DON'T WANT 70 Be DOMINATED.

just as metropolitan centers are
encroaching upon the moral well
fare of our urban life. SO will be
the effect of unlimited land cor
porations upon both our material
and moral welI-beine. To q GER
tain extent it is the privilege Of
any foreign" enterprise, instltus
tion or syndicate to- take a hold
where local powers relax and refuse
to show their business sense and
their civic loyalty on behalf of
State or community development.
While We welcome capital and
brain and brawn. we do not want
to be dominated by any Of there
things in men who cannot possibly
cope as we ourselves with condi-
tions and situations known to our
people betteKthan to anybody else.
and with problems that we ourselves
should solve. And we are we'll
able to overcome. It is not ques-
tion Of ability; but Of the mind s
alertness and activity that tend to
the development Of industry and
energy and determination to con-
troll issues that IegitimateIy belong
to as.

the VALUE OF OUR LAND.

The Lincoln county man that
sells out his hundreds of acres for
farthing is blind to his own in
terests and that of posterity. And
he is twice blind if he sells to
some unprogressive. slovenly, dom t
care purchaser.
Mississippi needs to advertise
her lands. The people do not yet
know that cut over pine lands can
be bought for $40 per acre and that
on this land two or three crops can
be raised each year. Here 200 to
400 bushels of sweet potatoes, 300
to 500 gallons of syrup 200 to 300
bushels of Irish potatoes can be
raised to the acre. and all garden
truck prospers. 1t is also known
that strawberries grown on South
Mississippi land are better in
quality than at Hammond. And
yet land around Hammond sells at
SIS and 5000 per acre.
Be it remembered, however, that
the Brooks-ScanIon Company, of
Kentwood, alone is spending SO, 600
monthly IN advertising cut-over
lands. 1t is stated that the entire
State of Mississippi is not spending
that much.
Advertising pays.

AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION.

1t is estimated that under our
present conditions of mismanage-
ment of our forests the average an
nual growth is not more than ten
cubic feet per acre. We use up
each year as much timber as grows
in three. Under proper forest
management each acre should yield
80 cubic teet easily. In Prussia.
where considerable attention is
paid to forest management, the cut
per acre has been increased from
20 cubic feet per acre in 1880 to 65
cubic feet in 1904. The average
annual increase for the whole Ger
man Empire is more than so cubic
feet per acre.
In 1870 the Northeastern states
were the chief timber producing
states of our country, producing
approximately 81 per cent of the
total. By 800 this region hao been
largely cut out and another invad-
ed-the Lake States. The Lake
States were then the chief timber
producing States. By 1905 the
chief source of supply had shifted
to the Southern States which were
producing about 35 per cent Of the
total. The next move will be to
the Pacific states, after which there
will be no more shifting since there
are no more virgin forests to in
wade.
In 1908, Long estimated that the
yellow pine stumpage in Mississ-
lppi amounted to 46 billion board
feet. The cut between the years
1890 and 1906 has been estimated
at IL billion board feet. and the
cut for 1909 was slightly more than
two and one half billions.
In France, timber worth 100
francs 10 1904 was worth 400 in
1877. In the United States prices
on lumber Of different kinds ad-
vanced 100 per cent from 1874 to
1882: from 1899 to 1909 hickory
advanced 64 per cent. yellow poplar
81 per cent. ash 54 per cent, oak 48
per cent, cypress So per cent. white
pine 4S per cent, cottonwood IA per
cent and yellow pine so per cent.
And the end is not yet-prices are
bound to go still higher. Should
not the timber owners of MississIp-
pi begin to prepare to take advan-
tage Of them?

OVERWHELMING EVEN GOOD ROADS.

There are some few people
among US, and thoughtful people,
too, who thought that when we had
the good roads we could rest se-
curely, ride delightfully."- and reflect
serenely on our achievement. But,
alas! It is just one - thing
after another! Now we find that
we have to protect ourselves
against abuses of these same roads
by the travelling public.
If the people pay for a thing it
belongs to them and the roads are
paid for. Of course the season has
been unfavorable; but the enor-
mously loaded lumber wagons are
enough to ruin the roads in good
weather. "a
We have a law limiting the
weight of loads, which may be
hauled. to five thousand pounds.
This law was made before the Good
Roads were inaugurated: but re-
mains in effect. This law is more
honored now in the breach than in
the observance.
In justice to all concerned the
road regulation should be aplied.
A prominent county-man remarked
the other day Looks like you all're
trying to keep US out o'town.
The roads are much worse in the
suburbs than at greater distance.1g

FOR SEA BATHING OR MOTOR
Here lie Combination Headwear That
lie Pretty and Has Additional
Merit of Cheapness.

If you love to sea battle and also
to motor and cannot afford to buy
distinctive caps for each sport, there
is a new combination in headwear
perfectly suited to your purse. 1t is
an affair in white rubber having a
gored crown and the three-inch brim
finished with rows of machine stitch
ing which distinguishes the regula-
ton beach or steamer cap, and, like
that familiar article, is trimmed with
a band and bow, also in rubber.
The lining of the crown forms an in
side cap of rubber which, instead of
being pushed upward. is drawn down
ward, fits closely about the head and
protects the half from the water,
while the brim Protects the eyes from
the suns glare. Without the hat, the
cap may be used for motoring in fine
weather as it is light and sheds the
dust, but when travelling during a
high wind. it is better to use the
tight-ftting cap without the upper
section.

Baked Milk Toast.

Trim the crusts from slices of bread
cut about half an inch thick and toast
to delicate brown. Spread each slice
lightly with butter, sprinkle lightly
with salt and arrange the slices in a
deep dish. Pour over them enough
milk to cover the toast, putting it on
slowly that it may soak into the toast.
If you wish to expedite the work of
preparation, heat the milk; but IL you
have plenty of time 1t may be put on
cold. When the dish is full cover it
and set it in the oven and leave it
there for 20 minutes. At the end of
that time the contents of the dish will
be soft and steaming; remove the
cover and leave the dish in the oven
long enough to crisp the top layer
about ten minutes-and serve from the
dish in which it was cooked.

SUNDAY NIGHT SUPPER
HousEkEEPER TELLS How SHE
HAS SOLVED A PROBLEM.
Quite Possible to Have Good Things
to Eat and Yet Reduce Work to
Minimum-HoM She
Does 1t.

Sister and i always get the Sunday
nights supper so that mother can
have arrest from the household cares,
writes a correspondent of the Boston
Herald. We have concocted some
rather good things to eat, and am go
ing to tell you about them, because
the Sunday nights supper is always
bothersome meal One of the things
we have often is cheese sandwiches.
hot
They are made of brown bread
which has been cut very thin and
spread with a paste which has been
made by rubbing six tablespoonfuls OF
freshly grated cheese with two table
spoonfuls of butter This is then
sprinkled with salt and paprika and
the two sides of the sandwich firmly
pressed together and the whole fried
in hot butter. Just as soon as it Is
light brown in color 1t Is taken from
the fire. Sister has cheese and nut
sandwich which nearly everybody
likes, and she serves this, too, for af-
ternoon teas sometimes.
Su1ChSH duQ nut SdnQWlCnSS are
good, too. Any chicken which is left
over is chopped very fine and almonds
and English walnuts are chopped fine
and added to the chicken in about
the proportion of a cupful of chicken
to quarter of cupful of nuts This
is then softened with cream. so that
1t will spread easily on bread. 1t is
then seasoned with salt and paprika.
You can use either white or brown
bread, whichever you like best
We have pretty way of serving
eggs. too. by making hollow in a
slice of buttered toast Into this put
an egg sprinkled with grated cheese
pour a little cream over it and set
in the oven to bake or just leng
enough for the egg to set. 1t is quite
| delicious, and e change from the ordi
nary way of serving eggs.
The other day at an afternoon tea
We had the most delicious chocolate
| sandwiches. Powdered chocolate is
| mixed with sugar, either boiling water
or milk, and a little vanilla and
| stirred over the fire until it is per
fectly smooth and thick Then it is
taken OF the stove to cool, and before
it is quite cool it is spread between
either thicknesses of bread or crack
ers. Really. you ought to try it some
| times; it is delicious.
