Cotton crop Shows Progress.
Reports received by correspon-
dents Of The Commercial Appeal are
summarized by that paper as fol-
lows:
Almost without exception cor
respondents report that the cotton
crop has made satisfactory progress
during the past two weeks. No inn
portapt deterioration due to labor
insect enemies or weather
has been reported.
The crop is from ten days early
to two or three weeks late. but late
paintings we're reported to be grow.
ing very rapidly. Squares and
blooms are plentiful. Chopping has
been completed in some sections and
has become general. Dry weather
has permitted good cultivation and
growth has been promoted by plenty
Of sunshine.
Boil weevil has appeared in nearlv
every section in which he was known
before but in no great numbers. One
or two complaints of a new insect
or worm were received and ants were
said to be doing damage to young
plants in north Alabama. Floods
in portions of Arkansas overlooked
some bottom lands. but the total
area was not large.
The one thing which farmers are
tearing most is a wet June. Bene-
fetal rains fell during the early part
Of the past week but continuation,
in the eastern belt. has
given rise to some pessimism. How
every, clean workings have prepared
the crop to withstand a wet spell of
some duration.
All along it has been insisted that
The labor supply would be INSULT
cient in the event of enforced idle
ness for a long enough time to re-
luire extraordinary effort to get the
crop out of the grass. Until the
asst three or four days weather con-
litiOns have been almost ideal. The
general condition of the crop is as
good or slightly better than it was
wo weeks ago.

For Gods Sake Men and Women
Make This War a Per.
SOnaI Affair."

Suppose that the German army
was marching into Mississippi. and
in our fright we appealed frantically
to our president in Washington to
send us aid. Suppose we watched
and waited, the enemy coming
closer to our homes every day. and
we repeated our appeals for help,
help, help!
Suppose it was six months before
that help arrived? What would have
become of us-you and your loved
ones, me and mine? It's all too
horrible to think of. isn't it? Surely
our president would not keep us
waiting six months; he would an
swer our call Immediately.
Do you know that the president
called on us six months ago for help
and we have not answered him yet.
Do you know that President Wilson
asked Mississippi to purchase forty
million dollars worth of WAR Saw
ines Stamps and with nearly half a
year gone by. I'm ashamed to tell
you the small amount we have
bought.
Yes, l know you subscribed to
Liberty Bonds, l know you helped
the Red Gross and every other cause
and God bless you for it-but the
w. S. s. campaign is just another
method of securing money. sorely
needed. and just as important as
Liberty Bonds.
Its not too late yet. Mississippi
will buy her full quota of War Saw
ing Stamps. June 18th has been set
aside as National War Servings Day
and the purpose of this letter is to
tell you to start today with your
and your friends to help
US put Mississippi over the top.

Mississippian too. know you
will join with. me in saying WE CAN
NOT FAIL!

A MATTER or PRIDE

The Ferrols stared at each other so
constrainedly that the children, after
their first glad outcry of recognition.
looked bewildered at the lack of glad.
ness in their fathers face. Why
Edith. what brings you here?" he ask
ed in a low voice.
Edith, robbed of her presence OF
mind for the time, could only echo his
words.
John. what brings you here?"
II am negotiating for the moving
picture rights Of one Of our books he
said coldly.
Mulry. the studio manager. called
out genially:
Hello, do you folks know each
other-why. by gosh. this isn't your
family, is it, Mr., Ferrol?"
my wife and children" Ferrol said
coldly
"We-e-ll!" said Mulry, heartily.
Then that clinches it. l hire your
little son on the spot-and your little
girl! And Mrs. Ferrol, too! Did you
say you wanted to get in the screen,
too, Mrs Ferrol? Most mothers of
kid actors want to work along with
their kids. They appreciate the extra
piece of change"
John would not embaprass his wife
before Mulry. Although he did not
know exactly what had brought Edith
there with the children, there was
little doubt in his mind. He saw that
Mulry had been about to give Edith
an interview.
"I'll wait for YOU" he said to Edith.
why, you're perfectly welcome to
listen in Mulry invited.
mo, thank you, I'd rather look
about in the studio" Ferrol said, NOV
ing briskly away.
Edith hardly heard what Mulry said
to her She thought he said some.
thing about taking the children into
the studio for trial take; some
thing about IS a day for the kiddie
every time he worked. 1t meant little
to her. Only John, waiting outside.
with a frown on his face, mattered.
'Ill give you my answer tomorrow"
she said lamely.
She joined her husband in the studio
yard Before they could say anything
to each other, however, Mulry came up
to them, dressed to 60 home.
'Tll give you folks lift in my ma.
chine" he said, Hospitality. Where
do you live? Arcadia? Cinch! It's
on the way home for me-
During the next half hour while
they were speeding toward their home
IN Mulry's car Edith got a chance to
marshal her forces for the struggle
with the situation when she and her
husband would be at home alone. Null
ry chartered on, the children pratt
ting gleefully at the joy ride they
were having. John sat silent. Edith
strained at her task OF keeping up an
appearance Of cheer She succeeded,
but only at such an expenditure OF
strength that when she had to face
her real ordeal alone with her hus-
band when they got home, she could
only sink YEARLY into chair without
a word
John saw her mental and nervous
unrest and wave of pity surged
through him. He was pacing the dark

sitting room-they did not turn on the
lights; and the children had crept
alone to their room. vaguely sensing
something the matter" There was
no need Of preliminary explanation
by either of the Ferrols.
Ferrol turned to his wife more gent
ly than she had expected.
Edith" he said, do you know
what it means for a man Of only
average success to see his wife strain
every nerve and fiber to make money
herself; to see her even put his chill
sdren to work making money? 1t means
that the one woman on earth to whom
he looks for little pride in him, for
a bit of confidence in him, says to him,
You're failure! I've got to do the
job you've failed at and the chill
dren!"
If he had stormed at her. abused
her, struck her even, Edith would not
have felt SO cut to the heart as at
what he said: at the sincere humilia-
ton his voice expressed. whose hurt
she sensed in every syllable and tone.
