rsuch disagreeable weather to SIM

-'on this particular occasion the
vote vac surprisingly large, and
'almost every precinct in the pa

'greater interest IN the election.
The result in this parish is Just
what was expected, that Mr.. ST.

TIE CROPS.

Showers have been falling over
this section for nearly six weeks,
aud they have become so frequen;
as to almost entirely suspend field
work. Cotton crops that looked
very promising before the rainy
spell are now almost lost in grass
in other places the crop has grown
to wonderful size, but has produ-
ced no fruit and ia some instances
The cotton is shedding. The cot
top is seriously injured in this sec
ton, though perhaps not to the
extent reported 10y some planters.
In some few places DO damage
is reported, in others the damage
Is pat down at 25 per cent, and
IN some few places the damage is
estimated at 80 per cent. We be-
i'eye the damage reported by the
planters, is really what it repre-
sents at this time, but we are of
opinion that the crop will improve
AS soon as the weather become
fair.
The cane is crop that can
ssaad a great deal OF rain at this
sesson, dut even The cane planters
say they are having too much as
the cane is suffering from too
much water.

DRIVING LONG DIS-
 TAKCE TO A DANCE

People out west think nothing of a drive of thirty or forty miles day. said J. w. Llewellyn of Seattle, Wash T was born on a stock ranch of about 2,000 acres, twenty-eight miles north of Seattle, and we used to drive In to the city every day for mail and other things. We thought nothing of driv- ing thirty miles to a dance, enjoy ing ourselves until 2 or o'clock in the morning, and then driving home again. And we did not seem to be as tired as people do nowadays when they dance till 12 o'clock and then ride home a short distance in hack.
 'I remember one experience had in particular. I started out one night to attend dance forty miles away, I had gone about half way when I had an accident and my rig broke down. After a delay of over an hour I man. aged to fix it up so that it would stand a good journey and resumed my trip.
 ''By the time I reached the hall the dance was over, but to my surprise | found young woman sitting there on the front steps. Her escort had be- come sore at her, as she said, and had gone home with another girl and she was waiting for daylight in hopes some one would come along and she could get ride home. Well, I wasn't particular when reached home, s0 took her in my buggy and drove seven " miles ont of my way to take her home. waukee Sentinel.

Commenting on the recent report of the government committee appointed in England to inquire into the question of physical deterioration, the hospital, says the committee, as was to De ex- pected, lay great stress upon alcohol and tobacco as causes of physical de- terieration, and they say among other things, that the effect upon offspring of maternal drunkenness, or, at least, of the drunkenness of both parents, is very much greater and more serious than that of the drunkenness of the father only, and also that drunkenness among married women is greatly upon the increase. Their indictment of to- bacco is mainly based upon its as. sumed direct deleterious influence upon ! young smokers, and no ascerfained or probable effect upon offspring is even referred to. However, nothing Is raore certain than the frequent transmission of an unstable nervous system to oft- spring, and few things seem more cal culated to produce such instability than that the daily saturation with nar- cotic of the body of an under-nour. ished and incorporate man.

The Aryan branch of the human race has been moving westward for three thousand or more years, says one writer. It has crossed two continents and one ocean and has temporarily been brought to halt at the eastern shore of the Pacific sea. Civilization has progressed as the Aryans have moved toward the setting sun and here should be found all the wisdom developed by the people who have mi grated half around the world and have founded great nations in Europe and America. It must be remembered that there is to be no turning backward, for the countries between the Pacific ocean and Mount Caucasus are all oc- cupied and are sending their surplus populations westward as their ances- tors did before them.

Pattern For child's Dress Designed by Martha
 Dean

Patterns for childFens clothes, espe- .cially for little tots, are always interest .ng-more so, perhaps. than patterns for dresses for the elder folks. The reason for tais is that the woman who aesitates to make her own dresses at home is often very adept at, making children's attire. She has, undonsciously perhaps, become quite an expert through suc- cession of years and changing seasons. Her first sewing commenced with the layette, then the short dresses and then the other clothes as the youngsters grew up. The pattern that is followed more than any other up to the age of five or six is the square yoke Mother Hubbard style It seems simple enough to make such garment. but one really needs q good pattern, for 1t Is not go easy to give the right At, as Is evidenced by the many dresses one sees with yolSes askev and the dress shorter in the front than any, where else.
