Washington, July 26.-While the activities of southern settlement and development have so far been large ly carried on in the southeastern states and one or two gulf states, the movement is appealing to many people in the interior states of the Mississippi Valley and other sec tions of tthat vast region
 A state organization will be form ed as soon as possible in Arkansas. A.lA. Weber. secretary of the Cham Der of Commerce at Batesville, Ark. has urged that steps be taken to- wards this end. He is in touch with Vice President Ucker of the main organization and with managers of the organizations in other states, and the work will be taken up in Arkansas before long.
 State organization work will also be undertaken in Mississippi early in September. H. E. Blakeslee of Gulfport, president of the Mississip- p Centennial Exposition and head of the preliminary state organiza- tion,. stresses the importance of de- veloping land for agricultural pur- poses and abeiishing tenantry as tar as possible.

 imagination.

There Is no commoner cause Of his- toricaI misjudgment than the ten dency to read the events of the past too exclusively in the light of the present and so twist the cold and un- conscious record into the training service of controversial politics. And yet history is inevitably to great ex- tent a work of the imagination. No good historian is content merely to re- peat the record of the past. He has to understand it, to see behind 1t, to find more in it than 1t actually says. He cannot understand without the use of his constructive imagination, and he cannot imagine effectively with out the use of his experience. I bs- lieve 1t is one of the marks of a great historian to see both present and past, as 1t were, with the same un- clouded eye, to realize the past story as if it were now proceeding before him.. and envisage the present much in the same perspective as It will beat when 1t is as one chapter, or so many pages, in the great volume of the past

MODEL ON AMERICAN CLUBS
France Considering Adoption Of Our
Methods of Teaching Farming to
Boys and Girls.

France is considering the adoption
Of Uncle Sans, methods of teaching
better farming and home making to
boys and girls. Representatives from
the French high commission, lately In
this country, made a point of studying
carefully the methods of the federal
department of agriculture and the
state agricultural colleges in conduct
ing boys and girls clubs. Much of
the information thus collected has
been widely reprinted by the French
press. accompanied by editorial COM
ment expressing the view that, the
man or woman power of France hav-
ing been depleted or disorganized by
war service. France for some time to
come will be dependent in large part
upon its younger population for it's
food supply and suggesting the forma-
ton in France Of a nationwide system
of boys and girls clubs patterned on
those in America. 1t is expected that
these clubs will grow staple products
garden produce, wool, farm grain
and forage crops, poultry and farm
animals on farms not devastated, the
very soil of which must first of all be
put in condition. They will stimulate
production by the. young people of
France through organized contests not
only in farming but in home enter
prises such as bread making, garment
making, cooking and home manage
ment.

Learns of the War.

A woman was discovered in this
city yesterday who has lived all
through the great war and did not
know that it was going on. She is an
aged woman of German birth. Her
age kept her son from telling her
about the horrors of the invasion Of
Belgium and of the sinking of the Lu-
sitania. He didn't wish her to worry
and fret. But the day Of the peace
demonstration made it impossible to
keep silent. The old lady heard the
whistles blowing and the crowds
cheering and she demanded to know
what it was all about. When they told
her she raised her hands in a gesture
OF imprecation and said: "Oh, if only
1 could get these two hands on the
kaiser The interesting part of her
story is that her husband was a Ger
man soldier. The gray uniform was

Although the populated area OF ST.
IBERIA is only belt along the Trans
Siberian railway, that belt is 5000
miles long and contains nearly 10000
600 people. Before the war Siberian
foreign trade was largely in the hands
of German houses. which undoubtedly
will make desperate efforts to regain
it when the return of normal condi-
lions has brought back the demand for
general merchandise, rolling stock and
agricultural machinery. But in spite

tunity is one that America cannot af-
ford to neglect.-Youth's Companion.
