ONE woman I have in mind Is like
~ this. She will accept really consid

ence, and many times those who do not
know her we'll think her an migrate: yet
when opportunity offers she will incon.
venience herself not n little to return
these obligations. Yet 1t is hardly this--a
return OF an obligation. She is so made
that she is always putting herself out
for other people. If girl comes to her,
Tor instance, with piece OF knitting over
which she is struggling, she will spend
hours working out the stitches for her
This generosity extends to still greater
things. She will take upon herself tho
support Of a friends child as a matter Of
course, and not, either, from a sense OF
duty" TO this friend, but from duty TO
humanity at large.
And, adversely, she believes others are
tmbued with the same sentiments, when
as a matter Of fact too many Of us ex.
pect to be patted on the back for every
unselfish act, and, failing to receive the
share OF applause we consider ours by
right. we feel that, alas, we are not ap.
preciated!

MAKING COTTON UNDER BOIL
WEEvIL CONDITIONS
C. Mingee. County Agent

This is the time to put the cotton
fields in an ideal condition which
practically every farmer is doing.
With the prevailing hot weather and
the work cotton is receiving it is be-
ginning to grow and fruit rapidly.
The problem now is to hold the lar
ger percentage of the forms on the
stalks.
There seems to be an idea that the
hot weather will kill the weevils that
lived through the winter but this is
a mistake. Very few or none of the
old weevils that survived the winter
will be killed by the sun. The hot
weather gets in it's work on the Vice.
wills that are being produced now
and that will be produced on through
the summer.
After the eggs hatch to the larvae
or grubs they require moisture in tbs

LEMONS MAKE SKIN

Make this beauty lotion for a few
cents AID see for yourself.

What girl or woman hasn't heard
Of lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to whiten the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness
and the hidden beauty? But lemon
juice alone is acid, therefore irritat-
ing, and should be mixed with or
chard white this way. Strain through
a fine cloth the juice of two fresh
lemons into a bottle containing
about three ounces of orchard white,
then Shave well and you have a
whole quarter pint of skin and COM
plexion lotion at about the cost one
usually pays for a small par of or
binary cold cream. Be sure to strain
the lemon juice so no pulp gets into
the bottle, then this lotion will re.
main pure and fresh TO rmonths.
When applied daily to the face, neck
arms and hands it should help tc

Did you know that should this milk

would produce 212 pounds of butter

DID you know that this butter fat
at the present price would be worth

Did you know that the skim milk
from this COW for a year would be

Did you know that the manure

would be worth more than $500? s.
Did you know that the calf from

Did you know that the feeds nee

squares or forms to keep them soft
enough to furnish food for the lar
vac. If the squares r dried thor
oughly by the sun practically every
grub will be killed. The writer has
observed that from 80 per cent to
95 per cent of the grubs are killed
by thorough drying of the squares
while very fe wdie in forms that are
kept soft and moist. The weevils
that live through the winter do very
little damage directly but it is their
progeny which does the damage. II
the first old weevils that showNup and
all the squares punctured for the first
three or four weeks were destroyed
the damage would be greatly decreas-
ed.
In many cases it is not practical to
pick the weevils and squares so the
individual farmer will have to use
his good judgment as to whether ne
picks the weevils and squares or not.
In every case Cne COTTON SnOula pe
cultivated often in order to encour-
age the production of fruit and to
knock the punctured squares off.
When they fall into the hot, dry
mulch they are dried out more than
if left on the stalks therefore more
of the grubs are destroyed. Some
of the farmers in the southern part
of state tie small switches or brushes
to the single trees of the plows to
help knock the punctured squares
from the stalks.

NOTICE OF REGISTRATION OF
THE LEGAL VOTERS OF
LEE COUNTY

Whereas, there has not been a new
registration of the voters of Lee

them in Section Apt of the Code of
Mississippi of 1906, that a new reg

Heavy selling in the nature of liquida-

cotton market here today. forcing
prices down for a loss of half cent a
pound before a reaction set in. While
a portion of the offerings was conced-

holidays. 1t was claimed that much of
the selling was of a special nature and
the result of unloading of large lines

Congress will take recess for the

Senate is expected to pass 1T tomor-

Having made arrangements for the

ready planning an exodus from the cap

committees having charge of appropri-
alton bills will continue work on those
measures during the holidays so as to
have them ready for report soon after
