FARMING IN
SOUTH MISSISSIPPI

To induce a Hattiesburg man to
awake at half past four o'clock a. m.
in order to have the privilege of trav-
cling seven miles in the country and
getting back in time for days bust
ness, there must be "a reason as Post
says. Since this is what The News
nan ed this morning, the reason is
stated, and it was, that News story
might be gotten, which, added to the
ever-increasing number of interesting
items being related regarding this
section would further emphasize the
statement constantly made, that sue

cut-over lands is easily possible. AS

pouring out sweet melody in measured
tones, as he rocked in the swaying
branches of the verdant forest, a de-
lightful tonic feeling came over the
pencil-pusher which made him glad he
was living.
1t Is said that example is better than

is doing about as effective preaching

PLAIN WORDS ON A
SOLEMN SUBJECT

In an article by Anne Bryan Mccall
in the August Womans Home Com
panion, entitled What a Girl Expects
of Man." appears the following:
"And this brings me to speak of
that thing which we discuss, if at all,
with too little frankness; the strength
of purity in man. For whatever
other strength man may have,
this would seem to be the highest
type of strength, and it is the supreme
strength that the normal woman longs
for. Yet this is the very thing of
which we speak least and are general
ally absurdly shy of mentioning; so
much so that many a girl does not
even know whether the man she con-
sents to marry has this higher type of
strength.
you may argue backward and for
ward about mans stronger tempta-
tons; you may argue that the average
girl is not capable of judging OF what
these temptations are, and SO is not
qualified to Judge of mans weakness
when he fails; but the old demand for
strength is still there, and cannat be
put aside by this or any other argu-
ment. 1t Is still strength that the girl
expects, and strength that the finest
type of girl demands.
Again, you see. we come back to
the same point. There is at bottom
no other way to true woman's favor
than by strength. This is not my pre-
ference, nor yours, nor mere opinion;
| 1t is great fundamental low of ma
ture, one of the underpinnings of the
world we enjoy; strength manifested in
hundred ways, manifested as health,
bravery, courage, daring, courtesy.
kindness, gentleness manifested in
original and brave thought; in honor;
above all, in bodily purity and moral
and spiritual force.
ut is all this that the normal girl
dreams of and longs for. desires and
expects; and according as she finds it
or fails to find it is her happiness made
or marred."
