COTTON CROP SUFFERS
DURING THE PAST WEEK
Western Belt Needs Rain and in
East Shedding. Rust and Red
Spider Harm Crop.

Washington, Aug. 19.-The poor
condition of the cotton crop in the
western portion Of the belt was not
only further intensified by the con-
tinued absence of rains and high
temperatures, but in localities east
of the Mississippi. where conditions
had been satisfactory, the crop last
week made virtually no advance
ment the national weather and crop
bulletin issued announced.
The statement continues:
AS a result Of good showers or
moisture from preceding rain, cot
ton made generally satisfactory pro.
Cress in Carolinas. Florida. much of
Louisiana and southern Tennessee.
but elsewhere throughout the belt
little growth was MADE or the crop
actually deteriorated. except in
few local areas. The crop is in only
fair condition in Georgia, due to
shedding. rust, blackrooto, and in
sect depredations. but in many To-
calities the plants continue vigorous
with new bloom that should mature
with favorable weather. There are
also complaints OF shedding, rust,
and red spider activity in many
other eastern localities.
The crop made fairly good pro-
gress in Louisiana. except in the
southwest portion where much
damage resulted from the high wind
and heavy rainfall accompanying the
tropical storm OF the sixth; while In
Arkansas only poor advance was
made generally and deterioration on
uplands is reported. The intensely
hot weather, with drying winds and
lack of moisture, was very unfavor-
able in Oklahoma and the plants in
that state are small. shedding, OPEN
ing prematurely and burning on up
lands; the condition OF the crop is
now very poor to poor. The previous
deterioration in Texas continued
generally and the crop will be fail
ure III some sections OF shat state:
shedding, premature opening. and
top blooming are becoming general.
Cotton is maturing rapidly in the
southern portion of the belt and
some is going to market as far north
as Arkansas. The weather was fav-
orable for picking and ginning In
the early districts and this week is
progressing satisfactorily.

CZECHO-SLOVAKS NOW
IN DANGEROUS POSITION
Their Force is Small and Is Liable
to BE Cut OF Alto
gether.

London, Aug. 19.-The Czecho-
Slovaks in Siberia are In a danger
ous position and are liable to be cut
off altogether, says the correspond
ont Of the Times at VIadivostok
Only a fraction OF those between the
Volga and Lake Bailkal are armed
and all are deficient in every sort OF
equipment They are cut off from
the far east and it is impossible to
learn what is happening to them
The correspondent says there is
much apprehension concerning them
il Vladivostok and adds:
THE Czechs here are pathetically
anxious to push west and assist their
brothers. They are contemplating
desperate measures in order to reach
them but their force is ridiculously
small compared to their opponents,
while they lack most auxiliary equip
ment and are deficient even in the
essentials.
IF ii is the allied intention to
hold the rear while the Czechs do
the fighting General Dieterich' 8
small force might well be annihilat-
ed. but it is inconceivable that the
allies will refrain from active CO.
operation and that cooperation
must be on a larger scale than hith-
erto contemplated" s,
In an editorial the Times empha-
sizes the urgency of fastening allied
action. 1t says that the Czechs haye
been driven back from the Usstfn
front and also have suffered reverses
in easte5n Russia. 1t is imperative.
the Times declares, to send help to
western Siberia through Harbin.
whence, 1t says, Lake Bailkal ought
to be reached in moderate strength
within a reasonable time.

Mrs. l.. l.. Bowers says: "I know
Doan's Kidney Pills are, good, for 1
have used them with benefit. 1 was
bothered with my kidneys about
two years ago and when l tried to
bend over, sharp pains would catch
me through my back. 1t was NIGH
ty hard work to straighten up and
often times, headaches bothered me,
too. Nervous spells annoyed me and
1 couldn't stand the least noise.
Little, black specks seemed to float
before my eyes and dizzy spells
came before me when my sight
would blur, My kidneys acted ir-
regularly and caused me a great
deal Of annoyance. 1 felt tired and
languid most of the time, until a
friend told me about Doan's Kidney
Pills and l used them. Doan's en-
tirely cured me of kidney trouble
and put my kidneys in fine shape"

ELEVEN DEATHS AMONG

Asheville, Aug. 19.-When it was
learned that $50 Germans, suffer
ing from typhoid fever. were re-
moved from Hot Springs internment
station to a hospital camp. specula-
tion again broke out as to why the
internes drank French Broad river
water when they had plenty of per-
fectly good water all around them in
the camp.
But an officer at Hot Springs
spilled a good story by stating that
the German allies did not drink
river water with malice afore-
thought. but that the infection came
