SEVERAL OPEN
BOLLS OF COTTON
The Staple Is Beginning to Open in
Spite of Rainy Weather. Fields
Will Soon Be White.

Several bolls of open cetton have
been reported this week by FARMERS
of the county.
Mr. John Hayes brought an open
boil to town Saturday, and Mr.. Steve
Brim has found two open bolls in one
of his fields.
The continued rains are playing
havoc with the cotton crop through
out the county and the South, and
the prospect for a large crop is not
promising. In fact, the farmers are
bluer over the outlook than ever be-
fore at this season.
The corn crop has been hurt very
little, if any, by the rains, but if there
is not cessation of the wet weather
soon this crop will be seriously dam
aged.

MIR. WILLIAMS A
 MINNEAPOLIS HARPIST

When we hear mention of a harp I've unconsciously think of heaven and the angels, and while We would all like to hear the divine music they are sup posed to play, still, very few of us are in a hurry to have this ambition re- alized-some of us know that it never will be realized, and that we will be more likely to hear the demonic vail and sardonic laugh of the bassoon of the band supposed to furnish the music for the patrons of satan's Turkish bath parlors." However, we have not all reached the place where we need "leave all hope behind," for there is a little Welshman coming with the Minne- apolis Symphony orchestra next Wednesday whose playing of the harp has so often been described as "an- gelic" and heavenly" by the enthusi- astic critics that one may expect to see signs of wings sprouting (why not. when we know that he has swallow taii) when he makes his appearance. The subject of all this introduction is MT. Henry James Williams of Aber- gabenny. South Wales, the thrice win ner of the Welsh Estifood golden medal, carrying with 1t the title of Best solo harpist in England, Scotland and Wales" and the past five years harpist with MT. Oberhoffers magnificent or chestra which is to play at the Bijou theatre on the above mentioned date.

bow yesterday in reading of Stephens Philips "Herod," before most repre- sentative and discriminating audience whom she charmed with the magic of her voice and the scholarly interpretation of the great masterpiece.
 'It was just before her reading that had the pleasant opportunity of a little chat with her and renewing an old friend ship which is very sweet to me. in which she told me some very interesting things in regard to the work of 'The Drama League in Atlanta.
 "Of course," Mrs. Jarnagin said, 'the principal activity with which the league is concerned now, is the pageant which we are to give in honor of the Shake speare tercentenary. Its presentation was in way thrust upon me, for while I was engaged with others in it's organi- zation, I had the honor conferred upon me of being made president of the Drama league just as it was in it's incipiency."
 "The undertaking of the pageant was a tremendous responsibility" she con tinued ''but we have had the most splendid success so far. In the first place. we hoped that the civic organizations of Atlanta would finance the pageant, and so we appeared before the seven teen presidents of the seventeen differ ent civic bodies of the city and asked their aid. They did not see their way clear, however, as the amount required was between $10,000 and $12,000, so then the only thing we could do was to as sume the responsibility of financing it ourselves. The Chamber of Commerce indorsed the movement and the park com- mission was most enthusiastic in it's CO., operation, so we began to make our plans, the first of which was to offer a prize for scenario for the pageant. We re- ceived some of the cleverest and really some of the most wonderful things and it was difficult to make choice, but finally we agreed upon MT. Arnold Car rolls scenario, The Masque of Time, Un, masked It is one of the most beautiful and brilliant things I have ever read, and is the work of genius. Musically as we'll as from a literary standpoint, it is fine. This will require hundreds of people in the presentation and already We have the promise of the Tech boys,

as well as the public and private schools. who will contribute all of their pupils
 '"rhe preliminary part of the pro- gramme," Mrs. Jarnagin said, "has ln- terested the primary grades of all the schools so far, and later will enlist the interest of the higher grades. During the entire month of April the school chil- dren will study Shakespeare and the drawing classes will sketch the costumes and scenic effects of the plays thus familiarizing themselves with the Shake spear rian environments and customs. As the twenty third of April on which date the tercentenary celebrations will occur. is unavailable on account of grand opera in Atlanta, we have chosen the third week i'll May, the exact date to be named later, for our pageant"
 Tn what especial line and to what especial class of people do you think the Drama league appeals most?' I asked.
 'I should say-to everybody 4sirs Jar nagin replied. 'I couldn't differentiate. Take, for instance, our study class on Thursday morning.; the most cultured women in Atlanta attend these meetings. MT. Belasco mas furnished us with several of his productions-'Marie Odile,' for in- stance-for use in our work; he wouldn't allow us to read it to the entire league but gladly consented to the study class reading 1t. On Friday evenings m en- tirely different element is reached, for that evening has been devoted to the working girl classes Readings have been given for them at this time which have been largely attended Lately they have been discontinued but I hope not perma- nently. The regular meeting of the league is held on Tuesday afternoon and we al- ways have a, good attendance
 'sIow many members do you include in the Jeague?" I asked
 There are now something like 5O0' Mrs. Jarnagin said. ''Of course, there Used to be many more but like all pion- ger work it had to be tried out, and the stickers. as I call them, stayed, interested. Five hundred members though, ali eager and anxious for the league to succeed, is an encouraging membershs- should say, to any organization"

MISS ARLINGTON BUTT
 POPULAR VISITOR IN MEMPHIS

The following comment accompanying picture of Miss Arlington Butt appeared in the Commercial-Appea Sunday. Miss Butt will be remembered as the charm- ing guest of MT. and Mrs E. w. Barrett:
 Miss Butt is a beautiful and very charming young English girl who is re- ceiving very much attention as the guest of MT. and Mrs. M. H. Lumsden. In ad- dition to many other accomplishments, she is an artist of remarkable talent, and has done some very clever posters for Vanity Fair and other publications. She has been visiting relatives in the south since leav- ing her home in Liverpool shortly after the beginning of the war, and will be with MT. and Mrs. Lumsden for several weeks, during which a series of delightful social affairs will be given in her honor."
