His masterpiece, He stands alone in
a class to himself; and, while the
Yazoo and the Mississippi delta is
peculiarly suited to his needs, yet he
can adjust himself to any kinds Of
climatic conditions and live and die
happy under the most trying circum-
stances.
He can lie down beneath the
scorching rays of a MONDAY sun and
sleep the sleep of seven sleepers Of
old without suffering any evil effects
from it whatever, or he can weather
the fercest winter gale clad in pair
of cotton overalls and a blue jump

a Fourth of July celebration, or a
pair of linen pants and an alpaca
coat to a Christmas tree and be per-
fectly comfortable.
And, strange as it may seem, any
body's clothes will fit him, and look
nice on him. King Solomon, in his
declining years, when he had become
thoroughly disguised with high soci-
ETY. and fast living, said that there
was nothing new under the sun; that
he had gone all the gaits and had
seen the whole show, from the free
exhibition to the grand concert, and
that there was nothing to it, or words
to that effect. But it will be remem-
bered that he never had any negroes
to deal with or he would have had
new problem to solve every day of
his eventful life. There is nothing
else like the negro under the sun.
He sees all things, hears all things,
and has implicit faith in everything
he sees or hears, and stands ready at
all times to step aboard of anything
that comes along-from a young
mule to a flying machine.
Wireless telegraphy is nothing new
to him; he has used it for ages. Ev-

every ear a receiver. If anything

Many OF us have worked for
number OF years trying TO create
a sentiment in favor OF Federal
aid to road building and road
maintenance. Good roade will
mean new rural routes. Rural
routes mean good mail service TO
the people in the country. It
brings the people of our country
into closer touch with each other.
The value Of this rural free
delivery service to the country
can not be estimated IN dollars
and cents. The country needs and
must have that efficiency in the
postal service which will give
our people every convenience. Our
postal service should be second to
none in the world. We should be
first among the nations Of the
earth in the service that means

A Arizona man writes that
n he has found some rock
which puzzles everybody
around there (where rocks are
commonly regarded with an in
terrogating eye that would sur
prise North Georgia farmer,
and he wants to know now he
can test the correctness Of his
suspicion that it contains radium.
There is no better way than to
call in the aid of a photographer,
unless you happen yourself to be
an amateur in photography, In
which case you have the whole
secret in your. own hands and
need no conhdant. Here is the
process that the United States
Bureau Of Mines advises:
Take a Photographic plate and
wrap It in two thicknesses Of
black paper. This, of course, Is
TO be done in dark room. On
top of the wrapped-up plate lay
a key, or a coin. or any metallic
object possessing a characteristic
outline-the key is usually en-
ployed. Then suspend directly
over the key specimen OF the
suspected rock, or ore, weighing
at least two or three ounces. Do
not let It press upon the key or
the plate.
Finally put the entire apparatus
inside light tight box. OF
course, the whole proceeding must
take place In the dark room,
with no more illumination than
that furnished by a photogra-
piers red light, and as little as
possible OF that. Leave the box
untouched for three or four days
then unwrap the plate and de-
velop it in the ordinary way. II
your rock contains any appre-
ciable amount OF radlum you will
find on the plate an outline PIC
ture, or profile, Of the key, or
whatever metallic object you may
have used. It will be more or
less sharply impressed according
TO the quantity of radium pres
ent.
II no metallic object were used,
the effect OF suspendjng the ore
above the plate, or letting it lie
upon 1t, would be to produce a
general darkening OF the plate

A Letter to the Hearst Papers
BY CHARLES G.. EDWARDS,


U. S. Representative from Georgia.
T HOPE 10 see the time when
every farm home, no matter
how humble, will be supplied
with a daily. except Sunday, mail
service. What I wish for the peo-
pie I represent should be extend
ed to the farmers OF all sections
OF this country.
There is a great demand for
the reduction of the postage rate.
I am convinced that to give the
people a 1-cent rate will not i'm
pair the efficiency of the service,
and It will result in a great saw
ing TO the people Of the country.
What the American people want
is efficient service. Particularly
is this true of the postal system.
In order TO get the most efficient
service it is going to be, in my
opinion, necessary to increase the
salaries Of the rural free deiiv-
cry carriers, as well as the sala-
ries of the postmasters, and ]
have proposed that the compen-
sation Of the carriers be fixed at
$500 a year.
The carriers. as a general rule,
are good and efficient men Of
high type. The salaries now being
received by them are not sufi-
cient to meet the demands that
confront them They are unable
TO keen up themselves, their fam
ilies. their horses and their Vehi-
cles. The city mail carriers, pro-
portionately speaking. receive
much better salaries, and people
