in a New Orleans paper about

zation dawned on us that that
unique and unbelievable institu-
ton has been absent from the
Crescent City for several years

a grim war on, it hardly seems
possible that the people of New
Orleans did not run out into the
streets by force of habit on Mar

age grows up believing that it
is only human nature to put on an
Indian or red devil suit and go

Several months ago in Jackson we met a
certain timber expert, not a government
man but employed by private interests, who
had had occasion to make a trip over sever
al sections of Webster County in the inter-

surprised to find a large amount of valuable
growing timber here and that In his estima-
ton Webster County had more timber re-
sources left from "the big sawmill age" than
any other section of north entral Mississippi.
He said he wondered if the landowners up
here realized the present and potential value
of their possessions and also wondered if
they intended doing anything toward man.
