dINNERS' REPORT SHOWS
BUT SLIGHTsINCREASE

According 10 the report Of Gin
statistician w A. Fife. there were
1879 bales Of cotton, counting round
as half bales, ginned n Claiborne
county from the crop Of 1918 prior
TO October 1s, 1915, as compared with
1880 bales ginned to October is. 1917.
This report is disappointing be-
cause It does not show a much larger
number Of bales ginned this year than
last, It was generally believed that
because Of the almost unprecedented
" early maturity Of the crop the first
few months would show very large
gin receipts.

RED CROSS NOTES.


The rules for sending Christmas
packages to the soldiers this year are
Important and interesting The inter
esting feature Is that each soldier Sc
lects the person from whom he would
prefer to receive his present. 1t may
be his mother or some one else. II
IS rather an important choice that he
makes; since he Is allowed but one
package, and If the person from whom
he hopes to receive it fails him, he
gets no package. Therefore. to be
he one thus selected is rather a re-
ponsible privilege, and there is no
oubt that the mothers and friends
will rise to it,
The scheme is this Each soldier
,eceives one standard label bearing
ais name and address There are no
duplicates. If he loses his label, he
gets no package This label he sends
to the favored person, as aforesaid,
consequently the possession Of one Of
these labels Is a certificate of the right
send Christmas present to sol
ier, the only certificate which the
Red Cross is permitted to honor
The presents must be sent in stand
ard boxes Of uniform size, and there
are strict rules regarding weight and
character Of contents A supply of
these boxes Is sent to the chairman
Of the home service section Of each
chapter for distribution That chair
man IN our chapter is Mrs. Charles
Gordon. She has placed the boxes in
he chapter work room in, Port Glib
son. and in the branch work room in
HermanvilIe Any one who has re-
,eiyed a standard label is expected
o go at once to the local work room,
10 receive a box and copy Of the
rules for filing It. It is important
that these rules be studied carefully,
since each box must be inspected be-
ore it can be forwarded. The in
iividual sender must not mail the
box. He or she must return 1t un-
sealed to the local work room for in
spection 1t will then be forwarded
Il In the regular manner.
It Is hoped that there may be no
clay In attending to all this, because
10 package can be received for ship
nent after Nov 90

Parents of Cutworms.
The parents of cutworms are gray

which commonly occur at lights during
summer evenings. Each moth may lay
from 200 to 500 eggs. either in masses
or singly. in fields covered with dense
vegetation, and hence the eggs are to
be found more often than elsewhere In
cultivated fields which have been in
grass or weeds the preceding fall.
The eggs hatch in the fall, few weeks
after they are laid. usually during
September, and the young cutworms,

tation until cold weather. pass the
