From The Southern Commercial
Congress.

Washington, June l, 1912.
Congress has been petitioned to day
by the Southern Commercial Congress
to provide a complete survey of all
swamp and overlooked land in the
United States, to be followed by plan
for draining each Individual project as
a part of complete system of reclama-
ton.
The survey would include an examin-
alton of the soil of swamp and overs
flowed lands, showing their value from
an agricultural standpoint, adaptibility
for growing crops and an estimate of
the cost of such reclamation. There
are more than 100000 acres of such
land in the country.
The petition was presented to the
Senate by Senator Duncan U. Fletcher,
of Florida, president of the Southern
Commercial Congress, and was signed
by him and DR.. C. j. Owens, secretary
treasurer of the Congress.
At the fourth annual convention of
the Southern Commercial Congress- at
Nashville, Tenn, April $40, a resolu-
ton introduced by John M. Parker, of
New Orleans, first president of the
Southern Commercial Congress-, that
Congress be petitioned to provide for
reclamation of this land, was unanimous
ly passed. The resolution also provided
for a nationwide educational campaign
by the Southern Commercial Congress
to show the economic value of reclaim
lug this land, and calling on all conn
mercial organizations to assist in the
campaign.

NEW CROPS OF EVERYTHING, BUT
THE BEST CROP OF ALL is THE
GRADUATING CROP

This is natures season OF
promise all we'll as performance.
She points with pride" to her
new crop of everything beauti-
full to look upon or necessary for
the sustenance of man, and pro-
nounces them all very good.
And we echo her praise as she
clothes the earth with fresh
carpets of green, and arrays
the trees and the plants in a
wealth of foliage and flowers.
We encore her still more heartily
as she brings on her creature"
comforts, her strawberries, her
cherries, even her gooseberries,
her vegetables sweet with the
favors on which she holds the
only patent, and we are happy
at the banquet of life at the sue
ceeding courses that are promised
on the menu card of her summer
and autumn seasons. 1t is flood
tide in the life of the year, and
the blood of the race 'quickens
in accord with and in reponse to
the swelling impulses of the
physical world.
But of the new crops that
come to us at this period the
fairest and the best are those
human plants and flowers which
our schools, colleges and univer-
sites are presenting to mankind
in their graduating classes.
There may be many gooseberries
among them, though even the
gooseberry has it's uses,
and once a goose-berry is not
always a gooseberry; but the
great majority Of them repre-
sent beauty or value, and
we welcome them as a needed
addition to the forces which
make for life and strength and
health.
The thoughts Of youth are
long, long thoughts, and some
times, the cynic and the disap-
pointed may say, they are long
way off from the truth; and the
graybeard, to whom the waters
of life have grown bitter, shades
his head gloomily as he descants
of the awakening that awaits
them later, as their visions
vanish and their illusions fade
away.
But we know that the gray
beard and the cynic are all
wrong, and that it is they who
have become blind and not
youth with its dreams and
ambitions. Youth represents
the true things, the real things
of life; and just in proportion as
men and women preserve the
lofty ideals, the glorious en-
thusiasms of youth, just in that
proportion do they remain a
vitalizing force in the world.
The veterans and the middle
aged need the reinforcements of
youth that come out from the
schools to the firing line every
year. We need their energy,
their faith, their beautiful
dreams, and the sky above and
the earth beneath grow brighter
and fairer as these fresh cohorts
OF nope march on to the field of
human progress and endeavor.
All hail to the rainbow hosts of
optimism! The sublime faith
and hope of youth create a new
heaven and new earth. It is
the only sign in which great and
lasting conquests are made.
Rlvet it fast to your shields and
keep it close to your hearts:
never part with it SO long as you
Shall live, young men and maid
ems, it you would make YOUR
own life worth living and this
good old world of ours a still
better place for all of u.s.

inside a small piece of butter, pepper
and salt. Replace little Of the onion
scooped out. Roll each onion up in a
nice suet crust, tie up In q Toured
cloth and boil about an hour and
quarter. Serve with stewed beef or
hot gravy only.
Boil a pint OF broken spaghetti in
salted water for twenty minutes. then
drain. In a saucepan put one heaping
tablespoonful OF butter. one cupful OF
cheese, grated fine; one-eighth Of
teaspoOnful of salt. Il dash Of cayenne
and one-half cupful of milk and stir
over the fire until the cheese Is nearly
melted. Take from the fire and add
the yolks OF three eggs. beaten. and
mix with one-half cupful Of milk.
Stir in the spaghetti and turn into q
buttered dish. Bake In a very hot
oven until a light brown.

Cover tightly and set in a moderate

cooked about an hour sprinkle with a
teaspoonful Of salt. When done let 1t

RICE FEEDS HALF THE RACE.
SSAooo.ooo Human Beings Uss This
Grain as Thsir Chief Food.

The value Of rice as an edible prod
uct can scarcely receive more striking
confirmation than is given by its eN-
tenslve use. 1t is almost the only food
OF from one-third TO one-half Of the
vhole human race. The population of
China is ioi,vD0.0O, and rice forms the
principal food of its people. India has
I1","oo,~go people. and the same state
ment may be made with reference to
their use Of rice. Japan has a popu-
iation of 100000. and rice forms 81
per cent Of their total sustcnance
The population Of the remaining rice
consuming countries of Asia and Afri-
ca may he roughly estimated at So
Wo"n Thus it appears thli no fewer
than lEi.Utn,ir0 human beings, or 54o
per cent Of the total population of the
earth, have rice for their principal food.
This fact alone stamps it as the earth's
most important cereal.

THE START OF BANKING.

In the Thirteenth Century.

The falazzo San Giorgo. on the
Piazza Caricamcnto, Genoa. has played
an Important role in the history Of this
Italian city and Of the world of busi-
ness. il WAS built In 1860 by order of
Gugliemo Boccanegra. captain OF the
republic of Genoa. and after serving as
his residence was the headquarters Of
the celebrated company and Bank Of
st. George.
Our modern system Of banking sprang
from this historic edifice, and the So
cieta dele Compere di San Giorgio was
the first limited liability company. The
architect of the palace was a monk
named Oliviero. Although its architec
ture has undergone number Of
changes, the facade still speaks elO-
qucntly of the thirteenth century. Its
arcadcs, with pointed arches, are ex-

DUMAS WAS FOND OF DOGS.

Fondness for dogs has been a mark
ed characteristic of many famous men.

told that he once had dog as hos
pitable as was his master and that the
dog once invited twelve other dogs to
Monte Cristo, Dumas palace, named
after his famous novel, Dumas facto-
tum in chief wanted to drive off the
whole pack.

servant.

REAL LIGHT HOUSEKEEPING.
Ingenuity ~ Essential, but, Given
rhat ProbssM 10 Quito Easy.

rhat, PrsSsss~ 10 Quito Easy.
One light housekeeper says that
when she first tried It she found it the
heaviest work she had ever undertak-
en-. But now she has discovered the
secret.
In selecting quartsrs she says to be
careful to get rooms that are sun light
ed. Having got quarters, the furnish
ing problem begins. This was the way
she solved 1t, says the New York Post:
I'VE got plain, unstained white pine
furniture and stained 1t gray. A fairly
good sized table, two straight chairs,
two wicker chairs, which We left in
their natural state. and a comfortable
rocking chair, one of which l picked
up at an auction sale, completed the
furnishing Of our living room. The
wicker chairs needed cushions, and Mt
the shops they were 81. So we bought
a cotton comfortable for IS cents and
cretonne for so cents and made our
cushions. We had chosen a soft gray
wall paper. and the colors in the Gre
tonne were Of Old blue. We had a
gray rag rug on the floor, with an old
blue border. Our curtains were Of
cheesecloth, which we hemstitched at
night after We came from our work.
I'VE needed a bookcase. and one of
the girls conceived the idea Of taking
three Of the boards that dress goods
come wrapped around, putting spools
between and stringing the whole out
fit together with strong cord. We
stained that gray, too, to match the
other furniture. We made two Of
these 'bookcases' for the living room
and one for each of our own rooms.
I'm the matter Of bed covers one Of
the girls had an idea which turned out
happily. We bought a sheet Of soft
light wool from one of the department
stores for $1.85 and covered 1t with
ten cent silkaline. This, with one pair
of blankets. was ample. In the early
fall we began our quilting, none of us
knowing thing about It What we
turned out were not products that our
Ernndmothers would have boasted of,
but the tackings held, and the comfort
ers were light and warm, costing less
than $3.50 for each.
"A dressing table was made out Of
pine box with mirror over 1t. The
whole thing was covered with silka-
line, and the only cost was for the
mirror. Our dining room was in
brownish tints. and our curtains were,
We thought, artistic triumphs. We
bought crocus baggins and hemstitch-
ed it, and we found 1t artistic. and the
curtains never got dirty or didn't show
It II they did.
