Looking for the Good

IF there IS anything like To have brought
out in our SUNDAY MAGAZINE more than
anything else. it is the good in people.
There's lot of it most of us are likely 10 over

anything unusual happens TO bring IT To the
surface, we are amazed to find how generous
and kind most folk are. If we only could get
into the habit of searching for the good in other
people, and permitting such of the finer I'M
pulses we have ourselves to be little nearer
the surface, this world would be a much more
comfortable place to live in

The Floyd county commissioners

AMERICANS MASTER CHINESE.
Over 1000 Women Missionaries
Speak This Difficult Language.

A traveller visiting China for the
first time is struck by the number
of American women he meets who
speaks the native tongue fiuently.
His first conclusion is that these
young women he meets everywhere,
even in the isolated interior towns,
must be American-born stenograph-
'ers. Finally, however, he learns that
they are missionaries.
At the Methodist University in Pc
kin, which more than six hundred
Chinese students attend, the traveller
may meet Miss Alice Terrell, profess
sor of mathematics. Miss Terrell
has been interested in educational
work in China for fifteen years, and
is pointed out as one of the greatest
American Chinese linguists. She is
now in this country on years leave
of absence and is devoting this time
to special work at Columbia Univer-
sity.
One of the books that Miss Terrell
brought with her out of the Orient
is the Chinese Bible. This she al
ways keeps within reach, so that dur
ing her odd moments she may read
it, and thus insure no loss of the Ian
guage that required many months of
intelligent study on her part to alb
sorb for the practical purposes of
instruction
There are 1,150 of these young
women scattered about in every
province of China. In addition there
are many married women missiona-
ries who are Independent workers or
are assisting their husbands in mis-
sion work
Including the old Chinese classics,
which are not used today, the Chi
nese language contains between 55,-
600 and $4,000 characters.
While no American ever complete
ly mastered the Chinese tongue the
same can be said of the Chinese
themselves. Those who sight prove
rare exceptions to this would be a
few of the profound Chinese stu
dents. Even these students would
not be able to read the ancient Chi
nese classics TO any great extent with
out the aid of a Chinese dictionary

MOONSHINER FREE AGAIN.
Most Cunning Man in the Business

The cunningest, the most expert
and the most dangerous moonshiner
that ever operated an illicit distil-
lery in the north Georgia mountains
is out again, and the revenue officers
already have that uneasy" feeling.
His name is Jim Strickland He
is gigantic black negro, and he has
just been released from the United
States federal prison. after serving
term of two years for making
blockade liquor and trying to kill a
revenue officer
He knows Forsyth county as we'll
as a rooster knows his own back
yard; also he knows how to make
whiskey, and he had rather engage
in the business than to live easy
without work. And every time a rev.
enue officer tries to interfere with
his business he tries to kill the Off
Ger, He is a terror, TO make long
story short.

3-YEAR-OLD EGGS IN CHINA.
This Man, Who Has Tried Them,
Says They Are Excellent.

According to the secretary of the
National Poultry Organization of
London, England, an egg should be
either at least three or four years
old or not more than three or four
days. He says: Il have eggs from
China which are excellent. The
Chinese wrap them in clay, put them
away for three years and then bake
them.
The clay pulls off the shell and
the interior resembles a plover's egg
in appearance. They are much nicer
than stale English egg, because the
chemical process of change is COM
plete.

How often do you
eat this food?

A short time ago there appeared in
the columns Of one of the prominent
magazines an article on building brain
and muscle by the proper selection Of
the foods you eat.
A good many people were surprised
to find oatmeal placed at the top of the
list of foods recommended; but if the
article had appeared in an English or
Scotch paper every reader would have
expected to see first place given to
good oatmeal.

and Europe come TO US for tremendous
quantities of Quaker Oats because II

Has Glimpsed World Events.

1t is inevitable, in the course of
things, that the coyote must go. The
settlement of the cattle ranges with
ranches means that his haunts have
been restricted. A colony of de-
termined ranchers will make short
work of coyotes, where the spasmod-
ic efforts of a few professional trap
pers have always failed.
But the coyote can say, with the
poet, that he has had a good time. :"
He has glimpsed world-events from

Rich Hardwood Lands.

Hardwood timbered lands in the
alluvial belt of which St. Landry has
some 100000 acres, can be had at
from So to $40 per acre. This also
depends upon the amount of timber,
the quality of the land and the proX-
unity of railroad transportation.
These latter lands are among the
richest to be found anywhere in the
United states, and when cleared,

Looks to Panama Canal.


The state looks forward to consid-
cradle more in the way of promi-
nence, this to come when the Pana-
ma Canal is completed. 1t is con-
tended generally in Louisiana that
New Orleans will at once take rank
as one of the greatest seaports in
the world when ships of all nations
begin steaming from the Atlantic to
the Pacific through the Panama Ca
nal.
Possibly the most significant indi-
cation of what Louisiana is accom-
plishing is to be seen in st. Landry
parish. Here is the states greatest
irrigation project, known as the
Schell project This project has been
in course of construction for some
time, and is now nearing completion. |
Its pumping plant is in readiness. and
under the project 5000 acres of land
are to be irrigated this season. The
main canal of the Scheu project is
$50 feet wide and 80 miles long Iii
additional laterals 200 feet
wide. The main canal leads from |
an inexhaustible supply of fresh wa
ter. This, no doubt, eventually will
be distributed all over southwest
territory embracing l =
100000 acres of cultivable land /
The water is taken from the Bayou
Courtoblau. an arm of the MISSISSIPPI
pi river.
Strange as it may appear it is con-
tended by Gov Sanders that the boil
weevil came to Louisiana as a bless
ing in disguise; that the boil weevil, |
infamous as the great cotton destroy
er, is about the best thing that ever
happened to the state. The boil
