subscription given to your local
newspaper for some friend in
the West will be a practical
help, for through it he can see
what possibilities are now in
the South for him, and, also, it
will tell his neighbor about the
South. More than that, you can
give his name and address to
your board of trade which will
send him literature, or you can
send same to the railroads and
we will do it. We will not send
him literature exclusively about
the Clinchfield either, for we
are enough concerned about
this matter of getting more

ing our money in trying to get
all the railroads into the Back
Home" movement. Our motto
il "More people in one part of
the South means more business
in all parts of the South" and
we want more business. There
are in tins country millions of
people who need the opportuni-
ties here and unused in these

this simple plan in which ali

is something definite to do.

The Sundry Civil bill, which
was the last of the great supply
bill to pass Congress before it's
expiration by limitation Of law
on Saturday carries S7,253 900
for works authorized by former
river and harbor acts going as
far back as 1899. In several
cases these direct appropria-
tions will complete contract
authorizations. One feature of
the Sundry Civic bill relating to
river and harbor contract work
is an appropriation Of $4,000
which is made Immediately
available for n survey of the
northern and northwestern
lakes which include the prep
aration aud printing aud the
issuing OF charts and bulletins
and of Investigating lake levels
with view to their regulation.
This appropriation is the out

Of some of the north estern
lakes, particularly Lake Michi-
gan, would be considerably
lowered, Scientists have fought
the idea vigorously, but lake
captains and those who have
followed the water for a livli-
hood in the northwestern sec

If the Chicago river is improved
as a part OF the Lakes to-the-
Gulf system it will have n very
material effect upon lake levels.

In its last analysis the matter

plan is for every person row i'm
