FIGURING FOURTEEN MILLION
Bales As 1910 Cotton CrUp-Caro-
lima Condition Is or.

ditions indicate cotton crop Of H.
10000 equivalent 500-pound bales
this year. The Department of Agri-
culture forecasts this total produc-
ton to-day in connection with it's re-
port announcing the condition of the
crop on June 25 and the preliminary
estimate Of this year'sracreage. Last
years crop, the smallest since 1909,
was l.14i,S2O bales, while two
years ago it was G,l34,93O bales,
the biggest crop ever grown. In 1913
it was IA. 1856 .iSG bales, and in 1912
the production was l3,703,A2l bales.
In it's preliminary estimate Of the
area OF cotton in cultivation this
year. the department places the fig
urcs at 30, 900 acres. That COM
pares with 32, 100000 acres the re-
viscd estimate Of acreage in cultiva-
ton 4 year ago, and with 36,S32 900
acres harvested in 1914, the year rec
ord production, 37,0SJ,00O in 1919,
tho year OF record average and 3d.
The condition Of the growing crop
on June % was Sl.l per cent OF IA
normal, as compared with 77.5 per
cent on May % this year. SO.3 per
cent on June % last year, and SO.2
per cent the average condition for
the last ten years on June %.
Since the May 25 report was made,
placing the condition at 77.5 per
cent OF a normal. the weather has not
been entirely favorable for the grow
ing crop. 1t has been too wet to per-
nit OF satisfactory cultivation and
too cool for proper growth. During
the first week following the May re-
port the weather was favorable for
development and the crop was re-
, ported improving steadily. Boil wee
vii were reported in Southern Ala
bama and IN parts Of MissiSsippi
Rains hindered cultivation during
the second week in the north and
there was considerable complaint of
slow growth. due to cool nights, in
nearly all sections, while boil wcevil
were reported numerous in Alabama
and were found in Florida. Some
damage from weevil was reported.
Rainy weather and unreasonable cold
continued during the latter part Of
the month. checking growth, but the
plants were reported improving gen.
orally in the central and southern
parts Of the belt. The weevil was re-
ported in parts Of Texas and North
ern louisiana
In calculating its forecast OF total
production the bureau Of crop esti-
mates based the yield on the condi-
ticl Of the crops on June 25 and the
preliminary estimate of the acreage,
allowing for abandonment one per
cent from the planted area. The
final production, however, probably
will be larger or smaller than esti-
mated according as conditions from
now until time Of picking are better
or worse than average conditions.
The area under cultivation June
25, by States. this year and last, are
shown below:

MONTHS FACE GUARDSAlIiN
Along EiGhtEcn-IIu Front
on Mexican Border.

Washington. July 3.-While the
diplomatic aspects OF the Mexican
difficulty showed no change tonight,
War Department measures for a new
distribution Of the border patrol
clearly indicated that months Of ac-
tive service along the frontier await
the thousands OF National Guardsmen
gathering in the South. Only the ap-
pointment OF a general officer to SUI
prcme command is lacking now to
complete adequate administrative
machinery not only for border opera
tions, but for a campaign OF any de-
sired proportions in Mexico.
Under the new plan the l.S00-mile
frontier will be divided so that the
Southern and Western military de-
partments will take care Of the East
ern and Western cxtremities of the
line. respectively. Major Gen. Fun
ston, relieved from the responsibility
for the entire border at his own rec
ommcndation. will continue in com
mand or the Southern Department.
while Major Gen. j. Franklin Bell,
commanding the Western Depart-
mcnt. will transfer his Headquarters
from San Francisco to Douglas. AriZ.,
to be in direct touch with his share
Of tho border work.
The mid section Of the border linet
embracing all territory between El
Paso and a point near Douglas and
reaching northward to the Colorado

dismissed on Il technicality. An ap-
peal was made to the Supreme Court
OF the United States. but while this
was pending a private settlement was
reached.
From those days to the time OF
her death Hetty Green was involved
in some law suit or other, asserting
that lawyers were forever trying to
rob her Of her property. Her antipa-
thy toward them was so violent that
she said. Il would rather have my
daughter burned at the stake than to
go through what | have with law
ycrs."
She married in 1867. Her husband
was Edward IT. Green. who was Uni
ted States consul general in Manila,
where he made a fortune in the silk
trade. 1t is said Green, at a public
dinner, heard some one speak Of Het-
ty Robinson as "the greatest Ameri-
can heiress." and straightway an
nounced his determination to marry
her. Before the wedding day an
agreement was signed to the effect
that the wlfe's fortune should never
ne drawn on to meet the husbands
expenses. He died in 1902, after
having lost most of his money in
Wall street.

Dandruff Soon
Ruins the Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick
beautiful, glossy, silky hair. do by all
means get rid OF dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it If you
don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve 1t, then you destroy it entirely
To do this. get about four ounces OF
ordinary liquid arvon; apply 1t at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
>By morning most, If not all, of your
GZ4druff will be gone. and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of 1t.
You will find. too. that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop, and
your hair will look and feel a hundred
times better. You can get liquid arvon
at any drug store. 1t is inexpensive
and four ounces is all you will need,
TO matter how much dandruff you
have. This simple remedy never fails

Ladies Rub Wrinkles
With Amonized Cocoa
And Watch Them Go
Beauty Doctor Says Any Woman May
Look From 10 to 20 Years Younger

LOOK from 1O 10 70 Years Younger
If your skin shows signs of becom-
ing wrinkled or f1abby, go to any good
druggist and get a little amonized CO.
Goa and apply this at night over your
entire face and neck; massage it into
the skin with the finger tips for about
two minutes and then wipe off the-sur-
plus with a soft dry cloth. Nothing
else is required and you will be sur
prised to see how quickly it brightens
up your complexion and how nicely it
takes out the wrinkles and contracts
the loose skin and enlarged pores.
Beauty Doctors say that it Is the
only method in the world that will
actually remove wrinkles and make
old faces look young and beautiful
Amonized cocoa costs little, Is easy
and delightful to apply, does not pro-
mote hair growth and will keep sweet
and fresh indefinitely. Druggists
everywhere are recommending it in
place of face creams and lotions, for
instead of hiding your wrinkles or
complexion defects, 1t removes them.
This Is why many society women,
who would not touch an ordinary cold
cream, are enabled to keep their skin
free from wrinkles and so young and
girlish in appearance. Every lady who
wants to possess q clear. fair skin,
free from wrinkles should just try this
for few nights. A delightful surprise
will await tyou.-Advertisemen

riage service was recommended in a
minority report of the joint commits
sion on common prayer submitted to
the house of deputies, but the house of
deputies referred back to the commits
sion all proposed changed in the mar
riage ceremony, in the catechism and
in the institution of clergymen, and
these questions cannot come before the
convention again for three years.
The minority report suggested also
the omission of thew ords land with
all my worldly goods 1 thee bestow'' in
the service. An argument advanced
was that the expression "endow' is a
relic of old English law, under which
the dover rights of women were guar
anteed and that to-day the question
involved is a civil one to be taken for
granted.
Among the changes suggested in the
majority report were the shortening OF
the first five commandments as read in
the communion service: the elimina-
ton of specific prayer for Jews and
Turks. 1t being argued that the present
prayer in connection with infidels is
inaccurate because 1t is clear Moham-
medans are meant instead of Turks"
Shorter Commandments
AS proposed the commandme ents
would read:
Thou shalt have no other gods
but me.
Thou shalt not make unto thy
self any craven image, nor the
likeness of anything that is in the
heaven above the earth beneath,
or in the waters under the earth
thou shalt not bow down to them
or worship them.
Thou shalt not take the name
of the Lord, thy God. in vain.
Remember that thou keep holy
the Sabbath Day.
Honor thy father and thy
mother.
accommodation also is made that
the phrase who are vile on earth and
miserable sinners be stricken out of
the litany and that the words 1--WE
meckly acknowledge our vileness" be
changed to I'VE meekly acknowledge
our sins" Condemnation" Is sub
stituted for "damnation" in the phrase
