SOCIETY FOLK PACK
KITS FOR SOLDIERS
Mrs. Astor and Miss Anne Nor.
gan Lead In Work to Repay
"Debt to France"

NEW YORK. Jan. s.--Conspicuous
among the society women who may be
seen any afternoon ehveloped in dainty
gingham aprons. packing kits for tho
French soldiers In the trenches, are
Mrs. John Jacob Astor. formerly Miss
Madeline Force. and Miss Anno Nor
gan.
Miss Morgan has loaned her automo-
bile to the relief committee, and Is very
active in the packing and shipping Of
goods. At tho headquarters Of the La
fayette fund. in East Thlrty-third
street. bales of army supplies arc piled
high on the floor, while on long tables
kits are displayed neatly arranged In
littlo piles.
Mrs. Astor Busy in Work.
Mrs. Astor 10 busy there nearly every
afternoon packing them into huge boxes
for the next shipment of kits, which
goes OH tho French steamship Niagara.
sailing next Saturday. A number Of
young women OF society, including Miss
Janet scudder, Miss Emily Sloane and
Miss Margaret French, will be there all
this week. and theirs will be the last
hands to touch tho kits before the
boxes arc unpacked along the Aispe:
In each package everything is de-
on the firing line. and to mitigate the
hardships of a winter campaign. A
fleece lined shirt and a pair Of fleece
lined drawers, two pairs Of woolen
abdominal belt with six safety pins, a
dark muffler, a colored handkerchief,
and a small cake OF soap comprise the
outfit.
The Lafayette fund was organized six
weeks ago with the backing Or an in
fiuential committee. Tho animating SEN
t.ment of the movement was to repay
artially the debt Of the United States
to France incurred during the Rcvolu
ton and typ'sed nv the names Of La
fayctte and Rochambeau.
Helps in Two Ways.
Miss Anne Morgan expressed double
interest In tho work. ''lt tultilis two pur-
poses" she said. by also giving en-
poyIncnt to the needy through our va
cation war relief fund. which has head
quarters on Thirty-ninth street. We
employ number OF women and girls
thrown out oc employment by the war
or the wives and mothers Of rcservists
who arc without means OF support. to
make garments for the war hospitals
and for the relief OF the suffering in
,, Europe. The Lafayette fund has re-
Gently placed many orders for kits with
US. and We expect the girls will become
quito adept at making the heavy muf-
hers and shirts"
Mrs. John Jacob Astor said: II am
deeply interested in the fund because it
Is founded on humantarianism and Is
| serving double purpose for good. Tho
Lafayette fund Ia material evidence
that Americans have not forgotten the
debt of gratitude we owe to France.
1t Is more in that 1t is n factor Of aid
for American girls who have been
thrown out Of employment by war con-
ditions. The recent working arrange
nlent between the Lafayette fund and
tho vacation war RELIEF committee
means that hundreds of formerly un-
employed girls will be kept at work at
wages SUFFICIENT to give them the ne
Cessltics OF life"

HAY CROPS WHERE
NONE ARE SOWN
A. G. M. EXPERTS TELL MIssIssIP.
PI FARMERS HOW TO GET
MOST FROM LANDS,

Many COW has been brought
through the winter in good shape on
ditch-bank hay. By harvesting these
free" crops, waste places on the farm
can often be made to pay big rents.
In Mississippi, according to J. R.
Kicks of the Agricultural and Mechan-
ical College, thousands of acres of
good hay can be saved by moving the
wild patches about the farm before
frost falls. In some cases these waste
places are covered with crops of gras-
ses that could take the place of hulls
in the winter rations. Others have
heavy crops of lespedeza, which
makes one of the best of hays.
On great numbers of farms peas
were planted in the corn. If this is
cut, stalks and all, after the corn has
been gathered, the COWS needn't wor-
ry about the winter food supply. The
stalks being mixed with the hay help
in curing it, by permitting a free cir
culation of air. In feeding this hay,
the uneaten portions of the corn
stalks will serve as bedding. They
thus absorb the liquids in the manure.
This makes an exceptionally rich ma
nure which carries back to the land
most of the plant food taken out in
the hay crop. In this way the cows
have been fed at practically no cost to
the farm except the labor of saving
the hay and manure.
II oats have been threshed on the
farm, the straw stacks will be popu.
lar places with the cattle through the
winter. Oat straw has been found
equal in feeding value to cottonseed
hulls.

|SouM Greatly
In Need of Rain,
Crop Bulletin Says
CHANCES FOR TOP COTTON CROP
ARE LESS PROMISING THAN
PREVIOUSLY REPORTED.

High temperatures over the cotton
belt greatly favored the ripening and
opening of the bolls, and picking is
progressing rapidly in all portions, the
weekly federal weather and crop bull
letin, received here today, states.
No general improvement of the crop
was indicated, however, in fact, de-
terioration was noted in some cases;
weevil activity appears to have in
creased and prospects for top crops
are less promising than previously re-
ported.
In many portions of the South rain
is now badly needed for fall trucking,
although in Southern Florida good
rains relieved drought and citrus
fruits and other crops were greatly
benefited.
In the principal sweet potato pro-
ducing districts the weather has been
favorable and large crops are being
gathered.

might be able to recall whether any
strangers were seen to come and go

Bradley scouts this theory because,
he says, he understands that the cook
usually showed up about s o'clock in

ley processes to believe that the mur.
derer came from great distance,
though he might have remained in
Memphis some time before the crime
was committed. 1t seems certain
from the facts that the murderer,
though he may have been jealously
insane, did not move in strange en-
vironments on the night of the trag.

Bradley says that there is a man

did not respond readily to the wooings
of this man, or, if she did, discarded
them after she provoked them.

WHAT'S A TAB? WELL
THIS TELLS YOU WHAT
IT'S WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO
PRODUCE AT THE AUDITO-
RUM WHEN 1T OPENS.
whats a tab ?"

whats a tab?"
"A tab?-a tab?-Why, a-a-a tab is
what they are going to produce over
at the Auditorium when it opens next
Monday"
That's the question and the answer
generally given, which has been asked
around Hattiesburg for the last two
or three weeks.
Manager Simpson, of the Audito-
rum, however, today gave the regular
answer. 1t goes something like this:
"A tab, my dear boy, is a boiled
down musical comedy, having all the
good points of the original production,
and none of the bad; a comedy which
in the past has been produced by COM
panies having from rs to $50 men and
women, and costing thousands OF dol
lars to produce, which has been re
built to suit smaller company and a
smaller stage. In other words, the
tab is the essence of the original
musical comedy"
Billy Van and his Choo Choo Girls
will give the first "tab" at the Audi
torium when the season opens next
Monday. The program will be changed
every other day.
The concrete absolute fire-proof
moving picture booth is being put in
today; the seats have. been taken up,
and again installed, making them COM
Portable in every respect.
A packed house is promised during
the opening week.

WATER FAMINE THREATENED

Laurel, Miss, Sept. PA special
from Louin, small town north of
Laurel, says wells are drying up in
that vicinity and drinking water is
becoming scarce. There has been no
rain in that community for several
weeks. Some persons have to journey
some distance to the home of neigh
Dor for water. Louin lake, a body of
water usually about four acres in ex-
tent and which is fed by springs, has
fallen two feet below the usual mark
Old springs, long since abandoned, are
being cleaned out in the hope of secur-
ing more water Late crops are re-
ported practically ruined.

SUMNER HAS GONE;
AUTUMN NOW. HERE
DAYS NOW GETTING SHORTER,
AND CHILLY WEATHER COM.
ING VERY SOON.
Summer has gone.


The autumnal equinox, and the
chronological, or perhaps astron.
omical beginning of fall has occurred
At exactly 1924 o'clock last night, the
sun was directly over the equator.
passing on it's southern course. de-
scending into the Southern Hemi-
sphere. with shortening days and chill
ling weather.
On rough calculation there should
have been an even 12 hours of sun
light on yesterday, but there is a vari-
alton figured to exactness by the sci.
entists. If Hattiesburg were a bit
farther north, and the sun was a point
instead of an enormous round orb.
there would have been exactly 70
hours, but as it is there were 12 hours
and 10 minutes.
The extra ten minutes is accounted
for by the variation. For instance
the layman counts sunlight from the
time the upper rim of the sun appears
IN the East until the upper rim is COM
pletely gone in the west, while the sci
,entists time the center line or point.
To the layman, however, it is usual
ly sufficient to know that the sun is
declining to the point of cooler tenn
peratures, varigated leaves and chest
nuts, not to mention persimmons and
pumpkins and other fall delicacies.
There is always one apprehension.
however. The autumnal equinox is the
time of sudden storms in the Gulf
and West Indies that often reach to
this latitude.
