BURMA PRESENTS A PARADOX
Most Mournfui of Religions Firmly
Established Among Most Cheer
full Of All Races.

In no country of the world is Budd-
hlsm 81 firmly established as In Bur
ma, according 10 the Churchman. II
Is n curious coincidence that one of
the most cheerful and light hearted
races has adopted what is perhaps the
most mournful religion that exists in
the world. If one wants To realize the
impossible gulf between the pesslmism
of buddhism and the optimism of the
burmese, between the despair of life
which stamps the one and the deter
mination TO enjoy itself which is so
marked characterization of the 9TH
CIR, one must see these Burmese cele-
brating n religious festival. T.. Il. Trot-
man. who has been working under the
bishop of Rangoon. describes the fam
GUS pagoda feast at Shwe Dngon:
"The pagoda stands on hill, gleam-
ing for miles across the levels. Four
long covered slarways lead up TO
broad level platform 800 by SOC feet,
surrounded by Shriues .nd pagodas OF
every size and description, and in ev-
cry stage of barbaric splendor. In the
ihiuSl springs llt STtut ptppuu, OF
feet high, covered with gold plates be-
low, gilded Ia the summit, where il is
crowned with royal hti or umbrella,
studded with precious stones and jew
els. The whole court is full of seeth-
Ing. joyous crowd, which is continually
being REINFORCED as new parties
swarm up the stairs, blowing great
conches or shells 10 proclaim that
they are bringing their offerings 10
the monks. They will go to one or 9TH
er of the shrines and intone their
Buddhist deyotions, proclaiming that
Ill j. sorrow, ana then give themselves
up To unmitigated enjoyment, and
watch the dancers or the mines. My
riads Of candles, burning in honor of
Hin who found the light illuminate
the shrines and the pagoda base, dim
ming even the glorious moonlight into
which above the pagoda is seen to
tower

Origin Of superstitions.

Mans curiosity is in excess of his
power 10 interpret and understand.
Consequently. he guesscs and when he
guesses wildly and-as IT seems 10 9th
erS. probably of later date--inaccu-
rately his guess is called supersti-
ton writes J. Arthur lIill in Cham
bers Journal.
Owing To The innate conservatism
of human nature. superstition may
lingcr long after It's origin Is com
pletely forgotten and after people have
clearly seen that there is no rational
evidence for the thing believed. This
applies TO customs Of all sorts.

Birds That Carry Their Young.

The woodcock. II Is said, has been
known TO carry away her young when
threatened with danger She places
them on her spread feet. pressing them
between the toes and the breast. A
naturalist says many woodcocks also
carry their young down to marshy
feeding grounds in the evening. re-
turning before dawn In fact. they
have no means of feeding their young
except by carrying them TO their food.
for they cannot convey their food to

PRACTICAL TRAILERCAR
BEING SHOWN IN AMERICUS

H. H. Cohen, of the Southern Trailer
car Company, of Savannah. appointing
agents for the Northway Trailercar, is
in the city, coming here from Column
bus and Macon, where he placed agents
for this really wonderful necessity.
This Trailercar has four wheels,
either pneumatic or solid rubber tires,
and easily attached to any style Of
automobile or truck; it has carrying
capacity of 1000 pounds, and costs lit
tie or nothing to run in increased gas
consumption. It's one way to make
motor car pay a profit, and there is
ne reason why any city merchant
can't use it to advantage in moving
incoming freight or city outgoing de-
liveries, and is especially adapted to
the use of the farmer in hauling to
the city, and in taking all kinds of
freight to the farm.
The price is very reasonable, and
any interested can see this trailer at
Eylanders Garage, where Mr.. Cohen
will be until noon tomorrow.

FORTY MILLION ACRES OF
RECLAIMED LAND is NOW
READY FOR SETTLERS

WASHINGTON, D. c., April s.
Forty million acres of barren land in
the west are waiting to be converted
into prosperous farms, according to
the reclamation service of the depart
ment of the interior today. Soon mod
ern irrigation canals will not those
wastes, supplied by the reclamation
service from the fund obtained by sale
Of public lands in semi-arid sections.
Since the service was established L.
100000 acres of land have been re-
claimed and 100000 of those acres
are producing crops that will help to
bring down the high cost of living.
Homes have been established on these
lands by 10000 families, and even
thriving cities and railroad centers
have sprung up where barren wastes
existed
In some cases the reclamation even
controls it's own reservoirs and coal
mines for the people who have moved
to the opened territory. This instance
is illustrated at Williston, N. D., where
such a mine has been maintained for
FIVE years without the loss of a life.
Telephone lines, lighting and heating
plants and other public service means
are likewise maintained by the govern
ment fer the benefit of the settlers.
