IMPROVEMENT IS MADE
IN THE COTTON CROP
Recent Rains Have Caused Plant
to Grow Well-Cood Yield
Expected.

The rains that have fallen in
this sectiun during the past two
weeks have greatly improved
crop conditions.
The Commercial Appeals last
report of the cotton crop says:
Good rains that fell during the
last fortnight caused great i'm
provement in the cotton crop,
taken as a whole, although there
is considerable complaint Of
much damage from too much
rain, especially in the lowlands.
where rust and rot are said to be
doing much damage. AS a gen.
eral thing, however, the plant
has grown well, is fruiting heav-
lily and altogether presents a
favorable prospect for good
yield. Late cotton, both in Tex
as and the eastern states, made
good growth, but there is still
question as to whether it will
mature before average date Of
killing frost. The rains have
caused a renewal of boil weevil
activity in infested areas and
much complaint is being made of
the damage done by this pest.
Picking is becoming somewhat
general in the southern section
of the belt, but TO rush is being
made to get the staple out by
reason of the uncertainty caused
by the European war. Indica-
tions all over the belt are that
the crop will move somewhat
earlier than it did last year."

Dear Miss Orr
by an extraordinary travesty

speculation concerning the In

To those who know you, a dis.
claimer on your part of any &C

is wholly unnecessary. The les.
sons of your classroom irradiate
for us still the common tasks of
our daily lives, and mean more

from petty and selfish aims. you
have poured out year by year the
gold Of your splendid talents for

you have enriched and ennobled,
and who bear witness to your

in all the relations of their lives.
Suspicion and jealousy can not
avail against service such as this.
1t is recorded in character and

will pass into the eternal years.
There are, however. people
in Mississippi who have not had

fore, ask you to answer for pub
lication the three questions sub

three reports, one baser than the

First While a member of

taking the export business to
South America. which for many
years past has been monopollzed

Mr.. Foreman states that sew.

ment of an expert on South
American trade, whose services
are now at the disposal of south
ern merchants and manufacture
ers without cost of any kind.
The South American agency
is located in Chattanooga said
Mr.. Foreman, and was estab-
lisht d for the purpose of aiding
southern manufacturers and
merchants to take advantage of
the rich opportunities which .hey
have in South America. 1t is
particularly fortunate for the
south that just now when The
war in Europe gives its business
men such rare opportunities t
get a firm foothold in Soutl
America. there's such an agency ge.les
from which they can get authen

South American agent spent ovel
five years in South America anC
is thorougly acquainted with
conditions in all the principa
cities and with the wants of the
various countries. Mr.. Chandler
will be glad to correspond with
any business man who desires tC
enter the South American trade
and will tell manufacturers in
what markets their products can
be sold to the greatest advantage.
He will also be glad to give aid
in translating letters and circu'
lars into Spanish as it is abso-
lutely necessary that all litera-
ture be in the language of the
country with which it is desired
to do business.
Opportunity for trade is par

Washington. August l7.--Ja-
pans sudden entry into the Eu.
ropean war situation as a factor
which might quickly increase the
range of the great conflict to the
far east, commanded wide atten-
tion today both among officials
Of the Washington government
and diplomats generally.
The attitude of the United
States, it became clear, would be
one of non.interference in the
controversy between Japan and
Germany.
This was reflected somewhat
in the studied reticence of both
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan. The President had been
asked whether Japan's assurance
that she eventually would re-
store Kiauchau to China in case
that territory was obtained from
Germany, was regarded as salts
factory here. Mr.. Wilson re-
piled that he saw no reason to
question Japan's good faith in
that connection. but carefully
refrained from expressing any
opinion on the merits of the ul.
timatum or Japan's attitude.
Published reports to the effect
that the President had expressed
himself as satisfied with Japan's
course werespromptly denied by
Secretary Tumulty tonight al

schools are getting some work ready.
This may include map work, penman-

languages or mathematics. If we do not
have 500 per cent more work this year
than in previous years, we will not have
done what we might. We do not expect
large exhibits, but many small exhibits
to show that you are trying-that you
want to have partin the work. Premi-
ums will be awarded on quality work as
well as amount of work, so the small
school can win just as easy as the large
one. Effort is what we want.
May we have something from every
school in Bossier? We hope we can do
this. 1t will show that we are moving
onward and upward.

miss one. There will be several. They
