Modern Femininism.

Two girls were slipping coffee and
smoking cigarettes through long tubes
of gold and amber.
The first girl said pensively, sway

slashed skirt:

work for our husbands?"

General Use Of silane.

Silage is coming into universal use
for all domestic animals and fowls.
It is a substitute for green feed and

men. are being prepared to take Ger

front
Vienna and Berlin agree that notn-
ing decisive has occurred in Poland,
while Petrograd claims that the Ger

the Vistu,a has been checked so def
nite,y that t Russians have beer
enabled to resume the aggressive, an
attitude which they signalized by tie
capture Of battery OF German artil-
lery 70 I e northwest Of Lodz. This,

The Germans are in danger Of being
outhankad. Nevert@ eless, it is ap-
parent that the two armies are racing
each other and waiting for the next
move on what may prove to be one OF
the most decisive battles Of t-e east
ern campaign.
A week ago the Germans were re-
treating from Warsaw. They turned
at Bayon, reaching tae territory con-
trolled by their own strategic railroad
system and brushing aside the Rus
sian cavalry, they began to push back
the army of Emperor Nicholas until
position between the Vistula and
the Warta was reached. This is the
point where the experts predicted
tat the Germans would make their
stand on the retreat from Warsaw.
Now the re-occupation Of this line
probably Will mean that the second
pi>ase of the Polish campaign will
proceed On the more or less expected
lines.
Cold weather is having its effect in

Little Doing In

Danvilie, Va. June e.--The auction

houses have closed for the season.
and will not resume until August 3
when the new crop begins TO be sold,
For the last several weeks the re-
ceipts have been exceedingly small
and embarrassing. with prices fairly
firm, considering the small quantity
being offered. The total sales for the
season will be reported in a day or
two
There is very little doing In re-
dried tobacco and the sales reported
are mainly of retail character. The
stocks held by dealers are very much
smaller than usuual at this season of
the year. There Is more or less low
grade tobacco being held by dealers
but not any considerable quantity.
There has been no rain during this
month sufficient for a tobacco plant
ing season. the consequence Is that
very little tobacco has been planted
in the old belt. nor has the planting
been near completed In Eastern North
Carolina and South Carolina The
situation is becoming serious

not he so large in this section as was
anticipated early IN the year. Many
who had said they would grow this
variety this season are sticking to
the dark, hoping this latter may bring
better price another season.
However this Is not TO affect the

posed TO engage In selling both the

are preparing tn meet this change IN
conditions and will be ready when
the season opens to handle either

Inquiries also lead TO the belief
that the total acreage planted In to-
hacco will not exceed that usually
planted in this section. The scarcity
of labor prevents such an increase.

DEEP BREAKING OF
SOIL AIDS COTTON
PRESIDENT HARRISON, OF THE
SOUTHERN RAILWAY. OPTI-
MYSTIC IN OUTLOOK.

Washington. d G, June S,--Prest-
dent Fairfax Harrison. of the Southern
Railway company, speaking of the
outlook for this years cotton crop
said:
The government crop report. is
sued June !. indicates a substan
TALLY better condition in the States
traversed by Southern railway lines
than on the corresponding date las,
year. This bears out information re-
ceived from our agents.
Some uneasiness had been caused
by report OF drought in the cotton
States east of the Mississippi river
but, generally speaking. weather con-
ditions along our lines have been most
favorable for giving the crop a good
start. Wet weather during the early
part OF the season results in the plan,
developing a spreading superficial root
system which Is incapable OF drawing
a sufficient amount or moisture from
the deeper soil during the dry pc
rfods later in the season, and, most
of the roots being inst below the sur
face. they are liable to be seriously
injured in the cultivation of the crop
On the other hand, a dry May means
the development of a good tap root,
and a deep root system which means
pttttt HioWLA III titS tNtNL Oh uit1d-
vorable conditions later in the sea-
son.
The deep breaking of the land
and better preparation of the seed
bed now more generally practiced II
accordance with the advice of the
Southern railway department of farm
development work are most favor
able. Deep breaking not only enables
the soil to retain more moisture, hui
makes possible the development OF
the deep root system. The lack OF
excessive rains has facilitated the cul-
tivation OF the crop and reports from
the territory along the Southern rail-.
way lines indicate that it is unusual
ly free from grass and weeds.
Reports from the territory into
which the cotton boil weevil had
spread last year indicate this insec,
will probably be found in fields in
all that territory this year but the
farmers know more about combattins
The weevil and will generally make &
determined fight against 1t. With rea-
sonable favorable weather conditions
for the remainder of the season
therefore, a good yield of cotton may
be expected in the States east OF the
Mississippi river" =
