How Would 1t Make You Feel'

OF course Mississippi is long way
away from all this sort of thing. but
the other day FIVE hundred unempIoy-
ed men in Chicago formed in line to
ask the city for work. They were
hungry, mind You. They didn't pro-
pose to beg They wanted to give
the sweat of their brow for something
to eat.
And they got dubbed by policemen
and soused by the FIRE department.

few meals and you should ask for

Black Bayou Drainage

It IS to- be hoped that our neigh
bors down in the Black Bayou dis
trict in Washington county will have
the courage to go ahead and carry
out the recommendations of the chief
of the drainage Investigations. The
report of this investigation show
that this is a region OF large posi-
bilities. Fields in that section arc
cultivating cotton and corn and
produce crops i'll great abundance,
produce crops in great abundance,
where the lands are sufficiently drain
ed. The report makes it clear that
formerly much larger section CT
this district was under cultivation.
This gives encouragement to believe.
tat once the work of drainage was
thoroughly undertaken, the job wo1ld
prove permanent one.
The fetal estimated cost for the
basin OF 10000 acres, is about
$4,000 This acreage under the aet
of 1906 may be assessed uniformly
for this Improvement. A charge o.
ST per acre for an improvetne mt that
would SO vastly enhance the value OF
property in this basin would be rea-
sonable.
The report sensibly recommends a
dependence upon natural channels
for the most part, clearing away the
distractions in the way of trees and
stu1nps and mud banks that time has
been permitted to accumulate in this
neglected country Three cut offs
would assist in giving an outlet to the
water. The successful treatment OF
this tract would be an encourage
ment to- Improvement in other similar
locations and would tend to better
realization, of the vast resources OF
our state that are lying in neglected
or largely abandoned condition.

Keeping Up Appearances.

Some wise editor who has studied
the question say that it is strange
why SO many people want to pre-
tend that they are better than they
really are-that is they want people
TO think that they stand higher IN
the community in social or business
way than they fu reality do. In
other words. people will go beyond
tn cir means to keep up appearances
They will try TO dress finer than
their means will allow; will go to ex-
penses that their income will not
aflcrd-and all because they want
others 10 think they are somebody
that they are not Such conduct
does not benefit those who carry II
out; it does not make Others think
more OF them for tire other people
are not fooled; it does not bring
happiness for those who seek happi-
ness, for those who seek 70 keep Up
appearances in this manner are al
ways on a strain People should en-
deayor to be next and to stand as
they really are; but it IS foolish and
hypocritical to pretend to be some
thing that. they are not, or TO have
greater wealth than they possess
