A middle-aged, able-bodied woman, wbo has no membranes, has asked Miss Julia Houston, secretary of the Associated Charities, to find her some employment, and Miss Houston is now cndeavoring to bring the woman and the job together.

PENSIONERS MUST
 SWEAR TO INDIGENCY
County Clerk Michel calls Attention of Old COnicdCratas to Pro-
 visions of New Law.

Veterans of the Confederate army on tae pension rolls of the state of Arkansas, and who reside in Jeffer- son county, should appear before County Clerk c. M. Nichol with two witnesses and make affidavit as to their indigency. Otherwise they will not participate in the apportionme mt of the Confederate veteran pension fund.
 This is made compulsory by a new law, and applies to all counties in the state. The law increases the amount of property permitted a ps H. sioner to $500 and an inccne of $250 The old law stipulated that a person whose income was in excess of $50 year or who owned property or Q value in excess of S400 could not be chased as indlgent and could not ob- tain a pension.
 Heretofore, the county clerks have certified to the exist nee of tna pensioners, and On this evidence the state has apportioned money among the counties or the basis of the num- Der of pensioners in each.
 "The new law requires that q veteran on the pension roll shall personally appear and make affidavit as to his indigency," said County Clerk ,N:cllol Yesterday "-They must be accompanied by two witnesses who can vouch for the accuracy Q. their statements. Unless this is done, the state will not pay over the money"

Nuts as Food.

Nuts form very concentrated form of food, in many cases more so than cheese, and when rationally used trey are readily digested aud form part of a well-balanced ration. Nuts arc plentiful in many localities and should not be allowed to go to waste. A pound of walnuts will produce almost three times as much energy as pound of steak. Such being the case, would not the use of considerable quantity of walnuts, butternuts,> and hickory nuts be a valuable addition to the households supply of provisions?

Governments s Figures Show Condition Better Than Last
 Year at Same Time.
ACREAGE CUT FROM
 10 TO 20 PER CENT
Preliminary Estimate Last Year of Area Planted to Cotton Was 36,96O,-
 Too Much Moisture.

Washington, June 1.-The newly planted cotton crop of the United States showed condition of 80 per cent of normal on May 25, the de- partment of agriculture announced today, in it's first condition report of the season, which had been await ed with interest by cotton. textile and other interests. That condition con- pares with 74.3 on May 9 last year, 79.1 in 1913, 7S.9 in 1912. SIS in 1911. and 19.5 the average for the past ten years on May 9.
 Until the official report of the gov ernment estimating the area planted is issued on July ], no calculation will be made by dopartment's crop experts as to the probable size Of the crop The record yield last sea- son, the decreased foreign takings because of the war, and the low price of cotton early this season. arc be- lieved to have influenced planters to reduce their planting to soma extent No official reports as to the extent of the reduction have been made but unofficial estimates place the area planted at from 10 to 20 per cent less than last year The preliminary est trlate of the planted area last year made by the department of agri- culture last July was 36,960,000 acres.
 Replanting Necessary.
 While the early season nearly ev- erywhere in the cotton belt was backward for vegetation, planting operations were carried on success fully. The soil in the western part of the belt was well supplied with moisture, but eastward a lrouth de- veloped Toward May 1 excessive rains in Texas and Oklahoma made q replanting necessary to some extent, but the drought in the east con- tinuled. An unfavOrable week, ex- cept in the central states, followed. During the second week of the month good rains broke the drought In the eastern states, but i'll the west conditions were unfavorable because of continued rains. The following week was the best in all proportions of the belt the crop had had this sea- son.
 Generally favorable weather pre- vailed, but little rain occurred on the belt during the final week of the month. The soil in those portions of the belt where rainfell was light, in most cases, supplied with sufficfen, moisture for present needs and nc harmful effects were produced, ex- cept locally in Mississippi and South ern Texas, where the late planted needed more moisture, and in Louisi- ana, where, the crop was suffering for lack of rain
 Arkansas Fields Grassy.
 In Oklahoma and portions of Ar kansas the soil was too wet for cul- tivation, and the crop was becoming grassy. but in all other portions of tn belt the early planted was up to a good stand and well cultivated.
