Just few years ago workmen
were striking for an eight-hour
day. and most people sympathlzed
with them. Now some of them are
striking for a six hour day and a
five-day week, and we have yet to
find man who is in favor of the
change. The industries of the
world cannot be carried on under
such a schedule. We believe that
he workman should receive good
wage. but he should do something
in exchange for his pay envelope.

LAND VALUES.

The Register has been preaching
the sermon of land values for a
long while. We have repeatedly
asserted that the lands of Coahoma
county and the Delta are worth
more than the $500 and 5000 lands
of Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and other
central western states.
This is becoming more and more
evident. The strongest object les
son tending to bear out this predic-
ton, which is based on actual facts
is the sale Of Coahoma county
plantation this week for $455.70 an
acre, a news story of which was
carried In Wednesdays Register.
According to the man who sold the
plantation, he valued his land at
$400 an acre and his crops at $55
an acre.
The man who is turning his land
INTO cash today is not the fore,
sighted man by any means, unless
ne can put it back into the soil at
considerably less per acre than he
got.
About one man out of each ten
thousand who dabbles in oil gets
rich. What a comparison to the
planters OF Coahoma county. Ev-
cry planter IN the county is max
ing money rapidly and will con-
tlnue to do so. Where oil has
made one man in the country
wealthy, the soil has made hun
dreds.-Clarksdale Register.
There is no doubt in our mind
that an investment in lands.in the
azoo Delta of Mississippi is one
OF the safest and most profitable
investments that can be found in
'he world. Cotton is one of the
Surest crops raised, and it is GER.

there, undeniably such a figure, with
JAMIE and Mary Sharon threatening to

most CALLED him.
Nothing of the slightest impor

Just leaving. Good-afternoon And
with long strides he reached the door
and fastened through the hall; but
before he closed the door he heard
from jamie and Mary Sharon the out
burst OF wild, irrepressible emotion
which his performance had inspired.
He drove home in a tumultuous
mood, i almost ran down two ladies'
who were engaged in absorbing con-
versation at crossing. They were

jerk of the reins at the last instant
saved them by few inches; but their

and did not notice the runabout, nor
how close 1t came to them.
He drove into the Majors stable too
fast, the sagacious Pendennis saving
himself from going through partition
by swerve which splintered a shaft
of the runabout and almost threw the
driver to the floor. George swore, and
then swore again at the fat old darkey,
Tom, for giggling at his swearing.
He strobe from the stable, crossed
the Majors back yard, then passed
behind the new houses, on his way
home. These structures were now ap-
preaching completion, but still in a
state of rawness hideous to George
though, for that matter. they were
never to be anything except hideous
| to him.
In this temper he emerged from be-
hind the house nearest his own and,
| glancing toward the street, saw his
mother standing with Eugene Morgan
upon the cement path that led to the
front gate. She was bareheaded and
Eugene held his hat and stick in his
hand; evidently he had been calling
upon her, and she had come from the
house with him. continuing their con.
versation and delaying their parting.
George stared at them. A hot dis

strange, unpleasant taste in his mouth.
came over him as he looked at his
mother; her manner was eloquent OF
so much thought about her companion
and of such reliance upon him.
The two began to walk on toward
the gate, where they stopped, turning
to face each other, and Isabers glance,
passing Eugene, fell upon George. In
stantly she smiled and waved her
hand to him, while Eugene turned and
nodded; but George, standing as in
some rigid trance, and staring straight
at them, gave these signals of greeting

steering wheel; but Lucy only nodded
gravely and smiled no more than
George did. Nor did she accompany
Eugene to the Majors for dinner the
following Sunday evening, though
both were hidden to attend that feast,
which was already reduced in num-
bers and gayety by the absence Of
George ANDERSON. Eugene explained
to his host that Lucy had gone away
to visit school friend.
The information, delivered in the
library, just before old Sans appear
ance to announce dinner, set Miss
Minafer in quite a fiutter. "Why,
George!" she said, turning to her
nephew, "HOw does it happen you
didn't tell us?" And with both hands
opening, as if to express her innocence
of some conspiracy, she exclaimed TO
the others: Hes never said one word

George made no reply, but he was
red enough to justify the Majors de-
veloping a chuckle into laughter /;
though Miss Fanny, observing her
nephew keenly, got an impression that
his fiery blush was in truth more fiery
than tender.
After the arrival of coffee the Ma
jor was rallying Eugene upon some
rival automobile shops lately built in
suburb, and already promising to
flourish.

all his little dinners were pleasant,
and that this one was no exception.
George did not move, and Fanny,
following the other two, came round
the table and paused close beside his
chair; but George remained posed In
great imperturbability, cigar between
teeth, eyes upon ceiling, and paid no
attention to her. Fanny waited until
the sound OF Isabel's and the Majors
voices became inaudible in the hall.
Then she said quickly, and in a low
voice so eager that 1t was unsteady:
"GeOrge, you've struck just the
treatment to adopt; you're doing the
right thing"
She hurried out, scurrying after the
others with a faint rustling of her
