SEEK TO SAVE COTTON CROP.
President Says Labor Will BE Dis
turbcd as Little as Possible.

Washington, Sept. 9.-Assurances
that every effort will be made to pre-
vent the new army draft affecting
labor any more than can be prevent
ed was given him by President Will
son. Senator Smith. of South Caro-
lima, said to-day, after the Senator
appealed to the President to relieve
the labor situation in the south, par
ticularly as 1t affects cotton.
Plans are being worked out by
Gen. Crnwder and war department
officials, and some announcement to
that effect will shortly be made, it
was understood. The nature Of the
plans was not disclosed.
Senator Smith told the President
that unless some action is taken at
once the present shortage in the cot
ton crop will be greatly increased,
and urged that some arrangement be
made so that men affected by the
man-power bill, but now employed in
the production Of cotton, will not be
called into military service until the
present crop is harvested.
The draft law calling men between
81 and 81 years Of age, the Senator
declared, seriously affected the labor
situation in the cotton States, while
to extend those ages will almost
paralyze the industry.

Hosu the Sphinx
Turned to Stone

OF the wonders of our world,
perhaps the Pyramids in Egypt are
the most interesting. There are
numerous pyramids to be found all
over Egypt, but the ones we refer
to are the group one sees so often
in pictures.
OF the famous group, Cheops is
the largest. 1t is 1000 years old
and is so well constructed that it
viii! last another 1000 years. Think
of it! A tomb that was standing in
Abraham's time, and Moses and
Jesus saw it too! 1t took 100000
men to build it and it covers 10
square acres, yet it serves but to
hold the mummy, or dust-man, OF
one king.
II you want to reach the top of
Cheops you must have the guides
pull you up from step to step, as
they are very high and the monu-
ment is built like great pile of
steps. Should you go inside you
will have to crawl along a slippery
passage, very low, until you reach
the room where the imperial dust
has been entombed for all these
centuries.
The SPHINX is a great stone statue
with wcman's face and the claws
of lion. 1t is over 100 feet long
and is carved from one huge stone
1t was supposed to be a cruel mon
ster that killed Everyone who was
unable to solve the riddles she
COVE them to answer. That is how
the old saying, a riddle from the
SPHINX" first originated.
One day, brave man named
Oedipus asked the Sphinx to give
him riddle. And the beast said ::
What wonderful creature is it
whose like cannot be found on
earth, or air, or under the sea ?
At first it goes on four legs, then
! on two, and then on three"
Oedipus instantly answered:
That is a human"
The sphinx was 50 enraged at
the unusual intelligence shown by
! the man that she turned to stone
and thereafter was harmless to the
people.
But Oedipus was proclaimed
king, which was his due, not only
because Of his wisdom, but that he
was the rightful heir whose throne
had been usurped by q pretender

arate contests for the lower and
upper grades, or perhaps one for
each grade. The winner is chosen
by a committee of judges or In
some way deemed the best by the
principal.
Each principal has a report card
which must be promptly filed out
by the principal and mailed to
Washington. Also the Honor Ger
tificate is to be given to the win
ner of the contest.
The government urges that the
contests be held as near as possible
to October IL, Columbus Day. Pres
ident Wilson has also set Oceober
IL as Liberty Day and it is very
appropriate that the Junior -Four
Minute speeches be given as near
as possible that date.
