yellow fever II, August, 1873, during
that edidemic. At his death his twin
brother. Captain John Powell, told
her from thence on his home was to
be hers. At that time he owned the
most luxurious home in Grenada.
About that time she heard her
nephews and ~nieces, whom she had
seen, needed her care, protec-
ton and guidance; so she went to a
far distant western state where the
six were living and brought them to
Grenada. Shortly thereafter she left
the sumptuous home of her brother
in-law and went out into the business
world to toll and labor for those chill
dren whose support and education
she had voluntarily assumed. But for
the liberal generosity of big hearted
Captain John Powell she could not
have accomplished her high purpose.
She lived to see these children grow
TO useful maturity, trying to follow
the Christian ideals she i~nculcated
while they were young. They occupy
honored positions in their several sta
lions of life. To her they were the
comfort and joy declining y~earsSand

In the days of my youth and early
manhood it was my high privilege to

the unselfish love she bore her hus-'

SENAT Or MILLER IN THE
RACE FOR CONGRESS

The Sentinel is authorized to place
the name of Senator S. A. Miller of
Clay County before its readers as a
candidate for Congress from this the
fourth congressional district.
Mr.. Miller was born and reared in
the Abbot neighborhO0d, Clay County.
He grew up on the farm and now owns
a very nice sized farm in the COM
munlty where he was reared. He
prldeS himself on his farm work, and
IN offering himself for the important
trust he seeks. he feels that the peO-
pie of the district will have an OPP
nurtunIty to send farmer. that class
or calling which constitutes about
seventy per cent of the activities Of
Mississippi, to Congress.
He was educated at the A. 4 NJ.
College. He worked himself through
that institution by his W efforts in

Mailer went to Cornell University in
New York and there also graduated.
being awarded a diploma i'm agricul-
ture. Mr.. NiIler's friends claim for
MN that while being educated as a
farmer, that his farm education has
not destroyed his practical ideas and
thai he has combined his knowledge
gained at college with what he has
leaned by experience and observation
or me farm so that he is one Of the
best and most successful farmers in
the district.
Senator Miller was honored by the
people OF his district BY being made
State Senator in 1918. a duty he met
with great credit to himself and with
satisfaction to his constituency. He
was regarded as one of the most in
du~crious and leading forces in the
State Senate and on some of the most
important committees.
Mr.. Miller takes great consolation
in the record he made for economy
and against creating new offices while
a State Senator and wants it under
stood that he appreciates fully the
great tax burdens of the present hour
and promises, if elected to Congress.
to pursue the same policy against eX-
t'avagance that he did at Jackson.
When the war anne on, he volun- !
teertd ms services but was rejected; /
he was drafted and while vet a
State Senator, he did not let that
stand in his way. but stated that he
was ready to follow the flag. After
the Armistice, he was used at Wash
l"-tcn City in some Of the post war
activities.
Senator Miller stands well as a
friend and as a neighbor in his COM
munity and it is stated Of him by
who know him best that he is
and true in ali things.
He states that he expects TO make
thorough canvass Of the district and
especially appeals to the ladies to
INQUIRE into his life as a private
and that he would be more
han grateful for every kind word
hat they might say Of him.

Data recently prepared by the Department of Interior (t course, 1t
will be understood that these figures Ire merely estimates) show that the
total valuation of the national estate"-the actual value of products when
the same are realized upon-would be a minimum of $150,000O000 600.
1t might he MORE much more. Of this amount the estimated amount that
the United States would receive by way of royalty, rental and other miscel-
laneous returns, would be about $12, 000O00,000.
Needless to say, so al to be within reason, all valuations have been set
at their minimum, whether as to land areas, tonnages of coal and phos-
pilates, volume of oils, quantities of timber, and so on. The net worth of
this vast wealth to the government is al follows:
Coal royalties, $780, 1000; Alaska coal royalties, ST. 100000;
oil royalties, $175,O 00O 900; Alaska oil royalties, s., 100000; oil shale royal
ties, 100000 900; phosphate royalties, $2sO,0OO,0O0; potash royalties,
$780, 1000; annual returns from water power, Alaska and United States,
81, 900 yvalue of vacant lands subject to entry (not included in private
estates) S31O,O0O 900; national forest lands, S., 000,000,O00, and value
of Indian reservation minerals, SIS, 800 00000.
The approximate area of the public lands of the United States, re-
served and unreserved, was, at the end of the last fiscal year, 49, 65, 1902
acres. OF this the unappropraed and unreserved area, exclusive of Alaska,
was 200, 320, 1913 acres The reservations and Withdrawals, not including
reclamation Withdrawals, consisted of $685. 44 ,954 acres.
Approximately 154, 100000 acres, reserved and known as forest re-
serves, for the greater part are used for grazing and are fitted for graz
ing homesteads, while other large areas are susceptible of cultivation
and may hereafter furnish homes for some of our population. The De-
partment of the Interior has jurisdiction over these forest lands when
thrown open and has jurisdiction also over mines and mineral claims and
agricultural entries o n such reserves.

Resident.

said Mrs. Celesta Fell, 80 Prince street,
Boston, Mass, recently, in telling OF
the great benefits she has derived from
the use of Tanlac.
"My stomach was in such a bad fix
before I took Tanlac that / did not
dare eat much of anything, for If I did
I would have so much pain and dis
tress from Indigestion that / felt like
I was going to die. 1 was so run down
and weak from lack of nourishment
that I could not do my housework.
II was so nervous I couldn't keep
still during the day nor sleep at night.
I can see now if it had not been for

entirely. I am now feeling strong and
healthy and all the credit belongs to
Tanlac."

Advertising Is a Friend of Housewife in
Solving Her Buying Problems


Woman's work is the biggest business in the world. Uncle Sans
own estimate of the income value of womans services is eighteen billion
dollars annually. This is larger than the yearly value of all farm products
or of the total output of the steel and iron mills. The American house
wife buys a thousand dollars worth of goods a minute. She buys 4S pei

Advertising lowers prices because it increases distribution and widens
demand. That is why, as a consumer, am thoroughly convinced that

The Story of American Wars: Gallant Deeds
and Lack of Preparation


The story of American wars is one of gallant deeds and great personal
courage on the part of The individual and soldier, but lack of preparation
and training has always led to undue loss of life and heavy financial bur-
dens.
While we boast of having been victorious in our early foreign wars, it
was due more directly to the weakness of the enemy and his engagements
elsewhere than to the exercise of wise forethought in preparation or to
superior strategcal or tactical ability on the part of our own forces or
their leaders.
As to the World war, l firmly believe that a substantial condition of
preparedness of our land and naval forces, backed by an adequate mer-
chant marine, would have kept us out of the war, and would have placed
us in a position to have brought ii 10 al early termination. Moreover, it
is not too much to say that under these conditions and with strong leader
ship, we might have prevented the World war altogether.

If we continue to GO in the same direction in a legislative way IS we

men in this house that you will have destroyed the principles of a repre-
sentative government and established an autocracy in every department.
Every activity of the human being will be supervised and controlled
and regulated by some functonary in the government called a bureau
chief. AS it is today it is hard to find a group or a community relying on
their own ingenuity and inventive genius for solving the problems affect
ing their locality; but on the contrary, they are all getting up petitions
and appealing to congress to pass some law to do for them that which they
should do for themselves.
This tendency breeds unrest, dissatisfaction, agitation, and dscon-
tent. And let me say that no nation ever existed after a majority of its
people became dissatisfied with its workings. | believe in our form of gov

To Enable Us to Do Better as a Government
Than We Have in the Past


The public domain is fast disappearing. The time
has come to determine, if only approximately, its ex-

that is to say, wealth from our natural resources-has
been brought in the past by American initiative.
American energy, American industry. We possess
business capacity in a most remarkable degree as in

what we have and how much Of it, to enable us to do
better, as a government, in the future than we have
done in the past.
