 Of all the delegates present at the District Conference at Ben ton last week none enjoyed it more than our Carlisle and Hazen delegation. We were all made welcome and entertained in lovely homes whose occupants at once made US feel at home. Tuesday was League Day and we met leaguers from al over the district, all enthusiastic in regard to League work. Many interest ing and helpful talks were made, and papers were read from which all derived great benefit. Tues day at 8 o'clock we were enter tained by Rev Hammons who gave his lecture on Holy Land. Wednesday was Sunday School Day and was another great day I think l can voice the sentiments of all when 1 say that we were moved to renewed energy in our Sunday School work and were more and more impressed with the fact that there is a great work for us to do. Wednesday evening we heard Rev. B. Wright, of LOnoke Thursday some of our crowd enjoyed a trip to Hot Springs, returning the same day, the rest remaining until Friday. Tie Carlisle delegates will re port something of the conference at the League meeting in the near future.

Material Advance in Cotton Crop

Material Advance in Cotton Crop Memphis, June 25.-The cotton crop made material advancement during the week. An important step forward has been made in and, excepting a few scattering localities. the crop is clean and iaa an excellent state of cultivation for the season, An exception to this is the state of Oklahoma, where rains during the week kept labor from the fields.
 Reports note that the plant, though still quite small. is heal thy and in a condition to respond well to favorable future condi- tionS should such occur. The crop is still two to four weeks late, however, according to local
 
 ity, and in many sections of the central and eastern cotton belt the poor stands have not been remedied. The older planted cotton in the Southern districts of the belt is fruiting, blooms are reported from several of these sections and in other places the stalk is taking on bolls.
 Such rainfall as occurred. with the exception of Oklahoma as noted above, was highly bene- fcial, coming as it did following thorough cultivation, and no- where has the cotton suffered yet from lack of moisture. Over the entire central and eastern belt, however, the rains were local in ln character and light in auanti- ty. Temperatures were high and the cotton is taking on the best color it has yet had. The Carolinas alone complained of rather cool nights and slightly less plant growth than would otherwise have occurred. In Texas and western Louisi- ana boil weevil are reported. but they have as yet done little damage

out the principal undertaking COM
panies, and monopolizlng the. funeral
business the city authorities have
gone step further. They have intro
duced a system of burial insurance by
which folk viii be able to shuttle of
this mortal coil without putting their
relatives to any expense. The premi-
ums are so graded that the insured can
arrange for simple or stylish obsequies,
cheap or dear graves, a plain headstone
or monument, the inscription on which
he may himself select. If he desires it.
by paying an additional sum, he may
enjoy the felicity of knowing that for
all future time his grave will be kept

All this is TO be carried out through
| the medium OF the Emperor Francis
Joseph Jubilee Life Insurance company,
an institution which forms yet another
department of the city's municipal ac-
tivity. The insurance covering funer-
ais and graves will be divided into ten
classes, the monthly premiums in
which will range from 40 hellers (Sc) to
nine kronon (SlSO.
The insured must be between the
ages of is and So in good health. and
not engaged in any dangerous occupa-
ton. In the event of death occurring

Russian prisoners are sub

hence recently given TO the tortures IN
ficted on them at Riga and elsewhere
may have created an erroneous impress
sion concerning the character of Rus
sian prisons generally.
Russia is the land of extremes ane
contrasts. While it is true that bar
barities unknown In other civilized
countries are frequently practised up
on the inmates of Russian jails, II is
equally true that the bulk of the pris-
oners confined in them enjoy far great
er liberty and more privileges than IL
allowed those upon whom the law has
laid its heavy hand In countries that
enjoy a far greater measurement Oh Tree

AS people the Russians are lethar-
gle and good-natured. And, with not
able exceptions, of course, these are the
characteristics OF most Russian OIL
Gals. They hate doing more for their
pay than they have got to do. For
them the easiest way-the way that
gives them least trouble--is the best
way. The application of this system is
seen to perfection in the Russian pris-

and regulations necessitates hard work
