Circulation Double That Of Amy
Other South Mississippi Paper
WANTED-"FOLkS."

Alabama has only one daily news
paper with a circulation of over $4,000.
Massachusetts has sixteen with more
than 10000. Alabama is richer in
natural resources than Massachusetts,
but Massachusetts has more folks"
Arkansas has only one daily with a
circulation of over 10000; Mississippi,
North Carolina, South Carolina, West
Virginia, Arkansas have none. Why?
Because of the scarcity of folks who
can read.
In 100000 square miles of the South,
there are only SO daily newspapers
with a circulation of 10000 or over; in
$4,000 square miles in Ohio, Pennsyl
vania and Massachusetts, there are "A
daily newspapers with a circulation of
10000 or over. Why? Because in
those $4,000 square miles there are
more people who can read, than in the

Z What the South needs is folks"
Only 25 acres out of every 100 in
the South are in any sort of cultiva-
ton; for the lack of folks" I'VE
talk enthusiastically about Southern
agriculture" says an authority upon
the subject, land We are right; for
its limits are beyond our ken-if there
are folks"
The South is richer in everything
except folks. 1t ought to swap
million of its unoccupied unculti-
waited land, for folks who will become
producers-wealth makers. Every
producer is also a consumer. If he
raises some things, he buys other
things. II he raises what he eats,
he buys for himsef and family what
they wear. No sooner does he be.
come producer than he becomes a
purchaser. Folks produce and con-
sumo; folks make business, and trade
and wealth. The South has every
thing else it needs except folks. 1t
can easily get the folks If 1t will ad.
vertise for them and offer induce
ments for them to come.

chances.
Pretty soon a big village doomed
up ahead, on a high place near river,
with more than 100 houses, and fields
of corn and potatoes and grain all
around it, and one big house like
about 40 hay stacks all in one, and
Pa gave the word to stand by, and
when we got near the village the
whole population came out beating
tom-toms, and waving their shirts,
and Pa pulled the string, some OF the
gas escaped, and we came down In
sort of plaza right in the center of
the village, and tied the drag rope to
tree, and anchored the gas bag at
both ends.
The crowd Of negroes stood back in
amazement, and waited for the king
OF the tribe to come out OF the big
shack, and while he was getting ready
to show up we looked around at the
preparations for a feast which we
had noticed.
1t was a regular barbecue, and the
little dwarf we had brought along be-
gan to sniff at the stuff that was be-
ing roasted over the fire. and Pa

looked at him and asked him what
the layout was all about, and the
dwarf, who had learned to speak a
little English, got on his knees and
told Pa the skyship had landed in the
midst of his own tribe, where he had
been stolen from year ago by an
other tribe, and that The feast was a
cannibal feast, got up in honor of the
tribal Thanksgiving, and that the
bodies roasting were members of an
other tribe that had been captured in
a battle, and the dwarf got up and be-
gan to talk to his old friends and
neighbors, and he evidently told them
we were great people, having rescued
him from the tribe that stole him, and
brought him back home in the sky ship
safe and sound.
The people began to kneel down
to Pa and worship him, but Pa said
it made him sick to smell that stuff
cooking, and he told us that he felt
our end had come, cause we had
landed in cannibal country, and they
would cook us and eat us as sure as
cooking.
Pa said if they roasted him and
tried to eat him, they would find they
had pretty tough proposition, but he
thought the cowbo. and would make
pretty good eating.
We got our Winchesters and revol-
vers of the airship, and got ready to

tribe, dressed like vaudeville per-
former. and he marched down between
the lines with stately tread towards
Pa and the cowboy and your little
Hennery.
He had on an old plug hat, so years
old at least, evidently only worn on
occasions of ceremony, and the rest OF
him was naked, except a shirt made OF

waist, and he carried an empty to
