DISCUSS MARKETING QUESTION

Dallas. Tex, Dec. 13.-The market
of farm products was the leading topic
discussed here today at the fifth an
nual convention of the Texas Industri-
al Congress. Clarence Ousley OF
Fort Worth, a noted agricultural ex'
pert, and Prof Charles B. Austin OF
the extension department of the Uni
versity Of Texas were the principal

fine EXAMPLE OF
The RURAL SCHOOL
LEAF RIVER HIGH IS ENJOYING
PROFITABLE sEssIoN-EN-
RoLLMENT INCREASES.

The Leaf River High school, located
about two miles east of Hattiesburg,
is taxed to. it's full capacity this sea-
son. The school has been gradually
growing since the opening Of the SEES
sion, and the people are taking great
interest in everything that is for the
uplifting and improvement of the
school and community.
At this school the consolidation plan
is In full force; not as an experiment
but as a successful and permanent
method of solving the problem for
greater rural schools. Two large COW
cred wagons. we'll equipped with COM
Portable seats, are used to transport
all children living at distance from
the school.
The attendance increased so much
this season that a fifth teacher was
employed. The enrolment is over
two hundred now, and with still 9TH
ers to come, it is probable that an
other addition to the faculty will be
necessary.
The school offers courses in ten full
grades and has a good number in each
of the high school classes.
A local Parent Teachers Association
holds regular monthly meetings, which
prove to be a great factor in maintain
ing a common interest in the school
and in solving problems for the vel
fare of the child.
A musical department has been es
tablished and placed under the leader
ship of Prof. Jno. Myrick Both voca
and instrumental music are taught. A
class of fifteen pupils has been organ
lied and is doing excellent work.
Literary societies and athletics arr
encouraged for the mental and physl
cal development of the boys and girl
of the school. Two basketball team
have been organized and much pleas
ure as we'll as physical training come

have been organized among the var
GUS classes, in which all boys an
girls take part and are taught publ
speaking, reading and essay writing.

WILSON'S MEXICAN POLICY.

It is much easier to criticise, Of
course, than to construct, and in the
heat of activities of the present we, as
q nation, are apt to forget what has
gone before. Our memory is particu-
larry poor when it comes to govern
mental policies. The criticism that is
being made in certain quarters of Pres
ident Wilson's Mexican policy is one
case In point.
What is his policy? He himself de-
fined it in his talk to the students of
Swarthmore college and as he then
expressed it his policy is that the in
huence of this nation shall be cast
against and not for a government
stained by blood and unsupported by
the consent of the governed. That is
one of the basic principles of our own
governmental theory and, as the Chris
tian Science Monitor points out:
AS during the presidency of Porfrio
Diaz and under the administration of
the depar' ment of state by Mr.. Root,
Mexico joined with the United States
in bringing joint pressure upon the
Central American states for the sup
preston of revolution and a cessation
Of violence and war. and as all the for
NAL utterances of Pan-American states

Straight Talk on Land Values.
(Big Bend Outlook.)

An Ellensburg paper is protesting
because raw land back in Iowa sells
for $1S125 per acre, when it is not
near as productive as the soil Of Kitti-
tas county. The critic does not take
into consideration that the universal
law of values does not take into con-
sideration the fertility of the soil, but
that density of population and rate of
interest fixes the price of real estate
Generally little money is made from
farming but great deal is made from
the increase in the value of the land.
When the state of Washington has as
dense a population and as low a rate
of interest as the state of Iowa then
the value of the land will reach even
higher figure.

OFFICIAL CITY PAPER.
JUDGE GARY AND III >INEsS.

The most notable statement of re-
cent date concerning present CONNER
cial conditions throughout the United
States and the outlook for the imme-
diate future was that made recently
by Judge Ebert H. Gary, president OF
the United States Steel corporation, a
recognized leader in the business
world This statement is published
in another column.
Never before was the opportunity
for commercial progress and success
SO great" says this authority, and yet
his industry-the steel business-was
the one high protectionists asserted
would be l.t the hardest by the re
duced tariff. Apparently the judge
does not think SO; apparently there
are processes and movements at work
in the business world which prompt
him to say: "Never before we're con
ditions which promote material vel
fare so favorable"
This statement comes from maj
whose business demands that he keel
in close touch with the undercurren
of commerce, an industry, too, that II
ordinarily among the first to feel an!
tendency to reaction. He voices
stronger spirit of optimism than ha
been heard for some time; he pre-
diets that the nation is entering upol
''the dawn of the greatest prosperity;
he appears confident of steady up
ward march of business. He is in |
position to know: he would not speal

His optimism, then, coming from
the man 1t does, Is highly encouraging
It should make US all more confident

ternoon and also at a public gathering
at the Pleasant Glade Grange hall last
Monday evening.
Both speeches were similar in con-
text, the speaker urging his hearers
to grow only those products for which
there is wide demand and suggesting
that it would be good idea for the
farmer To keep an account book so he
would know just where he stood. He
went into detail on these points, the
general nature of his address being
quite similar to that given by him at
the annual picnic of the Thurston
County Pomona Grange at Priest Point
park last summer.

Years past have been the subject of

Of having the government prosecuting
several large wholesale firms for ship
ing freight under the wrong classif-
cation, thereby defrauding the roads
iof many thousands of dollars in
freight. With the government acting
ilopartially in the matter of prosecu-
ton when there is wrongdoing on
either side, the roads will no doubt

THE FARMERS CROP RETURNS.

There Is also great encouragement
to be found In the statistics compiled
by q Portland bank showing that far
mers Of the three Northwest states,
washington, Oregon and Idaho. this
fall received Is per cent. more for their
crops than they did year ago. To
put 1t another way, they received $1.15
this year for every dollar they took in
in 1912.
This notable increase should be re-
Elected In very favorable way on gen.
eral business conditions in these three
states, for 1t is we'll known fact that
whatever benefits the farmers benefits
business as a whole, l. e., when the
farmer is prosperous, so is the country
In which he lives.
This increase of Is per cent is the
general average throughout these three
states In what measure the farmers
of Thurston county benefited we do not
know. The banks statement, however,
Is to the effect that no locality reported
loss as compared with last year, from
which we judge that the local ranch.
ers received their share of the general
advance.
We trust this is the case. There is
much in store for this Puget Sound
country in the next two or three years
II its people are in position to take
advantage of the coming development
Greater returns for the farmers mean
q continued improvement in all lines OF
business and that is something for
which we all sincerely hope, for it will
enable us to progress as we should.

others like their cigars after a meal.
