CHINA MADE FIRST PAPER
From Celestial Empire Art Was Car ried to Europe Through Central
 Asia by Arabs.

Next to cotton spinning, the pro- duction of paper is Japan's greatest industry. Centuries before Occiden- tai peoples learned to manufacture paper from rags it was being made in China from actual fibers. From China this art was carried to Europe through central Asia by the Arabs.
 Egyptians are considered to have been the first paper makers, but their papyrus was not real paper, but merely the peeled bark of reeds growing on the banks of the Nile. The material for making paper first employed by the Chinese was the so- called paper mulberry bush, which is known as kozu in Japan.
 The value of the annual produc- tion of Japanese machine equippo mills is about seven and one-half million dollars, and that of the hand mills reaches nine million dollars. In 1909 there were 27 factories with 1S2 machines for the production of European" paper in operation ii Japan, and these had total of 6,4S6 employees. The quantity of Euro pean paper produced by these mills in 1909 amounted to 123,947 short tons.

WELL MATCHED.

Really modern couples are just as apt to be truly mated as the old- fashioned sort of which we read about in the romances. A young Clevelander who is often described as a "man about town" became en- gagged not long ago, and he spoke as follows to the lady who had honored him: "I don't want to have anything that I must hide after We are mar ried, dear. So l may as well tell you that l play poker, l smoke ciga- rettes, l drink, l stay out late and I bet on the races"

HE HAD NO USE FOR II
Prlze Cup ls Too Large for a Sugar Bowl and Too Small for
 Churn.

James Todd, who lives near Great Falls, Mont, has piece of silver ware which he can find no use for. and is therefore desirous of selling. It is big cup that was awarded to him as prize for the best crop of wheat shown in recent grain exhi- bition.
 It is fine cup and all that, but Mir. Todd simply cannot use it in the farming business. He points out that it is too large for a sugar bowl too small for a churn and not of the right shape for a feed can. Nor could it be utilized as soup tureen, a baking dish or a water cooler
 Consequently Mr Todd has invit- ed offers for the big cup, having re- solved not to keep it about the house as a temptation to thieves. More over, he intimates that if he should happen to win another prize he would like it in cash.

CRYING MAY BE A HABIT
Mothers Should Not Be Bound by RoOa tne as the Baby Crows
 Older.

Baby should not be allowed to get in the habit of crying if he is well. Some mothers have become so bound to routine that they do not change it as baby grows older, and he cries more and more as the system appeals to him less and less. For instance, one mother who had adopted the routine of putting her baby outdoors in the carriage early in the morning, leaving him by himself, and going to him only when it was time to feed him. This was very proper rou- tine for the first months, but when he was seven months of age she came to me to find out why he cried so much. It was, of course, because he was getting too old to sleep all day and all night too. She was mak- ing fussy baby of him through constant discomfort and crying.
 Older children also form the habit of crying at the slightest provoca- tion. They need tactful treatment to get them out of it. However, ha- bitual crying is far more frequently due to errors in diet in a child of any age than to all the other causes put together. Next in the order of frequency would come the spoiled child who needs new parents more than anything else.
 Earache and open safety pins as causes for crying are so much dwelt upon that even the father can make that diagnosis. sis.-Woman's Home Companion.

turn out and hear him.
This IS the kind of campaign the
president expects to wage in every
county. He may not be able to
speak at every local in each county
but his dates viii be such that all of
the people will be able to hear him if
they so desire.
One thing is certain, the value Of
the organization has never been
proved as it is being proved now, and
greater things are bound to come as
result Of the work Of the Farmer s

The people Of Greene County will
not regret having heard Carter and

Laurel Argus.
Hon. B. P. Hlrrison, the able
young Congressman from this dis
trict has introduced a bill asking
that the appropriation for post Of
fee building in Ldlrel be increased
from $50, 1000 TO SDO, 900.
Mr.. Harrison wis a recent visitor
to Laurel, when he made diligent in
quiry into the nefds and posi- bill
ties of the city, aid he went away
convinced that it would be poor
economy for the government to erect
a $50, 900 building which would at
best be little morelthan adequate to
meet present demands, and which
would unquestionsbly be outgruwn
within a few years.
Gulfport and Hattiesburg have
been voted larger appropriation for
federal buildings, and those who are
familiar with the immediate pros
poets of Mississippi cities are frank
to admit that Laurel will be the
storm center of development during
the next few years.
Mr.. Harrison will doubtless re-
celve valuable assistance from the
other members of the Mississippi
delegation, and from Congressman
Fordney of Michigan, who has large
interests in Laurel and who Yields a
potential influence with the admins
tration.
1t is to be hoped that the increas-
ed appropriation will be secured be-
fore the contrsA for the Laurel

he has made popular approval shake

AS matter of favoritism it had
been pretty correctly presaged that
Governor Brewer would not reap
point Judge Buckley, as Buckley was
not so close to him as AmiS or Alder
man and perhaps other lawyers in
the district. But the tide of pres
sure for Buckleys return rose too
high to be unminded and Brewer
democratic dispositioned as h e S
heard the murmur of the vox populi IN
the 10th. Judicial district and gave
them back the man whom they want
ed for the Office for the present.
With Alderman out Of the race,
Judge Buckley would easily have
swept Greene, Wayne and Clarke
counties like a cyclone IN an election
before the people for the place, and
got a good vote in Lauderdale, quite
enough to certainly insure his cleo
ton. A bill is now being shaped to
provide for such an election in next
August, carrying out the Elective
Judiciary to the Constitution, which
bill if it can run the gauntlet Of con-
stitutionality, will doubtless be a.
dopted. If it is, just watch our
good friend Judge Buckley sweep the
district. In fact We doubt if he
would have opposition. All of which
we wanted to say after Alderman
dropped out of the race, but forbare
after Brewer put the muzzle on as it
were, as we did not want to damage
Buckley s chances for appointment.
