Card From Mr.. Clayton
To the People of Lee County:

~
Listen to me for only a few
minutes: Mr.. j. E Ruff, your
new county demonstrator, has
been with you only a few weeks
but he is doing things already.
He took a small exhibit to the
Jackson State Fair and won a
first prize for your county. He
could have done more if he had
been with you long enough to
gather the exhibit together. He
is among you to be one of you
and to serve you. You will find
him eyer ready to come at your
bidding, walk and talk with you
and help you in your farm prob
lens. He is a farmer of known
ability. Six years experience in
government demonstration work
where he gathered the cream of
the best farmers in the south.
You need him and he needs your
cooperation. Help him to get
acquainted with you and your
neiQhbors.
He is planning a great exhibit
for the State Fair at Jackson
next year. He is planning a
great trip for the farmers and
business men soon. He plans to
bring 500 or more of you fellows
to the great A. & M. College to
spend the day, or longer. 1t is
a great trip and will help you
more than you think. Don't
wait for him to hunt you up and
ask you to come. He don't know
you. Hunt him up and tell him
you want to come. He will re-
joice to have you in the party
whether you have 500 acres or
whether you rent land, Come
along; the college will welcome
you and show you things that
will surprise you to know are in
existence. Some Of the things
to be seen are a model dairy. a
model creamery, stock farm,
beef cattle, model barns. poultry
farm and many other things of
interest. together with your Ag:

A lock that can be locked from one
side without a key by the simple turn
of the door handle, and that when so
locked cannot be opened from the
other side Of the door was patented
recently by Anders Gustaf Anderson
of New York. This lock is intended
for use on the doors Of such apart
ments as bathrooms, private Offices
or doctors consulting rooms, in which
the certainty of absolute privacy is
desired without the use of a key.
The bar on which the handles are
turned turns a bar that presses
against the two arms of the bolt,
thereby drawing this back with the
tongue which fastens the door. A
tumbler falls into place when the han
die on the inside of the door is turned.
When it has fallen the door is locked
so far as the outside handle is con-
cerned, for the latter handle cannot
move the tumbler and this is in such
position that the bolt cannot move
back until the tumbler has been turned
out Of the way, which can be done
only from the inside.

A delicate point in the hanging Of

can get into it without falling out

father, who has to put two pennies
into the slot machine to get weighed,
will bump the ground in his swing.
To get the height right involves the
solution of the formula of the eaten

curve shall not become tangent to the

and however it may be distributed.
For it is embarrassing to find too late
that the hammock is not fixed to car

BIG WILDERNESS OF CANADA
Nobody Thinks Of Going Into Region
Northeast Of Lake st. John
Approach by Big Peribonka.

The region northeast of Lake st.
John is off at one side where nobody
thinks OF going except few trappers.
The mining and timber have not
seemed rich enough to draw the white
man.
The main avenue OF approach is the
Big Peribonka, the largest of the Lake
st. John rivers The real wilderness
begins in the neighborhood of Lake
Tchotogoma. 60 miles up the river.
Beyond that stretches vast region,
as fresh and wild, as natural and
primitive as anything discovered by
Columbus and with fewer human ten
ants. In the last fifty miles OF its
course the Big Peribonka comes down
from its high plateau roaring through
defiles of ragged rock and making
necessary ten or more portages, sew
eral Of them in the perpendicular
style of architecture. OF late years
a rude wagon road has been extended
through the burnt-over country be-
tween the village of Mistook, near
Lake st. John and the Shute Mcleod.
the last but one of these Peribonka
falls. The necessity of climbing up
steep river has thus been largely
eliminated. Lake Tchotogoma may
be reached from the other direction
where the means Of access have also
been improved; and one coming up
from Quebec by the Saguenay boat
should go in from that quarter and
come out by the new route down the
Peribonka
The outfit is carried from Chi
countimi, at the head of steamboat
navigation, up to the foot Of rough
water in the river, distance of seven
miles. Then comes a wagon journey
of 22 miles northerly to the Lac des
Iles.-Outing.

INDIANS IN UNITED STATES
How the Red Man Is Turning Defeat
Into MISUNDERSTANDING Attend
ance Shown at Schools.

No longer can II be said that the
only good Indian is a dead Indian.
That statement, born of ignorance Of
the real character OF the Indian. is
now definitely eliminated from the list
OF epigrams by report of the census
bureau on the present Indian popula-
ton in the United States.
While the report shows a much low
er rate of growth for the Indian popu-
lation than for the white. an increas-
ing mixture of white blood and de-
creasing vitality of full-blood Indians,
indicating a tendency to disappear al
together, 1t also shows increasing at
tendance at school and decreasing IL
literacy, an increase in the percent
age of the self-supporting and a de-
crease in the number of reservation
Indians.
While the report shows that there
were 265.6S3 Indians in the United
States, exclusive OF Alaska, in 1910,
an increase OF 17,430, or Z per cent
over the number reported in 1890,
there are about 100000 Indians in this
country at the present time. Among
them are to be found manufacturers,
bankers, United States officials, me.
chanical engineers, locomotive engi.
neers, telegraph operators, actors,
artists, clergymen, college professors,
physicians, surgeons and lawyers. The
Indian has turned defeat into triumph.
He has played the game according to
the rules laid down by civilization
and has won.

The Homeless.

There are houses full of conven-
fences and Injuries in which no one
is at home; the men and women who
live in them are homeless. To such
men and women, as to the men and
women to whom marriage is a mere
social contract and the family a mere
social arrangement, there is no going
home, no refuge for the spirit, no place
of understanding and vision. There
are no more pathetic figures in the
world of today than these homeless
men and women; restless, discomfort
ed and unhappy, and utterly blind to
the tragedy of life in which there is
no going home.-The outlook.
