Renewed Country
Life Commission
The country life commission is
to be revived.
This is the information that has
been recently conveyed in a letter
from Gifford Pinchot, former
United States forester, to members
of the commission.
It would be proper, perhaps, to
recall what the country life com¬
mission is and the purposes for
which it was organized, for it ha§
dropped from public attention itl
the march of events since it sub¬
mitted its first report and adjourn-
ed.
It would be proper perhaps, to
recall what the country life com¬
mission is and the purposes for
which it was organized, for it has
dropped from public attention in
the march of events since it sub-
mitted its first report and adjoura¬
ed.
It was established by congress
to conduct an inquiry into every
conceivable phase of living and
making a lining on American
farms.
The idea was suggested in 1908
by President Theodore Roosevelt,
who appointed the rpembers'of the
commission. It had been observ¬
ed by him and other thoughtful
men that agricultural'
were rapidly approaching- a crisis
in their relations to the nation at
large, and were destined to assume
a new position of importance’.
This foresight was amply verified
in the high cost of living problem
that became so acute in the latter
part of 1909 and still continues.
The best way of solving any
problem or of bettering any con¬
dition is first to find out all about
the problem or condition from
first-hand sources. This is what
the country life commission was
deigned to do.
The commission as finally or¬
ganized consisted of Professor L.
H. Bailey, of Cornell university;
Dr. Butterfield, of the Massachu-

H. Page, editor of The World’s
Work; Mr. Pinchot, Henry Wal¬
lace, of Iowa, publisher of Wal¬
lace’s Farmer; Mr. Barrett, and
Mr. Beard, of Sacramento, Cal.
The commission began its labors
in September, 1908. It held meet¬
ings in 30 states and heard testi¬
mony from men who were best
qualified to give it, on a wide
range of topics. It issued 500,000
requests for information and re¬
ceived more than 125 ? 000 replies,
Among the things on which in¬
formation was sought were sanita¬
tion, education,- co-operation in
marketing and production, indi¬
vidual buying and sellings trans¬
portation, banking, tenure of
lands, farm labor, and social life

sioI > ma<le a brief report to the
president and issued a resume of
its findings for publication. Since
then there has been no meeting of
the commission, and it has been
practically disbanded.
It left untouched all that mass
of information which had been so
carefully and laboriously obtained,
information the like of which had
never been collected before, and is
now nowhere else obtainable.
It was planned to analyze, digest
and publish this information, but
congress failed to appropriate the
necessary funds. Hence it lies in
its-present state useless so far as
the benefit to the country at large
is'concerned.
One of the first duties of the re¬
vived commission no doubt will be
to make this information available.
As a permanent body the com¬
mission can be of inestimable
benefit, first j in its original pur¬
pose of investigation, and, second,
in pointing out the way of justice
and eqtiity in the tangle of agri¬
cultural conditions, after the lat¬
ter have been analyzed and
true relation to the national
ascertained. — Atlanta Georgian.

Body of Sidney Las-
celles Claimed After
Seven Years
The following item will be of
interest to Fitzgeraldites, as Sid¬
ney Lascelles or Lord Beresford,
lived here some years ago, and
married his second wife here, be¬
ing Miss Pelky:
W ashington, May 20.—The
mummified body of Sidney Las-
celles, alias “Lord Beresford,”
whose eccentric career ended in
death at Asheville, N. C., seven
years ago, reached here from
Asheville this morning to be!
cremated. A woman giving the
name of Mrs. Watson, a relative, I
claimed the petrified body and |
ordered it shipped here.
Lascelles’ whirl through South¬
ern cities developed tales of de¬
ception in high life. Lascelles
left a trail of weeping brides
wherever he went, Rome, Ga.,
Fitzgerald, Ga., Norfolk, Va.,
and other Southern cities were the
scenes of his escapades.
Lascelles’ body, after his death
of consumption in Asheville, seven
years ago, was embalmed by an
undertaker of that city, in whose
establishment it has remained, un¬
claimed, ever since. The under¬
taker placed the mummified body
on exhibition, and it has been
viewed by hundreds.

B. F. Knapp Returns
To FitzgeraJd
Mr. B. F. Knapp, who for the
last twelve months hfis made his
home at St. Cloud, Florida, re¬
turned to the city last week, and
will make Fitzgerald his home;
for the summer at least, although
he states that he and Mrs. Knapp
will in ail probability go to Neva¬
da next Fall.
Mr. Knapp states that his wife’s
health was not at all good in
Florida, which is their reason for
returning to Georgia.
Mr. and Mrs. Knapp were
among the first settlers of Fitzger¬
ald and have a large circle of
friends here who are delighted to
see them back in the city.
Plenty of money to loan on city
property.
