THE AMBIItO'JS EROG I In old Aesops fables we read of a frog Who burst, like a bubble, in air While trying to sho* his friends in the bog The size of an ox who'd been there. And the moral wae drawn from this homely old tale That a man should take care what he tries, And plod on through life on a nice modest scale Since only Contentment is wise. But my heart goes out to that cocky young frog, Whose Life was so recklessly spent, Who burst into bits in Abe midst of the bog Because on Ambition intent; But though he was high.ly conceited, I know, I'm strong for his couce.ge and gall, For it's better to burst in attempting to grow T-han have no Ambitior at all. —Berton Breley in Life. ol , u tonic anr , effect, lax a tivh bbomo quinine is t>ettsrth«n ordinary Quioia* - «nd doet not cauae trer/ousness nor ringing in btad.

GEO. SOVI.K eons A Remarkable Record. At the "Grown in Mississippi" meet ing held at Jackson on June 10 and 51, there were many good and true say mgs by the able men on the piormn. ideas really worth while were advanc ed and definite action on several im port.ant subjects taken. It was a great meeting insofar as the future of the state of Mississippi was concerned. But when it came to an actual record ot -accomplishment, the good county of Madison must be unanimously voted the winner. In a carefully prepared paper by J. F. Flournoy, Jr., of Can ton, a statement of actual accomplish merit was made that should be hold in every one of the states and held up to all as an example worthy of emulation, "Madison county imported in 1907 the-following : Oats. 77 cars ; hay, 3 Scare; corn, 74 cars; meal, 56 cars; chops, 7 cars; or a toal of 279c ars. Whereas, in 1914 this county shipped out a surplus of: Oats, 31 cars; hay, 268 cars; corn, 16.1 cars; cattle, 114 cars; hogs, 16 cars; cotton ginned, 18,357 bales; lespedeza seed sold, 9,200 bushels. Inking the figures of the cattleteare inspectors we have aibout 19,000 head of good cattle.having imported in 1914, lr/ . , , .... , lo6 purebred and high grade bulls and LKk) cows, pincipaHy Shorthorns and Herwfords. Readers can you realize what this j means7 It is a most wonderful exem plificatioe of "Grown in Mississippi." .Suppose Lbat every county in the state; could say as much, or even one-half as much, wKat would it mean to our peo pie ! cotton dollars were sent! out of Madieon county in 1J07 to buy 279 cars of oats, hay .corn, meal and chops, item* that could have been pro duced in that identical section for less than the man up north who grew them and sold them at a profit, to say no-I thing of middle men and the transpor tat,on companies that must make a Iiront. , . In 19 )4 just seven years later this demand has been supplied by home production and 460 cars of oats, hy and corn produced to supply the needs of the other fellow. Instead of sending out perfectly good dollars to buy these ... things that should have been Grown inMiRsissippi, the needs of home were liberally supplied and real dollars got ton from the fellow on the outside for a surplus of 460 ears. There is more to tell. Only a lim ited number of cars of cattle shipped, out in 1907, but in 1914 114 cars of cattle and 16 cars were hogs were exported. Look at the good hulls and cows bought in that county last year. It. means that in another year or two Madison will ship hundreds of ca ff .° L 3 'f 6 if• vear 'j ar lL a ? . 98 ? cattle that will command the highest marKet price. And leHpedeza seed. Look at the record Who would have thought of trying to market this seed seven years ago? Approximately $30 000 of the other man s money brought into the county for a product that only a few years ago would not have been seriously considered. And while thpsa nmn* were growing the land waV getting better every year instead of poorer as it did under the onecrop system. What Madison count;,' has accom nlished nracticallv ,.upn WILL. This ayatem will quTck'y r7. build the tired cotton lands and make I them as valuable as any acres in the whole country, and at the same time make our people the most prosperous in the civilized world.
