MILLIONS KEPT OUT
OF STATE BY LAW
STATE FoRBIDs CORPORATIONS
ENGAGING IN FARMING WHICH
HATTlESBURC THINKS VERY
-
HURTFUL.

The millions of dollars Of foreign
money that is yearning to come into
Mississippi and help develop her re-
sources is being denied entrance be-
cause of laws forbidding corporations
from engaging in farming on lands
that it might own, is contended by
business man, who cite recent con-
crete case where reliable persons in
Nebraska desired to buy a large acre
age in South Mississippi, near Hat
tiesburg, and engage in stock raising,
and were frightened away because OF
laws passed in 1912.
Moore and Haggerty, of this city
are in receipt of a letter from Attor-
ney General Ross A Collins. in reply
to one they sent him setting forth a
concrete case. The reply interprets
the law in such a way as would de- y
South Mississippi large sums Of money
for development purposes, and in view
of this fact it is said that campaign
will be conducted to have candidates
for the next legislature declare them
selves regarding their attitude on a
measure to annul the law that is said
to be so seriously interfering with this
states progress.

in question had interested with them
several farmers from Nebraska and

AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP BIGGER
AND BETTER THAN PARTIES

Colonel "Bill" Ellis, in "a few we'll
chosen remarks" outlines the future
policy of the Reese River Reveille as
follows:
at is well, about the time a w
paper changes hands, for the new
management to outline its policy, that
its patrons may know just which side
to look for in its columns. Hereto
fore the Reveille has sailed under the
Republican banner and has been more
or less an organ of hat party. Hence
forth it will not be the organ of any
political party. Recently, in one of
his "reminiscences, Henry Waterson
summed up the whole subject of poll
tics when he said: There is nothing
left of the two old political parties
but the labels
Party politics is hereafter to cut
no figure in the editorial comments
of this newspaper. When any matter
is under discussion and the Reveille
editor sees fit to take a crack at it.
the question will be handled on its
merits and entirely without regard to
any political organization. This paper
intends to serve, within its modest
bailiwick, the people of the United
States and the State of Nevada in
general, and of Austin and Lander
county in particular.
I'm matters political 1t will endea-
vor to pay no attention to labels. but
will try its best to get at the con-
tents of the package and make analy-
sis direct. American citizenship of
the right kind is greater. bigger, and
better, than all the political parties
combined. and we propose to discuss
public matters from the viewpoint of
an American citizen"

TURN RIGHT

The road to success is no rougher,
or harder, or more painful than the
road to failure, but there is a differ
ence; we voluntarily choose to bear the
pains of success, while the pains OF
failure are thrust upon us. The pains
Of success are mental and physical as
are those Of failure.
The boy or girl who aspires to sue
coed in school pays a daily penalty In
the act Of resisting the impulses to IN.
Joy pleasures of the moment; In fore
ing the brain to exercise when 1t Is
crying to quit: In doing daily mental
tasks which are Just as firing as any
physical labor. The man who succeeds
pays his penalty, too. He must save
when he would like to spend. He must
work when he would like to loaf. He
must be up and doing when he would
like to sleep. He must take kicks and
not kick back. He must assume respon-
sibilities when he dislikes to add to his
burdens. He must be patient when his
nature is to be impatient. He must
bring his appetite to reason when II
calls to be unreasonable. All of us know
men who want to succeed, but we know
that they cannot because they will pay
the penalties Of failure; they cannot
avoid them although they think they
can They will pay and pay hard. The
penalties of success are suffered for the
most part in early years. The penal
ties of failure are reaped In later years
when the rewards of success are being
plucked.-The Fortuna Magazine.

UkRAlNlAN
YEAR BOOKS
Publications Have Wider Circulation
Than Newspapers

The yearbooks published by the
Ukrainians in the United States and
Canada are highly important fea-
lures of their household libraries, ac-
cording to the committee OH public
information. The Ukrainians do not
publish any illustrated magazines in
this country but issue a number of
paper-covered ANNALS dealing with an
enormous number of subjects and
filled with pictures.
Thus one of the most recent Ukrain-
ian almanacs, which is just off the
press, contains articles on airplanes,
agriculture, politics, international re-
lations, music, wireless telegraphy and
travel. And this is only the beginning.
There is one article about Woodrow
Wilson, accompanied by picture of
the president and quotations from
some of his memorable speeches.
These yearbooks, of which there are
about ten, have a wider circulation
than the Ukrainian newspapers and
one or more of them is pretty sure to
be found even in the humblest Ukrain-
ian household.

Curtiss Is Credited With
Originating HydropIane

ing over Lake keuka in 1908. These
were placed under each wing. so that
in case Of accident the machine would
not sink. Langein and others had
made their experimental flights over
bodies of water for the same reasons.
Probably the first to make the floats

Each Must Learn Ills Own
Best Way of Living, Then
Get the Most Out of Life

| There is only one best conduct OF
life for you, and that is the one that
| is best for you. Those who wander
aimlessly in quest of the single right
formula for existence grope in maze
through which they must tread their
way endlessly in search of the center
which does not exist, observes a writer
in Golfers Weekly.
There is no one recipe which will
serve for all mankind. Each must
learn not his neighbours but his own
best way of living. To one it may be
the routine task, the daily round, to
curb the wandering will and bring
content. To another it may be the
fortitude to escape the sheltering care
OF habit or the laSSitude of sloth. To
one it should be the abandonment of
philosophy and introspection to rub
elbows with his fellow-men; to an
other, the willingness to let the soul
awaken and breathe amid the sky
trimmed prairie and under the death
less stars; to one, hearthStone and
slippers; to another the seven seas,
the aurora borealiS and the southern
cross; to one, society; to another.
solitude; to one. the quiet which. stills
the passions; to another, the eter-
nal restlessness which brings achieve
ment.
The best rounded life contains some
thing of each and all. There are but
two attitudes to avoid-the level line
of least resistance and the rigidity or
which denies every i'm
pulse simply because it is impulse.
Somewhere between the two lies your
course. Many are the thickets to be
hewed down, many the crags to ne
scaled. But beyond stands the inn in
the clearing, where faithful travellers
may find the refreshnnnt, the rest and
the kindly words of welcome which
form the goal and the reward Of life
well lived.

Farmer Turns Sandy Tract
of Land Into FIourishinu
Forest Within Few Years

England and Scotland are preparing
to replant forests which have been cut
to provide war supplies. They are DO
ing it now. Never before have those
countries been so bare of timber.
Hunting ranges and sporting grounds
have been sacrificed to supply NUM-
ton factories at home and armies
abroad. The old forests were pri-
marily ornamental and incidentally
useful, but those which are now being
deliberately provided for will be
primarily useful and incidentally Or
namental, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine.
In the United States we are not in
so much need of tree planting as they
are in the British isles But there are
two kinds of timber which the war de-
mand has greatly depleted, and they
are kinds Of much importance locust
and black walnut.
There is another point to be consid-
cred in the planting Of these trees:
They can be grown on sandy tracts of
land which are now considered Of no
value, and thus reclaim this land.
An excellent illustration of what
can be accomplished in the way Of re-
claiming useless land. through the
planting Of trees has been carried out
during the last six or eight years by a
resident Of Whiteside county, Illinois.
In these years he has accomplished the
seemingly impossible task of turning
some 70 acres of sand, formerly as bar
rem as the desert of Sahara, into a
flourishing forest. Nor is that all; for
this forest. acting as sand binder,
has been the means of saving other
fertile acres from the inrOads of the
drifting sand, the total result being
that the farm has increased several
times in value. The sandy tracts,
which, before being planted to trees,
were practically worthless, are now
worth anywhere from $50 to $1OO an
acre.
