Old Idea of Ownership Gone.

In America, however, as is outlined
by Mrs Commander and is observed
by all observers, the old relationship
of owner and owned is giving place to
one OF equality and comradeship. Man
does not marry with the idea of secur-
ing a patient chattel with enough in
telligence to work for him, wait on
him and minister to his physical de-
s1res- He seeks a friend, a compan-
Ion, a comrade, a woman of independ-
ent personality, who will be congeniaI
IN her tastes and habits, but who will
live life of her own, not be absorbed
in and lost by his.

A bill modelled after the Missis.
sippi vagrancy law for the District
of Columbia has been introduced in
Congress by Representative Humph-
reys, The prevalence Of robberies
in Washington, and the fact that the
city is without a vagrancy law are
the immediate inspirations of the
bill. The language Of the bill is
substantially the same as the Missis,
sippi law. Vagrancy is made a mis-
demeanor and all tramps, able bod
led persons without visible means Of
support, common gamblers, keepers
Of gambling houses, immoral and
p~roAigate persons shall be consid-
cred az Migrants. Persons trading
and bartering stolen property are
also included in the scope of the
law.

ATTRACTING GENERAL ATTENTION.

Now that il is too late the denud.
ing Of the headwaters of the Missis.
sippi Of its timber is attracting
general attention and no little
concern. What the result will
be on the great river is the problem;
whether it will be followed by a
gradual drying up Of the mighty
stream, or by a succession OF ire
lnendous freshets and periods OF
scarcity Of water no scientists can
say. All is a matter Of conjecture;
but the most reasonable view is that
the great forests OF the Chippewa
country served as a sort Of sponge
TO absorb and hold in reserve the
rains and SHOWS which BY de-
grees found their way into the
great drainage chanLel of the
river. Time was when the valley Of
the Euphrates was the granary and
garden of the world, and Babylon
was the London of human kind.
To-day that great valley is a forlorn
desert, a Babylon is lost and for
gotten under the drifting sands.
The condition is attributed to ex-
actly the same agency that is now
threatening the future of the Missis-
sippi valley, namely; the total de-
struction of forests and consequent
drying up Of the rivers.-Vicks

MIL AND DtlTAtANDS.

The wonderful prodnctiyeness Of
the delta lands easily makes them
the cheapest lands on the market To-
day. Hill lands can be bought al
from $40 TO $l5 per acre, while the
bottom lands can be had at from
1925 to $40 per acre. These prices
are sure to advance rapidly at nc
very distant date.
Concerning the delta lands the
Memphis News-Scimitar recently
made the following reference:
"We have made some inyestiga-
ton Of the price of cotton lands and
their yield.
Average value delta farm lands,
1926 to $50 per acre.
Average yield, cotton, one half to
two-third bale; with intense cultiya-
ton, one bale. Seed, one-third to
one-half ton. Cotton worth $50 10
$50 per bale Seed, SIS to SIS
per ton.
Average value hill lands, $40 to
SIS per acre. Yield. cotton aver
age, one-fourth to one third bale;
with intense cultivation, one-third
to one-half bale. Seed yield, two
thirds Of lint yield.
Good or high price for cotton can
be maintained because the cotton
section Of the South has a natural
monopoly on this great staple crop.
With a smaller yield in America,
the price rises more than the supply
falls, because there is no other sec
ton of the world that can produce
enough cotton in quantity and quail
ity at that particular season to sup
ply constantly-increasing demand
for the product.
"1he cotton raiser can better or
game for self protection in mar
keting his crop, because the cotton
can be safely kept over from season
to season it is non perishable.
when the cotton farmer under
stands the urgent and discriminating
economy in raising the maximum
portion of his own consumption he
will then be indeed largely the mas
ter Of the situation in marketing his
product, with or without concert Of
action, as he can hold his cotton in
definitely.
"a successful Delta cotton planter
Cnce said he could raise corn for less
outlay than he could haul it from
the depot in winter weather, con-
sidering the cost of labor, and the
wear and tear on his stock, harness
and wagons.
I've invite. the attention of the
farmers of the West and of the
world to these considerations"

Inf QuaN Bill PASSES HOUSE.

The bill introduced by Hon. II.
N. Quin, Of Kinds county, amending
Section 1922 Of the Code 80 that
,'the nominations for Supreme Court
Judges, Circuit Judges and Chan
Gerry Judges shall be made in the
year when Congressman are elected"
was passed by a large majority in
the State legislature last Monday.
A special message from Gov. Noel,
urging that the election Of judges be
submitted TO the voters in the shape
Of constitutional amendments, was
received during the discussion Of
the Quin bill but it failed to prevent
its passage. The Quin bill provides
that the Governor shall appoint
those persons nominated in the
primary elections for the respective
judgeships, after same manner in
which United States Senators are
now nominated by primaries and
elected by the legislature. The Sen
ate will very probably take up the
Quin bill NEXT week and it's fate in
that body is awaited with interest,
Should the bill pass the Senate it is
probable that the Governor will veto
it, as he is welded to to the propo-
sition of a constitutional elective
judiciary.

THE ONLY WAY TO HAVE A REAL HOME

Every young man should look for
ward to and work for the day when
he will own a home. A rented
home is only half home. One who
has any ambition and love for his
home would do many little things
from time to time that would improve
his own home and make it better as
a place to live. If he is in a rented
home, he does not feel that he would
get the benefit of improvements he
might make; and they are not made.
His rented home does not look like
a home and he does not feel that it
is truly home to him and his family.
1t is cheaper to use your own
home than it is to rent a place from
somebody else. When one lives
long on a place he adapts it to his
needs. That is what makes a place
a home, The young farmer more
than anybody else will gain from
owning the place he works on, since
he will have a better opportunity to
put the soil in the right condition
and keep it so, to say nothing Of
making the dwelling a better place
to live in. A little piece of land
kept in good condition will make a
better living than a large piece that
is in poor condition. Rented land
is almost sure to be in poor condi-
ton. The landlord and the ten
ant each feels that il he does
this or that to improve the
property, the other will get toe
much Of the profit; and improve
ments ale not made till the man
who works the land owns the prop
erty. No matter from what side we
look at the question, it always comes
out that before one can live in real
home he must own it,--Southern
Farm Gazette.
