FINE TRlCE COTTON FROM THE
HILLS.

Gen. S. R. Keesler yesterday visited
his good friend, Mr.. Ben Lee who has
been sick for some time at his home
near Hemingway, Carroll county, and
while there was astonished to note the
magnificent condition of both the cot
ton and corn crops in that section.
Gen. Keesler pulled up from a field on
the hilltop a stalk of the Trice variety
of cotton on Mr.. Lees farm and
brought the pretty specimen TO The
Daily Commonwealth office this morn
ing.
The stalk measures 2 feet and 8
inches in height and contains LOG bolls,
blooms and squares--being one of the
most perfectly fruited stalks of cot
ton we have ever seen.
The crops of both cotton and corn in
that portion Of Carroll county, Gen.
Keesler reports as being simply ex-
cellent land says the only thing to be
feared is the dread boil weevil-and
that a good many have already made
their appearance in different locali-
ties over there.

HAM-AN'-EGGS
every SATURDAY

His Cousin Spavin-A prominent
member of the official family of the
Court House is somewhat. Of a good
politician but has a very poor men,
DRY. He is always recognizing some
ones face and shaking hands but
can't call their names. A short while
ago a distant cousin of his who he had
not seen for sometime and whose name
was different, happened to be in town
and called at the Court House to see
his cousin. The visitors name was
Sweeny but the official could not place
it. He recognized his cousin and was
glad to see him. He invited him to
60 to dinner with him which invita-
ton was accepted.
On the way to dinner the prominent
official was much %perplexed as to how
he should introduce his cousin to his
wife without revealing the fact that
he did not know his name. Remember
ing that it was something like a horse
disease he ran we the names of all
of the ailments allotted to that do
mestic animal until he struck on
Spavin-and he thought he had it. He
introduced his Cousin Sweeny to his
wife as "Cousin SPAWN"

Editor The Commonwealth:
1t is indeed a pleasure after such a
period Of uncertainty ard of positive
unfavorable crop conditions to be able
to report a far promising out
look than we have had at any time
since the crops were planted.
1t is of course not to be inferred
that the crops are perfect, nor that
the great improvement during the
past fifteen or twenty days eliminates
the question of uncertainty as to
yield. S. IDS of cotton in many fields
are far fom satisfactory. While the
plant has made such growth since
the warm weather set in and timely
rains ha-c fallen, that a good-sized
stalk is & s;ured, some fields are gett-
ing grass =, some have suffered serious
damage from hail-storms, there are
yet before the crop natures contin-
gencies which may destroy the present
good pro5pect-silch as disastrous
storms, to much rain, or too little,
and above all ravages which the boil
weevil may infict.
Corn is as a rule very promising;
the rains came too late to save some
Of the older planting, but the later,
both the intermediate crop and the
young, looks very fine. Crops of oats
were harvested with little loss from
bad weather; the same is true OF
wheat, which begins to clt an import
ant figure with our planters. Neither
of these yielded a bountiful harvest
oats particularly; both crops though
were far from failures.
The much needed rains fell over TIE
entire section ] travel, giving, as stat
ed, relief to the main crops, but ben

RUSSIA ESTABLISHES STATE /
MONOPOLY OF COAL

PETROGRAD, July,14-(By Union
Associated Press}-The provisional
government today established a state
coal monopoly. At present the mo-
nopoly will be limited to the Donetz
basin, in southern Russia, which is by
far the most important coal district
of the country containing 1900 mines.
The purpose of the monopoly is to
supply the external market more
equitable, prevent speculation and
establish prices which, while prevent
ing undue profits, will enable the
running of the mines without loss un-
der the present high scale of wages.
The government has allotted $20,O0O,-
900 working capital for the monopoly.

NOTICE TO ALL WOMEN RED
CROSS MEMBERS.

The Lefore County Chapter A. R. C
now has v e 200 pairs pajamas cut
out and ready for making, and urges
every woman member of the chapter
who a sew to come to the old Bern
stein building on Howard street and
make one pair there under the direc.
ton of a teacher, and after that they
can take a pair home and make them.
These supplies we are making are to
be used in the hospitals abroad for our
own wounded American soldiers when
they r needed. Keeping these sup
plies up is the women's part of the
war and makes the work of the Red
Cross Army truly a gigantic one, and
means that we must be at it now and
keep constantly at it until this war is
over.
On account of the difficulty Of gett-
ing the raw material abroad the bulk
of these supplies must come from
America. In a letter, Eliot Wads-
worth, acting chairman of the A. R. C.
to the Memphis Chapter, gives in the
following figures the amount of sup
plies greatly needed by our allies.
100000 bath robes, Or convalescent
gowns.
100000 pairs of bed socks.
100000 handkerchiefs.
$4,000 hospital bed shirts.
10000 suits of pajamas.
100000 shoulder wraps.
100000 pairs of socks,
100000 pairs of ward slippers.
These figures give us some idea of
the great task before US.
Red Cross headquarters are now
open at the old Bernstein building, and
hours from 8 a. m. until IL NJ, and
from 3 p. m. until 6 p. m. We need
your help Prove your patriotism and
come.

harvest since the declaration Of war
against Germany. The number Of per-
sons anxious to try their shooting
eyes" and find if it is possible for
them to hit the bull's-eye, or if they
will continue to miss the target en-
tirely, has increased greatly. At some
of the shooting galleries in this city
particularly in the evening, long lines
of persons waiting their turn to set
rifles may be found. There are many
youths in these lines, and almost as
many young women.

Had a Pull-A certain railroad that
runs through Mississippi had quite a
reputation some years ago for the
number of wrecks that occurred on its
lines, many of which proved fatal to
passengers and crew alike.
Following one of the numerous &C.
cidents,, and it happened that in this
n several passengers were killed, a
northern lady brought suit against the
road for the death of her husband. A
jury was being secured. Twelve men
were called into the box and among
the number was the local undertaken.
When the judge put the question as
to whether any of the twelve were not
competent to serve as jurors various
mes made their excuses and were ex-
cused from duty. Finally the UNDER
taker arose and told the judge that
he thought he should be excused also.
The district attorney asked why and
he was told that the juror was an I'M
dertaker. Asked by the district at
torney if he had a stand-in with the
railroad the undertaken answered that
he did. He was excused.

VINO was the Joke On,-Mr. Shar-

always inclined toward the practical
joke and a few days ago an aged
man, a very good friend of Mr.. Pate's
was in his Office and in fun Mr.. Pate
picked up a pair of the Sheriff's hand
cuffs laying near and snapped them
on his friend. They both laughed, as
did others present, and enjoyed the
joke on the older man who declared
laughing, that it was the first time
he had ever been under custody. When
the time came to take them off, how
ever, Mr.. Pate found that they we're
theautomatic kind and could not be
gotten off without a key that was
in the pocket of Mr.. Crippen, deputy
sheriff, who Vas out of the office. All
efforts to reach Mr.. Crippen failed.
An effort to find Sheriff CARROT also
proved fruitless. The matter was up
to Mr.. Pate so he rushed home, got
out his "Ben-Lizzy" auto and started
a hunt for the deputy sheriff. He
visited all of the scenes of action U.s.
nally visited by that gentleman but
could not find him and it was only
after something better than an hour
that he located him at his home in
North Greenwood.
Was the joke on the aged gentleman
under custody for the first time" or
