THE EXTRAVAGANT HUSBAND.

There is a common calaanltous matrimonial
situation IN which women too often lind them
selves and which to the average woman generally
spells rum. 1t is when a ' woman finds she is mar
red TO a man who is hopelessly extEavagant.
The extravaganza man seems to think that it
is penurIousness IN his wife to want to lay up
something Tor the future. This is idiotlc. every
body knows that days of sickness, of bad bust
ness, OF Old age, are bound to come to every one
Of US, and not to try to lay up something for
them is more than improvident.
What can the wife do under such circum-
stances?
Three course are open to her. The first and
best is to have a frank talk with her husband
and try to induce him to make her the family
cashier. If she goes about it in the right way
and is gently persuasive instead of hatefully
naggy, she can generally get herself installed as
the family cash register, for many an extrava-
CANT man is extravagant not because he does not
want to save, but because he can't.
Failing in this, her next best plan is always
to keep her husband buying something-real es-
tate, stocks, or something else of settled value.
Debt is such a mans natural habitat. He can't
De happy unless he is in it, and he had better be
buying something that is of value.
If neither of these plans works, the woman
who is married to a man with holes in his pock-
cts might just as well emulate the butterfly and
enjoy herself while she can, because nothing she
can do will stave off the evil day when they will
come to bankruptcy and ruin, and she will have
to support the family by taking boarders or can
wasting for the latest edition of The Lives of the
Poets.

HE DIDN'T TAKE TIE PAPER.

A farmer in this vicinity once had a morse he
wanted &c sell. 1t was a valuable horse ana aAouid
have Drought d good price, For months he tried
to sci. the animal, but could not ind 4 buyer at
his figure. He tInaliy sold it for about 4Z5 less
taan us true value, rather than carry 1t through
the winter.
Now 1t happened that just across the line IN
another county there was another farmer who
was looking for just such q horse, but was unable
to find it. Then he inserted a little ad in the
home paper, which brought him a number OF
offers, one of which ne reluctantly accepted.
The first farmer did not take the home paper,
ana OF course did not see the little ad OF the man
who wanted a horse, and who woula have pur-
chased his animal at a good price.
By not taking the paper he saved the SUBJ
~scription price OF 81, and likewise lost S24 by not
seeing the other fellows ad.
Such occurrences are happening every week
right here in this community, in which people ac-
tually lose good money because they do not take
their home paper, and hence do not know of
many Of the opportunities that are placed before
them.
The mar who takes the paper and reads it
carefully each week not only knows what is g0=
ing on, but he is in fact money ahead at the end
of the year by knowing what, when and where
to buy.
"Ienny wise and pound foolish" is exempli-
fled in many ways.

YOU LIVE IN A BIG COUNTRY.

Probably you don't think about it very often
but you owe 1t to yourself to know more. about
the land in which you live, There are thousands
OF places in these United Stats which have a
peculiar historical interest, besides those thous-
ands which attract the human being on account
OF the loneliness and the grandeur Of their ap-
pearance.
In the East, of course, the historical feature
predominates, while in the west is found the great
scenic glories with which that section is so full.
1t is your duty to know well your native land, if
possible, and to do SO, it is not always necessary
for you to travel to a great extent. Cultivate a
habit of looking at the map of your country and
realize that in there are thousands of human be-
ings like yourself, who yearn to come into con-
tact with the greatness Of the nation. Then read
what you can about the other places and try to
think of us all as one great family Of human
beings.

pROSPE2 ITY.

When man is poor, and wealth or fame seems
far beyond his hope and aim, he is 50 unobtrusive
then, he makes a hit with %fellow-men. He a
his wood and moWs his hay. end has a modest,
winning way, and all his course of conduct shows
he doesn't %fatuous, suppose that if from num-
dane scenes he'd drop, the whole blamed universe
would stop. He strives to earn his weekly
checks, and is a credit to his sex. But when his
eager, ~straining feet have landed him in Easy
street, his head sWells up, he chesty grows, and
OF his stake he brags and blows, he sneers at
men who have not grown as big a bundle as his
oWn. He launts the package he has made, and
keeps himself on dress parade, and loads his
wife with silks and clanking gold and pearls, till
people wish he'd lose his roll, and be the old-time
simple SOUL Prosperity, when it arrives, oft
ri MS good and useful lives. When Fortune ham
mers at our doors, it turns good fellows into
bores.-Walt Mason.

Each acre Of corn in the State yields
about eight bushels more than it did
IN 1907. and with three million three
hundred and fifty thousand acres
planted this increase is really worth
while. Thus the gross increase in
corn production is forty-three million
bushels. II this corr was loaded into
cars, one thousand bushels to the car,
the cars with couplers averaging fifty
feet in length, the train required to
haul this increased product would be
composed of forty-three thousand cars
and would measure just three hun
dred and ninety-seven miles In length.
So much for progressive education!
All of this marvellous reconstruction
Of a States productive did
not just happen" 1t is a result of
careful, patient and insistent work,
undertaken by good men with a peo.
pie who were ready to be shown. There
are still many who do not quite be-
lieve, are welded to old methods and
don't take what they see in the pa
pers for gospel" The Mississippi Cen
tennial Exposition offers a splendid
opportunity to bring these men into
the firing line of progressive farm
truths, when they cannot help but see
what has actually been done along al.
vanced lines. Ten thousand corr club
boys will attend the Exposition, bring.
ing in their wake ten thousand dads,
who have already see the light. Never
has there been offered such an oppor
tunity to inspire the young mind and

ARE YOU GUILTY?

From The Jackson Daily News.)
If a great army was marching through Mis-
3issippi carrying away our wealth, you'd want to
light, wouldn't you?
Well why don't you get in a fighting mood
concerning the mail order houses?
The big concerns in Chicago and New York
are not marching through Mississippi, but, by a
surreptitious invasion, they are carrying away
our wealth just as effectively as an army could
do it.
Worse still, year after year, they levy tribute
on the people of our State by capturing trade that
legitinately belongs to the home merchants.
They continually draw from US wealth that
ought to be kept at home for the development of
our own resources and industries.
Millions of good Mississippi dollars become
Yankee dollars each year because Of the thought
~lessness and thriftlessness of our home people.
The State Of Mississippi is poor. The counties
are poor. The cities are poor.
Why?
Simply because our people haven't sense
enough to keep more of their money at home,
and to produce the things that will grow in Mis-
sissippi soil just as good as elsewhere.
These are plain facts-ugly facts, It's true,
but facts nevertheless.
If you are going to live in Mississippi, then
Mississippi needs your support. Furthermore,
Mississippi is entitled to your support.
Resolve today that your motto lenceforth

MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

About the greatest pastime we know in Amer
lea today is the game Of Quitting in" How few
OF us mind our own business, leaving to others
the same profitable occupation?
A few citizens of this community are
ready at all times to dip into anything, argument,
pot of water, or what not.
That's a bad idea. Take care Of your duties
before bothering with the responsibility of d.
recting others. There'll be less mistakes if
you do.
