1t is said there was once a man who
so dearly loved his evening meal that
every day while he worked he did
nothing but plan what 1t should be. At
the thought of the viands his mouth
would water aud he would rejoice over
the food that was coming.
One day it occurred to him that he
got more enjoyment from the long an

ton. and then the thought came to
him, Why not have the anticipation
without spending the money that the
dinner had been costing? So he tried
the plan.

He would lick his lips in happy an
ticipation while he worked, and when
night came he would eat simple meal
OF olives and bread and remark:

The plan worked so well that in the
course Of years he saved enough money

nation during an extremely hot sea- son, the children being confined in warm school rooms, with a high hu- midity over long periods during the day. In these children the effects were restlessness, lassitude, head ache, nose-bleed and similar symp- toms. With shorter hours, and va cation extending over seven weeks, the heat remaining the same, all the children regained their previous weight and most of them added to their former weight.
 The treatment and care of infants during the summer should not be con- fined to the ordinary treatment of definite diseases, but should be direct eG especially toward offseting the eff fleets of the heat, says The Journal of the American Medical Association. Less food should be given than in cool weather; plenty of water, how ever, is desirable. Children should wear little and loose clothing, and frequent cool and tepid baths should be given. Heat stagnation should be avoided so far as possible.

COTTON IMPROVED
 DURING THE WEEK WEEVIL DAMAGE SMALL
FAVORABLE WEATHER NEED ED IN EAST = TEXAS
 NEEDS RAIN.

Considered as whole, the cotton crop made advancement during last week as compared with the previous week, says the weekly report of the Memphis Commercial Appeal, issued today.
 In most sections of the cotton belt in fact in all sections save central TeXas-the week was a favorable one from a weather standpoint, and the crop in all but this section made ex- cellent progress over the previous week. A great deal is still to be de- sired in the states where excessive moisture has fallen, as the retrogres- sion caused from this couse can not be overcome in one week, but much was done during the week to improve conditions, both as to cultivation and plant growth. A great amount of grass was killed and the cultivation of the soil was advanced However. large portion of the fields are still grassy and another week or 10 days of favorable weather will be required to thoroughly clean them. Some fields will be abandoned on account of foul ness. The plant grew and hardened to some extent in all these states. Fruiting is still backward, but made better progress last week than has been heretofore noted. The plant is tender and full of sap and the chief fear is that a protracted dry spell would prove disastrous to the plant.
 West of the river excellent prog reSS was made in all sections save in central and parts of western Texas The plant made a splendid growth and fruited very satisfactorily. Growth was of such a nature as to render the date of frost less a matter of importance should progress con- tinue in the same fashion. Fields are clean, soil well cultivated and plant is green and healthy. In central and western Texas some damage has re- suited from drouth, but correspond ents are of the opinion that the dam age so far is small and that with rain this week over this section most of the damage would be repaired. A good rain generally over the west would benefit the crop, although no damage will accrue from dry wealth CT for another week save in the sec tion already suffering from drouth.
 Insect damage to the crop is small so far. Boil weevil are reported from nearly all sections of the central val ley and few in Texas, Georgia and Alabama. Damage from this source is so far small.

 The letter in full is as follows: MT. J. A. King, Manager Faulkner
 County Fair, Conway, Ark:
 Dear Sir and Friend--I drop you these few lines to notify you that I have received your catalogue, and to express my admiration for same, as It Is beauty and does your associa- ton great credit. In fact, it is got ten up in as good style as many of the state fairs, and you should feel proud of it.
 lf every county in Arkansas show ed this splendid spirit of progress, there would be an awakening in the state that would challenge the adnli- ration of the entire nation.

ing of thos seed, to communicate with the advisory committee and the in- formation will be furnished. The question of prohibition is live one, and the man who thinks seriously of the results to be obtained will give this issue his ardent support.
 The crusade of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries was for the purpose of rescuing the Holy Land from the possession of the false prophet. Our crusade today is to rescue Arkansas from the domination and control of the liquor traffic. The crusade against the false prophet re- quired people to leave their homes and country and go to foreign lands at much expense of time and toll and treasure, merely to obtain possession and ownership of property. Our cru sade requires us to drive the enemy { from Arkansas. We are simply fight 1 ing this battle for our homes and the state. This is our first business and We must not be derelict in our duty. 1 In the midst of this conflict bear in mind that you should not overlook the vote on the license question, and you need to keep in touch with our representatives and senators. The makeup of the next legislature is of superlative importance Do your whole duty and victory will be ours in every particular. The state ex- poets much of you. Do not falter.

Instead of assessing delinquent personal property by townships as has been the custom in the past, As~ Isessor W. N.
