present and delivered an address full
OF information regarding the resour-
ces Of the state. the great things the
state is doing, and appealing TO the
thrifty people Of the north, the west.
and the east to come to Louisiana and
see FOR themselves what the state
has to offer. He said: Here are
the cheapest and richest lands In the
United States. There is no need for
Americans to go into foreign coun-
tries. There Is room still at home
and under the American nag. Sixty
thousand Of our people went into Can
ada last year. taking out OF our coun-
try sixty millions OF dollars. We do
not need To send to Europe for i'm

We will welcome them with all our

that speech. 1t was full Of informa.
tion regarding louisiana, her pro-
ducts. her schools aud her future. and
n most manly and eloquent address.
One speaker on the regular program
discussed the question, Shall the
plantation be divided?" He said:
How can We divide them unless men
want to buy them! There is no one
wants to buy them" met him af-
terwards and found he owned over
25. 900 acres Of land. OF which over
1000 acres are In cultivation. He
told me he didn't want 10 sell at pres.

sity spoke upon corn growing, and de-
livered an interesting address. He
is organizing Boys Corn Clubs all
over the state and Is full OF enthusi
asm. He held up small nubbin and
said: This represents the size OF
the corn, the average ear produced
In Louisiana for the past ten years
prior TO 1909. II the farmer produced
one such ear in every hill. he would
grow seventeen bushels per acre. Just
think OF II! II means to produce
nothing but this small nubbin or
1 eleven square feet OF ground. Is there
farmer in Louisiana who can moi
do better than that" Then he held
UP another, very small ear. anC
said; This is the average size oI
hill. that was grown last year. when
/ We grew the largest corn crop ths
state has hitherto produced, twenty
two bushels per acre. Is there not a
! farmer who can not do better than
that?" Then he held up a nagnifi
cent ear and said; III you will grow
I but one ear like this in every hill OF
corn you Will grow more than nifty
bushels OF corn per acre. but a care
ful. intelligent and Industrious far
mer can grow from one to three ears
as good. on an average, as this In
each hill; he can produce with but

requires intelligence and Judgment to

matter, for which his impending ar

This Is a proposal set up in Bowling
Green a statute of King George MIN
self to replace the leaden effiggy
which was pulled down during the
revolutionary war and east into bull
let's to repel the British invader.
1t Is all like page torn from the
school histories. The worthy persons
who make the proposal are probably
suffering from an overplus OF the his
toric sense and from too strong a
leaning toward antiquaranism. They
should be guided by the failure of
several similar enterprises in their
own vicinity. Some years ago the
Holland Society of New York decd
ed TO erect statue to William the
much more admirable mon
arch than George H., but a storm
Of public criticism stopped them. A
monument erected at Tarrytown TO a
British spy Andre. but otherwise an
exemplary young man, was blown upI
by dynamite.
The demand for a new statue TO-
King George can scarcely be general;
n fact, 1t seems to be confined to a
lItle coterie Of students and anti
luarians, No one could guarantee
'uch a monument long life, The

The Neutral Ground,
Remember also thar many of the
men who protest loudly against eff
fectiye national action would be the
first to trun round and protest against
state action If such action in it's turn
became effective, and would then un,
hesitatingly invoke the law to show
that the state had no constitutional
power to act. Long experience has
shown that 1t is by no means impos.
sible, in cases of constitutional doubt,
to get one set of judicial decisions
which render il difficult for the ma.
ton to act, and another set which
render it impossible for the state to
act. In each case the privileged
beneficiaries OF the decision invoke
the aid of those who treat the con-
stiution not as healthy aid 10
growth; and they asail the advocates
of wise and cautious progress as
being opponents OF the constitution
As have said before, am a strong
believer in efficient national action
where such action offers the best
hope of securing and protecting the
interests Of the whole people as
against the interests OF few. But
I am emphaticalIy in favor of state
action, where state action can best
serve this purpose: ana I am no less
emphatically in favor of cordial and
hearty cooperation between the ma
tion and states where their duties are
identical or develop.
''If there is one thing which is
more unwise than another. it is the
creation by legislative. by executive,
or by judicial action of neutral
ground in which neither the state nor
the nation has power, and which can
serve as place of refuge for the
lawless man, and especially for the
lawless man of great wealth, who
can hire the best legal counsel to adj
wise him how to keep his abiding
place equally distant from the uncer,
tain frontiers of both state and ma.
tional power.

due time to give it SUBSTANTIAL being
That the proposition is recognized al
having merit is attested by the fact
that many other cities have adopte6
ii, as a means of promoting their in
dustrial and commercial development
The city OF Memphis has just raised
$4,000 to be spent in exactly the
same manner in which Cairo's 5000
is to be used How important this
move by Memphis is regarded BY
other cities, which regard themselves
as competitors OF that city. may be
judged from the following editorial
comment by the ST. Louis Times:
"Double-page spread advertisements
in leading publications Of the country,
and particularly in the September
piimber of Success Magazine, are out
exploiting the industrial and CONNER
cial advantages of the city of Mem
phis along what seems to be new
lines Of argument
Great stress is laid upon manufac-
turers maps, zones of advantage,
tables Of comparative freight rates,
close proximity to raw materials, com,
paratiye wage scales and manufae-
turing costs, cheap factory sites, belt
line facilities, low switching charges
absorbed by the railroad deriving the
lang haul, and so on.
This Is exactly the kind Of ser
vice that st. Louis should have and
1t is more or less OF commentary
that. this very matter for Memphis is
prepared in St. Louis by Nelson Ches-
man & Co. William Clendenin, chief
OF the copy department of Nelson
Chesman & Co., is in charge of the
campaign.
Our commercial organizations
should take this home to heart ami
get busy. Think OF Memphis raising
$4,000 in cash to carry its MESA go
to Garcia, invading st. Louis territory
coming right into this city with its
arguments and its proofs and trying
to take away our factories and our
industries. jobbing houses and whole
sale houses.
We cannot help but admire the
spirit which moves our Southern
neighbor, and every fair minded st
Louisan must take off his hat to the
masterful way in which the Memphis
proposition is handled. 1t is not toe
much to say that this is the best worl
OF the kind in community advertis
ing thus far. These comparative maps
Industrial divisions and subdivisions
Of trade territory, with comparisons
OF twenty odd different cities, are ex
actly the kind OF material calculated
to convince manufacturers and dis,
tributors."
There Is not the slightest doubt
that Cairo can make as good a show.
ing as Memphis in every way, so far
as advantages are concerned, and In
some respects a better showing. The
important thing is to bring the facts
I. home to the big men in the Industrial
world. and this can be done only by
systematic work on the part of some
one who II we'll posted about Cairo,
and can devote his time to the work.
70 this end the $4,000 must be raised.

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM.
II is an IntePna! Disease and Requires
an Internal Remedy.

The cause of rheumatism and kim
dred diseases is an excess of uric acid
IN the blood. To cure this terrible
disease this acid must be expelled
and the system so regulated that no
more acid will be formed in excess
i've quantities. Rheumatism is an in
ternal disease and requires an inter-
nal remedy. Rubbing with oils and
liniments will not cure, affords only
temporary relief at best, causes you
to delay proper treatment, and al
lows the malady to get a firmer hold
on you. Liniments may ease the
pain, but they will 10 more cure the
Rheumatism than paint will change
the fibre of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered
perfect and complete cure. which is
called "Rheumacide." Tested in
hundreds of cases, it has effected
the most marvellous cures; we be-
lieve it will cure you. "Rheumacide
"gets at the joints from the inside"
sweeps the pcisons out of the system,
tones up the stomach, regulates the
liver and kidneys and makes you
well all over. Rheumacde STRIKES
the root of the disease and removes
its cause" This splendid remedy is

Wheat Older Than Historv

Wheat belongs to the wholly distinct
botanical family of the grasses. Its
ancestral home is unknown, but so far
as early narratives possess evidential
value there seems some reason to
credit its place of origin to western
Asia. Wheat is older than the history
of the man who has sown it from
the beginning of the farmers art
The earliest memorials record wheat
as already under cultivation; many
races believed it the gift of the gods
The misconception as to the origin of
this cereal suggested in the question
may have been based upon a faulty
recollection Of a theory once proposed,
namely that wheat was a cultivation
derivatiye of the wild Triticum ova-
tunl, grass of the Levant This
grass was put under selective cultiva-
ton for a score of years and it re
sponded to the effort in a consider
able degree. 1t developed into a bet
ter grass, but grass tt remained; it
did not become wheat
