improved roads at cost commensurate
with the ability of the people to pay.
The Department of Agriculture has at
tempted to gather all information posi-
bic and distribute to the people of the
State. Three bulletins on the subject
have been issued and given wide circula-
ton. The number of counties now
working by contract or trying other
plans for road improvement Ia fully 100
per cent. over that Of four years ago.
The people evidence the greatest inter
est. and II Is safe to predict that Mis-
sissippi will show greater Improvement
in public roads during the next five years
than for the twenty years just past.
Agricultural Organizations.
The people of Mississippi are fast
coming to the realization of truth in
the assertion that in organization there
is strength. BY far the strongest agri-
cultural society is the Farmers Union,
which numbers some 10000 of the best
farmers as its members. 1t is strictly
educational and protective and is doing
splendid work. The horticultural So.
ciety has an extensive membership, but
is not so active as it should be- The
Live Stock Association is very strong
and active. Several cane growers clubs
and oat associations have been formed.
The pOultrymen, swine breeders and bee
keepers are to be organized this fall.
Each OF these have opportunities pf
accomplishing great good for their mem.

courts; instead it has asked the gov
eminent of the United States to force
President Castro to recognize and
be bound by the terms OF contract
which the company itself refuses to
carry out to be bound by.
" In the claim of the New York
and Bermudez Company (the AS
nphaIt Trust) is found the cruxs Of
the whole matter. Here the Wash
ington administration is clearly urg-.
ing Castro to arbitrate detected trea-
son. Proofs collated from the sworn
testimony Of the trusts own officials
show that the trust instigated and
financed the Matos revolution against
the government of Venezuela
uprising that in the words Of Hon.
Jackson III. Ralston in his report on
the arbitrations of 1908, constituted
"a great revolution, which more than
any other has desolated the country,
was of eighteen months duration,
and cost the nation more than IL,
600 lives
The evidence of the publicity of
the Asphalt Trust in the Matos revo-
luton was not sent to the senate
by the state department with the
other material comprised in docu-
ment No. 413, but it was submitted
with ex-Secretary Fosters brief,
Auril II, and was published widely
in the newspapers. The attitude of
the Asphalt Trust and it's advocates
aroused hundreds Of American edi-
tors to denounce the purpose to shelf
er its demands under the govern
ment's wing, and the old reliable
American sense of fair play made
itself heard The senate declined
then to authorize a display Of force
in behalf of the trust, or to send
ships tofoverawe Castro.
1t is undeniable that Venezuela
seized the Asphalt Trusts holdings
in that country; but If any American
interest was wrongfully destroyed
or confiscated" in this action, laws
and customs concerning the treat
ment of discovered rebels and con-
fessed conspirators will require uni
versal revision. The guilt of the
trusts officers is proven out of their
own mouths, and they have no
standing in justice or equity. In the
regular and dignified course Of jul
dicial procedure in the courts of
Venezuela, to whose jurisdiction the
trust solemnly bound itself in its
contracts to submit the Asphalt
Trust has been formally adjudged
guilty of conspiracy and treason, and
the seizure of its holdings has been
judicially sustained. Moreover, the
imposition of fine Of five million
dollars upon the trust has just been
approved by the court Of last resort
in this friendly American republic.
Now the recall Of the United
States diplomatic representative
from Caracas, and the terms Of his
withdrawal, present again to the
American people the question that
they answered in emphatic negatives
last spring: "Shall we permit our
government to go to war to back up
| an inscriptions trust, and shall
American warships be sent to compel
President Castro to arbitrate the
claims Of yanquished. rebels and
proven conspirators?''
