Why a Southern Magazine.

People living out of the South
sometimes ask the question, why q
Southern magazine?"
10 answer this is to give little in
sight into the life and traditions OF
the Southern people. To any man or
woman of the South the name "South"
means something. 1t carries with 1t
memories of sacrifices of fathers and
forefathers, of the story OF common
priyations and sutferings, and of glory
and of achievement. Hence, the South
ern people would be untrue to their
heritage did they not want magazine
of their own in which. their aspirations
and sentiments and the very atmos-
phere of their life could be incorporat-
ed and reflected. It's quite a natural
sentiment to want something that is
yours. The Southern people have long
wanted magazine of their own.
1t is interesting to know that while
the South is a very rich section OF
country, and it's people educated, and
of the best culture and literary tastes,
the circulation of the national maga-
zines does not run in the South over
ten per cent of the total circulation.
So it is at once seen the wonderful
field a good Southern magazine may
make, in effect, all its own.
The Southern people we'll realize
that the South must develop itself, and
not, depend on any other section Of
the country, hence, Southern publica-
tions fall kinds, newspapers, trade
papers, farm papers and religious pa
pers, why not. therefore, Southern
magazine? Such a magazine can no.
fail to be factor in developing artis-
tic and literary talent in the South
Just as surely as it is an expression of
the ideals and thought of the people
it represents.
The magazine does not propose to
take the place of older national maga-
zines, but to occupy its definite and
distinct position as the one current
Southern publication giving true pic
ture of the life of the South. It has,
therefore, a mission and purpose. The
Southern people know why there
should be Southern magazine, and
hence their loyal, whole-hearted, en-.
thusiastic sunport of it.-Robert L.
Buch, IN Southern Woman's Magazine.

Land of Painted Houses.
One by one

Along with all the other signs of
progress in our beautiful Southland,
let us keep up the campaign to make
the South land of painted houses. y
Write the paint manufacturers Or see
your local dealers and get painting in
struticons and paint quotations. Then
see your neighbors and join with them
in purchasing the paint and doing the
painting, having some experienced man
to supervise the work. Why not have
neighbors working together in paint
ing one another's houses as they would
join to help one another at corn
shuckings or threshings, and so gei
the painting job done for the whole
community? But if you can't do that,
get your own mouse painted anyhow,
and be sure your neighbor will follow
in due season. = The Progressive

ALL ABOARD FOR EUROPE
Various comments On Henry ForGS
Peace Purity.

(Compiled by the Baltimore NeWs)
Here is what some the leading men
men of the United States think about
Henry Ford's personally conducted
peace party:
President Wilson?
Former President Taft just laughed.
Former President Roosevelt-Not
mischievous only because it is so ridic-
ulous.
Alton 2. Parker-Ford is clown.
z. c. Benedict-It is sheer foolish
ness.
Col. George Harvey-It is silly,
James R. Day-The plan is gro
tesque, and will accomplish nothing
but ridicule of our country.
William Jennings Bryant is Tor-
thy of praise and will accomplish much
good
John Wanamaker-Mr Ford has
three things-a mission, a generous
heart and fat pocketbook, but he has
no plan to stop the war.
Cardinal Gibbons think there are
too many formidable difficulties in the
way to hope for its successful cul-
minatiou
Governor Fielder Of New jersey
Meddlesome.
Judge Beii lindsay heartily ap-
prove Mr.. Fords efforts to stop the
slaughter,
John Hays Hammond, Jr.-Two

of Harvaed-Ford's pace cruise is alb

When Mr.. Ford was asked repeated
ly what he hoped to do abroad that he
could not do in this neutral country
he simply waved his hand toward Mr.
Lochner' and Theodore Delavigne, the
other secretary, who explained separ-
ately together the journey itself would
be IMPRESSIVE, as nothing else could
be-that the self-sacrifce Of body of
"well-known'' Americans in cancel
ing their lecture engagements and leav-
inc their work" could not fail to stir
Europe with the conviction that many
Americans wanted peace badly.
The only report OF ali actual failure
to get a passport that reached Ford
headquarters was concerning Inez Mil
holland Boissevain. She was married
to Hollander, and consequently is no
longer an American citizen.
Capt. John Wilhelm Hempel, COM
mander of the Oscar II, which Henry
Ford has rented for his peace party
