WOMAN'S CLEVER IDEA.

One of the cleverest young business
women in Germany, well known in
Berlin society and considered one
of the prettiest girls in the German
capital, has just secured on behalf
of the company Of which she is
chairwoman a contract from the Bel
gian state railways which marks the
last thing in railway economy af-
fected by foreign government. Miss
Stoete's syndicate has received per-
mission to collect all newspapers and
paper of every description left in
carriages on the Belgian railways,
and in return contracts to manufac-
ture and supply free of charge from
the paper thus obtained as many
cardboard tickets as the railways
may require.
1t is estimated that the company
will make a profit Of from II to Is
per cent. year.

ANTS IN THE HOUSE.

An old Brooklyn housekeeper is
authority for the statement that ants
of any sort can be routed by the
free use of air slaked lime. Sprinkle
freely in the places they frequent
and they will leave at once. A Mis-
souri, remedy for ants consists in
mixing a little tartar emetic with
an equal quantity of powdered sugar,
Put in a saucer, moisten with water
to cream and place where ants are
troublesome. If the water Dries
away add more. This is said to be
unfailing.
Garden ants can be driven away
by sprinkling ashes saturated with
coal oil about their haunts. Another
good way is to locate their nests,
place quicklime at the mouth and
wash down with boiling hot water.

TREASURES FOR COLLECTORS.

It will not be long before the sum-
mer tourists of wealth, who are edo
ing" Norway, Sweden and Denmark,
in search of new hooks to explore,
find out the veritable treasures in
rich old oak furniture that the peas
ants cottages so frequently conceal.
The motorists will have the best luck
at ''fnds," for the automobile can
and does take many roads far from
the beaten track, which naturally
means many delightful discoveries.
The peasants, however, especially in
Norway, know full well the value of
each piece, and, besides, are loath to
give up these inherited evidences of
refinement. Beautifst: carving dis.
tinguishes the greater number Of
those found thus far.

STREET OCCUPIED BY FAMILY.
Woman of Brittany, France, Still Alive
Able to Boast of TAI
Descendants.

The province of Guilvinec, IN
Brittany, is one of the most prolific
sections of France. The record of
having the largest family is held by
Nine. LIE Cleach, a widow of 81
years, who is surrounded by 147 de-
scendants, going down to a fourth
generation. When Nine. LIE Cleach
was married she was in her sixteenth
year. Her eldest child was a daugh-
ter, who is now &C years of age, and
she was followed by Is sisters and
brothers, of whom only five are now
alive. Nine. LIE Cleach's six living
children added al members to her
family, and most of them have been
grandfathers and grandmothers for
years, while her eldest granddaugh-
ter has grown-up grandchildren of
her own. Nine. lie Cleach's hus-
band was under 21 when they mar
ried. When he came Of age, he was
called up for military service, but
he was discharged because he was
too short. Every male descendant Of
Nine. lie Cleach is a fisherman at
Guilvinec. Her family occupies one
entire street of the village, known
as the Rue Choquesse, after the sur
name of her married daughters or
granddaughter, while the principal
cottage is occupied by Nine. LIE
Cleach herself.

What Our Farmers Are Saying and Doing

Ing, 0ASI SOC4C pOOpl0-lIOm Tie
highest to the lowest Seventy-five
years ago a millionaire was curl
osity in this country, and tramps and
vagrancy were unknown. This was
the most favorable comment made by
Charles Dickens during his travels
in this country-a man well acquaint-
ed with all conditions of people in
the old world.
The whites who first settled this
country were sharp enough in their
dealings with the Indians-preached
Jesus Christ to them on the Sabbath,
then six days would they labor in
filing them up on mean whiskey and
swindling them out of their lands.
And when they could no longer
swindle them with toys and trinkets,
drive them out at the points of flint
and-steel muskets. But since get
ting possession of the country they
have followed more the plan of a
spendthrift who has suddenly come
into possession of valuable proper
ty-seen how fast they can run
through with it. First, for mere
sport they slaughtered up the deer
and buffalo, without even the excuse
of wanting the horns and hides. This
spirit is kept up in the shooting and
soaring off the birds that destroy the
insects. Within the last SO or so
years, with no governmental restric-
lions, few shrewd, designing men
have got control Of nearly every de-
partment of valuable assets, and by
mOnOpOlizing and exploiting them
selves, but in so doing have depleted
the resources of the country to the
privation and detriment of the coun-
try at large. Turpentine and lumber
kings have wasted the forests, until
it man wants a fence, he has to fall
back upon the steel trust for wire.
We boast of our large exports of ma
val stores and lumber which, while
they have put money into the pock-
cts of a few men, now has the coun-
try Ornamented with sawdust piles
and old shacks-Where once stood
grand forests of valuable timber.
Coal, iron, copper, oil, phosphate beds
have now come into control of few
trusts and combines. While these
have grown fabulously rich, the re-
sources are being exhausted and the
country at large deprived of what
the people need now and will be I'M
able to obtain at no far off future
time.
By natural increase and a steady
influx of immigration, the population
has grown SO rapidly that the coun-
try, which two hundred years ago
was wilderness, now has a popula-
ton of over 90,OOO,OOO people. In
view Of this rapid growth, the gov
eminent should have protected the
resources so as to preserve them for
present and future use, instead of
allowing them to be exploited by a
few trusts and combines that have
GROWN ri tboY1 tho r
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-08-12

come to regard them with indiffer-
ence. But my conviction is that
never in the history of the world was
there a section that was in need of
few men of sufficient patriotism, en-
ergy, influence, and business sense to
take the initiative in movement to
change the cotton conditions that
have prevailed in the South for so
many years.
The wealth and prosperity of ma
ton are based largely on three con-
ditions: First, the quantity, quality,
and value of it's natural products;
second, skill in and facilities for pre-
pairing these products for the use OF
mankind; third, enterprise in, and
advantages for trade in both raw
and manufactured products.
These natural products may be in
the fields, the forests, the mines, or
elsewhere, and are distributed over
the face Of the earth according to the
laws of Nature. Some countries
abound in mineral, some in animal,
some in vegetable products. Some
lands are almost destitute of any of
them, while other lands are blessed
with an abundance of all.
1t is sometimes the case in cOun-
tries where natural products abound
that the people are wanting in suffi-
cient intelligence to know how to
utilize them to the best advantage,
while people Of other lands have skill
and ingenuity in preparing them for
the use of mankind. Often the raw
material of tropical and polar re-
gions are sought by people of the
temperate zones for manufacturing
purposes. In this way the gifts of
God are disseminated over the face
of the earth. The people of some
lands have long been skilled in trans
forming material otherwise worthless
into articles of use and value. A
corn cob or piece of brier root, by
EO1A
verified into a scent or a 50-cent pipe;
a chunk of wood, into an article Of
furniture; the spinning of the silk
worm, into costly fabrics; a piece of
iron into useful hardware; bushel
of corn, into four gallons of whiskey.
1t is an established fact that those
who, by science and skill, understand
the process of manufacture derive
larger profits than those who simply
supply raw material, The farmer
who grubs the soil, the man who
delves in the mines, the hunter who
secures furs and hides, the woodman
who hews down TIMBER do man
ual labor and secure less reward than
those who prepare the material, or
those who trade in the products.
Producing and selling raw material
is not so profitable as first manufac-
turing it and then selling to advan-
tage. For every farmer who be-
comes, as we say, slightly "well to
do" many manufacturers and mer-
