DEVELOPMENT OF CUT-OVER
LANDS.

Plans are rapidly maturing for the pro-
ject of the Southern Cut-Over Land Asso-
citation in developing a vast area now lying
idle in half a dozen Southern states. The
S25 600 loan made by the Southern Pine
Association will amply provide for ali
needed preliminary work OF making an en-
tensive acreage productive.
The land is we'll adapted to livestock
production and much of it is capable OF in
tensive agricultural development. Properly
utilized, the land will add millions to the
wealth Of the nation and materially i'll
crease the food supply, while yielding big
returns to the men who, undertake. the
development.
The livestock industry has made COM
paratively slow progress in the South,
largely because Southerners are not essen
TALLY stockraising people and because
their inclinations have beep in other direc-
tons. They are, however, now realizing
that they have advantages possessed by no
ether section for the production of food
animals and they are studying the psychol-
ogv of this important industry. Scientific
SURVEYS are being made and the counsel of
practical stockmcn invited and needed.
With the impetus given the movement
by the Southern Pine Association and the
cooperation of the owners of cut-over
lands, it seems certain that the South will
soon occupy the position to which it is en-
titled as the greatest food producing sec
ton in the country.

DEVELOPING A SOUTHERN
INDUSTRY.

Originally used only as street paving
creosoted wood blocks are now in great
demand as flooring for factories ware
houses, hospitals and hotel kitchens, and
according to reports made by the federal
forest service, they are giving full satisfac-
ton. They are we'll liked because they are
easy on the feet and are noiseless. Cost,
also, is an item in their favor as they are
less expensive than other equally service
able flooring materials. Shrinking and
swelling Objectionable features which re-
tarded their general use in the past, have
been eliminated by new methods of hand
ling worked out by scientists in the employ
of producers and of the government
The production of wood blocks is becom-
ing an important Southern industry and
their extensive use in new ways will add
materially to value of the South's manu-
facturers.

and finally got down her basket, and
sat down to sew.
But the sewing occupied only her
hands. Her mind was full of Warren
and of an indefinable dread of the
future. At nine she began watching
the clock. She knew it was foolish
to expect him so early, and yet she
found herself listening for every
sound.
At ten she laid aside her sewing
and took up magazine. If she could
only interest herself in story, the
time would not seem SO long. But
she, could not hold her attention to
the words about her. She read
whole page without knowing what it
was about. She almost wished the
baby would awaken-anything to
occupy her time and attention.
At eleven she resolved to go to bed.
She knew that it would only irritate
him to find her waiting up for him so
late But she could not sleep. She
tossed and turned for almost an
hour tlen she could stand it no long
err. Slipping into heavy bathrobe,
she went into the front room and sat
down by the window.
1t was raining heavily. The streets
were deserted, save for now and then
a dark 'umbrclla-hidden figure hur-
rying by. Each time her heart leaped
with the hope that it might be War
ren But always the figure passed
on.
The Fear of Drink.
The sitting room clock struck one.
She went back and threw herself
down on the bed i'm sick despair. She

haunted her all evening was true
he was drinking! Nothing else would
have kept him so late.
1t was almost two when she heard
the hall door open. She did not move.
She thought it would be easier to
pretend she was asleep. She hadn't
the heart to talk to him now. And
besides it would not help, anything
she could say would only irritate and
excite him.
She heard him moving aroand the
sitting room-then in his own room.
The door between was ajar-would
he open it to see if she was asleep?
She lay quite still, her face turned
away, but he did not come to the
door.
He was undressing now. She wait
ed for the sound of running water in
the bathroom. However late he came
home, he always took his bath. But
tonight he didn't. There was a creak-
ing of springs as he threw himself
heavily into bed.
For long time she lay staring
into the darkness before her. Per-
haps, after all, she was wrong. Some
thing might have detained him. He
may not have broken his promise, he
might not have been drinking at ALL
The Broken Promise.
She sprung up, her heart beating
fast. She must know! It was not fair
to her to harbor even a doubt-when
it might be groundless! She stole
quietly to the ha1f-open door, From
his heavy breething she knew he was
asleep.

The rain had ceased and a bright
moonlight shone through the win
dow. He was LYNX like child, his
arms thrown over the pillow. His
face was tunred towards her; it was
not flushed, there was nothing about
him to suggest that he had been
drinking. Instead he looked very
strong and verile there, his well-built
form outlined by the covers, and yet
with face almost boyishly sweet
in its repose.
With a sudden rush Of tenderness
she drew nearer the bed. And she
had ben wrong! She felt sure of it
now. An unreasonable joy and re-
lief swept through her. She stopped
over to kiss faim-riot to awaken him

MARRIED LIFE.
The Spoken Promise

The novelty of the baby was wear
mo away. Warren no longer hurried
home every Afternoon as he had IN the
first few weeks. He was again DRIFT

the club on his way from the Office
and of spending an occasional even

And to Helen was coming another
phase of the realization that nothing
can last, that no condition OF things

manent, that in married lie there Is
no stage that can be reached where
one can say "Now, this will last; this

Helen had thought the child would
be bend to which they could anchor
their permanent harmony and nap

to find that it was not so. Many OF
the difficulties, the discords, the
neglect that had confronted her be-
fore the coming of the baby were

1t was one dismal, rainy afternoon

to spend most of his evenings away
from home? And would he soon be

with wine?
That had not happened yet. He had
given her promise at the birth of

GERMANY'S PERFIDY TO ITALY.


perfect picture of what kind of foe he is.
The trckery of Germany is pretty well
known to 1.-THE American people by now.
But there are still some who wonder why
Italy withdrew from the triple alliance and
fought the Teutons, instead of lining up
with them.
The fact is, Italian statesmen knew long
ago the two kaisers were constantly abus-
ing the terms of the alliance and making
Italy pay the freight. Recently there has
come to light glaring instance i.
Italy declared war Austria in May,
1915. She did >>ot declare war on Germany
until August, 1916. Germany ostensibly
took warlike part against Italy. But
early in June, 1915, Italian mine-sweepers
near an Italian naval base in the Adriatic
found barrier of II mines. They cleared
these away. A few days later they found
similar barrier in the same place. These
could only have been placed by a subma
| rine, so the Italians decided to set a watch
/! for it.
| Finally in March, 1916, an Italian mine
sank the hostile submarine in comparative
| ly shoal waters and the Italians decided to
fish her ND and have look at her.
They found she was the Z. c. -, built
i at the Weser yards by the German firm Of
| Ditta- Siemens- Schuckert. It's log revealed
some interesting facts.
Said the commander: "After trial trip on
the Weser, was lowed through Kie Canal
| May, 1915. At Kie1 landed mines to be used
in Italian waters. After trials, sent in three
pieces by rail to Pola, arriving June "a
1915. Put together, [ exchanged German
for Austrian flag"
The log also records that the ship was
employed in laying mines in Italian waters,
carried rifles to an African port for the
rebels against Italy, and cruised near Du-
razzo seeking Italian ships. The crew were
