Aids In Combating Boil Weevil
Under boil weevil conditions, early
maturing OF cotton Is essential. Acid

II the Southern farmer had to pay

viii be doing a public service and
best honoring her hero's memory II
She puts on her old 'colored dress and
goes unwhiningly about her dali!
duties.
She saddens no one lse with her
sorrow. She stabs no other woman
10 the heart with a remembrance OF
her own loss or a sudden fear OF The
dread fate that may be coming TO her,
too. Her colored dress worn when her
very soul is black with mourning, Is
the red badge of courage. She is do.
ing her bit to keep up the morale OF
the men at the front and the women
at home.
Another reason why women should
not wear mourning during the war Is
because II is needless waste and ex'
pense. We need the looms to weave
other cloth than black goods. We need
the money that mourning costs for
other purposes-to feed the living and
clothe the naked.
Every woman has q lot Of dresses
that have months and perhaps years
of service In them that would have
been thrown away II she went into
mourning. Going into mourning. also
involves a thousand expenses in the
way of the small but necessary ad'
tuncts to a woman's toilette. Black
articles have to be Of better quality
than colored ones and consequently
cost more. The price of a very cheap
mourning outfit would buy a liberty
bond. The cost Of a complete mourn.
ing Equipment for a well.to-do family
would buy many liberty bonds.
It Is said that this war is going to
be won by money and that the victors
will be those who have the last big
guns and the last tons Of shrapnel.
Therefore the women of the country
cannot only do big patriotic duty,
but avenge their dead by putting their
money into bullets instead Of crepe.
Another reason, and perhaps it's the
most important reason of all, why
women should not wear mourning dur.
ing this war Is because of the effect
that clothing themselves in black Will
have upon their own health and spir.
