The Size of Them.

In reading of the vast operations of
iol6n in the European conflict, it is hard
TX Americans to realize the tiny size
of the theatre which nature has pro-
vided for such maneuvres.
Heroic Belgium, now drenched with
her own and German BLOOD is about the
size of Maryland So far as agricul
tural resources are concerned, Mary
land is probably the richer district of
the two.
Germany, the home of 5000, 900
people, has about 80 per cent of the
area of Texas. If Texas were cir
cular lake and Germany a circular
island, the island could be anchored in
the lake out of sight of the surrounding
shores.
France is trifle smaller than Ger
many. France and England together
are almost exactly the same extent as
Texas.
England not counting Wales-is a
little smaller than Illinois. Italy is
about two-thirds the size of California.
Holland and Belgium together couc
be set down in South Carolina, and still
leave Governor Blease little room tC
rant in. Austria Hungary has about
the same extert as the national forest
reserves of the United States.
Only when one gets to Russia doe.

Americans are accustomed at home
Russia in Europe Is two-thirds the siz'

his brow. He walked by the store

REVELATION WAS TOO MUCH
Picture Of "Hollerlng Jones" at Fa.
vorite Diversion Caused Him
to Reform.

A well-known illustrator, who makes
interesting western pictures, once
made the acquaintance of a noisy but
good-natured cowboy who rejoiced In
the appellation of "Hollering Jones'"
In physical appearance this man was
typical Of his kind, and the artist made
several studies Of him, both In re-
pose and in his favorite diversion Of
'hollefing.' Some Of the studies were
sold by the artist to an eastern maya
zine. They showed Jones in his most
violent state.
A year later the artist again visited
the region. He was soon approached
by MIR. Jones himself, bearing one Of
the pictures, which he had torn from
the magazine In which its vas printed.
Pointing to 1t, he asked:
rs that me?"
well" replied the artist, evasively,
Il got the general idea from you, OF
course, but"
"0h, l amt takin' no offense," Jones
made haste to say. IT'S all right; only
II it's me, say So"
If you put it to me that way" said
the artist, Il can only reply that 1t is
a fairly good portrait of you
1.-THE men here on the ranch agree
with you. So l look like that when l
holler, do II"
Il think you do"
Gin that case" said Hollering Jones,
"all I've got to say is that Hollering
Jones has hollered his last holler.
Hereafter, when l celebrates, ! does

ion, no man has a right to look like
that-not round white folks, anyhow"

.sshooIs Improve

When one stops to consider the de-
velopment of the rural educational sys-
tenn in Mississippi in a comparatively
bTief period, or, say, five years, it
opens up q backward glance which is
exceedingly interesting by way Of COM
parison. Ten years ago the rural
school system in vogue in Mississippi
was typically crude, following the
lines Of least resistance, according to
established custom. There were hun
dreds of little one-room, ~one-teacher
community schools scattered through
out the rural districts; such schools
as the fathers and grandfathers OF the
pupils had been wont to attend, and
which were taken quite as a matter OF
course, and good enough for their on
spring. To these little, unkempt, un-
sanitary. and generally unattractive
school shacks the children of the dis
srict were wont to trudge; some OF
them for several miles through the
mud and slush and the cold and rain
common to the school season.
At that period the Mississippi school
improvement policy had not material
lied; the agricultural high school ex-
listed only in the imagination of a few
of the forward-looking educators; the
boys corn clubs and the girls tomato
clubs were not even in the embryonic
stage, and the consolidated district
school and the transportation wagon
were unheard of entities in the states
rural educational plan.
Today all these branches Of the ru-
raj educational system in Mississippi
are in front, and to use the %vernacular
phrase, are coming stronger" all the
time. While progress has been the
%watchword all along the line, and with
all these branches of development &C
tivity connected with the rural
school, the most noticeable, by reason
of it's rapid development, is the con-
solidated school. 1t was not until
1910 that there was any statute pro-
viding for rural school consolidation,
and the idea being new in Mississippi,
the practical development was slow.
Four years ago, according to Super
visor William H. Smith of elementary
rural schols, there were three of these
schools, operating about six wagons.
Before the end of the summer the
number had increased to IL or Is, and
it was then that the public began to
take notice.
Today there are ITS consolidated
schools in the state, which employees
about zoo transportation wagons and
teams and which convey between 600
and 700 pupils. Prof. Smith is of the
opinion that by this time next year the
number will practically double itself,
owing to the rapid growth of the pub
lie sentiment towards this improved
system. This consolidation plan is do
ing more towards awakening the eoun-
try life of the state and begetting
deep interest in education among pa
irons and educable children than any
other agency, except perhaps the agri-
cultural high school. 1t is an influ-
ence that is being felt in all the &C
tivities of the ruralite; is strengthen
ing the improved highway spirit, and,
in general, has a toning up effect on
the life Of the state which in another
decade will show a more satisfied and
contented people and a really, truly
and literally Greater Mississippi"

Aberdeen Wants Loan.

ApSFueeH warns EodHi'
The Aberdeen Commercial associa-
ton, In a communication addressed to
members of congress from Mississip-
pi, ask that they "cause to be enacted
some measure wherein the United
States government will lend. on prop
erly baled cotton, to the producer and
the owners of lands on which the cot
ton is produced, money in the amount
of &c per pound, and at a rate of in
terest not in excess of 5 per cent per
annum upon warehouse receipts, with
the usual insurance safeguard"
Resolutions adopted by the associa-
ton recite that the "deplorable trag-
edy now being enacted in the great
European country will greatly and un.
necessarily depress the staple crop OF
this country, cotton, which is wrest-
ling with more than its usual common
natural enemies, and the future pro
duction is none too flattering."
