BIG ADVANCES

Most of the big advances have been
the work of several generations. The
next advances will be the elimination
of centuries, says the Dearborn Inde.
pendent. The human soul has been
preparing the material out Of which
new changes will come-preparing It
by suffering, indignation, futile efforts
at escape and yearning hope for a
new order in the future. Countless
multitudes prepare the material for
every advance, but the largest multi.
tude of all has prepared for the next
advance, which ought to abolish every
thought of individual glory, and cure
all childish impatlence with the ap-
parent slowness Of progress. The
short successes that can be gained in
q brief time and without difficulty, are
not worth much. The tree that lives
for centuries has as much rOOtage
underground as 1t has branches In the
air. The work Is for all who see 1t
its benefit Is for all who share It;
talk Of personal glory Is impossible,
Is out Of place, In the movement for
better social order.

There. doesn't seem to be any
medium Of exchange in Russia and
money will not stand still long
enough to be counted. The soviet
government is therefore proposing to
make the pood of barley the unit Of
exchange. Barley Is national staple,
and just now can be used In any home.
II can be used for bread, coffee or
beer. A pood of barley Is equal to
SO pounds In this country and might
be called the new dollar Of the soviets.
A commission has fixed Its exchange
value for so many eggs, potatoes,
cigarettes. halrpins, collar buttons and
the like. Any gentleman contemplat.
Ing a trip to Russia would do we'll to
carry q few pOOds Of barley In his
trunk, says the Los Angeles Times.
He will 60 farther than he would If
equipped with bale Of paper rubles.
1t seems funny that the basis Of the
home brew In this country should be
accepted as money in Russia. But
why not?

RINGGOLD HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Monday morning when the train
rolled in the station platform was very
much crowded with eager Seniors to
meet our much loved principal, Miss
Mary, who came to be with us again.
We were all delighted to have her Wis
it the school Monday, but more de.
lighted to have her take up her work
Tuesday. Her presence in school
seems to put new life in everyone.
Friday afternoon in the Literary So
ciety of the L. A. K, the most enjoyable
number was rendered by Mr.. and Mrs.
A. G. Durham Of Shreveport, who were
visiting relatives here. First, they
gave us popular music in duet form
on the piano; then Mrs. Durham very
charmingly sang with Mr.. Durham ac-
companying her at the piano. They
are both young and talented musicians
and we were pleased to have them.
, The many friends Of Irma Jolly and
4. s. Study are glad to know that they
are able to be back in school after hav-
ing been Ill for some time. It is also
a source Of pleasure to learn that Al
Inc Hyde who has been very sick, is
improving. and great hopes are enter
tained for her rapid recovery.
We are very proud Of our town and
School Improvement League, as it is
doing and planning so much for the
betterment of the R. H. s. They have
decided for each member to donqte a
book Or the price Of a book TO our new
library, which we shall have wien
we enter the new "lIi."
The last number Of CIR lyceum
course was enjoyed by a large audi.
ence last Wei II s1ay night. The splen.

has done much to advance and UNFIT

Music lovers with an aversion for
Jazz were recently alarmed to hear
from Italy that one Of the modernist
composers had engaged an inventor to
mako 4 group Of new instruments to
increase the resources Of the conven-
;ttonal orchestra Of strings, percussion,
brass and bells. The result was
dozen or more devices to make strange
sounds and the composer quickly set
to paper the notes Of tone poem that
would employ these new sounds. Ears
attuned to Mozart and Beethoven take
no pleasure In these strange, not to
say raucous, sounds. Noise-making
machines, they are termed by listeners
who will have none Of them. With all
the present demand that the symphony
orchestra be enlarged to meet the pc.
culiar, demands Of this new writer or
that, Il would seem that It would be

clans with the object Of determining

Z ~.,aAppFARINo FORESTS

!. n. annual report Of W. D.
|Gree,ey, chief forester Of the united
states. emphasis is laid upon two facts
that demand the attention Of the en-
tire country. One Is that fhree.ni'is
Of the virgin forests Of the United
states have been cut and so nave ols-
aonearsd. and the other Is that the
jcouutry's annual demand for timber
liz four times as large as us ahhua'
production. Attention Is called also
10 the immense tracts Of burned-over'
denpdsd and utterly Improbable for
eat lands that should be reclaimed
and devoted to useful purposes. 10
meet the situation Colonel Greeley rec
ommends federal legislation which, ne
SAYS should recognize the principe
that, because Of the foresight neces-
sary to meet future national needs,
the pub'ic's Interest in the forest LANDS
Is comparable to Its Interest IN the
proper handling Of a public utility,
end the further principle that, since
the production Of timber Is an eco
nomlc process, the requirements I'M
posed by the public on owners OF for
ests must be equitable and practicable
from q business point Of view. Bad
as Colonel Greeley's report shows the
nations timber situation to be, 1t re-
veals little that Is new. The encour.
aging feature is that the public and
the public's representatives are COM
ing to recognize the seriousness Of the
situation and that In congress as well
as In various state legislatures active
measures Of Improvement are under
consideration. For scientific, econom-
iic and ali other reasons the public
must hope that the wlsest Of these
measures speedily will be put in

WILT RESISTANT TOMATO
SEED FOR DISTRIBUTION

The Louisiana Pink and the Lou.
isiana Red wilt resistant varieties Of
tomatoeswhich have been developed
at the Louisiana Experiment Station,
Baton Rouge, have been proven to be
satisfactory for Louisiana conditions,
both in resistance to the wilt and in
their yielding ability. In all the tests
at the experiment station they have
yielded considerably more than any
OF the other wilt resistant varrities
tried, and in two tests out Of three,
they have yielded more than any 9TH
er variety. Tests with these varie-
ties in all parts Of the state have been
highly satisfactory.
In order that the gardeners Of the
state who havehad trouble with wilt,
may have some wilt resistant seed Of
the two Louisiana introductions, the
horticultural department Of the ex-
pertinent station grew a limited
amount Of this seed for distribution.
Recipients Of the seed will be re-
quired to save a small amount Of them
and to keep a simple record. Interest
ed persons should write to the Hor-
ticultural Department Of the Louisiana
State University at Baton Rouge for
an agreement form and a record sheet,
