Yesterday both the morning and
afternoon sessions, which were held
in Murphy's Hotel, the commissioners
present devoted the time to the ex-
change Of views on the agricultural
situation in the South. The officials
made addresses telling Of the peculiar
conditions obtaining in their respec-
tive States, and the discussion which
followed each of these addresses
proved OF benefit to all Of those pres

ern state distribution 10 a pressingly
vital problem.
Now that government lands in the
West have nearly all been taken up.
with the increase In population or the
country there is a demand for new
areas to he put under cultivation

and lands of great natural feruiy'
Down the Atlantic Coast there are

10 the public health with deadly
malaria, capable OF reclamation by
drainage at around 81 per acre. Once
reclaimed they are worth 900 to 1900
per acre, and thousands of deaths from
malaria would cease. Even Tor army
purposes the vast areas are barriers
and useless. The problem is largely
Interstate. From every standpoint OF
national wealth and health these lands
should be reclaimed and the national
government and the SKATE govern

pate under "a national reclamation law

work without delay
To Develop Commerce.
Another OF the South's problems
is how to develop the commerce OF
her splendid ports. Why raise export
products only to lose legitimate profits
by costly rail hauls to Eastern ports
to start them into the channels OF the
world trade. Ships flying the Ameri-
can flag and sailing to South America
and the Orient the South needs and
wants The South has manufactures
has products of the forests and OF the
mines. and the South wants to ship
these articles or world commerce di-
sumner. The South would like TO use
the many million dollar Panama
Canal--the good road we've built at
great cost for our competitors TO use
without building n few vehicles Of our
own to pass oyer II.
These problems we have so briefly
referred to are all pressing for solu-
ton. Some may find their solution by
the business men Of the South; others
may call for the cooperative aid of
Federal and state governments and
legislation by both: but all OF them
are OF such concern TO the people OF
the several States and the nation that
there must be q complete elimination
OF politics and bigotry and of selfish
egotism. There must be complete and
thorough cooperation Of all forces,
and clean, cleay-cut criticism Of meth
DDS not calculated to bring results
must be welcomed, and not treated in
such a way as to destroy cooperative
spirit and chill enthusiasm.
In the consideration OF all these
problems. II We are to solve them, II
we are to participate fully and eff
fectively and beneficially In the inter-
national reconstruction that 10 ahead.
we must remember that we need the

GIRLS-D0 YOU KNOW
WHY YOUR HAIR
is UGLY?

Many women do not realize the nee
essity of keeping the hair and scalp
absolutely clean in order to look their
best. And yet, with only few min
utes of tonic massage, the hair may
be brought to beautiful, thick lus.
trous luxuriance, and that at very lit
tie cost.
Just try these few simple directions
today: Into the palm of the hand
pour little Partisan Sage, rigidly
guaranteed, inexpensive and most
beneficial preparation to be had at
any drug store; thoroughly wet the
hair near the scalp with 1t and then
rub vigorously until a soft tingling
sensation, comes stealing over the
head. Do this regularly for a few
days and you will surely be surprised
and delighted with the results.
The genuine Partisan Sage is OBJ.
tainable from VIM. l.. Goleay, who al
ways sells it with an absolute guar.
antee OF perfect satisfaction to the
user or the money paid will be re-
