MISSISSIPPI A LAND BUILDER

From the Arkansas Gazette.
 Such seas of water as now are pouring down the Mississippi built up through the ages the rich alluvial lands where an agricultural empire has been developed. From regions that now in- clude the largest part of the United States soils were carried down by the waters and deposited in the lower valley. It is estimated that of the land that was thus made, Missouri has 1849,- 900 acres, Arkansas 2,977 1000 acres, Mississippi 4,432,000 acres and Louisiana 9,400,000 acres, including considerable amount of it's gulf coast.
 Not only have sea shells been found in the alluvial regions at depths ranging from 100 to 1000 feet and mofe, but well drllers have struck logs far down in the earth. At depth of nearly 200 feet log was struck near Bur dette, in Mississippi county Arkansas; another log was struck nearly 100 feet down at Isoia, in Humphreys county Mississippi. Not long ago well drillers in the lower Mississippi delta found log 600 feet below the surface.
 The material brought down by the Mississippi is today building new land at the mouth of the river. About mile of land is built up every 16 or 20 years.

CITY AND COUNTRY ARE. PULLING TOGETHER

Meetings at which an expert will talk dairy ing, poultry and hog raising will be held at 10 Alabama towns, beginning May 1. They are to be conducted by the extension department of the International Harvester company in con- junction with the Southern Bell Telephone company, and have the indorsement of civic associations, newspapers and bankers. Ad- dresses will be delivered by H. s. Mobley, an authority on these lines.
 Meetings like this emphasize the manner in which the modern business men of the city and the sensible men and women in the coun- try are cooperating for the development of agricultural interests. The Harvester company which sells machinery to farmers the telephone company, which sells them telephone service, and the bankers whose deposits depend on the condition of the. farmer and the aggregated business, capital and energy represented by chambers of commerce, which active and successful, or inactive, according to the ebb and flow of rural prosperity-all these fully appreciate the importance of stabilized farm industry.
 The farmer no longer distrusts the city man, coming to him with an offer of cooperation, because he has learned that the offer is genu- inc and intended to help one quite as much as the other.
 City and country are acting more sensibly toward each other since they discovered the wisdom of working together for thesgeneral good.

SEEKS SISTER AND BROTHER

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 With the help of your good paper a regular visitor at my home, am led to believe that I may possibly be enabled to locate long-lost sister and brother.
 We were born and reared to the average age of perhaps or years at Woods Ferry on the Coosa river, west of Rockford, where our parents died. My sister, Lizzie Moore, was born about 1872 or 1873, was adopted by a family named Wortham, and may have assumed their name, they at the time residing at Co., lumbana. In former effort to obtain infor- nation concerning her I heard that she had married telegraph opreator named William Bell at Coumbiana
 My brother, John Moore, was born about 1875 and was reared by Mrs Thompson at Marble Valley, where last heard of him when he was about years of age.
 Any help you may be able to render will certainly be appreciated in the event that this may fall into the hands of anyone ac- quanted with my relatives I would feel deeply grateful to them for any information they might give me. J. L.. N. MOORE.

TOLL OF LoNDoN,S FOG

From the Scientific American.
 The worst fog since 1902 visited London last November. It is estimated to have cost the city $3,OOo,00o for each of the 30 days it lasted. Trains were delayed, omnibuses tied up and 60 laden vessels lay helpless off Gravesend, while 20 miles away the sun shone brilliantly. Health and property suffered alike, and six men were drowned by walking off piers. This fog was due entirely to smoke, and a new campaign was launched by the Coal and Smoke abatement society with the object of having abatement measures passed.

COLONIZING STRANGERS IS
 CUESSWORK AFFAIR

The Canadian Mennonites, who came to the neighborheod of Chatom, in Washington county, last year, settling there in colony, have begun to separate. Some are returning to Canada and some are going to Missouri. Others will remain in Alabama. Many have sold their lands and stock for what they could get and departed with experience as their principal pos session.
 It Is difficult to make success of coloniza- ton of strange people in strange land. When that is attempted. many come without knowl- edge of local conditions, either directly or in- directly.
 Alabama wants new citizens, but prefers for them to come one by one rather than in droves, knowing little or nothing about the place to which they are going.
 The Mennonite colony was doubtful expert ment. Its apparent collapse will cause no sur prise. Those who remain will probably make good citizens, because they elected to stay after learning something about their new home

BREAK OF MORNING

Walter de la Mare, in ale Review. Sound the invisible trumps. In circuit vast The passive earth like scene of dream is set. The small birds fit and sing, their dark hours
 past,
 And their green sojournings with dewdrops
 wet
 With giant boughs outspread, the oaks on high Brood on in sumbrous quiet in the air. Sole in remote inane of vacant sky. Failing Arcturus sparkles wildly fair. Sound the invisible trumps. The waters weep. A stealing wind breathes in the meads, is gone. Into their earthen burrows the wild things
 creep;
 Cockcrow to thinning cockcrow echoes on- Avert thine eyes, sleep-ridden face! Norscan Those seraph hosts that in divine array Girdle the mortal-masked empyrean; Their sovran beauty is this break of day. Theirs is the music men call Silence here; What wonder grief distorts thy burning eyes? Turn to thy pillow again--in love and fear; Not thine to see the Son of Morning rise.

FARMING IN IRELAND

From "The Real Ireland" by S. s. Mcclure,
 in McClure's Magazine.
 Soil and climate combine to make Ireland one of the richest farming countries in the world. In 1912 Ireland sold as much food to Great Britain as the United States. By the year 1913 only one country in the world sold more food to Great Britain than Ireland, and that country was the United States, and Ireland furnished nine-tenths as much as the United States And during the second year of the war, when there was tremendous increase in food shipments from the United States to Great Britain, Ire- land sold to Great Britain half as much food as the United States.

cARTooNIST AND THE PUBLIC

From the Duluth Herald.
 "The public" the cartoonists see it, is insignificant little shrimp who is always get ting the worst of it. The caricature nearest it is that of the henpecked husband. "The public" is always under the heels of capital labor, poli- tics, industrial strife, Congress, the tax gatherer, the tax-spender and the profteer. A favorite cartoon idea pictures "the public being held up by the heels so his money can oe shaken out of his pockets for the benefit of one or other of it's oppressors. Reflective reader, the cartoonist is drawing picture of you You are the public. Do you like the represen- tation? If you don't it would be wise to ask yourself whether or not it is true represen- tation. If it isn't, then you needn't mind it. If it is, don't abuse the cartoonst; abuse your self. The public is, most of the time, exactly the insignificant shrimp which the cartossa-t pictures. It is long-suffering. It stands for al- most anything and everything. It submits to being abused, kicked, cuffed, robbed, cheated, driven out of it's own front yard.

HARTFORD ON PRESS ROOM

T am heartily in favor of providing press room for the reporters in the city hall,'' said George R. Trafford, secretary of the public safety department, yesterday in discussing the recent move toward providing quarters for re- porters assigned to the city hall.
 By giving them place to make their head quarters where they will have telephone by which they can keep in touch with their papers think that news breaking here could be han dled more advantageous.
 ''In the large cities of the country under stand that they have such press rooms, and I think it would be good idea to give the boys one here"

IF GERMANY AND RUSSIA SHOULD
 UNITE WITH JAPAN

An interesting bit of gossip comes from Genoa. It is rumored that negotiations are un- der way to form triple alliance between Ger many, Russia and Japan. Whether or not the plan will be carried out depends on the turn of events at Genoa. Just at present it looks as if the Genoa conference would be failure. The nations of Europe have not yet frankly ac- knowledged that they are willing to get to- gether for the common good of all. They are playing the same old game in the same old way, and it may lead to disaster.
 An alliance between Russia, Germany and Japan has been hinted at before. It has been suggested as one of the serious possibilities re- sulting from the World war and the quarrcls among the allied nations who won the war with Americas assistance. Russia and Ger many have already signed an agreement It is ostensiby an economic arrangement, but it could easily become something else. An al- liance between Germany, Russia and Japan would be on its face an economic understand ing, but it would constitute the most powerful combination of European and Asiatic nations that could be made. It would not only be in
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-04-27

position in few years to dominate Europe and Asia, but it would be menace to the whole world.
 Germany would probably take the leadership certainly so far as Russia is concerned. The Germans have long been dominant in the busi- ness, financial and industrial life of Russia, and they are rapidly extending their control. Such an alliance would have one of the smartest and most progressive nations working with Japan which is but little behind Germany in those re- spects, and Russia's tremendous resources in man power and natural wealth. Under German tutelage the rejuvenation of Russia would be speedily accomplished All are great military nations.
 The possibility of such an alliance may well give pause to the statesmen at Genoa. It would mean new balance of power an amalgamation of about 25o,ooO,OOO people, bent on aggran- dizement, which means conquest.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
CONAN DoYLE's DELUsIoN

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 It would seem to me that while Sir Conan Doyle has been great man in the field of lit- erary effort in past years that he has fallen from worthy pedestal when he seeks to delve in mystics which throughout all the past ages have never yielded up a thing to the advan- tage of the human race-no, not in the slightest measure.
 No doubt Sir Doyle is sincere, but it is strange that man of his range can be so ut terly deceived by the pranks and undgnifed buffoonery of the old magic cabinet with it's tambourine, bell and rope paraphernalia.
 This trick has been pulled off a thousand times by popular magicians who dsclaim any spiritual phenomena. It is trick, pure and simple, and those who know anything of the workings of the system are fully aware that the illusions are purely mental and optical
 If the dead have passed on to higher plane surely they should have greater power and un- derstanding than we have here; if not they are no better off. If they are spirit beings it should not be necessary for them to resort to schoolboy tricks and dismal shrieks. Evidently such stuff is worked to parayze the mind with fear and rob one of the power to reflect on the folly of such antics.
 AS IHe DlDle says, lHe uedQ knOW not any thing" nor will they until the day of the resur- rection.
 If our "dear departed" had passed beyond and still lived on more exalted plane, surely their added knowledge would enable them to find graceful and dgnfed method of com muncaton with us.
 If the spiritual realms are filled with such nonsense we'd probably find more profit in stay ing where we are.
 Again, if such foolishness is really of spir- itual nature, it is much more likely the pranks of mischievous demons who seek te draw us from the light of truth.
 If we desire to be the children of the light, why monkey with the dark powers which need dim lights and shady corners with which to put their deceptions?
