tine idea of revolutlonizing the agri-
culture Of the county, but rather
with the purpose of helping to
build it up. | am not much in sym
pathy with the idea of doing the
most good by appealing to the

results is my aim and motto"
When E. w. Rusks we are to call

the meeting Wednesday afternoon,
he received quite an ovation. He
made a straightforward talk to
those present along the line OF
cooperation and said the build
ing up of the soil would be one Of
the first things, In all likelihood
he would have to tackle. He also
said hog cholera would be another
of the first matters to be consider
ed.

most important acts of the state land
board since his tenure of office was
taken at the board meeting when it
practically abolished the practice of

SMELL INSTEAD OF KISSING
Peculiar Way In Which Many Of the
Mongols Pet Their Little
Children.

Many of the Mongols pet their chill.
dren by smelling their heads instead
OF kissing them. In the Philippine
islands the sense OF smell is so devel.
oped that many OF the people by mere
ly smiling handkerchief can detect
its owner. Lovers when separated
often give each other handkerchiefs,
and In their absence they keep each
other In mind by inhaling the scent.
Certain races still salute each other by
smelling. They apply the nose and
mouth to persons cheek. and in this
way draw long breath. They do not
say Give me kiss" but LET me
smell you"

ance of the authority and power
