Wordsworth on Real Eatats-

There is an interesting story of
Wordsworth, who went to call on Miss
Harriet Martineau at Ambleside, in
the house which she had built and laid
out, writes A. G. Benson in the Cen.
fury Magazine. There was q gathering
of neigbbors present, and Wordsworth
stood for long time at the window
contemplating the beautiful landscape
outside. Then he turned to the party
and said:
Miss Martineau, congratulate you
on your beautiful little domain. The
views are wonderful, and it will turn
out to be the wisest thing you ever did
In your life"
He paused for a moment, and the
guests expected some comment on the
uplifting effects of communion with
nature, but Wordsworth, with q fine
gesture, continued:
"Your property will certainly be
trebled In value within the next ten
years!"

EDITORIALS
AGAINST BILLBOARD
ADVERTISING

Widespread interest has recently
been excited by a report handed to
the mayor of New York City
against the abuses of street adver-
Using. 1t was stated by the COM
mission that the returns to adver-
tisers from this form of publicity
are low compared with other meth
DDS Of giving information.
The bill board nuisance would
not exist had not the American
people a tenacious sense Of the
rights of the land holder. If you
beat drum persistently the neigh
bors could arrest you for disturb
ing the peace, even though you
stand on your own land. If you 60
to the same spot and erect an ugly
advertising sign that defaces the
street, the neighbors can't touch
you even though you disturb their
peace of mind much more tn an
with base drum.
AS the New York com mission
suggests one excellent method of
dealing with bill boards is by taxa
tion. You rarely see billboard
in a handsome residtnce district.
They are an indication that a
neighborhood is not prosperous and
that owners of land are Indifferent
to appearances and nave to make
their property look worse in order
to make it paw. A man WHO
erects a billboard damages the
location and the community and he
should pay for the privilege.
The most fundamental method
Of fighting billboard advertising is
by persuading advertisers that it
does not pay. Years ago all ad-
vertising was mostly a shout to
gain attention. There was little
logic about it, merely the effort
to suggest to the observer that the
advertiser was making big noise.
Now logic is at the basis of all
advertising. Persuasion is the
means and the advertiser seeks to
reason and argue and give facts
and figures. The fragmentnry
glance one gives to billboard does
not permit that kinu of an appeal.
The big noise advertising of the
billboard is 10 years behind the
times.

PEARLS FIND READY MARKET
Those From the Mississippi Only
Slightly Second in Demand 60
Deep Water Products.

Arkansas is the greatest pearl pro-
ducing state In the Union, and hun.
dreds Of men engage In the pearl
hunt. 1t Is said that the fresh water
pearl OF Arkansas Of the highest class
cannot be distinguished from the fin
est deep sea jewel. Throughout the
south generally thousands OF people
follow the pearl fishing industry and
make a comfortable living at 1t. Up
to few years ago the jewel wealth
contained in the river beds of the
Mississippi valley was completely hid
den. 1t was not supposed that the
fresh water mussel was pearl bear
er, or that 1t had any value except for
fish bait
The fresh water mussel is sought
now not only for the precious stone it
may have hidden in its shell, but for
the shell itself, which is manufac-
tured into stick pins, cuff links, and
buttons Of every description. The
shell fisheries have for years extend
ed far up the Mississippi river. A re-
cent writer on the subject puts fresh
water pearls into four classifcations
true pearls, baroques, slugs, and
chicken feed.
The first, or true, pearls are of
definite shape, and regular form,
round, oval, or pear shaped. These
command the highest prices. Baroques
are pearls of irregular form. Slugs
are low grade baroques. The smaller
size, the kind used in inexpensive
though genuine and neat jewelry, go
by the professional name of chicken
feed.

MERELY A POPULAR BELIEF
Scholars Question Whether the Apple
Was the forbidden Fruit" In the
Garden Of Eden.

Why and how 1t has happened that
the apple has been spoken Of as the
fruit that was forbidden in the Gar
den OF Eden is one of the great puz-
zles of Biblical scholars. The fact is
that in Genesis 8, where the incident
of the eating Of this fruit of the Tree
of knowledge of Good and Evil' is
mentioned, no name whatever is given
to the fruit. ALL that is said is: AND
when the woman saw that the tree
was good for food, and that it was
pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be
desired to make one wise, she took of
also unto her husband with her; and
he did eat" (verse g..
In fact, scholars doubt very serious,
ly whether it was the apple at ALL
They suggest that all evidence points
to it having been the ounce, fragrance
Of which was held in the highest es-
TEEN by the Orientals. Another point
in favor of the ounce is that it is the
fruit which was sacred to Venus, the
goddess of live, and in great many
of the ancient writings the ounce Is

place Of Venus in the Roman mythol.
ogy, and it should be remembered
that the story of the creation origina-
ted with the Babylonians. All evi.
dence seems to point away from the
apple having been the forbidden
Fruit" and towards the ounce as hav-
ing been that fruit of the "Tree of
knowledge of Good and Evil"
