SOM METIMES.
BY EMMA RoDEMEyER WATT.

Sometimes when the heart is so lonely,
 And the hours drag welriy by, When life's brightness all seems forgotten
 And the unshed tears veil the eye; Sometimes from the depths of the silence
 sweet thought comes drifting along, Just filling the world with its beauty,
 And thrilling the heart with its song. Sometimes we all bold to the fancy
 That these thoughts are borne from above And sent with their messages of comfort
 To soothe us with heavenly love.

LOGAN COUNTY FARMERS
PLANTING MUCH COTTON

Reports from all sections Of Logan
county are to the effect that the acre
age of wheat being sown this fall is
largely in excess of that sown last
fall. This is particularly true Of the
cotton belt The farmers made
good wheat crop this season. In ad-
dition to this encourag cement for an
other large acreage they view the war
in Europe as an arglment for heavy
demand next year for foOdstuffs and
for a decrease in the production of
countries that are at war. Along the
southern border of the state, where
cotton has been the favOrite crop
since the land was placed under cul-
tivation. the breaking away from this
staple in favor OF wheat and alfalfa
is noted by residents and visitors
alike. In that region the prospect is
for a considerable reduction in cot
ton acreage.
