SOAP FOR THE WORLD

1t is reported that Messrs. Lever
Brothers of Port Sunlight are esta0-
fishing a soap industry on the KOngo
basin of an extensive kind. This is
being undertaken in connection with
a number of Belgians and with the
consent of the Belgian government
and the approval of King Albert The
chairman of the company will be W.
II. Lever and he will have as direct
ors six Englishmen and three Bel
gians.
The reasons for starting this enter
prise on the KongO basin are mainly
that it is particularly favorable for the
regular production of the raw mate
rial. and the fact that the tract OF
country consigned to them by the Bel
gian government. constitutes a virgin
country, where the danger of competi
ton is virtually eliminated.-Chr

PRAISE FOR THE MockINe-sIRD

A southern editor appeals for more
drastic legislation for the protection
of song-birds and intends to keep the
question before the legislature of his
state until suitable action is taken.
That the birds have a powerful advO-
cate is evident when one reads the
following editorial in behalf of the
mocking-bird, that wonderfully sweet
singer of the southland:
For several seasons a mocking-bird
had sung every day, and often in the
watches of the night, around the
home of citizen of Houston. He fill
the air with the matchless music of
his song-song that no singer before
the footlights of the most gorgeous
stage could equal. His coming with
the first dawn of spring was joyfully
awaited, and the one frail but almost
ceaseless monarch of the world of
song gave pleasure for months to hun
dreds with the rich, resonant notes of
his nightly serenade. He did no harm.
He preyed on no bud or flower; he de-
stroyed no seed or plant; he made
war on no other bird. He filled and
performed the mission which the hand
of God had lowered him to perform,
and sang and sang until the very air
was tremulous with the quivering
notes of his unprecedented art.
THE south and the mOcking-bird
are always associated in the minds of
men. He has been made the theme of
song and story. Poets have listened
to his witching notes and been inspir-
ed to tune their Tyres to loftier. sweet
er song; and every lover of the beau
tiful, every man or woman whose emo
lions are responsible to the influence
of that which is pure and sweet and
inspiring should lend his or her influ-
ence to save this sweetest singer and
assure to the south the continual mu-
sic Of her monarch minstrel. The
practical and the beautiful, the utili-
tarion and the esthetic interests of the
south appeal alike to have this done

THE ENGLISH PARCELS POST

A late London special says that the
English parcels post became an ac-
complished fact on August /, 1888 In
order to understand how immense was
the want supplied by it, it is only ne
cessary to mention the extent to
which it has been taken advantage of.
In the first year of its existence the
number of parcels sent through the
post amounted to some 100000 a
sufficiently satisfactory beginning.
In the second year these figures
rose to something just short of %,
100000, while by the end of the first
decade the su mtotal was 54,034, 900
The end of the century saw a fur.
Their increase to 75,44S,0 900. and finally
in the last printed report. for the year
1910, the figures are given at lis,
10000. Of this last number 1921,
9S4 were received from abroad, and
1908, 200 were sent abroad. Some idea
of the stimulus given to trade by this
post may be gathered from the fact
that these outgoing foreign parcels
were valued at $25.362 COS, and the in
coming ones at $7,319,740

Farmers Should Have Pride

About most things the southern
farmer has pride enough. but there
are some very important things con-
corning which he does not think
enough of himself. The western farm
er, for example, thinks his time and
brain too valuable to be frittered
away on one-horse plows ana out-or-
date implements. 1t is a pity that our
southern farmers do not yet feel them
selves as good as the western farmer

EQUAL SUFFRAGE IN THE FAM
lily LIFE

OF the effect of woman suffrage in
home life Alice Stone Blackwell
writes to the New York Sun: Ex-Gov-
ernor Adams Of Colorado contributes
TO the Pueblo Star-Journal an article
in reply to . recent criticism Of equal
suffrage. Mr.. Adams says:
Equal suffrage has not disrupted
the Colorado family; rather it has uni
fed the family Political equality
gives another bond of mutual inter
est. Tolerance comes when rights
are held in common. The discussion
Of civic and political questions is ben
eficial to parents and children. 1t is
a new theme My criticism would be
that many families do not discuss
these matters enough The home that
does talk about public affairs is a bet
ter home, a more sympathetic home,
than where conversation is devoted to
gossip and the frailties of neighbors.
Suffrage adds no new arrow to the
culver Of family discord. Eight times
out Of tc2 tie vie votes IS her hus-
band does, BUT the fact that she can
be Independent and vote differently if
she so pleases adds to her Importance
as a factor in the family. She is held
in higher respect. Her new power is
a salye and not an irritant"
