A Matter of Evolution
From 1914 to the big strike of
1917 we may assume that condi-
tions in the lumber woods were not
Of the best. All Industrial improve
ment is matter Of evolution, but,
as yet, the living conditions in the
great woods had not evoluted. The
men did hard work and lived In
shacks and bunkhouses. They fur
nished their own bedding with which
they trudged from camp to camp.
For many years there were no
amusements for the men, and this,
with the lack Of home life and the
general feeling Of responsibility,
made Of these workers saturnine.
rough fellows who, in the rough-and-
tumble fights Of the camps, sunk the
spikes Of their shoes deep into the
faces Of their opponents. There is
no gainsaying that the employers
were slow to recognize conditions,
or it may be that they thought the
quality of creature comforts was
comparable to the loyalty Of their
men.
after the great strike Of 1917
was called living conditions for the
lumbermen were improved. Better
beds, better food and better hours
were established. Now I would
rather have meal in q Washing
ton lumber camp than the best din
ner that could be served in a New
York hotel. Camp cooks are paid
SITS to $500 month and they are
acquainted with the appetites to
which they minister.
"The advent of better living con-
ditions did not diminish the popu-
larity Of the I. W. w. Rather it
helped, for the results Of the strike
were pointed to as the magic that
could be weaved by organization
and many converts were gained. So
far, so good; for these, broadly, are
accepted principles Of employer
employee relations and are thing
apart from revolution.
"That takes in again the character
of the men. Seattle, as the first
port Of entry from Russia, and the
Northwest in general as the jump
ing off place for those who drift
across the continent from the At
lantic continued to attract the home
less wanderer. Under the prevailing
conditions it was here that the
'floater' changed from q nobody to
a somebody, for In the eyes Of the
"Red" radicals who ruled the I. w.
W. the foater was potentially a
soldier Of the revolution and as such
was valuable asset.

y w. w. eruptions on Armistice
Day and the events Of the

singled out the Northwest as
the hot spot Of radicalism.
The shooting down Of four ex-

lynching Of one "Red" and the tall

situation the end of which is not

Unnatural Living

"The conditions which have out
lined are as surely responsible for
the outbreaks on Armistice Day as
they were for the attempted revo-
luton last winter in Seattle. 1t
finds Its basis In the unnatural state
of living which prevails in the
Northwest plus the false hopes held
out by the radical leaders taking
their cue from Russia. Ignorance
Is at the bottom of the situation,
but while such ignorance obtains it
Is important that public conscious
ness be awakened to the danger and
that it be properly combated,
"1n the outbreaks at Centralia
and elsewhere the tag has been def
nitely placed on the l. W. W., Just

that their acts were governed by the
motive Of self-defence will be taken
for what they are worth.
"As g remedy for a situation su-
perinduced by an unnatural state Of
living and which has reached such
an acute stage as is evidenced in
the Northwest, there is but one cure,
and that is force. If the public
wants to fight 7. w. W.-ism let US

The MagOwah Drainage District

The price of all agricultural pro-
ducts, based upon the worlds de-
mand, has established the value Of all
lands upon a new basis. All lands
have value which they have never
had before and it is extremely doubt
full if they will ever decline in price.
Especially is this true in America,
which win be called upon to feed and
clothe the world. Lands in the
North and West have advanced to
that point where with their high price
and high cost of cultivation, they
can earn only a small dividend upon
their investment. The result is that
the great tide of land-seekers is
turning and has turned South, where
cur lands are underpriced compared
to their canning capacity and where
cheaper labor give them added value.
The result is that millions have been
invested in Southern lands and that
millions more will be invested before
the parity is established between all
sections of our country. This parity
will be maintained and must be
maintained for the economic welfare
of the whole nation. There is
no real reason for lands in one sec

WOMEN NEED
SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney
and bladder trouble and never sus-
pect it.
Women's complaints often prove to
be nothing else but kidney trouble,
or the result of kidney or bladder
disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healing
condition, they may cause the other
organs to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of
ambition, nervousness, are often
times symptoms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..

prescription, obtained at any drug

to overcome such conditions.

provement methods instituted in this
county upon large scale within the
next few years.
The reclamation Of lands is a sub
ject which is receiving the consider
alton Of all our people. The fact
that there is the finest drainage pro-
ject in the South in this country
where probably fifty-thousand acres
would be reclaimed or benefited
largely is again coming to the at
tention of our people. 1t is none
other than the Magowah bottom.
This vast area is the richest area
in the country. It, like the Valley
of the Nile, is land made by the
washings Of centuries. 1t is soil Of
unfathomable depth, rich in organic
matter and impregnated with lime
which makes it the finest soil in this
section. The matter Of draining it
came before the people here years
ago but it received scant consider
alton in that day of unprogressive
methods. But since then the stan
dards of our people have become
more broadened, they are more pro-
gressive and this progress has made
itself manifest in good roads, better
farming methods, better homes, finer
stock and every other field of agri-
culture. If the drainage of Magowah
bottom comes up now it is expected
that the project would command
support from everp section affected
by it.
The area has enough waterfall,

and the. construction Of large main
canal with lateral canals leading into
the bottoms which are tributaries to
it, would open up the finest agri-
cultural section in the South; would
vastly improve those lands already
under cultication and would make this
whole area worth a. million more
than it is at present worth. This
county has the finest drainage pro-
ject in the whole south and it is
only a matter of time when it will
receive the attention of its owners
and become the richest area in Mis-
sissippi and the most valuable.

acre. One must 60 up or the other
must come down. We believe that
the basis win be reached by a grad
ual advance Of Southern lands as we'll
as a gradual decline on Northern
lands. The disparity Of value is now
too far apart.
The value of lands is givin to every
acre a new consideration. With cheap
lands and cheap labor the matter Of
letting few acres or a few hundred
acres lie out uncultivated was of lit
tie concern. But with land worth a
hundred dollars an acre there is de-
mand that every acre be made to
produce. Owners do not like to have
q part Of their invested capital idle,
especially when it represents SO much
in the aggregate, and hence the high
priced land will make for the welfare
of the country in modern methods of
production, increased and intensified
farming, rotation of all crops so
that the best results will be attained,
and in many other ways. The high
value of lands also brings to the at
tention Of the land owner the de-
STABILITY of reclaiming all land
which can be made to produce or to
improve lands already under cultiva-
tion so that more certain returns can
be counted. Thus we may expect to

Its Economy and
Reliability Wins

Business men can not spare any time for me-
chanical attention TO their cars They lay out
their schedules and must travel with the precision
of a rail road train. An automobile that requires
frequent attention means delays and delays are
costly. Consequently the Essex has won thou
sands who have learned it's reliability.
Then too, they know how little it costs to
operate an Essex It's first cost is lower than one
would expect in such quality car But when
considered on mileage basis, where the gasoline,
tire, oil and maintenance expenses ere computed,
the Essex has won as no other car has done.
The Columbus dispatch., 1919-12-14
1t is a New Type Which
$4,000 Have Adopted

No greater endorsement should be required.
What car has ever ecualled the success of the
Essex? In ten months motorists have shown
their faith to the extent of thirty million dollars
paid for eighteen thousand Essex cars of various
types.
You know the Essex as a small, light weight car
that does not appear tiny And if you have ever
ridden in an Essex, you have observed that no
riding sensation suggests its smallneSs. But its
lightness means there is no useless weight.
Strength and durability are attained by proper
design and highest quality materials Any doubt
some may have had that the Essex is too powerful
for its weight and that it could not long stand the
road pounding its performances invite have had
opportunity to dispel their fears.
The Essex has shown that light weight ad-
vantages can be obtained without sacrifice of
durability, performance or fine quality. 1t has
earned its leadership.
The roadster is the newest favorite. 1t is
lively, comfortable, and good looking. 1t win
appeal to those who want pleasure runabout or
a utility car.
