IMMIGRATION MOVING SOUTH
WARD.

Ex-Governor George l.. Sheldon, OF
Nebraska, says the tide of immigra-
ton on the part of hungry land seek
ers is surely turning from the West
and North and that the next ten years
will see the Southern States receive
the full attention of the land buyers.
The Governor" as he is called gen
orally left Nebraska five years ago
and purchased a 1000 acre plantation
near Wayside, Miss, where he is
growing cattle and feed and cotton,
He is here attending to the sale of a
load of hogs raised on his plantation.
"The Southern Mississippi Valley
and Southeastern States" said the
Governor, ''have not yet begun their
true development along agricultural
lines. There is not an acre of land in
Mississippi. Alabama, Louisiana, Ar
kansas, Georgia, Florida and Tennes-
see that is selling at price equal to
its intrinsic value while in the Corn
Belt large proportion of the farm
lands are selling for more than their
real worth, based on productive abili-
ty.
"The Southeastern States today, in
my opinion offer the greatest oppor-
tunity for live up-to-date farmers to
settle that you can find anywhere in
the country. We have unrivaled nat
ural grasses for pasturing cattle. Our
Bermuda espedeza and White clover

run stock on grass for practically ten
months of the year and need but very
little feed the other two There is

these Southern States at $500 to Sl5.

tie and to the production of grain

STYLE.

u takes a very brave woman to
.,or last seasons hat, but style is
rot bad thing after all. 1t is good
,h;uc If there we're no style, there
monid he more evil in the land than
there is. style does not create any
sviI in the world as long as it is de-
cont Where there is no style there is
MT much of anything but evil. Style
i merely getting something out of
n,ide that can be seen. But there are
different kinds Of style. A woman
should not prefer a stylish dress to a
becoming dress Now if balloon skirts
are the style, a narrow skirt does
not look good ana vice versa. There
is happy mean however, between
these extremes in style. And there
the smart woman can easily econo-
mise. Some women know the trick
and know how to do it. Others don't
know and never will. Common sense
is the idea. If we were looking
around for a wife, we know already
Just about what kind of a looking
woman would appeal to US.

SHAPE
Timber FIume is a More Eff
Gent Type Than Box or
Square Shaped.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-That the v
shaped timber fume Is more eff
Gent type than the box or square
sided form is one Of the conclusions
reached by the department Of agricul-
ture In abulletin Just issued on
fumes and fluming. The V-shaped
wooden fume requires less water
and, on the average, less repairs than
the other type, is better adapted to
act as slide on steep grades, and
oners fewer chances for jams. Con-
corning third type, the sectional
metal fume, semicircular in form,
the prediction is made that it will
come into wide use. Such fiume is
strong and light, and can be quickly
taken apart and transported from one
place to another to be set UP again.
When building fumes good plan,
says the department, Is to erect a
small sawmill at or near the upper
end Of the flume location to saw out
the lumber needed for construction.
Such material can be floated down the
flume as fast as the latter is built ana
used for further extension.
For handling railroad cros-ties,
cants, poles, corewood, and the like, a
fiume with the sides Of the v 80 inches
In height is large enough. For hand
ling logs, piling, long timber, or
brailed sawed lumber height of
from 40 to go inches is recommended.
The best angle for the " is put at 80
degrees.
Proposed f1ume lines ought to be
surveyed as carefully as line for a
logging railroad, to ensure evenness
ofs grade. Grades should be kept be-
low 10 per cent wherever possible,
and the best results are obtained with
grades between Q and 10 per cent.
Abrupt curvatures in flume should
be avoided, for they are likely to
cause jams. Curves should rarely be
permitted to exceed 20 degrees. 1t
may be necessary to blast at rocks
and boulders, or projecting points Of
bluffs, or to trestle, or even tunnel,
to eliminate abrupt curves or main
tain an even grade.
Telephones are recommended as
adjuncts to the operation OF a flume.
By their use serious break or jam
can be reported Immediately to the
head Of the flnme to prevent further
shipment Of material. A telephone
also makes it possible to notify. the
men at the upper end Of the fiume
Just what material to ship and when
to ship 1t.
A flume recently built on Rochat
Greek, near st. Joe, Idaho, is cited as
a good example Of modern v-shaped
fume construction. This fume, which
Is unusually large and built to handle
heavy logs and long timbers, is said
to have cost approximately $4,000 per
mile for the five miles Of It's length,
including the cost Of constructing a
wagon road and telephone equipment.
other fumes are cited costing from
$4,000 to $500 a mile.

FLINT CLASS
Plants All Suspend Operations
This Week at MorgantoWn
for Repairs.

MoRGANToWN, July 1.-Morgan-
towns flint glass plants are planning
to shut down at the end Of this week
for the customary summer repairs. At
all OF the plants work will be con-
tinued until Friday night, when the
plants will be closed. The Economy
expects to have its works down until
July 20, while the Seneca company
will likely have its two plants in the
Fourth ward and In Star City closed
for about the same period. The plant
of the Athens company will be closed
down longer, probably a month, as
extensive repairs to the tank are re-
quired. The Union Stopper will be
closed only long enough to make need
ed repairs.
Market conditions in the flint glass
world have continued fairly good in
spite of the general business depres-
sion. Morgantown companies have
Jared exceedingly we'll and orders
keep coming in fast enough SO that
none Of the plants will be closed for a
period longer than absolutely neces-
sary for the annual overhauling.
