than he had ever expected to be;
but then he had been happy, and
now, of all men, he was the most
miserable. And on the very day
of his return to the place of his
birth he had come back, drawn
thither irresistibly as he had al
ways known that he would be.
It was summer then and it was
summer now; the same rose
bushes were blooming, the same
moon was rising over the house
tops; nothing had changed ex-
cept his heart. The years which
had meant so much to him, seem
ed to have left everything but
himself much as it had been.
Five years before Kane had
been an underhand clerk in the
Fourth National bank, seven
blocks away, in the heart of the
business section. And Evelyn
had been stenographer in the
same town. She lived with her
widowed mother and her little
brother Benny. Arthur had al
ways known Evelyn, but their en-
gagement had come about quite
suddenly and simply. He had
discovered unsupported depths of
tenderness in her nature when
his mother died. She had cared
for her all through her lingering
illness. The night before she
breathed her last she said to
Arthur:
Il want you to marry Evelyn"

CROP COMPARISONS.

The report of the cotton ginned
in Louisiana, according to the Cen
sus Bureau up to December 1st,
contains some interesting figures to
Tensas planters.
The report shows that this parish
has ginned 4, los bales MP to De-
cember LIST, while East Carroll. in
the same period. has ginned 6.4S6
bales: West Carroll. 5,243 bales;
Franklin, 9,775 bales; Richland,
1873 bales and MOrehouse, H.
SOP bales
Now in 1908, before the coming
of the boil weevil, Tensas produced
"a, 1872 bales; East Carroll. II 500
bales; West Carroll, 1858 bales;
Franklin, 1906 bales; Richland,
1884 bales, and Morehouse, 49,
71S bales; the above figures being
the total production for the year
1908, while the first figures given
above are only those for the period
mp to December LIST. Bearing this
difference in mind, however. the
very much lower per centage of this
years yield in Tensas is very strik-
ing and the causes for this shrink
age in the Tensas crop may well be
the subject Of speculation and in
quiry.
We know that the boil weevil was
present here in great numbers this
season, but we have every reason to
suppose that there was a similar
infestatiOn in the other parishes
named. Similar climatic conditions
existed last winter in all the par
ishes under discussion. and there is
every reason to believe that in the
beginning of the season at least the
infestation of weevils was practical
ly the same in all of them.
Why then did we make so much
less cotton than did our neighbors?
We think it can only be attributed
to the rains which fell almost con-
tinuously with us from the first of
July up to the middle of October
and to the fact that our neighbors
were hot similarly afflicted. We
know that in East and West Carroll
the summer was a dry one, in fact
In the upper part of those parishes,
and the lower part of Arkansas, ad-
joining them, the absence of rain
amounted to a drought, and in our
judgment this weather condition ac-
counts for the good crops made there
and for our poor crop. The wet
season with us aggravated the injury
from weevils and caused great loss
by rot in the bolls and we believe
that the injury TO our crop was far
more from the rains than from the
weevils.. This being true, and bear
ing in mind that our neighboring
parishes have made a profitable cot
ton crop this year, there is no reason
for US to despair or to feel that cot
ton growing is no longer profitable
in Tensas. If our neighbors can
make it proftably, so can we under
similar conditions.
Tensas parish made more cotton
formerly than any of the parishes
named above We certainly have
been up against it"'this year, but
what we have done in the past can
be done again.

The United States Geological Sur
vey has recently issued a carefully
complied statement Of the losses
caused by the great food of last
snring in the Ohio Valley which was
obtained by means of circular letters
sent to the officials { two hundred
and six cities and towns in the
flooded district.
The losses reported by these town 4,
added to the losses sustained by
railway and traction lines, total
s180.S73. 097. Taken with the losses
sustained by rural communities
which are not embraced in the above
figures. it is estimated that the losses
by this food amounted to at least
5000, 900, 900.
From the same sources of inform

were lost in the food.

NEW PARCELS POST REGULATIONS.

The proposals of Post Master
General Burleson to increase the
limit of parcels post packages in the
first and second zones from 20 to so
pounds; to admit books to the par
cells post and reduce rates in the
third, fourth, fifth and sixth zones
have been approved by the Interstate
Commerce Commission and will go
into effect on January 1, 1914.
Under the new regulations par
GELS weighing so pounds may, after
January |, be sent by parcels post
in the first two zones which extend
loo miles. At present 20 pounds is
the limit of weight in these two
zones. The rate of postage in these
two zones remains unchanged.
In the third, fourth, fifth and
sixth zones substantial reductions in
the rates of postage are made by the
new regulations. II will be remem-
bered that when the parcels post
service first went into effect, on jan
uary first of this year, the limit of
weight was IL pounds in all zones.
That weight limit was recently in
creased to 20 pounds and now we
are to soon have another increase 10
80 pounds on January 1. The mere
recital OF these facts shows how pop
ular the parcels post already is and
how rapidly improvements in the
way of cheaper rates and increased
weights are being put into effect.
One of the most important features of
the new regulations is the admission
OF books to the benefits and cheap
rates Of the parcels post from which
they have heretofore been exempt.
