LOCAL WOMEN VISIT
JOHN w. THOMAS CAMP
Flower Day at Nashville to Raise
Funds,

AS a preliminary to the annual
flower day contribution to the John
W. Thomas fresh air camp fund Miss
Fannie Battle on Tuesday, with
some of the chairmen of flower day,
went to the camp. The party con-
sisted of Miss Fannie Battle, Mrs.
Frank Beck, Mrs. e. A. Potter and
Mrs. ]. R. Minton and Mrs. Mary
C. Doris.
1.-THE camp was never more beau
tiful with all it's natural attractions,
and the children were more than
interesting" said Mrs. Doris, when
interviewed. "As we drove up we
noticed some of the little tots at
the play pavilion amusing them
selves in the sand piles, as happy as
the days are long. 1t was revela-
ton to see how well equipped the
camp is to do the work it has in
hand. Generous and philanthrcpic
have by gifts supplied the dormi-
tories with neat neat iron beds,
which were as clean and tidy as
could be, each bed having warm,
all-wool red blanket folded up at
it's foot, ready for the cool nights
which still prevail.
Another thing that struck the
visitor was the exquisite neatness,
everywhere noticeable. The man
ayers have just moved to the sum-
mer dining room, where everything
is provided to prepare the simple
frugal meals, all neat but of the
plainest kind. The children's faces
were all clean and their hair nicely
smoothed, but there did not seem tt
be a superabundance of clothing
and some contributions along thai
line would be most acceptable. The
older members of this fine little
community were busy preparing thu
MONDAY meal In another house thu
weeks laundrying was being done
also by the older girls and women.
Everybody works. All the chill
dren have some task assigned them
and are learning to do many usefu
things. Some of the smaller boy
were enjoying the woodpile, making
regular frolic of it. A large cross
cut saw was manipulated by tw'
. boys, and others carried the Gu
: wood to stacks, where it was neatl,
t piled at the rear of the building
AS soon as our party arrived one o

tented without the excitement and
temptations of city life, plenty to
amuse them in the running water,
the pigs, the chickens, the goats and
all the charms of nature. The boys
have a den on the hillside, and have
royal games and plays.
SPLENDID BUILDING.
1.-THE building erected by the trav-
cling men is splendid, and equipped
with every comfort-furnace heat,
bath tubs, a school room, library
room, where stories are told and the
family assemble at night. This
building is used entirely during the
winter, and everything is under the
same roof. The children attend
school and are we'll taught. Mr.. and
Mrs. Howser are the good people
who are responsible for the manage
ment of this most beautiful charity,
and the children cling around them
as if they were the living father and
mother, as indeed they are, and nc
better testimonial is needed to their
capabilities and unselfish service
than the bright and happy faces oil
the little ones there.
while primarily the camp was
to be a fresh air camp for summer
largely, it is kept up thru the win
ter, and there were fifty-three per
sons there during the past winter
) 1t is very hard to sustain it the
; twelve months in the year, and the
food is necessarily of the PLANES
and simplest kind. The dinner Tues
day consisted of a hunk of corn

THE coUNTRYs ALL RIGHT.

The country now has a chance to
resume business at the old stand.
Woodrow Wilson says so: here are
his exact words:
Business now has time Of calm
and thoughtful adjustment before it,
disturbed only by the European war. "
In other words, the Congress is out
Of the way and there's nothing to UNI

The country has for some weeks
lived in anticipation of this glorious
result, and from all sides is heard the
exultant note.

corrigible pessimist."
The Boston Globe says:
IF the steel trade is an accurate
barometer of general trade conditions,
as 1t has been reputed to be, general
trade conditions are much better to-
day in the United States than they
we're two months ago."

or for political effect, or to regain a
handhold on the public treasury, will
continue to whine. The country is

TEXAS WILL FEED
ITSELF THIS YEAR
Clarence ousIey Says There VIII Be
Sufficient Grain and Feed Crops,
But Not Enough Pork.

There is every indication OF a

OF extension OF the A. a. NJ. College.

1915 will feed herself except as to
pork, the supply Of which cannot be

cause OF the inability Of many farmers

But am afraid, from careful OBJ.
servation and from information re.
ceived from correspondents In various
parts OF the State, that the reduction
in cotton acreage will not be as great
as ] had hoped for Many farmers
are assuming that there viii be n
great reduction and are calculating
that the price will be sharply ad.
yanced as consequence. Such cal.
culations are likely 10 bring dlsap.

country the prospect Is for reduction
Of not more than Is per cent, and
nowhere do hear OF reductions con.

continuation OF the European war
throughout the year is certain. and !
look for no increase in the price Of
cotton with a normal season unless
the reduction is as great as 30 10 per
cent. | believe that even in n state
OF war the world would consume, at
good prices, as much as 100000
bales OF American cotton. but with the
embargo pronounced against all Ger
man commerce, and with shipping ut
terly disorganlzed. there Is no reason
to expect that cotton will move freely
in supplying even the demands Of
countries at war. Considering the
surplus from the crop Of 1914. II seems
20 me that a crop Of as much as r.
100000 bales will bring Ms &c cotton
