The SCHOOL A DEMOCRACY
J. w. cRARTREE

The public school presents many
of the features of democracy. Nc
other institution comes SO near an
absolute democracy as the common
school of America 1t may well
stand as our best type of democracy,
not IN its government but in it's
feature of equality. Without the
equality of the school it is doubtful
VIII Their even American institutions
offer any other SURE way of placing
labor on the same footing wi t b
wealth. Here the child of toll sits
by the side of the child of luxury
and the son Of the laborer is on a
par with the son of the employer,
and he may be not only the better
pupil but the leading spirit and the
stronger character of the two. Cali
co and Bingham march by the side
of worSted or silk. The barefoot
toes in line in the spelling class
with the dainty shoe. Two hands
go high up in air, one with sleeve
OF finest cloth, the other with patch
or even holes at the elbow and the
second is fully as apt as the first to
be correct in the answer.
See that long line at the black
board. That is the world in NINA
ture. 1t stands for every phase of
life, -poverty and wealth. want and
luxury, sorrow and happiness. The
school has all these classes of people
in training for several years at the
most important period of their lives,
the most formative period. 1t is
one of the happy conditions of this
real democratic life in the common
school that the patch does not prove
to be a handicap. Being placed on
equal footing with other children in
school for ten or fifteen years the
boy has no difficulty in holding his
place in society after9school days
are over. No OTHER STARTING
PLACE IN THE WORLD IS HALE so
FAVORABLE. In only a quarter of
century the family name may have
changed.its rank in society. At any
rate the patch the boy wore in the
early day does not work to his dis.
advantage in either business life or
social circles, SO we'll has his rank
been established on the merit basis
in the public schools.

The President discussed business
conditions before delegates to the

and also referred to the European

MORE MISSISSIPPI WHEAT.

Memphis, June 22-Two carloads of
wheat arrived in Memphis yesterday
from Vance, Miss, making the third
car to be received by the Yates &
Donelson Company, local millers, from
that source. The wheat in one of the
cars was inspected and tested No. .
red winter, weight 50 pounds to the
bushel. 1t is probable that with better
threshing the wheat would have
weighed one-half to one pound to the
bushel heavier. Some chaff and
wheat heats were left in the grain,
and as these take up room the weight
would have been increased by taking
the trash ont However, this was not
of a nature nor of sufficient quantity
to affect the grade of the wheat,
which, according to l.. r. Donelson,
vice president of the Yates & DOnel-
son Company, is as good as could be
bought in any state in the Union.
There are still two more cars to
! come from Vance in the present ship
ment, which will bring to total amount
Of wheat shipped from this source to
about 5000 bushels One car left
Vance yesterday and the other is
scheduled to be shipped next Wednes,
day. According to a statement of Mr.
Reeder, who grew the wheat, the yield
on his plantation averaging something
like 25 bushels per acre. This is well
above the average production for the
country.
The Yates & Donelson Company is
sending circulars to the trade, stating
that the mill will begin grinding new
wheat tomorrow and expect to keep
the flour output up to capacity. Ordi-
narily the first grinding of new wheat
Is not begun until some time between
| the first and tenth of July, the gain
of some 10 to Is days this year being
fdae to the early harvesting in Mis-.
sissippi.
| If the milling company finds ade.
quate demand for its flour its officials
expect to buy all offerings of local
wheat at market prices This will re.
quire no little demand, as the yield in
the Memphis district is larger than
expected and the local buyers expect
! to be swamped within another week
or 10 days. The Yates & DonelsOn
company has bought one car load Of
wheat from J. r. Young of OsceOla,
Ark. This wheat will be shipped i'm.
mediately. Mr.. Donelson said yester.
day that he had seen samples of Ar
; kansas wheat and that it was as good
as wheat grown anywhere in the

OUTPUT is REDUCED.

Biloxi, Miss, June 22.-The output
of the turpentine industry of the en-
tire southern section was forty per
cent under that of last year up to
May 1, according to the turpentine
men of Biloxi This fact has had
much to do with helping the market,
although it has ben rather stagnant
for nearly a year on account of the
European war The reduction in the
output is the result to an extent 10
natural conditions on account of the
thinning out of the belt, but the tur-
pentine men also did not take steps
to keep up the output to former condi-
tons
The European war stopped the ex-
port business said a well-known tur-
pentine man today, reducing the bus
mess of the industry fifty-five per
cent. But for the fact that there was
a forty per cent decrease in the out
put, it is difficult to fathom how the
industry would have survived to any
appreciate extent There are no in
dications of a return to normal in the
industry, but on the close of the Eu-
ropean war, there will be an enormous
increase in business"

SALTS IF bACKACHY

Drink lots Of water and stop eating
meat for while if your Bladder

When you wake up with backache and

Meat forms uric acid which overworks
Tho kidneys in their effort to filter it

get sluggisA and clog you must relieve
them, like !ou relieve your bowels; re-

else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, al when the weather is bad
you have I'll umatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, fl 4 of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-

about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a Tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous

MUCH ROAD MATERIAL.

Gulfport, Miss, June 22.-J.. #. Low
Their who recently attended the Grown
in Mississippi and Good Roads con
vention at Jackson, is enthusiastic
over the address delivered by E. n.
Lowe, state geologist, on the road
making materials which may be found
in this state.
Mississippi has three kinds of road
making material, said Mr.. Lowe, oc-
curing in great abundance. and two
of these are widely distributed
throughout the state The three kinds
are ebert beds, gravel and sand-clay
mixture.
The ebert occurs in thick beds out
cropping along the Tennessee river
and Bear creek, in northeast Missis-
sippi. This material if of fiinty hard
ness and where exposed, is broken
into angular fragments of size suit
able for road metal This material
is practically the same as the Nova.
cutie of Illinois, is just as good, and
should be made available At present
1t is not developed, though quality and
quantity would justify development.
Gravel deposits are widely distrib-
uted in the state, and are the very
best for roadmaking. Two main belts
of gravel occur in the state. In ex-
IRENE northeast counties gravel de-
posits extend from the Tennessee riv-
er to a point several miles south of
Iuka.
The second belt of gravel follows
the bluffs of the Mississippi as far
south as Vicksburg, just below which
the belt widens, spreading eastward
to about the center of the state. The
deposits are in places very thick and
the material practically unlimited in
quantity. The material consists Of
brownish ebert (often called flint
gravels of rather uniform size, embed
ded in redish-brown cementing sand
and ferruginous clay AS road-making
material, these deposits are unexcel-
led and of incalculable value to the
state. They have been largely de.
veloped.
The sand-clay mixture which af.
fects this section of the state is said
to exist in several southern counties
in none of which it may be found in
greater quantities than in Harrison
county and at almost the very doors
of the coast. In speaking of this
material Mr. Lowe stated that it only
required to be properly shaped and
drained to make most excellent roads.
Mr.. Lowther has box of the ma
terial which was secured from a bed
little more than mile east of Ly-
man. An examination of it will make
even the inexperienced agree with
