EARLY TALKS TOSCHOOL BOYS
Corn Club Manager Gives Interesting Talks to Two Audiences
 saturday.

Prof Thomas A. Early, of Mem phis, Government manager If the Boys Corn Club of Eastern Arkansas. Was in the city Saturday as per pre- FiQuS anuouncement, and addressed two large and highly interested du- diences, one in the forenoon al the Crowley Ridge Institute, and another that afternoon in MaloufS Imperial i Theatre At the latter lecture q number of stereoptiCon views were shown to illustrate the very inter estlng lecture. The young men whom Mr. Early addressed as well IS quite d number Of older and more practical farmers who attended the meeting seemed very much interested, and much good is expected to come of the work.
 Prof. ]. NJ. Wilson, of Colt, who las charge of tie work ill this county. says that he is much encouraged by the results of Saturdays visit. and believes that much good will result. Prof Wilson informs Us that already about hundred boys have signided ther intention of joining the club, and competing for the nrlIes next year.
 Less than year ago MT. r (. Miller. then principal of the Crowley Ridge Institute, through the assist ance of the government agent. com menced the organization of Boys Corn Club for this county. Some twenty or thirty boys enrolled for the work and quite number of them prepared their land and commenced d work Some planted too early and lost on account of the dry weather. Others planted too late and had their crop drowned out, or it failed to ma tuIe. However, twelve of the boys have seen thetr crop to maturity and have yields ranging from forty to sixty bushels per acre. Those deSetV- ing especial mention are Marcus Hampton. Howard Moore and Gand Hamilton. of Colt; John Cox and Jesse Montgomery, of near New Castle. and Luther Mcdaniel, of Bonair For some reason these boys failed to enter q contest for prizes this year

AMERICAS IS AHEAD In
RECEIPTS In COTTON
As Compared With Receipts
Last Season

Americas warehouses are running
we'll ahead of receipts as compared
with last season at this date, due to
the fact that the crop generally is
about three weeks ahead of last years
crop, and conditions upon the whole
are better. With good weather this
week a thousand bales will be picked
ont here.
Sunshine is greatly needed just now
for the maturing of the cotton crop.
The excessive rains of the last two
weeks have materially delayed the
marketing of the cotton crop in this
county and in some sections have in
jured the crop. 1t is estimated by
some that the yield will be reduced 10
per cent; others say it will be less af-
fccted, as there will be more than the
average crop.
About 1900 bales have been mark
etcd here and the price this week has
averaged / "a cents, a good price in
view of the fact that the cotton is
wet and green.

HOW The GIRLS WILL
LOOK THIS FALL
COrsetIGsS Without Hips, and
viii Wear No Rats

Chicago, Aug. 1S-The autumn girl,
all advance information says, will be
very tantalizing and dangerous crea~
ture With a Partisan boulevard copy
right stamped all over her, she will
the bodybe the materialized art cOncoi
be the mate~iaIized art conception #
the Vampire. The similarity will prob
ably end there, for the autumn girl
will not have the disposition of the
Vampire. Although she may resemble
that creature closely so far as physical
lines go, she will be lovable and at
tractive. Here are some of the reas-
Ons:
She will be corsetless and hipless.
She will wear clothes of the Empire
design.
Her dresses will cling to her form.
Her face will be an alabaster white.
Her eyes will have painted shadows
to intensity and deepen their Iustre.
She will wear no puffs, rats or eX-
.celsior filling.
Her hair will be parted in the mid
die and smoothed down until it is the
extreme of glossiness.
She will not wear high-heeled shoes
and she will not mince her steps.
She will pencil the veins on her eye
lids and throat forming dainty blue
lines.
Artists say these requirements fit n
perfectly with the makeup of the
Vampire. Stout women and those Who
have lost their own hair through using
rats" must cling to the corset and
false hair, but they will be distinctly
"out of style" The new styles will be
ideals for the girl with a figure and a
good complexion and hair of her own,
for they permit her to be almost what
nature intended her to be.
