cotton planting operations, 1t did not

cotton in the ground, but just about
the time they were despairing there
came a hot wave with drying out
winds and sunshine, and within a
few DAYS, cotton planting was done.
A full acreage was put In and the
"stands y Of both early and late
planted give promise rather beyond
expectations, Alongside the cotton
fields. corn is moving merrily In the

OF the country, which, since the
passage Of the Sherwood pension
bill amounts to $l83, ,788, PIT

cunt of money is one per cent, 0t
the income OF the wage earners
of the whole United States. and
every family that eats, wears

except breathe and drink water,
contributes its part.
The figures above are taken
from the New York World, Which
states that to pay this vast sum
to half a million men scattered
over the United States and Eu-
rope is so huge a task that it
will take 26 months merely to
prepare the rolls for publication.
There are 5000 with incomes Of
over $2.40O n year, but the pro-
posal to exclude these and thua
save $4l3 600 was dropped be-
cause it would cost $5OO,00O
