vailing in the western portion OF the
cotton belt and it closed with the
drouth relieved in both Texas and
Oklahoma. Tt is not believed that the
drought did any important dam

belt were well worked and in fairly
|flourishing condition, and, although
a continuance Of the drought would
no doubt have done damage, the ad-
vent of timely rains has only served
Ito accentuate an already favorable
condition.
Outside of the western belt the
rainfall has been ample and wei
distributed, with the possible excep-
ton of few districts in the western
lportion of the Carolinas. The Texas

The Servant Question.

Eve-Up-to-Date in the Times
Democrat: As long as we are de-
pendent on outside labor in regulat-
ing our households we will have to
deal with the problem OF the servant
question. Undoubtedly the vast ma
jority of help" is incompetent, but
|even when that rara avis, trained
maid, is found she seems unwilling
to remain for any length of time i'll
|certaiIl households. The mistress of
|such home heard in an indirect
manner that much valued cook in
tending leaving because she was al
ways cooking for company and had
nothing to cook WITH An inspection
of the kitchen showed this to be
true; it was poorly supplied with
pots and pans, and there was not a
isingle labor-saying device. The
kitchen once properly furnished
there was no more said about seek
| ing another position.
If servants are continually dissat-
listed there is generally some cause,
which the wise woman will seek to
find out. The maid is not always at
fault; 1t is sometimes the mistress.
