addressed his letters to her the summer
before.

Finally, because she grew silent and
ceased to smile at him-beautiful. suf-
fused with the melowness which tinged
the sky, reflection of the enigma of
the approaching twilight on her delicate
face-he confessed the great happincss
which possessed him.
"Never, nowhere, have been as
happy, mademoiselle, as 7 am now"
Take care. We agreed''-
'But you consented to our meeting,

What day that was. We were'--
With gesture he waved away the
hideous memory which would have
peopled with dead men and with scenes
of violence the little bay, on which the
sun was sinking below the almost mo-
tionless waters The breeze brought
from afar tho sound of a cannon shot, of
another, of third.
Il was going to recount to you an
hour Of war and they call me to order"
They listened. But nothing came in
from the sea but the rolling Of the surf.
She retained an expression of anxiety,

Because of the disappointed look on

to hurry, and he'd need to be tough
skinned sort Of person at that to make any
headway against the South's born CON
ceptions.
But that isn't all. There is Secretary
Lanes fine programme, conceived just in
the nick Of time to forestall laundering in
the South. That programme is receiving
the South's hearty cooperation Already
quietly, the Souths raw lands of every
type are being surveyed and catalogued
and studied. The work isn't gaining much
publicity, but public sentiment is strongly
favorable. If there may be Federal CON
troll or reasonable measure of Federal
counsel and aid in putting the lands di-
rectly into the hands of users the pains
of booming will be cut out automatically
They won't even start
This must not be lost sight Of In the
new time the arabic lands Of the South are
not to suffer neglect That is inconceiv-
able. Conditions which have held them out
OF use for SO long past and gone.
When all is said the human race doesn't
value land according to its power to pro-
duce cotton or jute or post timber or to-
bacco, or any other strictly commercial
crop. Get right down to it, the world-old
and unchanging standard of valuation is
the power to produce foodstutfs
In the South, proof of this power has
been lacking. When the rest of the coun-
try saw the South spending its cotton
money regularly in buying foodstuffs from
distant markets, the rest of the country
concluded, not ilogically, that for some
reason the South couldn't produce the food
crops in competition with the North and
West The failure was charged, not to
the native disposition of the people where
1t belonged, but to something radically
wrong in Southern conditions or in the
character Of the lands themselves. And so
the demand for these lands did not become
acute. The Northerner, with his own sound
experience to back him, argued that no re-
glon can be ndustrialy secure WHICH isn't
self-supporting. He thought everybody must
understand that. He refused to believe
that great group of states deliberately
wouldn't feed themselves if they could. His
reasoning did not make him keen to venture
southwark. Before he could be strongly
persuaded, there must be a demonstration
of the South's ability to supply herself
with food
War time has afforded that demonstra-
tlon in full measure, pressed down and run
ming over. The farmer-f folk of the nation
know now to a certainty that the South is
able to produce every staple food crop in
rich abundance, and at costs so reduced as
to spell double the profits possible to the
prairie man. No longer is there any doubt

and all, had almost no industrial rat

chiefly cotton and lumber. And the first
effect Of the war upon those industries was
to take the bottom out of them and loosen
ali their ribs. The South got no benefit.
but suffered severely because of the 1914
and 1915 boom III foodstuffs That was
because the Southern states were not pro-
dueing anything like the food consumed by
their own people, but were regularly draw
ing their supplies from the North. Corn.
wheat, oats, potatoes, beef, pork, canned
stufs-make the list as inclusive as YOU
like, excepting only rice and sugar, and
you Will find that every commonwealth OF
the South was an importer of every item
Of food staples. With their principal raw
material revenues suddenly cut in half
they had to pay almost twice over for food
supplies. For time the experience put
them almost on their uppers
That is all past You know what has
happened to cotton and lumber prices since
1910 And you may have been following
the almost heroic effort of the South to
feed itself from its own lands. 1t is a
fine story, not to be told here in detail.
For the purpose Of this argument the facts
boil down to this:
In the matter Of ready money, realized
from the boom in her chief raw materials.
the South is fat with prosperity Cash is
piled up everywhere; credit is easy; and
the temper of the people, with their pock-
cts stuffed to bursting, is complaisant
Nothing like this has ever happened before
in these states.
This prosperity has been begotten and
bred by the 1t is not to be credited
TO Southern genius or cleverness The
Southerners did not themselves engineer
the better prices for cotton and lumber.
World conditions made the markets and
insured the profits. The men of the South
had nothing more to DO than to pro
ducc much as they were able to meet
demands eagerly waiting. 1t isn't distort-
ing the facts at all to call that "easv
money"
Now that the is finished and we have
to reckon with after effects in the indus

A Thunderclap Casualty List

u I WAS with mingled emotions Amer
leans learned that their total casual
-4s- ties in the world war were nearly a
quarter of million-236,117, ac-
cording to General Pershing's report
and that 52,169 Americans had given
their lives abroad. There was relief on
knowing the toll and surprise at its
extent.
Only two weeks before there had been
a reassuring statement from Washing
ton that
Careful estimates based on knowledge of
the battle conditions in the days imme-
diately preceding cessation of hostilities
lead officials to believe that all unpublished
and unreported casualties will not exceed
thirty thousand"
Although the public generally knew
that the casualty lists we're far behind
the fighting, it was not quite prepared
for so large list of unreported casual
ties. "The New York Globe" states the
situation frankly:

claring:
The end of the world war will find all

the United States, wofully short of man

our soldiers to settle permanently in those
countries. Canada is already conducting
gigantic and persistent promotion cam

'ry' seeking to induce our young men to
settle there and in a measure renlace

citizens through such cause, we must Of

VINO Will not wish to return to indoor oc-
cupatlons the North and East have moth
ing to offer except worn-out, exhausted
farms, or farm lands so high in price as
to be utterly beyond the reach of the
average man. And there is now no possi-
bliity of these men reaching Northern
farm lands in time to put in crop for
next season. But the South has
millions of acres of virgin farm lands, so
low in price as to be within reach Of evcry
one, and in a climate where the ground
can be cultivated and crops grown at any
season of the year. The nation
has right to, and an emphatic need for,
the undeveloped resources of the South.

Americans If we should withhold KNOWLEDGE
of these resources from those who could

This will be particularly true of the
rich but unused arabic lands in the South

the worlds needs, will be the first large
concern of peace. The world has been on

If the South will submit to it she may
enter at once upon a land boom. In the
past her idle land has been at once her
greatest asset and her greatest liability
She has not learned fully to appreciate its
value. Speaking in the larger terms of
comparison with other peoples, the South
erners have not been farmers. Conditions
throughout the South prove that. Leaving
cotton growing out of the account most
of the examples of truly successful farm
ing in the Southern States have been de-
velopcd by outsiders. The prosperous small

And so it happens, naturally enough, that
the South has looked upon her raw lands
as something to unload upon the outsider

any rational way by an understanding Of
the lands earning power. Selling prices
are matter for shrewd bargaining There
has been too much surplus to permit the
