point merely proves how much
the change has been for the
better.
It may be that Paramount's
major consideration In remaking
the venerable old work is to give
employment to its man, Oreste.
Oreste is a vagabond king-size
singer. somewhat smaller but
every bit as loud as Mario LAMA.
1t is he who plays Francois

Possibly on the premise that
q later "Vagabond King" edition
might not prove exactly stirring,
Paramount has decided to make
this one big. It has employed
such regal elder statesmen as
Walter Hampden and Cedric

real estate of King Louis, and a
multitude of others to wear the
extravagant costumes of Louis

Forrest County in the. 5-acre for
est improvement contest sponsor
ed Jointly by the Sears Roebuck
Foundation and Mississippi For
estry Association with guidance
furnished by members of the
State Agricultural Coordinating
Council.
During the contest year con-
testants performed forest prac-
tees to increase both quality and
quantity of timber grown on a
5-acre plot of their selection.
These practices included plant
ing seedlings, blowing fire breaks,
protection from over-grazing, and
removal of inferior trees to boost
growth in the better ones.
Many contestants piled up adj
ditional points by keeping a writ
ten record showing both cost of
improving the plot and profits
obtained from forest products har-
vested from the area.
As climax to the contest, each
county winner will be treated to
two-day, expense-paid trip to

come popularity known as the
Davis Report throughout Missis-
sippi, and in the 18 states which
have contacted Davis and Elkema
for copies of the study.
With reference to the wide
spread interest being shown in
the Davis Report is the fact that
q man from Minnesota, 50 years
old, contacted Davis and asked
~what Sixteenth Sections were;:- he
stated that during the SO years
spent in Minnesota, he had never
heard of Federal land grants. Yet
Minnesota is one of the states
which received not only the Six
teenth Section, but the Thirty
sixth Section as well. The original
land grant in the state was 2,874,-
951 acres-one-eighteenth of the
total land area of the state.
Due to the scope of the prob
lem, the Davis Report is limited
to the study of the lands in Mis-
sissippi. However, the basic prob
lens are the same throughout the
land grant states.
The apathy on the part of pub
lie officials in Mississippi charged
with the responsibility of admin
istering the Sixteenth Section
lands is unbelievable. There are
cases cited in the Davis Report
where County Superintendent of
Education and Boards of Super
visors are not aware that they are
charged with the duties of attend
ing to these public lands. There
are numerous cases where public
officials know full well their re-
sponsibility, and neglect it. And
there are many cases where
Boards of Supervisors are operat-
ing the public school lands for
their own gains; the theft being
not from the taxpayers of the
county, but actually from tn e
school children.
A notable example of this oc-
CURED in Rankin County, Missis-
sippi. A General Legislative In
vestigation Committee, headed by
Luther Wilmington of Natchez,
found that the Rankin County
Board of Supervisors had leased

of May 20, 1885. 1t was stipulated
in that ordinance that a rectang-
ular system of surveys would be
made of the public domain In
the rectangular survey there are
thirty-six sections in each town
ship; each section is one square
mile. The Ordinance further Stip-
ulated that There shall be re-
served the lot No. Is of every
township for the maintenance Of
public schools within said town
ship However,, as the nation
grew, and the Importance of edu-
cation became recognized as one
of the foremost requirements of
good government, some of the
newer states received two to four
sections of land for the public
schools. Among the states which
= received four sections are Utah,
with total acreage of 5,844,196
and Arizona with 8,093,156, and
New Mexico with an area of A.
$685. 62 acres.
1t was in 1913 that Elkema's at
tention was directed to an out
standing graduate student, Luther
N. Davis. Elkema knew he had
found the man he wanted to make
a study of the Sixteenth Sections
as a possible source. of revenue for
the schools. He asked Davis to
make the study of these $40 acre
sections of lands in Mississippi,
and write the finding as his the
sis for the graduate work he was
doing.
Davis set to work as matter
of course, but after a short while
decided upon becoming absorbed
IN the work, to take a year off
from his duties with the Social
Security Administration, and de-
vote the entire time to the study
he was making. At the end of Is
months, Davis turned in thesis
with the formidable sounding title
