The DELTA GROWS
SIx1Y PER CENT.

According to the figures given
out in the Dec. 9Th report of the
Census Beureau CT the Depart
tteht of Commerce and Covering
the number of bales OF cotton
geown in Mississippi and pinned
from the present crop. the eleven
delta counties are credited with
having produced nearly sixty per
cent of the entire crop Of the state
This percentage OF production is a
trifle below that of last year, but
it is believed that when the final
report of the seasoh's S crop is made
up it will be equal to or ptehaps
even more than the crop of 1916.
The report made public on the
Sth inst. shows that 729. 2o9 bales S
had been produced in the state
from the present crop. In order
to show how largely the delta
counties have contributed to this
yield we group them togather and
give the number Of bales accredit-
ed to each.

yond the parade ground, and he had
suffered from the young soldiers in
evitable fear of fear.
So he resigned himself to his situa-
ton. He emptied his water bottle and,
gripping the end of his gauze roll with
his teeth, managed to bandage his
wound sufficiently to stop the bleed
ing. The languor, however, was In
creaslng. Sometimes he would doze
for a few moments, awaking with a
start, to wonder where he was, and
what had happened. The air was very
still. The shouts had long since died
away, the rifle firing was a distant
cracking; the tremulOus staccato tap
ping of the machine guns was like the
roll of drums far away.
Wallace must have slept for a pro-
longed period, for when next he be-
came conscious he started up to see,
to his intense establishment, a pretty
little girl of three or four years, stand
ing In front of him and looking at him.
He rubbed his eyes, expecting her to
disappear. But she was still there, and
just as he was beginning to piece to-
gether a Spanish phrase she spoke to
him in English.

Wallace reached out and drew the
child toward him. "Where is your
daddy?" he asked. "And who are

She pointed with grimy little hand
toward the interior of the shack, and
Wallace, struggling to his feet with a
great effort, made his way inside.
1t was almost dark in the hut, and
Wallace could only make out with diff
ficulty the form of man who lay, face
downward, upon the ground near the
wall. Presently, however, as his eyes
became more accustomed to the OBJ
security, he saw the bullet wound in
the back of the head.
He looked up at the child, who stood
by, unconcerned. "Go away, Eleanor"
he said gently.
The child, too young to know any
thing of death, went out of the hut
and began TO play in the shaft of sun
light that filtered through the branches
of the palms. Wallace searched the

fall when he saw the work that the
bullet had made of the face. He must
not let the little girl carry away any
