THE RISING SOUTH

Watch the South grow says Roger Babson in a
recent statement. He presents SO rosy picture of
southern progress that the statstician might almost
be taken for native booster of that section rather
than the hard-headed New Englander he is.
He finds that the South has all the basic natural
resources-clmate, phosphates, fuel water power and
shipping facilities. 1t also has strategic location to
take advantage OF the growing Latin-American trade
All the section needs he thinks is little vision
and pep. and it is developing those qualities rap
idly that the North and West will have to look out II
they do not want to be outclassed industriay and
agricuturally. Alabama, he says, may become the
greatest industrial state in the Union, and Florida the
greatest agricultural state.
This estimate may surprise a good many people
in other sections 1t may shock them 1t is good
for everybody however to spread such comment be
fore the country 1t is nightly encouraging to the
South because the results of long uphill struggle
are beginning to show It is good for the North and
West because healthy competition is always stlmuat-
ing and because the prosperity of any section helps to
enrich other sections.

TO GUARD THE WTLDFLOWERS

campaign of education among school children
has been suggested the best way to prevent the
Inhalation of many of our native wldfowers With
the days at hand when going after wildflowers will be
the principal outdoor sport the campaign cannot be
put into execution too promptly.
Some states have tried to protect the native flora
by legislation, but law alone will not do it. What is
needed is some method for arousng widespread inter-
est in the subject of their preservation and the fact
that unless some restriction is put upon gathering
them many of the loveliest varieties in America
will be memories only.
There is much wider interest in such subjects than
formerly. 1t should not be difficult to public
cooperation in gathering wildflowers carefully and
sparingy and in the establishment of many preserves
grow freely and propagate their kind.
This campaign may well start in the schools.
Children are at the most ardent and ruthless
gatherers of flowers But they also the greatest
enthusiasts and propagandists in the world Under
proper guidance they easily be interested in wild
flower preservation themselves and then they will
preach the gospel to all their kindred.

THE RECREATION BUDGET

States last year on public recreation. This included
money for public golf courses, Fairgrounds and SIM
liar provision for outdoor amusements In
the money municipal funds, in others it rep
resented collaboration between public and private &C
tivities In many instances, it represented straight
gifts from pubc-spirted private citizens.
A 100000 golf course was bestowed on Salt Lake
City. Lebanon, n. H. received gift of land worth
$4,000 for playground Stockton, Cal, received a
land grant of 81 in the Sierras for municipal
camp And these only few of the items. So, east
and west and all the way between, the idea of out
door recreation gains in popularity Every year the
sums donated to promote it increase The recreation
budget for the nation in 1922 100000 more than
in 1921.
It is wholesome record, so packed with possibl-
tiles for health and cheer and friendly intercourse that
the nation should rejoice in it. So long people off
set their worries and their less wholesome occupa-
lions with such balance decay is a good way off.

Mustard in custard wouldn't be

would taste after Nurse Jane had
made it, when, all of a sudden, out

New and strong developments are said to be embodied in tho Buick line of cars for 1924, of which models have just reached Outside dealers and details of their design and con. struction furnished the Alaska Auto Supply Company. local dealer for the Buick The Buick announcement will prove of considerable interest to local motorists as heralding an ad. vance in automobile construction.
 There has been much gossip as to what this company would do, what features would be embodied in the 1924 models. Those who were in the know" had predicted just what it would be, yet athss car offered for next year by Buick is entirely riff ferent from what had heen forecast by the "wise" fones, showing how suc-

cessfully the company kept it's secret Buick claims that the features of the new model are developments and not innovations, \. evolutionary and not revolutionary. consistent throughout with Buick standards.
 Aside from the striking body changes, perhaps the most interest ing developments have been meshani- cal in nature. Four wheel brakes on both four and six cylinder models in dicate the trend toward safer driving. The Buick valve-in-head engine has been refined, but not changed to the point of submerging the overhead type of construction.
 Automatic force-feed to all major engine units, larger valve clearance, specially designed eorburetor, heavier cam and crank shafts are all factors in the Buick claim for greatly in creased power and efficiency
 The. bcdy design on the new mo dels is distinctly European in trend. This is especially noticeable in the enclosed cars Ten body styles are shown on the six-eylindcr chassis and four on the -four"
 A heavier frame and improved type of spring suspension add greatly to the strength and riding qualities of both the four and six cylinder cars.
