FOREST AREA OF THE SOUTH
Much of the Virgin Timber Is In
This Section.

The South with twenty-seven per
cent of the total area of the United
States, contains about forty-two per
cent of the total forest area of the
country. The forest are by states is
as follows. Alabama, 10000, 900 acres
Arkansas, 24,200OOO; Florida, 100000

Dina, 100000; Tennessee, 10000
600; Texas, 3O,OOO,OOO; Virginia, IA
100000, and West Virginia, 100000
The South, it will be seen has still
much of the virgin forest of the coun-
try. This forest must be used OF
course in order to meet the steadily
expanding wants of this section II
must be used in such manner, how
ever, that the very most must be made
from its annual cut, while at the same
time this cut is being replaced by new
growth. In this way it's timber will
remain a source of perpetual wealth
The Importance Of forest conserva-
ton to southern interest is clearly
understood by the people Of the South
The future of the South is more near
ly bound up in the plan of forest pre-
lservation, with its accompanying pro
lection to watersheds, power-streams
and woodworking industries than is
anything now before the people OF
this part of the country. Not only is
the protection of the watersheds
which will some day furnish the
power to run all manufacturing es-
Establishments in the entire South. ar
important matter to the South, bu
the industries depending upon the for
est products will also be benefited by
the protection thrown about the re

THE FARMER WHO BECOMES
TOWN LABORER.
Dawson News.)


| have no sympathy with the un-
rest of our rual population We are
upon the eve of radical changes for
the betterment of country conditions
Today the safest place for investment
is the farm. Land values will increase
rapidly with increasing population.
They will more than double in thirty
years. Already the abandoned farms
of New York and New England are
being bought by capitalists for in
vestment There is many a man plan
ming to sell his paternal acres in the
country for a pittance and invest the
proceeds in a cottage in the town
and then earn the support of his fam
lily by daily toll. 1t is the act of an
irrational man. He does not stop to
think that that farm will give him a
home and support and soon quadruple
in value. He fails to note the posi-
bilities of rapidly increasing his
wealth by the planting of valuable
trees, and he voluntarily exchanges
the rights of king and the privileges
of a free man for daily wage and the
badge of service
The prosperity of the cities, so far
as relate to the masses, is illusory.
The number of toilers who finally
acquire a reasonable reserve for old
age in the country as compared with
the same class in the cities is ten to
one, taking the whole country into ac-
count-Dr. Seaman A. Knapp.

THE GIRL WHO CAN COOK.
Houston Post.)


girl with one dimple and 400
freckles is a cinch if she possesses a
sweet disposition and a knowledge of
domestic science AS homely as she
may be to the unthinking world, she
becomes glorious when she dons the
bingham apron and goes into a shin
ing kitchen and pulls from the singing
range the well-made bread, the ma
jestic pies and the sublime potlicker
In the eyes of her entranced husband
she outglitters the Queen of Sheba
and her children rise up and call her
blessed three times day and several
times between meals.
When the bread is perfectly baked
the coffee strong and hot, the steak
juicy and fragrant, the hash well built
and appetizing and the battercakes
light and smoking as the melting but
ter is absorbed the spirit of the Lord
descends upon that household like a
dove and the caverns of the lucky
mans soul echoes with GLORY Halle
luiah!"
1t beats bridge, it lays euchre in the
shade, it makes the job in the shop
look like 80 cents.
The girl who can cook is a divinity
She is the delight of a mans soul and
a glory in the sight of God. And we
have such girls in Texas, but the need
for a million or two more is pressing

LET THE TOWN CLERKSHIP
ALONE.
Progressive Farmer)


No greater opportunity is offered
anywhere to the young man who is
willing to work than is offered in
Southern agriculture to the man who
will learn how to do ordinary farm
tasks as they should be done.
The boy who trains himself along
these lines has the future in his
hands; and the farm boys of the South
should be turning by the thousands to
the agricultural high schools, the
winter short courses in the agricul-
tural colleges, the corn contests-to
everything, in fact, which will help to
make them really proficient in either
the science or the practice of agricul-
ture. The farm boy who will train
himself can get good wages or a good
salary in working for other men, and
can thereby accumulate enough to
buy land himself and so become a
still more definite factor in the agri-
cultural progress of his section
Let the town clerkships alone, far1f-
er boys; there are much bigger op-
portunities-more money and vastly
more independence and satisfaction
on the farm.

CURRENT COMMENT

Sanchez, military governor of Gran
ada, will direct the army of 0000
effective soon to be in front of the in
surgent tribesmen on the Riff coast.
Even this force probably will prove
to be insufficient to sweep back the
constantly growing hordes. If reports
are not exaggerated, thousands of
fanatical natives, reused by preaching
of holy war;" are flocking to the
standards of the chiefs who have I'M
dertaken to drive the foreigners into
the sea. Although armed with less eff
fective weapons, these are no mean
antagonists. Their courage is prov
erbial, and their daring reckless. Gen.
Sanchez may count on having to repel
charges with machine guns until he
is weary and sick of slaughter
Meanwhile, no state of war with
Morocco exists. The Spanish troops
are carrying out the treaty of Alge-
ciras, which imposes the duty upon
Spain of pacifying the region now in
revolt against the authority of the
sultan.

HOW MEN AND WOMEN FACE
GRIM MONSTER.
(Plano Star-Courier.-

(PlanO Star-COurier.-
How do men and women face death
when the sentence is pronounced by
the doctor? A medical man tells of
his experience.
Tell the man of higher type and
greater intelligence, he says, that he
is facing death and he begins to fight,
demands a consultation, talks about
going to specialists, and fights grimlv
to the finish. Tell woman the same
facts and she lies back to await her
fate. All women are fatalists.
On the other hand tell man he has
once chance in a thousand tn recover
if he will undergo an operation and
he will trust to his own strength and
endurance rather than undergo the
knife. The woman will choose the
thousandth chance and submit to the
operation with undying calmness.
The dying woman thinks first of her
children and her future
The dying man thinks first of his
wife, then of his children.
And most remarkable of all, nc
matter hos destitute a man has been
matter how destitute a man has been
been to his wife, in that supreme hour
of facing death he seems anxious to
right every wrong he has done her
She is the object of his solicitude
Hers is the face he wants to look up
on.
The man thinks days of the materi-
al welfare of his family
He wants to make sure that his bust
ness, his insurance papers and every
thing is prepared for their care and
protection. The woman thinks less of
the money she may have to leave her
loved ones than of their care after she
has gone. The property, she thinks,
can take care of itself, but who will
keep the babies together, and who will

FISH HASH.
Boston Herald

There was a commotion
Down under the sea;
The dog and the catfish
Were scrappy's could be.
The dog barked with fury,
The cat scratched and spat;
Then climbed a sunk masthead
He couldn't get at
The swordfish they dueled,
Two skates become jagged;
A hOrn-pOut blew loudly
And had to be gagged
A school of wild porpoise
Got into gale,
To which soon was added
A shark and a whale.
The shark was whaled badly,
And ran down the pike;
The bake grabbed the scul-pin,
And ran out of sight;
The frightened sea-robin
Let out a loud squeal.

THE TROUBLES OF SPAIN.

TO have the habit. Barcelona, the
chief industrial center of the country
is under martial law because the
workingmen, forbidden to hold meet
ings of protest against the war in
Morocco, have struck and rioted Part
of the army is patrolling the streets
to prevent revolutionary uprisings
and energetic suppression" of dis
orders is likely to spill the blood of
King Alfonsos subjects in the streets.
Loyalists will have their sheer at
these militant opponents of fighting,
saying they are not Spaniards, but
Catalane, but that answer is not suffi-
cient to explain. The fact is that the
proletariat of Barcelona are social
lists, almost to a man, and their riot
ing comes from the socialist preach
ing that men are not food for powder.
That they have corrupted a danger
oUsly large element in the army is
made evident by the several small

troops.
