So Says Dr. Rowe, Discussing
 Pan-AmeriCanism

Wiliamstown, Mass. Aug. Fl- The Significance of Pan American ism" was the subject of an address at the Institute of Politics today by Dr. Leo S. Rowe, director general of the Pan-American union in Wash ington. The system of countries embraced included the 21 republics of the American continent.
 pr. Rowe said that his views were purely personal and did not express the opinions of any one of the group of governments belonging 10 the Pan.American union.
 Pan -Americanism Dr. Rowe said, "is an attempt to develop a continental system based on coopera- ton and community interest, sys- tenn from which fear of aggression has been eliminated and in which physical power is not the dominat- ing influence. The Monroe Doctrine Is essentially negative, series Of prohibitions, whereas Pan Ameri- can system must be based on posi- tive, constructive principles. The most important of these are: Ac- ceptance of the principle of non aggression, no future territorial ac- qusition by means of war or un- der the threat of war; and judicial settlement of International disputes. The permanent organ of this system Is the Pan-American unlon."
 Dr. Rowe defined certain basic non- governmental factors in the sit uation as cultural influences and financial, industrial and commercial factors. The steady flow of students from Latin American countries tc | the universities of this country was l presented as an important factor, as
 was the realization by students and

GHOST VISITS HOUSE
DURING THE NIGHT
Family Moves Out and Neighbors Say
Spirit of Former Tenant Has Re-
turned to Keep Things Tidy

A ghost which scrubs floors and
bakes dainty biscuits is exciting all the
Rice Lake District OF Wisconsin. The
ghost has ben at work in the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Kubis and the
whole neighborhood vouches for the
stories told about the strange visitor
Mr.. and Mrs. Kubis say the ghost
visited their home at night, scrubbng
the floors and baking biscuits. One
night, however, the ghost climbed in
to bed with two children in the Kubis
family and later followed Mr.. Kubis
about the house, the family say.
That was enough, the Kubis family
moved out. Now their little home
stands empty. Even the bravest do not
go in during the day much less at
night.
Neighbors of the family declare the
ghost is the spirit OF Mrs. Axel Pick
man, who formerly lived in the home.
Before she died she declared she
would return to her home in spirit,
the neighbors said, and keep things
tidy. The Kubis family does not
know who the ghost may be, but Mr..
and Mrs. Kubis are looking for some
one who will go into the house and
see if he can identify the spirit.

states whose living conditions will
not fit in with the negro hut on the
old cotton plantation.
The dairy COW which fed and cloth
ed the people of the Old Testament
for centuries, and has been present at
every prominent move for a greater
and better civilization has never found
more congenial place to live than
in Ben Hill County. But our people
are not dairy men, 1t looks too much
like seven-days in the week job
with no vacation periods or weekend
fishing trips in sight.
Assuming that these observations
are correct, we might naturally make
the following deductions:
That we must learn how to grow
these crops under the present condi-
tions, and not as our daddies did.
That we must remember that run
ming a farm now is business propo-
sition not something to be turned
over to careless tenants.
That to grow cotton successfully we
must inteligently fight the boil weevil
as a part Of our program just the same
as we plant, pillow and gather it.
That to grow tobacco as money
crop, we must have farmers who are
familiar with its cultivation, harvest
ing and curing.
Now, if you are land owner and
are not in position to do those things,
fer Yourself, the only reasonable thing
to do is to get someone to do it for
you. The only way you can expect to
interest good, reliable tenants is to
offer them comfortable house in
which to live.
Therefore the one great thing tor
us to do is to improve just as many
farms as we can and as soon as we
can, and we will get just as many
good farmers in Ben Hill County as
we want. Then our real estate values
will increase, everybody can get busy
and prosperity will again be the rule
in our town and county.

FIRE WORST ENEMY OF
TIMBER RESOURCES

Burning over woodlots and cutover
lands, with the consequent destruction
of seeds and seedlings, is causing I'M
told losses to the state now, and is al
so preventing the natural reforestation
to provide for our timber necessities in
the future, says D. Barrett, extension
Specialist in forestry at the State Col
lege of Agriculture. 1t is common
sense to keep fires out of the wood
land, just the same as to keep it out
of the hay stack ort he barn, he says,
and the growing of timber returns
profit to the same extent as field
crop if it is given the same care and
judgment.
"In many cases fire actually kills the
mature timber, but if not it is damaged
so much that it is easy for disease and
insects to enter the tree which quickly
destroy it," continued Prof. Barrett.
"In addition to the destruction of the
trees, the fire consumes the leaves, the
twigs and other material which has &C
cumulated, and leaves the soil impov-
erished of this valuable mineral matter
Organic matter is just as essential to
good timber as it is to field crops. A
soil depleted of this valuable humus
will not furnish the necessary plant
food for the trees, consequently growth
is retarded and the land erodes.
another great error in the care of
the woodland is the manner in which
it is re;stocked. To let the undesirable
trees, vines and scrubby underground
remain is comparable to planting a
field crop and not removing the grass
and weeds. A common practice is to
harvest the choice pine and, oak and
leave the honey locust, black jack oaks
and other equally undesirable species
to take their places"
Adaptation of timber to the land is
another point stressed by Prof. Bar
rett Certain species of trees are pc
culiarly adapted to different soil types
he says, and it will pay to either plant
