A fair attendance of club women,
each with full lunch basket and one
woman guest, met in the assembly
room of the library on Tuesday. 1t
was the "social meeting" the last of
the club year. In honor of the oc-
casion the room was made attractive
by a profusion of roses, and about two
o'clock the baskets were opened and
their contents discussed. AT three
O'Clock the meeting was called to order
by Mrs. Craven, the business disposed
of and then followed the program. A
vocal solo by Mrs. Simpson preceded
the informal talk of Edith Knight
Holmes, the Oregonian club reporter,
Mrs. Holmes, as Mrs. George Gerling-
er's guest, had met all the club wo-
men present so that her talk was
in the nature of friendly chat with
her neighbors. She complimented the
club and said that the club work was
far reaching and covered more ground
than did many clubs belonging to
towns of greater population. Espec-
tally was she enthusiastic about the
Young Woman's Section. This par
ticular section seems to be feature
of the Dallas club that is lacking in
clubs of far greater scope. A few
suggestions were made and one was
acted upon before the meeting ad-
journed. Hitherto there has been no
press committee of the club, although
it has been spoken of and desired by
the club in general. Mrs. Gilbert Mac
Gregor was appointed press commit
tee. At the conclusion of Mrs.
Holmes talk Miss Florence Barham
closed the program by singing
Grandmother Letters"
Mrs. Casey on behalf of the club
presented the retiring president, Mrs.
J. Riley Craven, with silver cracker
trough, and the secretary, Mrs. Har-
ry Woods, with a bunch of red car
nations Mrs. Holmes received all the
roses she could carry and from their
profusion she didn't know whether
she was being graduated-or whether
she was dead. Mrs. Metzger, the new
president, assumed the chair and in
few happy words of greeting ad-
jounned the meeting to the first Thurs
day in October at 2:30 o'clock p. m.
The club women left the library
with the conviction that another good
year of club life was before them.

There are something like three
hundred commercial vessels on the
Atlantic owned by American capi
talists. Some of these have been
engaged in coast trade under the
American flag, and some, chiefly
those owned by the United States
Steel Corporation and by the Stan
dard Oil Co., have been engaged
in foreign trade, but under foreign
registration. Under tue new act
passed by congress, admitting
foreign built vessels owned by
Americans to sail under the Amer
ican flag these vessels can engage
in foreign trade. But when it
comes to the purchase of foreign
vessels to be chartered under the
American flag in time of war, we
shall be very apt to run into some
disagreeable foreign complications.

when Sioux City had population

istence of five years the paper was
purchased by the late Geo. D.

his condition was not considered

years of age, and had been pontiff
nearly twelve years. The strain

The people of Tyndall are very
much pleased over the announce
ment that the great Washington
Highway is to pass through that
place. The Washington Highway
will be great auto road running
from New York City to Seattle
WASH, and Portland, Oregon.
The route vast of Chicago takes it
through Dubuque, Sioux City, and
thence to Yankton. From that
place three routes were considered,
one to cross the Missouri river at
Chamberlain, another at Ft, Ran
dali, and the other at Running
Water. Col. Thatcher, who is
commissioned by the commercial
club at Seattle to determine the
route, was in Tyndall last week
and inspected the three routes, and
the Tyndall Tribune assures us
that the decision was in favor Of
the Ft, Randall route, which
would put the road thru Tyndall,
to Lake Andes and thence to Ft.
Randall. 1t will pass south of the
Black Hills in order to get through
the lowest passes of the Rocky
Mountains. Near the Black Hills
a branch will be run northwest to
the Yellowstone Park. Col. That
cher promises to be in Tyndall
again some time in September
when instructions will be given as
to what will be expected of Bon
Homme county in order to put the
road in shape.

to the complete exhaustion of the bodily, organs. frequently result

SHALL THE THRONE OF KING COTTON RE-
.MALN LN VII NOUTH

The leading nations of the old world are continually exploiting
new fields and expending millions of money in the endeavor 10 wrest
from America the monopoly OF cotton production which the South
enjoys.
These efforts have met with but indifferent success as yet. but
the area of cotton growing is slowly extending in foreign lands, not
ably in Egypt and India, and if the South would retain her cotton
growing monopoly she must have recourse to scientific CULTURAL
methods, intensive farming, rotation in crops, fertilization and diver
sihcation. Cotton farmers in the South must wake up and go to
work in earnest to increase the fertility of the soil and to make two
bales of cotton grow where only one grew before.
This is no alarmist plant. 1t is a warning.
Every year the world is consuming more and more cotton. FIT
teen millions of bales of American cotton from this time on is the
demand of the world. The South must increase production not by
increasing acreage but by increasing the yield of the present acre.

is hardly adequate for the area of cotton.
