shipmosy in national forests The remainder is owned
by forest-product industries.
The value Of state timber products in 1916 was
1922 million II per cent Of the state 1872 mil
lion from all sourceshs compares with % per from
agriculture "a cent from trades and services Is per
cent from ali forms of government IL per cent
miscellaneous including non-tmber industries.
Thus the Importance of timber as a crop in Mssis-
spp is readily when income derived from it last year
was only six per cent less than from agriculture.
Pupwood production is the most important of the
timber industries IN the south where have half of the
nations wood pupng capacity There five mills located
in Mississippi and the sixth is being built Much of the
states pupwood is absorbed by these mills but in addition
large amount is shipped to mills in adjacent states
Mississippi ranked second among southern states dur
Ing 1913 in pupwood production From 1872 600 cords Of
wood in 1885, production has increased five times to
l,43390o cords in 1s4s
This increase in pulpwood production, for which
small timber is preferred has been tremendous but the
mand is still greater Therein lies the answer to
OF added income for thousands Of landowners scattered
the of them in Holmes county
Grow pulpwood as a crop-for regular income
You will be putting idle land into use giving it need
ed protection and add dollars your bank account At
same time you will be making valuable contribution to-
ward arresng the downward trend in our forest
thereby ayerng curtaiment Of industries using timber
causing unemployment with its attendent evils.
The Soil Conservation Service in Holmes county
stands ready help any and all farmers Of the county Dian
q well rounded forestry program for your land.
Seeding trees can be obtained for Is cents per
acre for planting the trees It takes from 1000 to 1900
seedlings per acre Orders for the seedlings now being
taken by all agricultural workers in Holmes county
properly they will yield from $500 to $500 per acre per
year for the ensuing Is to 80 years at the end of which
around 10000 in timber could be harvested from each
ana as the same time leave young forest.
There are $4,000 of idle land in Holmes county
Within ten TO twelve they would proper manage
should be put to use by planting these seeding
annually and perhaps more for rs or 80 year period.
these days OF lean cotton crops extra $I0o 900
more farm income in Holmes county would not he

the Christ and the glory which
was to follow. Instead of tell
ing them that He was Jesus,
Who was crucified, He opened
unto them in all the Scriptures
''the things concerning Him.
SELF" Thus Jesus put His divine
seal upon all the Scriptures of
the Old Testament, declaring
that they were inspired of the
Holy Spirit to reveal to man
the way of Salvation through
the promise of the coming Mes
siah. How vital it is for every
child of God to carefully read
and study His Word to gain a
fuller knowledge Of Gods will,
and to be prepared to follow
Jesus with unwavering faith
and true allegiance to Him as
the Son of God.
III JESUS REVEALED TO
THE TWO DISCIPLES. -
Verses 1886; John 2O:1-
10; Romans 6:1-1O; I Cor
inthians Is 1923, 45-58;
Philippians 2 :5-11; I Thes-
salonians 4:13-18.
AS the two disciples came
near the village, Jesus was
about to leave them, but they
persuaded Him to stay. Gas He
sat at meat with them, He took
bread, AND BLESSED 1T,
AND BRAKE, AND GAVE TO
THEM" Then their eyes were
opened and they knew that He
was Jesus, and that He had
risen from the dead. No soon
er did they realize all their
sorrow and doubt, took
sudden flight, then He
vanished out of their sight,
Notice the joy in their CONVEX
sation as they said one to an
other: "Did not our heart burn
within us, while He talked with
us by the way, and while He
opened to us the Scriptures?"
They returned at once to Jeru-
salem with enraptured hearts,
having the assurance that
Christ was risen, and they gave
the glad message to 'the eleven
gathered together"

Victory is the keynote Of
Easter; victory over Satan, sin
and death; victory at the cost
of blood, even the blood of the
Son of God, but victory at last.
Where there is no issue, there
is no battle; where there is no
battle, there is no victory.
The Word of God tells us
how Paradise was lost to
man. 1t is important that man
should know that story but far
more important that he should
know how Paradise has been
regained.
Our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ came all the way from
heaven to earth to provide
Salvation for a lost and dying
race. On various occasions dur
ing His earthly ministry Jesus
told His disciples that He must
go up to Jerusalem to suffer
and die. He also told them that
on the third day He would rise
from the dead. Yet when Jesus
finally was nailed to the cross
the hearts of His disciples were
filled with great sorrow and
grief. They were unaware that
Jesus must taste death to rob
it of it's sting, and enter the
grave to rob it of it's prey. Sa-
tan, sin and death were con-
quered at last, and Jesus came
forth from the grave bringing
life and Immortality to light.
CHRIST'S RESURRECTION
DECLARED BY THE AN
GELS. Verses 1-12. Psalm
16; 1922; Job 19:25-27;
Ezekiel 81 lilo; Matthew
1921; 2O:17- 10; %: l.

Early in the morning on the
first day of the week, when
Jesus had been in the grave
three days, (John 2:19-21)
several women came to His
sepulchre bringing spices and
ointments. Not knowing what
had transpired during the ear
ly morning hours they were as
tonished to find the stone roll
ed away from the sepulchre.
'"They entered in and found
not the body of the Lord Je-
sus." Only when told by the
"angels in shining garments"
that it was futile to seek ''the
living among the dead" did
they remember the words
which Jesus had spoken to

them in Galilee. How sad, that
even today some seek for Jesus
among the dead. Jesus, by. his
resurrection, gave unquestion-
able proof that He is the Son of
God, and that God the Father
had accepted His atoning
death for sinners.
The women returned from
the sepulchre with the assur-
ance that Jesus had risen and
told all these things unto the
eleven, and to all the rest"
but their words seemed to
them as idle tales" Peter and
John ran to the tomb to learn
the truth of this report. Peter
went in first, and seeing the
linen clothes, which had been
wrapped around the body of
Jesus, lying by themselves, he
wondered Eat that which was
come to pass" Only God could
have removed the body with
out disturbing the "linen
clothes" Jesus had laid the
napkin that was about His
head in a place by itself.

On ''that same day." two
Borrowing disciples, one of
whom was named Cleopas,
went to the ''village called En-
maus," about seven miles
northwest of Jerusalem. While
they talked together "Jesus
Himself drew near; but their
eyes were holden that they
should not know Him." Believ-
ing Him to be a stranger, they
opened their hearts to Him,
saying that they were troubled
because they believed that Je-
sus, Who was crucified, was He
that SHOULD have redeemed

the report of the open sepul-
chre and the vision of the an

COL. JOHNSON
 OUTLINES PLANS FOR ALASKA RR

Col. J. P. Johnson, on a brief visit to Juneau, today expressed optimism about the future of the Alaska Railroad, of which he is general manager. He is en route to his headquarters in Anchorage after a trip to Washington, D. c.
 Col. Johnson went to the capital to appear before the House sub committee on Interior appropria- lions, asking for the remainder of the amount needed to finish the railroad rehabilitation program.
 Remaining work will require S35, 100000, little more than half the amount for the entire rebuild-. ing program, for which S32,000000 already has been received The committee. was "very receptive"
 Improvements are being made on 418 miles of the railroads $40 miles of track. (The Portage line was newly built during the war, and no major rebuilding is being done on the Anchorage-Sew- ard line, as present plans call for it's eventual abandonment)
 The rehabilitation program calls for such work as bringing roadbeds up to grade. re-ballasting and pro- viding new shop facilities.
 When the work is completed" said Col. Johnson, we will have the very latest in all-steel rolling stock and equipment.
 The 20 new ,cabooses now be- ing finished are superior to any, thing in the states. They are com- pletely electrified and radio-equip- ped. They will be real benefit to trainmen on the railroad"
 Col. Johnson, who arrived yester- day via Pan American Airways, will go to Anchorage tomorrow after noon.
 He arranged to stop in Juneau in order to see the Governor and other Territorial officials.
 One of his most important con- ferences was with Dr. c. Earl AL brecht, Territorial Commissioner of Health. Together, they are work ing out plans for an innovation of great value.
 We plan to assist the Health Service" said Johnson, by running specially equipped hospital cars for medical examinations and treat ment of the Natives along the ra1l- road belt.
 "The unit will include two mod ern, all-steel cars, one the actual hospital car, and the second for the staff and administration.
 We hope to have them ready for use by early summer"

PUSH PLANS, LABOR BILL,
 ABANDONED
Senate Leaders See No Hope for Measures
 Passage by April 1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.--tR-- Senate leaders today abandoned plans to try to push the Truman Labor till through Congress by April 1.
 Its now apparent that we can't make it by that time," said Sena- tor Lucas D-IllD, the majority leader.
 Lucas added, however, that the Democrats have no intention of taking priority label off the labor measure. He said action will be just as fast as possible but he refused to name new target date
 Privately, there was talk in Democratic circles that new labor measure might not clea ar both branches of Congress before the middle of May.
 And in Atlantic City, AFL Presi- dent William Green said it is touch and go" whether the administration measure will be passed at all. Com menting that it hinges on few votes in the Senate" Green said yes- terday:
 "The big question is how the So outhern reactionary Democrats will vote"
 Chairman Ebert D. Thomas O. Utah) asked the Senate Labor Con- mittee to put off until next Friday the start of it's administration study of the labor bill.
