Now listen to me, Little Beginning
Business Girl: don't stop your ears

your business career mile stoned with
some bitter and cruel and heart-rend-
ing mistake that you never can quite
forget.
Do you know, for instance, that
when you are employed by a business
man, you have agreed to sell him sc
much Of your daily energy beside your
business ability?
Ability does not count much If your
eyes are dulled and your steps are lag

Do you know that, unless you are
presenting yourself each morning al

your part Of his days work, you are

On the contrary she is sent to await

claimed, was fumigated before leaving
Honduras, but the fumigation there

An instance of it occurred here only
a week ago, when the steamer Wilma

were aboard were killed by the second
fumigation, whereas only four were

OF Oklahoma's ~44.324,1O0 acres Of
land, only 10 OO0. 600 are in cultiva-
ton. Not only is there oppor unity
for agricultural development but the
State has a considerable area Of coal
lands. It's oil lands are large. In
1850 Oklahoma produced &c per cent
of the total oil production in the
5 ates. But Oklahoma is Just Begin

engineers in the Gulf Coast country
investigating the underground water
supply in the vicinity Of KinSsville,
TEX. TO be used for irrigating by ei-
cctric power pumping.
Response of the Southwest in pop
ulating and development to the
building Of d railroad is summarized
in the Gulf Coast country of Texas by
Mr.. Yoakum as follows:
When the Frisco system art
| cd its line five years ago from New
Orleans to Brownsville the land was
owned by cattlemen. These cattle ba-
Irons owned domains of them equal
in size to. an entire New England
State. Today these great ranches are
being cut up into small farms; vcr-
ldant fields are beginning to occupy
the acres where cattle roamed but
a short while ago; factories are arts
ing along the railroad.
Immense irrigation projects have
been and are now being developed;
1,150 miles of main irrigation canals
with oyer a thousand miles Of later
ais, representing an investment Of
$40, 600, 900, have been constructed;
cotton gins, sugar mills, canning fac
tories and industries of all descrip-
lions are going up, and settlers are
pouring in from all over the Uni
ted States, and many from other
! countries.
I'm the last five years the assessed
taxable value OF the property traver-
| sed by the 'Frisco's Gulf line has
increased more than $4,000, 900 and
the population has increased over 48

is 30 miles of line per 10000 popula-
ton, while the five Middle Western
States-IlIinois. Iowa, Michigan, Wis
consin and Indiana-show an aver
age of less than 30 miles of line per
group of 10000 inhabitants.
B. F. Yoakum, chairman Of the
board of st. Louis & San Francisco
says regarding Southwestern rail-
road development:
ITO make it possible for Missouri.
Arkansas, Oklahoma. New Mexico,
Louisiana and Texas to continue to
increase in population as they have
done in the past twenty years tthey
gained 81 per cent? the railroad mile
age will have to grow at least az
fast as it did during that time COS
per cent? and these six States, which
now have about $4,000 miles of rail
Iroad, should in twenty years have
70,520 miles, or 2T,520 new miles
and should have al least half as much
additional mileage in second and
third tracks. sidings yards and ter
! minals. This would mean a total Of
1890 miles of new railroad.
Using $4,000 per mile as the
cost Of the 27,52O miles of new single
track with its sidings, yards. termi-
mails and equipment, and 100000 Fer
mile as the cost of the 1850 miles
additional track, this would call for
expenditures of 81, 361,2OO,00 O
Spread over twenty years this would
mean an average annual expenditure
Iof $50, $4,000 to properly take care
of the increased population and bust
ness Of these six Southwestern Stat
es.
Not one of these six Southwestern
States has as yet gotten out of the
|swaddling clothes of development"
In discussing the development of
the several States he said nothing
had been done to utilize Missouri's
iron ore; large areas Of lead and
zinc deposits await the miner, its
.coal fields are only partly develop
ed and its agricultural are
mostly undeveioped. In the extreme
South eastern corner Of Missouri, the
overflow section. there are 1000, 900
acres which, receiving the benefits of
recent drainage, have appre-
ated, tremendously in value.
There are 25,00J,p00 acres Of
land on both sides Of the Mississippi
River below Cape GirardeaC, No,
which swat proper drainage faci.i-
ties. Of these 100000 acres atc
located in Missouri Arkansas and
Louisiana. Divided INTO 40-ccre farms
these would provide for 100000
people. An average production val
ued at $40 an acre after drainage
would bring in a yearly crop of ST.
100000.

The Hurdy-Gurdy
BY PERCY SHAW.

/ am sitting at my window,
And as far as / can see
There are roof tops without number
But there's neither grass nor tree;
Not a robin fiaunts his presence
Yet / know that spring Is here.
For the hurdy gurdy's music
Comes a-calling TO my ear.
Suddenly the air grows balmy
And my eyes begin to gaze
On a certain primrose pathway
OF the long-forgotten days.
Hatless. Nell and l are walking;
/ can see her cheeks agiow,
As we lived the Joys Of springtime
In the reetlng long ago.
All about the birds are singing.
Hnl and field are velvet green:
Fled the tumbling brook a-laughing
Where the sunlight lit the scene
Side by side We went unspeaking,
And the words meant TO say.
Somehow they were never uttered
On that strangely happy day.
When I'm sitting al my window,
Just as now It seems to me
That the hundy-gurdy's music
Rolls the dusty curtains free;
Once again the birds are singing,
As We roam the primrose way.
And | look at Nell and faitsr
In that new remembered May.
