SAN FRANcIsco's skYscRApEa

Surely 1t must long have seemed a
reproach to California, the land of
big trees. big peaches. big telescopes.
and big ranches. that il should possess
no Skyscraping building worthy of the
name. OF course, with the immense
tracts Of habitabIe territory within its
valleys. there is less apparent need
FOR seeking communion with the sun
swept skies than there might be. say.
in crowded New York. Nevertheless
IL seems sometimes. on viewing the
WoOlwOrth building. that New York
piped and California refused To pay.
But now IL appears that the reproach
will be lifted. San Francisco will join
the game with its projected S0O-foot
high Croker building, says the
Christian Science Monitor. This will
be easily the tallest building on the
Pacific coast But it's claims may
not stop at all. Does not the Wool
worth itself measure but $50 feet from
sidewalk to peak? Then. of course
there will be subsidiary note-compar
ings with the WOolworth. which can
offer 43 miles Of plumbing. two miles
of elevator shafts. 40 acres Of floor
area, and hundreds OF millions OF
pounds weight. Truly it is a wonder

Patriotic to Pass This Along

Every newspaper published in
Mississippi ought - be sent TO
the Old Soldiers Home at Beau
voir each week without charge.
This ought 10 be done so that the
inmates, no matter from what
county they had come, would be
kept in touch with the news from
their homes. Such news would
be a source of great interest and
pleasure to them. The Aberdeen
Weekly will be sent from this
time forward TO the old soldiers
home at BeauVoir, Miss. without
charge. We are going 10 suggest
that all editors in Mississippi,
whose papers are not already go
ing TO the home, follow our suit.
II this shall be done, the old sol
diers, whom we all love 10 honor,
will be made happy TO read about
the folks at home. relive their
own days of youthfulnesS and
activity, and above all, know that

the thousands of their readers.
remember and appreciate their
service 10 our country during the
trying days of the civil war and
reconstruction. Let's send every
newspaper published in the state
TO the old soldiers home each
week. Let's do ii as token OF
the love and esteem we bear
these old veterans in the hope
that our small donations may in
some measure contribute TO the
enjoyment of these old soldiers.

In searching the haystack" for

it has been discovered that boards

To Red Blooded Southerners

: Under existing law. each county
in Mississippi is authorized through
its board of supervisors to donate
81 900 to help build hospital for
the old Confederate soldiers at
Beauyoir. This is CALL to the
patriotism of red blooded South

kindred blood of Confederate vet

For them the appeal is made and
to the sons and daughters OF the
Confederacy it il directed. 1t goes

Is There Oil In Mississippi?

Is there oil in Mississippi? This
much mooted question has been
asked and debated for the past few
years. Eminent geologists stake
their reputation on their opinion
that Mississippi has oil, and that
the state will prove to be the big
oil field of the world.
There never has yet been a suffi-
cient test to prove whether there is
oil or not. There is only one posi-
tive way to det9rmine-andt that is
to drill.
Most of che attempts have been
made in South Mississippi, while
the consensus of opinion of geolo-
gists is that North Mississippi, is
decidedly the most favorable part
of the state for exploitation. Prac-
tically all test wells have been drill
ed in the southern part of the state
with exception of the Charleston
we'll. This one we'll is no complete
test. They drilled 4 years at Edo

side, and when the roll was called,
the bill was defeated. This bill
would have received a veto had il
reached the governor so no further
effort was made to pass it.
The bill was generally regarded as
the most dangerous bill introduced
in the legislature. One member
said it ought to be entitled A bill
to enslave and pauperize the people
of Mississippi and their children.
This bin represents a deliberate
effort on the part OF the predatory
interests to own all the lands in
Mississippi. Along with the land
holding bill was another measure
permitting corporations to operate
farms. This bill is the entering
wedge and will be followed up year
after year. until the corporations
will have the right and will own the
lands of Mississippi. When this day
