Especial from United Press.)


Atlanta. Ca. March S-European
diplomats and shrewd hnanciers from
the North mingled with farmers from
the South and the Far West and Sen
ators and Governors from various
ster gathering. numbering more than
10000. marking the opening of the
Southern Commercial Congress-.
with "wfdeawake South" as its
slogan, the Congress expects to make
national history during the three days

tirely to the extension of welcome to
visitors. After today the Southern
ers themselves will play almost sec
ondary part in the Congress. the re-
sources of the section being discussed
by representative men from the North
and West of the Mason and Dixon
line

gress by Right Rev. G. K. Nelson.
Bishop of Atlanta, an address of well
come by Governor Brown of Georgia,
and a response by General Julian
Scarr of North Carolina, Vice Presi-
dent of the Congress Edwin L. Quar-
les of Washington. d. c.. explained
the objects of the Congress as fol-
lows:
A union effort on the part of all
Southern commercial bodies and in
dividuals to establish a greater ma
ton through a greater South and to
all misunderstanding regarding the
South, its prospects. its hopes and its
opportunities.
Hating the South as the future
source of the food supply not only of
the nation but of large portion Of
James Wilson urged farmers below
the Mason and Dixon line to pay less
attention to the cultivation of cotton
ana more to the raising OF live stock
and staple vegetables In part. he
said:
The greatest agricultural need OF
the South is more and better live
stock The greatest obstacle in the
way OF meeting this need is cattle
tick. The losses caused by these par
at from $40. 900 900 to 800 0O0. 900 a year
Fortunately. we know that this plague
can be removed.
Heretofore. oil production from pea
nuts has been entirely confined to
France. 1t would be possible to put
this upon a remunerative basis in the
United States. This country sends
abroad annually for it's raw drug ma
:erials. Notwithstanding that much of
this material could be economically
grown at home. .camphor. which is
almost entirely imported. can be
grown in Florida. 1t has been dem
onstrated that paprieka peppers. of
the Hungarian type, which have for
80 long been imported, can be grown
here. Tea has been successfully
grown at Summerville. 9. G. The de-
nrand for the homegrown product now
greatly exceeds the output.
The average farmer only gets out
OF the soil one-tenth of what he could
II he did his best. This is true In
nearly all the productions. I note
-hat I'm a large norton az the South
The women go into the field and hoe
cotton and corn This is no disgrace
but 1t is not always economic. The
time has come when every man must
40 two or three times the work he has
done in the past

THE CHIN AND THROAT

Remember always to arch the
throat, almost as a horse does. II
a woman, talking to some one, turns
her shoulders slightly from him, and
then glances back, the line of the
throat is always good. For myself,
have at all times thought the delicate
line from the tip of a woman's ear
to the tip of her shoulder one of the
most exquisite of the feminine body.
Many artists, I believe, would agree
with me. So remember what I say,
dear ladies-do not spoil or hide that
lovely contour with high linen collars
or boning. wear low collars, or If

NEW YORK PAPERS ON
BAlllNGER'S RESIGNATION

World-There has not been at
any time a question that the scan
DIAL destroyed Mr.. Ballinger's use
fulness and made his presence in
the cabinet an unnecessary drag
upon the administration. 1t would
have been wiser to have recognized
this fact long ago.
Tribune-ff Mr.. Fisher receives
the commentator of Mr., Balling-
er's critics for doing In Office ex-
actly what Mr.. Ballinger I'D, the
whole Ballinger conspiracy will be
completely exposed as one of per-
sonal persecution.
Sun-The American people have
not lost their love of fair play or
parted with their sense of decency.
We are sure they will agree with
the President that Richard A. Bal
Hnger has been 1.-The object of one
of the most INSCRIPTIONS con-
spfracies for the defamation of
character that history can show"
Times-We think 1t is well for
thu President and for the success
of MS administration that Secre-
tary Baliinger has resigned.
Press-All true friends of the
administration must rejoice at the
change for the better.
American--Let Charity say what
it will of Mr.. Ballinger, he belongs,
in deed and temper, to day that
has passed. He was a milestone
upon the neck of the Taft admin
istration. His retirement in the
face of the oneoning Congress.
with its stern threat of impeach-
ment, is thoroughly discreet.

congratulated not only upon the
retirement Of Mr.. Ballinger but up
on the successor he has chosen.

A Riddle Maxine Epoch.

There have been epochs 1T which rid
die making has been more especially
in vogue, and such epochs would APP
pear 10 occur at seasons of fresh in
tellectual awakening. Such an epoch
there was at the first glimmering of
new intellectual light in the second
half Of the seventh century. This was
the age of Aldhelm. bishop of Sher-
borne, the first in the roll of Anglo
Latin poets. He left considerable
number of enigmas in Latin heyame.
ters. Aldhelm died i'm 1909. Before
his time there was a collection of Lat
in riddles that bore the name of Sym
phosius. OF this work the date is un-
known. We only know that Aldhelm
used il. and we may infer that it was
then n recent product. The riddles Of
Symphosius were uniform in shape,
consisting each of three heyameter
lines.-Cornhill Magazine.

TRUE STANDARDS OF LIFE.
The Measure of Man Is What He Is,
Not What He Has

1t takes so long 10 learn how 10 live.
what life is for and what we ought TO
do with ours. We are so prone to live
in the future. to fret ourselves about
ii. We are so busy yearning for tie
joys we imagine other people have and
worrying about the trouble we imagine
we are having that we make OF the
present. the one thing we are sure of,
an endless regret.
And Of all the follies the limit is to
permit some one else TO make our
standards for us. Haven't we intelli-
gence? Can't we think for ourselves?
TO want things we don't need. many
we do not really care for. just because
some one else has them and wouldn't
understand if we didn't have them. To
struggle and strain 70 make a show
when all the neighbors know il is only
L show and would respect us q heap
more if we had the courage to be our
selves, Deaths standards ought 10 be
life'S standards. Death does not ask
how big house we hail from, nor how
many university degrees we have won.
nor what is our bank account. Not
what we have nor what we know. but
what we are. And that's our measure
of everybody but ourselyes.-Erman j.

An EnqIish Sanctuary.

four crosses on the main roads leading

MANY KINDS OF FLEAs.
About 400 Different Species Are Known
to NaturaliSts.

to Naturalists.
One Of the first naturalists who de-
voted themselves to watching feas,
with such microscopes as were then
available. was Leeuwenhoek, a Dutch
man. who lived ct the end Of theseven-
teenth century. Leeuwenhoek discov-
cred that small mite fed on the flea.
and it was this discovery which in
spired Swift's familiar lines:
So. naturalists observe, a flea
Hath smaller f1eas that on him prey
And these have smaller still to bite EN-
And SO proceed ad infinitum.
The flea's parasite. however, to be
accurate, is not another flea or
even another insect. but is mite
classed among the sarcoptidae. Lin
naeus. writing in 1853, described only
two species Of flea. The first, which
was the human flea, he rightly named
PuleX irritans. The second was the
chigoe Of hot countries. To this, on
account Of its burrowing habit, he
gave the name Of Pulex penetrans. At
the present day about 400 different
species Of fieas have been described
and named by the small band Of scien-
tific men who have devoted themselves
TO their study. Most Of these have
been discovered within quite recent
years. so it is probable that many new
forms and varieties will be collected
and observed.-Harold Russell in Lon
