The Game Of Teapot.

An amusing game to be played by
any number Is called teapot" Let
one player choose word. The others
are to guess the word. In order to do
this they all ask questions which the
word chooser must answer. This
sounds simple. The difficulty, how
ever. Is that the chosen word must
have two meanings. roll" for In
stance. which may mean either the
variety We enjoy for breakfast. or to
turn over and over Or II may be
words spelled differently. but pro-
nounced alike, such as might and
''knight"
In answering the questions the play
er must use the meanings alternately,
substituting teapot for the chosen
word. Thus. suppose the word is
roll the beginner might ask. Does
1t belong to the vegetable kingdomY'
The answer would be. Teapot does be-
long 10 the vegetable kingdom"
Suppose the next player asks, How
would you get to the top of a high
mountain" The answer might be. Il
could not teapot there" The success
ful guesser has the privilege Of choos-
ing the next word.

The result of these campaigns
proves that the agricultural and com
mercisl possibilities of the South are
almost beyond conception; that the
states south Of the Mason e. Dixon line
can produce enough foodstuffs to meet
all home needs with a surplus sufi-
cient to feed large part of the world;
that the same facts obtain in the other
annually to northern markets for the
purchase of food products which can
be produced more abundantIy and more
cheaply at home; that for the same
purpose Arkansas is sending away
S75,0000OO annually; Alabama, $780,
100000; Oklahoma. $6S.O00.O0O: and
that Texas is sending over 5000, ,OOO,O ,O0c

one billion dollars of hard cash away
from the South annually. every dollar
of which should be placed in its own
