total increase of $3.50 in the north

Long Ride Too Strenuous for Ethel

who will stick it out to the end, the
men of the group coming in along the
route in relays. Representative An
drew ]. Peters and David Grey, the au-
thor, succeeding Mr. Marvin and Mr..
Smith as escorts on the earlier stages
OF the journey.
Mrs. Wadsworth's trips are really
journeys de luxe, for she travels with
a score of grooms, a relay of mounts
and wagon loads of baggage to make
for the comfort of the travellers as
they progress on their unique trip. OF
a distinctly original and independent
bent, Mrs. Wadsworth, who is one of
the ultra exclusive hostesses of the
capital, stood next the White House
family throughout the last administra-
ton.
Long before Miss Ethel made up
her mind to make her debut from the
White House Mrs. Wadsworth had an
neXed the youngest daughter of the
Roosevelts to her select coterie, and,
a thorough horsewoman herself, she
encouraged Miss Ethel to go in for all
sorts of thrilling equestrian stunts.
More than once Miss Roosevelt went
over to "Ashantee," and within the
privacy of the Wadsworth estate
found an excellent field for her train
ing as hurdle jumper.

eager acceptance was reluctantly with

Fred Carpenter Is Amusement Mentor

Carpenter takes the place of one.
With Carpenter it has become a sci
ence.
Perhaps the role of critic may de-
tract from his own amusement, for
when he visits a performance Mr.
Carpenter looks at it entirely through
the eyes of his chief. How would
the president enjoy this?" is his view
point-and from that viewpoint he
rules. Fearing that he might mis-
take, having recommended a certain
play to the president, he attends a
second time, this time not to watch
the play, but it's effect on the presi-
dent. If it is what it should be, Car
penter heaves a sigh of contentment
and departs for home.
All of which makes Carpenter a
man greatly courted by the theatrical
managers. They send him invitations,
for himself and Mrs. Carpenter. And,
although there is no Mrs. Carpenter,
the secretary having avoided the
rocks of matrimony, these invitations
are usually accepted. There is no
halfway efforts on the part of the
company when Carpenter attends
That's when they put themselves to

Heavy Rains Do Great Damage.

Estimates are coming in on the ex-
tent of crop damage resulting from the
unprecedented rains of the past few
days, and it appears that the early re-
ports were not exaggerated.
The damage has been especially heavy
in the uplands, where, in some locali-
ties, it will be necessary to replant
nearly 20 per cent. of the crop.
In the delta thousands of acres of
cotton and corn are under water, and
will remain in that condition for sew
eral days. The extent of damage result
ing from inundation cannot at present
be estimated, but, unless the waters re-
cede rapidly, it will be almost total
The rainfall has unquestionably been
the heaviest ever experienced in Missis-
sippi during an equal period in the
month of May, and this is a critical
season with both cotton and corn.

as footed up in the returns made to
Maj. Sylvester, the total population of

Fighting Boil Weevil.

With the reports of the appearance of
the boil weevil impregnating the air, and
the certainty that the pest will make its
appearance in large number of see
lions, especially in South and Southeast
Mississippi, the government demonstra-
tors and agricultural experts and ento-
mologists are doing everything possible
to keep the public informed. B. L. Moss,
district agent and demonstration in the
farmers cooperative work, has given out
an address or letter of instructions on
the subject, in which he says, relative to
reHaining cultural methods most desira-
BILE:
AS soon as the young cotton shows
above the ground, cultivation with har
row or weeder should begin, running the
implement straight across the rows. 1t
is surprising how much treatment OF
this kind the young plants will stand
without injury. BY this means any
crust that may have formed is broken,
thus allowing the struggling young
plants to come through; a dust mulch
is formed to conserve moisture; a great
deal of grass that is just emerging is
killed. Remember that the best time to
kill grass is just before it comes up. Flu
ture cultivation should continue as late
as possible, and should be shallow and
frequent, the main object being never to
let crust form over the surface. A dust
mulch conserves moisture, and its heat
is highly fatal to the young weevils in
the fallen squares. 1t is of the most
extreme Importance. See that it is kept
in your cotton fields"

that it is not intoxicating, and that

FOR YOUR HEALIH'S SAKE
VALUE OF FRUIT,

An Arabian proverb says:
"Fruit is gold in the morning, sill
yer at noon, and lead at night"
But even taken in quantities for
the evening meal it wauld be far
better than the rich meats, gra-
vies, and buildings that so often
form the seven o'clock dinner.
AS rule the American people
eat too much meat ard not enough
fruits and vegetables. Especially
does this apply to city dweIIers
and to those of sedentary habits.
For those who work hard at
physical labor and out of doors
the meat diet is not 50 harmful,
and there is little danger of over
nutrition. But the Office man AMI
those employed indoors and at the
Iiqhtcr occupations would be bet
ter off with less meat and more
fruits ard vegetables.

Before this is due, however, the treas

mated, will practically offset the school
